Tucked away kids costumes in this sturdy storage tote, the lid clipped firmly on but is not so hard to remove that a child couldn’t open it.
Tote has lots of room inside, and is stackable! Love that it’s see-through so you can tell at a glance what’s in it (and so the kids don’t forget what’s inside too lol)

I was stoked to try this herbal coffee alternative by Nummy Creations because I’m always looking for new hot beverages to add variety to my life during this long, cold, Canadian winter.
The roasted barley, rye and chicory adds a lovely malty flavour that really does mimic coffee quite nicely, with just a hint of that classic coffee bitterness from the dandelion extract. In flavour I would say it’s comparable to instant coffee, with a hint of ovaltine thanks to the malt.
I’m a big fan of this flavour profile, it’s just what I want on a sunny, bright winters day- and I love that I can drink it right before bed, too, without worrying about caffeine affecting my sleep.
Coffee does tend to wreak havoc on my stomach, and it’s nice to have an alternative drink that still boasts all those bold flavours with none of the traditional “downsides” of drinking coffee.
I would recommend this to anyone who is sensitive to coffee or caffeine, looking for a natural, tasty alternative, or on a “no-coffee” dietary restriction!
Will be returning to this again and again this winter for a quick cup of joy!

I’m pretty particular about peelers, and I cook a lot, so I’m very pleased this one really hit the mark!
The smooth handle has a great feel in the hand and is easy to grip, at the top there’s a little potato “eye” remover, and the blade itself is nice and sharp and peels very smoothly.
I used this on sweet potato which has a pretty firm peel, and it came right up. My only quibble is that the blade flicked some peel onto the potato as I was peeling.
I also love that the handle is made of 90% recycled material, it’s little details like that that are an added bonus. The grey colour is really chic, I love the green as well.
It also comes with a plastic blade cover for when it’s stored so you don’t slice yourself on that lovely sharp blade! Well done, Paderno!

Got to work replacing some old cracked and crazed caulking around the bathtub today, this DAP Alex plus went into the crack smoothly, was easy to wipe away when I made a boo-boo, and will hopefully provide the watertight seal I need, since the previous caulking allowed quite a bit of nasty gunge in behind it. I liked how the nozzle was marked for cutting how wide of a bead you wanted to dispense, and was easy to use, even for a relative newbie like me. Caulking is smooth and clean, and after 12 hours curing it should be good for me to hop in the shower today to test it out!

Received this product free in exchange for my honest review,
And I can honestly say, so far so good!
It’s clinically proven to reduce ear infections and respiratory infections, and it’s already making a difference in the severity of the phlegmy cough my daughter has been nursing for weeks.
My kids both enjoy the flavour and make absolutely no fuss (in face are quite eager) when they take it each morning. If we can make it to Christmas without any new illnesses I will be a convert for life!
Love the natural/minimal ingredients too! Great job, Helixia!

This is a great product to have on hand when your nose starts feeling that telltale tickle and congestion that means a cold or flu has come to call! I’m definitely keeping this one on hand for the upcoming flu season, I love that it forms a protective barrier in your nose so I can start using it as soon as anyone around me gets sick to hopefully prevent it from coming to me! -

Excited to try these Band-aid Pro-heal bandaids on my next blister! I’m a huge fan of hydrocolloid patches for acne being and I feel like these will be wonderful at hydrating and soothing any cuts or scrapes underneath.
Not to mention, Band-aid is the brand I’ve always come to trust when it comes to keeping my wounds clean and most importantly, staying ON, which is where the waterproof function of these bandaids is great! I was gifted these in exchange for my honest review!

I was gifted this product for free in exchange for my honest review. I noticed I had some whiteheads and redness the night before a wedding, so I put one these over all three before bed, and when I woke up, the redness was completely gone! I love that the patches are large enough to put over more than one blemish. They are so soft and almost invisible, my partner didn’t even notice I was wearing one. I’d definitely use these on some of my post-acne blemishes on my back to see how they fade those marks.

I can’t eat sweet or fried foods like I used to, so now I boost my body’s ability to digest these treats by taking a digestive enzyme or two before I indulge. These taste great and are easy to take, since they’re chewable. Even kids could use these! I had other digestive enzymes that were so large and awful tasting I’d choke every time I tried to swallow them.
I love that they are a simple formula of just papaya enzyme, in a high strength, with no artificial colours, preservatives, sweeteners, dairy, soy, yeast and they’re vegetarian!
Definitely will come back to this formula again whenever I’m going to treat myself!

This cleansing shower cream by L’Occitane is so decadent and delightful!
On my return from a seaside vacation, my parched and chapped skin needed lots of nourishment. This formula goes on so creamy, and cleanses with a gentle, almond scent. The scent lingers afterwards, and my skin felt moisturized, supple, and fresh!
Love this product, and looking forward to the luxuriousness of using it in my daily shower.
