This miso noodle cup missed the mark big time. I was excited to try it because I figured it would be a good combination with the rice noodles, but it was so bland and unappetizing that I threw it away after only a bite.
The seasoning clumped at the bottom of the cup even though I stirred it thoroughly. There wasn't a good soup to noodle ratio either, and it was missing the savoury, salty flavour that traditional miso has.
For $2.50 each, this was not worth the money. It was disappointing, will not be repurchasing.

Thai red curry is known for its spice and slight sweetness, but these noodles offer neither. The first thing you taste is ginger powder and raw turmeric, which isn't appealing at all.
I was excited to try this because it was different from the regular ramen noodle cups, but it isn't worth the money. The seasoning tends to clump up at the bottom of the cup as well, and the soup to noodle ratio was off.
Overall, I did not enjoy this product and I would not repurchase it.

Leaves my teeth feeling super clean and mouth feeling fresh and minty. Love using the matching mouthwash alongside as well. This is a regular buy for my household

I shopped at Winners and Homesense regularly because I thought I was getting a good deal on items that would have cost a lot more elsewhere. But then I actually started looking elsewhere more frequently and Winners just didn't cut it anymore. You can find similar and higher quality clothing home items in so many different stores now. I feel like the home items especially are marked up way higher than they need to be. You can find a random good find here and there but overall, it's usually a waste of time when I go. -

This tea tastes so good! It's hard for me to find in stores near my area so I don't drink it everyday but I always enjoy my cup when I indulge. The orange is a great addition. I also used this tea when I made an earl grey and orange loaf cake and it was incredible. High quality for not too high of a price point. I will be buying again :) -

I have been using this face cleanser for the past 6 or so years and it's still the only one that performs the best for my skin type. I started purchasing Cetaphil because my skin was very sensitive and acne prone at the time and it soothed my skin quicker than other products I had tried. Even now, if I'm having a flare up from trying a new face cream or face mask, it brings my skin back to normal without having to do anything except use it regularly.
The texture of it is thin, you don't have to use much to get it all over your face and neck. It washes off quickly, doesn't leave your skin feeling "parched" or tight in any way. It has a pump which is convenient. I buy this at Costco when it's on sale in the 1L bottles and it's great value for my money. Regardless, they usually have a few coupons and free trials going around if you want to give it a try as well. Love this stuff!

I bought this product at Costco recently because it was on sale and I thought it was a great value (450g tub and 50g travel size tube for $12.99CAD) and because it is recommended for eczema prone skin, which mine is.
I was completely shocked at how well this product performed. Right off the bat I will say that it does have a very strong smell - something along the lines of a medicated cream and a foot cream haha - but I looked past that quickly when I noticed how well it moisturized my dry, sensitive heels, elbows, and knees in less than a week. The packaging says it takes about 2 weeks, but I noticed within 4 days, my skin was back to normal. Feeling smooth, no dry patches, no redness or itchiness. It even says it can be used to mix it with your medicated cream to make application easier (and to stretch your prescription!).
The texture is thick, but non-greasy. It sank into my skin with no issues. I tried mixing it with my Aveeno body lotion as well and liked that texture for all over the body. I feel this would be safe for babies and kids as well.
This is one of my new favourites and I will be keeping this in my regular line-up of products from now on. Nothing compares! Try buying from Costco if possible, it's the best value I've found. The smell really is the only negative. But if you've been struggling to find a product that saturates into your skin without leaving you feeling greasy, especially during the winter, I would really give this lotion a shot.

This soap was a great find. It has a strong smell, but it does not irritate and lasts on your skin. I even received compliments when I walked by family members after using it. Considering how often we've been washing our hands these days, I have not had any problems with my skin drying out. This soap is so rich in the best way, leaving my hands so moisturized and soft. Lathers beautifully as well. Very happy I gave it a try -

I consider this one of my essentials. I like the smell - it's not too overpowering, but also not so subtle that you don't get that "clean laundry smell" - it's great value for my household and the amount of laundry we do per week, it's very effective as well. I have enjoyed using the OxyClean powder for over 10 years now and this liquid detergent makes life even easier. Great product -

This is a good book to get into reading thrillers. It was the first one I started with and I was hooked. The beginning is a little tough to get through, but once you do the story line is extremely gripping. You need that slow burn for all the twists to really leave their mark. I read this as an ebook but have bought a physical copy since I finished it because I liked it that much. Definitely worth the time. Don't give up in the beginning, I promise the end is worth it! -
