Although these things aren't exactly the healthiest snack - they keep me from woofing back a bag of chips with a chocolate bar. The taste is awesome, nothing beats sweet mixed with salty! The price isn't too bad if you can find them on sale, or a coupon.
All in all, they are something that is always kept in stock in our cupboards :0)

Goody Ouchless Hair Elastics

I've been buying "ouchless" elastics for what seems like an eternity now, I honestly can't remember life without them - oh wait - yah, I CAN! I still have a scar on my right thumb from the metal of an elastic from when I was a kid!
Anyway, I no longer have the need for these as my hair is short - but for my daughter, these are all I'll use! No metal scraping my fingers, no tangled hair stuck in the elastic - and best of all, they're "elastic" enough to actually hold hair and not let it fall out while running or playing...
The price is right, there's a colour available to match everything, and they surprisingly last a LONG while.. Thank you Goody :0)

TRESemme TRESemme Oooh lala!
This product here has been a long standing favourite of mine. I've sadly never read the instructions (yes, terrible I know) I just spray it in towel dried hair, blow dry, straighten, and VIOLA! It smells wonderful, makes my hair shiny, and keeps my hair feeling lightweight rather than "gunked".
The price is perfect, and most times there are money saving coupons floating around for this stuff!
I've always promoted this product, along with many other TRESemme products - love it! If you haven't tried it - GET IT! You won't regret it :0)

Well, I have to say, I've fallen into the craze of foam hair colour. This was my first time trying the John Freida foam, and I'm truly impressed!
The smell of the product wasn't as bad as I was anticipating (who likes the smell of hair dye?), it went on smooth and easy - my favourite part - the container was easy to handle while applying the dye. The last foam product I used the container was rather awkward - so kuddos to John Freida for taking this into consideration! The finished product - a shiny HEALTHY looking head of hair that smelled fantastic, felt great, and had perfect coverage!
I would definitely recommend this product to anyone!

After my Palm Pre bit the dust and was no longer available, I decided to try the overly hyped Blackberry. My selection was the purple Blackberry Curve 8520.
The look and feel: I hated. Coming from my Pre, the Blackberry felt cheap and I was scared I would break it.
Performance: I was not impressed. From the very day I got my phone 1.5 years ago, it has always froze and required a battery pull to bring it around. I find it very limiting with it's options for web browsers, and do not care for how it works with Wi-Fi.
It is however still working, so it's lasted longer than I thought it would. I'm one eager chick to see this contract go by faster - good-bye Blackberry!
Wouldn't buy again, and wouldn't recommend. Sorry Blackberry!

I almost fainted from excitement when I saw that I could review ClearlyContacts.ca! Let me tell you - these folks saved my eyesight, and my wallet!
I "liked" their fan page on facebook last year and was pleasantly surprised about a month later. These lovely people had a promotion going on that first time customers got their first pair of glasses free with a special coupon code. Skeptical? YES.. But if anyone knows me, I can't turn down a good deal OR a freebie!
I found a pair of frames that I loved and hit the checkout. I added a few extras to the lenses (that cost me a bit more) BUT my total price was $23.00! How freakin fantastic is that? They were shipped quickly and I was overly impressed with the quality, feel, and look of the frames.
ClearlyContacts almost always has some kind of promotion going on, and even without one, their prices are far more affordable than other optical dispensers.
5 out of 5 for this amazing establishment, and a huge thank you from a chick that can finally see again! :0)

What can I say - Always is ALWAYS the best! Well ok, maybe that's going overboard, but this product is fantastic.
This is one review that I wont go in to gushy detail with - lucky you! But it does everything it should, in all the places it needs to be. Great comfort, flexibility, and best of all, a great price. Women's products tend to be over-priced, especially the ones we need, so it's nice to see something affordable that works! Not too mention you can always find these on sale somewhere, and usually a few coupons to boot.
A great product from a wonderful company that know what women need - and where they need it! Enough said!
Will always buy these and definitely recommend! 5 stars :0)

Let me start by clarifying that I am the ultimate Cover Girl chick.. It is the ONLY company I have ever turned to for my "foundation" needs since I was a teen. So when my local pharmacy was out of stock with my usual CG Foundation, I figured I'd give this one a go.
This line of foundation has the same names for colours as does the True Blend line, so I figured finding the correct tone shouldn't be impossible. Well, I guess I was wrong. I bought my "Classic Ivory" for $3.00 more than my normal foundation and home I went.
When I first applied it, it felt more like a cream, kind of a nice texture until I couldn't get it to blend in (YIKES!) Have you ever put a lotion on your face that just wont seem to blend in? Well that's how I felt with this. Perhaps I took too much? So I tried using less product the next time - still same problem.
The colour was a far cry from the "Classic Ivory" I normally use. My face looked chalky white, definitely not a very cute look for me.
I personally wouldn't buy this product again, nor would I recommend it to anyone. I am surprised and sad to say it because I truly do love Cover Girl products - I'm just not digging this one.

I have to say, I was rather excited to try the new L'Oreal Sublime Mousse. I had never tried a mousse or foam colour before, so I found this a great chance!
First of all, the packaging caught my attention (I'm a sucker for appearance). There didn't seem to be a whole lot of shades to choose from, I'm not sure if it's because of product availability or perhaps the store I went to just didn't have great stock. Anywho...
Mixing the solution was rather painless - I've made my share of messes with dye's before, eek! The smell is something to be desired. It still has the same old "hold your breath" fumes as most dyes typically do. I was impressed with the consistency - it actually felt like mousse! The product applied very easily with no mess, however, for a person with small hands, the pump applicator sucks once your hands have the mousse on them. I had to sit it on the table to pump it as it kept slipping from my hands.
When I began, I had 2 tone hair (don't ask!) so I was extremely impressed to see that for the first time in months I finally had one solid colour of hair with nice highlights! The product has amazing coverage and a gorgeous finished look! And of course, the conditioner that comes with it is fantastic.
It has been 2 weeks since my hair was done and it's still smooth, shiny, and NOT dead - now that alone is worth everything to me!
Overall - The product is great and I'd highly recommend it to anyone. The applicator itself I could do without, but perhaps I just need to grow bigger hands :0)
