I used this on damp skin just after my shower. It goes on smoothly and absorbs quickly. What I really like about it is that it gives me a bit of a cool sensation for a bit so I'm looking forward to using it during the summer with the fan on. My skin does feel more smooth. -

I have dry sensitive skin. I purchased this on a whim because of it's price.
The cleanser is a runny creamy looking texture. I prefer cleansers that don't seem completely watered down.
It did not remove all my makeup and left my skin super dry after. I ended up combining it with a body scrub and used it as one.
It's too harsh for my sensitive and dry skin.

This printer was a "gift" when I bought my laptop many years ago. At the time it worked wonders but has sadly slept on my desk for a while. I've purchased all new ink cartridges and eagerly got started in the process of printing off some coupons. Problem is, the printer is not printing anymore. I've cleaned the nozzle heads, tried every fix it suggested via the internet and have come to the conclusion that it probably just needs to have a nap. It is almost 2am in the morning.
Pros:
It was free to me!
Scanning is ok
Cons:
Ink does NOT last long
Replacement cartridges cost a fair amount for this aged machine.
You CANNOT print without having all the cartridges in the printer. So let's say you run out of magenta ink. You need to have a new magenta ink cartridge in even if you only want to print black and white. I thought I could get away with having empty cartridges or no cartridges at all other than the black one but the printer is refusing to move.
It's not worth the hassle and thankfully the only money I've really put into it is paper and ink cartridges. Even then, a black cartridge runs around 20 dollars Canadian and the colour multi-pack us around 40 before tax. Not really saving any money.

I've been craving butter chicken for a while and have tried many packages and jars. I came across two pouches for five dollars and thought to give it a go. It's an easy open two serving pouch. There were no instructions so no extra ingredients were needed. I opened one of the packages and poured away. I noticed right away how sweet smelling it was. Sure enough, third ingredient listed was sugar. It's way too sweet. The sauce doesn't taste like butter chicken but more of a sweetened Ragu sauce. It's got a bit of a kick but nothing overly spicey.
It will do in a pinch but I won't be buying it again.

Apparently I'm a bit of a Gingerale snob. If I'm going to treat myself to one, it has to be Canada Dry. No other brands do it for me. It's my go to comfort drink when I'm sick or feeling blue. I will add lemon to it or even chunks of ginger.
It's just that damn good! I'll even drink it flat if I gets to that point. My friend introduced me to a drink called Russian Mule (vodka, lemon or lime, Gingerale). Oh dear Lord...very dangerous and I have to remind myself not to inhale the drink like I normally do.
Screw diamonds and flowers. Get me some Canada Dry and you've captured my heart!

I love this vinegar so much! Oddly I don't use it for cooking but for cleaning! I love the smell as us but if you're looking to spice things up a little, take the rinds of used lemons and place them in a big mason jar. Fill the jar with rinds and then cover with vinegar. Let sit for 2-3 weeks and shake it once in a while. Once I'm ready for it, I strain it into a spray bottle. Voila! Awesome lemon cleaning spray! I use it to clean everything. -

Bought this on a whim and while it was on sale.
Never again.....the smell is so overbearing thst it made me sick. If you're sensitive to smells, stay far away from these little dudes. I've tried three different areas in the toilet bowl to see whether or not it cleans better in certain spots. It didn't clean well in any of the spots. Still got the lovely ring around the bowl.
Sticking with baking soda and vinegar from now on.

I grew up with Joico products and vividly recall my mom always had a purple shampoo of some sort. I purchased the shampoo and conditioner and set forth my own trials!
I adore the shampoo. In order for them to really shine, you need to leave it in your hair for the recommended time. I usually leave the conditioner in longer. My hair feels smooth and soft after. I do my own roots and can definitely say my hair is colour treated with the usual dry and brittle feel a few days after colouring. Using this shampoo and conditioner makes my blonde hair pop and tones down the brass.
It's my forever shampoo!

It's been years since I've used the vapor rub but it was a key staple in our household growing up. I've managed to catch a bad cold and decided to give it a try. The first thing I noticed was that the jar is a lot smaller than what I remember. Maybe it was just the size available at the time? But it's a 50g jar.
Upon first sniff, it seems different....not as strong. I've been lathering my chest and shoulders in it. The product absorbs well enough, doesn't remain greasy, and leaves a cool sensation.
I'm not wild about this product. I'll use up what I have but I won't be buying it in the future.
