Tetley Cleanse Lemon Balm & Honey Herbal Tea
I think the other reviewer here is mistaken....it is not a "cleanse" tea in a "clean-you-out-inside-and-detox-you" or a "clean-you-out-inside-and-cause-you-to-go-to-the-washroom" tea, it is more of a "cleanse your mind and soul" type tea. It is... +
I think the other reviewer here is mistaken....it is not a "cleanse" tea in a "clean-you-out-inside-and-detox-you" or a "clean-you-out-inside-and-cause-you-to-go-to-the-washroom" tea, it is more of a "cleanse your mind and soul" type tea. It is heavenly! I used to buy it all the time, and it tastes so sweet on its own, like honey, so you can have a wonderfully sweet cup of tea without having to any any sugar. I love the scent, and the flavour. Walmart Canada used to carry it online, though, and now they don't, which is really too bad. I have seen it at Sobeys, but, outside of that, it is hard to find for some reason. Wish I could find it more easily. -
Lipton Pure Green Tea Bags
Confession: I'm more of a black tea drinker, by far, but once in a while I like some green tea, too. I often find that green tea is bitter in a way that black isn't, but this green tea wasn't - it had a nice, fresh, crisp taste, without any... +
Confession: I'm more of a black tea drinker, by far, but once in a while I like some green tea, too. I often find that green tea is bitter in a way that black isn't, but this green tea wasn't - it had a nice, fresh, crisp taste, without any bitterness. I will buy again in the future! -
Twinings Chai French Vanilla

This is a very interesting twist on the classic chai....I think its one of my new favourites. I like how the vanilla balances out the spicy parts (like cloves). I've always loved, loved, loved a good cup of classic chai, so I wasn't sure if I'd like the addition of vanilla, but I do. As I said, it just balances out the spiciness of the chair. It's lovely, and makes for a full taste....everything from sweet to spicy. With Christmas coming up, I think it'd also make a lovely tea to serve at parties and such...after all, cinnoman and cloves are tastes that are connected with Christmas-time. With cream and honey, this is divine! -
Tetley Orange Pekoe Bold
I love this one. I've a huge tea drinker, and this has a lovely, strong taste. Nothing weak or watery about it at all. I also like that it is strong, without being bitter. A full-bodied taste, and the price is very reasonable, too. I will be buying... +
I love this one. I've a huge tea drinker, and this has a lovely, strong taste. Nothing weak or watery about it at all. I also like that it is strong, without being bitter. A full-bodied taste, and the price is very reasonable, too. I will be buying this again, for sure. I'm not saying that teas that are less bold are bad....I love all black teas, and sometimes I'm in the mood for a stronger one, sometimes I'm in the mood for a gentler taste. But I am saying that, when I feel like a strong cup, this is a lovely choice. -
Nexxus® Youth Renewal Shampoo

I like that the scent is light...not a fan of heavy scents. And it is a beautiful scent, too! It smells like...I don't know how to explain it...it smells like salon shampoo, not drugstore shampoo. A rich scent. Works well, leaves me hair more smooth and bouncy than other shampoos! Only downside is the bottle is fairly small, and it's a bit expensive. But don't let that detour you - just wait for a sale, or splurge on it! -
Noxzema Plus Moisturizers Deep Cleansing Cream
I'm loving this! Where I live, there are long, long, cold, dry winters....not much summer at all. It's very drying to my skin. I find that this helps so much to keep my skin looking nice and hydrated. I love it! Price is great, too. Can't beat a... +
I'm loving this! Where I live, there are long, long, cold, dry winters....not much summer at all. It's very drying to my skin. I find that this helps so much to keep my skin looking nice and hydrated. I love it! Price is great, too. Can't beat a classic thing like Noxema. I like that it is a classic that has stood the test of time. -
Polysporin® Cold Sore Healing Patch

It's hard to review this....on one hand, it does offer a great benefit (which is that you can use them when you sleep, which keep the sore from cracking and getting cold-sore-germ all over your pillow, which is important, because cold sores are SUPER contagious, and, yes, you can spread them to yourself if you touch it and then touch your lip/face/other unmentionable areas, and then you will have more than one infection). But, on the other hand, there is NO medicinal ingrediants in these patches....people seem to think there is, but there is not. Okay, that, in and of itself, is okay - after all, they do a good job of keeping the sore from spreading, so, that's a good thing, and they don't need to do more than that by adding medicinal ingrediants (by medicinal ingrediants, I mean something that would help heal the sore, like Abreva does).
But. But...how the heck do they get away with charning 20 dollars for 15 tiny tiny patches?? That's over a dollar a patch! And the patches are nothing...just little circles of something that looks like tape.
I guess, my feeling on them is this: they do a great job of keeping the sore from spreading & causing more new infections, but they are so over-priced it is insane.
What I do is buy them, but only wear them at night. Who can afford to wear them all the time? Cold sores can last up to two weeks, and the patches only last about 8 hours....you do the math, and you'll find wearing them all the time is crazy crazy expensive.
As I said, due to the insane cost, I only wear them at night. During the day, I use some kind of cream, like Abreva or one of those Lysiene creams. This works for me, because all the patch does (since it has no medicinal ingrediants) is stop the sore from spreading....to me, the most important time to wear them is nighttime, since I might touch it in my sleep and spread it around, and because I don't want the virus all over my pillow cases (after all, it is herpes...."cold sore" is just the nice name for it, it is really a form of herpes). During the day, I use some kind of cream, and just remember not to touch my sore. I use a q-tip to apply the creams, so I don't have to touch the sore.
I will buy these again, because I feel I need them for when I sleep, but I am horrified by the price, especially considering they have no medicinal value. I swear, I am going to try and make home-made ones out of duct tape or something!

Does what it says it will do! It's nice not to worry when I wear dark clothing, and the scent was pleasant. Some here said the scent wasn't like rain, and, well, I guess that each of us just smells things differently, becaues it did smell like rain to me....like the way the air and wet earth smell after a good storm. Very nice smell which didn't bother me or trigger a headache as some strong scents do. -

I have naturally wavy hair that I sometimes like to brush out and try and make straight, and sometimes like to scrunch up and make curlier. My hair is also really long, which seems to pull some of the curl out, which means I need a mousee or something to get the curl to stay in....and this did the trick! I like that the scent wasn't too strong, and that it didn't make my hair fake looking and stiff and crunchy. -

I'm not vegan, but, many moons ago, I was almost vegan, and I still like to eat heart-healthy things, so I gave it a whirl. I didn't personally like the taste, but that's just me. I'm not going to rate it badly just because I wasn't crazy about the taste (because that is my personal taste - it doesn't reflect badly on the product). Quality and price were great! If I'd liked the taste, I would have purchased it again, but, as I said, just not my cup of tea. But you may like it! -
