This sauce is delicious in a stir fry.
We use it mainly with ground turkey and onions, celery, bell peppers. Often we add other fresh vegetables we have in the fridge as well. It's served over basmati rice. Very little additional spices, a little soya sauce to season the turkey. The sauce has enough salt that none is added (plus the soya is salty enough). Note this sauce is on the sweet side, we add chili flakes to balance.
It doesn't really remind anyone of Korean BBQ, though it has hints of the same profile flavours, but it's our favorite of VH's stir fry sauce range so we always keep some on hand for a quick supper.

VH Soya Sauce - Reduced Sodium
This is a great soya sauce. We feel like it has all the flavour of "normal" soya sauces, if not better than some, but with less the sodium content. In a lot of cooking, I use this instead of salt to season, as you get a bit of saltiness and a lot... +
This is a great soya sauce. We feel like it has all the flavour of "normal" soya sauces, if not better than some, but with less the sodium content.
In a lot of cooking, I use this instead of salt to season, as you get a bit of saltiness and a lot of flavour.
It's a bit more expensive than store brands, less expensive than premium brands, and it goes on sale rather often.

Tetley Chai Tea
This is a great chai tea, flavourful and able to be brewed reasonably strong if you are like me and you like to do that to be able to add milk and a touch of sugar at times. You can definitely taste the cardamom, but it's not bitter, it's soothing.

As you can see from the bottle, mine has been around for a while. That's because while it's a nice creamy serum, it is not miraculous and I don't find it does much at all beyond a little extra moisturizing and brightening. Other serums do more for a lot less money.
I got this as part of a Clinique bonus (those things are AMAZING!) and I am thankful when I see the price tag because it's NOT worth it. I've used it where my skin is slightly discolored and it's done nothing. Maybe if I had hyper-pigmentation there would be some difference but not for me.

Clinique Turnaround™ Overnight Revitalizing Moisturizer is a great cream.
I don't just use this at night, never saw the point of not using a cream when you felt you needed it. This is a rich moisturizing cream that sinks in quickly and works fast and well. It delivers on its promise of brightening your skin and your skin feels energized after the cream soaks in.
I use this whenever I feel I really need the moisture, and it works even better after your skin routine after a shower.

Clinique Repairwear Laser Focus™ Night Line Smoothing Cream is a great cream.
A cream that I will also put on during the day if I feel it's needed it lives up to its promises. Rich, smooth, silky, it absorbs well and leaves your skin feeling soft and moisturized. Meant to help reduce lines and wrinkles, I rather think it's helped prevent them for me. My skin feels great every time I use it.

Purina Fancy Feast Gravy Lovers - Seared Salmon

As a different treat, I gave Purina Fancy Feast Gravy Lovers Salmon Feast in Seared Salmon to my cats. They normally love when I add more water to their pate food to create a "gravy", so I thought this would be great.
The plates were licked clean, so the cats rated the taste a 5. But because of all the gravy, there really wasn't all that much actual food in each can and they were still very hungry afterwards. For that reason I only give an overall 4 rating.

I have no idea how people can like this shampoo so much. I received Pureology Hydrate® Shampoo as a sample to try and review from another site. It's one of the worst shampoos I ever used.
It lathers rather badly, but takes forever to rinse out. When out, my hair felt like straw until I put the conditioner in (separate review). It does clean hair, but I feel like it never got down to my scalp.
And dear God IT STINKS! It's supposed to smell like "peppermint and corn mint essential oils". It stunk of a weird mint/ eucalyptus smell. That smell barely went away a day later.
There are many much better shampoos for dry hair and/or colored hair. I suggest checking any of those out.

I have no idea how people can like this conditioner so much. I received a sample of Pureology Hydrate® Condition and it's among the worst I have ever used.
It takes forever to rinse out. After my shower, my hair felt dry. I did my normal leave in and oil treatment routine and my hair sopped that up like a paper towel dropped in a pool, and felt like it needed more.
And just like the shampoo (separate review) IT STINKS! But WORSE than the shampoo! It's supposed to smell like "peppermint and corn mint essential oils". This one had a menthol smell so strong I started coughing and my eyes teared up. That smell barely went away a day later. My bathroom garbage still smells of it due to the empty packages a few days after trying the products!
I did something I have never done before for this review, I pulled the packet out of the garbage to check a suspicion. Yes, menthol is in the conditioner, and yes, there appears to be a few different alcohols in there too.
There are many other conditioners for dry or colored hair. Go for those instead.

Color WOW Color Security Shampoo

This is one of those "real-deal" color safe shampoos.
This is the shampoo you want to start using after you've paid a good deal of money to get your hair dyed, or even just after you've taken the time to do it yourself.
No real scent, lathers ok and rinses out nicely, the shampoo does not strip your hair or its color. You can get to your scalp with this and it will take care of that too.
Only negative is that it's not the cheapest as it's a salon product. If you're like me that means you tend to use it carefully.
