NIVEA Cocoa Butter Body Cream
This was a great product. Usually I'm hesitant to buy non-boutique brand moisturizer but this left my skin smoother than most I've tried before! I have red bumps all over my upper arms and this really toned those down as well.

Zevia is a relatively unique soda brand, as it does not sweeten its products with sugar or artificial sweeteners. It uses natural sweeteners and stevia extract. Of course, this soda does not taste as sweet as more mainstream brands. However, if you are addicted to carbonation, like I am, these beverages are a perfect treat that won't spike your blood sugar and leave you feeling bloated and guilty. Grape is my favourite flavour, as it tastes almost like Grape Crush, without the ridiculous amount of sugar. It's sweetened with natural grape juice and stevia. Of course, having higher quality ingredients leads the Zevia brand to be more expensive, and more difficult to find outside of high priced health food stores. If cost isn't an issue, I would highly recommend this product. -

These fizz tablets from Arbonne are a very good quality product that give you a good energy boost, without added caffeine or sugar. I tried pomegranate flavour, which was very pleasant. You add these tablets to a glass of water and they dissolve within 10 or so minutes. For more concentrated flavour, use less water. As someone who is trying to limit pop and juice intake, these tablets provide a good addition to water without sugar or artificial sweeteners. They are sweetened with natural flavours and stevia extract. The major drawback is the price. For 20 tablets, I paid about $25-$30. Arbonne has high quality, natural products, so the high price is a given with this company. If you can afford them, they are great. -

Usually I associate the Vex cooler brand with cheap drinks. This flavour is no exception, as it was around $10 for 6 coolers, which is quite a bit cheaper than other brands. I am also usually disappointed with many flavours of Vex, as the alcohol tastes too concentrated (they have 7% vodka content), and the flavours too artificial. However, this particular flavour is delicious. It tastes just like cream soda, and you can barely taste the alcohol. For someone who doesn't like the taste of alcohol, that is a bonus. For those who enjoy the taste of alcohol, these would not be a good choice. However, they are refreshing and easy to drink. For those watching their sugar intake, however, may want to avoid them. -

This mouthwash is very effective. The price is higher than most other mouthwashes, but it claims to do more than its competitors as well. It has a very pleasant, minty taste, and does not burn your mouth as much as other types of mouthwash (there is no alcohol). I used it twice daily for a few months, along with regular brushing, and I really noticed a whitening effect on my teeth. My teeth weren't super yellow to begin with, and if yours are you may want to consider a more professional whitening treatment. However, for minor staining this product was excellent. I will continue to purchase it and recommend it to others. -

Made Fresh is a nice little bistro open for breakfast and lunch in Thunder Bay, ON. There aren't many tables, so there was about a 10-minute wait on a Tuesday at lunch hour. That may be too long to wait for some who are on their lunch break from work. However, it is bright and clean with a very pleasant atmosphere. The staff was very friendly and chatty. The food was very good, and from what I understand is all locally made. The cream of mushroom soup was delicious. The BLT sandwich used fresh bread, homemade mayo, and crisp bacon. The tomatoes seemed a little mealy, but other than that it was great. The price was very reasonable considering it is all made fresh and locally. -
