Huge thanks to Butterly and Paderno for sending me their 12-cup Coffee Maker! As a die-hard coffee lover, I'm thrilled to share my caffeinated review!
The moment I pressed that glorious "on" button, I knew my old coffee maker had met its match. It has a heated base that keeps my precious liquid gold warm for as long as I need. No more racing against time to gulp down my java before it becomes a cold, bitter reminder of missed opportunities. And let's not forget the detachable water reservoir, making filling up a breeze.
The Paderno Coffee Maker is as easy to navigate to caters to all your caffeinated desires with a flick of a switch. Check out these delightful features:
☕ sleek build. I love how it looks. It's not an eyesore on my kitchen counter
☕ Programmable brew strength settings: Choose between regular or bold coffee to match your mood or lack thereof.
☕ Built-in filter basket: Sayonara, wasteful disposable filters!
☕ 12-cup, non-drip carafe with an ergonomic handle: No more spills and mishaps!
☕ Small batch setting: Sometimes life calls for a mini-coffee fiesta. This feature allows you to brew 2-4 cups of perfection.
☕ Pause capability: This magical machine lets you pause and pour without turning your kitchen into a coffee disaster zone.
☕ Keep Warm setting: The Keep Warm function maintains your coffee's temperature for up to 2 hours!
☕ Removable water reservoir: Refilling has never been easier. Pop out the reservoir, fill it up, and pop it back in!
The Paderno Coffee Maker has been a total game-changer. It's given my morning Java routine the much-needed upgrade it deserves. In fact, I wasn't using my previous coffee maker all that much because I found it tedious. But now, with the Paderno Coffee Maker, I'm enjoying a delicious cup of joe every single day!

Butterly
**PR**
Once again, I'm here to share my hair removal routine, and unfortunately (or fortunatly), I still have unwanted hair. Thanks to Butterly and Nair, I had the opportunity to try out their Nair Prep & Smooth Face Hair Remover Cream in Watermelon, and I'm ready to give my honest review.
To begin with, I've been a long-time user of Nair products, so I'm familiar with their hair removal solutions and have always had great success. However, this was my first experience using one of their products specifically designed for facial hair. Now, let's dive into my review.
My Thoughts:
🔆 I was amazed at how fast this cream worked. In just 5 minutes, I found myself scrambling to wipe it off as soon as my alarm went off.
🔆 If you've never used a Nair product before, you should know that they tend to have a strong smell. However, this particular cream had a pleasant watermelon scent that significantly masked the overpowering original smell. Although it didn't completely eliminate the scent, it made a noticeable difference.
🔆 I was genuinely impressed with the end result. The hair removal process was effortless, although I did have to pluck a few stubborn hairs. Overall, it was a straightforward procedure.
🔆 While the hairs I removed from the outer parts of my face showed no signs of irritation, I did try the product on my upper lip, and it felt slightly sensitive afterward. To soothe my skin, I applied a barrier-repairing cream, and it restored my skin to its normal state without any issues.
🔆 One aspect I've always appreciated about Nair products is that they seem to slow down hair regrowth compared to shaving. I believe this is because Nair is capable of removing hair closer to the root than a razor can. The same holds true for this particular product.
Once again, I extend my gratitude to Butterly and Nair. You were one of the first hair removal brands I turned to when I started dealing with unwanted body hair, and it's delightful to see this new addition to your already reliable product line.

I have to say, the handy tool I received from Butterly and Philips has been a game-changer! As a busy mom, self-care often takes a backseat, and dealing with unwanted hair can be quite a hairy situation. That's why I'm thrilled to share my experience with the Philips Facial Hair Remover Series 5000!
Here are my thoughts:
🔆 With age, unwanted hair seems to appear out of nowhere. It's almost like a rite of passage! However, the Philips Facial Hair Remover Series 5000 has quickly become an essential part of my hair removal routine.
🔆 I absolutely adore its sleek and compact design! It's so portable that I took it with me on my recent out-of-town trip.
🔆 When you turn it on, there is a noticeable sound, but it's no louder than an electric toothbrush. In fact, that's exactly what it sounds like. So, it's not bothersome at all.
🔆 The device is incredibly easy to use. I simply move it in small circles, and it effortlessly removes the hair without any fuss. The LED light is a fantastic feature, especially since my bathroom lacks natural light.
🔆 I have experienced zero irritation, and this tool has genuinely made my life so much easier. Although I still use tweezers in certain situations, I find myself reaching for this device more often. I've even started using it on other parts of my body. For instance, just today, I noticed a missed spot on my legs after shaving, but no problem! As long as the hair is fine, this little gem handles it perfectly.
I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to Butterly and Philips for gifting me my new favourite hair-removing tool. It's truly one of those products that you can't imagine living without once you've tried it.

