I have been a fan of Ferrero Rocher chocolate for decades(!). While my heart will always be with the classic foil wrapped ball chocolates, this is a nice new addition to the product line. The outer shell is a firm, rich chocolate embossed with the Ferrero Rocher logo. Inside is a creamy hazelnut filling with nut pieces and crispy bits. The texture is a mix of lush chocolate and the crunchy nuts and crispy wafer pieces. The amount of crispy texture was a surprise. My favourite is the dark chocolate - I found the white chocolate version to be too sweet. Overall they are very good, but I still prefer the texture and format of the original chocolate and nut-coated wafer balls that are filled with creamy filling and a whole hazelnut! -

Even though I know certain foods affect my digestive system, sometimes it's hard to resist - especially if I'm eating out, at a family gathering, or on a special occasion. In those cases where I find bloating and gas after a meal this is helpful to reduce the discomfort. The only thing to take notice of is the timing, I make sure to take it a couple hours before or after any other medications or supplements - and it's not a long term fix, but a once in a while type thing! -

This HexBug Skitterbot Spider is pretty fun for ages 4+. It comes with battery installed, so just open and play! My son has a few HexBots, and they're good for solo play. or play with friends. It is lightweight and not noisy (a bonus for parents!). The Skitterbot is "all terrain" and we can confirm it works on carpet and hard surfaces. This would be a great gift for any kid who likes bugs, robots, moving toys, and/or science! -

One tablet a day, it's so easy to make sure your nutrition is complete with this vitamin specifically designed for women under 50. It includes the usual suspects, but also iron, cranberry, folic acid, and lutein for eye health. I just take one with my breakfast and feel like I've got a healthy start to my day. -
Hardbite - Yam It Up
I would buy these again in a heartbeat. They are sweet from the natural sugars in the yam and sweet potato, have just the right amount of salt, and have a crunch that is totally satisfying. A new favourite! - Product gifted by Hardbite.

I wanted to like this. I have noticed, with aging, a few wrinkles developing on my neck and decolletage, a little less firmness to the skin. So I had high hopes for this cream which contains bakuchiol. I have used it about a week which isn't really enough time to see any firming effects. But this isn't why I don't like it. There are two reasons: the first is the way it feels on the skin. It smooths on alright, similar to a sunscreen, but quickly becomes sticky and unpleasant to the touch as it soaks in. This feeling stays for hours. The second is the smell, which is light but vaguely chemical. It's not a scented product; this is the smell of the cream. I think if they'd added a light scent it would mask this smell, but as is it is not a pleasant product to use. -
