I was so excited to receive the Paderno Maple Hardwood Roast Cutting Board 12-in x 18-in. It is such a beautiful and sturdy cutting board. I have never had a wood cutting board before so be forewarned you need to treat them with mineral oil BEFORE using. So I quickly purchased the Paderno Mineral Oil to seal my board before use. I loved the look of the maple wood and how you can use both sides. The grooved side it great for cutting juicer items like melons as the liquid collects in the grooves instead of dripping onto the counter. Makes for much easier cleanup. The flat side is wonderful for larger items like chopping nuts or chocolate for cookies. There are some tips for keeping the board lasting a long time, like not soaking the board in water and drying it vertically not horizontally. Also you have to keep treating it with Paderno mineral old, to keep it looking beautiful. I will keep this board for produce and basic chopping of cooked products but I wouldn’t recommend using it for raw meats. -

Recently tried Bai Antioxidant Infusion Ipanema Pomegranate flavour. It has only 10 calories and 1 gram of sugar. This is a very tasty and refreshing alternative to water or a sports drink. It has significantly less sugar than juice but packs a lot of natural fruit flavour in each bottle. The pomegranate flavour was very tasty and tart. A very thirst quenching and delicious beverage during my workout. Keeps me hydrated and cool while doing my cardio. It also contains 65mg of caffeine which gives a nice boost after an exhausting workout. -

I was so excited to try Chapman’s Super Premium Plus Cookie Jar Ice cream. I love all Chapman’s products as they are a wonderful Canadian company that makes ice cream with actual dairy. Cookie Jar ice cream was perfectly creamy with a brown butter flavoured ice cream base and lots of cookie pieces and cookie dough mixed in. It was a flavour explosion in my mouth. From oatmeal cookie crumble to caramel cookie bits to chocolate chip cookie dough pieces to chocolate cookie chunks. Every bite was delicious and different than the previous bite. My only complaint was that I finished half the container in one sitting. I obviously needed to do a good amount of research before I reviewed the ice cream. I love ice cream and the Chapman’s line of products is better than any premium ice cream I have tried either in store or in the grocery store. I am very excited to try out all the other flavours offered in this line. Such a delicious and cooling treat on a hot summer day. Keep up the great work Chapman’s. -

Recently had the opportunity to try Aveeno® Kids Sensitive Skin Face & Body Gel Cream. As my child and I have very dry and sensitive skin, this body gel cream was a blessing. The long, cold and dry Canadian winters are so harsh on our skin. I loved that this body gel cream wasn't greasy and was quickly absorbed into my skin when applied. I really loved the mild scent as it was very subtle. The Aveeno® Kids Sensitive Skin Face & Body Gel Cream is really helping my families dry and sensitive skin as we transition from winter to spring. -

Me and my child suffer from sensitive and dry skin especially during the long Canadian winters. The Aveeno Kids Sensitive Skin & Face Body Wash was so gentle on our skin, it doesn't lather at all but does a wonderful job of cleaning the skin. Absolutely love the pump bottle, it is so easy to dispense the right amount of body wash when needed. This would be really handy for parents of little kids, as the parent could dispense the body wash with one hand. Loved that the Aveeno Kids Sensitive Skin & Face Body Wash had a light scent and kept my skin so moisturized. It didn't have that dry or tight feeling after showering and is perfect for the dry and cold winter months. -

Recently had the opportunity to try Colgate Total Clean Mint Toothpaste Repair Reverse Refresh. I really liked the stand up toothpaste tube and flip top cap. It made storing and dispensing the toothpaste very easy. The Colgate toothpaste had a nice fresh minty taste and left my mouth and breathe feeling fresh. The only negative would be that this toothpaste creates a lot of foam when brushing and I can’t really tolerate that. I can only use no foam toothpaste like the ones that contain baking soda. -

I recently tried the Clarins Double Serum in the trial plastic packages. I really loved how well the serum absorbed into my skin. I used it every night for a week so far and my skin in soft, hydrated and radiant. It makes my skin feel fantastic. The trial packages are a little hard to use and actually get the product out of . I think it would be much better in a jar with a pump or a dropper. Excited to keep using and see the changes in my skin, especially as we head to the dryer and colder seasons of fall and winter. Only negative so far is the price as it’s not an inexpensive serum. -

Recently had the opportunity to try Shu Uemura Ultime Sublime Beauty Cleansing Oil. I have never used a cleansing oil before but as I have dry skin I was excited to try this product out. A few drops of the oil from the bottle and gently massage into skin. Then add a little bit of water to emulsify and gently rinse off with water. I found that the cleansing oil did a really good job of removing my waterproof mascara and waterproof eyeliner. It left my face feeling soft and hydrated as opposed to dry and tight. The Shu Uemura Ultime Cleansing oil had a nice scent which wasn’t too strong and was easy to apply and use every night. A great product especially in the colder and drier months of winter. The only negative would be the steep price tag associated with this product. -

Recently had the chance to try out the Finishing Touch FlawlessTM Cleanse facial cleanser and massager. I have never used a product like this before so I was very curious to see if it worked and how well it worked. It has four levels, low and high, facial cleanse mode and massage mode. The silicone head was very soft and gentle on my sensitive skin. It was cordless and waterproof so enjoyed that I could use it to wash my face in the shower to save time. It took a little getting used to, the vibrations and how to move it across my face. I was very surprised with how gentle the low and high settings were as I was expecting more motion, kind of like my electric toothbrush LOL.
I have only used it for a few days but I really like how it works and how it makes my skin look after. Tip: don’t press to hard and I try to use an upward motion with it.
I had a tension headed the other day and really love the high and low massage settings. Just placed it on my temples and enjoyed how it made my headache melt away. Will definitely keep using and excited to see if it helps with collagen production and brightening my complexion. Who wouldn’t want that!!
It was very gentle and did a really good job of cleaning my face and using my face wash effectively. I really loved how soft my face felt after use and

My daughter tried out the Batiste Light Scent Green Tea & Chamomile Dry Shampoo as I have really short hair and don’t use a dry shampoo. This is the first dry shampoo that my daughter really loved and she has tried quite a few out. The Batiste Dry Shampoo didn’t dry out her scalp, it left her hair feeling clean and fresh and it even added some volume to her hair. It took away the greasy look after working out or having to wear a hat for work. She loved the fresh and light scent and that there was no white residue left on her hair after using. A really wonderful dry shampoo and her new favourite! -
