Colgate Total Advanced with Charcoal Toothpaste
Nice toothpaste. I use with a regular toothbrush and it leaves your teeth feeling clean. And great for sensitive gum areas. I haven't noticed it whitening my teeth just yet.

First off, this product contains alcohol and I prefer pads with less alcohol. They do make your skin feel great, tightened and brighter, and a little cooled and tingly, and the cloth pads are more luxurious than other disposable pads I have used. I would not really call this product a peel - it's more of a toner.
There are so many of these products out there now, and with much more immediate results, I'm not certain this is a contender.

Skyn Iceland Glacial Face Wash with White Willow Bark
This is a great cleanser. I love how this cleanser leaves my skin feeling clean and refreshed. It’s very soothing and cooling on my skin & cleans thoroughly. A very tiny amount goes a long way.

My husband was excited to finally receive a product from ChickAdvisor to try, and this is his review.
At first he was hesitant to try it as he has a favourite that he always uses, but he was pleasantly surprised at both the scent and the effectiveness. He felt it kept him dry and smelling fresh all day in his suit.
When I asked him to give me one word to sum up what he thought of it, he gave me two thumbs up and a "great"

I was excited to be chosen as one of the lucky ladies to try the Pond's Evening Soothe Moisture Clean Towelettes for free. Unfortunately my excitement was short lived.
First the smell - while is isn't that bad, there is something in it that makes me sneeze. The scent is just too strong.
Second - they are quick and easy to use, however, I felt I needed to rub a bit harder to remove my make-up, and even then, as wet as these towelettes are, they didn't remove all of my make-up.
There are much better wipes out there and sadly, I wouldn't recommend these.

This was the first product I tried from Tiber River and am so glad I did. With pets in the house, I am always worried about them getting cleaning chemicals on their paws, etc. The website says this can clean absolutely everything and I agree. I've used it on my counters, stove, sink, and diluted it in a bucket to clean our kitchen floor. It does a wonderful job and smells so fresh (citrusy). I'm so glad I found this environmentally friendly cleaner!! -

A friend had been trying to get me to try Tiber River products for some time as she knew I had previously purchased from Melaleuca. One of the first products I tried was the Bar None Shampoo Bar.
I was looking for a good shampoo that is travel friendly and since this looked interesting I thought I would give it a try before using on my next vacation.
The instructions for use are to massage the bar into wet hair until you reach desired lather amount. Lather, rinse and follow with conditioner.
I have mid-length fine hair and found that rubbing the bar onto my wet hair was a bit awkward, often pulling at my hair. As my hair got cleaner it was easier to rub on my scalp but it was almost like rubbing a bar of dry soap on dry hair.
Once I was able to get some lather built up, it did clean my hair nicely and left it soft and smelling nice.
I will give it a go a couple more times before I make a final decision but I am not sure I will purchase again. Also I should mention that I am between colors so don't honestly know if this is for color treated hair or not.

A friend had been trying to get me to try Tiber River products for some time as she knew I had previously purchased from Melaleuca. One of the first products I tried was the Coco Cabana Shower Shake.
I'm honestly not sure what I expected but when I opened the jar, but I was surprised that the product was solid. It is advertised as a 3-in-1 product that cleanses, exfoliates and moisturizes your skin, all in one step.
I scooped a bit of the product out with my finger and smooshed it into my loofa, rubbing it around until it foamed nicely. It was a nice soft lather that smelled divine! It definitely cleaned well and the exfoliation was not too abrasive.
Two thumbs up!

I received the 8 quart Instant Pot as a Christmas gift as my husband thought it would be useful for cooking on my Keto diet.
I can say this pressure cooker has been life changing and I absolutely LOVE this pot!!!
First thing I made in the IP was roast chicken (before crisping in the oven for a short while) which would take me hours before. It was so juicy and tender. Second thing I made was hard boiled eggs - I've never had an egg peel so easily before!!
Using this, there is a learning curve though. First of all it takes a while for the internal pressure to build up BEFORE the timer starts ticking. And trying to understand how much water to add or time to set will take some learning. Luckily I am in a Facebook group which helps immensely with questions.
Pros:
-Very easy to use. Just put your ingredients and water in and press some buttons and leave. Come back and get cooked food.
-halves the cooking time. I made a lot of beef stew in 50 minutes, on the stove it takes at least 1.5-2 hrs.
-no mess or splattering like on the stove.
-1 pot means less dishes and cleaning up
-1 the quick release option for depressurizing is very fast unlike a traditional manual pressure cooker
-so many uses like saute (like a normal stove or electric cooker), rice cooker, yogurt maker, steamer (good as a double boiler for cheesecake), and more
Cons:
-takes time for internal pressure to build up before the timer actually runs and can take time to depressurize if not using quick release option
-if you need to add veges to your meat/lentil stew in the middle, you have to depressurize then lift lid and add. This empties the pressure inside and then you start over again... But i honestly dont mind all this given the overall convenience of this
