The lightest suncare product specifically for the face that I have ever used. I find it really important to protect my face from harmful UV, especially in the hot summer months, but absolutely despise putting thick, sticky products on my face, especially ones that sweat off and sting your eyes! This product is the perfect solution, it goes on so light that you can't even feel it. I felt that it provided excellent protection, and I love the size of the bottle: perfect to carry around in even my small purses for reapplication. I will definitely purchase this in the future. -

Of the three Vichy Ideal products that I tried, the After-Sun Care product is the one that surprised me the most. When I opened the box, I didn't think that this was a product I really needed or would enjoy. Boy was I wrong! After using it for a few weeks, my skin has never felt softer, including my elbows which are typically quite rough. It has definitely also helped me to maintain a nice healthy summer glow. I was recently pregnant, and I especially enjoyed rubbing the oil into my pregnant belly; I'm happy to say I got absolutely no stretch marks... maybe the oil helped? Lastly, the scent of this product is amazing. It's subtle, but is definitely reminiscent of a tropical holiday... my husband would comment how nice it smelled every time I wore it. Although the price point is a little high for my liking, a little bit really does go a long way, and I was thrilled with the results. I think that I probably would purchase this product again, especially for the summer months. -

This has been a game changer for my skin. I have tried various moisturizers and anti-aging products over the years, but nothing has given me the same results as the Aveda Composition oil. It's recommended for use on the body, scalp, bath, etc., but I mix a few drops of this product right in with my moisturizer, and apply morning and night. It's given my skin such a healthy glow, and makes me look refreshed (even when I feel like a tired, run-down mama!) As with all of their products, you know you're applying a natural, quality product to your body, without artificial scents, chemicals, etc. I've also been applying it to my 7.5 month pregnant belly, and no stretch marks yet! Definitely recommend this awesome, multi-purpose product. -

This is my go to shampoo, and because I only shampoo every three days or so, I feel that I can justify the price... the regular size bottle actually lasts me several months. It makes me feel good knowing that I am using high quality, ethically sourced, natural products on my body. The smell is absolutely heavenly (and makes my whole bathroom smell like a spa). The shampoo is also extremely effective; as mentioned I can go several days between shampoos, and my hair feels soft, smooth and manageable. It's also not too drying on my scalp, as some products can be. They also sell travel size bottles of this product if you want to try it without committing $20 off the bat. -

Hands down the best carrier we have, and we have tried a few, including Ergo, stretchy wraps and ring slings. Although lillebaby doesn't (yet) come in some of the fun, flashy colours that other carriers do, it has all kinds of extra features which makes it the preferred carrier for both my husband and I. We love the back support for parent, the ability to make the seat narrow (for infant) or wider (for toddler). The airflow is amazing for summer wearing (I also wore it in California and Arizona on vacation). The neck support and hood are key for allowing baby to have long, comfy naps. I've worn this carrier for up to 5 hours before, and both baby and I were happy. I think that I will be using it even more frequently when baby #2 comes along this summer, and I'll be needing my hands free more than ever. Highly, highly recommend. -

I can't remember what we did before these wipes! We buy the 6-pack from Costco, and find them to be extremely cost effective. We keep a container in the kitchen, in each bathroom, in the car and at the office. They're an absolute godsend for cleaning up small messes, wiping down dusty surfaces, disinfecting nasty surfaces like my keyboard and phone at work, and even cleaning up muddy arms and legs after the park. -

I received a sample of this product last year, and decided to test it out at a music festival. Around dusk the mosquitos got quite bad, and we found that this product was very effective at keeping them away from us. I far prefer this product to applying spray or lotion right to my skin. I have since seen this product in stores, and although I noted the price was a little high, I would plan to purchase for this summer since I know that the product works, and would be great for the beach, picnics, hiking, etc. -
