I like the concept of this toy. It's fun to hatch out new friends to play with and take care of. It was fun watching the little creatures come out of their eggs. While I didn't love the colour mess, my son thought it was fun, so I was ok with it. What I didn't love quite as much was the amount of waste these toys had. Once the creature had hatched, the egg portion was essentially garbage which I hadn't expected. I had hoped it would all just sort of dissolve. Then, adding in the playability of the toys which honestly, wasn't as great as they could have been, I found that there was just a lot of waste and as someone who tries to be environmentally friendly, these just weren't a hit on my book. My child quickly lost interest in the toys after the hatching. I've passed them along to someone else's child who I am hoping will enjoy them. Perhaps it just wasn't our thing!? Spinmaster makes a lot of other great toys for my kids. -

I tried Drydex Dry Time Indicator Spackling kit for free in exchange for my honest review. I found this kit really handy to use. I loved that the spackle went from pink to white so I could tell it was totally dry. It was a good consistency, and provided great coverage. I was able to easily sand it smooth and my wall was ready to repaint in hours. It was a little dusty but overall it wasn't a huge deal. I would absolutely buy this again.

I was given the opportunity to test out Band-Aid brand pro heel bandages. I really enjoyed how waterproof these bandages were and how well they stayed put. They did seem to help speed up healing a bit. However, the thing that makes them great also causes a bit of a problem occasionally. While these Band-Aids stick really well, the healing gel that is added to them, them can also stick to any scabbing that has formed. And if your wound is not fully healed and you remove the Band-Aid too soon, it can pull the scabbing off. Overall, I really did like these bandages but you need to be prepared to wear them for a while or risk pulling the scab off. -

I was given a chance to try Nexcare™ Thin and Transparent Acne Patches in exchange for my honest review....and then proceeded to have the clearest skin week of my life. However, I can tell you that these patches peel off easily with their helpful tabs and go almost invisible when they're on. Check out my photo. Can you see it? It's on my chin. They're comfortable and the best part is that even if they did nothing for my pimples (which I doubt), they will keep this chronic picker at bay. That alone will speed up my healing time. That alone makes these absolutely worth it for me.

Are you looking for a delicious scented moisturizer that will be a treat for your whole body? L’Occitane Almond Milk Concentrate was given to me in exchange for my honest review. I used it after my shower in place of my usual moisturizer. It goes on smooth, smells Divine, and leaves my skin feeling supple and soft. I love that it's natural and uses products that are responsibly grown and sustainable. The packaging is also super cute. While the price tag might make some people pause, for me, this is a luxurious and worthwhile treat.

I was given 4 PanOxyl PM Blemish Brightening Patches to try out in exchange for my honest review. The product claims that it will quickly fade blemish marks. I used the four patches taking before, during and after photos. There does appear to be some healing but I don't know for sure if this was the product working or if it was simply naturally healing on its own. I did find that immediately after removing the product there was some irritation because it stuck so well. It felt kind of like removing a slightly less sticky bandage. I don't know if I had enough of the product to do a thorough review to say if it was a help or not.

I was able to try out L'Occitane Almond Shower Cream in exchange for my honest review. I showered with it for a week to see how it worked. I absolutely love the smell of this shower cream. It is sweet but not in an overpowering way. I did find I needed to use a bit more than my usual product to get a good lather but as this is a cream that is to be expected. It rinsed off easily and left my skin feeling soft and smooth. I would enjoy this product when I wanted to indulge myself a bit because it smells so nice.

Normally I am a complete wuss when it comes too mouthwash. The burn is usually too much for me to handle. However, LISTERINE® TOTAL CARE ZERO Alcohol Free Mouthwash took care of that problem for me by removing the alcohol and leaving nothing but a great tasting and highly effective mouthwash. It is a very gentle mint flavour but the feeling of clean lasts for a really long time after using it. Hopefully my next dentist appointment will show the great results from using this because my mouth feels awesome. -

I received the CANVAS Clavet 1-Light Flush Mount Ceiling Light with Opal Glass Shade in Brushed Gold in exchange for my honest review. The light is exactly how it looks on the box. A very simple, clean and classic looking design.
My husband and I have installed a few light fixtures in our time together and I think this was one of the easiest. The directions were clear and simple to follow. All we needed was a screw driver. The old light was removed and the new one was up within 30 minutes or less.
Now I just need to get the rest of our closet looking as nice as our new light!

Finally! A non-greasy but easy absorbing moisturizer for my very dry skin! Lubriderm® Advanced Moisture Therapy Lotion is exactly the product I needed. My skin gets SO dry in Canadian winter and it can take me months to get it summer ready. This lotion is just the right consistency without being greasy. I'm not stuck trying to rub it into my skin for hours on end. I also like that there's no scent because if a scent isn't right, it can be off putting. My skin now feels soft and smooth and I feel ready to show it off for the summer! -
