This is a delicious, though uniquely flavoured power bar.
I have to be honest, I wasn't expecting to like the Lemon Poppy Seed flavour, but it is delicious. The white chocolate coating is mild, and shouldn't be a deterrent for those who don't like white chocolate. The lemon flavouring is smooth, and not sour. The bar is soft and chewy and not dry or chalky like other brands of protein bars. The whole thing came together like a delicious dessert. It's great to know that I'm getting 20 g of protein and only 3 g of sugar.
Some may find this one a little too sweet for first thing in the morning. Others, like me, will gobble it up any time of the day. :)

PowerBar ProteinPlus Reduced Sugar Creamy Chocolate Peanut Butter
I really enjoyed this delicious but healthy chocolate treat! It seemed more like a candy bar than a protein bar, yet I was happy to be getting 20 g of protein and only 2 g of sugar! The chocolate coating was rich, but like the inside of the bar... +
I really enjoyed this delicious but healthy chocolate treat! It seemed more like a candy bar than a protein bar, yet I was happy to be getting 20 g of protein and only 2 g of sugar!
The chocolate coating was rich, but like the inside of the bar, not too sweet. It would still be a great option for an on-the-go breakfast.
I've found other brands of protein bars to be dry and chalky, but this one was soft, chewy, and fresh. Next time I'm looking to buy a protein bar, this is definitely the brand I'll choose.

Love You Forever by Robert Munsch

This is a sweet little book that can be purchased in paperback at a low price.
I remember reading this as a child and passed my copy on to my own kids. I've purchased it for many baby showers and first birthdays.
I find it a little sad. It's a bit of a tear-jerker. All of my kids like the story, and it is frequently one of their picks for story time, but my most sensitive little one cries at the end every time.

Richard Scarry's Best Word Book Ever

A great book. I remember having this book as a child, and I couldn't believe they were still making it. It is a must have with lots of fun characters, bright pictures, and words written with each little picture. It's great for teaching new words to a very young child but also for teaching spelling and word recognition to the older ones. My daughter who is just learning to write uses this like a little dicitonary when struggling to spell a word for the first time.
The fact this is still selling after all this time is a testament to its usefulness and quality.

LUSH Snowcake Soap

Absolutely love the smell! I find Lush products to be a little overpriced in general, but this is one product I really don't mind paying for. It's only out at Christmas and reminds me of marzipan or amaretto icing. We use this in all of our drawers and when we pack away our winter clothes and blankets. It gives everything a beautiful scent that I don't think anyone would find objectionable. I have several relatives who don't live near a Lush store who ask me to go buy this for them during the holidays.
I like that the colour is very plain so it doesn't leave coloured rings by the side of the tub. I find it adequate as an actual bath soap, though it might not be my top choice if it weren't for the wonderful smell.

This is a nice dusting powder to give a little scent and glimmer to your skin. I received this as a gift and enjoyed using it over the Christmas season. The pink colour makes it seem special and decadent. The scent seems stronger when you first put it on, but seems to dissipate quickly, so I don't worry about wearing it out. This is definitely one for the holiday shopping list, especially if there are any little girls who love bath products on your list. -

This is fruity candy-scented body wash you can use on your skin, in your hair, and to make a bubble bath. The iridescent sparkles give it an extra special look. They wash away and don't stay on your skin.
This is a gentle body wash. When travelling I've used it as my face-wash, body-wash, and even to wash my delicates. It is really a gentle all-purpose product.
The pink sparkly colour makes it a cute gift for kids as well. I stock up on this when it is available during the holidays.

This is a great product that gives great results, but it is pricey considering you could really do the same thing with a little brown sugar and coconut oil . Still, for a product to have with me while travelling (where making up a homemade lip scrub isn't practical, and I don't want to worry about spoilage) this is a great little scrub that gets the job done. -
LUSH Lemony Flutter Cuticle Butter

Great cuticle butter. My nails and cuticles have never been in better shape! The scent is a little strong, and I don't like that it isn't paraben-free, but it works so well that it isn't a deal breaker.
I'm actually surprised to see so many poor reviews. I've tried many products for my cuticles that are in and out of water all day, and I've never found anything so effective.

I really like this dusting powder. The scent is beautiful, and it works to keep skin soft and dry. I prefer the older containers it came in to the plastic bottle, but I still buy it and put it in my own container. It is pricier than a lot of other options, but I like that it doesn't have a strong smell like the stuff my grandmother would use, and it doesn't have the smell of baby powder. I like that LUSH is a more natural product than many of the others on the market. -
