I was gifted @seventhgeneration EasyDose Ultra Concentrated Laundry Detergent Free & Clear in exchange for my honest review.
The EasyDose technology took me a few tries to get used to, but I really liked it once I got the hang of it. Open the cap, turn the bottle upside down, give one firm squeeze and it releases the right amount of detergent for one load of laundry. Less mess and less waste.
The detergent cleaned my clothes well, even in cold water, which I prefer to use. This detergent has zero dyes, synthetic fragrances, or artificial brighteners. I have sensitive skin and prefer my detergent without dyes or perfumes. I also like that it is 99% plant based.

I was gifted Schmidt's Lavender and Sage Natural Deodorant in exchange for my honest review.
This deodorant has a lovely fresh scent of lavender that is noticeable but not overpowering. It is one of the few natural deodorants that I have tried that actually lasts the whole day without needing to reapply with normal every day activity.
The texture is similar to most natural deodorants I've used. It is a bit gritty and more creamy than solid. It was easily applied, but did leave a bit of residue on my skin and clothes. This washed out easily, unlike some other deodorants that leave a film that is hard to wash off.
I really love that this deodorant is free of aluminum, propylene glycol, parabens and pthalates. It is also certified vegan and cruelty-free.

I recieved a can of Degree MotionSense Dryspray for free in exchange for my honest review.
I have used Degree deodorants and antiperspirants for many years and have always found them to be good quality. I normally use the stick version and this was the first time I used the spray. I thought that it was easy to use, however, I did have a little trouble locking it after using it. I would have just left it unlocked, but my son likes to spray it and would have sprayed the whole can if I didn't lock it. The men's version has a much easier lock to use.
The spray did not feel wet on my armpits and did a good job of keeping odour away but did not last 48 hours as claimed, although it did last into the next day. The smell was pleasant and not overpowering and it did not leave white marks on my skin or clothes.

I received Motrin Super Strength Liquid Gels for free in exchange for my honest review.
Motrin is effective pain relief for a variety of pain, from every day aches and pains to period cramps and migraines. It also works to reduce fever.
I am one of those lucky women who not only get awful cramps during my monthly cycle, but also usually end up with a migraine. The liquid gels worked really well to not only ease my cramps, but also to help keep my migraine under control. It started working in about 20 minutes or so and by an hour my pain and discomfort was almost completely gone and the relief lasted into the evening before I had to take another dose.
I also get back, neck, shoulder and knee pain from a series of car accidents several years ago. This Motrin helps relieve those aches and pains and stiffness as well.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for fast long lasting pain relief.

I received Mott's Fruitsations + Fiber Unsweetened Tropical for free in exchange for my honest review.
As we all know, good nutrition is important to learning. Canada Dry Mott's Inc. has partnered with Breakfast Club of Canada again this year to help ensure no kid goes hungry and they are able to concentrate in school. They are donating 1 cup for every cup bought up to 500,000. This is definitely a big plus in my books.
Mott's Fruitsations + Fiber has 2 grams of fiber in every cup. It is naturally sweet and has no added sugar, artificial colours or flavours, which is something that is very important to me.
All 3 of my sons love the Tropical flavour. My oldest thinks it is just a touch on the sweet side, but the other 2 think it is perfect and I agree with them.
There is a nice balanced flavour between the pineapple, orange, banana and apples. None of the flavours overpower the others. I was really surprised that my youngest liked it because he does not like any other applesauce he has ever tried.
These cups are great as a part of your breakfast, in lunches, or as a snack. They are peanut free, so are safe to eat in school.

The Tartelette Tease Palette is a cute little palette that is perfect for throwing in your purse or overnight bag.
The colours are nice neutral colours in a mix of matte and shimmery shades that can be used to create a variety of looks from everyday to evening glam. They are pretty pigmented and blend easily, although the lighter shades were not very noticeable on my skin tone (I am very fair). The colour shows up better with primer.

Blistex Medicated Lip Ointment is the go to in my house when anyone has sore, dry lips. It is the only thing my husband will ever put on his lips and he swears by it. As the whole family uses it, we do not put the applicator directly on our lips, instead we use our finger or a q-tip to put it on.
It works really fast to heal cracked dry lips and you can feel the balm tingle a bit as it works. The results are almost instant, but you may need to keep using it for a few days to ensure they are fully healed before switching to something else to keep your lips from drying out again.

Vicks Vaporub Topical Ointment is a staple in my house. We use it to rub on our chests and backs when we catch the flu to help with congestion and stuffy nose. The menthol really helps clear the sinuses.
This can be used on children, so is great for the whole family. The menthol scent is pleasant to me and not overpowering. It can be a bit sticky at first, but does absorb after a while if you don't overdo it.
This also acts really well as a way to get rid of flies. This is a trick my firefighter husband uses and swears by. I also use it on myself and the kids rather than using regular fly spray which contains more harmful chemicals. It works pretty well on the flies.

Softlips Lip Balm has to be the best lip balm I've ever used. I have it in a variety of flavours and types and I have never had a problem with this brand.
The lip balms are very hydrating, almost instantly making chapped dry lips soft and supple again. The lip balm lasts a while before needing to be reapplied and works well when worn under a more drying lipstick to keep lips hydrated. They are also reasonably priced. I honestly don't have a bad thing to say about them.
