I have been using this serum as part of my daily hair routine for the last week. While this product includes a disclaimer that this serum should be used regularly for 6 weeks of use prior to expecting any results, I can say that immediately, noticing my hair to be less frizzy and smoother. I already can see less fallout left by my sink and in my brush, so I can only imagine what the condition of my hair will be in a handful more weeks. This product is lightly scented with some floral notes. However, there isn't much of a lingering scent once the product has been worked into the hair. The dropper makes application of this product easy and non-messy. The only drawback to this product was that the instructions on how this serum was to be applied was a little bit unclear. The directions made it sound like the serum was to be applied to dried hair, but until I googled and watched some Kerastase ad videos and hairdressers demo this product, did I understand how the serum was to be used! -

Once winter rolls around, my skin is dry and needs all the hydration help it can get. One product I've recently introduced into my routine that helps keep my skin a little more hydrated is thermal water sprays! I like to give my face a generous spritz before applying moisturizer as it helps to lock in the hydration!
I find they really help with keeping my eczema in check! Soothing and calming the skin when it's extremely inflamed. I also really love that it's not fragranced, as fragrances often can be a trigger for eczema and can cause additional drying!

During this time of year when the weather is still in transition, my skin can be unpredictable and sometimes, I get dry patches due to eczema. This serum is targeted to the 25-35 game demographic, which makes sense as this is more of a preventative maintenance product, as opposed to being geared towards anti-aging and skin repair.
I have been using this in the morning and at night, and my skin is feeling soft, smooth, and bouncy feeling, for lack of a better word. This serum is quite hydrating, and slightly more viscous than other serums I've used in the past. I appreciate that this serum comes in an opaque jar and the dropper is relatively non-messy to use. This serum is definitely a great one to use in the drier summer months!

This product is derived with 98% natural ingredients, vegan, and contains no parabens, silicones, and artificial coloring!
Before having my daughter the texture of my hair was super smooth and shiny. Postpartum due to hormones, my hair is now slightly drier, also has a slight wave and more prone to frizzy days!
This hair product can be used in 3 different ways. As a mask, a conditioner, or a leave-in. Perfect for the busy, working mom life. I tried is as a conditioner after shampoo in the shower, as well as using it as a hair mask! I love that to use this product as a mask, you only need to leave it in your hair for a minute before rinsing out because who's got time to wait all day?
My hair looked amazing this morning, after the initial use. Way less frizzy, reduced flyaways, smoother, and feels less dry…. and I woke up to a good hair day that didn’t require any fighting with my hair that morning! Perfect, because I had a 9am zoom call and was already rushing to prepare!
Please note that I received this product complimentary for the purposes of review!

I picked up the Cerave Canada Renewing SA Cream a while back when trying to find products to manage my KP!
This cream has a balm-like texture, as opposed to being thick, whipped like the regular Cerave moisturizer. I found it pretty effective with keeping the KP bumps at bay and skin hydrated! prefer using this cream as opposed to the body scrubs that offer more of a temporary solution.

I've tried a ridiculous number of different dry shampoos in my lifetime and for one reason or other, there was always something not quite right, but I think my search has ended and I have finally found the one!
This dry shampoo is perfect for dark hair. It doesn't leave this white residue that requires a lot of effort to blend into your scalp. It leaves your hair feeling light and fresh. Perfect for those busy #momlife days where didn't have time to wash your hair but have a work call over zoom and can't look a hot mess! (or you can, but I would prefer no one see that)
This dry shampoo is fragranced and you rather strong when applying it to your hair, but I was thoroughly surprised that the scent quickly dissipated and after 30 seconds, I couldn't really smell it! Perfect! Heavy fragrance is the reason why most dry shampoos are a no go for me!

I love that these balms make it feel like a smooth satiny layer has been applied to your lips. I love the unique fruits they used in these balms as opposed to the standard fruits most commonly used. They smell fruity, however, also do leave a sweet flavour on your lips. I generally prefer unflavored balms, but these are not anything overpowering or strong. These would be perfect for the chillier months -

This balm would be perfect to use prior to applying her matte lipsticks to keep your lips feeling hydrated and comfortable. In terms of value, these balms are pretty pricy, depending how frequently you reapply lip balms. I live in a super dry climate, so I go through balms pretty quick, making PMG's balm a bit spendy. I would definitely use this as a primer before applying her mattress lipsticks, but on the non-lipsticks days, I'd probably just stick to a drugstore balm. -

The constant washing and sanitizing of hands, definitely takes a toll on your skin and dries it out, so I love that this sanitizer contains hyaluronic acid.
This is the first time I have tried any products from Kalaya, but I love that their skincare products are natural as well as paraben and sulfate free.
I did a quick test of this sanitizer and appreciated that it wasn't fragranced. While it's nice sometimes for things to have a lovely scent, for a product where function is more important and additional alcohol is unnecessary!

I don't know about you, but I am lazy when it comes to drying hair! I have long and thick hair, so drying with a blow dryer is a time consuming task. Time consuming like you should grab a good book to read while blow drying long, so when I heard about these hair towels, I thought they were worth a try. Unlikely they would increase the time it took for my hair to dry!
These towels are supposed to shorten drying time, reduce frizz and breakage, and help extend the lasting power or hair color, if you dye your hair. And they are also great for all hair types!
I don't know if it really shortens the time it takes to dry my hair, but my hair is thick, heavy and long, so I didn't really expect a miracle towel that would reduce a 30 minute drying session down to less than 5 minutes. But I do really like using it to wring my hair out before blow drying because it is quite more effective at getting rid of that excess water than my bath towels and that does probably help reduce blow drying time.
I also really liked using this postpartum when I was suffering from hair loss. It was a gentle way to pat my hair dry without being so rough to cause unnecessary breakage or hair loss!
