I love the taste of plain yogurts (and kefir), so I have tried many different brands to see what I like the best. I have tried at least 6 different brands of "plain greek yogurt" and so far I like Riviera the best.
First, I like my yogurt a little runny--almost not a greek yogurt consistency. This Riviera plain greek yogurt (0%) is not as thick as other greek yogurts. Second, it is not as tart as some other plain greek yogurts are.
I bought this from my local grocery store when it was on sale for about $4. I think regular price was about $5.5, which is the same as other brands greek yogurt.
So overall, I prefer this consistency and taste vs other greek yogurts and the price makes no difference.

COOLWHEY
First of all, this is NOT supposed to and will NEVER taste like your favourite Häagen-Dazs, so don't even compare this to the "real" ice cream made of pure, heavy, thick cream. Now, for a "healthy" treat, this fits the bill for me. I crave ice... +
First of all, this is NOT supposed to and will NEVER taste like your favourite Häagen-Dazs, so don't even compare this to the "real" ice cream made of pure, heavy, thick cream.
Now, for a "healthy" treat, this fits the bill for me. I crave ice cream time to time and I have tried chapman's frozen yogurt, halo top, breyer's etc, and to be honest with you, I like this Coolwhey the best. I wasn't crazy about the cookies and cream but the caramel one was really great.
Nutritional content was slightly better with these products vs other lower calorie options from different brands. These are cheaper than halo top when on sale, so I will probably stick with these vs other ones.
If you are looking for a "better" ice cream options (and are willing to comprise the taste a little), by all mean go ahead and give it a try!

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel Sunscreen SPF30

I tend to use moisturizers that has SPF so hardly ever wore sunscreens on its own. In fact, I have acne prone skin and dislike the greasiness and stickiness of most of sunscreens I have tried.
This Neutrogena hydro boost water gel sunscreen was actually quite light and absorbed into my skin well. After a week of use, I didn't notice my skin breaking out more, so I am assuming it does not cause breakouts. I will definitely use this when I need extra protection on top of my low SPF moisturizer, when I go for hiking, picnic, etc.

NEUTROGENA® Hydro Boost Hand Gel Cream

I have never even heard of any type of hand "gel" cream, so it was interesting to try this Neutrogena hydro boost hand gel cream. I work at a hospital and lift weights 3-5 times per week, so my hands suffer quite a bit and I go through a lot of hand creams.
I actually loved the texture of this product and worked really well for me. It was hydrating my skin but was not "thick and greasy" like some other products. I think the price could be a little better, but when it is on sale it probably is worth buying. I will add this to the pool of my go-to hand creams.

Neutrogena All-in-One Make-up Removing Cleansing Wipes Singles

I often carry cleansing wipes instead of cleanser to gym or for weekend getaways. When I saw these tiny packages of wipes, I was so excited! Instead of buying a wipe that has 30 or more, which is obviously a better value but not very convenient sometimes, I now can stash couple of these in my gym bag or in my makeup bag!
They work well as far as removing make up goes (FYI I don't wear heavy make up--just blush, filling in eyebrow and lips, done.) They are not harsh and definitely does not leave my skin feeling greasy which I find some wipes do.
I probably won't be using these at home because I do use regular foam or gel cleanser, but these work perfect to carry for out-of-home use.

I am absolutely in love with this shampoo. It smells great and I think it actually makes your hair feeling denser. In combination with the hair thickening solution, it is very effective.
It can be costly to buy them often if you have really long hair, but I think it's worth it as I get older and don't want to have wimpy hair look all the time. I worry less about leaving my hair open since using these products, so my morning routine has been simpler now. :-)
Love them!

It was my very first time trying a hair "thickener". I have tried shampoo/conditioner for volume but my first time even hearing about such product.
It's great that Vichy happens to be one of my favorite brands. (I use Vichy skincare products.)
The texture of product is like those hair essense products. Smells nice and easy to apply.
I also think it does make a difference. I am reaching my mid 30's and my hair is thinning quite bit, so I almost never leave my hair open for the lack of volume and denseness. But after about a week of using this product, I think my hair is visibly denser and fuller.
Maybe it is temporary but even then I am happy to see my hair looking thicker.
I would recommend this product if you want smoother, thicker hair.

This chai tea is pretty good on its own but most of the time I add some sort of dairy and sweetener to it. My trick is--during winter, I pour some milk (dairy or non-dairy) in a mug and add the tea bag and microwave it for a little bit, and then add the boiling water from my kettle. Add sweetener, and steep it for a couple of minutes and enjoy the goodness.
During summer, I brew the tea in my tumbler but reduce the water amount by half and add sweetener to the hot water. After a few minutes take out the tea bag and add cold milk (dairy or non-dairy) and add lots of ice cubes. A little bit of Ice cubs melt and dilute the tea, but majority will stay and keep the tea cold. This make a perfect iced chai tea latte!!

I absolutely love this mint tea and I know this will never be "out of stock" in my pantry. Strongly recommended if you like mint tea.

This wild sweet orange tea actually has quite strong orange flavour, which I like. It can also be a little bitter if you steep it too long, so make sure to not leave it like few hours, like I did (doh!).
With or without sweetner, it is great and I sometimes brew a strong tea and add cold water to drink as iced tea. One of my favourite Tazo tea flavours!
