Thank you @thisisbutterly and @chickadvisor for allowing me to try @orangenaturals Magnesium Sleep Aid! Caveat: I did not try them as I was terrified just by the size of the pills. I am not good at taking pills so if you are like me, these are not for you.
That being said, my 17 year old son who plays rep hockey saw these sitting in the counter right after I opened them and asked if he can try them, of course I said yes! Playing hockey 6 days a week is hard on his body and muscle aches, pains and cramping is a common occurrence. He also plays late at night and comes home high on adrenaline making it very hard for him to fall asleep. He has been taking these for a couple weeks now and says he feels great. His muscles have been less achey, the muscle cramps are few and far between and the best part, he sleeps like a baby. He will take 1-2 pills when he gets home, does his usual nighttime routine and when he is ready for bed, he can just hop in and quickly fall asleep. I have noticed a huge change in him since taking them. The typical 17 year old grumpiness is far less, I won’t say gone, but I will still take it as a win! He is much more alert both on and off the ice. He is also more active on the ice because he is not as sore. I will absolutely continue to use this product even after the sample is gone.

Thanks to @thisisbutterly and @chickadvisor, I was able to try @orangenaturals Omega Squeeze as a way to provide my kids with all the benefits of Omega 3 and Vitamin D. I want to start off saying what NOT to do with this product! Me being me I decided I would just drop some of this in glass of water and try it myself. It reminded me of watery milk. It didn’t dissolve, it just made for cloudy water and left a terrible, oily taste in my mouth!! To be fair, it does say “creamy” right on the bottle. That being said, when I tried it according to the instructions and added it to yogurt, it was completely different! I didn’t taste the tangerine flavouring, only that of the yogurt.. great news if you want to mask all the goodness this product has to offer such as Omega 3 and Vitamin D. I think it is a great product for kids, especially picky little ones who won’t take something if it even resembles medicine.
Obviously, I am only the one who purchases the products but the true test is if the kids will actually eat it… good news, they will!!! I tricked my son into eating the rest of my yogurt and he had no idea what what in it. He ate it, loved it, didn’t even realize it was different than the usual yogurt that he loves. That’s a win for me. While I wouldn’t purchase this item (my kids actually will take vitamins believe it or not), I can see it being perfect for those not as lucky as myself. I think my only complaint would be the oily taste left in the back of my mouth which wasn’t nearly as bad with the yogurt but you would definitely want to be careful what you put it into and I would not just take it on its own.

I #gotitfree from #butterly and well, I didn’t hate it… okay so I really wanted to love this mascara because I love the brush. It’s nice and thick and I could just picture the volume it would create; however, while it did add some volume and made my lashes a tiny bit longer, I can’t see myself buying this one in the future. The downfalls for me were 1) it didn’t give me the desired push lashes that I do crave; and 2) it isn’t waterproof - it is the heat of summer right now and I want a mascara that can hold up quick dips in the water or chilling under a mister (personal preference so nothing against this mascara!)
On the plus side, this mascara lasted ALL day!!! The box does say that you will have thicker, longer, stronger lashes in 4 weeks. Having only limited days to try it out, I would need a few more weeks to see the final effect

I received the #COVERGIRL weightless water cream as a #freesample and so far so good. It was a small sample so I found it hard to really formulate a strong opinion on it. I can say that the cream felt amazing, as weightless as described. It moisturized my skin without leaving it greasy and my skin stayed hydrated all day long. It had a very mild smell which was just clean smelling. From what I can tell this is a great product and I would love to try more of it! -
