I was chosen to try and test out the new A2 Milk for my honest thoughts and opinions.
Believe it or not, there is a difference between A2 milk and other milk. Regular milk from cows contains protein, casein and whey. Approximately 1/3 of protein in cows milk is beta-casein which includes both A1 and A2 beta-casein. There's a difference in how these proteins are digested. Research suggests that A2 is easier on digestion and may help avoid discomfort.
I found that the taste difference is very minimal but this A2 milk is definitely a lot creamier! I LOVE that for my coffee and tea AND my smoothies! I'll have to test it out with my baking recipes, too. I've always loved cow's milk because it packs a nutritional punch full of protein and fat, as well as vitamins and minerals. Loads of calcium which is very crucial for our bones and teeth health.
I made a Blueberry-Banana Smoothie with A2 milk, protein powder, wild blueberries, 2 bananas, almonds, flax seeds, chia seeds and cinnamon. This A2 milk really did make my smoothie creamier but NOT too thick. I was able to suck it through my metal straw which doesn't have a large opening.
I will recommend this to my friends and family especially if they are lactose intolerant or just get an upset tummy from eating or drinking other dairy.

I was chosen to try Chapman's Super Cone Ice Cream 'Twister' and give my honest review!! #GotItFree
The variety I got to try are creamy vanilla and rich chocolate ice cream wrapped around a salty caramel center. It's an ultimate sweet and salty combination. There's two different cones, one is their iconic sugar cone and their delectable chocolate cones for a pleasant crunch in every bite.
Chapman's Ice Cream is a family run business in Markdale, Ontario. which started in 1973. Their product lineup includes premium ice cream, frozen yogurt, sorbet, water ice Lolly's and more novelties.
The Chapman's Twister Sugar Cone Ice Cream with Caramel is a soft serve ice cream which is very creamy, layered with a chocolate shell and salty caramel throughout from top to bottom. The Chocolate Cone is filled with the same but I prefer the sugar cone.
The flavours encompass my childhood in the summertime and at the fair.

It's a non-greasy cream formula which is fast absorbing and odourless. It knocks the pain right out of the park and protects against any more infection. It also speeds up the healing process while leaving minimal scarring. The only one I'll use!!

I love these band-aids!
They are flexible and stretchable and move with your body. They keep your wound dry and clean and even if they get wet, they stay on. They have a really soft, quilted pad and it doesn't stick to your wound. That's the worst part is taking the band-aid off and having stick to the wound. These are the only band-aids I'll use.

I received this Becel Plant-Based Salted Brick Butter for free in exchange for my honest review.
I made a traditional Banana Bread with walnuts and pecans and it turned out really good! My home smelled so inviting and it satisfied that comforting craving.
The texture was more like butter than margarine and so was the taste. It cooked my Banana Bread just like butter does, however, hubby and myself could definitely notice a difference in taste. When you skimp out on animal protein and fats, you're giving up on the quality of taste.
I doubt that I'll ever buy this but I will recommend it to my Vegan and Vegetarian friends. Also, the price is very reasonable.

Oh yes! This is my nighttime ritual.
The Tazo Chamomile tea has been my nighttime sleeping pill for a few years now. I really enjoy the Rose Petal essence that this tea has. I've tried many Chamomile teas and none have ever had the Rose essence. I also add raw, organic honey and that totally completes it.
It calms me down, distressed me, and it's great to drink after a long, hot bath.

Tazo Earl Grey Tea
In the mornings, this is the tea that I crave. I consider myself an Earl Grey tea connaisseur. The Tazo Earl Grey has a very bold flavour and full of that bergamot aroma! It really is THE best Earl Grey tea that I've ever had. My go-to EVERY time.

I fell in love with Tazo teas when my Mother made me the Passion Herbal but we had it cold.
She put 3 tea bags into a glass pitcher, boiled the water, filled it up, then left in the fridge for a few hours. She then poured us each a glass and we used Lavendar infused raw honey and let me tell you...absolutely amazing!!
It's so aromatic and full of flavour! With the added, Lavendar infused Honey it gives it that extra "oomph"!!
This is what I always have in my fridge over the Summertime!!

I love the packaging, it seems to ergonomically fit into my hand perfectly. The scent is so light and fresh and the smell is Revive 🍋 Lemon Verbena Pomegranates. Goes so well together!
It worked really well for me and my pits. My underarms skin is soft and has no bumps or any irritation whatsoever. No white marks on my clothes either! It held me over for 48H as I took a day off from showering and no BO! Very pleased with this! The only thing is I wish there was no aluminum.

Enduring 48H high impact odor protection.
It comes with locking mechanisms so it won’t make a mess in your gym bag or knapsack.
I really liked the scent, the fact that it's a dry spray helped to keep me smelling fresh throughout our day. It left no white marks on my clothes, either! Also, I only had to use it every other day even if I didn't shower!! That’s huge! **Just wanted to add these are not aluminum-free
