When I first got this I was excited to try it myself because I love mango so one afternoon I decided to have it as a snack and expected the typical applesauce texture, it's not that!!
It's not horrible but it's different, more like purees baby food pears if that makes sense.
Don't let the texture put you off though, the taste is great, my kids both really like it, my youngest goes and gets himself one and brings it to me with a spoon and waits for me to open it for him for a snack or with breakfast.

I really wanted to love this product, I love DOVE and it's my go to drug store brand for hair products.
My hair is fine and this winter it's been very dry so I was hopeful since this product is supposed to be a.conditioning mousse and is able to be used daily but unfortunately it didn't love up to the claims (for me at least).
The product is cool in theory but honestly, it's nothing more than a gimmick. Because of the conditioning element the texture is different than other mousse products and it's hard to know how much to use because of that and it feels odd in the hair.
It does wash out easily and I haven't noticed a residue buildup however I don't feel like it provided any conditioning element, my hair is no better off now than when I started using it.
I wouldn't buy it, I'll stick with traditional conditioners and traditional mousses.

My cousin recieved this mascara in her boxycharm but decided to pass it along to me, I've used an IT cosmetics mascara before and didn't love it so I was sceptical of this one.
It's quite a wet formula but it applies nicely and is buildable without being too clumpy or spidery looking.
The formula stays on all day without smudging or flaking, I even slept in it (oops, I was tired and fell asleep) and there was minimal flaking when I woke up and it washed off easily.
Overall I was impressed by this mascara and will continue to use it, I've used it twice and may even purchase it when it's done, the price point is higher than drug store brands (which are typically my go-to) but the quality is worth the price.
I added a picture (ignore the silly expression) so you can see it with 2 coats on.

I started cloth diapering 2 years ago out of necessity, my son had constant reactions and horrible, raw rashes from disposable diapers.
I tried a lot of other diaper brands and styles and settled on 2 specific brands with Lil Helper being my favourite, I have a large selection of them, both solid colours and prints and find their system the easiest to use, the snap in charcoal inserts are great for hiding any stains and the option for bamboo or overnight inserts that also snap in are great, you can truly customize the absorption you require and they offer boosters for that extra little help and the stay dry liners are amazing, they keep baby feeling dry and catch solids making for easy clean up.
These wash up easily and quickly go together for the next use. I really like that they are a Canadian company who put in a lot of effort to source their products and the CEO is very personable, the customer service from Lil Helper diapers is beyond for.
If you're thinking of trying cloth diapers then check them out, they have a trial diaper offer even for a half price diaper with free shipping and then when you love it you can order day packs, bibs, change mats, wet bags and more AND they have brand ambassadors who have coupon codes you can use for a free diaper if you spend over $79 and you get free shipping, I was hooked after one use and have since used a few ambassador codes because I've order a bunch of them.

My husband and I are both grumpy morning people, we hate waiting around for a pot of coffee to brew and just want to get to sipping so we decided to try a few different instant coffee brands and Nescafe has been the one we stuck with and have continued to purchase.
It comes in a variety of flavours, we both like the dark roast (which has become our regular one) and I also like the French vanilla flavour.
We find that the flavour is full and the instant coffee grounds easily dissolve without needing to stir much.
The glass jar is easy to open and we reuse the jars in our kitchen and when done we can recycle them which is important to us.
The price is perfect, not overly expensive and you get a good amount for the price, we also like that being a popular brand it often goes on sale and we can purchase an extra jar or two.

I'm a busy mom of 2 little boys, our days are packed and often I don't have the chance to sit down and have a real lunch so my go-to lately has been Salmas corn crackers and a protein, like tuna or hummus and veggies.
I really like that these crackers are gluten free without the speciality food price and the packaging of 3 crackers of a decent size is perfect for on-the-go snacks or lunches.
The flavour is nice and light, a nice roasted corn flavour with a bit of salt, it pairs well with any savoury dip or protein, I've even used them to dip into egg salad! They are crunchy and strong enough to scoop dip and hold protein.
They have become a staple in our pantry, my kids even reach for them which is a sign that they're great!

I have very sensitive skin, it can dry out really quickly and interact to the most basic of scents so I needed to find a soap that truly was designed for sensitive skin.
I had purchased Baby Dove for my children and decided instead of buying yet another body wash that said it was for sensitive skin I'd try a bar soap and since I was buying Dove already for my children I decided to try their bar, I was skeptical because most bar soaps I find have a scent even if they say unscented and they leave my skin very dry.
I bought the 2 pack and upon opening it I noticed right away that there wasn't an overwhelming scent which was promising so I used it in the shower, it suds up nice and even when wet doesn't have a strong scent so I actually used it on my face which I almost never do because bar soaps are so drying.
When I finished my shower and dried off I noticed that I didn't immediately feel likey skin was tight and dry, usually I dry off and instantly need to use moisturizer but this time I didn't, my skin felt clean but the soap didn't remove all the moisture which was nice.
I woke the next morning and had no reaction, no hives, no itchy patches and no redness and still felt like my skin had moisture.
Overall I'd say for a bar soap this one is great, I'd use it in my kids, in fact when their baby Dove runs out I may just use this as the baby one has a scent and this doesn't which likely means less chemicals which is a good thing in my book.

After going through every formula on the market (and I mean every single one) we finally tried Kirkland Omega formula for our baby who refused to breastfeed.
We liked that the container was larger than others on the market which means less running out to get formula for a hungry baby.
We found the value was great, especially considering the size of the container.
Our baby unmediated seemed less fussy and didn’t spit up as often so it seemed that it agreed with his sensitive tummy so when we were pregnant a 2nd time we stocked up on Kirkland Omega for babies sensitive to lactose (since our first son was sensitive) and he’s used it since birth to supplement.

Cloth diapers - All in one style

If you’re considering using cloth diapers then my suggestion is to try out an All-in-One style, they are the easiest to use (if they have a hook & loop fastening instead of snaps they’re even easier!).
All-in-one diapers take the guess work out of cloth diapers, no stuffing or folding, just put it on like a disposable diaper.
Cloth diapers are not only cute but so environmentally friends and they really are easier to clean then people think.
