I like strong tea with a bold taste, so no 1 minute dip in the hot water for me. For this reason most English Breakfast teas I've ever had have been a disappointment.
I was expecting to be disappointed by this one too but I was pleasantly surprised instead.
The tea bags themselves seem to be made of organza, so you know just looking at them that this is not just any tea. The box says they use whole leaf tea, not dust like other manufacturers. And it seems to make all the difference in the world. In fact my tea bag plumped up after steeping, so it was evident that whole leaves were used.
Based on the bold delicious flavour whole leaves do make a hugh difference to taste also.
Truthfully, I would love to buy this tea to enjoy again but the price would deter me from doing that.
I love Teapigs English Breakfast Tea.

This is the best antiperspirant that I've ever used. It goes on dry and smooth so you feel comfortable and confident immediately, no waiting for it to dry to get dressed.
I wear dark colors most of the time and it is truly invisible. The scent is lovely and it works for up to 48 hours.
I've tried other dry sprays on the market and they are not nearly as good. They do mark my dark colors even though they claim to be invisible.
Dove invisible dry antiperspirant comes through on everything it claims.

My husband received this product free as part of the Chick Advisor product review club.
He normally uses a clear stick deodorant rather than an antiperspirant so this type of product is not his preference.
Having said that, he found it to be effective at keeping him feeling dry all day. There was little to no fragrance and was not sticky when applied both of which he liked.
I don't think he would buy it again but simply because it's just not what he normally uses, not because it's not effective.

Ponds Evening Soothe Moistureclean towelettes have a lovely calming scent. I usually use lavender essential oil at night to help me relax before falling asleep. I found the scent of these towelettes was just as soothing as the lavender oil.
They are much thicker and more luxurious than other brands I've tried and left my skin feeling clean and comfortable. They remove oil and dirt very well but did not do a good job of taking off my mascara.

I tried the Dove Dry Spray Anti-perspitant because I was curious, I usually use a stick.
It really does go on dry and leaves you feeling smooth and comfortable. I like that you can get dressed right away. The only downside to it is that it did leave white residue on my black clothes.
I tried the chamomile scent and it's lovely.

I received CND Vinylux weekly polish and top coat as part of the Chick Advisor premium membership.
The claim is that the polish and top coat combo will last a full week. I have working hands which means cooking, gardening, cleaning and washing dishes all without wearing gloves. I was skeptical that any polish would still look good after 7 days with the all that I put my hands through everyday.
I applied 2 coats of polish and the top coat as directed. The polish was a really nice consistency, not to thin and thick enough to cover nicely with 2 coats. The top coat gave it a pretty shiny finish.
I got compliments on my manicure throughout the week even on day 6. After everything I did this week the polish held up incredibly well and is just starting to chip today on day 9.
I will definitely buy this polish again. At $13.99 at Shoppers' it's a bit on the pricey side but since it preformed so well, I think it's worth it.

I have a weakness for cranberry and orange and these bars did not disappoint. The flavour was so real it tasted homemade.
The bars were moist and packed with wholegrains and natural flavours.
I liked the quality and natural ingredients so much I feel great about giving them to my six year old as part of a nutritious breakfast.

I'm a from scratch baker, always have been. So buying muffins from the store is unheard of in my house. To say I wasn't expecting to like these muffins is an understatement.
To my surprise they were wholesome, moist, flavourful and packed with whole grains and delicious fruit.
I would recommend these to a friend and would buy them again. The price works out to about 1 dollar a muffin and that's a great deal especially when you don't have the time or the desire to bake.

Thank goodness for Nivea Nourishing In-Shower Body Milk!
I have to admit I'm not good at skin care, moisturizing in particular. I'm a soap and water kind of girl, so my routine has been just that. Soap and water in the shower and that's the end of that. Until recently that routine has worked perfectly well. But when I started to feel like my skin was tight and itchy I knew that I would have to do something. I remembered hearing about an in-shower moisturizer so I thought that would be my best option. Even though it was adding a step, it was a step that I could do in the shower.
Nivea is a brand I have trusted since I was a child and it didn't disappoint with this product. The lotion smells great and is easy to apply. My skin feels a bit slick when I first apply it but once it's rinsed off my skin is left smooth and silky. Even though I have added a step to my routine, it's worth every second it takes. I wouldn't consider ending my shower without my very important last step.

I was a little skeptical about this product at first because it didn't seem likely that a container could make such a difference in how long my fresh fruit would last. Also, It was a little on the pricey side so I would have been very disappointed if it didn't work.
Boy, was I surprised when I started using the containers. My usually very perishable strawberries were lasting up to 2 weeks in the fridge in incredably good condition.
I put the unwashed berries into the container as soon as I bring them home, as directed and that's it. All you have to do after that is enjoy your fruit or vegetable for way longer than you will expect to.
These containers are worth every penny. I am planning to buy a few more.
