I have really sensitive rosacea skin, so my face goes through periods where it is extremely dry, peeling, red and burning, sometimes even swelling. I recently went through one of the worst flare ups i have ever experienced, it was not good. My skin felt like i had spent an entire day out in the sun and got a really bad sunburn from this, and my face sure was lobster red, i live in Winnipeg, Can...

I dont normally buy gadgets because they usually dont work that well or they just sit in the drawer and are forgotten about. I saw this little jar opener on sale for $5.00, and thought about my mom with rhumatoid arthritis and how she struggles to open jars, so i bought this for her. She loves this jar opener and finds it really easy to use on the toughest sealed jars of all sizes, you can adju...

La Senza was once Canadian, until it was purchased by Victoria's Secret, now it is a Canadian  version of Victoria's Secret or similar to that of the American lingerie store. Same fabrics, styles, colors and promotions, maybe with some better priced items, especially bras. I have always been a customer of La Senza so i am familiar with the product, but i have  been a mail orde...

I found this queen size Debbie Travis matress pad on clearance at Canadian Tire for $35.00 last summer, i believe the regular price was somewhere around $120.00. They were clearing out alot of their bedding and linens, and i dont think the store carries much if any bedding anymore.My bed is 10 years old, and not very comfortable anymore, unfortunately because i am a full time university student...

When i was in my early twenties i was very self concious of my very fair pale skin tone, and i was tired of people asking me if i wasn't feeling well because 'you look so pale' uh ya well that's because i naturally am! So i started using self tanners, and it eventually got to the point where i was obsessed with looking tan. I tried tanning in the sun and in the salon beds, but i...

I love most everything with Febreeze deoderizers in them, and Mr. Clean's products are no exception. I am going to review two of the Mr. Clean with Febreeze scents, the first one, Meadows and Rain. This one comes in a turquoise liquid, it was the first scent from this collection i had tried, and it is also the one that has turned me on to Mr. Clean. Before this i didnt care for their produc...

I'm always rushing around in the morning getting ready for work or school so i don't have the time to actually sit down and eat  breakfast, i pour some cereal into a bowl, along with some milk and a packet of splenda and eat my Wheatabix in my bedroom while getting ready through mouthfuls. So when the weekend comes around, i get to sleep in a little bit and be lazy, i pull out my B...

A strange review, but i am interested to know if any one else has experienced the same problem with this toilet paper. Does it clog and overflow your toilet too? The last few times i have purchased the Charmin brand of toilet paper 2ply double rolls, my toilet overflowed. And it didn't matter how little was used, it will clog the system.  I have never had a problem like this with ...

This is a review on one of my moms oldest appliances that she still uses. The Black and Decker skillet is older than my brother and myself! Yet still works like brand new! Im not entirely sure how old this skillet actually is, but my mom estimates it to be between 35 to 40 years old! I remember her making yummy smelling sheppards pie or homemeade hamburgers, stir frys and other homecooked meals...

My bedroom gets too cold in the winter. its located on the corner of my house so i get alot of wind and cold air hitting the window, making my room feel like a fridge. It gets so cold in my room even the ice in my drink doesnt melt! The heating vent in the floor doesnt do much to warm my bedroom, it gets hot in the rest of the house so the heat will just go off and not come back on because of t...

My family and i shop alot at Canadian Tire, they are a hardware and house hold supply store with everything from tools to coffee makers, cleaning supplies, auto needs, and furniture. The main reason we shop at this store is the awsome deals and sales they continously have, and everytime you make a purchase you get some money back, well not real money, its more like Monopoly money, and its only ...

The cottage was rented out to many people over the years, until finally the owners decided to sell it, they didnt want the responsibility anymore of cleaning up after some of the young party renters. And i dont blame them, my goodness, the place was a disaster on the inside!There was dried can...
