Reviewing Canadian Businesses & Products
Though I'd heard of subscription boxes for years, I thought they were a silly thing to get into. Why spend money on things you likely don't want? My sister had subscribed to a box, though I can't remember which one, and ended up giving most of the items away. Truthfully, I feel quite embarrassed when... Continue Reading →
A few months ago I ordered a gift box from Café Hubert Saint-Jean as part of a job that I will not further discuss. One of the goodies inside the box was the utterly spectacular hazelnut and dark chocolate spread from Allo Simonne. I have always been a fan of Nutella, but this is so... Continue Reading →
A few years ago I decided to do my Christmas shopping in Fort Langley. The town is full of unique stores with quite a few local, Canadian, and handmade products. Although it can be pricey, there are some good finds. One type of business that has sprouted up in excess recently is hand-poured soy candles.... Continue Reading →
My reasons for purchasing things from clearly scam websites are to remain unknown and have nothing to do with the main content of this site. However, I am going to keep a list of my worst (best?) experiences here. I hope this will help document their scamminess in an effort to stop other people from... Continue Reading →
The shipping for this box was such a tease. When I finally got and checked the confirmation, (this account is not linked to my phone, so I have to intentionally look it up) it said that it would be arriving "early - tomorrow"! I was so excited. I waited with anticipation the whole following day,... Continue Reading →
Sea Salt & Toffee Bits I was in the Co-op the other day buying chicken feed, when I saw a lot of chocolates in different shapes: horseshoes, dogs, horses, etc. They definitely fit the theme of the store. That was what originally caught my attention, but then I noticed these two bars that looked fairly... Continue Reading →
The Maple Box: "Happy Summer" 2022 When I purchased an annual subscription to The Maple Box, I wasn't expecting to receive a box until the fall, so along with the subscription I ordered two bundles, which I wrote about in an earlier post. I enjoyed the products in the bundles so much, I was really... Continue Reading →
Bouquet purchased July 22 2022 I never used to buy flowers. Then my sister started her pursuit of the art of being a florist, and I couldn't help but jump on board and support that endeavour. Now when she's making bouquets my house often ends up full of flowers. Don't imagine this is because she's... Continue Reading →
Headband from Blush Silks in the colour "champagne" The problem with online shopping is that you never know what you're going to get. Pictures, though very helpful, often aren't an accurate representation of what you'll receive. Size can be elusive unless there is something to compare it to, and even then you might misjudge. Colour,... Continue Reading →
Ok, so I may have had a bit of a breakdown last week and decided to do some pretty hefty retail therapy. I've been mystery shopping for the past few months and realized I really enjoy being required to purchase something I wouldn't normally buy. I found the mystery of "what will I buy this...
