The Aqualia Thermal Light Cream was too heavy for a daily use cream for my skin. However, I would repurchase this and use it as a treatment ever couple of days. Putting it on right out of the shower left my skin feeling ultra hydrated and baby soft and reapplying every 2-3 days was perfect for my skin. #vichyworksforme
I was sent this wonderful Aqualia trio by Vichy to test and review. The Aqualia Thermal Power Serum, Aqualia Awakening Eye Balm as well as the Aqualia Thermal Light Cream. As a thirty something mom of three (who still does not sleep full nights) I am always looking for great skin care products that do not require a high maintenance schedule. This trio with some slight modifications was a quick, simple, no fuss routine that addressed most of my skin concerns. My skin profile would be normal to combination and I was looking to address hydration and some first signs of ageing. I carefully looked over all the information and recommendations for each product and followed the full regiment for four weeks. After the first week I made a slight modification as my skin was feeling greasy after using both the serum and cream in both the am and pm so I modified my regiment to use the serum in the morning and the cream in the evening as using both in the am and the pm was took much for me. I thought that would do the trick and it was ok for a couple days however by the third week I stopped using the cream in the pm as well as my skin was fully hydrated with just the serum and accompanying eye balm alone. I was very impressed. While I know the cream is meant to be used daily I would actually use it as an accompanying treatment every couple days which is what I did in week four and I have found the perfect balance for my skin. I have always loved Vichy products and their Aqualia line is no exception and the serum is by far a new favourite for me. I would definitely repurchase the serum for daily use. I LOVE the silky smooth texture of this serum. It is one of the best I have every tried. It melted into my skin and left it hydrated all day with no greasy residue. #vichyworksforme

The Aqualia Awakening Eye Balm was good for hydration, however it did not seem any better then others I have tried over the years and in addition I did not notice a reduction in puffiness. It did not deliver as well as the serum did. I do not think I would repurchase. I found it to be average. However, I would repurchase the serum and cream from the Aqualia line and substitute another eye cream. If you are looking for a hydration balm, I would recommend it, but it did not fully deliver on its target of reducing puffiness.

This play yard was a must have for us. We actually have three different ones with all of the travelling we do. I love the features for newborns and diaper changing, they are so useful with a tiny baby under six months old and worth the extra cost to have them.
However, if you are looking for one for older babies, a simpler model without the extras will work just fine.
I also found that sometimes the folding mechanism can be sticky and tough to open on the first try, however once you get it snapped into place it is not going anywhere so it's still functional. He first few months we did not have this issue, it started after about six months or so after heavy daily use and several trips so this might be no issue if you are planning to use it just as a bassinet play yard at home.
Overall a solid product and I would buy this one again.

I have used many brands of dry shampoo and this has to be my least favorite. I thought the darker tint would be great since I have dark brown hair and sometimes can get the white coating with other brands, however I found the tint to be a nuisance as it was so messy. It rubbed off on my hands throughout the day, and also on my clothes after a workout. This one is not for me. -

The one thing I love about the hair wax ready strips for legs and body is that they are so simple to use and no mess to clean up! However they are not very effective at removing thicker coarse hair and they miss the short stubble hair, so you have to let the hair grow out a bit in order to get a smooth result. That being said I would buy them again for the convenience and simplicity. -
Essie Nail Polish
This is one of the best nail polishes I have used. I love the variety of colors as well as the staying power. I bought this in Cashmere, a light nude color and love it! It can be dressed up or dressed down. I will definitely buy it again.

I received this sample along with two other flavors and I have to say this was not my favorite flavor. I was a bit too tart for my taste, however that is personal preference on my part therefore if you do not have a sweet tooth and enjoy a tart cranberry taste this will be the snack bar for you. I did really enjoy the other flavors, cherry was my favorite as it was much sweeter. Brookside snack bars are great taste and value. I would buy them as a snack :) -
Downy Unstopables In-Wash Scent Boosters - FRESH
I love using the in scent booster especially for bedding, towels, curtains etc. My favorite scent is lavender, but all of them are great. I find it lasts a week or so and smells wonderful without being overwhelming and a little goes a long way.

I have to say I was surprised with the quality and effectiveness of this product. Most of the drugstore lipsticks or balms I try do not work well on me as my lips get very dry and are prone to flaking. However this product had the perfect combination of moisture and staying power and actually preforms as advertised! I received it in a lux box sampler a few months ago in a red color and it has become a staple in my makeup bag. -
Brookside Dark Chocolate Fruit & Nut Bars - Blueberry with Acai
This flavor is a close second with the cherry and chocolate combination. Out of the three flavors I received to sample this would also make my grocery list for a great, healthy and quick snack!
