I've been an avid consumer of Nutella for most of my life, but the cost and the use of palm oil have made me hesitate in recent years. I was thrilled to get an opportunity to try Kraft's hazelnut spread as an alternative. Since receiving the sample I've purchased two full-sized bottles and haven't looked back. This stuff is so creamy and smooth and the flavour is perfectly balanced - not too sweet, the hazelnuts are definitely noticeable. I like it better than Nutella by a long shot! -
Pure Leaf Ginger with Orange Blossom pyramid tea bags
This is a warm, comforting tea with the familiar heat of ginger at the forefront. It's very well-balanced, somehow taking very strong flavours but keeping them delicate. I drank it plain, but a dollop of honey would be delicious in it. I also think... +
This is a warm, comforting tea with the familiar heat of ginger at the forefront. It's very well-balanced, somehow taking very strong flavours but keeping them delicate. I drank it plain, but a dollop of honey would be delicious in it. I also think it would make a fantastic iced tea in the summer!

Pure Leaf Pure Matcha tea sachets
The tea has the distinctive fresh, grassy taste of traditional matcha. It is a smidge more subtle, less of the "soapiness" of tea from a tea ceremony, but that's not a bad thing. If anything, it makes it more versatile for folks who might not... +
The tea has the distinctive fresh, grassy taste of traditional matcha. It is a smidge more subtle, less of the "soapiness" of tea from a tea ceremony, but that's not a bad thing. If anything, it makes it more versatile for folks who might not necessarily be familiar with traditional matcha. Certainly, nothing will replace the experience of a proper tea ceremony, but these are a delicious and accessible alternative. They're small and convenient enough to keep in your purse! -

These things really are magic. They get stains off walls, gently clean ceramic cooktops, get rid of soap scum, remove scuffs from pale leather... I'm very sensitive to perfumes, scents, and caustic liquids, so being able to get stains up in an instant without any messy residue or scent is amazing. I always make sure to have some handy. The extra durable ones are great, they last longer and stand up to a good hard scrubbing. -
NIVEA In-Shower Cocoa Butter Body Lotion
This product is a life-changer, especially if you've got dry skin like I do. I hate having to spend time slathering myself in lotion after a shower, and then sitting around waiting for it to absorb before getting dressed. This genius product saves... +
This product is a life-changer, especially if you've got dry skin like I do. I hate having to spend time slathering myself in lotion after a shower, and then sitting around waiting for it to absorb before getting dressed. This genius product saves so much time and effort in the mornings, and my arms and legs haven't felt this soft in years. It also smells incredible! -
COVERGIRL The Supersizer Mascara
This product really lives up to its name. The brush is very skinny and silicone, but somehow it manages to grab every lash and make them full and long. It's definitely a dramatic mascara, so if you're looking for an affordable formula with lots of... +
This product really lives up to its name. The brush is very skinny and silicone, but somehow it manages to grab every lash and make them full and long. It's definitely a dramatic mascara, so if you're looking for an affordable formula with lots of oomph, give it a try! -
St. Ives® Blackhead Clearing Green Tea Scrub

Probably my favourite budget scrub. It's gentle but effective, with natural abrasives. The green tea smells amazing, it's a great pick-me-up in the mornings. I do have sensitive skin, so I only use it once a week, but that's more than enough to keep my skin feeling soft and smooth. -
Dove Sensitive Skin Unscented Body Wash

I have had problematic skin my entire life. It's very dry and very sensitive, and I'm prone to bouts of eczema, severe to the point of bleeding.
I have used Dove Sensitive unscented body wash for years, and I swear by it. Every so often I try a new product but I always find myself going back to my Dove creme. It's the only thing that leaves me feeling clean without making my skin feel tight and dry.

Softlips® LUXE Lip Moisturizer - Creamy Coconut

I was very excited to get these to try out. They're creamy and emollient and smell absolutely wonderful, but they made my lips feel more chapped than before I started testing them. I suspect it's because they seem fairly high in menthol, which can be an irritant for some people. If you like the minty cool feeling of mentholated lip balms then definitely try these out! If, however, you're like me and that sort of product is irritating, you might want to give this one a pass, sadly. -
Q-tips Cotton Swabs
These are classics for a reason. Whether it be cleaning up little makeup mistakes, tidying nail polish oopsies, or (gasp) yes, cleaning your ears, Q-tips are the gold standard. They've got enough cotton to make them soft and comfortable for even the... +
These are classics for a reason. Whether it be cleaning up little makeup mistakes, tidying nail polish oopsies, or (gasp) yes, cleaning your ears, Q-tips are the gold standard. They've got enough cotton to make them soft and comfortable for even the most gentle jobs, but the sticks are sturdy enough to hold up to bigger things. I make sure to always keep a few in my makeup bag and my first-aid kit! -
