I first knew this brand when I travelled to Taipei for vacation. Whenever I went to Taipei, I would crave for their fruit tea. Yifang gained popularity and branch shops started to open around the globe. I haven’t visited the shops in Centre St and downtown. I realized that Yifang is now in Calgary because of the promotion of CAD2/drink to celebrate the opening of the new store in Beacon Hill.
I visited the store at around 3pm on their 2nd grand opening date. The design is exactly the same as the ones in Taiwan. When I arrived the store, more than 10 people are queuing to buy the drinks. It took me around 10 minutes to place an order, and there’s 30 orders ahead of mine. Therefore, I decided to walk to the near est winners and shop a bit. It finally took me an hour to get the drinks. I have 4 Yifang Fruit Tea (as this one is the most popular one) and it is the only one that I have tried in Taiwan’s. The sweetness is automatically set as 30% less sugar. If you want other level of sweetness, you have to notify the cashier at the time you order.
It tastes exactly like the ones I tried in Taipei. There’s many fruits in the cup, including apple, orange, passionfruit and peach. I highly recommend the others to TRY THIS!!! It’s perfect and healthy drink for SUMMER!!!!

I am a big fan of matcha ice cream! I used to eat a lot when I travelled in Japan. According to Wikipedia, matcha ice cream is originated from Japan. The flavour of those I tried in Japan is often more bitter and stronger than those I tried in other countries. Therefore, I tried a lot matcha ice-cream in Canada and I am always looking for ones that taste similar to those I tried in Japan but I couldn’t.
One day while I shopped for grocery in Sobey, I found that the Haagen Dazs ice-cream is on sale at CAD 4.99 each (original price at CAD 6.99). Therefore, I decided to have a try. The ice cream is creamy and less sweet than I expected (which is good). I can taste the matcha, yet it wouldn’t be as strong as those I tried in Japan.
Overall, i think that it is a good pick given the taste and the price of this product and I would recommend to people who want to try the matcha ice-cream.

I was shopping in Chinook Centre in Calgary on a hot Saturday evening. After 3 hours of crazy shopping, I desperate for something to refresh my mind. I have always by-pass a Yogen Fruz store but I never tried before. The frogen yogurt in Yogen Fruz looks healthy (because they made with real fruit) and yummy. They got many flavours and toppings to choose from and they offer the frozen yogurt 3 sizes.
I tried PEACH YOGURT (without topping). The staff would get a cube of frozen yogurt and some peaches from the freezer and blend them in the yogurt machine. A peachy frozen yogurt is then ready to serve in 30 seconds. The yogurt looks creamy yellow and I couldn’t help myself but to have a bite on it. It is so YUMMY and SMOOTH!! The peach flavour wasn’t too strong but just perfect, and YOU JUST CANT STOP UNTIL THE YOGURT IS DONE!!!
I also tried pineapple ones too, but I like peach ones more. Both tasty awesome but for the pineapple ones, you can see the fibre of the pineapple in the yogurt and it makes the yogurt less smooth. Other than that, it is a good call too.

I have very sensitive skin and used to have eczema for 2 years due to work pressure. My skin is reddish and dehydrated for long (which my skin can be peered off from time to time). I read from reviews saying that BalmBalm product is very suitable for Eczema. I heard about the brand - Balm Balm from social media. Balm Balm is an England organic brand and they offered wide range of products. I have bought 3 balms from their website online as I would like to enjoy the free shipment from UK.
The product I like the most is the BALM BALM Tea Tree Face Balm (30ml). The balm looks solid and smell very tea tree. It starts to melt when you rub them with your finger. I normally use with after cleansing, toner and serum by take out a small amount and rub it gently with fingers before applying on my face. The reason I like is because I am a SUPER LAZY person and sometimes I did not remove my make up thoroughly and will have acne and then pimple from time to time, and when i apply a small amount of the Balm Balm to the affected area at night, the pimple will disappear the next day.
It is a product that I have been using for 7 months and I also use the Rose Geranium Face Balm and the Beauty Balm. The original price is CAD 16 before tax and the official website will offer special discount from time to time, and it often comes with some free samples too! For sure it is a good value of money and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ALL OF YOU!!!!

I have very sensitive skin and used to have eczema for 2 years due to work pressure. My skin is reddish and dehydrated for long (which my skin can be peered off from time to time) and I tried tons of products but seen no improvement. I read from reviews saying that Vichy is derma-based and the products are suitable for sensitive skin. I bought this mask hopefully to provide some moisture to skin.
The texture is jelly like and smells fresh like cucumber. You got to use that twice a week after cleansing and toner by applying a thin layer on the face and let them rest for 5 minutes and massage the excess. For myself, I normally rinse them gently with water and followed by serum and cream.
I have been using this product for half a year and this is the 3rd time I am buying this product as my skin regains moisture with this product!! For the first few time I used, it quickly provides moisture for my skin already and it is SUPER COMFY when the mask is put on the skin (my skin is dry in a way whenever I tried to put on the paper mask my skin will be painful and itchy and I couldn't help but to take off the mask!). I especially like to do it before my makeup now so that my skin and the make-up will STAY PERFECT for whole day!!
The price of this product is CAD34 before tax and I normally get this at around CAD26 when Shoppers Drug Mart is on sale!
