Pecan butter tarts are one of my all-time favourite treats, and I've always been a fan of Chapman's. Needless to say, this is a winner!
The ice cream itself is sweet and reminiscent of maple syrup. I love the praline pecans and buttery crumbly sugar cookie pieces; it's exactly like the crust of a butter tart! There's even a gooey, syrupy swirl to tie it all together! Hope this stays permanent in the Chapman's lineup, because I'm a BIG fan!

The green apple flavor is crisp, bright and sweet without being too syrupy. I did expect it to be a bit stronger in flavour, but the fact that there's no artificial sweetener aftertaste definitely improves things. I'm very excited to try the other Balloon water flavours now!

I'm a big fan of both gummy Candy and a classic Negroni, so I already knew these would be up my alley! This is such a fun and unique way to enjoy the drink, without the hangover because there's no alcohol in them! They have a great chewy texture and flavour that isn't too sweet. Can't wait to try the other flavours!

This a new addition to my skincare routine, but it's quickly become a winter staple! It's like a tall drink of water for the dry, dehydrated skin I've had since the first snowfall.
It has a lightweight, serum texture that layers beautifully under my usual moisturizer. Think of it like a primer. Upon first application, I FELT the difference; and now I'm seeing a visible difference after just a few days! My skin looks healthy, plump and HYDRATED. This is a 10/10, and it being from a Canadian business makes me love it even more!

I truly don't know how I managed my naturally wavy hair before having a curl defining brush! The combination of bristle types do es great job combing out any tangles, and defining each strand so I have gorgeous, bouncy curls with very little effort! I also love that the handle works as a tool to section my hair, so I don't need to dig around my bathroom for a comb. Having tried a cheaper curl defining brush before, I can confidently say this one takes the cake!

I switched to period underweara few years ago, but it's nice to know I can rely on Joni pads in a pinch (like when you're away from home without access to a washing machine). These overnight pads are the perfect length to stop leaks (shoutout to my fellow front bleeders), and they didn't bunch up even while I tossed and turned. I also appreciate the fact that this has two sets of wings, so it really stayed in place!
But what impressed me the most was how thin these are! They don't have the thick, sleeping bag quality that most overnight pads are notorious for. I barely noticed it while wearing one; which means they also didn't irritate my skin like other pads have in the past. I cannot recommend these enough if you're looking for a pleasant period experience (aren't we all?!)

Always love a new chip flavour, and this did not disappoint! These have a great crunch and texture, and aren't too greasy. I wasn't sure how I felt about Turkey Stuffing as a chip flavour, but I was pleasantly surprised by the familiar taste of gravy and homemade stuffing. giving this 4 stars only because it could use a teensy bit more flavour. Otherwise, I'd happily pick up another bag in the future!

This was a great game that got our family off the couch!
While we only have one child, we still made the 'adults vs kids' style challenges work for us. we liked the variety of games this offers and it definitely brought out a ton of giggles!
My only critique is that the instructions run through quickly and don't have an option to repeat - so you definitely need to be alert and pay attention!
Will be bringing this out for future playdates and parties!

I really wanted to love this, but it unfortunately missed the mark for me.
I tried this on a days with just mascara, and on full glam days; no matter what I had on, it just didnt fully emulsify the makeup like other cleansing balms do. And I'm not wearing anything waterproof or especially difficult to remove. Which leads me to my next point...
Every time I used this, it left an unpleasant greasy residue on my skin. I know it's recommended to use this as the first step in a double-cleanse, but I often needed a triple cleanse just to get it off my face. It didn't feel particularly moisturizing either, though maybe this is just better suited to drier skin types (I have combination skin).
I'm optimistic that this Canadian brand has other products that will work for me.
