I love this store and every time I go in, I say no to the bag they offer to carry around your items, and end up needing the bag because I can't carry any more items, hands and arms are full. I usually shop at the Oshawa location, but decided to review the store in general as I have always had a pleasant experience in other locations and don't find they differ at all. Staff are always pleasant and make contact with you as soon as you enter to see if you need assistance.
They care a wide variety if highly scented products from lotions, hand soaps, fragrance mists, candles, facial products... to name a few. Every single product I have purchased I have loved, I like that I can test out each item in the store so I know exactly what I am buying. They always have deals, yesterday I was in and bought a bunch of hand soaps for $3 each, 5 small hand sanitizers for $10, and also bought 3 Lotions which were also some sort of buy 2 get 1 free. Oh and this store is perfect for gift giving as they often have premade gift sets, all my gal pals love to receive them (including myself) for special occasions. The one thing I like about this company is that their products pretty much stay the same, however they constantly are changing the scents according to the season and every year there is brand new scents are released.
I am a body lotion and fragrance addict, so this store is heaven to me!

Bath & Body Works Kitchen Lemon Gentle Foaming Hand Soap

I am all about highly scented everything and both the regular hand soap and the foaming soaps do not disappoint. I don't think I've come across a scent that I really dislike, I have a select few I don't care for but they don't smell awful compared to other cheaper soaps I have tried in the past.
I prefer the foam over the gel hand soap only because I feel I get more out of the bottle, it just lasts longer for me. The foam lathers really well, hydrants my hands and you only need one pump plus it rinses off with ease.
Yesterday Bath and Body had a sale on all their hand soaps, I believe they were $3.00 each so I stocked up and bought 8 of them. My favorite scent out of the bunch I bought is "You're Magical" - Unicorn Milkshake. It smells so darn good with passion fruit and a hint of vanilla.
I love all Bath and Body Works products, their packaging is always cute and fun and I find their products are excellent quality!

This was such a fun book to read, I laughed out loud at certain parts of the book. I found the book a quick and an easy read, I had a hard time putting it down at night, it would be the perfect book to take on vacation and read at the beach. The author Kwan did an amazing job of portraying the large number of characters, whom I fell in love with and because of that I found it easy to keep track of who is who. I just found out that this is one in a series, super excited to read the others. -

I have gotten the best results with this while using Nivea's night cream and day cream along with the Q-10 Pearl Serum under neath the cream. It's my 2x per day facial regime.
I didn't notice immediate results in the wrinke area, it took a couple of weeks of dabbing this under my eyes to see the firmness. No, it didn't completely banish the fine lines under my eyes but it did, and continues to, firm the area and make them less noticeable, plus I haven't found any new ones forming. I did see almost immediate results with my dark circles though, after a couple of days I could tell it was fading them and I was starting to look like I was well rested and now you can't tell I once had such darkness under them.
A little goes a long way, you don't need very much as it dabs on easily and absorbs really well. You only need to use it sparingly and the tube will last a couple of months, so you get your monies worth.
I think most people would benefit from this eye cream, much to my dislike it's scent free and feels like a gentle cream in general, that even someone with sensitive skin could probably use it, and most likely benefit.

I love this stuff. The smell is so good, like a tropical paradise. I am completely satisfied with this dry shampoo, firstly I have dark brown hair and there is no white residue (make sure you shake the can first) and it does not feel sticky or tacky. My hair is really thick and I find this penetrates through the layers and literally absorbs up the oiliness with ease. Since my hair is thick I get a bit of volume but not a ton. I also have used this before bed and the results in the morning were the same, I just added a few sprays for added scent. Oh and back to the scent, it stays in my hair for the day, just like I had washed my hair that morning.
This is a fantastic product and among my top 3, all time favorite dry shampoo's. I bought another can today at WalMart for around $6.

