Already a trusted brand in our home, this is hands down absolutely the best turkey bacon EVER. It actually tastes more like a Canadian bacon or ham. So, keep that in mind as it has a totally different taste than pork bacon. But it is so flavorful, not dry, and easy to cook, and super delish. You can cut the large/long strips in half or more for smaller portions, so it is easier to cook in the fry pan. Turkey bacon often doesn’t shrink or produce as much grease as pork bacon and less mess as its generally leaner than pork bacon, high in protein, lower in calories and fat. Perfect on its own, or on a sandwich/wrap, with eggs, BLT with a twist, even in salad or on a pizza. Added bonus with the resealable package!

A collaboration that really works!! Hatch with Dona Chai, a mix of single origin cardamom, pure rose, black tea, and oat milk.
I was pleased with these flavour combinations. Very unique, very satisfying and comforting. Very much enjoyed it chilled! Just shake, crack open and enjoy. Simple little can packed with a lot of punch. It can also be enjoyed warm and just as flavourful. It is the perfect blend of subtle creamy sweetness, floral notes, and warm spice. No scent or taste overpowering.
Made with minimal ingredients and only 5 g of sugar, it's perfectly balanced. And at only 50 calories per can, it feels light yet indulgent.
Also Made in Canada eh!!
Thanks to Butterly for the chance to try for my honest review.

We received this Spinmaster Monster Jam - 1:15 Smash and Bash Grave Digger RC to test out and let me tell you, it is fun for the WHOLE family. I don’t know if Dad or the kids were more excited. Immediately it was taken out of the box and enjoyed. Not only does it look like the famous truck, it’s also just as tough. At first, we didn’t realize the added feature – when you crash the Monster Truck smashes – so dad was so worried he broke it. After figuring it out with the help of our 3-year-old (there is a button that puts it back together) play continues. We also very much LOVE and our budgets appreciate that though you do need batteries for the control, the truck itself if plug-in rechargeable. This is a much-appreciated feature. It’s fun, looks great, built well, and made to last. Our kids really love smashing and crashing things so it’s right up their alley. It can be used both indoors and outdoors, but it’s not destructible indoors to the smashing of walls, cupboards, moms’ ankles - it’s built well but doesn’t do much damage. This toy delivers a lot of excitement. I received this sample for free from Butterly in exchange for my honest review. -

Plantropy’s Jackfruit Pepperoni offer a truly unique plant-based experience. At first glance, the scent and texture can be surprising—but don’t let that stop you. Once cooked (recommend frying or grilling), the transformation is impressive. The pepperoni crisps up beautifully and delivers a bold, smoky bite, perfect for topping personal pizzas or adding to wraps and bowls.
We especially enjoyed these cooked rather than eaten straight from the package. For best results, try sautéing or BBQ’ing to bring out their full flavour and texture. If you’re looking for a healthy, high-fiber, and adventurous addition to your plant-based meals, Plantropy’s jackfruit products are well worth a try.

Who knew being healthy could taste like candy? These Goli Berries Apple Cider Gummies have taken the zing of apple cider vinegar and wrapped it in a sweet, berry-flavored hug, no nose-pinching, just chewy deliciousness. They taste way better than I expected, more like berry candy than anything vinegar-y. BUT take it slow! Definitely recommend easing into them. Start with one pre-meal or during. I went in too quick, but now I try one with breakfast to help kickstart metabolism, support digestion, and stabilize blood sugar early in the day. I take one in the evening to help reduce late-night cravings. Since taking them I feel a little more balanced and less bloated and my sweet tooth is satisfied without raiding the pantry. Lots of great benefits with ACV. No struggle to get them down, no aftertaste, no weird smell, just a quick little boost that tastes like a treat.
Would I buy again? Probably. It’s like sneaking in a health win without suffering.
Bonus points: they’re vegan, gluten-free, non-gmo, and don’t smell gross.

This ENSO Pistachio & Sea Salt Granola knocked me off my socks. I typically find granola very bland and boring but something about the flavor combo of pistachio and sea salt that hits that perfect salty-sweet balance. Then some extra texture with dried cranberries and toasted coconut flakes. It’s not your typical granola!
Crunchy, nutty perfection! The pistachios are generous, the sea salt balances the sweetness, and it’s not overly sugary. Perfect with Greek yogurt, topped on a salad, or my FAVE was having it on its own as a quick snack!
Also made with clean ingredients and big flavor! I love that Enso uses simple, natural ingredients—no weird additives. It feels like homemade.
Love that they are a small batch local made in Toronto and an Ontario made company! I wish I was able to find them more locally to my city (in store locations were not so close). Ordering online was a bit tricky, they had sales but not too many options available as they were sold out. BUT I will be keeping my eye out because I don’t think I can live without it!

We received this Contigo Aubrey Cool Lime 14 Oz to try for our honest opinions. So, I called in the big guns – our 3 year old.
He was super excited to unbox, but his excitement really peaked when he put eyes on the bottle. The bright colours drew him in immediately. And its super kid-friendly which we both loved. He was able to fold back to close the silicone straw and push the touch button to pop it back open with one touch with ease all on his own. The bottle is a good size for grab and go and enough to quench his thirst in this heat wave weather. No leaks and super sealing.
Total fun meet’s function and more play less mess! Would recommend it.

Pink Sands Yankee Candle is like a mini vacation in a jar! It’s fresh, a little fruity, and has that perfect beachy-sweet vibe. Lights up a room with calm, clean energy — my go-to for instant summer feels!
It is both beautiful and smells great. It comes in a classic glass jar with a soft, pastel pink wax that gives off total tropical vibes. This candle burns smoothly and evenly, with a steady flame and minimal soot — even without trimming the wick every time. The scent throw is just right: strong enough to fill the room without being overpowering. Plus, it lasts for hours, so you get tons of cozy, beachy vibes out of one jar. Beautifully enhances your home and transports you to your happy place.

I've been using the Blue Lizard Sensitive Mineral Sunscreen Stick SPF 50 for a couple weeks now, and I’m seriously impressed. As someone with sensitive skin, finding a sunscreen that doesn’t burn, sting, or break me out is a win — and this stick delivers.
It glides on smoothly, blends in better than most mineral sunscreens, and feels lightweight without leaving that chalky white cast. Plus, it's water-resistant, which makes it perfect for beach days, hikes, or just chasing kids around the backyard.
The stick format is super convenient — no mess, no fuss, and easy to toss in a purse or diaper bag. I love that it’s fragrance-free and made with zinc oxide, so I feel good using it on myself and my kids.
Highly recommend for anyone with sensitive skin or looking for a clean, travel-friendly SPF!

If you're looking for a frozen treat that delivers a perfect blend of flavor, texture, and nostalgia — this is it. Chapman’s Super Frosty Chocolatey Dipped Neapolitan Treat takes the beloved Neapolitan trio (strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate) and wraps it in a satisfyingly crisp chocolatey shell that makes each bite a delight.
The chocolate coating has a rich snap that gives way to the creamy, smooth center. Each flavor shines through individually but still works together in harmony — just like the classic Neapolitan taste we all know and love.
It’s the kind of treat that feels like summer in your hand, and it’s portioned just right for a satisfying snack without the guilt. Whether you’re a kid at heart or just want to beat the heat with something sweet, this one deserves a spot in your freezer. Would buy again! AND it’s made in CANADA!!
