I received this product for free as part of the Product Review Club.
As far as base coats go, it did what it was supposed to do. Went on smoothly and dried quickly. I don't find it any better or worse than other base coats I've used.
If I find it on sale somewhere I'd probably buy it again.

I received this product for free as part of the Product Review Club. While it went on smoothly, dried quickly and made my nails look nice and shiny, both times I used it (I've applied the CND polish twice now), my nails started to chip after about three days. I feel like the top coat should have protected them better. -

I received this nail polish for free as part of the Product Review Club. The colour I got is Peony Ride.
The good: the colour is GORGEOUS. It makes me happy and reminds me of summer.
It dries super quickly - in about five minutes, which is terrific. I've applied it twice now, both times shortly before going to sleep. When I woke up the next morning it looked just as good as when I applied it - no smudges like with other nail polishes.
The not-so good: it started to chip after about three days. I touched it up a few times but had to remove it and repaint my nails after six days.
I would buy this nail polish, and other ones in the line. The best feature is by far how quickly it dries. It's really nice not having to sit around and not do anything for ages while my polish dries.

I am a relative newbie to yoga (my visit yesterday to Octopus Garden was only my second class). I'd been to another yoga studio with a friend of mine but we weren't too impressed so decided to check out this one instead.
This experience was soo much better than our last one. The instructors were incredibly nice and helpful, not to mention knowledgeable. There were two of them in the class, and they made sure my friend and I were doing the poses correctly, and suggesting ways to make them easier as well.
After the class they even told us what to do so that we wouldn't be as sore the next day.
I was super impressed with everything, from their knowledge to how friendly and welcoming everyone was. I will definitely be going back.

I receieved this in the mail on Friday as part of the Product Review Club. I was going to wait for the perfect moment to try it, in the perfect setting (I take chocolate very seriously), but I didn't want to wait. So I tried it on Saturday.
I'm generally not a huge fan of milk chocolate, but this was pretty good. It wasn't as sweet as other milk chocolate I've had in the past, which I appreciated. The mousse inside was amazing. I like that it's a dark chocolate mousse as opposed to milk chocolate. It balances out the milk chocolate nicely and creates a nice mix of sweet and not as sweet.
The soft mousse combined with the hard outer shell is a good combination. I would definitely recommend it others try it.
The packaging is cute, but that flap thing you're supposed to close it with is kind of frustrating. I guess I pulled too hard trying to detach it because it tore off entirely. So now I'm just keeping the box closed with an elastic.

I went to Cozy Nails a few weeks ago (to celebrate graduating from university) after reading about it here. I was very pleased.
I got the manicure and pedicure, and came out feeling more relaxed than I had in months, with super soft skin. What more could I ask for?
The massage chairs were so nice and comfy, and I loved that they serve smoothies/juice - a very nice touch! I felt like a princess.
I definitely plan on going back.

I bought this perfume last summer after drooling over it for AGES, and let me say, it was completely worth the wait! I'm a huge girly-girl (not to mention my friends always call me 'princess'), so Princess is perfect for me in basically every way.
It smells so pretty - like a combination of vanilla, chocolate and flowers. I love the bottle as well. I tend to wear it only at night when I'm going out - it definitely is not a day perfume.
Word of warning, though, it smells incredibly sweet and I know some people find it very overpowering, but not me!
However, if you're girly at heart like me this is definitely the perfume for you!

Well, I finally had time to try this out (literally just washed it off my face). And I really like it! It smells really nice, my skin feels really soft and smooth, and it's easy to use.
My only complaint is that they use animal products to make it. I generally avoid buying/using things with animal ingredients in it, but if that's not an issue for you then I would definitely recommend it :)

I bought this a little bit over a week ago on the recommendation from someone who works at The Body Shop, because she said it was excellent for dry skin. I am happy to report she was not lying. I've only used it three times so far, but I already notice a big difference in my skin - it's not as dry and itchy, which is a miracle because my skin is ALWAYS dry and itchy.
If you have dry skin, I definitely recommend you try this out. It's extremely gentle, and although it is kind of on the pricey side ($14 Canadian for 75 ml) in my opinion, it's worth every penny.

I went here for the first time the other day with Artist to try the free drop in class. I was extremely nervous at first, having not been near a gym for about five years, and really having no idea what to expect. However as soon as I got into the studio, I immediately relaxed. I forget the name of the person teaching the pole dance class, but she was extremely energetic, patient and helpful. I had some trouble doing the spins at first, but she was definitely very helpful and made sure I knew how to do them.
Going to flirty girl was a huge confidence booster - I felt so happy during and after the class, and definitely plan on going back as soon as I have some spare time.