I was shopping at WalMart today and bought 4 more of the HomeTrends regular sized bath towels and one more hand towel. I had bought some bath towels at Christmas because the color caught my eye and they were on sale. Since discovered we all really like them and it's time; I need to replace all of our bath towels, it's long over due.
I find these extremely soft and fluffy. They also absorb moisture really well. I don't find the color fades or that the cloth starts to fray, I have washed mine probably close to a dozen times since December and can honestly say they still look new, these are really good quality. I also think they are super affordable, pretty sure I only paid $8 per bath towel today regular priced.
I vouch for these towels, high quality and budget friendly.

I used to sign up for a monthly Scentsy Scent box and would receive a bar along with various surprise products each month. One month I received their liquid laundry detergent in the scent 'Just Breath'.
I didn't care for the detergent for a few reasons, one being the pump, which is exactly like a pump for lotion, I just could not get used to the pumping action into the washing machine, and that is just a personal preference of mine. Secondly, the bottle states that it is highly concentrated so you only need 2 pumps for say a small load, well 2 pumps wasn't enough because I didn't feel it cleaned the clothing the way it should, some of the dish cloths were still soiled and to touch, felt that they still had a sort of grime on them. Lastly, even though I don't care for the Just Breath scent, the clothes did not have any scent whatsoever on them. I was under the impression that they clothes would come out smelling like your favorite scentsy scent.
For those reasons and my personal preferences, I am not a fan and won't purchase any items from Scentsy's Laundry Care line.

I frequently purchase my work attire from here because a lot of the clothing is business casual and all of their items are acceptable for our casual days at work and their pricing is affordable. I usually try the pieces on in store, but if I am on my lunch break there isn't time, so a number of times I have had to exchange or return items, the staff have never given me any issues and I usually change sizes, or exchange for something else. Once I asked for a store credit. I have also had them order a pair of dress slacks from another store because they didn't have my size, and they were in within a week and they did not make me pre-pay.
I popped into Reitman's yesterday while out shopping with my sister. To our surprise, probably half the clothing items in the store were 20% off the lowest ticketed price, which was already around half off the original price. Plus all accessories had a deal where you buy one and get second at half price. I bought a cute mauve colored sweater, marked down at $19.99 (plus another 20% off) and a necklace and half priced sunglasses, the total was around $40 plus tax - what a bargain! My sister did really well and ended up buying 4 shirts, a skirt and some accessories!
I recommend this store and am looking forward to their spring/summer line to arrive.

This is now my favorite hot chocolate of all the hot chocolates I have drank in my entire life. I found this while out shopping on Monday at a local discount food store in Durham called Food for Less, it was .99 cents for a box of 10. I went back the next day and bought 4 more boxes, debating if I should go back again as I am wondering what the actual cost of a box really is.
It is dark, creamy and has mega chocolatey taste. I usually and a bit of milk, but because it's only 100 calories and 2 grams of sugar per packet, I could add cream or whipped cream without feeling guilty.
If you happen to come across this, buy a box, you won't be disappointed, I promise.

It was suggested to me years ago to drink Mint Tea after I ate dinner to help with digestion and mild discomfort I was experiencing, I tried it, liked the warm minty taste, but never found that it aided my symptoms. Regardless I became a mint tea lover.
Tazo's Refreshing Mint tea is one of a couple of boxes I bought late last fall when I placed an order from well.ca and thought I would try them out. I am glad that I did, I love both kinds I bought.
This tea peppermint tea is one of my top favorite's out of all mint tea, it's stronger and more flavorful with the added spearmint. I leave the bag in while I sip away, I find it adds to the intensity. Sometimes I drink it super hot, but also discovered it's pretty good cold as well. I wouldn't add milk or creamer to it, it would definitely take away from the flavor. I don't think I taste the Tarragon, I don't know that I actually know what it taste like, but I don't find this tea tastes odd at all, so the Tarragon must be super mild (hence the pinch) - and the tea is cloudy once fully steeped so maybe because of the added spice.
Lastly, yes, if you like bold peppermint tea, I recommend this refreshing, mega minty, caffeine free herbal tea.
