I have to admit I was a little skeptical about trying these things. I mean, how good could something called "Fibre 1" really be?
Well they are pretty dang tastically delicious. They are really high in fibre which we all need in our diets, they're low in calories and they are really quite good. It's like a granola bar chocolate bar in one wrapper. I've been having them for breakfast for about 2 months straight now - and I'm hooked my friend.
ps. The best bargain for these is to be found at Costco, something like 20 bars for under 9.00$

I'm back
A girlfriend of mine reminded me that she liked to read this to find out my current obsession. So here I am, back blogging about the things I love and the things I don't love so much. Share with your friends folks, I'd like some more followers to motivate me.
Ok recent obsession - Special K chocolate crunch bars. These are freaking delish - they are low in calories, low in fat and amazingly tasty! The perfect snack food to just toss in your bag and wolf down when you're between meals. These little guys are an easy 10/10 for me.

Crest Pro Health Toothpaste - review, comment, testimonial
I tried it, I don't like it. It gets really runny and has an almost sickly sweet taste to it. I don't know if it made my teeth whiter or not, but I couldn't stand the taste and switched to something else. Good luck on that one folks, to me, toothpaste should leave your mouth feeling refreshed and clean, but Crest Pro Health just left mine feeling like I need to brush AGAIN.
MBT Shoes - review, try, test, comment, testimonial
MBT=Masai Barefoot Technology. I bought my first pair of MBT's in 2003, they were good, comfortable, and certainly capable of carrying me through the 60Km Weekend to End Breast Cancer walk. I could also work an 8 hour shift serving tables in them without many complaints. I don't know much about the claim that they get rid of or prevent celulite, but it certainly makes sense because as you are standing in them, you are definitely in a constant state of motion.
I recently started suffering from severe pain in my left hip, I tried everything, accupuncture, massage therapy, and a chiropractor. The only thing that helped was switching to wearing my MBTs daily. I had started walking to work in my new blalance running shoes, and after a few months of this, my hip started hurting.
I switched back to MBT and no more hip pain. These are now the only shoes I wear when walking. I just bought my third pair, and they are worth every penny to me.

Clean Tub - Clean Conscience
Well I thought I'd give it a try, we were out of regular tub cleaner anyway, you know the kind that claims you don't have to do any scrubbing? So I picked up a bottle of Clorox new line Green Works. To be honest, it does work, I did just as much scrubbing as I do with that other line, and I didn't feel like I was going to succumb to the noxious fumes, in fact it smelled clean, but not toxic. In this day and age, where we all have to do our part to protect the environment, if step one is using an environmentally conscious tub cleaner - I'm all in.

Rental Guide-I welcome comments from anyone who has used this service
So this is a company that will find you a home to rent... or so they say. What they will do for you is compile listings from sites like Used Victoria, Craigs List, your local newspaper, and Kijiji. So if you don't have time to go through these listing yourself, then I say go for it, pay the 75 dollars, because it will make your search easier I'm sure. But there is no guarantee that after paying the 75 bucks you will actually find a place to live. They claim that some landlords go directly to them, but I am not really sure that actually happens, but they certainly claim it does.
I for one, would not pay someone else to do what I can do myself for free, but hey, to each his own. It's your money.
A friend of mine is looking at an apartment and this is what she had to say about it
http://www.Victoria.TheRentalGuide.ca
(expletive!)
-They do not have houses/suites for rent!!!
-they do not do anything but gather listing for you
-they do not help with the application process
-they do not guarantee that you will get housing
-they do not offer you a refund of the $75 fee, if you do not find a place by the time you need to be out of your old place
Landlords do NOT list their properties on this site
Using them in no way assures that you will find a place, it's actually just a bunch of crap.

Scrubbing Bubbles Automatic Shower Sprayer
So this thing is supposed to get rid of any buildup, dirt, soap scum, mess that's already in your shower when you start using it...it's also supposed to keep your shower clean so you never have to scrub it yourself again. Well I call bull-um-oney. I tried it twice, on two different showers and it doesn't do what it says it should do. I called the company and they actually gave me my money back though, that was impressive.
I guess I'd say it makes the cleaning job you will inevitably HAVE to do, a little less labour intensive, but it certainly doesn't do what it claims to do in those lovely commercials.
