I don't have fungi (at least I think I don't) but one day I had very itchy feet and nothing was stopping it. I was sent this to try and thought why not. After getting over the very intense medicinal smell, I lathered it on and quickly washed it off. The itching stopped and hasn't come back; the only side-effect I felt was a slight tingling on the soles of my feet. Even though I only used it the one time, I thought it was pretty effective. -

This antiperspirant/deodorant does what it claims to do. Keeps you feeling dry and fresh. However, the scent is a little too sweet and strong, and may make some feel a bit lightheaded if sensitive. Another concern is the packaging. There is a very high top to it, compared to the men's packaging... and with our planet in a climate crisis, less plastic could have been used without sacrificing aesthetics.
Otherwise, if you're not fainthearted (or faint-nostriled) when it comes to scents, this may be your new fave heavy-duty antiperspirant/deodorant.

The hallmark of a good antiperspirant/deodorant is that it should do what it says it will do, and with the least amount of fuss possible. The good news is that this WILL keep your armpits from being sweaty and smelling gross... the bad news is that the scent/perfume used is way too concentrated to not be dizzyingly distracting.
I'm not sure I would recommend, but if you're the type of chap who uses their deodorant/antisperspirant as a stand-in for scents/colognes... then... this may be for you?

When I have dry winter hands, it takes two applications and one day for the dry skin to completely go away for weeks. This is unscented, but the natural ingredients in it still has a very soft pleasant smell. Aveeno lotion always lasts me a very long time, because it's so effective. I will 100% reach for Aveeno again. -
Aveeno® Daily Moisturizing Body Wash Eco Friendly Refill Pouch

I'm a huge fan of the Aveeno baby line, but now it seems that I must switch to their general/adult line as well. I really enjoy the soft pleasant scent, the cleansing but not drying formulation of the body wash, and most especially the fact that they have an eco-friendly refill option. YES please!! I hope they keep up looking into new ways to use more natural ingredients and streamline their packaging processes to keep their carbon footprint down. Keep it up, Aveeno! -

The cleanser is a bit gel-like, but I take it to mean (hopefully) that there is less water in the formula. It has a soft, pleasant smell to it, and my skin feels clean and soft but not dry afterwards. I have really enjoyed using the Aveeno body wash, and hope they will consider even more eco-friendly ingredients and packaging material in future. -

I admit going into this I had no idea this show existed. Disney's kids properties are commercial fests to begin with, so I was avoiding them on the whole. Upon opening the box, I'm glad that Spinmaster is taking steps to be more eco-friendly. The bag that kept the figurine from scratching the vehicle (and vice versa) was plain kraft paper. YAY!! I loved that the character included was diverse --awesome! I'm excited to see that there's a corresponding firetruck and police car with their own diverse characters (I think Bo can pass as either olive-skinned Caucasian/Hispanic??) advertised on the packaging. That's neat, too. Everyone should be represented! OK, enough of that. Now about the toy itself... this is the lightest, cheapest plastic I've ever come across. Pressing on the windows lightly, I feel it's about to give in a little bit so it's not very sturdy. I'm glad it doesn't need batteries, but the only thing it does (besides roll) is that when you put the figurine in the vehicle, the eyes of the vehicle jiggle around. It's funny and cute but that isn't something that will draw my kids' attention for long. They need something a little bit more interactive than that. As well, this toy is marketed to kids 3+, and the spoiler wing detail at the top of the vehicle is possibly an eye accident waiting to happen. I would suggest they take a page out of a certain leading brick toy company... sharp parts like the tail on a dog figurine are made out of soft, rubbery material that flexes a lot. If it makes contact with an eye, will it still irritate/cause soreness? Yes. But at least it isn't flimsy but sharp plastic that could possibly cut. -

OK, I've used this treatment, and the first change I noticed is that my skin was less dry, and smoother. The other more "peekaboo" change is that I *believe* some beginning/baby fine lines that I'm starting to have are starting to smooth out as well. I'd like to use this product more in order to ascertain this, but so far... I'm pretty impressed. It's not a sticky/greasy serum, which I appreciate and the smell is very light and pleasant. -

Thanks to Butterly and Colgate for generously sending me a product to review. I have had orthodontic treatment, and have a few white spots here and there. While it is hard to exactly see if they are being reduced at the moment (it says to give it ten days but my teeth have been known to be stubborn), but I think there is an improvement to the opaque-ness of it, but not quite shrinking in appearance, if that makes sense. However, it does leave my mouth feeling very clean... and the aftertaste is quite pleasant so those are two positives that I can assert with confidence. -
PAW Patrol Aqua Pups Zuma Transforming Lobster Vehicle with Collectible Action Figure

This is a really cute toy, and my kids were fascinated by the fact they could activate the lobster claws by opening and shutting the windshield. The propeller jet systems at the back can spin around but my kids didn't really care for that feature. It wasn't exciting enough, and I wonder if having it "click" while it turns might make it more of a draw, even if parental ears might differ.
Even better -- it needs no batteries, and HAS WHEELS. I don't know if it's just my kids, but everything is 200% better if you can wheel a toy around, no question about it. This happily ticks all those boxes! Interestingly though, my kids weren't too gripped by the toy, but perhaps that's because they aren't die-hard fans of Paw Patrol. Still a really decent toy, and gifted to a little girl who absolutely adores Paw Patrol. She's having a blast, I hear.
