Another great product from IOGO! We tried the new IOGO Smoothie Strawberry Raspberry in 1 litre format. It was smooth, creamy and full of flavour, best of all no seeds! Even my 6 yr old daughter thought it was yummy. We were really happy with the texture and consistency, seemed like the right amount of everything. I liked that it was a large size bottle so I can share, as a Mum I'm always sharing! Looking forward to a new treat to share with my daughters. Highly recommend trying this. Hope they come out with a few more flavours. -

We've been trying VH Sauce Pouches for 2 for quick dinners for just the two of us. VH Teriyaki Stir Fry is a great way to make a a flavourful Stir Fry with a hint of sweetness. Just chop up vegetables of your choice and meat, we use chicken breasts or no meat if you prefer. Quick and easy to do and use. I'm enjoying the sauces flavours and the simplicity of it. Just add a side of rice or noodles and you're done! Love this line and highly recommend giving them a try. -

We really enjoy VH's Butter Chicken Sauce Pouches for Two and have been trying the other flavours one by one. VH Orange Ginger Stir Fry Sauce is a flavourful stir fry sauce. You smell the ginger the minute you open the pouch. Quick and easy to help make a meal. I just chop up Chicken breasts and vegetables stir fry and add sauce. We usually have it with rice or an Uncle Ben's flavoured rice. Nice quick meal with flavour and not too much effort. Perfect for those times when you don't want to be in the kitchen all night making dinner. Highly recommend trying. -

I have curly/wavy/frizzy, dry hair. On top of that I colour, blow dry and straighten or use a curling iron or InStyler. So I need a really good conditioner or treatment to keep it manageable. I was really pleasantly & happily surprised when I tried Dove's new line Quench Absolute for dry, wavy,or curly hair. It worked amazingly well! Usually after a conditioner I still need use a leave in, or some other product to get it soft and manageable before or after I blow dry, but after 1 use of Dove Quench Absolute Creme Serum I didn't need to do anything else. For me that's a big deal. it felt great after blow drying and still great the next day. It smelled great and I really love that extra step it eliminated for me with no sacrifices. I highly recommend trying it! -

I look forward to the special flavours of Oreo as I'm not a fan of original Oreo cookies. I love Golden Oreo cookies and variations on them. Sadly there aren't too many we get in Canad that aren't with the original dark cookie. I was happy to recently find Cinnamon Bun Oreo cookies. These are a big hit at our house. They got the flavours in this one! The cinnamon flecked cookie has a wonderful light cinnamon taste and the icing has a sort of cream cheese flavour to it and a little bit of cinnamon. One of the best flavours I've tried.
Less sticky and filling as a Cinnamon Bun but still great lol! Highly recommend trying these! YUM!

I tried La Roche Posay Hydraphase Intense Intensive 24Hr Rehydrating Care Pro-Radiance in my search for a facial moisturizer for my oily and dry face issues. I'm in my late 40's and find these issues are only getting worse as I age. I find it hard to find a product that works for both issues. It seems I always wind up with something good for dryness but not so good for my oily areas. This seemed good for both. This the light version, as there is also a "Riche" version. It gives you longer lasting hydration, 24 hours. I really did find it worked for a long time to keep skin moisturized. My face did feel less oily, but still would've liked it to feel even less. I did still find that it didn't solve that part of my problem completely, but did like it better than everything else I've tried. It has a pleasant, light scent and didn't feel heavy on my fingers or face. I like that it comes with a pump, so the product doesn't get contaminated. This is rather pricey, so I do think that's important. I've seen it anywhere from $27-$46 for a 50ml pump depending where you find it, plus shipping if you buy online. I do think this is one of the better products for problematic dry & oily face issues. I definitely recommend it. -

