The best part is my kids inhale them and I don't have to worry about them being too greasy like fast food fries are. Win - win for this momma! They are actually on the menu for tonight. :-) -

I have rosacea so I am skeptical of new creams but I am always willing to try new ones in hopes that they work for me. I noticed how lovely the scent of it is as soon as I put it on. My daughter even commented on how good I smelled! I have only gotten it recently (I received it for free to review) so I cannot comment on long term effects but I do feel that my skin almost glows and feels softer after I put it on and I like it enough to continue using it in hopes that the dark patches on my face will fade. It also does not irritate my rosacea so I am happy about that. I actually have even been putting a small amount in the back of my hands as I am noticing dark spots forming there as well. I'll review again in a month or so. -

I have rosacea so I am sceptical of creams but am up to trying new things at least once. I only received my sample recently so I can't say the long term effects as of yet. I did notice after my first application that I liked how my face felt. It was smoother and it didn't irritate my rosacea at all. I also like the faint, pleasant scent that it has. My 6 year old daughter also loves the smell of my skin after I put it on. I am looking forward to continuing using the cream and seeing the long term effects! -

I love IKEA! I am always looking for new and interesting ways to organize and am always inspired just by walking through the store, checking out displays. There are always fun and funky patterns and colours to choose from, no matter what you buy. For the most part their prices are very reasonable and their quality is decent. I do find that I'm not a fan of their lights. Not because they don't look great because they have some awesome light designs but because it is often difficult to find bulbs for them. I don't like HAVING to go back to IKEA every time a bulb burns out!
I love that my kids can play in the IKEA playroom and my husband and I have an entire hour to ourself to browse at our leisure. As a family, we also love the IKEA restaurant. There is always something delicious for everyone and the prices are super inexpensive.

I use it daily, winter & summer, as I love that is gives my skin SPF protection and it is light enough to use even with my rosacea. It never clogs my pores and I don't find it to be oily/greasy at all. During the winter I find that I do need a bit more as my skin is extra dry. It is fairly easy to find on sale if you keep your eyes open so that is also a bonus. -

I have been eating Kellogg's Raisin Bran since I was a kid. Even though I was perfectly capable of putting raisins in any of my other cereal choices, there was something special about it coming with them already in the box and Raisin Bran was often a 1st choice at breakfast. Now as an adult, I continue to enjoy Kellogg's Raisin Bran! -

I received the Godiva Assorted Truffles for Christmas this past year from my husband who knows I enjoy good chocolate. My favourite was the dark chocolate. It wasn't too bitter like I find many dark chocolate can be but a perfect chocolate flavour and creamy sweetness - that wasn't too sweet. The milk chocolate was also mouth-wateringly delicious. Sweeter than the dark, of course, but definitely a great quality of chocolate and not the sickening sweet, waxy texture that a lot of the lower grade chocolate can be. I also enjoyed the white chocolate truffle. While I don't necessarily consider white chocolate to be true chocolate, the Godiva white chocolate truffle had a creamy candy like flavour that I thoroughly enjoyed. All 3 truffle flavours melted in my mouth and left me wanting another. A lovely little treat that I totally deserve after a long day! ;) -

I generally get 1 - 2 cold sores a year. They are always on the same spot on my lip and thankfully don't get super huge but are big enough to be bothersome. Usually I just let it run it's course and maybe apply a topical ointment when it is in it's gross, crusty phase to try and soften it and stop it from cracking and bleeding.
Well, after being highly recommended by a friend, this time around I decided to try the Polysporin Cold Sore Healing Patch and see if it would help. I bought a pack for $16.99 and applied my 1st one the day after I started to feel the "tingle" in hopes that it would stop the cold sore altogether but, unfortunately, it still came. I found that they were a little bit tricky to apply at first because they stick so well - which I suppose it a good thing - so you have to make sure you get it in the right spot the 1st time or you could waste some. I was as careful as I could be, though I did waste 1 from the package, but once you got the hang of the application it was fairly easy.
The package says to reapply after 8 hours but I found that they would often stay on longer than that, depending on what food I ate or drank so I would apply after eating supper and most of the time it stayed on all night and often into the next day which was nice. Some reviews mentioned that they were painful to take off so I just moistened it with tap water and it came off very easily.
I really liked how I didn't have to be as careful about spreading cold sore germs to my husband or kids as the area was completely covered and how it stayed moist under the Polysporin Cold Sore Healing Patch so it never reached the crusty, cracking, bleeding stage. It didn't shorten the life-span of my cold sore but it made me feel much less self-conscious in public and it never hurt or bled once so in my books, it's a winner.
I will definitely buy Polysporin Cold Sore Healing Patch again for my next cold sore!
