Adhered well to skin, but wish they had size variations so I could choose small ones when I want it less noticeable. It was gentle on the skin (compared to other brands where I was left with a mark). However, I also found that this made it slightly less effective at removing the entire zit.

PADERNO Classic Non-Stick Stock Pot, 10-qt
Good size stock pot, definitely wider than my previous one! I like how the handles & lid don't get hot to touch. The lid also has an escape steam hole so that it doesn't overflow. It is nice how it doesn't stick, and is induction safe. It has a high... +
Good size stock pot, definitely wider than my previous one! I like how the handles & lid don't get hot to touch. The lid also has an escape steam hole so that it doesn't overflow. It is nice how it doesn't stick, and is induction safe. It has a high quality look & feel to it. Only item missing compared to my dutch oven is that it is not oven safe. -
Sambucol Black Elderberry Immunity + Cold and Flu Relief Gummies
I need to study more on the effectiveness of elderberries, but it made for a yummy tasting gummy! It was a bit more grainy than a nonvegan gummy, but did a pretty good job. I like how instead of gelatin, it uses tapioca starch ingredients. -... +

Lancôme Rénergie H.C.F. Triple Anti-Aging Serum

This was a nice treat after some restless nights with a new baby & postpartum. Immediately you notice that it hydrates well without being too oily. I like all the ingredients in this HFC triple dose (Hyaluronic, Vit C & Niacinamide, & Ferulic), and how they mix together only upon application. It has a subtle scent that is relaxing for my bedtime routine. However for this price tag, I'll have to use longer term to check for its smoothing appearance effectiveness. -

I was surprised to see how well it worked. Put it on some acne and after a couple hours the bump was entirely gone! You can also see it target and work on the concern area. The patch is initially clear when applied, but the area where the zit is turned opaque (rest of it stayed clear). It felt lightweight so you don't even notice it on your skin doing its magic. I also like how they don't test on animals!! -

Vida by PADERNO Elite Series 3-Layer Frying Pan, Dishwasher & Oven Safe, Stainless Steel

Pros: Love how this type of pan can go in the oven & is nontoxic. It was also a pleasant surprise that the handle stayed cool to touch on my gas stovetop. This pan had good heat distribution, thanks to its triple metal layer design. It can also go in the dishwasher - it cleaned very well and was spotless even after charring steaks on it!
Cons: If used properly (heat pan & oil prior to use) - it does NOT stick. However when cooking dumplings, it did require a bit more oil to prevent burning than I personally prefer. For high moisture foods like veggies & meat I had no concerns and used the same amount of oil as usual.
Summary: This pan is like a cast iron in terms of versatility. Depending on what you're cooking it may be slightly higher stick/oil demanding. However unlike other pans, it doesn't require maintenance or have residue buildup concerns. So far I've cooked steak, veggies, pasta, fish, & curry in this pan, and the sticking concerns aren't as bad as I thought it would be. Vida by Paderno beat my expectations!

With my knee surgery brace I can’t easily shave nor get my leg wet. With this free gift I can have smooth skin everywhere this summer! This electric shaver is used dry, doesn’t nick the skin for those delicate areas, and was really quick to do areas like my leg! It also comes with an led light to see better for those hard to reach areas, as well as an attachment trimmer. I usually bad razor burn, but this device solves all of that! I love how I can trim dry too for those quick touch ups. -
