A great inexpensive lip balm. It is very moisturizing and as an added bonus of a touch of color. The color is subtle enough that anyone can wear it. Its great for a quick touch of color if you are in a hurry or to layer over a lipstick. It will go with everything and leave the lips feeling nice and soft. -

Great product for natural coverage. I have used this for about 3 years now. It feels good on. It doesn't feel caked on or like I am wearing a mask. my skin can breathe when I use it and that has really improved the quality of my skin. The best part is it doesn't even look like I am wearing make up.
My only complaint is the powder is a bit messy. I always to get some powder around the sink and I hate cleaning it up. But that would be a problem with any mineral formulation and it is well worth it.

The staff and energy at Kalev fitness is amazing! I went to the gym with a promotional group buy expecting it would keep me on track with working out regularly. That is what I experienced when I bought a pass for a boot camps at a local park with a different company.While this other company our group got an OK workout, but we were jealous of another group working out at the park who looked like they were having an amazing workout and having fun.
When I worked with Kalev fitness it was in the winter so all of the classes were indoors. We still had a lot of fun. The key difference was the instructors were really engaged in the classes. Each instructor had their individual style, but everyone I worked with mixed things up so I never got bored with a routine in their class.. They also learned the abilities of their students. I was often surprised when they pushed me past what I thought I was capable of. There is a spirit of fun, support and a strong work ethic with the staff that spreads to the students in the gym. I found the other students in the class were also very positive, supportive and motivating.
I went to the boot camp classes and kickboxing. With in a month I was in much better shape. I was much stronger and more toned.
The gym also offers pilates, yoga and spin classes in a group environment. My friend tried these other classes and enjoyed them. They also offer personal training and nutrition advice.
The facilities are great. It is on two floors which is a bit confusing at first, but really is no big deal. There is free towel service and the change rooms have digital locks and rain showers. It is a perfect location for someone working near gas town.

Walking into this shop is a bit like walking into the chocolate store from the movie chocolate (Minus Johnny Depp). The first time I came here I was amazed with the passion of the woman working there. She convinced me to try some very strange sounding chocolates.
The first was a chocolate bar with a layer of basil. It sounded wrong, but it is sooo delicious!
The second was bacon bits. That sounded very wrong. But it was incredible. It was the perfect balance of sweet and salty, with just a tiny bit of crunch to add to the texture. Now Im hooked.
Xoxolat sells a huge and impressive variety of imported chocolates that are rare finds in the city. The two I mentioned above are from their imported selection.
They also make their own chocolates on site. The WestCoast Breakfast is a fantastic blend of Maple Caramelized Bacon with touch of espresso in deep milk chocolate. It is fabulous!
I also have had the opportunity to sample a variety of flavors in a selection of truffles packaged in a gorgeous wooden box. I truly could not find a favorite because they were all so good. Not a miss amongst the large box.
Their drinking chocolate is heavy, and almost a meal. But fantastic just the same.
They also offer tasting classes in chocolate101. The owner's philosophy is that we should have chocolate everyday, but the key is to have quality chocolate in small amounts. She is very proud of the opportunity to educate people about chocolate in the same way people learn about wine. Highly recommended.

Great product for moisturizing the eyes and concealing. It also works great as a base for eye shadow, or on its own to even skin tone in the upper eyes. I will use it alone if I am in a hurry but my eyes still need brightening.
