I tried a sample of this product and the first thing I noticed was the calming smell; it's the sort of thing you'd want to smell in colder months so make you forget the weather outside for a few minutes. It feels great on the skin and seems to have added some hydration but I'd have to try more of it on a daily basis to know the long term effects and benefits of its use. -

I was enamoured with this product as soon as I smelled the mango in it. It does foam a little in the shower but not as much as other brands I have tried; that said it leaves skin soft and the smell lingers even after you're dried off and going about your day so make sure you like the smell. I typically use other brands and got this one to try something different; I may buy more of this if it goes on sale but as nice as this smells and as soft as my skin is after using it for now I'm sticking to other brands. -

My dental hygienist gave me a sample tube to try for my sensitive teeth and I was a bit hesitant at first because I'd been using another brand for years and was concerned this might not be as effective. Well this toothpaste I'd say is even better for sensitive teeth than what I had been using. It's a bit pricey but seems to go on sale regularly at grocery chains and pharmacies. I've bought a bunch on sale recently in different varieties of Sensodyne to try; we'll see how they compare to this one. If you have issues with tooth sensitivity I highly recommend this product. -

I was looking for a new lotion to hydrate and protect my skin in wintertime and was a bit gunshy about this product given the price but bought it when it was on sale and am now hooked. It soaks in quickly, isn't greasy and a little goes a long way. Patches of dry skin that were unchanged after using other lotions and creams are now soft again after a few days use. It's well worth the price because you don't need to use alot at a time. I also love that the design of the pump is such that turning to the side and front opens and closes it to use so I can close it after use and not worry if it gets bumped or knocked that any lotion will accidentally come out of the pump and onto the counter etc. I wish I'd known about Cetaphil earlier and am grateful for the sample that turned me on to it in the first place. Now I have a pump bottle in each bathroom for everyday use. Wonderful product worth every penny (even more so if you use coupons posted on their website). -

I've never had a nut mix like this before. It's an unusual combination of flavours that work really well together. They're not overly sweet but have an indulgent taste so the small size package makes sense; you likely won't be binge eating these snacks but will instead eat a few then put the bag away feeling satisfied with a little taste of fruity nutty richness. The price of them is pretty steep for the size of the package but maybe on sale I'd get more or try another flavour combination. The one I tried had macadamia nuts and mango, tangerine and other flavours in it. Funky and fun combination! -
Nature Valley Granola Cups Peanut Butter Chocolate
I wasn't sure what to expect but assumed these would be soft and chewy. Instead they're firm and basically a peanut butter cookie with a chocolate bottom. They do taste good but are messy and crumbly to eat. If you're looking for fancier cookies... +
I wasn't sure what to expect but assumed these would be soft and chewy. Instead they're firm and basically a peanut butter cookie with a chocolate bottom. They do taste good but are messy and crumbly to eat. If you're looking for fancier cookies these'll do but if you want healthy snacks these are not it. -

I noticed the Fine noodles recently at the grocery store and wanted to give them a try. I used to buy the broader egg noodles in this brand years ago and then lost my taste for them. I'm so glad I gave the fine ones a try because they cook fast and satisfy a craving for pasta without feeling like you've eaten a heavy meal afterwards. I think they'll be great in soup as well. I'll be getting more of these as a pantry staple specifically in the fine variety which are like matchstick size rather than the larger broad wavy noodles. -

It's a relief to find a hot chocolate that tastes like its basic ingredients and not like it's made in a science lab. It smells and tastes wonderful and refreshing and the only thing I'd hope for is that this product will be made available in the future with a slightly lower sugar content. It tastes a bit too sweet for my taste buds first thing in the morning but I think until they make a lower sugar option in this line adding some cocoa and more water to dilute that sugar hit will make it perfect for cold mornings.
I had forgotten what normal hot chocolate tastes like and this product reminded me and happily so. I'll be watching for it in larger containers in my local grocery stores because the 400g size tin won't last long in wintertime.

I tried these today and was impressed by how good they tasted. I'd been looking for a replacement for the Fibre One protein bars that no longer are available and this is comparable although the other bars had some crunch to them. These are filling and soft, don't crumble and make a mess when you bite into them and the chocolate didn't melt all over my fingers which I really appreciate!
I'd buy more of these on sale to have as a tide me over snack between meals. And as a way to indulge a chocolate peanut butter craving without the mess.

NIVEA Oil Infused Cherry Blossom & Jojoba Oil Body Lotion

This does soften skin and has a nice scent to it but it took a while to soak in to my skin and in the meantime my skin felt kind of greasy so if you use it be sure you don't have to touch anything for several minutes afterwards. I only had a single use sample of this to try but may try it again to see how it works in Canadian winter when skin dries out more than any other time of the year. -
