I love trying new and unique dishes, so I was pretty excited to try Purgrains Thai Garlic Chilli ancient grains.
This side dish is made with white and red quinoa, brown rice and farro paired with ginger, chilli pepper and lemongrass for flavour. Each pouch contains 9g of protein and and 6g of fiber which are two things I'm always trying to boost in my diet.
The sweet and spicy flavours were a great combination and the garlic wasn't overpowering. The amount of spice used was perfect, and although I found it to be a bit sweeter than expected it would pair nicely alongside other foods or even in a stir fry.
Between the flavour, texture and how easy it was to prepare (90 seconds in the microwave) this is something I'll be keeping on hand for quick meals on busy days.

This Paw Patrol Rescue Knights Marshall Transforming vehicle has a simplified design and is easy to transform by the press of a button. The ladder pops up and Marshall is able to save the day with the "water" that comes from his truck.
My son loves playing with this toy. It's easy to handle, is the perfect size for his little hands and makes pretend play fun. He loves that the ladder pops up and it's easy to lock back into place. I personally love that the "water" piece doesn't launch out of the truck as that's one less piece that can go missing.
My son has had hours of play with this toy already, and I'm sure there will be many more to come!

I have a 3 year old who loves Paw Patrol so we were both really excited to be selected to recieve SpinMaster Chase Remote Control Motorcycle thanks to FamilyRated.
The motorcycle itself is a great size, it's not too heavy and easy to carry around. As for the remote it's very simple to use and fits perfectly into little hands. The controls have a simplified design as one toggle drives forwards and backwards, and the other turns left or right. There is a slight delay between the controller and motorcycle while turning but overall fantastic as a first RC toy.
This vehicle takes quite a few batteries as it needs 4 AA for the motorcycle and 2 AAA for the remote but the actual play time you get out it is well worth it. The speed is perfect for my son as it's fast (but not too fast) and works great weather you are playing inside or outdoors. I personally love that you can still drive the motorcycle up to 100 feet away as it definitely adds to the fun.
This is a fantastic toy for Paw Patrol fans and since this vehicle is based off the new movie (which my son is patiently waiting to see 😉) he was really excited to play with this!

I recieved a sample of Kraft Hazelnut Spread thanks to Chickadvisor to try out. This is not my first time trying this spread and I can honestly say it's absolutely delicious.
The ingredients are similar to other leading brands with the exception of using sunflower oil (instead of palm oil) and the addition of cocoa butter. I feel like the chocolate is more dominant than the hazelnut but both flavours compliment eachother nicely. This spread has a great consistency, easy to spread or use in your favourite recipies and is definitely big on flavour!
I love the fact that they now have a variety of hazelnut spreads to choose from including original, crunchy and 45% less sugar. I'll definitely be purchasing this in the future.

I haven't had a McDonald's coffee in ages so I was really not sure what to expect when I recieved a package of their McCafé® Premium Roast Ground Coffee. I'm a huge coffee drinker especially in the morning and this coffee not only tasted great, but it also helped me kick-start my day.
While opening the bag to brew my first pot I noticed the wonderfully strong aroma of this 100% ethically sourced, Rainforest certified Arabica coffee. It stayed fresh in its resealable bag through to the very end.
The taste was unbelievably smooth, flavourful, and had slightly nutty notes to it. Every single cup I made consistently tasted perfect, and I would absolutely purchase this in the future.

Garnier Green Labs Brightening Serum Cream makes my skincare routine a breeze! This product is a serum, moisturizer and sunscreen all put together in one easy to use product. This product is vegan, contains no parabens, dyes or mineral oil and the bottle itself is made from 100% recycled material.
I love the light pineapple scent and the packing has a easy to use pump which disburses the perfect amount of product. It has a lightweight creamy texture which makes it very easy to apply.
I'm really impressed how quickly it absorbs into my skin without leaving any residue or tacky feeling behind. After using this product my skin looks brighter, more even, and has a beautiful looking glow. This made my skin feel soft and hydrated throughout the day and I love that it has a broad spectrum SPF30 sunscreen built in.
This is the perfect product for protecting your skin from harmful rays while improving the look of your skin.

Attitude Super leaves natural deoderant is aluminum free, made with natural ingredients, has 100% biodegradable packaging and is vegan & cruelty free.
The packaging itself is beautifully constructed from paper to help reduce single use plastic consumption. It's easy to use by pushing on the bottom so the product comes up which I really like because I find it easier to control the amount of product you use.
The scent of their Red Vine Leaves Deodorant is absolutely beautiful, it smells sweet (like berries) and it lasts the entire day without having to reapply. It did a fantastic job keeping odor at bay and felt comfortable on my skin.
This deoderant is also EWG verified and for every purchase made they plant a tree!

Degree Black and White Dry Spray Antiperspirant helps keep me feeling fresh while while protecting my clothes from unwanted stains.
This product is an aerosol spray which goes on dry to the touch and leaves absolutely no residue behind. The scent smells clean, refreshing and not overpowering. There's never any white marks left on any of my dark or black clothing and I haven't experienced any yellow stains on my whites. This antiperspirant keeps me feeling dry and smelling fresh throughout the day and it works fantastic!

I'm a little obsessed with the texture of the Night Pressed Serum. It has a thick consistency which reminds me of a creamy jello. It seems to melt into your skin when applied and doesn't leave any sticky or greasy residue behind.
My skin felt incredibly soft even after first use and each morning my skin wakes up beautifully hydrated. I personally enjoy the clean refreshing scent of this product, but if you have sensitivities to fragrance this may not be the right product for you. This unique product works as a serum and a moisturizer in one so it helps simplify my nightly skincare routine.

The packaging of the Hyaluronic Acid Serum is beautiful. I like the cool look of the blue beads in the clear serum and I've always been a fan of Neutrogenas easy to use dropper. This serum is fragrance free, paraben free and also has vitamin B5 & trehalous to help absorb and lock in moisture.
This serum absorbs quickly into your skin and the tiny blue beads easily dissolve during application. After using this, my skin feels more hydrated and looks more plump which in turn makes my fine lines and wrinkles less visible.
I am such a big fan of Neutrogena products, and this serum works wonders especially if you have dry dehydrated skin like me.
