I started using Nivea Lip Care about a year ago after trying my daughter's when I had a an endless case of severe dry lips. Usually I stick with the basic mint or fruity types no nothing shiny or fancy. Out for the a day with my family I forgot mine and had to buy a different Nivea when it wasn't available. I avoid shiny, glossy lip products, but to my surprise this was nice. Not too glossy or shiny, just right and the usual nice feeling of Nivea lip care. I was really pleasantly surprised and would love to try some of the other flavours if I should find them. -
French's Honey Mustard

Everyone else in my house just loves Yellow Mustard, I prefer it sparingly on a few things. I used to love French's Sweet Onion Mustard which sadly, I can longer find, so I decided to find one for me. I tried French's Honey Mustard. similar to my old fave but different enough from plain old yellow mustard. I find it a nice change on sandwiches, burgers, hot dogs or as a dip for chicken fingers or nuggets. I even use it to make a homemade BBQ Sauce. Highly recommend. -

I love flavoured teas,herbal, white, green, black-and fruity preferred. Lipton Caffeine Free Herbal Tea Summer Fruits is a beautiful fruity Strawberry/raspberry blend. Comes in a fancy Pyramid tea bag that actually seemed to work better and didn't tear when squeezed once wet or steeped. I really enjoyed the flavour of this as well as several other flavours in this line. Great hot or cold or for Ice Tea. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked this and that it wasn't as big a gimmick as I might have thought. If you like flavoured or fruity teas give this atry. Highly recommend it. -

Looking for a drink , but not wanting pop on a warm summer morning at the grocery store, I found a sale on Fruit 2 O Sparkling Water Strawberry for $1.29. Sounded ok. At first it was ok, then I got a nasty bitter after taste that got worse as I drank it. I actually had to have something else to get rid of it. So for me not so great a deal after all. If you don't mind the after taste of sweeteners then definitely try it, if that's an issue I say skip this one. -

I think I have been spoiled by restaurants serving items with Shaved or Petals of Cheese over the years as it's used in more dishes. Now grated no longer does it. I finally decided to buy some in Petal or Shredded form for use myself in salads, pastas etc. I tried a store brand that was good. I happened on a sale of Saputo's Asiago Petals and gave them a try. Awesome! Next I tried Parmesan. Equally awesome! Nice big pieces, not thin and wilty .Real shavings, not dry, dust passed off as shavings. They taste great and can't help but enjoy savouring them when I use them. The texture is always perfect. They don't over power, they add or compliment. I just love this stuff! Perfect on things such as a Caesar Salad, or pasta etc. Great taste & quality. Very happy with these products. Highly recommend -

I have really grown to love Asiago Cheese over the years as it's used in more & more dishes at restaurants. I finally decided to buy some in Petal or Shredded form for use myself in salads, pastas etc. I tried a store brand that was good. I happened on a sale of Saputo's Asiago Petals and gave them a try. Awesome! Nice big pieces and shavings, not dry, dust passed off as shavings. They are a great taste I enjoy savouring when I use them. The texture is perfect. It doesn't disappear when you eat it or cook with it, but it doesn't over power. I love this stuff! Perfect on a Caesar Salad, Julienne Salad, pasta etc. Great taste & quality. Highly recommend! -

As a long time user of Sally Hansen and a wearer f nail polish for over 40 years (gosh that makes me sound really really old), I'm so torn on this product. like the polish, but absolutely hate the brush. I'm surprised at the many good/great reviews for it. It is the worst brush for nail polish I have ever encountered. The style in which the brush is fashioned is way too flat and wide. It makes it difficult to get a nice smooth or perfect coat and avoid getting it on skin/cuticles. Even worse if I am trying to do my little girls nails as a special treat. I find them useless to do any kind of nail art with. I like my nail polish to be as neat as possible. It's important to me. Really a shame as there are some really amazing colours. I only buy these if I can not find the colour or similar colour in a better brand/bottle /brush. Or if I have an empty bottle I switch it from their original bottle to avoid the problem. Messy solution when I'm desperate for a colour. I try to avoid it whenever possible. I'm sure many don't mind or notice, but for anyone who may be as particular about their nails as I am, not the best choice for application. -

Chapman's brand is one I've eaten since I was a child. I have enjoyed them into adulthood. I think their line of Sorbets and Sorbet Bars is a nice improvement on their old Sherbets. Their Orange Sorbet takes me back to shopping trips as a kid with a Orange Sherbet cone for a treat from which ever parlour was in the mall. The flavour is well delightful and bright the texture just slightly creamy texture. Still brings a small to my face each time. Glad they have Sorbets as at a parlour or grocery store freezer they aren't easy to find these days. I love Sherbet, Sorbets and Ices and Chapman's does it well! I enjoy it in a cone, a cup, smoothie, float or other concoctions I make up. Loving sharing it with my kids now too. Highly recommend! -

I've eaten Chapman's brand since I was a little kid. Their line of Sorbets is a nice improvement on their old Sherbets from childhood and adulthood. The Raspberry Sorbet has a nice slightly creamy texture, great tastes of raspberry, this is wonderful. I'm not much for ice creams, but I love Sherbet, Sorbets and Ices and Chapman's does it so well! On it's own, in a smoothie, float or with fresh fruit or anything else I create, I really enjoy it. Highly recommend! -

I've been eating Chapman's brand since I was a little kid and their line of Sorbets is a nice improvement on their old Sherbets. Their Rainbow Sorbet is a raspberry, orange and lime variation. A nice slightly creamy texture, great individual tastes of the flavours, this is terrific. Glad they have it as it's not easy to find Rainbow Sherbet/Sorbet at a parlour or grocery store freezer these days. I'm not much for ice creams, but I love Sherbet, Sorbets and Ices and Chapman's does it so well! On it's own in a smoothie, float or with fresh fruit I really enjoy it. Highly recommend! -
