Crest 3D White Whitestrips 2-hour Express

This is the first time I have tried white strips. I do not smoke or drink coffee so I feel I have fairly white teeth, but not the dazzling white that I'm prone to seeing on the Crest white strips commercials.
So I got the package and read the instructions that came on the letter. I have fairly small gums and teeth so when I put them on,they were on the gums and all over my teeth and more and I regret having them on the lower gums (I'll explain after).
Now having something on your teeth for 2 hours is daunting; I exercised and watched TV and just killed time, doing all I could to avoid drinking or eating anything because I figured we weren't supposed to, even though the instructions don't address that issue.
So the reveal, when I took the strips off, I did not notice any significant changes. Perhaps these strips work better for those who drink coffee or smoke. But the strips did minimal whitening for me. And perhaps I'd notice a change when I repeated the steps in another month as the box says to do every month.
Also, back to the lower gums I mentioned above, I notice that my lower gums are hurting a bit, the upper gums are fine but the lower gums are a bit irritated.
I am grateful for the chance to try these out, because I've wanted to know if they work, but they are not for me.

I have been blessed with naturally long eyelashes. But even long lashes need some help with perfecting that gorgeous look. This mascara was given to me by my hubby who bought it as part of a gift basket. I love it! It is easy to apply and the applicator has a nice curve to really get those lashes lifted and to product that elongated look.
If you take time to apply it and avoid getting the spider lashes, you'll have really long and noticeable lashes. It also does not irritate my eyes, like some mascara tend to do.

I found the Bonnie Togs outlet in Woodbridge right after my husband and I finished back to school shopping for our son at Children's Place. When we saw the low price tags we were disappointed that we hadn't found this place first. The quality of the clothes are amazing and the price tags attached are even more amazing. We bought several items anyways, even though we didn't need to, because the price was too good to pass up.
I recommend this store for those with little boys and girls that you need to shop for. There's no point in paying hefty prices for clothing for the young ones because they are constantly growing. At Bonnie Tog's low prices, it's worth it to shop here, plus you're getting good looking and quality clothing!!

I came across this salon via those daily deals. The average cost of this salon can be quite expensive, I am not sure how much to be exact but if you're getting your hair done by Jie Matar who has worked on celebrities, I think you're running into the hundreds.
I got my deal for $35 and it says it was worth $400.
So I called after getting my coupon and spoke with Ravi, who was very nice and had a spot available for me.
When I arrived, the girl at the front showed me to the chairs and I didn't have to wait very long. My stylist was to be Andrew, while he finished up on his current client, a nice young lady washed my hair. By the time she was finished Andrew was ready for me. Also, Ravi came back around to ask me if I wanted water or coffee.
The atmosphere of the salon was really nice. It was neat, well kept, great decor, nothing too extravagant but simple yet luxurious looking.
So Andrew asked me what I wanted to get done and he was very understanding and as he was cutting my hair it was obvious that he had a passion for what he did. I told him I was thinking of getting straight across bangs but wasn't sure if it would suit me (I have a round face). He said if I'm willing he'll make it work for me.
So I said why not, and he cut an amazing, chique style. He said I looked like Cleopatra, lol.
Overall, my experience there was wonderful. I unfortunately cannot afford the regular expensive price tag, but lucky for me they offered me another deal which would not expire that I could use at anytime and of course I bought it on the spot!
If you can afford the price, I would highly recommend this place.

My pediatrician was the one to recommend this product to me when my son was a year old. I have used this ever since. My son is now 3 years old and this sunscreen has never failed me. It goes on light and does what it says, no stinging, no tears and it does seem to be waterproof because my son had it on when we were in Jamaica in the water and he didn't get any sun burn.
It is so good that before going outside, my son brings it to me and says "mommy can you put this on me".
My son's daycare even uses this brand.
I would recommend it to all parents.

I really like this sunscreen. It has a nice texture and does not go on oily. I wear it under my makeup and feel great throughout the day. It also has a nice Hawaiian type scent so you don't smell like you have heavy duty sunscreen on. Also, a little goes a long way so you can have this product for a while. I would recommend this sunscreen to anyone plus there's the nice label that says it is recognized by the Canadian Dermatology Association, which may be a selling point for some. -

I was excited to try these drinks because I had just heard about the growing interest in vitamin waters. I received three flavours, Fuji Apple Pear, Strawberry Lemonade and Blackberry. I didn't really like the Fuji or Strawberry flavours, but they did quench my thirst. The blackberry was the best because the taste didn't overpower the water and it was really smooth.
I do want to try the other flavours that Aquafina has, especially the Acai one. Overall, the product would be a great alternative for those who don't like the simple taste of water. Also it has the side benefit of containing vitamins, though I wouldn't forgoe my vitamin supplements that I currently take. These also should be consumed cold, because they don't taste that great when they are lukewarm.

I'm glad I got to try out these products. They really do stay. For those who have a sensitive nose, you can adjust the scent level from high to low. It worked well and did leave the scent in the air throughout the day. Even when I would cook, it would eventually eliminate the odours from cooking and I live in an open concept apartment, so this really helps.
I do prefer the vanilla scent to this one, because I feel this scent was too synthetic smelling. Even the Vanilla one is a bit too perfumey smelling. The one thing I would suggest to Febreeze is that they make the scents more natural.
Overall, it is great for those who need a product that will last in fighting the odours that might linger.

I was excited to try out this product because having a baby and then a small apartment where smells carry, I wanted to try out this products staying power.
It was simple to put together and they have added a feature where you can adjust the scent levels at either high or low. I placed it on high for a while and it really did spread around the room and stay in the air. Even after a few days, the scent was still obvious.
It is a neat product that provides convenience since you don't have to go around spraying something in the air everytime something doesn't smell right. It does also help to keep the scent prevalent instead of just passing.
Overall it's a great product in it's convenience and staying power, and between this scent and the "Morning walk & Cleansing Rain" scent, I preferred the Vanilla one. Though, I would hope they implement scents that have less of the perfumey smell and more of a natural scent.

My friends took me to this place one day after work. I'm so glad that they did because the food was awesome. I am not versed in Korean food so I can't really remember the authentic names but we bought the Kimchi soup, Sushi (called Crunch rolls) and Bibimbap. Bibimbap is a bowl of food containing veggies, beef, rice and a fried egg placed on top. You then mix it all together and enjoy!
Everything was delicious and hearty. The $30 price tag fed two of us.
The service was excellent. We were put into these cute little booths and they had a bell that you can ring when you needed assistance. Trust me, when you ring the bell, the lady pops up like a second later to help you.
I would recommend this place for the food, price and the service.
