I didn't have a good experience with this toothpaste.
It has some tiny blue particles that somehow penetrated on my gums and it was very hard to remove it. It took several days brushing with another toothpaste to see it disappear.
I didn't find any difference on the color of my teeth, so I am not sure the whitening feature works. Maybe for people with darker teeth. I wasn't using their whitening product though, only the toothpaste.
I got it on sale but I wouldn't use it again even for free. I really didn't like having blue spots all over my gums.

I got a free sample of this shampoo and after trying it I had to buy to full bottle.
This shampoo makes my hair shine and I feel it really clean and light. I have slightly oily hair and it seems to help with that, taking off the weight. I wash my hair everyday and I found this product to be perfect to my needs. I also got the conditioner, which I also liked a lot and I use it every other day (due to my hair being a bit oily).
The price is not on the cheapest side but the bottle is reasonably big (500ml) and it will last a good time. I like that the big bottle comes with a pump, making it easier to use on the shower.
Like most of L'Occitane products, it smells really good and fresh.

I was very happy to be selected by Chick Advisor for the review of this toothbrush - I had just visited the dentist and he recommended to switch to an electric toothbrush because it seems I press too hard while using a manual one ( that's not good for your gums).
This brush is very slim if compared to other ones available on the market (like the more expensive Phillips ones and the cheaper ones that uses batteries). That is great for traveling because it can fit my small toiletry pouch easily. Another big plus is that it is rechargeable, and the charger is also not too big. The battery seems to hold for a quite good time so I don't need to take the charger with me for not-so-long trips.I only wish the brush come with some sort of cap for more hygienic storage (a small storage box only for the brush head would be great).
The toothbrush has 2 operation modes: clean and sensitive. It's very easy to operate. Since I've never used an electric toothbrush before, the first try on 'clean' mode was a bit splashy and somehow tickly. Changing it to 'sensitive' helped me to adapt to the new brush, and that only took a few days.
When the brush is on, it has 4 cycles of 30 seconds each so you know you when to move to the next quadrant of your mouth. That's very good because I actually started to pay attention on brushing and cleaning all the areas equally.
I really feel my teeth cleaner after using this brush. I think the price range for it is on the lower side of the 'sonic' brushes, and comparing it side by side on a local retailer, I think the Oral-B Pulsonic does the job as good as the more expensive ones.
I would definitely recommend this brush to a friend.

The pad is very thin and absorbent. It worked really well for me. It's flexible so it gives you a nice fit.
It sticks very firmly to your panties and that for me is an asset - however I can see all that stickiness being a problem for some.
The only problem with it is that it smells funny. Maybe is something wrong with this first box I bought?
Some other brands offer pads with a slight fragrance - I don't mind it but in the case of these pads it actually smells kinda bad.

This is the best place in Alberta to go for grocery shopping.
Unlike Safeway or Superstore, you will always find Sobeys stores clean and organized. Their Produce department has always fresh products and a great selection. Service is always courteous and attentive.
If you buy sliced meats by weight from the deli it will come in a great package. Their deli sandwiches are very good.
When I am not felling like cooking and want something healthy for supper, I just go there and buy some cut fruit. It's always fresh and delicious.

I like Sensodyne, this toothpaste really helps with sensitive teeth..
The iso-active toothpaste has a different texture that is claimed to turn into a "microfine foam during brushing, penetrating hard to reach areas to thoroughly clean the whole mouth and soothe the nerve". I can tell that the foam that is formed is thinner, but if that helps on cleaning hard to reach areas, that I don't know.
Actually I bought this product instead of the regular Sensodyne that I am used to because of the packaging. That turned out to be a big disappointment. The idea is good though - it comes on a neat pump. However, the pump leaks and makes the whole thing all messy. The cap gets full of toothpaste in just a few uses and the nozzle eventually gets blocked with dried product. Very sad and not worthy the price.

The idea of the product is really good - I really think sprays are very practical and very good when you want to spread a product evenly on a surface.
I use it a lot in several places at home - on washroom surfaces, when cleaning the trash cans... while cleaning the dishwasher... I also spray it inside my luggage before I put it on storage. This is a good product to avoid mold.
The big problem with this product is that the pressure in the can ends way before the liquid. So I end up with a can full of disinfectant but there is no way to get it out. This happened all the times that I bought this.
I feel bad to throw away a can still full, but there is no use if there is no pressure.
This is really sad because I like the product very much. I just wish I could use all the content that comes with it.

BEST. Yogurt. EVER.
Girls, don't be fooled by the simplistic container on the grocery shelf. Forget about all other colorful but tasteless yogurts on the market. This is the REAL thing.
This is the most creamy and rich yogurt that you can find. If you choose the version with fruit, you'll find it at the bottom, below all the delicious white yogurt. You may want to stir the whole thing at once or get the fruit in different portions, spoon by spoon.
No gelatine, sugar substitutes or any other strange additives here - only the simple real stuff. I guess you get also all the fat too, but that's the price to pay for REAL yogurt. I bet this is more healthy than a can of Diet Coke anyways.

This is a stylish pair of shoes. It looks great with a pair of jeans.
These boots are really comfortable but they run a little small. I am usually a size 9 (39 at Camper) and I ordered a 40. It's easy to put them on because of the zippers on the inside.
My feet are more on the flat side, so if you have a high arch you might find this too snug. For me though the fit is just great. The leather is high quality and the shoes seem to be very durable - just as expected because these are on the high end for price range.
I was able to wear it on cold weather with wool socks and they kept my feet warm. I am also using it in the middle of the spring and I don't fell it too hot neither. Great addition to my wardrobe!

Every wardrobe should have a denim jacket, so go for this classic!
The design is very flattering and the slimmer fit shapes the body beautifully. The color is pretty and for me the sizing is perfect - I am a tall person with long arms and this jacket fits amazingly even in Medium size. Probably people with shorter arms should fold the sleeves, which would not look bad for a denim jacket laid-back style.
The price is also at the right spot. It's money well spent: this is such a versatile piece in a classic design that you will use for many years to come.
