I mostly use cream or oil cleansers but wanted to try something new. This is a gel cleanser however once water is added it converts into a foam cleanser. I love that it cleans away all my makeup including mascara easily without stripping it of any moisture. My normal skin is left feeling clean, soft and refreshed. I find the natural citrus scent to be lovely and invigorating. -

Peanut Butter Banana with dark chocolate Clif Bar is so tasty and delicious. I find the banana flavour is more dominant than peanut butter taste but the combo is perfect. The contrast of the soft texture of the bar with the crunch of nuts and seeds keeps it interesting. I actually thought there was rice krispies in it because it has a nice crunch throughout. There's also dark chocolate chips made with Rainforest Alliance Certified Cocoa to keep it fun.
It's 70% organic and made with 21 vitamins and minerals. This is a perfect after workout snack, or when you have been doing other physical activities or just when you're plain old hungry. This bar is satisfying and will keep you going in between meals.

The more I use The Caudalie Premier Cru Precious Oil the more I love it. It's a beautiful, luxurious oil that just sinks into my skin. It doesn't leave my skin looking greasy. I'm fact after applying you would never guess I applied oil at all. I love how I am left with an immediate glow, my skin is left looking soft, smooth and more even tone.
I have used this on its own or patted it into my skin after applying my serums and moisturizer and its perfection every time. It can be used both day and night. It helps with wrinkles, brightness and firmness. It contains reservatrol, polyphenols and viniferine which are great anti-aging ingredients.
The simple glass bottle is gorgeous and the dropper works really well. When you squeeze out a drop one drop actually comes out. As strange as it might be I love the twinkling sound the glass dropper makes against the glass bottle. This product is listed as clean at Sephora but I do notice it contains Fragrance. The only issue I can see anyone having with this oil is it is not Fragrance free but it is one of the last ingredients. Personally I find the scent is very light and natural and I like it. This will definitely be a staple in my skincare routine.

I absolutely love how natural looking this mascara is on me. It does not give me incredible length or volume but just a bit. Enough to make it perfect for those no makeup, makeup days. It's not heavy so if you Curl your lashes it wouldn't weigh them down. It lasted all day with no smudging or flaking and came off easy. It's a pretty basic mascara but I love that it's 100% natural and that it nourishes and conditions my lashes. -

This cream is very light and airy and seems to just melt into the skin. It left my skin looking perfectly Matte which is great for a daytime cream. It also felt soft, smooth and touchable. It really didn't feel like I applied anything yet my skin was moisturized. This cream contains niacinamide to brighten the skin, peptides to help against aging and sodium hyaluronate which gives intense moisturization. Since it is very light I would only use it as a day cream. I like something a little heavier for night time use. For my normal skin this worked perfectly. If you have dry skin you may need to look elsewhere or add a moisturizing serum or oil to compliment this cream. I cannot say if this helps with wrinkles since I only received a single use sample but if you're looking for a light cream that is perfectly Matte and wears well under makeup this is perfect. -

I was previously using Vichy Aqualia Thermal Night Spa and was expecting this to be similar but it wasn't. Considering this cream is considered light I found it to be very thick and heavy on my skin. Although visually it didn't look greasy it left my skin feeling tacky long after applying. Despite the claim that it replumps fine lines I didn't notice much of a difference on my faint number elevens. This product is 97% natural which I like but compared to other Vichy products that I have tried and loved in the past this sadly wasn't one of them. Perhaps it would work better on someone with dry skin as opposed to my normal skin type. -

I have four kids and have tried different brands but my favorite so far is the Huggies Simply Clean. I subscribe and save on Amazon so I get them at a good price and they are gwnle enough to not only be used on baby bottoms but face and hands as well. They are thick, durable and Fragrance free. For diapers I prefer pampers but for wipes it's huggies all the way. -

The first facial cleansing oil I have ever used was by Josie Maran and I absolutely loved it. It was a bit expensive so I wanted to see if a less expensive one would be just as effective. This one has a rosehip oil Fragrance so would be no good for those that don't like fragrance in their skincare products. After applying it to damp hands and massageing it into your face it doesn't lather so much as gets slightly milky. It does an ok job at removing my makeup however it doesnt remove all of my mascara. That's a bit disappointing since I don't even use Waterproof mascara. I like that even though it's an oil it doesn't leave a greasy residue on my skin. I still end up haveing to double cleans on the day I wear makeup just for the fact that it doesn't clean all of my mascara off.
The pump bottle is 190 ml and it lasts a long time and it's reasonably priced. It contains grapeseed, Jojo a, rosehip oil, Vitamin c and alot of other good ingredients for your skin. It claims to deep cleanse and brighten along with removing makeup and impurities. I personally didn't notice my skin being any brighter. Maybe I should let it sit more on my face and it would be more effective. I definitely want to try other oil cleansers to try to find one that compares to Josie Maran.

I found this quite different than your regular Quaker granola bars. It was thinner, and quite a bit chewier. It had a very light peanut butter taste that was almost non existant so if your looking for an intense peanut butter flavor this is not for you. It was both sweet and salty. I found the salty more intense than the sweetness but only because I don't add salt to my food so I think I'm more sensitive to it. I found the occasional crunchy peanuts broke up the monotony of the texture and the dark chocolate pieces on the top made it a nice little dessert. This bar contains 3 g of protein and fibre and is made of whole grains. It contains 7 grams of sugar so there's not much nutritional value however its by far healthier than a chocolate bar. If you're looking for something a little more filling you will need a protein bar in place of a granola bar. This is still a nice little snack to keep handy if you have a bit of a sweet tooth. -

When it comes to instant coffee Nescafe has always been my brand of choice. It's always reasonably priced and tastes good. If you're in a pinch and want something quick this is perfect. Just open the pouch, pour the powder in your cup, boil water and add then drink up. If you're like me and don't like your coffee overly sweet this is perfect. I didn't even need to add sugar. The part that amazed me the most was this coffee actually froths on the top like a real Cappuccino. It might not be gourmet but when I am on the go and don't have time to make a homemade Cappuccino this will do. It would be great for camping and travelling. -
