I've always been a huge supporter of Chapman's products. It brings cool products like this strawberry frozen yogurt. It's creamy and has real strawberries, but doesn't pack as many calories as regular ice cream can.
As someone who experienced her second stomach ulcer in her life last week, yogurt-based products are good for my gut health. This product helps keep my stomach and me happier.
I went crazy having scoops of this delicious frozen yogurt with my fancy new ice cream scoop. It was a dream scooping without using a ton of muscle effort.
I also did a root beer strawberry float. It was excellent!
Give frozen yogurt a try. Support a Canadian company. Kick off your Summer on a high frozen yogurt note!

I have been a fan of Daiya products for a while and love its line of pizzas. I was thrilled that it now offers personal-sized pizzas. Sometimes, I want a snack and this size is perfect.
I had no problem finding this product at my local Your Independent Grocer. I got the veggie flavour.
I love that this pizza is dairy-free and gluten-free. I am borderline lactose-intolerant, so it's refreshing to not worry about dairy. Daiya has my back!
If you want a quick snack, it takes five minutes to prepare in your air fryer. If you want it crispier, you can add a couple of minutes.
I wanted a crispier crust and went with my toaster over. I used a rack to place my pizza on it and have it crisp up. I baked it at 425⁰F for 15 minutes.
This pizza was heavenly! The dairy-free cheese is made with Daiya Oat Cream™ blend. It melts nicely and produces a good cheese pull.
The crust was crispy and perfect. I loved the sauce and veggies. Yummy!
You get two pizzas in the box. I was delighted to have the other pizza a couple of days later.
Each pizza is 330 calories. Decent! I highly recommend it.

NOW Ultra Omega-3 - 1,000 mg
I love NOW's Ultra Omega-3 because it doesn't smell fishy when you crack open the bottle. There is no fishy aftertaste after you swallow these capsules, which is great. I like that the capsules have a matte finish, so they are easier to hold on to.

I love Myoflex 20% maximum strength deep-penetrating pain relief rub. As of late, I've been achy, including my knuckles and wrists. I like that this rub is odour-free. No one knows that you're using the product because you don't smell like a medicine cabinet. It works well in relieving pain in my knuckles and wrists. It absorbs nicely and the relief lasts longer than I had anticipated! -

Roughly two years ago, I got into hot honey. I like drizzling it on pizza, chicken, wings, veggies, and more. It's also great in marinades.
The Halifax Honey Stingin' Hot Honey ZOMBEE edition uses unpasteurized honey. I like it because the honey retains its natural enzymes, antioxidants, pollen, and propolis for maximum health benefits.
This company infuses its various hot honey flavours with hot peppers. It also makes their honey varieties in small batches, and bottles and ships their products out of Bedford.
I got to try the Stingin' Hot Honey ZOMBEE edition. The company calls its "fearless flavour experience."
Will I die being fearless?!
This honey flavour is pollinated by killer bees. It also has the company's hottest blend of hot pepper mash that produces an extreme heat infusion.
I was excited to try it. I had leftover sushi rice that I had stored in my freezer before I left for the Twin Cities. I thawed it in the fridge and then used it to make crispy sushi rice with fried eggs for breakfast yesterday.
I wasn't sure how hot it would be. I drizzled some of this ZOMBEE hot honey on it. It was so good! It does have a heat burn that lingers. However, I didn't find it to be extremely hot that I was downing dairy products afterwards to douse the fire in my mouth out.
It's got a nice, bold flavour to it. It's great.
It comes in a sturdy squeeze bottle. I liked that I could control how much honey I wanted to use and I didn't make a mess. The hot honey that I was using before trying this ZOMBEE version came in a glass jar, which required using a spoon to drizzle it.
I am happy with my hot honey. I'm a fan.

I am fairly new to menopause and its symptoms. I tend to run hot body temperature-wise in general.
I noticed within the last couple of years that I run even hotter than usual. Wearing long-sleeved shirts or hoodies would make me roll up my sleeves instinctually. I need hoodies with a front zip that allow me to peel them off when I feel like I'm overheating.
I'd also wake up in the night hot. I don't wear flannel pajamas, opting for cotton. I'd need to turn on the fan to cool me down and dry off.
I also get achy more often than usual. I put these symptoms together and figured that I was perimenopausal. I feel that I have graduated to being menopausal.
There needs to be more conversations about this phase in a woman's life. I had to do a lot of research, followed by talking to friends about it.
Weliva has helped a lot. I've been taking a small Weliva pill each day for the last seven weeks. It's a smaller pill than the over-the-counter brand that I was taking. Weliva is effective.
I don't wake up in the middle of the night sweating profusely anymore. I am less achy and fatigued. I'd say that I started off with mild symptoms. My symptoms are practically non-existent. I do get achy now and again, but it's not horrible.
It's a bonus that this Weliva is a naturally sourced product. I'm happy that it works well for me.

