Neutrogena All-in-One Make-Up Removing Cleansing Wipes
Gently removes makeup without being overly harsh on your skin. I like to sleep with a clean and bare face so I rinse after using the towelettes but it is not necessary for everyone ... just my preference. Would recommend to others!

St. Ives® Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub
I love the Apricot Scrub! It is the perfect consistency in my opinion and the texture makes for a really good cleanser. Leaves skin feeling smooth and clean. A must for anyone looking for a reliable exfoliant!

I really do not like to shave but unfortunately I have extremely hairy legs so it is a necessity. My legs get stubbly the same day after I have shaved so it always turns out to be a disappointing experience. I get the same result with fresh blades as with used. I liked the Venus Breeze because shaving was a nice experience for once. I avoided the nicks that are a usual part of the ritual for me and I did not have any irritation. The only down side is the price. Would recommend for others to try! -

I enjoy using Olay moisturizer because it goes on light and for the most part, is absorbed well by my skin. I tend to have oily skin so I generally tend to stay away from moisturizers because all they seem to do is sit on my skin. Instead of improving my appearance, they leave my face feeling greasy and looking as if I am sweating excessively because the lotion remains on the surface. However, sometimes my skin gets dry occasionally and that is when I like to apply moisturizer. Olay works well for me and I would recommend it to others. -

Sweet, salty, chewy, crunchy ... and a layer of chocolate!
These bars check all the boxes when it comes to what I look for in a granola snack.
Quinoa is a new favorite and I am happy to see that Quaker has found a way to incorporate it into their product line.
The addition of almonds, sunflower seeds and peanuts are a bonus which I appreciate.
I have recently reduced my sugar intake, so that may be why I found these Harvest Crunch bars to be sweet.
By no means does it make the bars too sweet to eat, but I think I will have a cold glass of milk with my next bar.
The texture was satisfying with a good balance of crispy and chewy. However I have tried other sweet and salty granola snacks in the past which I would prefer to this bar.
As others have mentioned, the nutritional value of the Quaker Quinoa Bars is disappointing as is the sheer number of ingredients in the product.
I would recommend Quaker Harvest Crunch Quinoa Bars to others but it is unlikely that I would purchase them.
I think there are other granola snacks on the market that suit my taste buds better and are more affordable.
I received this product free to test.

I only truly appreciated this product once the bottle was finished and I tried a different brand.
I took for granted that it worked so well and was such an effective cream until I tried a similar product that did not work at all.
I am unsure whether L'Oreal still produces this item or whether it has been re-branded as the Nutri-Sleek Thermo Protection Cream. Regardless, it gets my recommendation!
I will be sorely disappointed if I am unable to purchase a replacement because it was a thoroughly pleasing product that surpassed my expectations.

I usually like to cook from scratch but I bought this rice when I lived at a place with no kitchen, just a microwave.
So I was skeptical.
But the Uncle Ben's Bistro Express rice really surprised me! I tried the Long Grain & Wild - Roasted Chicken flavour and it exceeded my expectations.
The rice took 90 seconds to cook and it was done perfectly! The rice was light, fluffy, and most importantly for me, did not contain too much salt.
The only negative was that the whole pouch was extremely hot after cooking and I did not find the Cool Touch area to be very effective. I was eager to eat and may not have waited a suitable length of time before handling the pouch but I would suggest giving it about 10 seconds.
Overall, I was impressed with Uncle Ben's Bistro Express rice and would recommend it to others!

I have always used tampons with applicators but these seemed intriguing because of the discreet size and less package waste.
However, I just could not apply these correctly; I find applicators so much more efficient for me.
I do have O.B. Tampons as an emergency supply since I was able to get a case for them and I think it is so easy to carry them in your purse or pocket in a pinch.
I would recommend these tampons to someone with patience and/or long fingers.

I am not a fan of dark chocolate and try to avoid it at all costs.
However, Lindt dark chocolate truffles are the exception. I actually prefer the dark to the milk chocolate.
Same great texture and quality cocoa, but not as sweet.
I never thought, if given the choice, I would ever prefer dark chocolate to milk chocolate but Lindt has done it.
The dark truffle still has sweetness to it but it is not bitter which makes all the difference to my taste buds!
The melt in your mouth quality won me over the first time I ever tasted Lindt chocolate and it is my go-to brand.
