Teapigs Cleanse tea is an organic green tea beautifully blended with coconut, lemongrass, ginger and dandelion root which gives it a light and refreshing taste.
The packaging is made with 100% plant based material and I'm a big fan of companies doing their part to help our environment. I knew at first glance the outer cardboard package is recyclable, and learned the silk-like tea temple is actually made from plant starch. As for the plastic inner bag keeping my tea fresh - it's not plastic at all. Instead it's made with wood pulp which makes it compostable.
The tea itself tastes fantastic. While taking my first sip I noticed the coconut right away, followed by the tart lemongrass. With every freshly brewed tea I feel like a different flavour jumps out at me which makes each cup so unique. I'm the type to leave their teabag in while drinking and found the strength perfect from beginning to end. I really enjoy the natural sweetness and the subtle spice from the ginger as well. The medley of flavours compliment eachother wonderfully.
Does it help cleanse your system? Based on the ingredients I believe this is a great alternative to other drinks out there and will help with your digestive system over time - but that would also depend on what you regularly consume as well. Ive been using several of these ingredients listed for years to help with bloating and to just make me feel better overall so I feel the name "Cleanse" is a great description.
I loved everything about this tea and would highly recommend it.

Violet Crush intense purple shampoo for blondes is one of the best purple shampoos I have ever used!
I love the fact that it can be used on coloured AND natural blonde hair. I personally have both, so I was really impressed that it did not darken or stain my natural blonde. Instead it enhanced and lightened my natural highlights. As for the dyed portion of my hair (bleached) it did an amazing job at getting rid of the brassy/yellow tone.
Did I notice a difference after just one wash? Absolutely!! My hair was lighter, brighter, and there was no purple residue left in my hair or on my hands from washing. This shampoo improved the overall tone of my hair, while giving it a healthy looking shine and I highly recommend it.

This hair mask is amazing! I could feel it nourishing my hair in the shower and once dried, my hair looked smoother, and felt softer. This helped reduce the amount of frizz and actually made me feel better about leaving my hair down (instead of my usual quick ponytail). I loved the thick creamy texture, and the smell was light and refreshing. I'll absolutely be purchasing this product in the future! -

This cream is made with prebiotic oats, aloe and provitamin B5.
After using this, my skin felt velvety soft to the touch, and helped to lock in moisture where I needed it most. It also immediately helped ease itchiness caused by dry skin, which happens more often for me in the winter months.
I love that this lotion is scent free, non-irritating and does not leave a sticky, or greasy residue behind.
Overall I thought this product was fantastic.

This deoderant exceeded my expectations. I normally use conventional deodorant, but I actually really loved using natural Schmidt's Rose + Vanilla Deodorant Stick.
I found the rose to be the more dominant scent in this deodorant, yet I could also notice the hint of vanilla. The fragrance was light, and not overpowering.
The texture started out a bit gritty, but softened as it warmed up to my skin. It felt comfortable once absorbed, and didn't leave a cakey residue afterwards.
As for the effectiveness, this deodorant exceeded my expectations. It lasted longer than I expected and left me feeling (and smelling) fresh throughout the day.

I love using lemon while cooking meals at home, and ReaLemon has been a household staple since i was a kid.
I just tried the ReaLemon Garlic Flavour Infusions and it really brings amazing flavour to your dish!
I decided to try this out by making an oven-baked Maple Mustard Lemon Chicken recipe (found on the ReaLemon website) which tasted spectacular!!
Theres a few things I love about this product;
1) The Realemon flavour I have loved for many years has not changed and is still very distinct.
2) The garlic flavour is subtle and does not overpower your dish, which makes it great ones who just like a hint of extra flavour.
Would I buy this in the future? Yes! Im already a regular user of the original lemon juice, and found this to be much more convenient than chopping up garlic at home so I will definitely be adding this to my shopping list.
This is a great product for those who just want to add a touch of love to the meal you are making.

This moisturizer was really lightweight and had a small nozzle to make it really easy use the right amount. It spread smoothly and evenly and absorbed into my skin quite well. There was no greasy feeling after using this and it didnt leave the usual sunscreen film or shine as some similar products may leave behind. After using this product my skin felt soft and hydrated and I like that it also protects me from the sun with SPF30. #NeutrogenaBrightBoost #gotitfree -

This was actually my favourite product from this line as it made my skin feel and look so soft and supple. It had a slightly shimmery, translucent appearance with a creamy gel-like texture. I was actually surprised how quickly it absorbed into my skin without leaving any sticky or greasy feeling behind. The overall texture of my skin looked and felt much more even as it reduced the appearance of my fine lines, pores and dark spots. My skin looked bright and energized, felt extremely soft, and had a beautiful glow after using this product.

This was such a great serum! The applicator made it easy to disburse as theres a handy button on top of the lid. It was creamy with a very slight shimmer to it. I was impressed on how easily it spread and how quickly it absorbed into my skin with no irritation. There was absolutely no greasy or sticky feeling afterwards, and helped give my skin a healthy glow. This product greatly helped the overall tone and texture of my skin by smoothing out my fine lines and helped even out discoloration from previous sun damage. I am so impressed with how effective this serum is, and absolutely recommend it!
