Kitchenaid Professional Stand Mixer
Bought my mixer when it was 60% off! So definitely wait for sales. The mixer is going to last a long time and does so many things. It's easy to use and to change attachments.

I have been wanting to get an ActiFry for a long time, and one day stumbled upon a 2in1 at Value Village. I am so glad I got it! We have made donuts, chicken wings, roasted chickpeas, perogies, sweet potato fries (both handcut and frozen), and granola (8 min!). It is so useful and easy to clean! Most things take a bit of oil, but many things - like chicken and granola - don't require any additional oil.
I can't say whether I would buy it at full price - I mean, I didn't - but I think that especially if you can get one on sale, this is worth the cost!

This protein shake is awesome! It was in a convenient container so I didn't have to scoop and mix, so I just grabbed it on the go. I grabbed it to have on the bus first thing in the morning when I didn't have time to eat breakfast before work. I found it didn't fill me up like a meal, but helped me wake up with some energy and hold me over until I could eat. The only issue I had was the taste. It had that chalky taste and mouth-feel that I loathe from of protein shakes and I could barely get it down.
I would highly recommend this to anyone who gets hungry between meals, especially as a snack at work. #gotitfree

I really enjoyed this vanilla protein shake! It was in a convenient container so I didn't have to scoop and mix, so I just grabbed it on the go. I grabbed it to have on the bus first thing in the morning when I didn't have time to eat breakfast before work. I found it didn't fill me up like a meal, but helped me wake up with some energy and hold me over until I could eat. And the flavor was great! It didn't have that chalky mouth-feel like so many other protein drinks. I would highly recommend this to anyone who gets hungry between meals, especially as a snack at work. -
KIND Sweet Pretzel Crunch Bar
I really dislike traditional granola bars, but I wish I liked them because of the convenient snack factor. But alas! I received a bar of KIND's new flavor with mixed nuts, salted caramel, and pretzel and it fills that void! It is so delicious.

I am not a fan of granola bars, so I was really hoping that these bars would be an alternative I loved.
Tough luck.
I like that the bars are individually wrapped for on the go, and the blueberries were a nice touch that add some moisture to the bar.
Unfortunately they were dense, dry, and had a bitter taste that I did not enjoy. I wasn't impressed with the ingredients and think there are many other snacks that would be more nutritious. Also, they were very difficult to track down as I had to go to multiple stores to find them.

I was really excited to try this product because I absolutely LOVE chocolate chip oatmeal muffins! So, I was incredibly disappointed in these ones.
I love that they are individually packaged and perfect for on the go. I also like that they're not overly sweet.
But...I found them to be pretty dry leading to an odd texture/slightly bitter taste. The taste is so similar to those really cheap multi-packs I buy at the supermarket/you get at hotel continental breakfasts.
Overall, it's an okay muffin, but nothing special, and certainly not worth the price. I would not recommend these to a friend that I like.

I have incredibly dry and sensitive hands, while absolutely despising the greasy feeling that many moisturizers leave. This product works the best I have ever felt! on a scale of 1-10, I would say it leaves about a 4 for greasiness (10 being the worst). My hands feel silky soft. And the smell! It's the best! -

I snatched up this product when it was on major clearance, so I can't say I would have bought it at full price, but I sure am glad I have it. This moisturizes my lips like nothing else! And the feeling lasts, so much so that often a few hours later when I want to drink something, I have to wipe some off my lips so I don't taste it (I LOVE the smell...not so much the taste). -
NIVEA Cocoa Butter Body Cream
I picked up this product for free from NIVEA, but I am in love! I cannot emphasize enough how dry my hands are (both in winter and summer), and with daily moisturizing. I apply this product fairly liberally before bed and I wake up with my hands... +
I picked up this product for free from NIVEA, but I am in love! I cannot emphasize enough how dry my hands are (both in winter and summer), and with daily moisturizing. I apply this product fairly liberally before bed and I wake up with my hands feeling super soft, and that feeling lasts throughout the day.
The only downside is the slightly greasy feeling it leaves (not any worse than most products, but I am very sensitive to that feeling).
I would highly recommend this product!