I have had a life long problem with ear wax build up in my left ear since childhood. It gets bad enough that at least once or twice a year I have to get my ear syringed by a doctor or nurse to clear the packed ear wax. With busy family life I recently let it get so bad I I could barely hear out of that ear. Terrible I know. It was so bad even the doctor looked amazed.
The wax has to be softened so it can be syringed out and also to not cause damage or pain to your ear. Over the years my doctors have had me use oil drops at bedtime at home for 2-3days or over the counter Cerumol Ear Wax Removal Drops before returning to have the procedure done. This was Cerumol time! This is used 2-3 times a day for 3 days, so this more heavy duty if you will. Lying down or tilt your head (lying down works better), use the glass dropper to put 5 drops in ear. Then put a thumb sized piece of cotton or cotton ball moistened with Cerumol into ear canal with out pushing it in. Remove it after an hour or in the morning if done at bedtime. I found it felt like it would run out every time so I suggest leaving in overnight and also this unfortunately has a strong smell. I wouldn't have wanted to walk around with that smell personally if I didn't need to. I do find it fells ticklish when being dropped in ear and makes it even harder to hear for quite awhile, so another reason I suggest bedtime, so it's less annoying.
Works well but wish it didn't smell so strong. It is over the counter, it's a bit pricey at $8.99-$12 for a 11ml glass bottle with glass dropper.dropper. It's been around for 50 years so .I think it's pasted the test of time. Do recommend it if ear wax build up is an issue for you, especially if you need to have your ear syringed by a doctor or nurse. Or if you’ve tried home remedies such as olive oil or saline with little or no hel you might want to try this.

I've tried a lot of Vaseline products over the years and have never been as impressed as I am with Vaseline Hydrant Spray & Go Moisturizer in Aloe Fresh! This stuff is a game changer for me! I have very dry skin all year long, worse in the Winter. My skin just just sucks products in with little or few great results, Vaseline is my faithful product to get my skin feeling anywhere near soft or smooth. Unfortunately it is heavy and certainly lets you know it's there, so I sacrifice that barely there feeling I'd prefer for something that works that doesn't give me that feeling. I loved this so much I tried another in the line, Vaseline Intensive Care Cocoa Radiant Spray Moisturizer
This stuff is amazing, wonderful, feels great, but unfortunately I found the scent way too overpowering for me. I do recommend the product if you don't mind that or you like cocoa butter type scents. I wouldn't buy this again due to the scent, but did find it worked well otherwise.

I've tried a lot of Vaseline products over the years and never been as impressed as I am with Vaseline Hydrant Spray & Go Moisturizer in Aloe Fresh! This stuff is a game changer for me! I have very dry skin all year long, worse in the Winter. My skin just just sucks products in with little or few great results, Vaseline is my faithful product to get my skin feeling anywhere near soft or smooth. Unfortunately it is heavy and certainly lets you know it's there, so I sacrifice that barely there feeling I'd prefer for something that works that doesn't give me that feeling. Used it forever so I'm kinda used to it. Well I never really thought a product like this would work for me so I put it to the test and used it after a shower, when my skin is at it's worst. Hallelujah! this stuff is amazing, wonderful, feels great & smells great! (My kids kept smelling me after each use lol!) I love that the scent was pleasant, fresh, clean and didn't overpower.
I was really skeptical this would work for me and feel good too, but it did. I've never used a non greasy product that worked and felt great, best of all the feeling lasted! For me, it does everything it says. I love how fast it absorbed and moisturized my skin with a great scent and pleasant feeling applying it and afterwards. Love that I don''t feel like I have to wait to get dressed, I'm truly ready to go. I've never experienced this with any skin product that worked great for me. I truly & highly recommend this and pray they don't stop making it any time soon now that I've found it! I'd rate this even higher if I could!

I gave Live Clean Coconut Milk Moisturizing Shampoo a try when I was looking for a sulfate free shampoo that wasn't too pricey. I was firstly surprised at how few sulfate free shampoos (including Children's Shampoos) we have in Canada and that most are on the pricier side. Also what is Sulfate Free in the US isn't necessary a sulfate free option here in Canada, so keep that in mind if you get info from US sites and blogs. After spending about 30-40 minutes reading labels in shampoo section I decided to try Live Clean, since they had a few to choose from I chose a moisturizing shampoo in a a pleasant scent which was "Coconut Milk". Some coconut hair care products can have a strong scent, but I was pleasantly surprised this wasn't overpowering and had a nice clean slightly tropical coconut scent. I was surprised that it did actually give me a sense of clean when I smelled it. It did lather up lightly. Left hair soft, manageable. I was happy and impressed with how well it worked and left it feeling. Great value and I recommend trying it! -
