I really enjoyed trying the new Ferrero chocolate squares. The chocolate is smooth and creamy, and the crunchy crispies inside give them such a satisfying texture. I also liked that each piece is individually wrapped and has the Ferrero emblem on it which makes them feel a bit more premium.
The assortment comes with milk hazelnut, dark hazelnut, and white hazelnut flavours. Geremie’s favourite was the dark chocolate because it wasn’t too bitter, while I personally loved the classic milk hazelnut and white hazelnut flavours most.
We already buy Ferrero chocolates pretty often, so it was nice getting to try this new product line and I could definitely see us picking these up again

I brought this hot sauce to a family birthday party and ended up using it way more than I expected. Filipino parties always have a lot of food, so it was perfect for trying it with different dishes.
It tasted especially good with siomai. The heat is noticeable but not overpowering, more smooth than intense. You can actually taste the black truffle, which gives it a richer flavour than typical hot sauces.
I liked that it adds depth instead of just spice and makes simple food feel a bit more elevated.
Thanks to Butterly and Truffles and Circumstances for letting me try it. Definitely something I would keep using, especially at gatherings.

I tried the Farming Karma Sparkling Apricot Soda for the first time and honestly I was surprised by how refreshing it tasted. The fizz is light and crisp and the sweetness feels natural from the fruit instead of being overly sugary like some sodas. You can really taste the apricot flavour which makes it feel different from a typical soft drink.
I also like that it’s made with real fruit and simple ingredients. It feels like a great option for summer when you want something cold and refreshing but not too heavy or sweet. Definitely something I would reach for again.

I tried the Nam Fruits dried mangoes with my mom and they were our favourite from the three flavours we received. Growing up Filipino mangoes are one of our favourite snacks so it meant a lot that she really enjoyed these too.
The mangoes tasted naturally sweet and fruity without being overly sugary. The texture was soft and chewy and they truly tasted like real mango instead of artificial fruit snacks.
As someone from Southeast Asia the flavour felt very familiar and comforting. I would definitely keep these as a snack at home or bring them with me when I am on the go. I would recommend them to anyone who enjoys real tropical fruit flavours.

Geremie and I tried the Sixteen Grains Pancake Mix and it was really easy to make together at home. The batter came together quickly and the pancakes cooked up nicely without needing anything complicated.
We added a little vanilla extract to the mix and topped our pancakes with strawberries bananas and maple syrup. They turned out soft and filling and were perfect for sharing as a relaxed breakfast together. Really delicious.
We also like that the mix is proudly Canadian made and each bag makes enough pancakes for more than just one serving which makes it great when you are cooking for two or for family.
It’s an easy option to keep on hand when you want homemade pancakes without starting from scratch. The Sixteen Grains Pancake Mix is available online and in stores at Healthy Planet along with the rest of their products.

I’ve started taking NOW Ultra Omega 3 softgels daily as part of my routine to support heart health and cognitive function. This actually came at a really good time because I’m focusing more on getting fit right now after learning my blood pressure is high so adding omega 3s into my routine feels like a positive step.
I also appreciate that they don’t leave a fishy aftertaste which makes them easy to stay consistent with. It’s great knowing they’re packaged in Guelph Ontario using post consumer recycled plastic as well.
You can find them at health food stores across Canada and through Canadian online health retailers.

Myoflex Maximum Strength Pain Relief Cream came at the perfect time because my grandmother was having pain in her hand and we actually filmed her trying it. She told me it helped ease the discomfort which made this one feel extra meaningful to share.
I also like that it’s non greasy and menthol free so it feels comfortable to use during the day without that strong scent. It absorbs nicely and doesn’t leave stains which makes it practical to keep around at home.
It’s a Canadian made product that delivers targeted relief and you can find it online on Amazon.ca Exzellshop.com or at local pharmacies across Canada.

I’ve tried quite a few products from Hatch Coffee and this Maple Oatado is definitely my favourite so far. I love that it uses oat milk and real maple syrup because it gives it that smooth slightly sweet Canadian twist that feels comforting but still has that espresso strength kick.
It’s also a small travel friendly pack which makes it perfect to bring along when I need a quick coffee on the go. I like keeping a few handy for busy days when I don’t have time to stop somewhere.
It’s great supporting a Canadian crafted coffee option like this and you can grab it online at hatchcrafted.com or in person at Little Harvest Market.

I really enjoyed this oatmeal. It has a warm cinnamon flavour that comes through nicely without being too strong, and I love that it is not overly sweet. The use of date powder instead of refined sugar is a big plus for me and gives it a natural sweetness that tastes just right.
It is also very filling thanks to the high fibre and protein, which makes it perfect for busy mornings. I can see myself having this as part of my regular breakfast routine.
The only thing I would improve is the portion size, as I wish each packet was just a little bigger.
Overall, this is a tasty and nutritious option.

Both of my dogs are over ten now, so I’m always a little more mindful about what treats I give them. We recently tried Auntie Kim’s Kanine Kookies Flower Power treats and they were a hit. My girls were happy to show off their sit and paw to earn one.
What I like most is that these treats include pumpkin and turmeric, which can help support digestion and provide natural anti-inflammatory benefits. That’s especially nice for older dogs that may deal with joint stiffness or arthritis. They’re also gentle on sensitive stomachs and even suitable for dogs on vegan diets.
They’re made in Ontario with Canadian ingredients, which is always a plus for me. The treats are also segmented, making them easy to break into smaller pieces for training or portion control. The new packaging is bright, easy to reseal, and keeps everything fresh.
It feels good giving my senior dogs something they clearly enjoy that also has some thoughtful ingredients behind it.
