It has a silky soft and lightweight texture and applies really smoothly to my skin. It's meant to help improve your skin tone and texture, provide moisture, and also help with wrinkles. I don't have wrinkles yet but I decided to try this product for the moisturizing properties and because I'm always looking for products that will improve my skin tone and texture. Unfortunately I cannot comment on how effective it is as an anti-aging product (which I assume most people will purchase it for).
I have been using it for almost 2 weeks and it leaves my skin feeling really nice and soft after applying it, but I haven't noticed any changes in the appearance of my skin. My face basically looks and feels the same as it did before. This is a nice cream but I do not think it is worth the hefty price tag if you are looking for a product to moisturize and perfect your skin tone/texture. Perhaps someone trying it for anti-aging purposes would have better luck.
I tried a PR sample of this skin cream courtesy of the brand.

I got laser hair removal from this salon and was really happy with the service. I trusted them from the start after hearing a good review from my sister and when I went in, the aesthetician was really knowledgeable on the system.
I had to go 11 times for the hair to be completely gone (totally worth it though!). Your hair grows in cycles so you could never expect all the hair to be gone after only one appointment. FYI if any place ever tells you this, RUN! Their machines are top-of-the-line and very effective. I am extremely pleased with the results.
The customer service is great - they are always super friendly, respectful and they call you to remind you about appointments. Plus they are an Aveda salon, and if you've ever been to an Aveda salon you would know that part of the Aveda experience is that you can get your makeup done after every appointment free! A huge bonus!
I've gotten my hair done here a couple of times and was quite pleased with the results as well. One time that I went I went in with a brassy colour and my stylist expertly mixed toner to fix it. I was very pleased to say the least!

I purchased this bottle of 100% pure jojoba oil about a month ago and I've been adding 1-2 drops to my usual cleanser daily. I've noticed a major improvement in the texture of my skin since I started including natural oils into my routine. My skin feels softer and appears more dewy. I was a bit worried about breaking out and for the first few days after adding this to my routine I noticed a few bumps on my forehead. But those quickly cleared up and I've been pimple-free since.
I'm absolutely hooked on natural oils now. I (like most people, I'm sure) was concerned about putting oils only my naturally oily skin, but after some research I learned that adding natural oils signals to your skin that there is enough and it actually balances out oil production. I recommend trying these. I purchased mine at a health food store in the Greater Toronto Area called Ambrosia and it was about $6 - a huge steal!

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling
I loved this book too. The series really starts to get darker and more mature with this book. It only took me a couple days to read because it was so captivating. I would recommend the series!

I've been to Marcello's many times and the food has never disappointed. It's Italian food and the menu features wood-burning oven made pizza, fresh pastas, panini, antipasto, and meat/fish plates.
I find that the food is authentically Italian and the price is excellent. Desserts are good too - I had the tiramisu once and it was amazingg!! I was there again last night and 2 of us shared a plate of mussels in marinara sauce and a pizza made with asiago cheese, prosciutto and arugula and the bill came out to $31! Plus we had some pizza left over for lunch today.
The service is mediocre though - they take your order promptly and the food is made quickly, but I sometimes find that they ditch you after putting food on your table. Our plates were piling up yesterday and I had to wait at least 20 minutes for a refill on my water. Even still, I keep going back because the price is fantastic and the food is delicious.
You have to get there early because it's always packed!

We got some of this tea sent to the office as a PR sample.
I'm currently sipping on Blueberry Merlot and it's delicious and pretty. Each tea bag is a triangle shape and the string looks like a little leaf. Each bag is individually wrapped in this cute paper wrapping. This is certainly something nice to give as a gift or to serve at a party.
The price is steep so I don't think it's something that I'd drink all the time.

I bought grapeseed oil at a health food store near my house a few weeks ago and I'm super impressed. It's 100% grapeseed oil and it's a great moisturizer. My skin has been glowing since I started using this and it feels amazing!
It can also be used on dry hair, but I've been applying it as a moisturizer to my face. I have oily and acne prone skin, but this hasn't clogged my pores or left me oily at all. At first I was using it as a base to my usual lotion, but I don't even need the lotion. It's a light oil that has no scent and most importantly for me, it doesn't clog pores. Grapeseed oil is a carrier oil so it does not need to be diluted like some essential oils do. You can use it in it's pure form directly on your skin.
I would definitely recommend trying grapeseed oil as it's 100% natural, inexpensive and works great

We got a bunch of samples of the new cream blush in the ChickAdvisor office and I picked up Melon.
It applies really smooth and blends well. The first time I wore it, I found that it had worn off by the end of the day. The next day, I tried applying more of the product (I just had to blend really well) and I kept that rosy glow all day long.
I'm honestly super impressed with this cream blush. I'd even go as far to say that I like it just as much as the Giorgio Armani Blushing Fabric I normally wear - which is really saying something as I'm obsessed with that product.
For 8 bucks, this is a must-try.

I tried a PR sample of this product and I love it.
It's glossy without being sticky or overly shiny, long lasting, and leaves my lips feeling smooth. The shade I tried is Caramel 02, which is very similar to my natural lip colour so I've been using this on top of a brighter pink lipstick for extra colour. I'd like to try this product in a different shade so I didn't have to layer. But still, I've been wearing it every day since I got it last week because I love the way it makes my lips feel.
I'd recommend this product.
