This is a favorite in my home! Not overly sweet and the right amount of coconut flavoring makes this pie worthy of a second helping. The textures also go very well together - from the graham crust to the creamy filling and a topping of whipped cream, the combination makes for a yummy experience. It's the perfect dessert when you want something indulgent, yet light tasting. I usually let it thaw completely to room temperature, but it's also delicious to eat at a colder temperature. -

I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review and opinion. After testing it out for the past week or so, I can say I'm really enjoying the mascara. I chose the color black and even with my fair complexion, it's not too harsh for my skintone. The mascara's wand is very unique as it twists and curves, so as you glide it along your lashes, it grabs onto them from root to tip. I applied two coats and did not experience any clumping. The mascara claims to give you 50X the volume. I did see a big difference. My lashes looked longer and more full, almost giving them a false lash effect. The only thing I didn't like is the fact that the wand's applicator is so thick. I tried to be very careful when applying the product, but was so worried about poking myself in the eye. I would have preferred something a little smaller. Otherwise, good formula! -

My siblings and I used to play with this toy car when we were little and loved it. It's amazing how it's still being sold today. This lasted us for so many years and it never fell apart, even after excessive use. The seat fits one child at a time and there's a compartment in the back to fit any toys he/she may want to carry along. Great, imaginative fun for any toddler and young child. -

I've tried quite a few products from NutriGrain over the years and so far, these have been the most disappointing to me. In essence, they are crunchy oat bars with a layer of yogourt on the bottom. They look really appetizing on the packaging but it's not an accurate representation of what you actually get. The first thing I noticed is that the bars are really half the size. I expected them to be much longer. The yogourt layer on the bottom seemed thick on the packaging but you really get just a thin layer. It is the tastiest element but without it, the bars would be really bland and dry. I would not repurchase these. -

I was gifted these gummies recently and have been enjoying them ever since. They come in a variety of cute shapes and taste really good. The flavours are pretty accurate, matching the shape of each. For instance, the cola shaped gummy tastes just like a soda pop! This one was also my favourite out of the bunch. Each gummy is pretty big and there are quite a few in the bag, definitely giving you your money's worth. Although they do stick together in the bag, it's not difficult to pull them apart and keep their original shape. The only problem I have is that they can be a little hard to chew, especially if you have sensitive teeth, but that's to be expected with this type of candy. -

These vegetable spring rolls are tasty and a great addition to any party menu or as part of a meal. The taste is flavourful and with the addition of a sweet, plum dipping sauce, it's hard to eat just one. I was surprised that it only contained veggies since the filling's texture did taste like it contained meat. The size of each spring roll is very generous. They are meant to be baked, however I kept them in a few minutes longer than the recommended time in order to get them to be crispy. They are free of MSG, preservatives and trans fats, making them a wiser choice, however, since they are still a processed food, they should be eaten in moderation. Good product overall. -

This is a great product for kids 3 and up to play with. It helps with their creativity and fine motor skills as they shape/model the colorful "dough" into any shape their imagination desires. My students have loved working with it throughout the years. The only negative is that it can dry out rather quickly and once this starts to happen, it is more prone to crumbling and falling apart. I suggest sealing it in its container right after the child is done playing. Keeping the colors in their original shade can also be a challenge as they will all mix together and form a mess once two colors are shaped together. Overall, a fun product. -

I purchased this vacuum on sale as a replacement for an older Bissell model which lasted me close to 10 years and was of great quality. I thought this would live up to the same standards but after about a month using it, I have to say I was wrong. Here is a breakdown of it's features:
Pros:
- You don't need to purchase bags, so that will save you money in the long run.
- The canister is easy to remove from the vacuum's body. Also easy to open for emptying.
- It comes with interchangeable tools.
- You can switch from carpet mode to floor mode with the flip of a switch.
- You can turn on the machine and flip the mode switch by pressing it with your foot instead of bending down.
- Retractable power cord.
- Affordable price - under $100 on sale.
Cons:
- Cheaply made. The main black hose is made of plastic and doesn't feel very sturdy. I sometimes fear I'm about to break it and it gets twisted easily as I'm vacuuming. There was one instance where I had to rush to straighten it out because I thought it was going to snap.
- The vacuum's body is on the heavy side, so if you want to lift it to better position yourself, it could get cumbersome. The suction also lessens in strength once lifted, so you can't really vacuum while you're holding it.
- Even at it's full strength, the suction isn't that powerful. I need to pass the vacuum over the same spot a few times before I'm sure it's clean. Even at that, I'll still find spots here and there that weren't well done. Works better on floors than on carpets. It doesn't give me the deep carpet clean I was looking for. I still need to pick off pet hair or debris afterwards.
- If you suffer from allergies or asthma, this is not the vacuum for you! I can actually smell the dust while I'm vacuuming, which means it's just going back into the air.
- Emptying the canister is actually a nightmare! The dust and debris clumps up but doesn't completely fall into the trash can. Dust accumulates on the inside part of the lid which needs to be scraped off. Pet hair, human hair and thicker dust gets wound up around a compartment in the middle of the canister and gets stuck there. I have to pick it manually. Not very hygienic! Again, the dust travels everywhere, so when you're done dumping out the contents, you're breathing in dust. There's also a painted on layer of dust on the exterior of the canister after you close it up again. This means extra work, since you'll be wiping it with a damp cloth after every use.
- The interchangeable attachments can be placed on a special holding piece attached to the extension tube. However, they keep falling off.
- The vacuum itself is difficult to manoeuver as the wheels are pretty big and clunky. They keep getting stuck against the furniture, which needs me to stop vacuuming and reset it's position.
- There is a metal extension tube, however, even at it's full length, I still find myself bending down to vacuum. Not great if you suffer from a bad back and/or neck.
- The power cord isn't as long as I'd like it to be. I find myself switching outlets often in order to finish the entire area. If you're not careful, the retractable feature can coil the cord too quickly, mangling it. I can see this feature not working as well in the future.
Although the idea of a bagless vacuum at an affordable price was great, I would skip this model completely. Too many negative features to worry about and it doesn't live up to expectations. I would gladly spend more on any other vacuum to not have to deal with this one again.

Fantastic eraser! Does a good job at erasing pencil marks and it lasts a long time too. This is the brand I recommend for all students to use. I usually discard of the paper wrapper as it does get ruined eventually. Other than that, great product!

This is the first eye cream where I've actually noticed visible results after continuous use. It does exactly what they say it will do, which is to decrease fine lines and wrinkles and hydrate and firm up the sensitive skin around the eye area. In order to help with this, they've built in a special tip applicator which pumps out the right amount of cream and helps to massage it into the browbone and undereye area. I've also used my fingers from time to time when I'm in a rush and all you really need is a few dots of the product in order for it to be effective. Therefore, although the cost is high for a drugstore product, you will get your money's worth. The cream itself absorbs very quickly and isn't greasy at all, which is great if you're applying makeup right after. I definitely saw my fine lines diminish dramatically and the skin is more supple and firm. I absolutely love this!! Highly recommended! -
