I’m a skin care fanatic and was so excited to try L’Occitane Almond Supple Skin Oil. I usually use lotions, gels or creams, so I wondered if this oil would be greasy or messy to deal with. It was easy to apply thanks to the spray applicator it immediately felt like satin, easy for my skin to absorb, not greasy, but light and silky. Dry or tight feeling skin, after a hot tub or shower, melted away with this almond oil. I really love it on my legs, especially after shaving and when wanting to dawn my sundress and sandals - my legs were positively radiant! The subtle almond scent is lovely and didn’t clash with my signature fragrance. If you enjoy the benefits of a good skin care routine, add L’Occitane Almond Supple Skin Oil to your regime and indulge yourself in French luxury. I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review.

Daiya dairy free and gluten free pizza was a quick and tasty mid week dinner. It was surprising how fast it cooked in my convection oven, under 15 min and done. I chose the veggie option and it was very good. The only addition was after it was cooked, I added a sprinkle of cayenne, I like things spicy. Considering this is an oat cream blend instead of regular cheese, it had an amazing texture, very akin to melted cheese and the creamy texture was excellent. I would say be careful to not overcook it, as the crust is crispy and thin. Loved that it had only 3330 calories per pizza - how great is that? Available at most grocery stores, freezer food section. I received this pizza to trial for free, in exchange for my experience and honest opinion.

Excited to introduce you to THE BOG’s Pure Cranberry Powder! Not only is this 100% Canadian, it is a delicious and nutritious flavour boost for salad dressings, smoothies, baked goods, yogurt and milkshakes. The pure Cranberry powder is created from seeds and skins of pressed cranberries that are carefully dried to retain all their powerful goodness. I loved my morning smoothie with greek yogurt, frozen berries, oatmilk, a little honey and a tablespoon of this powder. Whirled it for a couple seconds and it tasted scrumptious! I like tart, so next time would add more Pure Cranberry powder and maybe less honey. If you are trying to find a quick and healthy option for breakfast that packs a powerful punch of goodness, try this! It is available on THE BOG’s online Farm Store www.riversidecranberries.ca/store Received this product for free in exchange of my honest review.

Farming Karma Apricot Soda was a refreshing surprise! I thought it may be thick and too sweet, but it was light, delicious and with a soft fizz. I appreciate this has no added sugars, preservatives, or additives. It is a bonus that the fruit is grown in BC, Canada where some of the best soft stone fruits are grown in the country. I enjoyed the drink over ice and would happily serve this friends. It is very 'summery' and although a perfect mocktail, I think you could easily use it for wine coolers, or vodka and white rum cocktails. It's nice to know you pick this up at Walmart and even order online. I received this product for free, in exchange for my honest review.

Hatch Coffee Maple Oatado boasts Canadian goodness in a mini can, only 100 ml but packs 100 mg caffeine. It makes sense that they use maple syrup being that Canada is the largest producer of maple syrup in the world, so way to go Hatch! And this is a unique twist on the classic cortado, because it is a dairy-free version using oat milk and espresso, making it plant based and vegan friendly. I’m testing it on ice, but you can gently warm it up too. Each sip is creamy, there is a lingering oat taste and I am surprised it’s not too sweet. I would prefer it even a little less sweet, but I do love the maple flavour or as the company says, “big maple energy”! You can find this online at most health food stores, like well.ca and of course amazon for just under $4 bucks a shot. Is it worth it? I say yes for convenience, yes for flavour. A delicious quick hit of caffeine on the go. Give it a good shake before opening and enjoy “express” espresso - Canadian style! Will Hatch be a match for your coffee fix? Try it and let me know! Received this product for free, so I can test it and share my experience with everyone.

This is a Canadian product, which I like, NOW Ultra Omega-3. This supplement boasts 1000 mg of fish oils to support heart health and brain function. I read about this Canadian company and appreciated it has strict quality control standards so you can be sure it’s free of potentially harmful levels of contaminants (i.e. mercury or PCB’s) and that’s really important for everyone, especially our children. After trying this soft gel, I would recommend NOW Ultra Omega 3, like right now - go try it! No fishy aftertaste, no burping or bloating. Available at online health food stores and amazon. Received this product for free in exchange for my honest review after testing it.

Coconut Fun Bites – Original
Wow do these little treats hit the right spot when you need a pick me up! They are the perfect size to pop in your mouth while driving, watching TV or reading (no sticky hands). Nice to find a snack that is certified organic, naturally gluten-free and vegan. With no artificial colours, preservatives, or flavours, you can indulge worry free. I like a little late night nibble and these are just right, with a hint of sweetness and that exotic coconut flavour which pairs perfectly with my bed-time cuppa tea. These would be cute in lunch boxes and are a fun alternative to granola bars or cookies. I received this product for free, to taste, and post my honest opinion.

I received this luxurious body cream three weeks ago and fell in love! My skin has never been so hydrated, smooth and supple - especially during this cold and dry winter.
Firstly, I was so impressed with the gorgeous frosted glass container and the quantity of product - this will last a long time!
Secondly, once I opened it up, I was pleasantly surprised by the subtle fragrance, very elegant, not overpowering, just right.
Thirdly, the texture - wow! It felt like satin, not greasy at all. As it touched my poor dry skin, you could just see it vanish and do it’s job. Such a pleasure to handle, and I was transported to a French Spa receiving a deluxe treatment, but in the privacy of my own boudoir, lol!
I am in my late ’50’s and it is hard to find a body cream that works for mature skin that I don’t have to rub in vigorously. Karité Confort Ultra Rich Body Cream just glided into every wrinkle, visibly plumping and leaving a youghtful glow. With just a few minutes of easy application, it left my skin, especially my legs and arms, feeling silky smooth. I could go on about the Shea Butter and the 24 hour hydration, but really you just have to try it for yourself.
While incentivized, my review was impartial and honest. I received this product free in exchange for my experience using it daily.

I have struggled since childhood with wheezing and coughing, and yes I use prescription puffers when it is really bad. However, my doctor noticed a pattern that my symptoms were always worse in the winter, constant bouts of bronchitis and that awful choking feeling, especially when I would lay down to sleep. He recommended I boost my immune system. After much research, I discovered N-acetyl-l-cysteine, or N-A-C, which is supposed to help relive chronic bronchitis symptoms, amongst other benefits. I have been trying N-A-C for months and this winter I don’t have the severe choking from thick phlegm in the night, my coughing is less aggressive. I will always keep my puffers handy, but overall I am sure N-A-C has boosted my lung health and has definitely reduced flare-ups from chronic bronchitis. My trial for this AOR brand of N-A-C has been three weeks, but to be clear, I was trying other brands previous to this experiment with AOR. I find the AOR capsule easy to swallow, no odour or after taste and gluten free plus non-GMO. If you are like me, coughing, wheezing, short of breath, choking on phlegm, maybe you would benefit from this once a day supplement? I take one with breakfast every morning, no upset stomach and I try not to miss a dose from September to April, flu season! Product gifted by AOR.
