I received a FPC for these tacos I honestly cant remember the last time I had tacos so this was a huge treat and I will defiantly buy them more often.The kit comes with twelve hard taco shells that now stand up for easier filling.Mild taco sauce and seasoning to mix through the ground beef.
I am vegetarian so I got veggie ground and made it with the seasoning as the instructions advised it turned out perfectly.I also added diced tomatoes,shredded lettuce,grated cheese,diced onion and a bit of diced jalapenos.So good!

If your ever in The Kootenays in Balfour, British Columbia this is somewhere you have to go!It costs $12 for the day/night and you have access to the hot springs pool,the cave and the plunge(I will explain the plunge a little later.)
*Here is where the water comes from information taken from there website-The springs originate in the Cody Caves area, which is directly above and to the west of Ainsworth Hot Springs. The water works its way down through porous rock to a depth of 1-1/2 to 2 kilometers.
The water picks up temperatures at a rate of 40 C° per km down until it strikes what is known as the lakeshore fault.This fault is an impervious layer of rock lying at an angle of 45 to 50 degrees from Ainsworth Hot Springs to a point directly below the Cody Caves. Hydraulic pressure forces the water up along the fault where it emerges at Ainsworth Hot Springs - Voila - Hot Water.
Many people come from all over for healing properties from the mineral contents in the springs.The last time I went I literally stayed in the water for over 4 hours and did not want to leave.The cave which is just outside the hot springs pool is a horseshoe shape and and the water is very very hot in there it will take you breath away.
But it is so peaceful and relaxing to swim or wade through as its not to deep and nice to find a quiet corner and just relax.Its best to go during the week when its not so busy it is always open so it would be quite a treat when there is snow.The plunge as I mentioned above is right at the end of the cave when you come out its not for the faint of heart and to tell you the truth I was a little nervous of how shocking it may feel after coming out of steaming hot caves and into cold water.
It is exhilarating!Its very hard to explain but it just gives you this burst of energy.I never felt so good after a day of being here my skin felt so soft and my hair was super soft from the Silica and Magnesium in the water.If your having health issues or just need to relax I highly recommend it.

I really like this body wash.I was surprised at how thick and creamy it is I have tried lots of different body washes and this is the thickest one I've come across.I love how it feels when I lather it over my skin.It has a nice light fresh scent that is not overpowering but really pleasant.
When I first tried it and seen on the bottle that it says its a moisturizing body wash I thought for sure it was going to leave a greasy residue on my skin but quite the opposite it left my skin feeling fresh,soft and really clean.Here is what it claims on there website below.I would have to agree it left my skin feeling wonderful.
Total Effects fights 7 signs of aging (rough texture, uneven skin tone, dullness, and dryness) by:
• Improving elasticity
• Relieving dryness
• Deeply moisturizing
• Brightening dull skin
• Evening skin tone
• Smoothing rough skin
• Minimizing the appearance of fine lines

I recently bought this in Crisp Linen and find I'm using these wipes for everything.I absolutely love the smell of these they smell like a perfume a friend brought back from Hawaii for me that was Violet scented.These wipes strangely enough smell just like Violets!My house smells so clean and fresh after using these and the wipes are strong and really hold up for vigorous cleaning.
There perfect for the kitchen,bathroom,living room, vehicle,walls you name it they work! There just so handy to have on hand and be able to grab a wipe quickly and start cleaning.They also come in large containers which I buy at No Frills for a really great price so they last a really long time.This is a product that I will always keep well stocked in my home.

I really do not like this toothpaste.After brushing with this toothpaste I always have lots of gritty residue left behind even when I rinse with mouthwash I can still feel it there.I also do not like the after taste it does not freshen my mouth as well as some others I have tried and it has an artificial taste. I'm sure the abrasive gritty formula helps in cleaning teeth better but I hate that feeling after brushing of putting my teeth together and feeling that crunching feeling of left over toothpaste particles. -

These Befine facial products are strange.I really love the ingredients which are natural products.However with that being said there are lots of great natural/organic facial products on the market that are way better and even cheaper then there line of products.There products all seem to be super runny which is really annoying in the shower.
I like my facial cleaners to be a bit more solid so its easier to rub into my face.This just went straight down the drain off my hands before I could get very little onto my face. what I did manage to save did not make my face feel great,it did not irritate my face but it did not feel cleansed at all.There products are not cheap as well so I would really expect a much better quality product.

I also found these towelettes way to rough for such a delicate area as the eyes.It also left my eyes irritated and red for a few hours and really made them sting.I have been trying lots of eye makeup removers lately and I will stick with my Yves Rocher chamomile water eye makeup remover it is so much more soothing on the eyes.With these Biore ones they are also terrible at removing mascara not worth the bother to have stinging eyes afterwards. -

I thought I had reviewed this one a long time ago but I guess I was wrong.This is one of my top must haves in my home and if Chickadvisor still had the Chick hot list tab I would be adding this one to my list.I spray it through my hair concentrating more on the roots to cover grays usually before going out in the sun.It works so well that I have not had to dye my hair in ages.
I've gotten it to such a nice blonde this summer and thanks to this John Frieda Spray and some props to the sun :p .I love all John Frieda products they are superior in hair care products.I have not had a problem with my hair drying out because there is hydrogen peroxide in this product.I just usually condition well and do a deep treatment condition once in awhile.
I also do not use the spray everyday.It also contains citrus and chamomile both excellent lightening natural products.It also states you can use this with better results using a flat iron or blow dryer.I prefer to spray before going out in the sun.This lightening spray is the best and works so well.
