I love Dove products generally so I was really happy to receive this through the product review club. It is definitely moisturizing and makes your skin feel really soft. It only lathers if you use it with a loofa of some kind but either way it leaves your skin feeling baby soft. I have very sensitive skin and it doesn't irritate it at all! It doesn't leave my skin feeling dry or stretched like some body washes do. I'm sure this will have even better results in the winter when my skin is dry and needs a little extra TLC.
In terms of scent, it really doesn't smell like anything other than soap so if you find that body washes that have perfume or scent in them irritate you, this would probably be a good choice for you as it doesn't have any of that.
Another quality product from Dove that I will recommend to other people and keep using.

Always Flexi-Style Liners

One word for these: PERFECT. I've never really found a panty liner that was comfortable - until now. I've never seen a panty liner so thin. You can't see it through tights, it doubles as a panty liner for thongs and the material it is made of is soft so it doesn't irritate. Best of all, they do not move. At all. Whatever adhesive they use on them works wonders, you can rest assured that where you stick it, it stays.
I'm impressed and am definitely going to buy these when the pack I received runs out. Two thumbs up to Always for creating a panty liner that no one else has been able to come close to making!

I have always been a Kotex/Tampax girl, but gave the Always Infinity a try! I must say, these pads were amazing. The way they are made really help let the area breathe and they don't irritate. They are very very thin, so you barely notice your even wearing a pad. I could wear this pad overnight without a problem and without any leakage whatsoever. Honestly, you forget that you're wearing a pad which is a major bonus.
Overall, very impressed with this product and I'd probably purchase them again, especially if they came out with a version of the infinity pad without wings. (Maybe it is out there and I haven't noticed it yet)

This was the last flavour I tried, as I thought it would be my favourite.
It was good, but I was a bit disappointed by the fact it didn't really taste like cheesecake. That said, I did like the taste of the ice cream and enjoyed it. I'm just not sure I would have named it cheesecake and I think those who are expecting the ice cream to have a strong cheesecake taste you won't find it to be obviously cheesecake flavoured. That said, I still liked it and the blend of what they put together. Like the other flavours it was smooth, creamy and rich which is exactly what is missing from most ice creams.
Much like the other flavours, this melted quickly so finish eat up otherwise you'll have a pool of ice cream in your dish!
I don't think you can really go wrong with any of the flavours in this line of Breyer's products, they did a great job!

I wasn't sure how I'd feel about this flavour as I find most banana flavoured foods (other than bananas) end up tasting like the banana flavoured penicillin I took as a kid.
That is why I am happy to say that I really enjoyed this flavour. It tastes exactly like a Banana Cream Pie except in ice cream form which makes it so much better. It was really smooth and full of flavour. To make it even better, give yourself one scoop of the Dark Chocolate Velvet and one scoop of the Banana Cream Pie and you're in heaven and eat them together. The mix of the banana and chocolate is amazing. I think this would also go well with chocolate cake.
Like the other flavours, I found that this one also melted at a more rapid pace than other ice creams.

I've always been a fan of Breyers ice Cream so when I had the chance to review this product, I couldn't have been happier!
Chocolate is one of my favourite ice cream flavours and this Dark Chocolate Velvet didn't disappoint! It was smooth, creamy, and very rich. Absolutely amazing. It is one of the best chocolate ice creams I've ever tried. Even if you don't like dark chocolate, you'll like this ice cream. I wouldn't say that it tastes like dark chocolate but, it is just a more intense chocolate taste than you normally get from chocolate ice cream. I would definitely recommend this if you're wanting to treat yourself or try something new.
The one and only thing I didn't like was that I found it melted a lot quicker than other ice creams. So that just means you need to eat it a little faster :)
The cheapest I saw this ice cream for was $6.99 and that was at No Frills, so unless this ice cream was on sale, i probably would only purchase it for special events or if I was having people over for dinner because it's on the pricey side but well worth treating yourself to every once in awhile.

I also love these products. I learned about them originally from a friend who had a few different scents of the hand washes in her home. My fav is also the lavender scent. They are good for the environment, moisturize and they smell great.
The household products are also great, specifically the dish soap. It keeps your hands soft while doing a fabulous job of cleaning dishes! It also comes in all he same scents as the hand soaps!

I'm surprised to see that there are no reviews on the Bier Markt. I went there last week and had a great time. We drank beer and tried the food. Their Beer menu is extensive and everyone can find something they like or want to try as they have many european beers. We also ordered appetizers for the table and though they were on the expensive side they were worth every penny and tasted great. It's a fabulous place to get together with friends for a drink! They have a location on the Esplanade and on King St. W. -

This is a small restaurant in Ottawa's Little Italy on Preston St. The price I've put above was for a shared appetizer, main course and a shared 1/2 litre of wine. The food is worth every penny. It is a small place so if you go on a weekend you should probably make a reservation. The service is great and the ambience is very warm and relaxing. From the outside the place doesn't look like much but once you've been you'll know what I'm talking about. I definitely highly recommend this place if you're willing to spend a bit of money! -

If you have dry skin, don't use this product. On the other hand, if you have any other skin type I would highly recommend this! I mix it with moisturizer and top it off with a bronzer. It is a soft powder creme makeup and therefore applies much like a powder does which can be somewhat cake like or drying. The thing I love about this foundation is that it holds blush, bronzer or finishing powder really well. Also, if you apply a bit to your eye lids before you apply eye shadow, you'll find your makeup doesn't move or fade for hours. That is a big thing for me and not all foundations can hold my eye shadow. I give this two big thumbs up! -
