This is the kind of product that you never knew existed, but always needed. It's a great alternative to heavy lotions or even for use when you want something a bit lighter and subtle. Very moisturizing and has such an mellow but intoxicating fragrance to it. I much prefer the feeling of this product on my skin compared to creams and lotions. Might just be my new go-to for my daily moisturizing needs. -

I'm all for the occasional kids game that provides hours of mindless entertainment (even as an adult, I need some myself from time to time - lol), but when you're able to design a game that's simple in concept, yet simultaneously challenges a child's mind and physical dexterity, then you're onto something that will be invaluable in a child's persona development. Add to that the fact that it's within everyone's budget and has virtual endless replayability, simply by changing the pattern of the solution, and it's a win-win for parents and kids alike. -
League of Legends Zed Collectible Figure (6-inch)

As far as posable collectible action figures go, I'd have to say that the produce is well made. The material is of premium quality and the paint job is very precise. It has 18 points of articulation so you're able to pose it more precisely than most other figurines on the market. I also like that it comes with a stand so that you can display it after you've configured it to your desired pose. I guess those are details an older market would appreciate but as far as a children's toy is concerned, if you're a LoL fan, then it's definitely a product worth considering. -
Chapman’s Premium Pistachio and Almonds Ice Cream

I've always been a fan of Chapman's ice cream (and a superfan of ice cream in general), so when I heard that there was an opportunity to try out a new flavour, I was like "Where do I sign?!?!". LOL. What surprised me the most was the flavour combination. For a lot of people, pistachios and almonds probably aren't the first flavour choice that comes to mind when you ask them what their favourite ice cream is, but as a descendent of Italian parents, I used to frequently spend time in Little Italy with my family as a child and purchase gelato from many of the ice cream shops in the area, and this was one of the most popular flavour combinations that people would order, myself included. The triple-threat for me was an ice cream cone filled with lemon, pistachio and hazelnut gelato (or limone, pistacchio and torrone, if you ever want to order it in proper Italian). While there are subtle nuances that differ between Chapman's and the ones I used to order, mainly due to the fact that ice cream and gelato are prepared differently lending to different taste and texture profiles (gelato being softer and richer), they've faithfully recreated the gelato experience I once enjoyed and looked forward to as a child. Although French Vanilla is usually my go-to ice cream indulgence nowadays, I can honestly say that Chapman's Pistachio and Almonds will have a spot waiting for it in my freezer. :0) -

Before I review the deodorant itself, I felt it was worth mentioning the thought that the company put into the packaging itself. The tall, lean, feminine-esque design lends itself to being securely held while applying to the underarms. In place of a small dial, the company designed as fully rotatable base whereby each 180 degree rotation pushes the deodorant stick up a few millimeters, which is great for anyone suffering from arthritis as it's easier to manage, and also allows for precise control on how much product is consumed/used with each turn.
As for the deodorant itself, it initially looks more like an anti-perspirant than it does a deodorant because of the white colour, but make no mistake that this product does not leave any messy white residue when applied. It goes on smooth and silky, and quickly tries without leaving behind any tacky film. The scent is delicate but intoxicating, and surprisingly more reminiscent of a luxury perfume than an underarm deodorant. The absence of any alcohol or aluminum is extremely important to me due to my sensitive and easily irritable skin, and I can say with confidence that I had no discomfort or irritations resulting from the use of this product. I highly recommend this product to anyone also suffering from sensitive skin. The only difficulty is deciding which scent to choose!

From the user-friendly packaging, to the quality deodorant within, Degree did a great job with this product. The tall, slender packaging makes it easy to hold and apply without losing one's grip. The traditional adjustable dial at the bottom has been replaced with a rotatable base that allows for precise portion control and makes it easier to adjust for those that suffer from arthritis. Even the packaging at the top where you apply the product has been curved downward to follow the natural curvature of the armpit for a clean application and prevents scraping of the armpit by the packaging.
With regards to the deodorant, the main selling point is that it doesn't contain any aluminum or alcohol so it won't dry or irritate your skin like other products that contain those ingredients. And surprisingly, despite not being an overpowering scent, the product also does a wonderful job at masking smelly armpit odours. It's a great product that looks good and works well and I highly recommend it, particularly to anyone with sensitive skin or prone to developing rashes or irritation with their current deodorant.

