BAND-AID® Pro Heal Regular Bandages

I didn't want them to get a boo-boo, in fact I was counting on getting one first... but my kids never fail to deliver in that department. A hurt toe with red dripping, and I told the wee one that it was the perfect time to try a Healing Band-aid. He was intrigued and let me wrap it around his toe. What I especially like about this is the gauze part is a decent size and there is adhesive ALL AROUND it, meaning it keeps the center dry and free of moisture from showers, etc. The band-aid also stayed on until it was time to come off. Did his boo-boo heal faster? I'm not sure... I'll have to compare with a comparable boo-boo at some other time, but there were no complaints jumping into the tub that night, and he loved peeling it off to the "magic" of no more boo-boo.
Recommend and hope they look into alternative, eco-friendly textiles to make their band-aids out of.

So this review is going to be interesting. We had planned on installing this in our in-laws' kitchen, which is being renovated. We took out the old light, and was in the middle of installing this new one when we realised that ants and mice had made their homes in the ceiling above. This light has yet to officially grace their home, so this review will focus on the looks. We love how modern and sleek the light looks, and with four bulbs, you have plenty of light to appreciate the space you install this light fixture in. We also love how there are varying lengths of rods, which you can choose to use or not, thereby customising the look of this light. Also... bored of your current look? Swap in/out the rods and you've given your area a mini makeover!
We look forward to actually using this light once the issues in our ceiling have been fully addressed.

YSL LOVESHINE LIPSTICK

44 offers wonderful hydration and shine, and I love that you can either go really subtle with the colour, or build it up (you really have to layer it though, and that is not for me, as it feels too heavy!)... I like that there are over a dozen different shades to choose from, and I am eyeing one of the cooler, darker berry shades. The packaging is also so gorgeous and elegant! I see no downsides to getting yourself a stick of YSL LOVESHINE. Glam up your lips and the contents of your bag! -

I love how tiny and light these displays are, and the fact that the figurines are detailed, quality, and so squishable to look at and play with. I do think that instead of the molded plastic tray that you have to fish the figures out of in order to do a bit of light (and unnecessary) "assembly", they could have already come "assembled" in the display case, and that material could instead be used to create a sturdier back piece for the display, instead of the stiff cardboard that they use. All in all, adorable and the perfect way to remember or act out one's favourite moments in the Wizarding World. -

This was given to me to review, but in Eastern Canada where winter likes to linger... the thought of an iced tea sent chills up and down my spine. I'm happy to report that this is just as flavourful piping hot, with the hazelnut flavouring not being too overwhelming, and the java being strong enough but smooth enough to perk one up on a snowy spring day. -

Tastiness is important. When you have sick kids whose sense of pickiness is in no way affected or hampered by the sickness they are currently fighting off, it helps to not have to cajole them to take their medicine. Days after getting well, they ask for it, too... because of the yummy taste (the answer is no, of course...)
Kids Tylenol combined with a good snuggle, some toddler-friendly tea, and rest always help them get through the latest germ fest they came home with from school/playgroup.

There are a lot of steps, but this was super easy to install and assemble. (Trust us, we took down a fan from the 70s, and it required a lot more effort than it did putting this fan up!)
We loved how quiet it was, the many modes of lighting (need blue, white, or warm light? you got it!) and lots of varying fan speeds. The design is sleek, and we are already looking into getting more of these to upgrade all the other fans in the other three rooms in the house. Summer, I am going to be ready for you this year!

This product had a good consistency that made for easy application. We used it to refresh the bathroom grout, in hopes that the weather-proof-ness of it will have it stick and be impervious to molding for a long, long time. After 30 minutes, the caulking was slightly sticky but not runny. It was also hard to remove off of fingers (accidental application) unlike normal caulking, which we think bodes well for it hanging onto dear life on the surfaces you want it to stay on. Hubby also mentioned he didn't notice any toxic fumes/smell like he does with some other caulking types/brands, so that is an extra positive in our books.

Does what it needs to do, and doesn't leave my skin feeling dry afterwards. I don't NEED to put lotion afterwards, and my skin will be just fine. I would recommend this for anyone who is looking (and always uses) a facial cleanser. I do not, but if I needed to start using one, I would reach for this immediately. This has no scent! -
Aveeno® Daily Moisturizing Face Cream, Fragrance Free

I apply this all over my face, a bit of my neck and the decolettage as well. It smooths and softens my skin, and I find that it also seems to lessen the slight wrinkles that are starting to peek out now that I'm in my mid-30s. Maybe well-moisturised skin is plumper? However it works, it works... and I appreciate that. -
