First thing I noticed about this product is the smell...it smells very clean and fresh, a nice citrus aroma. The beads seem less abrasive than some other scrubs, I can't use it more than twice a week...I'm not sure if it's the product, or just the idea of exfoliation, but if I use it too often, my skin seems to break out. 2 seems to be my magic nu,her for facial exfoliation. It creams up nicely, and does leave your skin feeling very fresh and clean. A good less expensive alternative to some higher priced, nut no more effective brands. -

Last year, on seeing the price of Q tips, I decided to go with the dollar store choice, because I thought how different can a cotton swab be? Well, as it turns out, there was a huge difference. The dollar store variety had far less cotton firstly. Also, the strength of the wand was significantly weaker, and bent quite easily , especially if using it for ear care. I had to laugh at myself...a box will last a year probably, and I was trying to save a few dollars. Overthinking I guess. I did buy Q tips and use the cheaply kind for manicure mistakes, etc...but Q tips will be my brand for the future...even if does cost an extra .000006 cents per use...lol. -

Because I know that olive oil is the healthier choice, I decided to try Hellmans olive oil mayonnaise. I especially liked the bottle, which makes it a lot less messy than sticking the knife into a bottle, and getting your knuckles full of mayo as it hits the bottom quarter. I noticed no difference in taste from the regular version, either in sandwiches, or as a dressing for potato and macaroni salads. Being the healthier option, we have continued to use this as long as the price was the same. -

I bought decaffeinated by accident, and decided to use it for homemade iced tea. I noticed absolutely no difference between regular tea and this decaf, in terms of taste. It has worked out great, as I was having sleep problems and trying to reduce by caffeine intake. I make Sun tea...I put 10 bags into a pitcher, fill with water, and let sit in the sun for a few hours. I remove the tea bags and put it in the fridge. Serve over ice with fresh lemon ( and sugar if you like). I will absolutely be buying these instead of regular tea bags for iced tea from now on. -

In my quest for weight loss, I started paying more attention to every product. Oil was always a commodity, so I bought whatever was on sale when I needed it. I bought this about 6 months ago and was quite impressed by the tasteless oil...it performed very well without adding any oily taste or heaviness. I love that it is cholesterol free, and a vegetarian choice for my vegetarian friends. -

I didn't even know such a product existed, until I found it in the clearance section of my Shoppers Drug Mart. As I don't have any young children, and it is found with baby supplies, I'd not have found it. Because it was reduced to 1.99 for a large tub, I picked it up. I found no difference in performance...I use it on my feet after a shower (of course I cover my feet with socks for safety.). I think it is more pure than regular Vaseline, so all things being equal it is the better choice for everyone. -
Karma Wellness Water (Sharper Thinking)

I was drawn to the bottle, as it is clear water with the vitamins and flavour in the cap. You push on the cap to release both, shake, and remove lid to drink. This one is flavoured orange mango. It tastes great, and is very easy to drink the 532 ml. Which is a challenge for me with regular water. it is packed with vita,ins, more than the RDA in vitamins D E B6 and B12. The idea is that vitamins lose their potency when sitting in water for too long and more effective because they hit the water just before drinking. Only downside is that it contains stevia, which you can taste a tiny bit, but much better than artificial sweeteners. There are other flavours, with unique vitamin combinations for other reasons...staying awake, boosting immunity, pre workout, and they are all great. -

What a nice yummy surprise. I was reluctant to try a salsa with fruit, as I like a tomato salsa with some spice to it. I was very pleasantly surprised at how it is a nice combination of sweet and has a little zing to it. It is quite a chunky salsa, which I love as it doesn't seem to fall off the chip easily, and gives a nice taste to tortillas. It has diced tomatoes, mango, onions in a thick saucy salsa. Definitely a healthier snack when paired with my other new find..Tostito blue corn chips. -

My son bought me these, and I wa snot overly excited to try them, but once I did I was very impressed. They have a sweetness to them that I don't taste in regular tortilla chips as well as a lighter texture. I love them with mango salsa, also by Tostitos. They are all natural, nothing funny in the ingredient list, just corn and sea salt, and have no preservatives. What I really like about them is that they satisfy a salty or sweet craving, and at least I know I am putting something good into my body. -

I received a hand and foot treatment in my most recent Fab Fit Fun box. They are promoted as gloves and socks treatments. They have a lovely fragrance. Basically what it is, is a piece of plastic, shaped as either gloves or socks, with some lotion inside. The idea is to put them on, and leave on for a minimum of 20 minutes. It can get quite mess, especially on the feet, as the "sock" is quite large. It does make your hands and feet soft, but nothing that couldn't be accomplished by using medical gloves, slathering your hands, and leaving them on. According to the pamphlet from FFF, the value is $9.98 for each set..one hands, one feet. While it was indeed a nice treat, and worked, it just seems like a lot of money, for something I can simulate at home with my own lotion. -
