I love the fruity flavours of this green tea, it really tastes tropical and that is much needed during our recent cold weather. The vitamin C is a great bonus. I don't love green tea but this one is fruity enough I still love it! I bet it would be great with some honey too, although I tend to drink my tea unsweetened. -

This tea is a delicious one to drink when you are feeling under the weather, or just any time. I love lemon teas and this is probably a new favourite, yum! It's really strong, so no need to steep too long, you could probably get two uses out of the single tea bag to be honest. I have been lucky not to get a cold yet this fall, but I'll definitely be reaching for this tea when the inevitable happens. -
Tetley Super Green BOOST Berry Burst with Vitamin B6
I really love the fruity juicy berry flavour of this tea! I don't drink a ton of green tea because sometimes it can be bitter, but that's definitely not the case with this one. So yummy! I think it would also be great iced during the summer... +

I am always so tired in the morning and I don't drink coffee so I am always excited to try out something else that might give me that boost. Unfortunately I just could not stomach the taste of the Adrien Gagnon Super Energex. I tried diluting it in water, and it was really unpleasant. I don't have orange juice, but I tried adding it to a smoothie as well and I could still notice the flavour. I think it gave me a bit of a boost, but I just couldn't get over the taste in order to test it out any longer. The individual packaging is very convenient to take with you, and I appreciate all the benefits it promises, but the taste is not for me.

I'm always looking for a bar I can keep in my bag for when I am unexpectedly out longer than I thought, or any of the other many reasons I might miss a meal. These bars are perfect for those situations, they have a delicious fudgy taste but aren't overly sweet, which I appreciate. I generally prefer to eat regular meals but when I skipped lunch and ate one of these bars instead, it did keep me full most of the afternoon, which is longer than other bars I have tried in the past. It's not something I would reach for daily, but it makes a great replacement when I need it.

McCain Sweet Potato Plank Cut Fries
I really love sweet potato fries and McCain does a great job with an affordable, delicious option! Plus they are not coated in flour so even my gluten-free self can enjoy. Perfect with burgers at home :)

All the Lipidol products come in clear plastic containers with a small opening at the top–it’s a hole in the top, not the entire area, so it isn’t difficult to dispense only a little. The Lipidol After Shower Oil is a clear oil you can use on your skin after shower and is very, very lightly fragranced with Chamomile essential oil–I honestly didn’t notice it until I read the press release. When I massage it into my skin after showering it’s left soft and moisturized. It’s a tiny bit shiny at first but that quickly fades, and I don’t find it greasy. -

The Clinique Long Last Soft Matte Lipsticks have a great creamy formula that makes (semi)matte wearable even during the winter months. Overall, the shades are really vivid and easy to apply. The nude shade was the only one that was a bit tricky for me, the others were all gorgeous with even pigmentation.There’s a great mix of shades available! -

GOSH Giant Blush Stick in Shy, Passion and Pink Parfait are all very creamy, and although they swatch with a ton of pigment they are quite natural blended in and surprisingly long lasting as well. I’m not sure how they’d work in hotter weather, but they did last all day on my cheeks. They have a slightly glowy/dewy to finish to them. I like to apply them by dabbing the blush onto my cheeks directly and then using my fingers to blend in, but you can also use use a brush on the blush first instead.
If you were interested in the Clinique Chubby Stick Cheek Colour Balm but wanted a lower cost alternative, or if you loved those and need more, or if you’re just wanting a fantastic and easy to apply blush option, definitely check out the GOSH Giant Blush Stick. The only issue I have? There needs to be more shades!

The Lipidol Overnight Face Oil is meant to be applied before bed. It’s very lightly fragranced with Ylang-Ylang and Black Pepper essential oils, but as with all three oils I tried from Lipidol I didn’t really notice the scent. It’s definitely a heavier oil so it doesn’t take much and I feel comfortable using it instead of a moisturizer on its own. I am prone to breakouts and using this oil didn’t cause any–if anything my skin looks softer. -
