As a Diabetic candy is like the forbidden fruit and I find it hard to stay away from something I love so much, we're talking junk food junkie lol. I'm sure you must have heard that voice in your head screaming WHY!!! when you found out you could no longer eat your favorite gluten foods anymore. Candy was and still is my downfall....or is it?
The Candy Meister food truck is Vancouver's first and ONLY food truck to serve a delicious array of all natural, gluten free, dairy free, corn free and vegan friendly hard candies. Founded by Elisa and Max, a young couple from Berlin who started out as a vendor known as the Traditional German Candy Hut in 2012, while at a Christmas market they made tons of sales and love from their customers, furthering the inspiration that created The Candy Meister :)
Fruit flavored candy is a favorite of mine so "Sweet Raspberry" is one of the candies we went with and really liked the fact that these candies weren't too sweet or too sour as some fruit candies are. As well as the fact that the ingredients are all natural, yay! We really are trying to live a more natural lifestyle and this surely does help us stay on track!
Another fruit flavored candy we went with was the "Sugar Free Lemon Drops" which had the same similarities as the raspberry, regarding sweet and tangy :) These do however have carbohydrates!! So Diabetics you need to watch your amounts! Other popular flavors include "Little Fruities" , "Woodruff" & "Mulled Wine" which consists of vanilla and cinnamon flavors. As well as "Fizzy 'dance in your mouth' Candies". Yum!
Seeing as Winter is closer than ever, I did the smart thing and chose "Sugar Free Throat Drops" that are made with herbal extracts the same as they used years ago for medicine such as sage, peppermint oil and licorice which contains proven antibacterial qualities :) Candy Meister also offer a "Fire Throat" candy to help soothe aching, burning throats, to get you through those nasty colds! They really do have you covered in all areas :)
I love this quote from Max Szelies (Founder), "We love seeing the smiles on our customers faces when they taste our candy. And the best part is that aren't made with any artificial colors or flavors. Our candies use all natural ingredients and we're strongly opposed to using any genetically modified food products"! The word "Genetically Modified" doesn't sound very appealing to me, so I'm thankful to have companies, better yet individuals who own companies, who care about what people eat because THEY believe in health before profit :)
If you're looking for an adventurous taste the lovely folks at Candy Meister suggest trying "Bavarian Malt", "Sage" or "Fennel" to give your taste buds a delectable treat. The Candy Meister is not limited to moving wheels, people across Canada can order from the e-commerce shop: ORDER HERE where shipping is FREE on purchases over $59 (Canada only) and Prices are advertised right there beside the product on their website just like shopping in the store :) You can also find the ingredient listings for their many candies there.

Prior to March 2010, I never even knew what a "Back problem" felt like but after having my son, I have felt it everyday since, no joke!! Which the doctor believes it to be Arthritis. It is some really intense pain at times. I am about to tell you about a product that has honestly eased a lot of my pain in the lower back area. Its called Deep Relief Heat Spray by Mentholatum. Now well all the pain is not completely gone, at least I can get through the day without wanting to cry.
It now comes in a handy spray bottle which is less messy and way more convenient. It goes on very cold but warm's up quickly to give you fast active, long relief from sore/achy muscles. Deep Relief is believed to increase blood flow and immediately start working to relieve pain. I find it has a mild peppermint smell to it which is enjoyable compared to most of these types of products.
I really love that I can apply it on myself without anyone's help. Also as another bonus for it being in a spray format is for those times your skin/muscles are just too sensitive/sore to touch, you can just spray it on without any contact :)
Deep Relief makes Topical Analgesics products which ingredients are quickly absorbed into your skin. Let me tell ya, this Spray beats an Ice Pack or Frozen peas any-day :)

What is Elite Serum you ask? I asked myself the same thing at first. It is a needle-free Anti-aging serum that defends, protects and rejuvenate's your skin. It comes in an airless syringe that dispenses the proper amount of Product and is way more sanitary this way, especially when not in use. I am much more happy that it comes looking like a needle rather then having to get a real needle in my face to get similar results, best of all is you can do it in the comfort of your own home!
The product is made to reduce the visibility of dark circles, eye wrinkles and other skin issues regarding the eye/forehead area. It's been mentioned on Dr.Oz, It really is an Anti-Aging breakthough. It smells like a light perfume and other face creams (which is a smell I enjoy). I love that it really doesn't take much, only a pea-sized amount is more then enough for both eyes. I am only 28 but I can already begin to see "expression lines" I think they call it.
It comes with a card for "new" customers such as myself, with some key points to enhance our experience and avoid any malfunctions with the syringe. Elite Serum Rx is only available directly through their website and is approx $89.95. There is enough product for about 2 months, given you use it twice daily.

