@thisisbutterly sent me the PADERNO Non-Stick Champagne Frypan available at Canadian tire to test and provide my thoughts. I find that most of my frying pans lose their non stick feature quickly so was happy to receive this pan.
The frypan was light making it easy to lift and has a silicone grip which is cool to the touch. I also like the champagne colour of the metal coating.
The best test is frying an egg without any sort of fat or oil. I used a gas stove and let the pan heat up slowing to extend the life of non-stick benefits. The pan worked well and noticed there was optimal heat distribution. I appreciate that this pan has a PFOA-free non-stick which helps to prevent food from sticking to the surface. This frypan is made with a heavy-gauge aluminum body making it durable as well.
This pan is also safe for all stovetop and oven safe up to 400°F although I did not test this pan in the oven. I would definitely purchase PADERNO kitchen products in the future.

@thisisbutterly made my day when they sent me the new Lancôme Rénergie H.C.F. Triple Serum which is a triple-dose serum of Hyaluronic Acid, C + Niacinamide Vitamins and Ferulic Acid.
I’ve never heard of ferulic acid but after some research saw the main benefit is reducing inflammation which can lead to breakouts. In turn, it can help reduce the appearance of discolouration from acne and prevent pimples.
Hyaluronic acid serum can improve overall skin flexibility and elasticity while vitamin C and niacinamide can help brighten skin tone by reducing areas of hyperpigmentation while reducing the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and other signs of skin aging. It can also shrink the appearance of pores which is something my face could use some help with.
After using this serum consistently, I noticed that my skin was brighter and my complexion was more smooth. My pores were also refined or appeared smaller and overall redness was visibly reduced. As for fine lines, I currently don’t have too many aside from my eye ear when I smile but noticed they are slightly less defined or noticeable. I enjoyed using this serum and would recommend to others. #lancomehcftripleserum

NOMA Advanced Custom Replacement Bulbs C9 LED 25 Warm White
I found that these LED warm white bulb emit a good amount of light and I also appreciate that these are shatterproof and have a classic look and feel. I would recommend these to others as they come with a 2 year guarantee.

NOMA Advanced Custom Lights C9 LED 100
Not sure that I did my math right but this 99 metre Stringer light was way to big for my outdoor space. It would be optimal if this could be broken into 15-20 foot pieces so you can customize to what you need.

NOMA Advanced Custom Bulk Wire 25'
This worked well and is a good size for a large area that you need to get to. The quality is good and it works how it should. It has a sturdy male plug and does feel like if will easily break

NOMA Advanced Custom Weather Seal 25
I would say that this package should come in bigger packs for when you have more feet to cover. Also I would think that these should come included and already installed on the string lights since they normally outside during winter.

@thisisbutterly send me the #complimentary Aveeno Calm + Restore nourishing oat cleanser refill pouch for a honest review. This particular Aveeno line is one I am already familiar with and use in my everyday skincare routine like the moisturizer, itch relict balm, and body wash. The calm + restore collection cleanses and hydrates skin while helping to preserve and strengthen your skin’s moisture barrier. I also appreciate that this line is dermatologist-recommended and tested on sensitive skin without use of any fragrances, parabens and sulfates.
I was sent the Aveeno refill pouch that has 473 ml which is 9ml more than two normal bottles. Although I didn’t get a chance to use this product, I appreciate Aveeno’s push to be environmentally conscious by offering this bulk option which saves 80% in plastic used compared to the 232ml bottle. The pouch also uses 30% post-consumer recycled plastic. The cap on the pouch looks user friendly and convenient. I will definitely purchase this cleanser again in the future and will look at buying the refill pouch vs the standard bottle to also do my small part to reduce plastic waste.
