These are so bad to have in the house, I can't eat just one - or two for that matter. They still have the oreo taste, but with crispy peanut butter cookie and inside is half chocolate and half peanut butter creamy centers. I feel it's a necessity to eat these with a glass of cold milk. Yay for Nabisco for creating a cookie with my two favorite flavors! -

This was the first product I've ever tried from L'Occitane and this hand cream started my love for this company. I love this cream because it's thick and rich. It's my go to hand cream in the winter, I can totally avoid dry cracked hands if it use this daily, it also hydrates my cuticles and I think it helps my nails grow as well. The scent is mild and pleasant. If you buy a tube you must buy the 'magic key', it's a cute little metal tool that you use to roll the tube to ensure you use every last drop of lotion.
A 150ml tube is $34 and it's worth every penny. I kind of have a standing order with my family, they know me well and buy me one for my birthday every year!

I love L'Occitane and find all of their products to be high quality and effective, this new facial mist is hit with me. First off, I love scented products and this mist is mild and pleasant with cherry blossom aromas, every-time I use it I vision the cherry blossom trees in the spring.
This mist is delicate and hydrating, I've used it before I apply my foundation, but use it more throughout the day to wake up my senses and give my face and neck some hydration. It absorbs instantly and leaves my face with a bit of a silky feel and it does not cause any issues with my makeup (foundation does not run). The cherry blossom scent lingers for a bit after it's sprayed. This stuff is great to give your skin a refreshing boost in the afternoon, I love it and will be buying it again.

This amazing smelling balm came in a L'Occitaine kit I bought. The smell is heavenly, full on orange blossom that sparks your senses. The limited edition balm itself is clear and comes in a .7oz colorful tin. You can use for many areas of the body, such skin, hair and lips. I use it on my lips, dry elbows and cuticles. It hydrates for hours and healed my chapped lips. The neat thing about this product is that 100% of the profits ($8 per tin) from the sale of this balm will finance NGOs projects to promote women’s leadership in Burkina Faso. I have already placed an order for 5 tins to add it the mother's day baskets and another one for myself. -

I received a small tube of this in a set that was on sale on L'Occitane's website, I had heard such good reviews and bought this set specifically because it contained this hand cream and hair care items.
I really like this cream, it didn't wow me, but it is effective and does it jobs. It's light and you only need a small amount and it keeps my hand soft for a couple of hours. It had a bit of a greasy feel that quickly dissipates once the cream has absorbed. It has a pleasant and mild nutty aroma that lingers for a bit.
I would buy it again, but only if it's on sale, $25- for the regular sized tube is a bit pricey, I would much rather pay full price for their regular hand lotion which I love.

I've been checking out their website for a couple of months, watching to see if anything sparked my interest, I knew I wanted to order their hand-cream but wanted to have a larger order for free shipping.
Last weekend I placed my order (Easter weekend) and was surprised it was shipped so quickly, I received my tracking label on Tuesday and received my order Thursday. It was packed with care, bubble wrapping the smaller breakable items and then large plastic buffer inside to prevent the items from moving around, thus making the whole order safely packaged.
I really like their website, it's beautiful, colorful and it is easy to navigate and search for specific products, all pricing is visible and detailed ingredients and benefits listed. They seem to always offer samples when placing your order, which was nice, I picked out a couple of facial items to try out. The overall experience of on-line shopping was pleasant and the items I have tried so far have lived up to my expectations, I have bookmarked their site and will definitely order from them again.

We love Thai and often order from their restaurant through Skip The Dishes. I realize it's not authentic Thai, but regardless their dishes still taste amazing and are always fresh. I always order the Pad Thai with either Tofu or Chicken for the protein and always get cashew's. My hubby orders the same, but he usually gets beef. It's made with tasteful Pad Thai sauce, a ton of chicken/Tofu, bean sprouts, and noodles; the dish itself is so big that I take the rest for lunch the next day. We also love their freshly made spring rolls, again they are large and contain fresh veggie, sprouts and cilantro.
Their prices are really good, they prepare our order quickly and when we get it, it's always hot and sometimes they throw in a couple of 'free' friend spring rolls or a couple of fried chicken wings.
As far as Thai food goes, I highly recommend this restaurant, it's our go to when we crave Thai.

I was placing a book order through the Chapters website and came across this odd 'scratch art'. I've never heard of it before, but apparently it's a thing that is gaining popularity.
I bought a couple, but the one I started with is the Nature themed book by Sterling. The book was around $14 and comes with 8-10 nature pictures, the paper is thick card stock and it includes a wooden stylus which you use to scratch the grey pattern on the picture. As you scratch away, the bold colors are revealed and when finished you have a beautiful picture. It is very relaxing and I like that it's instant gratification, I can see the progress I've made as I go and it's beautiful. This book is easier to color compared to another book I bought called "Cities", which is extremely detailed almost to the point that I am considering returning it as it's too advanced for my abilities.
A tip is to press lightly on the stylus, and pull towards you, it's easier and you have more control. If you go out of the lines, it's shows and also remove any bracelets or watches, as they can scratch the picture. I am in love and am going to order another book by the same company called 'Under the Sea, plus I brought my book into work today and I've got all my co-workers placing orders too.

We've used Skip-the-dishes about a dozen or so times, ordering anything from pizza, burgers to Thai. We have had great experience's with all the drivers and restaurants we've ordered from. I really like their APP, it's easy to sign up, navigate and search. Every place we have ordered from also has an easy to use menu, from adding side to special cooking requests etc. I also like that you can pay and tip online as I often don't carry much cash with me. Also the delivery fee is minimal.
The best part is that I can track our order from start to finish, there is a tracking map that shows me exactly when the driver picks up our order and it follows their vehicle, and as they get closer to our apartment we are ready to let them in, also double checking that our bunny is secured in his cage as he is known to bolt when the door opens.
This is a great APP, we will continue to place our orders through it and I've recommended it family and friends.

I really like to purchase the Sephora favorites kits, when I am in need of a new product, but am unsure which brand I want to buy or I simply want a few to try out and add to my collection.
I love this kit, it came with most of the items I had on my 'want' list and plus it came with a Fenty Beauty eye liner and mine had run out. All products are perfect, none are dried out or empty. I think the box as a whole is worth the dollar value as with most of them and I will continue to purchase them, either on-line or in-store.
This kit includes:
- Mini Benefit Cosmetics BADgal BANG! Volumizing Mascara in ‘Black’
- Mini Too Faced Better Than Sex Waterproof Mascara
- Full-Size SEPHORA COLLECTION Retractable Waterproof Eyeliner
- Mini Marc Jacobs Beauty Highliner Gel Eye Crayon Eyeliner
- Mini Kat Von D Tattoo Liner in ‘Trooper’
- Mini MAKE UP FOR EVER Artist Color Pencil in ‘Whatever Black’
- Mini FENTY BEAUTY by Rihanna Flyliner Longwear Liquid Eyeliner
- Mini Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Shadow in ‘Amethyst’
- Full-Size Urban Decay Eyeshadow in ‘Half Baked’
