I'm surprised how much I like this stuff. We had a couple of bottles left over from a campaign and I decided to try it. The scent is subtle and lovely. Not fruity, floral or overly sweet. I found the hold quite good. I like to curl my hair a bit and I prefer to drive with the windows open. I'm writing this review at the end of the day with many highway hours logged with the windows open and my hair still looks good. Not crunchy or stuff, just gently tossled. Approved! -

I just purchased this from Shoppers Drug Mart because I was in a pinch and could not go into a meeting with my paper dry hands. Seriously, my hands are so dry they are white and I'm often embarrassed to shake people's hands. This lotion absorbs instantly into my hands with no grease at all. I can still see some of the white skin but my hands feel super soft. The scent is subtle. I'm not sure how to describe it. But I don't love it. But I'm very picky about that. In my world lotion either needs to smell like nothing or vanilla or coconut. That's it. I'd definitely buy this again - especially if I can get it in the coconut version -

I suffer from major eczema every winter and this winter it got so bad that it went from my torso all the way down to my ankles. I was talking to my sister about it who has the same skin condition and she told me that she uses plain old Vaseline and it works wonders for her. She even uses it for her hands as a hand lotion. I used some of hers on the spot and was really surprised at how much softer my hands were and so I thought why not get a tub and try it on my body as well. I like the cocoa butter scent so I bought a tub of the Cocoa butter one. What a massive difference it has made for my skin! The cocoa butter sent is ok - could be a little bit better but what I love the most is how much better my skin is doing. It's not as dry or itchy and my severely dry hands respond really well to it. I now use this every day as my hand and body moisturizer. I'm not sure that is the intention of the product but it works for me. -
Dove Baby Fresh Scent Bar
Love the baby bar soap! The scent is nice and gentle and it doesn't irritate my children's skin. But my kids are the ones who love it the most. For some reason they really love playing with it in the bathtub as though it's one of their toys... +
Love the baby bar soap! The scent is nice and gentle and it doesn't irritate my children's skin. But my kids are the ones who love it the most. For some reason they really love playing with it in the bathtub as though it's one of their toys. Smelling it, letting it slip through their hands until the bathwater becomes all milky. We go through these probably quicker than we should. But I don't mind. Reasonable price too. -

We had one of these left over from a recent Product Review Club and I decided to try it myself. I really like it! It does a better job at removing my eye makeup than wipes and my skin doesn't feel tight at all after using it. That's rare for me. Pretty much anything I use to clean my face makes my skin feel tight.
Most of all, I like that I can sit in my bed watching Netflix on my Ipad while removing all of my makeup and then not have to rinse or scrub my face in any way. It's also quite a large bottle so excellent value. This would also be a great item to have for traveling or camping when you want a clean face but have less access to clean water.
Thumbs up!

Mabel's Labels Back-To-School Label Packs

I bought these for my little one who is in JK using the ChickAdvisor promo code (only available for a period of time). I loved that this pack had so many shoe labels and plenty of options for individual supplies. I love the quality, durability and the designs. I was able to label everything from water bottles to snack containers, shoes and clothes. My only critique is I would have liked to see a couple of the dog tags in this collection for the backpack. There is something for a pencil case or another item with a small zipper but the larger dog tag for the backpack would have been ideal. -

I love Method products so much for cleaning my home. I'm so glad they have body washes and hand soaps too. I love the natural ingredients and reusable packaging.
I do wish there was more variety for the scent options for the body washes but I bought this one because it kind of goes with the Method laundry soap I buy. It's definitely a more "manly" scent, but I do like it. I don't like that products for women always have to be so tutty fruity. My favourite body wash from Method is the rice and mallow. Hands down the best scent they have.
I will keep buying the body wash but prefer the rice and mallow scent.

Scotch Essentials Permanent Hem Bonding Strips

I wish this was available in my early 20s when I was a poor student going around in pants that were too long. My solution was always to wear the highest possible heels so I wouldn't have to hem them (I've always been practical like that).
The package includes a bunch of strips so you can hem many pairs of pants permanently - without a needle and thread. The strips are very sticky and you need to do this slowly and carefully but it really works. You can hem pretty much anything with them. We tested these on a pair of jeans and were amazed at the sticking power.
The instructions say you can wash your newly hemmed item with cold water. I suspect if you washed them in warm it could affect the efficacy of the hem tape. Great product!!

This is such a brilliant idea! This is for those times when you realize your dress shirt has lost a button and of course it's in a critical spot. These are ridiculously easy to use. They are button pins where you can choose between a light or dark button to stick on the pin and pop it into place where your button once was. It is a temporary fix you can use on the go with zero skill. I really love these. The only thing is the clear button will look a little darker than the buttons on your shirt if they are white. Still a major win for a wardrobe malfunction. -

My favourite of the Anthelios line-up. I've used other aerosol sunscreens before with hilarious/disastrous results where you can see clearly where you sprayed and where you burned. I don't know how that doesn't happen with this one but it just doesn't. You don't even have to rub it in. Whether I sprayed it on my own body or my husband's back, there were no tell-tale burned patches where the sunscreen had missed. It just covers really evenly and provides awesome protection. Lightweight, not greasy. Absolutely perfect. -