I actually purchased this product on the advice of the head pharmacist, as I had walked into the store for an entirely different product altogether, and she had just received a shipment of this product. I bought this for my mom who suffers from chronic arthritis and joint pain in her shoulders, arms, hands and legs. The one I purchased came in a roll-on format which has 3 stainless steel roller balls. In the short amount of time that she's been using it, she says that's it's been very effective in managing her pain, and moreso than many of the other products that she's used in the past. This is coming from a person who has tried literally every product that you'll find on the shelf at your local pharmacy, and even some products purchased from independent manufacturers/distributors. If you read the ingredient list on the bottle, you can see that it is an all-natural formulation and made with extracts/ingredients that are well-know to have remedial effects for joint/arthritic pain sufferers. And value-wise, it's much more affordable than some of the other all natural products that she's tried. Only word of caution is in regard to the odour as it does have that familiar powerful scent that you would find in a product that contains camphor, arnica or menthol, so it's probably best that you use it in the evening, and use an odourless product like Myoflex during the day. -

I'm not one that regularly uses facial moisturizers daily, but I had an opportunity to pick this up and am I glad I did. I've been prone to acne my entire life, well into adulthood, and to this day I still get small breakouts every now and then. This formulation goes on very nicely on the skin and doesn't leave your skin feeling dry or sticky. After using it for a few days, there was a noticeable change to the plumpness, elasticity and texture of my skin. Perhaps because I've been depriving my skin of a regular moisturizing regimen, I probably experienced more noticeable results in a shorter period of time than some other people who have an established skincare routine might, but I'm very satisfied with the product so far and would recommend it to others, especially anyone that has sensitive skin like I do or is prone to breakouts. -

I'm not a coffee aficionado by any stretch of the imagine, so take my recommendation with a grain of salt. Most of my coffee purchases come from the local supermarket, and I've rotated between the most common brands, but a friend of mine suggested I spend a bit more and try the Melitta Medium Roast, and I haven't looked back since! I don't know if they put additives in the grounds to alter the flavour profile, but there's something about the flavour of this coffee that is unlike anything that I've tried before. I've never been a fan of black coffee, but this is definitely one blend that I would have no trouble drinking black or just with a bit of sugar. Pricewise I guess you would consider it a premium blend, but still nowhere near some of the ridiculous prices of many other products, especially ones branded after popular national coffee shop franchises. I think you'd be hard-pressed to find someone that doesn't enjoy this coffee. Although I always like to sample something new, this will definitely my go-to from now on. -

I always find that most people that purchase peanut butter flavoured snacks are looking for the same feeling you get when you help yourself to a heaping spoon of peanut butter right out of the jar. I think that Nutter Butter cookies do a fairly good job of that, considering that they contain REAL peanut better sandwiched between two peanut shaped cookies. Obviously snack makers know that there is a large group of people out there that LOVE their peanut butter, which is why there are so many peanut butter flavoured snacks on the market in different shapes and forms. This particular cookie has peanut butter flavour baked right into the cookie itself, which complements the peanut butter filling very well. The cookie is also dense and crispy, so they didn't skimp on quantity or quality when coming up with the recipe. The family sized pack is definitely that - family sized! Then again, it all depends on who's in your family. LOL. Personally, I'd be satisfied with 2 cookies if I just need my itch scratched, so a family pack should last you quiet a while if you're a responsible eater like me. ;0) P.S. You gotta love both the name of the cookie (try saying that 3 times fast!) and the shape of the cookies themselves! -
