I had the magic bullet with me while living away from home at University. Yes, it is nice that the container is small so you can make a one-person portion. And yes, it was handy at first that the container you blend in doubles as a mug (even though I found bits of smoothie would get caught in the rim and be impossible to get out).
But I really don't think this product is anything special. I'd much rather just use a really great full size blender that has larger and sharper blades. I often found large chunks of fruits in my smoothies -- which I must add I NEVER have now that I've switched to a regular full-sized blender.
I also found that after about 6 months of using it regularly, it started to make funny sounds when it blended. From there is slowly started breaking down. The day it started to smell like rubber after use was the day I tossed mine.
I'd say this product is mediocre. The craze can really be attributed to the good marketing techniques (don't tell me you don't remember those infomercials). I would not purchase again.

I love CHANGE. The quality of the products are excellent, the fit is great (they have a HUGE range of sizes), styles are lovely, and the staff is very well trained and knowledgeable. I also find that the prices are very reasonable.
You have to get fitted in this store because their sizes are unusual. But I've never found a bra that fits me better than my CHANGE bras. I also love the experience you have in the store. The sales associates always work with you to make sure you find the perfect fit - which I think is really important for a lingerie store. So many women wear bras that don't fit them properly, we need expert guidance!
I highly recommend checking out a CHANGE store. I had a great experience at the Queen St. location so I will absolutely be going back.

I love the Sandwich Box and often get cravings for my personal fave: avocado and chipotle mayo sprea, brie cheese and prosciutto on thick fresh whole wheat bread.
They do have some pre-set items on the menu but I much prefer custom made. They have a great selection of healthy and delicious ingredients. You will be paying a a few dollars more than you would at say, Subway, but this place is so much better. The sandwiches also come with a little salad on the side.
They also have soups and salads that look excellent.

I've been to this place several times and it's always great. The lineups are crazy at lunchtime but it's worth the wait if you have the time. They have a wide selection of Italian foods like pizza, pasta, paninis. They also have brownies that look incredible (though I haven't tried one yet). The place is also very clean and the food is fresh. Expect to pay $10-$12 for the average meal, but the portion size is large so it's worth it. -

This is a light foundation that is meant to give your skin a velvety texture and it delivers. It applies really even and smooth and feels delightful on my skin. It really left my skin looking flawless, even and smooth. I noticed that my skin looked brighter and glowy after putting this on, which in turn made me look well-rested (which I was not at the time) and fresh.
I don't wear foundation on a regular basis because I don't think I need it, but I would absolutely use this for occasions when I'm dressing up or if I know pictures will be taken! The texture is light, so I'm not totally sure how well it would work for someone who has pigmentation or spots that need fuller coverage.
I received a sample from the brand for testing.

I got 2 L.A. Colours nail lacquers in my stocking this Christmas and I love them. They are sold at Jean Machine for 2 for $10. Great price to start off with. The colours I got are Luscious Wine and a vibrant pink (can't remember the name) and I truly can't decide which I like better.
I really think the quality is equal to that of OPI - not to mention the bottle looks really similar. The colours come out very similar to what they look like in the bottle. They also last just as long as OPI laquers.
I definitely recommend this brand!

I tried this lipstick in #400 Temptress - it's a rosy pink colour. First of all, it applied really smoothly - if I didn't already know it was a drugstore brand I would have thought differently. The colour is very pigmented and it has a lot of staying power. I didn't have to reapply at all, and at the end of the day I had to use makeup remover to get it off. If you are looking for a long lasting lipstick, I would definitely recommend this one.
I received mine as a PR sample from the brand.

I got a bottle of this for Christmas and it's great. Personally I really like that powdery fresh scent, so I've been putting some on my arms before leaving the house just to get some of that freshness back.
It's very lightweight so I think it's really ideal for summer. And at Avon prices, you sure get your money's worth!

This stuff is classic!
When I wear eye makeup, I use it as a remover. I also enjoy putting some in bath water - it will leave your skin super moisturized and you smelling powdery fresh. I once tried putting it on my legs when they were dry and found it left them looking too shiny (I looked like I was sweating profusely) so I haven't done that since. But I love the other recommendations below mine suggesting that you use it directly after a shower BEFORE towel drying. I assume that will eliminate that over greased look while still giving you the moisture.

Schick Quattro Razor for Women
I love Schick Quattro razors. They are give a close shave, I've never cut myself with one and they don't dull out quickly. What more do you need in a razor?
