This is and has been my go-to Bronzer for years. It's such a gorgeous shade, doesn't appear muddy or orange, and stays in place on the skin beautifully for hours.
The colour is beautifully light and neutral with a light pigmentation that I find is very buildable. It has very little shimmer when applied to the skin. It also has no terrible ingredients which is great compared to the original version. I also really love the packaging because it's bigger than the original and has a larger mirror inside. (I think it's super important to have a mirror in your blush or bronzer product.)

This coffee has completely ruined me (in a good way!) I can't drink and enjoy any other brand of coffee now that I've tried this brand.
Laughing Whale uses a combination of the best traditional techniques and the latest low-emission, heat-recycling roasting technology so they produce coffee with the lowest emissions possible. (They even state this on their website: As a result, we can offer you the "Lowest Carbon Footprint per Cup" of coffee produced by any fossil fuel powered roastery in the region - and possibly across Canada.)
That being said about the emissions, the taste is FABULOUS. They have a variety of different types but I prefer the Morning Mantra one as it is a medium bodied, low-acidity coffee which has an amazing flavour and smooth finish. The beans are from Mexico and I find that it doesn't have a chemical taste that you can sometimes find in coffee. If you can get this coffee around you, I highly recommend it.

I read online that dogs have sensitive skin so I started buying this baby shampoo to bathe my dog. Not only does it smell great but it’s sensitive skin and tear free formula works wonders on my little Luna.
I noticed that when she’d come back from the groomers, she’d be itching herself for days but once I started bathing her once every few weeks with this, she wasn’t itching at all.

I have loved this scent since I was young because my mom used to wear it all the time.
It has an indescribable musky and velvety scent with great staying power. I spray a few sprays and find it stays for 6+ hours. I find that almost everytime I have this on, someone asks me what scent I’m wearing or comments on how much they like it. I love that when I spray it on my clothes, I can still faintly smell it days later if I wear something again.
I love that this product comes in creams and body washes too.

I was a huge fan of Thierry Mugler perfumes for my entire life until I discovered this perfume. I love robust, woodsy, noticeable scents with vanilla or neroli notes and found that this scent was a great mix of my preferences. It has notes of light vanilla while also having some hints of musk and woods. The staying power is good; it doesn’t have AMAZING staying power where it will be on for 8+ hours but I do find you’ll get a good 5 hours of scent once applied.
I also really love the packaging and bottle. I find that it’s classy and cute looking which I love.
The price is a little high but this could be due to the fact that it’s a very in demand perfume right now. I’d definitely buy it again.

I have a bottle of this cream in my office and use it everyday! I work in a hospital so I am constantly sanitizing and washing my hands so I need a cream to add some moisture. I love this so much because it’s not greasy, doesn’t have a scent, and instantly moisturizes my hands leaving them feeling soft and hydrated. -

I purchased this product about 3 years ago and found that it made my lips extremely dry at first. I initially chalked it up to being due to the fact that my lips were adjusting to a new product. After a few days my lips began to become very red and were almost in pain as they stung when I would rub them together. I discontinued using the product and threw it out.
Fast forward 3 years and I received this product as a gift from a friend. I decided to try it out again thinking they may have changed their formula. I was wrong. The exact same thing happened to me so within a few days, I threw it out again.
I wouldn’t recommend this product at all.

The Kirkland Breakfast Blend K-cups are my favourite k-cups to purchase from Costco!
Not only are they affordable but the flavour is amazing. A box has lasted me and my fiancé over a month and was a lot cheaper than other kcup brands sold at Costco. It tastes just as good, if not better, than certain bigger brands. I would compare it’s flavour to the blonde roast from Starbucks; it has a light almost fruity flavour with notes of chocolate in the end. I highly recommend giving this brand of coffee a try if you are looking for a more economically friendly coffee but want a good flavour.

I love this app. I have struggled with weight management for most of my adult life and until I started food logging, I wasn’t realizing how many calories and carbohydrates I was eating. I use the free version which is my reason for only 4 stars for value. I wish that you were able to access all features on the paid premium app like being able to change your macros for each day and being able to see net carbohydrates rather than total carbs.
This app reminds you throughout the day to log your breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. It also reminds you to step on the scale throughout the week which is nice because it acts like a kind of support system. I use this app everyday and love it. Maybe one day I’ll bite the bullet and pay for the premium.

I have long, blonde, heavily chemically treated hair that tends to be on the dryer side so I definitely need to apply a serum of some sort following a shower. I also tend to apply a tiny amount after I straighten my hair to add some shine and smoothness to it. I love this product because it’s light weight but also effective. It applies smoothly onto wet or dry hair to smooth frizz and make your hair feel super soft. It also smells AMAZING. Sometimes I add a tiny bit to my body lotion and apply it to my skin because I love the smell so much. I find this is a great alternative to Moroccan oil because it’s more fairly priced but has the same effectiveness. -