We’re coffee addicts in this house. The coffee pot is ready and set for when we wake up and it don’t rest until we go to bed , lol. So we were extremely happy to be given the opportunity to test out a few different blends of coffee by Melitta
I’m sure I said it before; I love flavored coffee, but the wife is a bit more particular with her likes in coffee ;) I was super excited that we were sent Estate Whole Bean Hazelnut Creme coffee beans as one of the products to review :) I never ground my own coffee beans before so I was excited to try it out and was amazed at how fine it came out! The delicious aroma of the beans alone are enough to make your mouth water but the best aroma is in the air, I love walking in the house to the smell of hazelnut coffee! I tasted many flavored creamers and nothing comes close to the taste of fresh ground flavored beans :)
Coffee is essential in the morning here, especially with the little one up at 6:30 and raring to go. Melitta’s Costa Rican Tarrazu roasted ground coffee is a wonder with it’s mild roast and distinctive columbian taste. This is actually a coffee that my wife and I agree will be on our grocery list.
Another great product by Melitta is their Dark Roast ground coffee. This is a great perk up for the morning as well with a nice strong taste to definitely give you the kick we all need now and then.
Not only does Melitta make delicious coffee they also make all natural Bamboo coffee filters. Have you ever had cheap filters that left you with grinds? These Bamboo filters are thicker making them more durable they work just as great draining the coffee as the thin filters do! Since trees are a renewable source, Melitta makes a yearly donation to the Canadian Forestry Association to renew this resource for future generations.

I was introduced to this great company in the USA called Kids & Pets. They make Kids & Pets Instant all-purpose stain & odor remover, like no other. I actually have a great little story to tell you about this product. The day it arrived was the same day that our beloved family dog of 12 years had to sadly be put down :( It was a very sad day for us all. It just so happens that she had peed in my mom's huge area rug the night before (because she had certain bladder problems and couldn't always hold it) and my mom was just going to throw it away because it smelt bad and she didn't have anything to clean it with until now! So getting back to how Kids 'n' Pets really saved this rug and let me still have something that would always remind me of my fur baby♥ (because I am now the owner of the rug :D ..) We soaked it with product and let it for about 10-15 minutes then scrubbed it, rinsed it and let it dry! Then we wanted to be extra sure AND it smells so good, we sprayed the rug 1 more time with kids 'n' pets before bringing it to our house.
I honestly couldn't believe it took the smell of pet urine completely away. You know when you get your car cleaned and it smells like Cherry? That is exactly what this product smells like :) I love it. The bottle is huge and you don't need much of it to get great, fresh smelling results. Unfortunately this product is not yet available in Canada but they are slowly working on getting over here. Buy KIDS 'N' PETS on Amazon: http://amzn.to/etHmoW
Kids & Pets have been seen on different Mommy blogs, newspapers, magazines and on tv shows nationwide. They also have a 5-star rating on amazon.com. The absolute best part of this product (other than it really does remove odors) is it's Non-Toxic, Biodegradable and cruelty-free. All KIDS ‘N’ PETS products naturally eliminates urine, vomit, feces and most food and beverage stains and odors from carpets, clothing, upholstery, mattresses and more!

I first noticed this lovely Bladder Leakage issue when I was jumping on the trampoline this summer with the kids, so I was really happy to hear about these Poise absorbency Pads and even more happy to know I am not alone with this problem. Bladder Leakage happens in 1 of 3 woman. I was fortunate enough to have the chance to test them out from the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club. Thank you guys so much!
I just have to say that the first thing that caught my eye was the pretty purple packaging and the discreet single packs of each pad. They fit perfectly in my purse and is no bigger than an ordinary period pad! They are a little bit bulky for what I need but the great thing is they are odorless and really do mask any smell there should be. I would definitely recommend these Poise pads to anyone with medium bladder leakage. They are a great price of approx $7.99 for 20 pads. They also have coupons out there so you can get it even cheaper!
I previously tried Poise Panty Liners and loved them so they are definitely a company that I love to promote! I even shared these pads with my aunt who also has LBL and she was impressed with them also. She said she's definitely switching brands!!

Aren't these just the cutest little things ever? They are called Tummy Stuffers. What is it you ask? It is basically a stuffed animal that You stuff (not with stuffing) but with stuff, toys, blankets & more. You can even used them for sleepovers.

