Who knew I could be so entertained by a thermometer!! This thing is amazing!
Out of the box, it comes with a case and instruction manuals. Inside the case is the thermometer and a set of batteries. There's actually even a spot to put extra batteries, which is great if you are like me and have to search the house for fresh batteries in the middle of the night to check your kids temp.
The thermometer is so easy to use. Turn it on, set your mode to Body, Room Temp or Surface Temp, easily change between Celsius and Fahrenheit. You can even mute it so you don't wake up your sleeping sicko, and save the last temp taken to memory so you can track their progress.
I love that you don't have to touch the person with it. In fact, you only need to be about 4-6inch away to get an accurate reading. It is also great to check the temperature of a room and even the surface temp. I heated up some water and was able to get an accurate reading using the surface temp mode. I could seriously play with this thing for hours!

I thought these detangling brushes were just some made up garbage. Boy was I wrong! These things are amazing!
My daughter and I both have long hair. She has such thick almost curly hair and it gets knotted very easily. This brush glides through her hair without getting caught up. It's like magic. She is so excited that she can brush her own hair now because I know all the knots will be removed.
I on the other hand, have very thin hair and some scalp psoriasis. I love that it doesn't pull any of my hairs out, cause I really can't afford to lose any! I also love that it gently massages my scalp which helps lift some of the plaques.
This is a set of two which is perfect for us. I can have mine and my daughter has hers.

This June & Ed Rose Gold watch is absolutely stunning! Everything from the face to the links seems well crafted and just gorgeous! The face of the watch is a little bigger than the size of a toonie, and the band is about 1cm wide (1/3"). I had to take a few links out to make it fit my wrist better, which was made easier using the tool provided in the box. It also comes with a 6-month warranty from the manufacturer, which is great!
I can't wait to show off this beautiful piece to all my friends.

These speakers are so cool and my kids just absolutely love them! I've played with water speakers in the past, and wasn't overly impressed as they leaked, didn't sound very good, and just overall weren't great. These SoundSOUL speakers totally exceeded my expectations.
First thing out of the box I was surprised that they were sealed with the water already in them. This is great because you can't overfill them or end up using water that will leave a film on the inside. The front of the dancing water portion has a magnified look to it, making it easier and more impressive to watch the dancing waters.
Connecting the speakers was easy. In the box there are two USB cables. One connects the two speakers together, the other is to charge the rechargeable batteries. Buttons are on the front to turn on/off the speakers, change the track and the volume. Once the speakers are on, it will verbally tell you it is ready to pair. Then go into your phone or tablet and select the speakers in your bluetooth connections list. Mine came up as "8888" for some reason.
The sound quality is really good, considering how small the actually speakers are. My kids love turning off the room lights and having dance parties with these speakers on. They are really terrific!

Oh boy, do I love this purse! Everything about it is just so much better than my very expensive but completely useless Rebecca Minkoff purse.
The ostrich texture on the outside is gorgeous! I ordered the grey bag and it is perfect for fall. The bag has 3 main compartments. 2 that zip closed and one that snaps closed. I use the one zip pocket for makeup and other items that I don't want falling out by mistake. The other zip pocket tends to be left open as it has a small pocket for my phone.
This purse really holds a lot and makes it so much easier to be organized with the different compartments. I just love it! I will definitely be ordering other colours as well.

Canon Pixma Pro-100 Photo Inkjet Printer

This printer is amazing! It prints the most beautiful pictures.
Pros:
- Prints rather quickly. I can bring a full sheet 8x10 in less than a minute.
- Can print up to 13x19. I use this for printing custom 12x12 scrapbook pages that I have designed myself. The colours are amazing
- Wifi connectivity. This was super easy to connect to our wifi using the WPS button. I can now sit on the couch with my laptop and print my pictures, without having to sit in the office.
- Ink cartridges last a long time. The cartridges this printer came with lasted through well over 100 4x6s, 20 8x10s, and 24 12x12 pages. I also haven't had any problems with the print heads getting clogged or dirty.
Cons:
- This thing is massive! It is very heavy and takes up a large portion of my desk space, however it folds up nice when not in use, so you can still use the space in front of the printer
- The colour accuracy was a little off from what I was used to. I found my reds were coming out a bit orange. Re-edited my photos and it came out perfect.
Overall, I am super happy with this purchase. It's fantastic having a good quality photo printer at home to review photo edits before giving to a client, or when you are printing them for personal use. It's nice to be able to go back and make a small change and reprint it.

