McCain Potato Patties
Who doesn't love a potato patty?! They are crispy on the outside, mushy in the middle, and absolutely delicious! Perfect for a non-messy cooking breakfast or brunch, minimal effort, and bake pretty quickly.

McCain Extra Crispy Crinkle Cut Fries
I only tried these once, not sure if I messed up the temp or the cooking time. But I found the crispiness made them taste stale. My husband and children didn't like them either. I would not try them again.

McCain Red Skin Straight Cut
I really like these, they do not taste like a regular make at home French fry from McCain. But, my husband and kids don't like them at all. They can be a bit mushy if you under bake them.

McCain Extra Crispy Spicy Straight Cut Fries
I love these! They are crispy, spicy, and mushy in the middle. Everything that you want from a French fry that you make at home. My kids (who are 1 and 4) find these way too spicy for them.

I received this product as part of the product review club. My normal-oily combination skin loved this. It made my face feel so good after applying it. I used it under my moisturizer in the morning and also to take my make-up off at the end of the day. I had no issues with removing my make-up, except for mascara. And I do not use any fancy type of mascara, just a regular one and I still had issues with it. It pretty much did what it promised - perfectly cleansed and refreshed skin without rubbing or rinsing - well maybe not perfectly but it did a great job. At $9.99 a bottle it is a great buy!. -

I received this as part of the product review club. It goes on very well, absorbs well, and doesn't leave my normal-oily combination skin greasy at the end of the day. It is great under make up, which I usually find is an issue with moisturizers that have SPF in them. It is very fragrant, which I do not mind but may be an issue for others. I didn't notice the brightening, evening out effect that it promises. Overall, a great moisturizer even at the price of $20.99! -

After baby #1 I had a bad case of diastasis recti (abdominal separation – mommy tummy). Now after baby #2 I have a severe case of diastasis recti. My physiotherapists suggested this product, by Bellies Inc, to help in correcting the issue. Ideally, this is something that you would want to purchase before you deliver and wear/use the first 8 weeks post-partum. I started wearing it 10 weeks post-partum, have used it now for a full 8 weeks. With the complete system you get an Ab wrap, 2 tanks, a garment bag, and an exercise program that works on pelvic floor. You are spending around $200, which includes shipping. I have seen results, it does help me feel secure and in less pain throughout the day. You are expected to wear this all day long, including when you sleep. I only take it off to shower.
My overall thoughts. 1) The tanks are designed for nursing. I am unfortunately unable to breast-feed, I would have liked to purchase a non-nursing tank. It is annoying to have straps that go off to the side and an open chest since I have no need for that.
2) I feel that the velcro seams at the back are not sturdy enough. I have emailed the owners of Bellies Inc and they say that they are working on fixing this issue.
3) The tanks are dry-fit, but it is still very hot wearing it (especially when running after a 3 year old outside in the summer!) and it doesn't help with the sliding of the wrap. I have it on the tightest position and the bands overlap and I still have constant shifting. A cotton blend tank helps with this, which I often do wear underneath instead of the tanks provided. However, the owners told me that the tank is ideally designed for the first 8 weeks of healing and heat aids in that.
4) I love the videos and find the exercises really helpful. It's nice to finally see an exercise video that is not gimmicky and to have exercises that are very doable and do not take that long. I do them with my 3 year old and often right beside my 4 month old;).
Is it worth purchasing, definitely! I am months away from being “healed” but I do honestly believe that this is aiding in my recovery. I will be wearing it longer than the 8 weeks recommended (not to sure how much longer- my physiotherapists will let me know). It is not comfortable at all, and I have not gotten used to it. It is really annoying and hot to wear. But I am willing to do whatever it takes to not have surgery to correct this.
