I have seen this popping up everywhere on social media. Maybe because the algorithms know I like jewelry. When they had a great sale, I took the plunge and bought a few pieces and two sets. They were sooooo well packaged, well made, gorgeous designs and really versatile to wear day to night and even as everyday wear. I actually bought one of their limited sets (necklace, earrings and bracelet) and loved it so much and wear it so often that I bought a second set for when the first one wears out!

Feedback

Beautiful pieces ranging from conservative to sexy to fun. Well made, fast shipping, well packaged and run don't walk when it's on sale. The only thing I wish more jewelry places offered is the option to not get a box or a bag or something. I have so many pieces and don't need all the extra packaging.

Bought these because my sister was raving about them. When they went on sale, I decided to go for it. I don't usually use stockings because I find them uncomfortable and I feel like I'm paranoid about getting a run in them. Bought these and took them for a spin at my cousins wedding figuring if they fail me, I can just take them off and throw them away. These things took a lot that day. I have long nails, I had strappy shoes, and beading on my dress. These tights did not even snare. When they go on sale, I plan to buy a few more for work and such.

Feedback

Well worth the money. Comes in good sizes and colours and patterns. Everything from reserved to party. And more importantly - they work.

We buy this brand for my kids because they work and they last and they look really cute. Lots of adults also use them, but it's been a go-to for my daughters as they grow. What makes me love and commit to the brand even more? The owner, who has a passion for breaking business norms and supporting the aid of fixing climate change, GAVE his whole company to charity. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/14/climate/patagonia-climate-philanthropy-chouinard.html I mean, it works, looks great, lasts and stands for good? It's a no-brainer.

S’well

I tried S'well because I liked their range and the fact that they were light weight and looked REALLY nice and fairly big options for designs and patterns. I really liked it for myself. The smaller bottles are great because they are sturdy and easy to clean. The larger ones, once filled got pretty heavy and if you drop them, they WILL dent. They also get stollen a lot unfortunately. For an expensive product, I would just use it at home or somewhere I could easily keep an eye on it.

Feedback

Is it worth the money? With so many options, its a well-made bottle, but it doesn't really have any special features that make it note worthy for that price tag.

My husband saw these and thought it would be a great healthy alternative for our cereal-loving household. They are supposed to mimic some of the well-known cereals out there that we all know and love. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if my expectations were high because it was obvious what cereal they were aiming to taste like, but I was not a fan of the taste. Some were just bland and others tasted like a strange combo of flavours. We made marshmallow squares out of two boxes, but ended up throwing one out unfortunately.

Feedback

I really really really wanted to love this healthy alternative. Maybe for someone that doesn't already eat a lot of yummy cereals and knows the good tastes of sugar in them would be fine, but it didn't hit home with my kids nor myself unfortunately. It did only recently come out, so I would definitely give it a try again after they tweak it more.

I played this first at a friends house and was immediately hooked. The simple card game is HILARIOUS especially if you have a dirty or dark sense of humour, are into pop culture, politics and such. I enjoyed it so much I bought The Big Black Box and a few expansion packs. If you don't find certain cards funny, you can easily just keep them out and not use them. The game is best with a good size group of 4-8 people. Have some wine, get giddy and have fun.

Feedback

An inexpensive, Canadian-grown and owned card game that is so simple but hugely hilarious beyond belief. It's a great ice breaker when you are introducing different groups of people together, having a fun night in with your close buddies, take on a vacation, etc. Warning: Unless really chill and cool, don't play it with your family.

I have quite a bit of product from The Ordinary. I'm lucky to have both the stand alone stores and Sephora really accessible to get the products. The great thing about it is that it's REALLY inexpensive for highly potent products that are the same if not better than brands much much much more expensive. You can tailor a combination of products just for what you need. Sometimes it's worked really well for me, but other time, I feel like I'm combining 5 different things and to pay more for it all in one product, I would have done that if possible.

Feedback

For one or two products that are really potent in a small combination or individually, really worth it. If you need a combination of a items, it's good to weigh the time and amount of items compared to one single item from another brand that may do it all in one. Either way, its a huge money saver when you do use them and they are REALLY effective.

Purchased through a Thingtesting offer

I've been interested in micro dosing lately after reading a lot about the science. I had tried the capsule form first, but it wasn't very appealing. When I saw these in a gummy form, I thought "YESSSS!". I first tried the Micro and didn't feel much from it. They were a little strange tasting. I later tried the Macro and could feel that more. I took 3 and it was perfect. The taste was actually much better. I did try to keep them in the sealed package and maybe tried to keep them too long. When I opened it last, it had a sort of liquid in the bag, so I ended up getting rid of the rest because I wasn't sure if it was still ok to use.

Feedback

This is one of the first gummy versions I have tried. Although I would have liked it to be a little better tasting, it's not bad. I would have liked a stronger version too, but if you take a few Macro, you get a nice feeling. The Micro may be good for a starting point. Also, don't take too long to use them or you'll get the strange liquid in the bag!

I bought two of the carry-on plus cases in white. I received them really quickly. I was worried because I needed them for a trip pretty soon, so the prompt shipping was a huge relief. I also got custom tags made in gold. They did one of them incorrectly but shipped a replacement really quickly.

Feedback

The cases were packaged nicely and come with a bag to store them in so they don't get scuffed in storage. It was my first new suitcase in a longtime, so I appreciated the 360 wheels and the built-in coded lock which was easy to set and easy to use. It's also really light. Each comes with a wet bag inside which is handy for those beach vacations! It was unfortunate that the few times I have had to check them, the get quite scuffed, but that would likely happen with any white suitcase. Including something to protect/clean it with would be great in the future.

I purchased two rugs online from Ruggable. One for my foyer and one for my sunroom. They both arrived promptly and were just as beautiful as they looked online. The one for my sunroom was a bit bigger than the measurements said, so I had to fold a side of it to fit. I did follow up with them via IG and they emailed me back shortly after to help resolve the issue. Although I didn't follow up, they did seem anxious to make it right. They have sales often and it's definitely worth it.

Feedback

NB. The padding shouldn't be used by a door as it may not clear the rug with the extra padding. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase from them again. Actually, I'm sure I will.
