I keep a tin of this on my bedside table and use it every night. I love it!
I have always had hard healthy nails, but wearing nail polish all the time and having hands that are being constantly washed does some damage. I love that the product is a creme instead of an oil (they are soo messy!) and the fact that it really does work. The lemony scent is really nice and uplifting (and I don't even like lemon that much)
The only downside to this product, is that like many of burt's bees products, it is not fast absorbing. However, I don't mind at all because it gets the job done.

Soprano Handbags

I have the bag pictured in avocado green and a pleated tote in black and I love them both!
I usually don't pay that much for a bag ($250 and $160) but they just looked so good I couldn't help it. Soprano bags are made from a high quality leather and have amazing workmanship. Both of my bags are fully lined (the newer of the two, the one shown has super cute leopard print lining) and leather trimmed interior pockets. The bags are both rather big, but are designed with organization in mind (ie lots of pockets) and really well made reinforced handles.
They are Canadian made and well worth their price. With the trendy yet classic styling and quality leather, you will have them for life.

Avon Naturals Antibacterial Hand Gel

This hand sanitizer comes in three scents: vanilla, peach and cucumber melon (I think they have discontinued the gardenia one) and is so great.
It comes in two different sizes 75 ml and a mini one (14 ml) which is usually $0.99. I love that the mini one fits anywhere (even the smallest purse) but is still a quick way to "wash" your hands. The smell when they dry is really nice, not too strong but waayy better than that alcohol scent you get off of normal ones. If you use them all the time they can be a bit drying on hands, but Avon also has matching hand cream which comes in matching scents and works well.

I got this on sale for $9.99 after trying the sample.
This is not a very sophisticated scent, but it is fun, bright and clean. It has a fruity pomegranate and black cherry notes with a hint of amber. It goes on quite strong, but is really nice when it mellows. I would not buy it at full price, but on sale it is worth it for every now and then.

I used the tangerine scent of this dish soap and really liked it. The scent was really nice and the soap was not harsh and drying on hands. It was just as effective as any normal dish soap, except that it is made from natural ingredients. The only difference I noticed was that the bubble did not last that long, but that is no big deal. I have bought it a few times since trying it, and would recommend it. -

These are all natural cotton socks (they call them booties, but they are socks) to put on over foot cream. I use them at night after lathering on my favourite cream (burt's bees coconut foot cream, that is). I like that they are lower cut than your average sock making them easier to get on when your feet are all gooey with cream. They are the perfect size and they dry really fast too.... I wash them out by hand and leave them to air dry during the day. -

Foxy is a great Canadian brand!

I got the "earth meets sky" design (the blue one with leaves) of this water bottle, and I really love it. When I saw it on their website the leaves look greenish brown, but they are more like all brown in reality.
This water bottle is 25.36 fluid oz. (750 ml) size with a ring-top screw cap. The size is great because it does hold so much, but can be a bit annoying when on the go. I like that you can fill it at night and refrigerate it and have it ready for the next day. The paint is durable (no chips yet and I use it steady) and not dents (I can't even count how many times it has been dropped or banged) Also, while the screw top does not leak what so ever, it gurgles little drops when you screw the top back on and it can sometimes be a bit annoying.
All in all I would recommend and would buy again since they are far less expensive than other brands.

I got this by mail through my book club (odd place to get it i know.) I mainly wanted it for facial hair ( I have black hair and am always paranoid that I am developing a mustache)
I was so excited to try it when I got it... after sticking the "smooth away pads" onto the pink holders I was ready to go. I tried it on my arm first and it worked pretty well. Next I gave it a go on my mustache (which is very minimal, but yes there is some hair) and it didn't really do much. I finally got it to remove most of what was there, but it took two pads to get the job done, which is pathetic considering I had little to no hair to remove.
An hour or so later my upper lip hurt terribly, and had puffed up and was bright red. It was so painful, I couldn't believe it. I thought maybe it was my own fault (for rubbing too hard?) so like a dummy I tried it again a few weeks later with a more gentle touch and the exact same thing happened. I should have returned it for my money back, because it was junk. Do not waste your money on it.
