I wish I could say I wasn't into the sugary cereals but sometimes I can't help myself! Froot Loops remind me of being a kid and not being allowed to eat sugary cereals, so every once in a while I buy some for myself as an adult!
This flavour is a special edition created for Canada's 150 birthday and so has a birthday cake flavour. In my opinion it really does have the flavour of a vanilla cake! This version of Froot Loops isn't as sweet as the regular ones. I'm sure everyone knows these aren't exactly healthy and don't have any particular nutritional value but they are an undeniably yummy special treat every once in a while!
They do flavour the milk with a slight vanilla cake flavour (and a pink tinge) for those who like to drink their cereal milk after eating.
They are a limited edition product so try them now if you're curious and like a junky cereal every now and then!

I'm loving this Nivea Q10 Firming Body Oil!
I received this product free from Chick Advisor and I am so glad I did! This oil is a dream to apply; it goes on so smoothly and absorbs very quickly without leaving any greasiness behind. It seems to leave my skin with a lovely sheen, like a healthy glow that is just great for summer! It also has that wonderful, light floral scent that is the calling card of this Nivea line. I LOVE that this product contains avocado oil (in addition to cottonseed and macadamia oils).
I don't think I've been using this product long enough to give an honest opinion on it's firming and skin tone evening qualities but I have been using this nightly and would recommend it for it's moisturizing qualities alone. It's a great finishing touch after a shower or bath. It's recommended for all skin types and even though it's an oil, because it doesn't go on super greasy I'm sure it really would work for many types of skin.
I plan to come back and update my review once a few weeks have passed and I have a better idea about the firming part of this product. In the meantime, I'm going to keep using and enjoying this as part of my nightly beauty routine.

This product is AMAZING and a lifesaver when painting your home!
We live in a big old farm house and are currently doing renovations. One of the biggest tasks at the moment is repainting. The Paint Brush Cover (this product appeared on Shark Tank btw) is a plastic cover that snaps around your paintbrush so that you don't have to wash it out and wait for it to dry each time you stop painting. And does it work? It DOES!
Without even rinsing your brushes at all, you just place them inside the container, snap it securely and walk away. When you go back to it the next day or even a week later, everything is just exactly as you left it! It's incredible! They also make a Paint Roller Cover which we also purchased and which also works equally well.
The prices on these are super reasonable and well worth it. Save yourself some time and aggravation next time you do some painting and pick these up!

Nivea Q10 Anti-Age Hand Cream is a lovely product that really does the trick!
I was lucky enough to receive this product (#gotitfree) from Chick Advisor to try out and have been using it for the past few days morning and evening. It is a smooth, delicately floral scented (it smells wonderful!) cream that my skin absorbed in about 20 seconds of rubbing. This was a great thing to find out as I have used hand creams in the past that don't seem to absorb well and leave my hands feeling sort of sticky and tacky. The Nivea cream left my hands literally feeling silky and thoroughly moisturized, I'm impressed as I use and abuse my hands outdoors every single day and a lot of products don't do much for me. This Nivea product is a little luxury that I am certain I will be purchasing once my sample is gone.
I've also been rubbing this into my cuticles and it seems to be starting to help with the dryness I experience in that area in particular. A definite winner!

I'm super picky when it comes to toothpaste in general. I do have sensitive teeth so I sometimes feel stuck using toothpaste I don't love just to get the sensitivity benefits but the truth is I don't much like all the strong minty flavours most toothpastes have. One of my favourite alternatives is the Green Beaver Cinnamon toothpaste.
I like the natural qualities of this brand as I do care about using healthful products and this one fits the bill. Everything in this product is naturally sourced. That fact can make this product a strange experience for first time users; for example one of the ingredients is tea tree extract and if you are familiar with that ingredient at all you can detect it here. Having said that, the natural cinnamon flavour is a pleasant alternative to the typical overpowering mint and balances out the sort of medicinal tea tree flavour nicely.
In terms of effectiveness I find my teeth feel clean and look nice after using this product. If you are into natural products and want to try a toothpaste that works well and contains nothing harmful or unnatural I suggest trying this brand! I have been finding this at Winners lately; I originally purchased the brand at Goodness Me and Whole Foods. It does cost more than regular toothpaste but I feel it's worth it.

I bought this the other day because the store I stopped at didn't carry our usual brand. Unfortunately I found this popular product a disappointment.
The first thing I didn't like was the texture. The Philly cream cheese just seems to be lacking a great, rich, creamy texture. It almost has a smooth plastic type mouth feel. The taste was also ever so slightly phony to me; like cheese that had been open in a fridge too long. Spreadability was OK, I imagine if you purchase the whipped version it spreads even nicer.
We're used to eating a very rich, thick, creamy super flavourful cream cheese and have a regular brand that fulfills all of these requirements. I'd probably bake with the Philly Cream cheese in the future but for use on bagels or crackers I'll be sticking with my regular brand.

This is one of if not my absolute favourite cereal and has been since I was little!
There's just something so hearty, filling and satisfying about this granola. It's full of delicious oats, almonds and honey and definitely doesn't need to be sweetened. I will say this is not a health food; I know granolas are often presented as such but the fat content for example is a little high. On the plus side though, you don't need to eat as large a bowl of this cereal as other cereals because it is so filling. I also find that I stay full all morning and don't find myself looking for little snack before lunch time as often as I do when I've started my day with something else.
You can also use a handful of this cereal on yogurt or even ice cream and it's great that way too!

I am not someone who normally uses pads and it's been a long time since I have, I've always had the opinion that they were bulky and unpleasant. I have to confess, these are absolutely great! The level of absorption is impressive and they are extremely comfortable, you really barely know they are there, which has completely changed my opinion on pads. No leaks which of course is the number one priority!
I can definitely say that this is a product that I will buy again.

Mott's Fruitsations +Fibre Unsweetened Raspberry

I love these. I try to eat fairly healthy and I tend to choose apple sauce over just apples because I don't like the ski or actually biting into an apple and sometimes I don't feel like peeling and cutting them up. I know, weird. Anyway, these are delicious!
I love the flavour combinations these come in and the raspberry is my favourite. The fact that there is added fibre is a great bonus for digestive health! I'm also really pleased that these have no added sweetener (unless there is a sweetened version, mine was unsweetened). The fruit itself makes these more than sweet enough, with lots of great raspberry flavour.
Finally, the only added colour in these comes from carrots and black currants. This is basically the perfect treat for anyone looking to eat healthier and still enjoy a sweet, tasty snack!

I'm not super impressed with this product. I know a lot of people are crazy about it, but I find it too sweet. I also don't understand it's position as a healthy breakfast option. If you actually review the nutritional information it's basically on par with a chocolate bar. So I wouldn't make this a regular meal choice.
I can see this being more to my taste in a dessert setting, because that is what it seems like to me; a variation on chocolate or candy. I have noticed that you can buy donuts and that type of thing with a nutella filling or flavour and I definitely feel that is where it wold work the best1
