This frozen yogourt from Chapman's has the same consistency as ice cream. It's very smooth and creamy and scoops very well. I offered some to a family member and without knowing it was yogourt, they actually thought they were eating ice cream. The cappuccino flavour is true to taste. The coffee flavour isn't too strong, just right. There are chocolate/espresso bits mixed into the yogourt and this is the part that I sort of disliked a little. The amount of chocolate they put in is too much and that's something I rarely say when it comes to chocolate. Since the bits freeze up, they remain hardened and I found myself continuously chewing chocolate which kept getting stuck in my teeth. I feel chocolate shavings or a chocolate swirl would have been a better fit. Other than that, this is a pretty good product, especially if you want a treat that has lower amount of fat and calories than ice cream. -

Mr. Freeze is a great treat for those hot summer months when you're looking for a quick and delicious way to cool down. It's an ice pop that comes in a variety of flavours but my favorites have always been the white, red and purple colours. Brings back great childhood memories and still tastes as good as it did back then. -

I love this line of nail polishes! They are so affordable (I believe I paid mine under $2.00) and they come in a nice range of colours - not an extensive amount, but enough variety to experiment with. The gel formula brushes on so smoothly and it leaves a shiny polished finished, even without a topcoat. I still apply the top coat for added protection though. I'm into my third day wearing it and it still looks as good as the first day I applied it. Two coats of polish is all you need, but you can add a third layer if you really want an opaque finish. I will be collecting more of these soon. The only negative is that the bottle is a little on the smaller side, but still well worth getting. -

This Biotherm lip balm is meant as a treatment for your lips. It's a smooth, rather wet balm without the sticky feeling. It comes in a squeeze tube applicator which makes it easy to glide on your lips, although you do need to be careful not to squeeze out too much product since it is more liquid than most balms. It gives shine, but it's not the type of shine that stands out like a gloss, but rather sinks into the lips giving it a plump, healthy looking finish. It does moisturize but it wears off eventually, therefore reapplication is a must. The spf amount is pretty decent for a lip balm. I adore the sweet scent and taste the balm has - almost like fruity candy. The price is pretty expensive. I believe I paid over $20 for it so it was definitely a splurge item. -

A must have in your nail care routine! This is a blend of nourishing oils (avocado, almond, grapeseed, aloe vera) and beneficial vitamins that give dry nails and cuticles a healthy, shiny finish. The pen/marker applicator tip makes brushing on very simple. I apply the oil to both the cuticles and the nail beds and rub it in with my fingers. It absorbs fairly quickly and doesn't leave a greasy mess behind. I also love the sweet almond scent it has. Very inexpensive too! I purchased mine for $1.00 and it has lasted me quite a while. Excellent product! -

I received a sample of this product recently. It's a powdered supplement that provides magnesium, vitamin C and electrolytes. It's meant to be stirred and dissolved into water which then creates an effervescent/fizzy drink. It is supposed to be orange flavoured.
My initial reaction was that it was not so bad and the orange flavour was pretty good. It reminded me of Tang and it was initially easy to drink. I was ready to give it a good review but then the medicinal aftertaste started kicking in. It's not as fizzy as the packaging describes. When I think of fizzy, I think soda pop fizzy. This was more flat in nature.
I do think it's a great format to consume your vitamins, especially if you have trouble swallowing them and it's completely free of artificial colors and flavours, so thumbs up for that. However, I just can't see myself purchasing this to drink on a daily basis. Good concept, but the taste needs improvement.
In terms of the effects this has on the body, I didn't consume this for such a long period of time to notice long lasting benefits, but after one dose, I did feel a little more energized and the tension headache I had went away naturally. I'm assuming it was due to this product because it was the only thing that was different in my diet.

I bought this for a young child a few months ago and after observing him play with it, I'm very happy with the purchase. It's such a simple toy but it allows for so much fun. It's made of a sturdy plastic which will last quite some time and the bowling balls are easy for a child to grab and throw. Since the pins are multicolored, you can even create pattern games. They do make noise when the pins drop to the floor, so I would suggest this as an outdoor game, especially if you're intent on peace and quiet in the house. I found that carrying case to be very convenient and a good way for the child to learn how to put away his toys in a neat manner. Very affordable too! -

I received samples of these gums recently and was quite surprised to find that they were in the long stick shape rather than the typical tablet shape Excel is known for. I loved how easy it was to chew and the flavors (both spearmint and peppermint) were not too sweet, yet refreshingly minty. I like that they are naturally sweetened, so you don't have to worry about consuming artificial ingredients like aspartame. The flavour lasts a long time and is great to chew after you've had a meal so that your breath smells clean and fresh. -
Orville Redenbacher Popcorn Chips Buttery

These are by far the most flavourful popcorn chips I've tried. They taste just like the popcorn you would get at a movie theatre, but it's in the form of a chip instead. The texture is super crispy and doesn't taste stale like some other varieties I've tried. Good portion size for each individual chip and you can eat 30 chips which results in 180 calories. Not bad! It claims to have 60% less fat than your regular potato chips, so it's an alternative if you're really craving a salty snack. -

A friend of mine had me try this cream and I've been obsessed with it ever since! It really transforms, dull dry skin into being glowing and smooth afterwards. It also has diminished the red bumps from keratosis pilaris, on the back of my arms, making me less self conscious about exposing them. I love how silky soft my skin feels and the scent is light and fresh. I'm constantly wanting to reapply because it works so well. I first bought this in the tub format but since switched to the bottle with the pump. Much more hygienic this way. -
