Small Gems Found in the Amazon

5-Mar-20235-Mar-2023 BradicalRandom Reviews

For this review we decided it would be good to share a few of the smaller items we’ve found on Amazon. These are items we used more than we realized we would, items we think would make great gifts, items that are just plain helpful. O’Keeffes’ Hand Cream: Ah winter… how my hands loathe the cold and dry air you bring. I’ve been adverse to hand creams because I always found them greasy, sticky, or, most importantly, ineffective. But with my job and being out in the cold half the time I found the last few years my hands have […]

Mission: The Public Bathroom

26-Sep-202226-Sep-2022 Alida_CRandom Reviews

Public Bathrooms are a necessary but not an enjoyable adventure. Though some are just fine using the communal lou, for others its a process. You got the squatters, the tons of toilet paper as a layer, the sanitizers or maybe you do it all. Though one of my favourite bathrooms I went to had a button on the floor that moved a plastic layer for a clean seat. Anyway point of my story is some of us like a little protection. And one thing I like is toilet seat covers. I do see them more in the States then in […]

Where’s the Ramen?-Gluten Free Style

31-Dec-202015-Sep-2022 Alida_CRandom Reviews

Lets talk about ramen! We like ramen, whether from a restaurant or going into our pantry for making it at home. It is really a comfort food. A problem though is the most common ingredients in ramen is wheat, which doesn’t work in a gluten intolerant household. But we are always on the lookout for gluten free products around here, so when we found a gluten free Ramen at Costco we had to try it. The Product: Lotus Foods Organic Millet and Brown Rice Ramen. This product is gluten free, vegan and organic. Now according to their website FAQ it […]

Bath Time In a Small Tub

16-Dec-202021-Apr-2022 Alida_CRandom Reviews

Lets talk about baths! I live in an apartment that has a bathtub but it’s a short tub. I like baths especially after a busy week. Or after a cold day outside, especially when it gets to minus 20 Celsius. The problem with short tubs is the overflow drain will not let you be nice and snug under those warm waters. So what do you do? Do you cover it with your foot? Do you fill the tub as high as you can and enjoy the deeper waters for a few seconds? Well there is a smarter way! You buy […]

Wow is that a ShamWow?

30-Nov-202021-Apr-2022 Alida_CRandom Reviews

Lets talk about Shamwow. I bought my first Shamwow over 10 years ago when visiting the Calgary Stampede. I wouldn’t have called it an impulse buy but I was a little impressed at all the water it could hold, so I might have been caught up in the wonder of it. So what exactly is the Shamwow? The Shamwow is made up of viscose materials. This means it’s a type of Rayon. Rayon is made from cellulous fiber usually made from wood or other similar materials that is then processed. As mentioned, I really like the amount of water the […]

A Great Way to Shave a Few Dollars

9-Nov-20209-Nov-2020 BradicalRandom Reviews

It’s no secret: most guys are creatures of habit, we don’t like change… So, when it comes to shaving, if we find a good razor we hold on to it for as long as we can. There’s nothing like a quality razor blade that gives you a smooth finish with no nicks or cuts. But name brand razors and their cartridges are so expensive and what if your razor blade is out of stock when you go to the store? Sure disposable razors are fine in a pinch but, personally, they are not a long-term option. Thankfully, there is another… […]
