I tried the Mott's Mr & Mrs T Blue Raspberry Mix and it tasted great alone as well as a mixed alcoholic beverage. For myself I added tequila and blended it with Ice adding a little shot of lemon juice at the end - slushie heaven. For the kids I just omitted the tequila, I think anything blue and frozen is always a hit in the summer. I found it to be less sweet than the Mai Tai but looking at the label it contains 21 grams of sugar per 90ml - quite a bit, considering how many drinks I had. Again it would be great if they could lower the sugar without compromising the taste. I feel that Mott's nailed the Blue Raspberry taste dead on, I love the tart/sweet combination. This product is great for experimenting - looking forward to bringing it with me to my next BBQ - that recipe booklet is going to be put to use this summer! All in all I didn't hate the product, it tastes good, I just wish the sugar content was a little lower. -

I tried the Mott's Mr & Mrs T Mai Tai Cocktail mix and it was like I was in a tropical paradise in my own backyard. I used a fancy glass, added some Vodka (well lets be honest - a lot of VODKA) and garnished with a cherry, orange and lime skewer. I did however find the product to be very sweet and upon looking on the label it contains a whopping 36 grams of sugar per 135ml - that's a lot. I would be awesome if they could lower the sugar without compromising the taste. It claims to have citrus, pineapple and almond flavor, which surprised me because I really couldn't taste the Almond. This product is ideal for having summer get-togethers or a girls night - it is fun to experiment - I loved getting the recipe booklet - that will come in handy. All in all I didn't hate the product, it tastes good, I just wish the sugar content was a little lower. -

This stuff is the worst - I shower, I wash, I rinse off, I put this stuff all over me and get out and put on my towel and I feel like it all comes off on my towel. It doesnt have time to absorb, the water still on my skin works like a barrier and the Moisturizer just sits on top. I felt like I had to re-apply lotion after. It really is a shame as I love the Nivea brand, but this product is a total miss for me - I would just rather do without. -

It's fresh, it's light and it actually works! No more heavy, greasy feeling. Spray Briogeo Rosarco Milk Reparative Leave-In Conditioning Spray into your hair while it is still damp and let the magic happen. A little goes a long way, I have been using my 5oz bottle for just over 3 months now and I still have about half the bottle to go. I found it on Sephora.com for $26 CND - which may seem steep, but as I said I have had 3 months out of the bottle so far, so in the spectum, I believe the value is totally worth it. This is the best leave-in I have ever used. I smells great and it works, which makes me happy. -

When I found these at Loblaws I was so excited! the baking wheels in my head started to turn. I instantly grabbed a box of Rice Krispies, some Maple Syrup and some Bacon. I candied the bacon with the syrup and used the Marshmallows in place of regular ones in my Rice Krispie Squares. I broke up the bacon and pushed the pieces into the top, before the squares set - Soooooo Good!
The Maple flavour of these marshmallows is so spot on and yet not too sweet as I find many "Maple" flavoured products. Can't wait for S'mores!!

Increases hydration and promotes elasticity. These face masks are a little touch of magic. These masks are soaked with a serum that soothes, hydrates and renews your skin, leaving you feel silky smooth, with enough serum left over to rub into your neck. I love that they come with a paper layer, making it easy to separate and place on your face without ripping.
on the website karunaskin.com they are $8 for one, but I suggest the 4 pack for $28. That is a months worth and the best value.

I want to start by saying I do not hate the Dove brand. Maybe that's why I was surprised that I did not like Dove Regenerative Nourishment Conditioner. The scent was lovely, but that's where it ended for me. I found it to be very thin and felt like it was already washing out, simply because my hair was wet. My brush was snaging my hair strands after my shower and I felt like I should just wash it again using something else. My hair once dried was, well, DRY and frizzy and did not feel "Regenerated" at al. I equally did not like the Shampoo. -

I want to start by saying I do not hate the Dove brand. Maybe that's why I was surprised that I did not like Dove Regenerative Nourishment Shampoo. It smells great, but that's where it ends for me. I found it didn't really work up much of a lather, that it was somewhat watery and that my hair felt like "I was super low on shampoo so I tried to add water to my bottle to make the most of what I have" kinda feeling. I equally did not like the continent. -

So I'm a complete clutz and burnt myself with a freshly made hot coffee (thank goodness I put milk) while wearing a tank top, no bra! Needless to say, the coffee seared my skin as it traveled down my neck into my cleavage! I was left with a nice steak mark and I had already had the Skin Therapy Oil on hand and read that it was great for dry/damaged skin, stretch marks and scars I applied everyday, gently, sometimes twice, and I have to say there is a faint mark, but all was healed and really I notice the imperfection. I also use it on my face and body. It absorbs lovely and doesn't leave a greasy film, like you would think an oil might. I love the smell, anything cocoa butter is right by me. I usually stock up at the Toronto Women's Show, yearly, as the show prices are fantastic. -
Venus Swirl Razor

I have tried and tried again to like this razor. The concept is pretty cool, a pivoting head for a better shave. Why dose it only pivot side to side, when the men's razor has a more fluid movement? Do my knees not matter to you Venus? I have knicked myself more with this razor than any cheep disposable razor! I feel the blades are dull and I feel they put more effort into the handle than anything else. Just so we are clear, I tried it for free, and hated it. I bought it, and hated it. And a year later I thought, maybe they improved it, so I tried it again and yup, still crap. I love the brand and will stick with my Embrace or Divine until the next new razor hits shelves, but Venus Swirl, I bid you adieu. -
