I have a small mouth and on the recommendation of my dentist I have always used a small head tooth brush, so when I saw this monster coming, I thought it will never work for me. I was totally wrong.
Those outside soft plastic things cups your teeth and massage the gums while the bristles go to work on the teeth themselves.
My teeth are totally smooth. I love this tooth brush. I even like brushing with it.
I even think it holds the toothpaste better, possibly making it more economical in the long run (this is just a theory at the moment).
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Big time. Go get one.
Crest will even send you a wad of $1 coupons if you email their website and ask nice.

This is the best Crest Rinse I have ever used.
The mint flavour is a bit 'hard', I had to read twice to ensure there was no alcohol in the bottle, but it says there isn't. I think this strong hit is what makes the rinse work. It leaves your mouth reeling.... and fresh.
I don't think I would reach for this first at the store, but it really does the job it is tasked with.

I really have enjoyed using this toothpaste. It is a gel, which is my preferred type of paste. It has 'crystals', which didn't bother me at all.
It does foam, which makes it a bit messy, but it isn't as messy as other foaming pastes I have tried.
I found the taste refreshing and not overpowering, but my mouth remained clean for a long time (and I am a coffee drinker).
If this was non-foaming I would rate it 10/10, as is 8/10. Very good product.

Oral-B 3D White Vivid Toothbrush
I found this toothbrush a bit too big, but once I got used to it, i really liked the long bristles on the front end. The long bristles get into those spots that you may miss with other brushes. Overall, a very good toothbrush!

Mostly I give this toothpaste a thumbs down review due to the foaming effect. i have a small mouth and I felt like i couldn't contain the foam while I was brushing, it was a really messy affair.
Secondly, I drink coffee and tea. At first I felt like I did see my teeth brighten, but then they did not whiten any further after the initial boost.
Furthermore, I have sensitive teeth and the toothpaste and rinse combo were a bit harsh on my sensitive spots.
Not worth it in my opinion.

I have to say that after trying this for the recommended period, I just don't see much of an improvement.
I don't find that this rinse is very fresh tasting or minty at all. I would not buy this after the trial. Crest is still a great brand, but this is not a product I will be latching onto long term.

Once you start coughing, sneezing or having to blow your nose, it is time to rinse your sinuses.
I was turned onto this process by my ENT specialist and he highly recommended it, even twice a day if needed.
If your cough is coming from nasal drip, it can be eliminated. If you use nasal sprays, using them right after a rinse makes them more effective as they can actually hit what they are aiming for (also a tip from the ENT doc).
Cleans out your sinuses - doesn't feel weird at all, it is quick. I feel like I have a new head afterwards - seriously, it's awesome, especially if you get sinus related headaches!
I can't say enough. I wish I had known about sinus rinsing years ago and the NeilMed squeeze bottle makes it super easy.

Okay this Lip Balm is expensive. Let's get that out of the way. But man does it moisturize.
Living in Canada is hell on the lips. My lips are chapped from Sept to May give or take. I exfoliate them, oil them use moisturizers. I treat them like little delicate babies and they still chap.
Fresh may not win the war, but they are helping me win a few battles.
I do find the scent very nice, but the stick itself is a little soft, so I prefer not to use the tinted, for cleanliness reasons.
Try it as a sample at Sephora if you can before diving in at full cost. I think you will find as I did, it is worth every penny.

I was sent a box of these chocolates by Brand Spark and was very pleasantly surprised at the high quality of chocolate and fine preparation.
My only reservation from pure love for this product comes in that this is a mixed box and that there was a certain flavour that I did not like (Marzipan), but I am confidant that those who like that taste may find it well done, even transcendent.
Transcendent a strong word for you? Well I say to you - get a box, eat a Dark Chocolate Mousse and come back to me with an alternative. You may say then, 'sublime' or other similar words where when you eat the chocolate, or other people in the room may feel uncomfortable or decide to leave you alone with the chocolates. Yes, it's that good. But that's the Dark Chocolate Mousse and that's the 'Best in Box'.
Close Runner Ups are the Milk Chocolate and the Hazelnut-Almond.
The middle pack runners are the creams and they are very delicious and round out the box.
Final word is that I would easily buy this even with the few that aren't my favourites. The quality is so much higher than a package regularly bought during the holidays with the picture in the lid (you know, with the gross orange creme) and for about the same price.
If you come round my desk next holiday season, you will see Merci in my little bowl of treats.

This product is brand new and the first product I ever bought because I saw someone famous looking great and I went and found it (Jessica Chastain at the Golden Globes - google it).
The applicator is paddle shaped and works just great for even coverage and colour on the lip.
It is a very good and long wearing stain. I prefer to re-apply another gloss or balm over top for the shine as I do not find the shine lasts a long time.
It should be noted that this is one of those stains where the colour is lighter that it looks in the tube, so take your time in the store and use the testers on the wrist or top of the had until you decide which is best for you. I copied Ms. Chastain and went straight for the 'Berry Persistant', it just looked so good on her!
This is the first drugstore lip stain that I have been able to stand behind EVER. At a third of a cost of the brand that I use currently (s*il@), I will be making fewer trips to the mall this year ;)
I think we are going to be seeing this on the best lists for 2013.