I am absolutely delighted to share my review of Van Houtte's Brew Over Ice K-Cup, a fantastic iced coffee option that you can conveniently brew at home! The only thing stronger than my love for skincare is my love for coffee, this product has truly won me over. Thank you, Butterly and Van Houtte for sending me this K-Cup to try out.
One of the best features of this product is its compatibility with any Keurig machine. Within moments, you can have a refreshing glass of iced coffee ready to enjoy. Simply fill your glass with ice, let the Keurig work its magic, and you're good to go!
The flavour profile of this coffee is outstanding, with a full-bodied taste that never feels diluted. In fact, I personally find it more enjoyable than iced coffee from popular chains like Tim Hortons or McDonald's (apologies to Timmies).
If you prefer your iced coffee sweetened, I’d recommend adding your desired amount of sugar on top of the ice. This way, when the hot coffee drips over, the heat helps dissolve the sugar effectively, resulting in a well-balanced and delicious drink.
With its convenience and exceptional flavour, Van Houtte's Brew Over Ice K-Cup has become my go-to beverage for tackling the summer heat, especially as I navigate a busy life with a toddler. It's the perfect drink to kickstart my day and energize me throughout the season.
Thank you once again to Butterly and Van Houtte for introducing me to this incredible iced coffee option. It's like they tapped into my soul and knew exactly what I needed! Cheers!❤️

Shoutout to @butterly and @spinmaster for introducing me to the wonders of Kinetic Sand! I must say, it saved the day during a gloomy downpour when my energetic nephews were threatening to turn the house upside down.
I couldn’t believe I had my nephews wholly mesmerized by this magical sand. It was like watching two tiny scientists discovering a whole new world. And keeping those little rascals entertained is no small feat!
The best part? This stuff is a creativity booster! They were molding castles, sculpting animals, and even attempting some avant-garde sand art (I think they called it "abstract lumpism"). And despite a few inevitable sand spills, cleanup was a breeze. A little sweep here, a little sweep there, and voilà! No sand stuck to clothes or lurking in corners to haunt me later.
The amount in one box was perfect for their joint adventure, and I couldn't help but smile as I watched them giggling and cooperating.
Rain or shine, I wholeheartedly recommend this sandy wonderland for some well-deserved tranquillity and a chance to let your imagination run wild. And hey, if you're feeling up to it, don't be afraid to jump in and join the sandy fun yourself! Who says kids get to have all the playtime joy?
SpinMaster, you've outdone yourselves with this one! Butterly, consider me a devoted fan of your Kinetic Sand extravaganza. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go dig out some sand from my hair. #WorthIt

My little dude and I are totally obsessed with the baby products that Butterly and Aveeno sent us to review!
Firstly I've trusted Aveeno for my own skincare needs, so it was a no-brainer to turn to them when my son developed some eczema spots. Aveeno cleared that right up, so I had high hopes for this coconut line.
Daily Moisturizing Wash & Shampoo Coconut Scented & Shea Butter:
🥥 the smell is like a tropical vacation in a bottle, and it's gentle on my little man's skin
🥥 I try to avoid getting it in his eyes, but when it inevitably happens (thanks, squirmy toddler!), it doesn't cause any tears or tantrums
Overall, I can't recommend these products enough. Both are PH-balanced, gentle on baby's skin, and free of parabens, phthalates, sulphates and dyes.
Plus, that sweet, sweet coconut scent with just a hint of vanilla undertone. It's like the beach and a freshly baked cookie had a baby - and that baby is my baby. I can't get enough of how delicious he smells after his bath.
Thanks, Aveeno and Butterly, for making our bath and bedtime routine even more delightful - and for sparing us any more baby tantrums!

🥥 the moisturizer is just as amazing in scent. I mean, come on - who doesn't want their baby to smell as sweet as a coconut?
🥥 It hydrates his skin without leaving any gross greasy residue, and it makes him feel as soft as a baby should feel

The Claims:
🔆 clinically-proven 24-hour odour protection
🔆 no aluminum, baking soda, parabens, talc, or dyes
🔆 packaging is recyclable and made with 100% recycled materials
🔆 non-sticky and greasy
🐇 Cruelty-free
My Thoughts:
🔆 I don't know what it is, but firstly I like the packaging. Simple and pretty to even have sitting out
🔆 sage and eucalyptus is an interesting scent but I like it, and I think the smell does evoke freshness
⭕ now, I didn't find this to be 24h odour control. And most days, I'm not particularly active. I did find this to last most of my day, so I wasn't worried about smelling bad in public but by 12hs, I did have a slight BO smell
🔆 based on my experience, I wouldn't trust this for any type of physical activity. But for every day it's fine. And one of the better natural deodorants I've used. Most I've tried didn't pass the 2hour mark

🦷 I have sensitive teeth with some toothpaste, and I’m happy to say this was great. I didn’t have any sensitivity at all
🦷 I like that this has many elements to it, making this work double-duty while keeping my smile white
🦷 I am a coffee drinker and will brush my teeth after my first cup, and my husband is happy to note that this does remove my coffee breath completely
