Rusk Flat Iron
I couldn't have been more excited when I got this flat iron to try. I have extremely long, dry, curly hair. Most of the time it’s up in a ponytail or bun because I hate washing it everyday and setting it and waiting for it to dry. All my life I have wished for straight hair. In comes the Rusk Flat Iron with CTC technology. First thing I noticed was how fast it heated it. It seemed almost instantaneously. Now for me to wash and dry and straighten my hair with my old Chi iron would take about two to two and a half hours. After washing my hair, blow drying and then straightening it I noticed it had only been 45 minutes!!! I was shocked. Not only did this flat iron cut down the time significantly, it also has made my hair the smoothest it has ever been. EVER! I recommend this to anyone who has curly hair and wants it straight without the hassle and danger of chemical straightener.
Green Beaver
I recently tried the whole Green Beaver Boreal Forest Dry Skin Therapy collection. As someone who has very dry, itchy skin I was blown away. I usually have to reapply cream to my body 3-4 times a day and I still get dry spots. Not with this stuff. Every morning after I showered I covered myself head to toe in the Full Body Lotion. I stayed moisturized all day! The face cream is a life saver for me as well. It's normally a race to apply my makeup before my face gets too dry after applying my moisturizer. I get flakey and dry within 10 minutes. And I've tried everything. My face stayed supple all day. The fact that these products are all natural, organic, vegan, gluten free AND made in Canada is just the icing on the cake. I Love Green Beaver and I can't wait to try all their other products
Escents Aromatherapy
When you get a headache what do you do? For years for me it was reaching for that Tylenol bottle, something I didn’t like to do but felt I had no other choice. I came across this headache relief roller ball. It is completely natural, it uses the basics of aromatherapy to treat symptoms. The company has roller balls for a wide selection of ailments, with headache relief being the most popular. You basically just roll it on your head between your eyes, temples, back of the next and anywhere you feel headache tension. You immediately feel a cooling sensation. Within 5 minutes I had complete headache relief. No tension at all and my head felt cool and light. This is something I will definitely stick with it. I couldn’t be more pleased with this product.

Traditional Medicinals
I have been using this product for years and it happens to be Canada’s top-selling medicinal tea brand. Yes it works! I recommend it all the time, drinking your plants” for decades. One or two cups of the tea depending on what you are suffering from really clears your head, sinuses, helps you sleep better than any over the counter medicine. The teas are formulated by on-staff herbalists, are made with high-grade medicinal herbs that undergo rigorous testing throughout the manufacturing process. Let plants be the solution for what ails you.
