The L’Occitane Shea Butter Hand Balm has been a lifesaver this winter. It’s rich and nourishing without feeling greasy, and a little goes a long way. My hands go through a lot at work, and this has kept them soft and comfortable despite the constant wear and tear. It’s earned a permanent spot in my work bag—though at this point, it feels like a shared item since my coworker has gotten in the habit of borrowing it too.

Thank you to Butterly and PADERNO for gifting me the Vida by PADERNO Nylon Skimmer! This kitchen tool has been a fantastic addition to my cooking routine. It’s ideal for skimming soups, scooping dumplings, removing fried foods from oil without excess grease, or even scooping out food while avoiding the sauce for picky toddlers.
What makes this skimmer stand out is its durable nylon design—it’s gentle on non-stick cookware yet strong enough for heavy-duty tasks. The handle is comfortable to grip, even during longer cooking sessions, and it’s easy to clean, which is always a win in my book.
If you’re looking for a versatile and reliable skimmer for your kitchen, this one is a great choice!

Thank you @thisisbutterly and @dapcanada for your easy to use Dry Wall Repair Kit.
I am actually quite familiar with Dap Drydex Dry Time Indicator Spackling Kit, I’ve used it in the past with great success and this was no exception.
Renovating a home can feel like a game of whack-a-mole—every big project seems to spawn five smaller ones. That’s where the Dap Drydex Dry Time Indicator Spackling Kit has made those small projects a breeze.
I recently tackled two issues: filling a hole in my washroom wall and patching up old curtain rod holes after realizing I’d placed them too close in. The dry time indicator feature made it super easy to know when the spackle was ready to sand and paint, so I wasn’t left guessing. The kit was straightforward to use, and the results were smooth and seamless.
If you’re dealing with little fixes around the home, this kit is it. It’s taken a lot of the stress out of patching and has saved me time on multiple occasions. It comes with the iconic pink mud (which dries down white), a patch for holes, a mudding knife and sandpaper. Everything you need to start your projects!

We absolutely love the Noma Neon Santa with Bell Motion! We placed it outside our house, and it’s been a hit with everyone who walks by, but especially my son. Every day, he gets so excited to say hi to Santa, and seeing his face light up just brings me so much joy. The colors are vibrant, and the motion adds such a festive touch—it really feels like Santa is waving back! It’s sturdy and holds up well outside, even in less-than-ideal weather. Highly recommend this for anyone looking to add some holiday magic in or outside their home! -

Big thanks to Butterly and @Nexcare for sending me the Nexcare Thin & Transparent Acne Patches! These have quickly become a staple in my skincare routine. I personally love going to bed with them—they’re so thin, I forget they’re even on. Plus, I’ve had no worries about them falling off or mysteriously disappearing in the night. They stay put for the full 8 hours, doing all the hard work while I sleep.
The hydrocolloid material absorbs oil and pus. Just apply and let it handle those stubborn blemishes.

The Golden Hour Brightening Vitamin C Serum from Birch Babe aims to do it all—brighten, soothe, boost collagen, and fade dark spots while restoring your skin’s elasticity. It’s packed with heavy hitters like Vitamin C, Ferulic Acid, Niacinamide, and Peptide Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 (AKA “Nature’s Botox”). The promise? A healthier, firmer, and more radiant complexion. And for anyone with sun damage, this serum tackles it head-on with its antioxidant blend, including Buriti Oil.
While the lavender fragrance is noticeable, it might be more of a personal preference. If you enjoy that scent, it could add a nice calming touch to your routine, but for those sensitive to stronger fragrances, it’s something to keep in mind.

I was gifted the L'Occitane Almond Milk Concentrate and it’s a true indulgence for the skin, blending luxurious texture with potent, skin-loving ingredients. From the very first use, the rich, velvety formula envelops your skin in a deeply hydrating embrace, leaving it feeling soft, supple, and utterly pampered. Infused with almond milk and oil, this cream goes beyond basic hydration, offering up to 48 hours of moisture while working to smooth and firm the skin.
What sets this product apart is the sensorial experience it delivers. The texture is light yet decadent, melting effortlessly into the skin without leaving a greasy residue. The subtle, delicate scent of almond lingers just enough to enhance the experience without being overpowering—a signature of L'Occitane’s refined approach to fragrance.
The product’s long-lasting hydration and firming effects make it ideal for those looking to address dryness or improve the skin’s texture. With consistent use, I noticed my skin not only felt softer but looked visibly firmer and more toned.
As for the packaging, the sleek glass jar is a reflection of the product’s luxury. The wide opening ensures you can easily scoop out the perfect amount of product and access every last drop, avoiding any waste. There’s a tactile elegance in the way the jar feels in your hand—substantial and well-crafted, making it a beautiful addition to your skincare collection.
For anyone seeking a body cream that nourishes deeply while delivering a sensuous, pampering experience, the L'Occitane Almond Milk Concentrate is the perfect treat. It’s a blend of luxury and efficacy that elevates your daily routine into something truly indulgent.