My son was beyond happy and excited when this review came in and so was I to be honest. How adorable is this little thing? His name is Lincoln the Lion. What is a "Seat Pet" you ask? It is a furry, lovable pet that you can bring on car rides so when the kids fall asleep in those really uncomfortable positions, they have something comfy to rest their little heads on! Their cute over-sized heads can be used a pillow and they also come with a velcro strap that turns the Seat Pet into a backpack. It has a zippered pocket on the side for storing little goodies and 2 pouches on the font for other things.
If you are a parent, you've must have had a child fall asleep in the car and you know exactly what I mean by this "uncomfortable position where their little heads are bobbing around. Well this awesome companion will prevent this from happening. Now they will be able to nap in comfort and it might actually make them wake up in a good mood :) When Riley seen this on T.V, right away he stated how much he loved them and he "just needed it" as he said (giggles). He also sings this made up song he put together hehe. Kids are so cute. Seat Pets are made to go across your chest on the seat belt. So buckle up and have yourself a nice cuddle♥.
They also have multiple purposes. I have put it on the front of my son's Elmo Scooter so he can ride around and show off his new buddy!!! We are always looking for new ways to bring him with us!!! I have even strapped him on the broom and mop to make the house cleaning a little more fun!!!!
You can find this other cute characters online here for approx $19.99 :

Oxy Emergency Acne Vanishing Wipes
These great little wipes work rapidly on contact killing bacteria and instantly unclogging your pores. Oxy wipes are clinically proven to help heal acne breakouts and prevent new ones from occurring. Best of all they are dermatologically tested. They come in a pack of 30 medicated wipes for a month-long supply and have a convenient resealable flap. They are the perfect size to store in your purse, for those emergency cases :) trust me. I had a head cold the day they arrived and it just so happen that I got a pimple that really hurt on my nose to top it all off. I used the wipe to clean my nose and the next day I can honestly say it was barely there and didn't even hurt anymore.
The wipes are just the perfect size to cleanse your face and perfectly moist as well. My face got slightly warm during the time I was cleaning "the affected" area :) but it was easy to get used to, kinda nice actually. It's alcohol-free formula prevents your skin from drying out and causing the redness that sometimes occurs.
What I love about it all is the fact that it smells good, unlike other acne wipes or washes which can sometimes make you feel over powered by harsh chemicals but these have a nice light fragrance to them.

The awesome folks at would love to give you this awesome prize pack

Q: What is the KD Cloth?
A: Use the KD Cloth to clean virtually anything in your home without chemicals or costly paper towels.
It also cleans and polishes all hard surfaces. Great for cleaning your car, motorcycle and RVs...No more wiping over and over again!
We were recently given the opportunity to try out this great multi-use cloth from the lovely Canadian folks at KD Cloth At first I was a little skeptical on how this cloth would actually work like the packaging said. I have used similar ones in the past, claiming to do all of the same things as this cloth does but with no such luck. Also most cloths should be thrown out either immediately or shortly after using it, unlike this awesome KC Cloth that can be washed and re-used. Saving you money!
I can honestly say that I am 100% impressed with my results, It's completely streak-free, spot-free and lint-free. The KD Cloth guarantees to absolutely, positively never streak Glass, Mirrors or Windows. The only "Cleaner" you'll ever need with this product is water. Yup you heard me correctly :) This is a great start to living a Greener lifestyle.
Here is a list of ideas that you can use the KD Cloth for: Cars, Windshields, Chrome, Glass, Acrylic, Vinyl, Computer Screens, Mirrors, Tvs, Countertops, Glasses, Rims, Tiles, Microwaves, Leather, Stainless Steel, Aquariums, Plastic and so much more. It's a great product to have on hand if you own a Garage or "Man Cave" :P Simply- Wet it - Wring it out - Wipes Any surface clean...And that's it. So easy to use!
It will remove unwanted Bugs, Tar, Grease, Fingerprints, Soap scum and any general dirt & oil. I found it had that same feel as those "Bibs" they put on us at the Dentist Office (you know what I mean?)
As I mentioned above, the only cleaner you'll ever need with this cloth is water. Here's a Tip: Do Not dry your glass or mirrors, they will dry streak-free all on their own. The secret to all of this is the tiny fibers, up to 200 times thinner than human hair, which traps and absorbs any dirt or oils. And the best part is, it's not expensive, $5 and will save you a bunch of money because you don't need to buy all sorts of cleaners, if you have running water around somewhere your good to go :)
They are 100% GUARANTEED -
Everything they sell is fully guaranteed. If you’re not satisfied, whatever the reason, return the item to them for an exchange or a full refund.
