I find Crest 3D white toothpaste and polish to be far more effective. I use whitestrips once a year, and find that this regiment keeps my teeth white (without needing sunglasses to look at them), at a lower cost than a professional whitening.

I find that Head & Shoulders works best for me when I don't use it every day. When I use it in rotation with other shampoos is when I find it controls the dandruff the best.
I don't have chronic dandruff, but in the winter, I tend to have a dry, itchy scalp. This helps a ton.
My main complaint with the shampoo is the smell. I can't stand the smell of dandruff shampoos, so I would generally just avoid black shirts, keep my hair light and blowdry it, to blow the dandruff away before I leave my home.

Vim Cream Cleaner in Lemon Scent

Vim is the only product I have found that will clean my endlessly frustrating flat-stop stove.
The granules in it help get burned rings off of the stove top, and it doesn't smell overly harsh, nor does it leave abrasions on the stove.
I also love it for the washroom, and for washing the soles of some shoes.
I only ever use the original, but want to branch out and try the different scents.
The price point is well worth it - it's available at Dollarama!

NIVEA Essential Lip Balm
this is very nice. It does not have that medicated flavor or burning feeling other chapstick does.

However, when I am feeling dry, or have just shaved my legs, Aveeno feels THE BEST.
I used to use whatever was on sale, and happened to receive a free sample of Aveeno through a campaign I was part of. It has a nice mild, natural scent, and feels great even a day or two after application, You truly can still feel the difference.

Special K Popcorn Chips
I had the popcorn flavour and thought they were vile. If you are counting calories, these are not worth any. Just save up, or run around the block a few extra times and eat somethign else. Gross.

Simply Orange Juice
I used to be a Tropicana girl, but the price point on this has converted me. I love the handled jugs - I just find them so much nicer to carry from the grocery store, and this is often on sale at Metro. I love it!

I love my DS. This may sound weird, but my brain feels better when I play a game of Mario or something on my DS rather than Candy Crush or Crossy Road on my phone.
I find, however, if I get caught up for too long, my neck starts to hurt. I try to be mindful of how long i've been playing and remember to stretch.

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

I picked these up for free in my condo building's library after watching the first two movies. I wasn't expecting much, as I didn't love the first movie, and thought the second was fine, but not mind-blowing.
To my surprise, I couldn't put these books down. They made me like the characters so much more than the movies, and understand their relationships better.
If you are at all a fan of the movies, pick these up to enrich your understanding. They are an easy read, and highly entertaining.
I loved them.

I love O.B. tampons.
I remember being offered one from a work colleague about 7 years ago, and being dumbfounded and grossed out by the lack of applicator.
fast forward six years to a free sample box I received. I will NEVER go back to applicators. It takes some getting used to, and some finesse, but I love how compact these little guys are. I can carry them in my clutch without giving up prime real estate.
I also like the idea of less waste. And have you ever had one of those tampons in the bottom of your purse where the applicator gets jammed, or bent? The WORST!
I love, love, love these (after six years of thinking I hated them). Keep with it, ladies, it is worth it in the end.
