I got one of these when I was in my pre-teen years and still have it today, so it's lasted a number of years. Mine is hot pink. There are a variety of games available for this device- games for all skill levels and interests. I enjoy playing Brain Age and Mario games. This is small enough to take anywhere. As a pre-teen, I used to like to use the chat feature available on this device to chat with my sisters or friends who were close by. There isn't a far reach for connecting on chat, making it safe for parents to know who their kids are talking with. The graphics are good. -

I bought this light on sale at The Source for $19.99 last Boxing Day. It required three AAA batteries to operate, which are not included. The batteries get inserted at the bottom of the lamp. The battery tab is quite hard to close and needs to be at an exact perfect angle to do so, which is very frustrating.
As for the lamp itself, it was brighter than I expected, which was a great surprise. It is enough to mildly light up a small room. I use mine to read at night when the light is off. If the person next to you is a mild sleeper, the light might bother them. There are two LED lights, both of which work independently-- so you can choose to keep one or both lights on. The necks of the lights are flexible and easy to move around.

I bought a pack of these blueberry bagels from Metro at a price of two for $5. Each bag contains six bagels, all of which are pre-sliced. The pre-slicing of the bagels helps making sandwiches cleaner and easier. The bagel is soft and chewy when un-toasted; there is an added crunch when the bagel is toasted. There are pieces of blueberry spread unevenly throughout the bagel, though not as many as I expected. There is a mild blueberry flavour in every bite, which provides a hint of delicious sweetness. Each bagel is 200 calories. I will definitely buy this again, as they are great to eat alone or as part of a sandwich.
These bagels also contain a great amount of nutrients, such as iron (15 per cent daily intake); folate (35 per cent daily intake); and fibre (8 per cent daily intake).

Fibre 1 Bar Oats & Chocolate

This is one of my favourite Fibre 1 granola bars. It is so chocolatey that it reminds me of eating a chocolate bar, only it's healthy. Each individual bar contains 28 per cent of daily recommended fibre, which is great for someone like me who doesn't get enough fibre into her diet. The bar is chewy, with the base being made of a rolled oat and sweet syrup mixture to hold it together. There are chocolate chips spread throughout the bar and also a thick layer drizzled on top of it.
Large boxes of these can be found at Costco and Wal Mart for a great price.

the CONSEQUENCES by Colette Freedman

Good story told from three perspectives. It starts with the perspective of the mistress, then the cheating husband, and finally wife. It goes over the same story and days from different angles. I've never read a book written from this perspective before. Very interesting and intriguing book. I really enjoyed seeing the same day from three perspectives and seeing what they each thought of the perspective. I felt I really got to know each character well. It is a light read. -

I still have the first version of this and have yet to try the second.
I have a variety of EOS lip balm flavours and use them daily. With this particular one, I find the scent is light but fruity. It reminds me of being in a strawberry patch. The smell lingers lightly on my lips for quite a while without being overpowering. The balm itself is moisturizing and I can feel the difference as soon as I apply it. With this particular flavour, I do not feel i need to apply it quite as often to keep my lips hydrated. The balm is moisturizing without being greasy. I usually purchase my EOS from Shopper's Drug Mart.

I'm a huge fan of Fibre 1 bars, as they taste great and provide much needed fibre. There are a variety of bars to choose from and I haven't been disappointed with any I've tried. My favourite is probably the Oats & Chocolate. A variety of these bars can be found at Wal Mart, Loblaws, Food Basics, etc.
The bars I've tried are chewy and chocolatey. They remind me of eating dessert, only in a healthy bar. They are great for snack, as part of lunch, or as part of breakfast. I'll keep buying these again and again.

After seeing the giveaway for these on Chick Advisor and reading the reviews, I went out and bought a box of these and the banana muffins. I found these at Wal Mart for $3.97. Each box comes with four individually wrapped muffins, which helps to keep freshness and makes them easy to grab on-the-go.
There are plenty of chocolate chips inside the muffin, which melt and ooze after being put into the microwave for 30 seconds. The muffin is moist with a soft crumb. The texture reminds me of an oatmeal cookie, in terms of the oatmeal grain throughout, which provides a nice soft crunchy bite. I really enjoyed how present the oatmeal was in this muffin. I warmed half of my muffin and kept the rest at room temperature, and I did prefer it at room temperature.

The Premier Protein Chocolate Shake had me feeling like I was drinking dessert, all while providing me with nutrients and energy to fuel my day.
I can honestly say that after I got to #tryPremierProtein, I am hooked. This product will be attended to my regular list of Costco buys. The shake is smooth and velvety. It smells like a milk chocolate bar and tastes like chocolate milk. It is filling without being heavy in my stomach. I appreciate that each shake is only 160 calories, as I only do mild exercise like walking, so it can still be incorporated into my day. This is great for lunch or breakfast, or if you need a protein boost after the gym. Absolutely delicious.
Without having #gotitfree, I'm afraid I would have overlooked the product, and- boy- would I have been missing out!

I absolutely love Clover Leaf Flavored Tuna. I have tried almost every flavour available and enjoy them all. Some of my favorites are the Tomato and Onion, Garlic and Hot Pepper, and Lemon & Pepper. All of the tuna flavours I've tried live up to their name.
Each can is individually portioned, which makes it easy to grab on the go for lunch. I love to eat my tuna with crackers but it's also great in a sandwich or to add to a salad. The tuna is flaky and moist. It breaks apart easily. These can be found at most grocery stores for under $2. I'll keep buying again and again.
