I'm not sure this does a whole lot for my fine, straight, limp hair. First of all, I don't love the bottle and trigger design. It's sort of awkward to use and I wish it were an aerosol can instead. The product itself makes my hair greasy quicker than normal (which is pretty fast to begin with) so I have to try to avoid getting this on my roots. That's not easy with the trigger style. The product sprays pretty evenly though and covers a large area with a pleasant smell. It's hard to tell if it actually protects the hair but I haven't noticed my ends overly dry or breaking more than normal so I'd say it probably works ok. I don't use this consistently though and prefer the heat tamer volume mousse vs this spray. I'm not blown away by this product and find it just average. Not bad if you're on a budget or need something in a pinch but I'll definitely shop around. -
TRESemmé Thermal Creations Volumizing Mousse

As far as a mousse goes it works pretty well. I have fine, straight, limp hair so any mousse adds volume. This one isn't exceptional but it's not bad. It's nice that it has heat protection up to 450 degrees F because I often use it with my curling wand. It did make my hair a little sticky when wet and sort of waxy when dry (probably from the heat protecting soy), but it's not too bad. You may not notice it if you have thicker or curly hair. Overall, it's not a bad product but not groundbreaking. I'd consider buying it again but it wouldn't be my go to volumizing mousse right now. -

This is a pretty good cream to put on at night if you have dry skin. At first it can feel a bit silky from the almond oil etc. (not really oily) but I find it absorbs quickly. I have oily skin (borrowed this from my mom) so for me it was a bit too moisturizing but if you have aged or dry skin, especially in the winter, this is great. It does leave your face pretty soft and is reasonably priced for a night cream. Not too strong smelling either. -

So far I've used this conditioner twice (just on my ends) and both times it left my hair soft and shiny. I have fine, straight hair which is normally oily and needs to be washed every two days. I've also dyed and bleached it before so the ends are pretty split and damaged. This conditioner makes them soft and healthy looking without weighing them down and making them too limp. After the first use I had a student compliment my hair so it must be working! The smell is great...sort of a powdery sweet honey scent that leaves your hair and hands smelling so good after. I can't wait to try the shampoo. At $4.99 this is a pretty good conditioner. Also, be sure to look for coupons for this because there are tons floating around online. -
NIVEA Essential Lip Balm
I really like this Chapstick when I need some everyday care for my lips. It's not too strong and doesn't have that cooling effect of ones like blistex so it's great as an all the time lip moisturizer. It goes on creamy and smooth and doesn't taste/... +
I really like this Chapstick when I need some everyday care for my lips. It's not too strong and doesn't have that cooling effect of ones like blistex so it's great as an all the time lip moisturizer. It goes on creamy and smooth and doesn't taste/ smell too strong. On tube lasts for months so it's totally worth the price. -

McCain Breakfast Homefries
These are great if you're trying to save on time or need to feed a lot of people. They're way easier than peeling and dicing your own potatoes which can be annoying first thing in the morning. They cook in a resonance amount of time and crisp up... +

I'm on a low sugar diet so these things are pretty good. I tried the coconut pineapple flavour and, if I'm being honest, mixed it with white rum to make an awesome pina colada drink. A little goes a long way so this bottle will last you a while. It's pretty sweet so start off with less. -

I love quest bars for so many reasons. They're low in carbohydrates which makes them great for people doing a Keto diet or watching their sugar, they have few ingredients so you know what's in them, and they taste great! I've tried almost every flavour and my favourite are Cookies and Cream, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and Pumpkin Pie. Their mint chocolate is also really good. Bonus: you can bake them into cookies which is particularly good with the cookie dough flavour. They're easy to bring on the go and keep you satiated for hours. If you're looking for a great protein bar I'd recommend Quest in a second. -

This is my favourite brand of nail polish! I've tried all of them and this one is the most consistent. I have almost every colour they make. They all dry quick, go on smooth and opaque, and are pretty inexpensive. I love the wide brush because it applies the polish in less strokes. They are also great for nail stamping because they are strong in pigment and not translucent so they almost never require more than one coat. Seriously love it! -
