I am not sure if this is a business you can go to or if they are purely mail-order, but what is…read moreclear is that this local company makes incredible, natural, organic skin-care products that are out-of-this-world good. You know what else is clear? My skin, that's what. I got a sample of the "Amaze Gel" and put off using it for a while... until I was going to run myself an evening (likely a Saturday, knowing me) mani-pedi-exfoliation marathon. I started using the gel and immediately felt this rush in my body, a sense of blood filling the valves and ventricles of my lonely heart... "Egads," I thought. "This may be The Holy Grail of skin-care products. It is time to drink this moment in. Drink, deep." You start by spreading a really thin layer on your skin and wait about 15 seconds and then start making small circles, as though you were rubbing it in. Which you aren't; rather, you are rubbing off dead skin. Little pulpy balls of the "cornified:" (their word, not mine). layer of dermis. If you get a thrill out of sanding wood or vacuuming, you may appreciate the experience of this manner of exfoliation. It doesn't hurt, it doesn't sting, it has no odour. They recommend you use it every day for three months and then reduce frequency. After 5 days I noticed a considerable difference, though the first few days were a bit rough. It was as though my pores were purging. Which again, if you like vacuuming... you may enjoy this process. The texture of my skin is really much more even now. My skin hasn't dried out, in fact, I think my skin is accepting moisturizer and other skin potions better. (I also started using their skin cream - paraben-free!) It's more gentle than exfoliating with something abrasive and yet far, far more effective. It is a bit expensive but it works. I have yet to spring for the giant container but find the small size ($10, about the size of a jar of lip balm) lasts a lot longer than you'd think. My skin is behaving itself when I use it, which is all I can ask for. I've turned four (3 girls, one guy) people onto it and they all love it too.

I went to my local Alive store in Surrey to buy vitamins and we got to chatting about skin care…read morelines. I had this problem with eye bags that makes me look tired. The lady behind the counter recommended the Amaze product line and I bought my first Amaze Concentrated Anti-Aging Serum. I couldn't believe she was 60 years old and she uses this product daily. It worked so well that I noticed a difference within the first week and after two months, my saggy eye bags almost disappeared. I called Viva directly in Richmond and asked "what else can I use?". I talked to to Tina and she invited me to one of their tradeshows and one of their reps showed me how everything worked together. I still think considering that all the crap I had to buy and junk in the last 15 years, the Amaze product line price is a total steal (Presciptives cost about $70 a bottle at the Bay and it barely worked). You can always buy a kit which works out cheaper. If you buy them individually, the cost ranges about $35 - $60. I bought my kit in November which included four pieces and I've only had to replace one bottle. After a week of using the full Amaze line, one of my girlfriends that I bumped into at a party told me "wow. you look younger" "what are you doing". I'm a big believer and I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for anti-aging solutions.

It's like they don't check and go over the online orders from the night before. So I have to wait for the orders to be picked on the spot. I strongly recommend going over the quantities that you ordered, when they are rushing they will make mistakes. You order online because it makes it convenient and my multiple experiences with this location particularly be lacking every time. I go here because it's close to home but if I can I'll go to the Ladner location or the queensBurrough location. The staff at this location needs more training on how to do the job or the really don't care. Either way either check out another location or go there a pick what you need yourself. The only reason I'm giving it two stars is they usually have what I'm looking for.

It's like the Superstore aisles with all their vitamins/multi-vitamins etc. but these stores are ONLY that, so it's even more tunnel vision.

The crunchy coffee was my favourite. It is not that sweet, but it does have a good taste which is almost the same as the Blenz protein smoothie. The super acai is not sweet at all. The berries give its taste; it's not a favourite, but satisfying and fulfilling, especially when you know you are taking in healthy drinks. Aside from their smoothie bar they sells a variety of supplements, vitamins, and other healthy products, so, we took the opportunity to buy some organic honey, tea, Apple cider, Vinegar, and protein coffee.

The result was a creamy, nutty drink that was smooth and yummy! I love how it wasn't too thick and easy to drink I also really enjoyed the Crunchy Coffee which reminded me of an iced cap from Timmies. The Black Sesame drink on the other hand was a bit on the thicker side but it was absolutely packed with flavour! Note: you can choose between whey, vegan, or no protein for your drinks!
