The most important thing with deodorants is whether it works. A lot of natural deodorants just don't do the job for me. Schmidt's Rose + Vanilla works. Hand in hand with whether it works is whether you like the scent. This scent is so good. I normally don't go for rose but love vanilla. The combination of these scents is so much better than I would have assumed it could be!
The reason I gave it 4 stars rather than 5 is because of the amount of grit in it. You are supposed to hold it by your pit before applying to soften in but even after that there is still a sandpaper like feel when you apply it that lingers for a few minutes after applying. I will likely continue using it in spite of this since the benefit of a working natural deodorant outlays the few minutes of discomfort but I would obviously be pleased if this was something they could change about it.

We used this polysporin on our kids scrapes from falling off their bikes on the road. It gives me piece of mind knowing that it will keep the cut from getting infected and it's is soothing for the kid to have it on the cut. It goes on smoothly and does not have any scent (which is super important for one of my daughters). It isn't sticky and or slippy. -

My kids are very active, outdoorsy kids so skinned knees and elbows are inevitable. We used 2 of the big bandaid side by side on a large, bloody knee scrape and the next day she crashed again and the bandaids were ripped in half but they protected her cuts from re opening. She also scrapped up her elbow pretty good so we have fully tested them on joints and they stay on well. My youngest daughter wanted to have one so she found an old cut on her pinky finger and we put a little bandaid on it. It stayed on well and when she was done with it, she was able to pull it off without it hurting her skin. We also tried one on the sole of one of my daughters feet after removing a sliver and it held up through an evening and the night and then she took it off in the morning. My kids also love Paw Patrol so being able to comfort them after a crash with some of their favourite characters is a big plus. -

My family enjoyed the box of Annie’s Homegrown Classic Cheddar Macaroni and Cheese that we received free for review from familyrated. Although I still prefer my homemade Mac and cheese, this was really tasty. It is, of course as a box meal, very easy to make. It doesn’t take very long to make but it is also gone quite quickly! It’s important to remember that it is a partial meal and you need veggies added and then you don’t need to overindulge in pasta. I would recommend it over Kraft Dinner for sure! -

I received a free bottle of Fruits & Passion Cucina Hand Soap to review. All opinions are my own.
While I wasn’t crazy about the scent of this soap when I was first trying it, I was impressed with how well the soap worked, not only in removing other scents (not just covering up but removing) from cooking or playing outdoors, but also how well it got oils off. It quickly removed oily face paints, peanut butter and all matter of things from my hands and my kids hands. My 6 year old loves this soap and has requested that it become our regular soap. I did find that the soap was thinner/runnier than my other hand soaps and it felt like I was going to use too much at a time but we quickly got used to only pushing the pump down half way.

I want to start by saying that I'm not a guy who needs a deodorant to last for 96 hours. I work in construction and shower daily so reapplying deodorant after a shower means I'm looking for one that holds up for a day at work not 4 days. Maybe this deodorant does hold strong for 4 days but I'm not going to be the one to test that! I did find that it kept me through a day of hard work though.
I'm not really a fan of the scent though and I greatly disliked how poorly the Right Guard Best Dressed Stunner Antiperspirant went on. I want a stick that glides and applies evenly. Maybe a clear version instead of the white, chalky one would do better.
I received this product free for review. The product was used and reviewed by my husband.

Originally when I tried the Dial for Men 3 in 1 revitalizing body wash I was put off by the scent. It seemed like some sort of mix between a toothpaste/mouthwash scent and deodorant/body wash scent. Peculiar to say the least. It did work though to clean my hair and body so I kept using it. After a week or so the scent sort of grew on me and I didn't find it so off-putting anymore. I would recommend it if anyone wants to not have so many products in the bathroom but I like having a separate shampoo and body wash. -

I received a package of 2 Vileda Scrounge Multi-use scrub sponges in exchange for a review. All opinions are my own. I've been using this sponge for so many things! I used it on some marks on my wall first and it was gentle enough to not damage the wall/paint but tough enough to get them clean. I also used the sponge to wash some dishes and loved that I could use it on my pots that can't have 'scratchy pads'. I also used it on my fridge, both inside and outside. It cuts through grease, caked on foods and everything else. The best part though was that even after all that scrubbing, after a good rinse, the sponge still looked fresh! This is definitely the best tool for most cleaning jobs! -

I received a bottle of Vim Cream Cleaner in Eucalyptus Scent in exchange for a review. All opinions are my own. I mostly used this cleaner in my bathroom but I also used it on the white of my runners. It did work well but no better than similar cleaners. The scent was nice although not something i would switch products for. I felt like i needed to use more of it than with thicker cream cleaners. I've included some pictures of my shoes so you can see how it worked on them. I would say this is an average cleaner at best. -

I have an old white fridge with that indent texture and since I moved into my place 5 years ago I have never been able to get it to look white and had resigned myself to having an off-white fridge. I randomly decided to try Vim Cream Cleaner with Bleach on it and could't believe the results! I literally did a single swipe with some Vim on a sponge and that strip of fridge was white! I wasn't even scrubbing, just wiping. I did the rest of the fridge and then when my husband came home from work he noticed right away. He wanted to know if I'd spent a long time scrubbing and when I told him I hadn't, he wanted to see it in action so I tried it on the outside of the drawer under the stove, which was very marked up with old spills etc. Again, it worked miraculously! My old white electric kettle looks brand new again too! And to top it all off I used it on the hood fan, always having that oily residue that I scrub forever to get off, and with a squirt of Vim and a firm wipe I had the whole thing done in a minute! This is definitely a superior cleaner!
