Recently purchased these on sale in two varieties; Kitchen Citrus Bliss and Whipped Cocoa Butter.
With two men in the house we do tend to steer clear of anything too perfumey or flowery. When you think of cocoa butter that seems like a pretty safe bet.
Well, for this hand soap it isn't. Super strong perfumey scent that has absolutely nothing to do with cocoa butter. I would even accept something that smells similar to suntan lotion, but that's not what it is either. And it leaves that super strong scent on your hands.
The other thing I'll mention is that each pump of product is perhaps a bit too generous and you burn through the soap really quickly. I think one of these lasted in my house for about a week.

It's official. I'm addicted! These pistachios seasoned with salt and pepper sounds so basic, but they are absolutely delicious. I'm a huge pistachio fan and love the standard salt variety, but the extra kick of the pepper really adds an additional layer of tasty.
I'm a big fan of spice, and I will say that these on occasion have felt like they have a slight kick to them. So if you're not a fan of spicy foods, be careful.

The whole concept of private member clubs has been lost on me. That's until I visited an independently owned club for women in Toronto called Verity. The location features various co-working and meeting spaces, a full spa, fitness club, restaurant, event space, and guest suites.
A colleague of mine is a longtime member, and I've been a guest of hers on several occasions. They really have exceptional service, delicious food, and make sure that they take care of their members very well. It's also a very empowering environment for women, with incredible networking opportunities.
If you currently pay for a fitness club membership, regularly indulge in spa services, attend or host professional development events, invite clients it colleagues for lunch, or regularly use co-working or ad hoc meeting space, you may want to look at Verity. It's a real hidden gem. Queen E @ Church. https://www.verity.ca

Purchased several of these in different varieties at a recent sale at the grocery store. Let my review serve as a warning to you regarding the Creamy Vanilla variety.
Opening the bottle, product smells strongly like Play-Doh. It's not pleasant. The texture is not chalky like other protein beverages, but the flavour is both mild but also unpleasant, tasting really unnatural (the Play-Doh scent doesn't help).
The other varieties were more enjoyable, but this one was a real miss.
The others were better.

This salad kit features dried cranberries, honey Dijon dressing, baby spinach and baby kale, with some shredded carrots and croutons too. The leafy greens were tender and fresh.
A couple of cautions. The Honey Dijon dressing has serious Dijon, as in that "tickle your nose" kind of strength. If that's not your thing, then the dressing won't be for you. Also, if you're also watching carbs, this salad kit is much higher between the sweet dressing, dried cranberries and healthy portion of croutons.
But it's delicious. And the kale and spinach offer so much goodness, I found it to be a treat.