I like that this Mastercraft picture hanging kit has everything that you need to hang any picture frame up on a wall:
- Stubby hammer
- Two pencils
- Pencil sharpener
- Magnetic stud finder
- Mini level
- Box of hardware:
- Picture-hanging hardware (94 pieces)
- Wall anchor hardware (56 pieces)
- Carrying bag
The carrying bag is great. I can separate the pencils and sharpener from the rest of the items.
The magnetic stud finder has strong magnets. It works effectively to find studs in the wall. It also loves attaching to the mini level that also has a convenient magnet. Both have levels.
The mini level is awesome, as it can balance on top of your picture frame. It measures both vertically and horizontally. It's easy to read, which is great in a mini.
The pencils come in handy. The sharpener was effective.
There is a lot of hardware to hang your picture frames and anchor them to your walls. If you are fairly experienced hanging picture frames, you'll be fine. However, if you're a novice, this kit doesn't comes with a how-to leaflet on hanging picture frames. It would be nice if it did as a reference for everyone. Otherwise, you need to do some side research and learning beforehand.
The stubby hammer is awesome. It's comfortable to grip and it's got a decent weight to hammer. I like that it's smaller for picture-hanging tasks. You don't need a full-sized hammer!
This kit came in handy. I got to put up some original artwork in picture frames from two special people. ☺️
Thanks for the opportunity to flex my framing skills and use this fine kit.

The pancake mix indicates that it's made with Saskatoon berries, which provides the purple part of the product's name.
I poured the product into a mixing bowl. I liked how fine the mix was.
I did something different after seeing the texture of this pancake mix. I thought it would be better as a loaf. I changed course by adding water, maple syrup, and bacon to the mix.
I also didn't want to put it in a traditional loaf pan because it may take longer to bake given how tall the loaf would rise. Instead, I used a 9 x 9 silicone baking pan.
While mixing this mix, I love how fluffy the batter got. It mixed well.
I put it in to bake in the oven at 375⁰F for 45 minutes. It smelled good. The tip was crispy. The interior was moist. I loved the different textures.
The purple colour was extremely faint after my loaf was done. The berry flavour was extremely subtle. I wish that there were more Saskatoon berries in this pancake mix.
The bacon helped bring out the yumminess of the pancake mix flavours. The maple syrup and water helped with the moisture. The grains kept me full and satisfied.
This pancake mix was great. I'd put in blueberries next time and make this loaf again. I'd also make traditional pancakes. I'm sure they'd be excellent.

This product is awesome!
I like that I'm able to adjust the light's angle. I can move it up and down, as well as 360⁰. The grip is comfortable and non-slip.
I can easily hang it up on hook or rod to see what I'm doing handsfree. The hook swivels, which is awesome. I can adjust it either 180⁰ or 360⁰. This side also shows the battery indicator. I have three bars, so it's got a lot of power left.
The charging options are flexible. It accepts either a USB C or A connection. Charging is recommended every three months. The battery is lithium and is rechargeable through USB. The charge time is between four to five hours. It's decent considering that having the light on the strobe setting will last nine hours.
The power button is large. I appreciate it as a woman with big fingers!
The tripod is built into the grip stick part of the light. There is a slight gap between the two tripod legs. When you separate them and rotate them away from each other, you see the entire tripod. Adjust the tripod legs to suit your needs.
The tripod has magnets at the base of each leg. I put it on the hood of my car with snow and this light wouldn't budge.
The light is impressive at 1600 lumens.
There are three lighting modes:
- Low
- High
- Strobe
I have stopped by a gas station late at night that had poor lighting. I could have used this light to see the gas pump and fuel safely without whipping out the flashlight option on my phone.
I have also been known to drop items, like my phone, that ends up under my car. This light is so bright that it's easy to spot the phone in a dark setting.
The strobe light is peace of mind if I ever have an issue with my car at night and am waiting for assistance from a tow truck.
It's a solid product.

joni Incontinence Pad Medium

My mom has been going through incontinence issues these days. I find that this topic isn't discussed much in my circle.
I'm guessing that it's not a thing to openly talk about in my culture. My dad isn't good with change, let alone knowing about female incontinence products.
You also don't have to be at an advanced age to experience incontinence. You could have a weak pelvic floor from having a baby or you sneeze hard that triggers leakage.
I was thrilled to receive two boxes of @joni incontinence pads. Thanks to @thisisbutterly for letting me try them for free.
These pads are good for the environment, as they are made with sustainably sourced plant-based materials. It also has an ultra-absorbent core and a soft, breathable top sheet to keep you dry and confident.
What stuck me about these pads is that they are exceptionally thin. They are thinner than the competition's incontinence liner!
These pads do keep you dry and comfortable. They work nicely. No bulkiness at all!
I do have a couple of points of improvement:
The adhesive doesn't go all the way to the ends of the pad. There's roughly an inch that doesn't stick between where the absorbent core ends and the end of the pad. The ends tend to lift off your underwear, which you don't want when you are guarding against leakage. The entire pad should stay down.
The other is the word, incontinence, written on each pad's wrapper. I don't know if that's the case with all pads that this product creates, but most women experiencing incontinence don't want this issue boldly written on the pad's wrapper. Discreet is neat and better!
If you want a less bulky pad for incontinence issues, give Joni a try. Other than the two issues that I have mentioned, it's a nice alternative to the mainstream pads that aren't good for the environment.
You can get Joni at London Drugs (online and in stores), well.ca, and some Whole Foods and Costco stores.
