My search for the ultimate grill cleaning brush may just be over. This brush is great! It's got three brush heads so it cleans evenly across three planes and a scraper in the other side to get those stubborn and burnt on messes out. It's not too big so you can get into tighter areas. It's also bristle-free which is super important if you don't want bristles getting into your food (which is obviously extremely dangerous). And it feels super sturdy. I think this will last me for quite a while. Overall, a great brush that has great cleaning power without compromising the safety of your food.

These bottles are great! The wide mouth makes it easy to fill and the attached closure ensures you never lose the tops to your bottles. It's a good size (400 mL) so you could easily make your own homemade sauces inside the bottle. The semi-transparent bottle makes it easy to see what's inside at a glance. The opening is just wide enough for a slightly thicker sauce to come through yet narrow enough that it allows precise application of your sauce. And most importantly, they are indeed easy to squeeze. Overall, a good set of squeeze bottles that do exactly what they're supposed to.

Simple and sturdy tool for pressing out round smash burgers. Made of cast iron, it's the perfect weight, not too heavy or light. The wooden handle makes it easy to handle when hot. You could probably use this for making paninis or keeping something flat on the grill also. Its hatch marked design on the cast iron underside would be great for adding a good texture to your ground meat however, I used parchment paper to keep the surface clean. Overall, a great tool to add to your kit for making smash burgers quickly on the grill or inside in a griddle.

Mad Moose - Japanese Alcohol-Free Whiskey

This is my first time trying out a non-alcoholic Japanese whiskey! It's lightly herbal, oaky and spicy and has a slight warming and numbing feel. It would be a fancy option to a bubbly or pop for those not drinking. And if you're holding a glass of this, people probably wouldn't even notice you weren't drinking.
Now for the real talk: It doesn't have the intense punch of real whiskey, is quite light and a tastes watered down. It definitely wouldn't fool a whiskey drinker. But I think this is for people who don't want a drink but want something more sophisticated than a can of pop. And I think where this whiskey shines is in a cocktail or mixer to add a depth of flavour without the side effects (like a hangover). I think this would make a great addition to any party bar to offer guests more alternatives.

This keychain is so handy! I can keep my Halifax Hot Honey with me at all times so whenever the craving strikes and I want to jazz up some fast food while out, I can. The honey itself is delicious. The Nova Scotia wildflower honey is so yummy and is infused with pickled chillies giving it just the right amount of heat while still tasting good. It's also made in Canada as the company is proudly Canadian!

Tasty gummies that happen to be good for you! With 62 super ingredients to help with energy, metabolism and overall health, they're an easy way to get your vitamins in while out, even without water. Taste is good (you can't taste anything "green" or medicinal in them) and they have zero sugar. Although I don't think it particularly tastes like watermelon. The texture is good but they're a little sticky so you'll need to wash or wipe your hands after. They come a package of 2 for convenience if needing to take them on the go or while on vacation. Overall, an easy and tasty way to wellness!

This tuna salad is very convenient for a quick small meal or added to other ingredients, such as a bed of lettuce to make a larger salad or to rice for q quick rice bowl meal. Made with tuna, peas, carrots, olives it's high in protein with 14g of protein per bowl. I found the mix to be lighter and more neutral in taste, aside from the olives which added the bulk of the flavour. I found it slightly oily and the peas had the mushy canned pra taste - it wasn't my favourite if I'm being honest. I would probably not eat this in it's own and add it to something else with a bit more spices and flavour.

This tuna salad is delicious! Made with tuna, red beans, corn, peppers and Mexican spices, it's perfect blend of flavours that can be both eaten on its own, added to a bed of lettuce to make a larger serving of salad or rice to make a quick meal. It's high in protein with 16g and 5g of fibre. I'll be adding this to both my regular and in case of emergencies stash.

This Pineapple Hot Mama Sauce is quite tasty - sweet, tangy and spicy with its heat slowly building. It's slightly thick, slight lumpy and not quite smooth - like a homemade sauce. It makes it quite versatile so that it can be used directly as a spread or dip, drizzled on top of meals or spread on meat ready to be grilled or cooked. Since it has pineapple in it would make it a great marinade. Speaking of the pineapple, I was hoping for more pineapple flavour or fragrance - it didn't come through for me. Overall, it's a tasty sauce with a medium heat that builds.

Thursday Plantation tea tree oil is so versatile - I've used it for spot treatments if I have an acne breakout or even just mixed it into a toner as well as on small cuts and bug bites as an antiseptic (always mixed with a carrier oil or lotion). The cooling effect also helps with the itch of mosquito bites. I've also mixed it in with my shampoo and body wash which makes my shower smell amazing and the experience feels a little more luxurious.
It certainly says something that Thursday Plantation has been around for 50 years, is the original tea tree oil and 100% natural. I also enjoy that the name of the company is based on when they were formed - on a Thursday 50 years ago!
