I'm so glad Costco carries this online, although if I time it right I can usually just pick up a large container when they have the Store Event at the local warehouse. It works great and it's low scent. A friend thought the "gluten-free" label was a joke or a gimmick but I explained to her that people with Celiac disease can have contact dermatitis from anything containing wheat. I know someone who has to be careful about which shampoo she buys because many contain wheat derivatives as thickening agents and it really irritates her scalp. Even though I don't personally have to worry about gluten, I like the fact that Nellie's doesn't contain harsh chemicals and synthetic fragrance (or even gluten!). And powder is better anyway - it's lightweight, better for the environment...why ship all that water around the planet? I also like the fact that Nellie's is constantly improving - they've recently switched up their dryer balls. I just bought some and will review them soon. -

I had wanted to try this shampoo for a while because I'd used their hand soap and liked it, so when I saw it at Costco recently I immediately purchased it. I'm usually very picky about shampoo - it has to have good ingredients and have a low, natural scent before I'll even consider buying it. I couldn't open the cap to check the scent but I decided to try it anyway because of Costco's excellent hassle-free return policy. I really like the shampoo - it's gentle on my hair, and the scent doesn't bother me. I'll be buying it again and will probably buy a smaller bottle for the guest bathroom, too. -
Toms Toothpaste (Fluoride Free)

This is the toothpaste I've been using for a while now, and I really like it. Sometimes I get it in Fennel flavour, Mint, or Spearmint. I'm not a fan of fluoride so this is a great option for me, and although I've tried other fluoride-free toothpaste I seem to always come back to this one. My son uses their kid's toothpaste in Silly Strawberry flavour. We always get great checkups at the dentist (and we don't tell them about our unfluoridated habit since dental professionals seem to get very emotional about this sort of thing). If I slip up and they lecture me I'll just "brush it off" (insert groan here). All puns aside, this is definitely my favourite toothpaste. It's a bit expensive so I stock up when it goes on sale. -

These little yogurt drinks are a pretty good alternative to traditional snack-sized yogurt. I like the flavours and texture, although I wish they were lower in sugar - or made with stevia or honey. Since my husband and son also drink them, it's a... +
These little yogurt drinks are a pretty good alternative to traditional snack-sized yogurt. I like the flavours and texture, although I wish they were lower in sugar - or made with stevia or honey. Since my husband and son also drink them, it's a product I don't mind buying a larger quantity of and we usually get them at Costco to get the best price. -
Stash Tea Apple Cinnamon

This is a great tea for at night or whenever you feel like tea but want herbal tea rather than caffeinated. I like many of the flavours by Stash, especially Double Bergamot Earl Grey, Earl Grey Decaf, Licorice, Green Tea Decaf. I look for them on sale and try to stock up, and love the fact that they're made with natural ingredients. -
Ferrero Rocher
These things are really addictive! I wish they were healthy so I wouldn't feel guilty eating them, since it's nearly impossible to eat only one. Maybe they could add some low-dose vitamins - if they do, I'd remember to take one (or more) every day!... +
These things are really addictive! I wish they were healthy so I wouldn't feel guilty eating them, since it's nearly impossible to eat only one. Maybe they could add some low-dose vitamins - if they do, I'd remember to take one (or more) every day! They have Vitamin Water, why not Vitamin Chocolate?? -

I like this mascara because it's buildable, and Lancôme is a brand name I know and trust. I'm still looking for the perfect mascara - one that does all this, but would also be waterproof yet easy to remove, made with natural ingredients, and enhances eyelash growth! Until that day, this is a pretty good stand-by. Just wish it was cheaper! -
