I love the taste of this mix of chicory & dandelion root. The colour is coffee-like. I drink it without sugar and with a drop of milk and it takes similar to coffee. It's slightly bitter without sugar, but the kind of bitterness that is enjoyable and palatable. The product comes in handy individual teabags inside a saleable plastic bag One teabag is enough to make a strong large mug of 'coffee' in the morning. As it's caffeine-free, I drink it at night without worrying that will affect my sleep. I've noticed a slightly laxative effect if I drink several cups of this a day. A bit pricey.
I use this tape to glue small pieces of paper onto the art inspiration boards I make; I reposition the elements on the page quite often, and the tape works beautifully without tearing the paper. I also use it to bookmark magazines or book pages as well as a removable keyword label to stick on file folders tabs. I have tried it as masking tape for my artwork, but it's OK for that; yet, perfect to have it around in an 'emergency'. I sometimes use it to glue notes on my metal mesh door, for example, to leave notes for delivery guys or my neighbors to see, but it tends to get unstuck and it doesn't work as well as normal tape. For the rest, I love the versatility of this product.
This cartridge provides great quality printing and my printer uses it to the last drop. Even when I use the draft printing settings and average printing paper, the results are excellent. The only downside is that it doesn't last me much and, if I want a decent printing yield, I have to buy the XL cartridge.
Lindt chocolates are my fav chocolates and I have tried other varieties of dark chocolate and salted caramel so I was expecting this to be as good. Unfortunately, this one doesn't have the balance of textures and flavors that I love from the brand. Chocolate is definitely good quality but there is too much caramel and it's too gooey. This being the case, it overwhelms the dark chocolate flavor. I'd rather have the caramel crystallized and less of it because, as it is, it's too sweet for me and I won't buy it again.
On the other hand, the pieces are individually wrapped and have the perfect size for a coffee/tea snack and to carry them in my launch bag.
This is a box of tea bags not loose tea. I really like this Jasmine tea selection. It's light and flavorsome with a bit of bitter after-taste coming from the green tea mix. I like it in the evenings when I want a low-caffeine tisane. Very good quality teabags, too. I will buy it again.
Wonderful 300 gsm watercolor paper perfect for mixed media, watercolor painting and heavy collage. I've used this with acrylic paints, collage and mixed media, and it stands well multiple layers of paint, embellishments and other materials (chipboard die-cuts, burlap, fabric, other paper, etc.) as well as spray inks. It's slightly larger than A4 (see my photo). Easy to remove from the pad. It's quite smooth but it has a bit of tooth (see my photo). Best non-professional watercolor paper I've ever used. I'll buy it again.
This is a great set of oil pastels for beginners. It's really cheap, the quality is excellent for the price, like better than expected, and the selection of colours is terrific as the package contains a mix of primary, secondary and pastel colours. Easy to use and spread, although not as spreadable as good quality ones. On the other hand, I wish these ones have points, a la crayons, to make use easier while drawing lines or filling in corners or narrow spaces. I love this set.
