I went into Change on a Saturday afternoon, and the level of service really wasn't spectacular. I couldn't quite understand the sizing and the lady who spoke with me seemed to be rather impatient and unwilling/unable to help. The pricing of the bras was a bit of a turn-off as well. I ended up walking out with one bra that, after a few trips through the wash, has gotten pill-y and a bit stretched. It's now my leisure home bra - I wouldn't really wear it out and around.
Given my larger size, I would shop at Addition-Elle any time for bras over Change!

I am currently munching on a Peanut Butter Chocolate flavour Fibre One bar – in the 100-calorie size and have been inspired to write a review.
This bar is surprisingly big for a 100-calorie portion. Considering the meager portions of some of the other 100-calorie snacks out there, this bar is a great size. The chocolate chunks in the bar don’t have that yucky, processed, low-cal taste.. I find it to be rich and delicious – same with the layer of peanut butter that lines the bottom of the bar. So tasty!
Perfect complement to my mid-morning cup of English Breakfast at work. It really does the trick to keep me going until lunch time!

I am very much in love with this mascara. I had been a faithful user of MAC mascara (before I went on vacation and forgot it at home), and purchased this on a whim with the intention to use it only on my vacation. I loved it! I believe it’s leaps and bounds above MAC, and, of course, about half the price.
Smooth application, never clumps, and lengthens my lashes so wonderfully!

Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm with Vitamin-E & Peppermint

I bought Burts Bees for the first time on a recent trip to Las Vegas from central Canada. I couldn't believe how dry the air was down there! My lips became almost immediately dry, cracked, and quite painful. My girlfriend, who lives in Las Vegas, swears by Burts Bees and insisted I buy one for myself.
It worked absolute wonders. I usually don't wear lip balm - I find that my lips go through extreme withdrawal after I stop using it - but I don't find this to be the case with Burts Bees at all. Even my husband (the manliest of men who considers lip balm to be a sign of weakness) was convinced and used it for the duration of our trip. I would definitely recommend!

I first bought a box of these chips on a cross-border shopping trip to upstate NY and fell in love, but also fell into quick disappointment as they were not available in Canada at the time. Just a few months later, I stumbled upon these in my local grocery store while in a snack-searching stupor. Woohoo! My salty prayers have been answered.
These chips are wonderful. I have been looking for a suitable alternative to mini rice cakes which, while delicious, don't allow me to eat any more than 8-10 per serving. The original flavour cracker chips allow 20 chips per serving! If I take my time and savour the wonderful saltiness (which is difficult to do, I admit), I get a fabulously filling snack for under 100 calories. The sour cream and onion flavour is similarly heart-warming: I can indulge on 18 chips per serving, also for under 100 calories.
They can indeed be a little on the expensive side, especially when compared to the mini rice cakes which frequently go on sale at my local grocery store, but I find the quality of snacking to be well worth it. I would give these chips two graciously-licked thumbs up!
