Recieved the Aveeno Calm + Restore Skin Therapy Balm for review.
It's a nice light cream that's great for sensitive skin. A little goes a long way. It helps hydrate the skin without leaving any irritation or residue. It absorbs quickly and leaves the face feeling, moisturized, hydrated and smooth. It is frangrance free, non-sticky and non-greasy.
I'm not a fan of the bottle. You have to squeeze the bottle to get the cream to come out and then not a lot comes out when you do. I feel at some point, I won't be able to access the remainder of the cream and I'll just end up cutting the bottle to get to the rest of it when it's on it's last legs 'sort to speak'.

Received the Aveeno Calm + Restore Cleanser for review.
It's a nice light cleanser that's not abrasive on the skin. It doesn't feel like it strips but instead leaves it feeling hydrated and not irritated. After use, it leaves the skin feeling clean and soft. It's frangrance free but I can smell a hint of oat.The cleanser resembles a white cream.
I like how it is sulfate-free, alcohol-free and dye-free and contains feverfew flower/leaf/stem juice.

Tried the Aveeno Tone + Texture Daily Renewing Lotion, which has now become my new daily hand, arm and legs moisturing cream.
After a few days of use, I did notice a difference with my skin getting softer and more hydrated.
The cream is not thick. It absorbs quickly and doesn't leave a residue or sticky feeling. The skin feels immediately softer once applied.
The cream is fragrance free however, you can smell a hint of the oat.
A bit disappointed that the prebiotic and Niacinamide ingredients are neither in the top 10 ingredients listed on the bottle.

Was so happy to receive Noma C9 Green and Red Indoor/Outdoor String lights , especially with the holiday season fast approaching.
I love these as indoor lights, though they can be used outdoor as well, making them versatile!
There are 24 alternating red and green LED bulbs on a 4.9 m cord. The lights illuminate a vibrant green and red colour.
The only downside I can say is that there aren't any settings on the lights which would allow them to flicker.
The lights come with a five (5) year warranty which is great and comes with a few replacement bulbs.
It does have the ability to connect to other sets, but you do have to make sure that the maximum wattage on the cord tag isn't overloaded.

I was excited to receive and have my toddler play with the Monster Jam ThunderROARus Drop Playset.
The playset came in a large box and instructions for assembly. The instructions are colourful and full of pictures however, they could have been better by labelling the parts with numbers.
The playset itself took about 45 min to set up. Once set up, you do need a lot of room for it, so you should take note of that if you are limited in space. You can't really 'pack away' the set once set up, nor would you want to if you want it readily available to play with.
You do also need 2 tripple AAA batteries with the set to get the lights and sounds. Those do not come with the packaging and must be bought separately.
I do not like the fact that you need to attach/mount the vertical dropset to your wall and that it takes up a large amount of room. The drop set stands at 6 feet tall. There is a little convenient crank on the side that does allow your little one to crank up the monster truck to the top of the vertical drop.
For the vertical drop itself, on some occasions, the monster truck did not follow along the track once released, and just fell off the track. These were far and few in between though. The drop itself looks pretty epic, especially with the effect of the monster car shooting out of Dino's mouth and the ability to perform a range of jumps/stunts ranging from a high jump, a front flip and a corkscrew. The corkscrew jump was my favourite!
The monster truck itself is very well made and is a 1:64 scale die cast. The truck is very resilient to withstand such high drops.
The thrill of this playset however, is short lived. Once you've played with it for an hour or so, it gets repetitive. It would be nice if going forward, you could attach tracks to this play set to build it out and add variation so that it doesn't get repetitive.
This pictures are both with and without the wall mount attached.

When it comes to a headache or any pain, TYLENOL is the brand I go to in order for effective, quick relief of the symptoms. For the worst cases of a splitting headache or a migraine, I can reach for the Extra Strength TYLENOL Ultra Relief tablets.
The tablets come in a child proof bottle. They are small little red tablets the size of M&M's. They are sweet-coated so they are easy to swallow.
This TYLENOL is stronger than the typical regular or extra strength TYLENOL as each tablet contains 500mg of acetaminophen and 65mg of caffeine.
Since the tables do contain caffeine, it may prevent you from sleeping if you take it at night. It is also recommended that if you do take this TYLENOL, to not consume other caffeine containing products.
There are also liver warnings due to the acetaminophen.
As there is a risk with any drug that you take, always make sure you read the instructions and recommendations before consuming any drug based on your needs and situation.

I've struggled with acne my whole life, even as an adult, so I was skeptical about the PanOxyl overnight spot patches working or having any effect.
The patches are small clear, sticky circles. Kind of like a sticker. They are latex-free and don't hurt or harm the skin. You place the patch over the blemish/pimple and let it sit for hours. You don't feel the sticker at all when it's placed over the pimple/blemish. It does not smell and is also hardly noticable, since it is clear. I do like that the patches come in two sizes, 9mm and 12mm, depending on the coverage needed.
I can't say that that the patch effectively absorbs spot secretions. The patch does tend to change colour/get cloudy over the spot that it covered the pimple, but I feel that is more due to the reaction of the ingrediatns on the patch interacting with the pimple/blemish, rather than the pimple secreting anything. I had to still provoke my pimple (like usual) in order to get the 'fluids' out, even with using the patch.
One thing I did notice was after using the patch, the healing process of the pimple was much better than before. I had less scaring and discolouration then typically when I get a pimple. It faded away quicker than normal - days vs weeks.
The patch also helps prevent you from touching the pimple/blemish so that does also contributes to it's healing.
I would purchase these patches to aid with the post-healing and scaring that I typically get with pimples.

When your child is sick all you want to do is make them feel better so that they can get back to normal!
I trust children's tylenol in getting the job done!I turn to Children's Tylenol when my child has a fever or a cold. Within 20 minutes, the medicine kicks in and the symptoms subside, allowing my child to rest and recover. The medication is effective for roughly 4-6 hours.
I prefer the liquid version instead of chewable tablets since it's easier for my child to consume. The purple liquid makes it seem "fun" to consume. It's not too thick. A quick gulp and down it goes for fast, effective relief! I opt for the grape flavour as that is the flavour my child likes the best. It comes in other flavours such as Berry, Banana Berry, Cherry and Buble Gum. There also is a Dye Free option available if your child has allergies to food dyes.Would highly recommend using Children's Tylenol if you have kids!

Purchased the Bai Antioxidant Infusion Drink to try. The downside was that the location I went to only had two flavours to select from. I purchased the Zambia Bing Cherry flavour. I'm not typically a person that consumes flavoured drinks however, I was pleasantly surprised with this drink. I kept it in the refridgerator so that when I tried it, it was cool and refreshing, especially on a hot summer day. I would describe the drink as flavourable and not sweet. Typically flavoured drinks are sugary but this one was great. Can't really say it tasted like a cherry but it was close enough. Best thing is the 530mL bottle was only 10 calories for the whole bottle and only 1 gram of sugar. I decided to use this after a workout, which worked great. Would definetly purchase/recommend this product and try other flavours. -
