If you've ever had a Starbucks Protein Bistro Box (hard boiled egg and cheese), you've had one of these 'morning rounds' before, a miniaturized version in a different flavor. They're a multigrain not-really-flat flatbread. I buy these at Costco and they are my go-to breakfast food, or anytime snack, really. They stay fresh for several days, and they have a slight chewiness to them that I enjoy. It's really hard to describe, they're not like anything I've eaten before. I like my carbs, what can I say, but I feel like this is a healthier option than toast. They're much denser than bread, so one morning round also fills me up far more than a couple slices of toast. The only flavor i can get here is cranberry orange, which I was hesitant to try but it's a very flavorful combination that I actually really enjoy. -

Over the last 10 years, my hair has become dreadfully thin. I'm at the point where I can't hide the thin patches anymore, so I've been looking at my options. Having a limited budget, it's not like I can afford to try everything on the market, and as much as I would like to get a hair topper, they cost hundreds of dollars which I don't have. I was going to try Toppik fibers since they are the most popular and most reviewed brand, but Sally Beauty carries Ion and it is quite a bit cheaper. I had just washed my hair that day, so I went home and gave it a try. At a distance it looks amazing, it really fills in my hair, but when I looked closely, my scalp looked like it was covered in leopard spots. I really think it just takes practice applying it properly, in order to get the needed coverage, but it's hard not to be self conscious while trying to get there. In any case, I do recommend trying it, especially if you can get it at a store with a great return policy like Sally Beauty. That way, if you don't like it you can get your money back.
A couple of important things to know. If you have a tendency to scratch your scalp like I do, it will get under your nails. Scratching/picking at my scalp is an OCD thing with me, but my scalp also does get itchy really easily so I normally avoid using any product in my hair. I went a couple days before washing my hair and I was pleasantly surprised that my scalp did not get irritated or itchy. The coverage was still good the next day, which I did not expect, so that was a bonus. Pick the shade that is closest to your hair color, but go darker rather than lighter. Oh, and it's also great at covering greys when your roots start to grow out, another bonus!

I wasn't sure what to think when hubby brought this home, I love cookie dough but chocolate cookie swirl? It just sounded like the cookie would be soggy in the ice cream, but wow it has become my new favorite! I don't know how they do it, but the crumbled chocolate cookie gives texture to the ice cream that I just love. The caramel flavored ice cream is very subtle and makes for a great contrast with the other flavors. This stuff is yummy and I try to keep my freezer stocked for those emergency pick me up moments! -
Always Thin Active Dailies, Fresh Scented
So the disclaimer is that I've said they are very good and work well... just not for me. They are too short and too narrow for a big girl like me. They advertise them as sticking 'edge-to-edge', which is true except for at the front end! I guess... +
So the disclaimer is that I've said they are very good and work well... just not for me. They are too short and too narrow for a big girl like me. They advertise them as sticking 'edge-to-edge', which is true except for at the front end! I guess they figure you need an area where you can pull it off the wrapper without it sticking to your fingers?!? That's the worse spot to leave unsticky because it gets stuck to your you-know-whats. At least in my experience. They are sticky all the way to the far end though, so I just flipped them around, I don't see any difference in which side is at the front and which side is at the back. Most days I'm barely incontinent at all, so an incontinence pad or liner is too much for me. I had hoped that these would be just right, but I needed them to be longer and wider. Oh well. I'm sure they work just fine for somebody who is petite. -

I purchased Cocoa Butter Kiss. The scent is just okay, it didn't blow me away. As an antiperspirant it works fine, lasts all day. My problem was with the twist mechanism, it kept unscrewing the bottom instead of pushing the antiperspirant! I don't know if mine was defective, but it took me awhile to figure out that if I pulled away slightly while twisting, instead of naturally 'leaning' into it, I could get it to move up. I won't be buying this again, just too much hassle for an average product. -
Smashbox Always Sharp Waterproof Kohl Liner
This eyeliner goes on well even without primer or a base. It lasts me all day and doesn't smear... no clown eyes here! The built-in sharpener works really well. You know us ladies, never enough time to get ready, but you don't have to worry about... +
This eyeliner goes on well even without primer or a base. It lasts me all day and doesn't smear... no clown eyes here! The built-in sharpener works really well. You know us ladies, never enough time to get ready, but you don't have to worry about your eyeliner being dull and losing precious time. This was a gift from my sister, but I will definitely buy more when I run out. This is another great Smashbox product! -
Jergens Ultra Care Body Lotion
I'm not a big fan of Jergens to begin with, so I'm honestly not sure why I tried this. I think all Jergens products leave a funny after-smell, and this was no different. I had to wash my hands again to get the scent off. As far as moisturizing, it... +
I'm not a big fan of Jergens to begin with, so I'm honestly not sure why I tried this. I think all Jergens products leave a funny after-smell, and this was no different. I had to wash my hands again to get the scent off. As far as moisturizing, it worked about average I would say. If you like Jergens, you'll probably like it but it's not for me. I threw the rest of my sample away. -

When I read that it contained cotton extract, I think I inadvertently rolled my eyes. What are they going to find to add next?! I was pleasantly surprised with the product though, it's very light and to me it has a faint cinnamon scent (which I like!) I like the feeling on my skin, it feels fresh and not greasy. I already have my go-to brands, but I think I could add this to my list! -
LUSH Big Solid Conditioner

Ahh heaven! I always lived LUSH's Big shampoo, and now they have conditioner too! It gives my hair that bit of extra volume/lift and absolutely does not leave my hair flat. I love the smell, it's not overpowering, and it's a naked product: no packaging! Because it's a bar, you can also take it in your carry-on when travelling by air, no worry about liquids! -
THRIVE Life Freeze-Dried Sweet Cherries

I will never have to wash my cherries again. I will never have to pit my cherries again. I will never have to worry about them going bad. And I will never have to worry about them not being in season ever again! These freeze-dried cherries are so flavourful! The perfect amount of sweetness, and an amazing crunch you don't get with fresh cherries. I eat them as a snack, or I throw a handful into my granola and just add milk. So tasty, a must-buy! -
