I use these on my toddler all the time. We have been potty training and I find them so much easier to pull down in the rush to the toilet than taking off a regular diaper. I also find them easier to put on than regular diapers since he doesn't want to lie down for a diaper change any more but is willing to step into these. I think they make him feel more like a big man since he's 1 1/2 and doesn't think he is a baby any more.
I find they fit slightly snugger than regular diapers but I think that is so they stay on better without having to adjust the tabs. I definitely prefer these for daytime use. I would recommend this for any parent whose little one is in the toddler phase and may be starting to potty train. They are much more convenient than regular diapers for this stage.

Love this toothpaste. I got a free tube at the PR launch back in January and it is easily my favourite toothpaste to date. Here's why:
- Very refreshing and lasting fresh breath
- Does a great job with surface stains for maintaining my teeth in between bleaching
I did notice an improvement in the whiteness of my teeth - esp when using this paired with the whitening mouthwash. It's perfect for that in between time when I don't plan to bleach for another month or two but I my teeth need a pick me up. This toothpaste is most effective when used with a power toothbrush, which is actually true for all toothpaste. I would definitely purchase this again.

I too got one of these to try in the office. I chose a brighter shade that comes out looking even brighter on my lips. It's not 100% true to the how it appears before you put it on. However, the product itself is lovely. Reasonably long lasting, about as moisturizing as a lipstick and easy to apply with precision because it is in a pencil format. I especially love that it is a more natural lipstick, all with food grade ingredients.
I would really like to try the lipstick version because the girls in the office really seemed to like them. These are pricy at $28 each. It's more than I would normally pay for a lipstick, but I feel better about the ingredients than other lip products in the same price range.

This paired with the shampoo really does work for dry scalp. For the longest time I wasn't sure if I had dandruff or just dry scalp. Using these products made my scalp perfectly healthy and the flakiness went away so now I know it was just dry scalp. For that reason I like these products. However, I don't find it moisturizing enough for the rest of my hair. I colour/highlight my hair often so it tends to get dry. I need more moisture than I find I can get from these products. So I use this for my scalp when needed (when things get dry) and then switch to my other products in between. Regardless I'm grateful to find an affordable product that really does work for my dry scalp. I received this and the shampoo compliments of the brand. -

Most of my hair products are from the salon but I'll do my best not to compare it to those. I find this works very well for my scalp. I do have dry scalp - especially in the winter. I was never sure if it was dandruff or just dry scalp (two very different things). After using this product for a couple of weeks, I did notice a huge difference in my scalp. The dryness and flakiness are gone. Even my hair stylist said my scalp looked healthy. For that reason I would continue using this and the conditioner that goes with it as needed. I do find it somewhat drying on the rest of my hair, which doesn't make much sense. It doesn't leave my hair soft and shiny the way my salon products do, so I will just use this when needed. I recommend anyone with dry scalp to give these products a shot and see if they work for you. They do have a dandruff product from this line as well if dandruff is your concern. I received my products free from the brand. I received this and the matching conditioner compliments of the brand. -

This is such a great hair salon for kids! They have several locations around the city. I've brought my son here a couple of times for a cut and he loves that he gets to sit on a horse or in a plane, car or train while he gets his hair cut. The staff really know how to handle small children and help them not be afraid of the scissors or razor. They blow bubbles and do things to make the kids laugh and feel comfortable. It's such a great concept and I'm glad there is this sort of service available because I can't imagine how my toddler would handle a regular salon or worse - having to cut his hair myself. It's also priced reasonably at less than $25 a cut. Highly recommended. -

This is a cleanser that exfoliates using lactic acid. You can use it to wash your face or leave it on for a few minutes as a mask. It causes some redness for me when used as a mask but it quickly fades. I've been testing this the past couple of weeks and I like it! I like that it takes care of exfoliating and cleansing in one step without the little beads. The only thing is you have to keep it away from your eyes and I prefer products that I can use on my whole face, including washing off my eye makeup. I received my sample complimentary. -

I received this as a gift and it's become my favourite body lotion. It has a very spa like scent when you first put it on, but it mellows into something subtle and lovely. I find it very soothing to use and it is quite moisturizing. It's on the pricy side at about $30 for a 200 ml bottle, but it's a really nice treat. -

I've been testing this for the month of January. It is a very concentrated serum that is loaded with vitamin C, which is a powerful anti-aging agent. When you put a few drops of this on your skin every morning, it lasts for up to 72 hours though you wouldn't notice it is there. This is the kind of product that you need to use for at least a month consistently every day to get the full benefits. It has a bit of a scent when you put it on (if I say it reminds me of molasses does that make sense?), but it instantly fades to nothing. The scent is not unpleasant.
SkinCeuticals products are expensive but they are very effective. I did notice the first few times I used the product that my eyes were a bit itchy. I don't know if it was directly related to the product because I didn't put it near my eyes, but after a few days that stopped so I'll never know. My skin looks healthier and more radiant when I use this even though I've been sick a fair bit this month.
My regimen at the moment is almost entirely SkinCeuticals serums. I did not noticed a radical difference but I stopped using the S.C products for a few days here and there to test other products and my skin was not pleased. I developed dry flakes on my face and some blocked pores. This product will never block your pores because it's not a cream.
I got my product from the PR company, which was a huge blessing since it retails for $86 for 30ml. You only need a few drops of the product so it lasts a while. I've used roughly 1/3 of the bottle in 30 days.
