So very excited to have tried the Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen's Sensitive Mineral Sunscreen! I was happy that the sunscreen is SPF 50+ since I think anything below does not work well for the Canadian summers that are hotter than we realized. I have heard a lot of great things about this mineral sunscreen, and it for sure did not disappoint! What I liked the most was the fact that it was fairly thin compared to other mineral sunscreens that go on cakey and leave your skin clogged and unable to breathe. In fact, it absorbed so well into the skin that I even forgot it was a mineral sunscreen! A complete bonus that it is full spectrum (protects against UVA and UVB rays), and that it is safe to use on children and babies. Bring on the sun, because my family and I are protected! -

I love the NEUTROGENA® Hydro Boost Gel Cream! This cream is absolutely amazing, for a more than affordable price! I have been using products from the Neutrogena Hydro Boost line for quite some time, and this is among my favourite. Despite the fact that I am impartial to scents, I do prefer an fragrance-free product especially since I find that layering with other products can leave my face smelling quite strongly (and sometimes unpleasantly) -not a thing to worry with this product!
The gel texture is super light and instantly absorbs into my skin, without leaving any cakey residue or unwanted blobs of cream. My face is instantly moisturized and I find that it remains so even hours later in the day. I like the glow that my skin has after my morning care routine, especially since it looks like a healthy, sleek glow and not an awkward shine.
I recommend this product 100 times over. Two thumbs up.

I used the sample for the time asked before providing my review. I found the Aveeno® Calm + Restore Age Renewal Serum to be a light product, that gets absorbed in the skin fast, and works efficiently at keeping your skin moisturized all day. I used this product under my regular face cream, and focused in on the areas that are particular spots of need: corners of and around my mouth, forehead area. I found that it was a nice complementary product to the eye cream.
I particularly liked the fact that it was made with a retinol alternative, as I am currently breastfeeding and would like to avoid retinol if possible.
A big plus was also the fact that it was scent-free; although I do not mind scented products, I find that mixing different smells (eg serum, moisturizer, oil) can be overwhelming and unpleasant -not something to worry about with this product.
All in all, I recommend!

I used this sample for the time indicated, before doing a review.
A very effective product. I like its light texture and the fact that it leaves no residue but rather blends well into the skin -especially in an area that is very sensitive. I found my eye area around the eye to have significantly decreased in puffiness and the dark spots under my eyes diminished after only a few uses.
I was happy that this product contained a retinol-alternative since I am currently breastfeeding and I like to avoid retinol if I can.
The scent-free aspect was also a big plus since I do not particularly enjoy scented products so close to my eye.
Overall, a good, affordable option!

I very much enjoyed the Aveeno® Calm + Restore Daily Face Moisturizer Mineral SPF 30.
Although a little thicker than I expected (which makes sense given its mineral composition), I found that this moisturizer blended well in my skin, and lasted all day - I was super surprised when hours later I touched my face and my face still felt hydrated and soft.
The only downside to this was its smell, which was just a generic natural-like smell.
Overall, a good option for an all in one moisturizer and sun protection.

What an amazing tool! Moving from a manual face scrubber to this automatic, multi-mode cleanser/massager was a big upgrade! And one I definitely needed.
I was super surprised to discover that the Flawless Cleanse Facial Cleanser & Massager came with not one but 4 modes of cleaning, suitable for different needs and skin routines; very easy to use and switch between modes. As someone who has sensitive skin but who also still enjoys an exfoliating experience, I appreciate the gentle modes. My face definitely felt happy and rejuvenated after using it; I definitely think this is something I’ll incorporate in my night routine as well!
The charging stand is a bonus, as I like that it can now have its designated space on my bathroom counter, and that I’ll never have to worry about forgetting to charge it.

Believe it or not, this product came just in time for my daughter’s 4 month vaccinations! Along which also came some pain and irritability, and boy was I glad to have this on hand.
Although as with any pain medication, this is a product you hope not to have to use, but will certainly be happy to have it if needed.
The syringe was a super bonus for me, as it reassured me that I was giving the correct dose. Very easy to use, and my daughter certainly did not mind the taste!
This mamma was happy after the medication kicked in and my daughter was able to fall asleep with no fuss and without a doubt less pain. Will be keeping this on hand for the teething stage!

Obsessed! I have tried several Grown Alchemist products but this one is hands down my favourite. The mix of mandarin and rosemary makes for a dreamy euphoric scent, and I just cannot get enough -nor can I stop smelling it once I have it on. The cream is fast-absorbing and not at all greasy, and the moisturizing effect is long-lasting -soft skin all the way!
The clean ingredients are a bonus for sure! My skin adores!

I super duper enjoyed the Grown Alchemist Energize Body Cleanser. Some of my fav things about this product include: the clean ingredients, the fact that it’s low foaming and the fresh scent -which has a super pleasant and gender-neural smell, so much so that I share it with my partner. I found it fairly hydrating both during the shower and after. I liked that the scent lingered following the shower but that it was not overbearing. I look forward to using it every morning as it gives me a good, fresh boost to start my day! I use it and feel pampered.

A lovely brew of coffee! I found the McCafe French Vanilla brew to have distinguishing taste, where the French vanilla was subtle yet aromatic -just the perfect amount!
Super easy to make thanks to the pre-packaged k-cups, this was a delightful addition to my morning routine.
I was particularly happy to learn that the coffee beads were 100% ethically sourced and this put the coffee even higher in my books.
I recommend you go for this brew if you want a bit of something special when it comes to flavour, without worrying about the pure taste of coffee being overwhelmingly powered by the vanilla flavour. Thumbs up all the way!
