The Face Shop's Vegan Cleansing Duo is available at Trade Secrets Canada. I’ve been using the pair as a double cleanse for my nightly makeup removal routine. This two-step system is simple to use. The Vegan Light Cleansing Oil melts away all of my lipstick, mascara and foundation without having to scrub my face. Following up with the Vegan Foaming Cleanser, it washes off all of the remaining residue. The vegan formulation is a major plus. Great combo of products.

I have a new baby and I don’t always have time for a full-scale cooking session so this rice box can be a lifesaver on some days. It’s so convenient and easy to prepare. All you need is a fork and some hot water, and in about five minutes, you have a delicious stand-alone meal ready to go. I even found myself grabbing for it as a side dish fairly frequently. The seasoning of the Thai flavour is perfect. The texture of the rice when cooked is so fluffy but not mushy. Delicious.

I drink a fair bit of coffee and tea and I’m always trying out products to help with stains on my teeth. I was glad to try this mouthwash because of how easy it was to add to my daily routine. Using strips or other whitening products just seem like a hassle compared to this rinse. I also like that it is peroxide free because my teeth are already so sensitive with having braces on, and this avoids that feeling. The minty flavour on this one is also very mild, so I don’t feel like my mouth is on fire and I can actually swish for the full 2 minutes. I would say that I can indeed tell a subtle difference as it by no means compares to professional whitening procedures, but for something so low-effort that I can use everyday, I think it’s an easy and affordable fix for a common problem.

Reducing my household waste is always on my agenda. Swapping out my plastic detergent jug for these sheets was a great idea. First off, the convenience is awesome. These sheets take up zero space and are pre-measured, and I like that they come in a half size for small loads to prevent wastage. My clothes come out clean and fresh, and I've noticed that it is very gentle. Plus, I love that Tru Earth is a Canadian company.

Hatch’s Cardamom Rose Oat Latte is made right here in Canada. The mini can is the perfect size for a single serving and is great for throwing in a bag for work or a day out. The size and design on the can are so cute. The drink itself does not disappoint. The flavours are so well-balanced, and comprises of spicy cardamom, delicate rose, and creamy oat milk. It's not too sweet and tastes delicious chilled but can also be served warmed up. It’s the perfect pick-me-up for those times I want something different than my usual cold brew.

Seagram's V.O. is a classic Canadian blended whisky. It has a light and somewhat sweet flavour, but is very smooth to drink. I think it’s an excellent choice for mixing in cocktails like an Old Fashioned, or other drinks with fruity profiles. It's a reliable option that can be used for a variety of drinks.

Fireball Cinnamon Whisky is a tried-and-true staple in my liquor cabinet. This Canadian whisky-based liqueur has flavours of intense but sweet cinnamon, that gives a fiery sensation in your mouth and throat when enjoyed straight. However, in my home it is best enjoyed in a variety of mixed drinks and cocktails. Definitely one to try if you’re a fan of cinnamon.

Dr. McGillicuddy's Intense Peach is a great liqueur. I used it in a cocktail and was pleasantly surprised at how delicious it was. Right out the bottle you get that sweet peachy smell. The flavour is clean and juicy. There is no harsh bitterness which makes it perfect for mixing. I found that when using it, I don’t usually need to add any other sweetening agent to my drinks. Also love that it is made locally, in Canada.

The Sir James 101 Pink Gin and Tonic is the perfect non-alcoholic alternative to its alcoholic counterpart. The beautiful pink colour is very appealing visually and made me want to enjoy it more. It does give the familiar scent of a quality gin and tonic. Even though it is non-alcoholic, the bottle and labelling still makes me feel fancy when drinking it. It has fruity notes such as raspberry and juniper, and has the perfect amount of fizziness to replicate a typical gin and tonic. It’s the perfect, easy, non-alcoholic ready-to-drink cocktail.
