Firstly, I have to say the size of this pizza is perfect for one. Admittedly, I was a little dismayed by how little cheese there actually was, especially given it was the only topping. I did enjoy that the base was a white sauce and loved the flavour, but could definitely have done with more cheese. I will note that I did actually add a few toppings of my own after cooking as I did not think it would be enough as is. -

Packaged in a huge tub, you really get a lot of product for the price- this would last a really long time as a little, goes a long way. This balm is super thick but if you don’t like sticky, greasy feeling creams, this may not be for you. I don’t mind, as I typically put this product on before bed. I initially thought I would only use this on extremely dry, cracked skin like my feels which are always so dry, they actually wake me up at night, but I actually used this over most of my body.
I only wish they had sent this product for me to try 4 mths ago, during the very dry, cold winter we just had. Typical of Aveeno products, this balm is fragrance and dye free. A great product for dry, chapped, cracked skin!

Packaged in a convenient tube (perfect for tossing in your bag), this ointment has a unique silicone tip that makes it perfect for targeted application. I found it great for applying to cuticles!
Fragrance and dye free, this ointment is nice and thick, which I liked as I could apply it and let it sit and absorb into my skin as I sat and watched tv. Really helps to soften skin. Would also be perfect for dry elbows since it stays put!

Full disclaimer: I do not have greys, I do however have incredibly fine hair and my new growth can sometimes look grey as it is incredibly light and fine, so I figured this might help keep the color consistent.
The color I selected was “Dark Blonde”. My natural hair color is a light brown but I do lighten it (not due but a peroxide based lightening spray) and the resulting color is what I refer to as “Bronde”, so I figured this would be a good match. Boy was I ever wrong! Not only was the color significantly darker than my blonder sections, it was even darker than my light brown Hair. So this was a bust for me right from the start. So if you have anything lighter than a medium brown, I would probably say this product won’t work for you as I would consider their Dark Blonde a match for Light/Medium brown hair.
The product comes packaged in a mascara wand- like tube with a wire brush applicator which I thought would be great to get into those sneaky spots (especially for those with just a light sprinkling of greys). Now, I don’t know if maybe their formula is just too thick or what, but very little product was actually on the wand and running the wand along my roots and hairline didn’t really do much, nothing seemed to come off and stick to my hair. It just kind of teased my hair making it frizzy and caused my hair to get tangled in the wand.
When I did manage to get some of the product in my dry clean hair, it just made my roots look super greasy and gross. I honestly can’t even give the product a rating for longevity or anything like that, as it either didn’t work enough to rate or it came out looking so gross I needed to wash my hair. Perhaps they just need to work on the formula, but this was a no for me.

I really wanted to love this product. Having used many Dove products over the years, I was really excited about the concept of a mousse conditioner.
As always, the product featured a nice floral scent common for Dove products. I really liked that the mousse allowed me to concentrate applying the product to my ends without the product “slipping” off my wet strands. Marketed as lightweight moisture, sadly the product ended up being mostly air and I had to use theee large golf ball sized applications to even feel the product in my hair, and barely there at that.
While it rinsed out nicely and cleanly. Unfortunately it was just not substantial enough a moisturizing product for my incredibly dry hair. Hair was not easily detangled.
That being said, it was an incredibly long cold winter here in Alberta and spending my days in front of a space heater at work, has left my hair in worse shape than normal. Very dry, frizzy and staticky.
I do think this product would be a better fit when my hair doesn’t leave as intense moisture. I’d be happy to give it another shot this Summer when a lighter weight product would be appreciated.
While this wasn’t a good fit right now, it doesn’t discourage me from Dove products in the future.

I purchased this particular product by accident. I had intended to get my usual Red Pepper version but inadvertently grabbed the wrong one. I was worried as I don't typically like things that are too spicy, but this was just right! This product featured the usual great taste and value of all savra products. I think the prices are very reasonable and are available at many of my local grocers so convenience is great.
I also really like that they offer several different flavours so that you can try them all!

We had the opportunity to test out this new product for the past 2 weeks and have been very happy with it! Firstly, this product is Grain-Free - the first 13 ingredients are meat and then chock full of vegetables! I was incredibly pleased to see that this wasn't full of filler and my girl was eating better than I was!!
We started off by adding small amounts of the new food to her existing brand, in order to ease the transition and avoid any upset stomach. Since she already suffers from sensitive tummy issues, that's always a concern, but we didn't have any issues with this, despite/because of the high protein and fibre content, things were A-ok on that front. She also chose to meticulously pick out all the tiny "new" kibble first, since it obviously smelled appealing and was probably seen as a treat.
One thing I did notice was that her coat was noticeably softer. It's been said that gluten can definitely have a negative affect on human hair and skin so I was not surprised to see this as a side effect of the new food. Three visitors to the house also mentioned she was "so soft". I consider her short coat to be typically bristly so it was nice that others noticed it too!
It's always hard to tell if food ever changes her energy levels, as being a boxer, she always has the go-go-go characteristics of a puppy, but there were no negative changes to her demeanor so that's always a plus!
My only qualms about this product is obviously the price. At $31.00/ 2.27 kg bag, if we were to purchase the same size bag that we do of her current food (13.60 kgs) it would cost us almost $200/mth!!! That's three times the amount currently being spent. While I do realize that you're obviously paying more for quality ingredients, that's quite the jump to consider.
Overall, we were really impressed with this product and Finley LOVED IT!!! I would not hesitate to recommend this product to anyone looking to make the move to a Grain-Free dog food!
*While we were provided this product free to test and review, all thoughts and opinions are my own and I was not compensated in any manner for a positive review.

This is by far, the best Dry Shampoo I've ever used. It smells absolutely amazing and works great at refreshing 2nd Day hair. Also pretty good at adding volume on my super fine hair. My only complaint is the white residue, I would much prefer a coloured version. Price point on this is a little higher than most drugstore options, but considering it works much better, I don't mind the added cost. -

I picked this up as a gift pack from Costco for stocking stuffers. I had never tried the lotion before, but everyone I know is a big fan of the lip balms so figured it would be a hit! I really like the relatively slim packaging- works nicely for tucking in a pocket or evening a clutch for going out. The cap is a little tough to open but I appreciate that I don't have to worry about it opening in my bag.
The lotion is nicely, but very lightly fragranced- I appreciate that they focused more on making sure the formula was actually moisturizing and not just smelled good.

Tried Zoya nail polish for the first time this weekend courtesy of a subscription box and I have to say that I am really impressed! I was actually surprised that this is a natural, toxin free polish as it is very long wearing!!! However, this went on nicely saturated, even and without streaks!
The Color is a nice deep berry color- perfect for fall and winter. I'll definitely be seeking this brand out in the future when I'm polish shopping!
