@thisisbutterly send me the #complimentary Aveeno Calm + Restore nourishing oat cleanser 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.
The cleanser is one product I’ve been wanting to try out for a while now and here are my thought. The texture is gel like and has a natural neutral scent. The cleanser does lather and washes off easily. I felt that my face felt clean and refreshed after using this cleanser. I didn’t have any redness or dryness and it did not cause any irritation. I look forward to adding another Aveeno calm+ restore product into my skincare routine.

Benzagel After Care Moisturizing Lotion
The Benzagel After Care Moisturizer was very lightweight while restoring my skins own lipids. This moisturizer had some white cast but overall it did a great job to keep my face fresh and moisturized. It also did not irritate my skin at all.

@thisisbutterly sent me #dapcanada ALEX ULTRA Advanced Latex Sealant for free to try out during one of my DIY projects. I recently painted my bathroom and I used this to caulk my baseboards and windows.
I found it easy to use and it provided a clean durable water protective seal on my windows. I was able to paint it after 15 minutes like advertised and found the odour to be mild with the window open.
I also appreciate the added Anti-Shrink technology which ensure you will fill all the gaps without having to retry. I would look at purchasing this again in the future for other projects.
Pro tip: to prevent the left over sealant from drying out, use a wire nut and some electrical tap to seal the open end. #dapcanada #alexultra #diywithdap

@thisisbutterly gave me the chance to try the Zambia Bing Cherry drink for my honest review.
I wouldn’t say that my first choice in beverage flavours would be a cherry as they normally taste artificial but I was willing to give this one a try and it didn’t disappoint. It impressed me with its bold flavour, only 10 calories with 1g of sugar, and no artificial sweeteners. For those trying to limit sugar as much as possible, this would be a good alternative while still delivering a great taste.

I received the #complimentary Paderno 3.5cup compact food chopper from @thisisbutterly and @canadiantire for my honest review. I was thrilled to receive this since I love products that make my food prep quicker and more convenient. I also want to start incorporating more fruits and vegetables into my meals.
Firstly, the machine is very sleek with a black stainless steel finish and designed to be compact but powerful with a 400 watt motor. I love that it takes up very little room on your counter top. It comes with a manual and clear to understand instructions. This chopper can chop, mix or puree. The chopper has two speed settings with a pulse setting to allow for corse depending how chopped up you want your vegetables.
This chopper takes some time to get used to because it has a lot of power. The first few times I used this, the machine chopped my veggies into tiny pieces which I added to my pasta salad and egg omelette. I found this chopper very simple to use, and easy to clean as well . This chopper would also be convenient for those with hand mobility concerns as it does most of the work for you.
My only negative about this product is that I found the image on the package a little misleading as the picture shows fairly larger pieces of veggies in the machine but when I tried to do same, the veggies either got caught under the blade or above it and would not chop. I then had to remove the pieces and chop them smaller before trying again. However, once I did make this change, the chopper worked perfectly. I would recommend this product to my friends and family and can’t wait to use this chopper for a variety of recipes.

@thisisbutterly sent me the new Van Houtte® Brew Over Ice K-Cup® in flavour Caramel Vanilla to try out for a honest review.
I have a k-cup compatible coffee maker but do not have the cold brew option on my machine so this made slightly more difficult to follow the directions exactly. Although I found this coffee to be full bodied, I didn’t notice the caramel vanilla flavour as much as I wanted to and was expecting it to be more sweet without adding sugar. With added sugar and milk, I did enjoy this drink but did not have the wow factor I look for to buy the product again in the future.

@batistecanada and @thisisbutterly sent me the Batiste Overnight Deep Cleanse Dry Shampoo to try out and share my thoughts.
Since I try not to wash my hair everyday as Ive been experiencing hair loss for the last year, I like to have options to keep my hair looking fresh between washes. I use dry shampoo once in a while but have never heard of a dry shampoo made specifically to be applied overnight. Im not sure how I feel about this but I thought I would give it a go.
Although I liked the scent of this dry shampoo which included veveter, jasmine and rose; I would prefer to try more all natural products for keeping my scalp oil free. However, I feel like it did a decent job of making my hair look more refreshed between washes. #hairgoals #hairspo #beautyfaves

I had the opportunity to sample the Chapman’s super premium plus ice cream in flavour Cookie Jar. I was expecting a vanilla based ice cream but this surprised me with a Brown butter flavoured ice cream and caramel cookie bits. I felt these flavours was a little overwhelming and took away from the add ins like the oatmeal cookie crumble, chocolate cookie chunks and cookie dough pieces. I would have enjoyed this flavour more if there was more cookie dough pieces and liked the oatmeal cookie crumble. I appreciate that Chapman’s is made with real cream, is made with 100% Canadian dairy and their packaging is certified to the Sustainable Forestry Initiative
Unfortunately, I did not think this product tasted premium and I would not purchase it again as it was too sweet for my taste and the flavours were not balanced. #TryChapmansCanada
