This bath bomb smells like citrus (very orangey). It leaves your skin feeling SO silky smooth after soaking in it. But the best part by far of this yellow and orange bath bomb is the surprise pink centre. It was really something to watch it fizz! It left my bath water the most beautiful deep orange color. I really enjoyed every aspect of this bath bomb. I will definitely repurchase. Very indulgent! Smell was very strong and delicious! -
LUSH The Comforter Bubble Bar

I absolutely love this bubble bar!! I cut it into quarters and got 4 baths on it. The smell was a little on the weak side (the bar smells really candy/sweet delicious!) for my taste but that's my fault for being cheap and cutting the bar in 4. It makes beautiful pink bubbles and leaves your skin soft and smelling delicious. It doesn't leave a yucky residue on your skin like some bubble bars. If you're looking for a splurge, give this a try. You really can't beat Lush in the bath department! If you haven't smelled this, you should - the smell is what keeps me coming back for more. -

I much prefer these mini-sized Cadbury crème eggs to the original sized larger ones. They have a bit less filling, which lets you enjoy more of the delicious creamy Cadbury milk chocolate with less sickeningly-sweet-fondant-crème-filling. They're a very satisfying way to squelch my sugar and my chocolate cravings all in one. They are a bit tricky to unwrap (they're covered in foil) when the filling spills out but otherwise no complaints in the packaging department. If you have a sweet tooth, give these a try. They're tasty! -
Kate Spade Day Planner

I absolutely adore this planner. It was a bit of a splurge (on sale for about $30) but worth every penny. The outside is hard like a binder, keeping everything inside safe. It has coils that are the perfect size to tuck my pen into for storage. Inside there is a layout of the entire month, and then the month broken down into days. It gives you a few months before the year starts. This planner also comes with places to tuck your papers into and pages for notes. Very handy, everything you could possibly need. Absolutely recommend this planner! -

I don't often eat processed peanut butter (I prefer the natural stuff) but I decided to give this stuff a try when I saw it on sale.
I'm not a big fan! While it is very creamy, it is also a bit granular and way too sweet for my taste. I much prefer Kraft creamy peanut butter with regards to consistency and taste. If you like a very sweet peanut butter, you might really like Jif, but it wasn't for me.

Tetley Earl Grey Vanilla Specialty Tea

This product comes in a tube with a lid - 24 tea bags for about $4-$5. I love that I can snap the lid back on the tube and put these back in the cupboard - so much better than tea that comes in boxes!
The flavor is good - the Earl Grey is strong and the vanilla is just the right amount. One of my favorite indulgences is to make a latte with this stuff - so, so good! This tea is a staple in my house. I always have it on hand. The price is reasonable and the tea is good. Highly recommend.

My grandma always used to buy these cookies for us as kids, and I continue to buy them now. They go perfectly with my afternoon tea. The oatmeal cookies are just the right amount of crunchy, and the peanut butter filling is smooth and sweet. These are a delicious pre-made cookie option, and considering I often find them at $1.99 per box, the price is right too! -

I purchased Preggie Pops lozenges online at well.ca - about $4.99 for 12 or $6.99 for 12 organic.
They are very sour and come in cherry, lemon, orange and lime flavors. I have been suffering terribly with nausea/morning sickness mostly in the afternoons and I find that if I suck on one of these, it greatly decreases my urge to vomit/gets rid of that super-salivating-mouth-feeling.
I would highly recommend giving these a try for any preggo mama looking for a natural alternative to combat morning sickness (the organic ones, that is!) I have a prescription for anti-nausea medicine but I REALLY don't want to take any pills/expose my baby to that, so I love this option. These are handy to keep in your pocket to pop into your mouth at work - nobody is any the wiser! Essential in the first trimester.

I received this product compliments of Chickadvisor to try for free in exchange for my honest review.
My skin is combination regular/dry - and quite sensitive. I was very surprised when I opened the jar that this product is very heavily scented! It's a fake floral/perfumey smell that I really, really don't like. I think most of us that have sensitive skin prefer scent-free products (or at least way more lightly scented).
Fortunately, despite the strong smell, this product did not/does not irritate my skin.
I do not particularly like the packaging, I would have preferred that this come in a pump bottle. The jar is messy and I feel like I am contaminating it every time I dip into it.
A little bit of this product goes a long way. It spreads evenly and easily over the face, and feels light and smooth. I really liked the feel of it on my skin.
As a primer, this product was a fail for me. It wasn't moisturizing enough (weird, considering it is designed for dry skin and mine isn't even THAT dry). A few hours into the day EVERY SINGLE TIME I wore it, my makeup had lifted and was sitting on top of visible patches of dry skin. GROSS! This NEVER happens with my usual moisturizer that I wear underneath my makeup. No matter what I tried (exfoliating, leaving at least a half hour between primer and makeup application...) nothing worked. This "primer" just caused my makeup to separate from my face. Very strange. I actually had to wash my face in the bathroom at work and just go makeup free because that honestly looked better than the weird patches this stuff left on my face.
I would not purchase this product, nor would I recommend it as a primer for anybody with really dry skin - you're better off with a great moisturizer, in my opinion.

I usually use a regular Gillette Venus razor but decided to give this one a try.
I cannot compare this to a disposable razor, because it has multiple blades (I've never found a disposable with more than 3 blades), but I can compare it to my usual razor.
I love the color of the razor - it is beautiful and purple and goes well with my bathroom décor. The first few shaves were good, but no better than any other razor I have used. The blades seem to get dull faster than my usual Venus razor, maybe because you have to PUSH to active the roller ball? The roller ball idea is a flop. You have to push SO HARD on the razor to activate the roller ball. Shaving with this razor hurt my wrist. This idea is a flop. Stick with regular Gillette Venus, it is less expensive and works better. This gimmick is not worth the extra cost.
