I enjoy the high protein lower carb option but $10 a box is really steep. There's competitors that offer the same for cheaper with good ingredients. While it is delicious, I will go for competitors.

Great protein pasta. I try to limit my carb intake due to my blood sugars rising then crashing after a high carb meal, so an option of high protein and lower carb is perfect. It allows me to enjoy pasta dishes without feeling terrible.

Hilarious game to play with friends when hanging out, drinking etc. The most depraved wins.

Right now the craze is large oversized drinking cups, however I really enjoy the realistic bottles that swell has to offer. I can easily stick them in my side pocket of my backpack when I am hiking and it keeps my water very cool even if I'm on a long hike in 90f weather. The bottle doesn't sweat at all which is really nice and stays colder longer than other water bottles.

I really got suckered in for the marketing on this one. I purchased the liquid collagen based on the reviews and promotions that it has a wonderful flavour and it doesn't taste like collagen - well- It tastes like collagen. It's a flavour I can't do. It just irks me out and doesn't taste good at all. I was really hoping for a product that would help me consume collagen via a drink but the ones I tried in the past all had that strong flavour that is overwhelming to me. Maybe there's some sort of genetic aversion to collagen taste like there is cilantro. If there is, I am definitely one of those people.

This stuff is really good, the flavour is excellent and I use this as a rice topper, seasoning for eggs or add it into marinades for dishes. I will say though, it's really not that spicy and expected more kick for the 'xtra spicy'. I don't think my spice tolerance is really that high - more so average but this is something that my sensitive husband can handle so that to me confirms it really isn't 'xtra spicy' I would place this at a 4/10 on spice level. I would like to see a chili crisp that really makes me sweat! Overall the flavour is good so I will continue purchasing it. I am not sure what it is and it's not listed but I get hints of anise which is really nice.

I purchased this as I saw advertisements all over social media. I gave in and decided to give it a try. I needed more sunscreen as it was. This stuff really stinks- and I get it, sunscreen usually does but this stuff has an odd odor that really took me by surprise. It smells like your typical sunscreen but much sharper in scent. As long as one can get over that it may be for you. I discontinued use after two weeks as it caused my skin to have some pimples so unfortunately it didn't work for me. In regards of it's ability to fight against the sun, I will give it an A+ for that. I went to the beach with my husband and this stuff really does keep the skin protected. I live in zone 9a (southern United States) where the sun is absolutely brutal. This kept my face from burning. So while I discontinued use due to the pimples it gave me, it's something that I would have continued using if that hadn't been an issue, despite the strong scent. It's something I would compromise for in return for Sun protection.

I really love that olaplex protects my hair when I am getting bleach treatments at the salon but aside from their hair perfector I haven't been a huge fan of olaplex products. I have tried the bonding cream, bond building spray, bond maintenance shampoo and conditioner and the clarifying shampoo (will elaborate on this one) I overall haven't been impressed and expected my hair to feel as well as when my hairstylist would treat my hair with olaplex. I understand salon level products will be better but it is still disappointing. The one that shocked me the most was the clarifying shampoo that left my scalp and hair feeling beyond dry and straw like. I was shocked at how my hair felt, it's not something I would ever have expected from olaplex despite not being the hugest fan of their products aside from what my stylist would use and no3 hair perfector. My rating is 3 stars because no3 is a great product but the rest of olaplex products I have tried have been a disappointment.

Great Canadian brand. I was first introduced to these when I was stopping by my local supplements store to restock my pre workout. I figured I would give them a try and they quickly became something I would have as a snack or after a intense workout to quickly refuel my body. Since first seeing them in Canada back in 2019 I had since moved to the United States and was really pleased to see that they have been making appearances on store shelves here. When shopping in target I noticed the packaging and told my husband "This looks like this amazing Canadian sweets brand.." not realizing it was the same product until it was right in front of me. I ended up purchasing all of the peach rings they had in store so I could stock up. The flavours are right on point without that bitter fake sugar flavour. It's truly a great product. However don't expect it to be exactly like peach rings that is made by a large corporation. These are completely natural, flavoured with real fruit juice and no artificial flavors. It's something for people who are health conscious and wanting to enjoy precious delights while not comprising their health or having intense blood sugar spikes. Whether you're an athlete, diabetic or a parent who wants better options for their children - this is an amazing product for so many.

These sandals are something that require you to really break them in, and it takes time- however once they are finally molded to the shape of your soles these are the best sandals one can buy. When I went backpacking in Europe I brought myself two pairs of shoes. My sneakers and my Birkenstocks. With the intentions to only wear my sandals on days with less activity. Within two days, with my feet being really sore in my sneakers I figured I would give my birkenstocks a try. I noticed locals wearing them while walking on the cobblestone streets in Rome and once I wore them for a day I understood why! I don't know if it's the cork but it feels so much better on the feet than sneakers do. Since my travels I became a Birkenstocks enthusiast. I now own multiple pairs to go with whatever outfit I will be wearing for the day as a girl can never have too many options. While some may be teetering on the cost of them for being 'just sandals'- it's really an investment for the health of your feet. As mentioned, it takes time to break them in but it is beyond comfortable once you do. I have walked thousands of kilometers in my sandals and they are still holding up.