These brushes rival the quality of my much more expensive Sephora brand ones for a quarter of the price. The kit comes with 12 different brushes ranging in stiffness, handle length and and use, as well as one beauty sponge and a carrying bag.
I was most excited to try the kabuki brush, as I've had my eye on one for a while but didn't want to spend upwards on $40 on just one brush. The stubby handle makes it easy to apply my foundation precisely and the stiff but soft bristles give a perfect finish that looks like I've been air brushed. I used the other two shorter handled brushes for my contouring. Again, having the shorter handles makes for a more precise finish.
The blush brush is not too big, giving the perfect glow on the skin. It holds the makeup well.
The eyeshadow brushes are fantastic also. They hold the makeup well and blend very easily. I've always watched videos and wonder how they get such a nice blend on their eyeshadows. Turns out I just needed better brushes.
The handles on all these brushes feel very nice. The bristles look like they are held in well and should be easy to clean without worrying about wrecking them.
Finally the beauty sponge. I have had the name brand and the cheap store brand style sponges, and this one works just as good as both. I like using it to apply concealer as it gives a clean thin finish and can easily be worked into the corners around my eyes and nose.
I love this kit and can't wait to do more looks with it.

Thank god this showed up when it did! I had a complete mental block the other morning and ended up accidentally rubbing leave in conditioner all over my face instead of moisturizer. Needless to say, while my was free of split ends, it quickly felt clogged and close to breaking out. I figured it would be a good time to give this facial mask a try. I've used other clay masks before but I really liked the way this one felt and the results were great.
Putting it one, it went on very smooth, almost like a cream. It says to leave it on for 10-15 minutes, and it definitely needs that whole time to dry. It almost felt mentholated as it dried on my skin, making it feel like it was really digging into the pores.
Washing it off also was very easy. I've had clay masks that you had to scrub to get off, but this was easily washed away. It really did leave my skin soft and smooth and I could actually see some pores on my nose that had been cleaned out but hadn't closed up yet.
The only reason I docked it a point was the scent. All other reviews I've read said no scent, and the ingredients list didn't show it, but when I put it on, it had a very strong lavender oil or possibly tea tree oil scent. I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but the smell was over powering for the first few minutes it was on my face.

These lip balms are fantastic! I love the silky smooth way they glide onto my lips and they seem to last a long time.
The box I received comes with 2 vanilla bean and 2 honey lip balms. I honestly can't decide on my favourite! They are both just wonderful. Very lightly scented, and don't really seem to have any flavour when I lick my lips. After just a couple days of use, my lips feel softer and more hydrated than before.
These are great for throwing in your purse, backpack, in the car, etc. Anywhere you might be where your lips might dry out.

The Original Makeup Eraser

This thing is fricken magic! At first I was very skeptical, because it just felt like a piece of fleece. Maybe that's all it is... I don't know! All I know is it removed every little bit of my makeup without needing to use any harsh makeup removers, which cause a lot of issues on my sensitive skin.
The instructions it came with were a little unclear, so I looked up a video to see which side does which. Basically you wet the whole thing with warm water, use the side with the shorter "fleece" to remove the makeup, then flip it over to the side with the longer "fleece" and use it to exfoliate.
According to my sister, who got one a few months ago, you only need to wash it once the entire thing is dirty. I'll probably wash it at least once a week. But the instructions do say it is dryer and dryersheet friendly.
I don't know how it works, but it has quickly become essential for my makeup routine.
