Pure Vision Zero Shiraz has that beautifully deep burgundy shiraz shade and a very complex flavour profile. It really reminds me of a very bold red wine. The scent and flavours are of dark plums and berries, and has a tartness to it. Even though it has a juicy flavour, it does not feel like just grape juice in the mouth. It has the acidity of wine and can easily replace any regular shiraz in my collection. I’m really impressed by this non-alcoholic red wine!

I’ve always been a fan of Riesling, so I was really excited to try a dealcoholized version. The Giesen 0% Riesling is great because it is very reminiscent of the real product and doesn’t just taste like plain old grape juice. It has a bright, clear color and the glass bottle packaging is very sleek. The scent does actually smell like Riesling, sweet and fragrant. I really enjoyed how crisp and light the flavour is. It very easily replaces an alcoholic version and thus will allow just about anyone to enjoy a glass!

After the chaos of bedtime with a newborn, there's nothing I need more than a moment of quiet escape. The Yankee Candle in "Pink Sands" has a scent of refreshing citrus notes with sweet florals. It reminds me of being on a peaceful, breezy beach which gives me a sense of calm. I think it’s the perfect candle to help you feel like you’re on a tropical escape. The glass jar that the candle comes in, is also very aesthetic and complements my home decor well. I have tried using this candle with my wax warmer too and it works great for occasions where I want a flameless burn. I have noted that the candle burns slowly and evenly meaning that it will last me a long time. Love it. -

I love finding new options for a reliable, everyday sunscreen that doesn't irritate my sensitive skin. The Blue Lizard Mineral Sunscreen Sensitive SPF50 is a win for me because it creates a physical barrier against the sun's rays, rather than relying on chemical filters. The SPF 50 gives a high level of protection which is my preference for daily sun exposure. I also love the texture and finish. Unlike many mineral sunscreens that leave a noticeable white cast, the Blue Lizard formula disappears into my skin. The infusion of aloe is also a plus. It feels soothing on my skin, more like a lotion and less like a layer of sunscreen. It also has a pleasant scent. This sunscreen is genuinely great for everyday use for the whole family.

If you have a home bar or just like mixing up cocktails at home, then this one is for you! My husband got his hands on the Spirits with Smoke Old Fashioned Kit for Father’s Day and was so excited to use it! He used it to make his favourite cocktail which is a negroni, except with a wonderful smoky twist. The laser-engraved wooden case looks and feels so premium and is definitely something you'd want to display in your home bar. When you open the box, everything is so neatly organized and well-presented. Everything inside feels incredibly high quality. What makes this kit unique, is using a kitchen torch to light different flavours of wood to create smoke. By capturing and infusing the aromatic smoke into a glass, it gives your cocktails a truly unique and enjoyable twist to classic drinks. I think that the delicious results make this kit a worthwhile investment for anyone who appreciates a well-crafted cocktail.

Catelli Protein+ Spaghetti cooks up nicely, keeping the perfect al dente texture. It twirls nicely on the fork and doesn’t fall apart, or become mushy. It’s great because the extra added protein provides nutritional benefits that help create a more filling and balanced meal. It works perfectly in a variety of sauces from simple olive oil and garlic to rich Bolognese. It is really versatile and convenient for healthy weeknight dinners. Great product.

Catelli Protein+ Penne pasta has that well-loved penne shape that is perfect for use in all sorts of sauces like meat sauces and cream-based sauces. It has a textured surface and hollow interior that holds on to the sauce nicely. The protein boost lets me make more satisfying and nutritionally dense dishes daily. It’s hard to notice that it's not traditional pasta. It cooks to a perfect al dente texture, and does not get soft or clumpy. Great product.

Catelli Protein+ Elbows pasta has a classic elbow shape that is versatile. My recipe preference for this shape is mac and cheese and pasta salad. It holds sauces nicely. What makes this pasta superior however, is the high protein content. It cooks up with that perfect al dente bite and is never mushy. I am personally not able to taste the difference with the extra protein. This is important for making meals that do not compromise on taste. Great product.

I recently tried out the GLŌWFIX Plump Lip Maximizer in Sheer Pink by IDC, and my first impression has been genuinely surprising! It comes with a beautifully shaped doe foot applicator that holds just enough product for a single pass. From the moment it touches your lips, you experience a tingling yet comfortable sensation, which tells me that the active plumping ingredients are working. My lips felt fuller and smoother, and I love the natural-looking sheer pink shade. I also appreciate that it is made in Canada. If you’re looking for a new trendy lip plumper give this one a shot!
