My first thought is that the photo on the packaging does not really look like the ice cream. The photo makes the cookie pieces look not that great becausethe colouring is off. Thankfully, this is not the case at all when you open the container.
I could tell that the ice cream was a higher quality because it was soo creamy! The cookie chunks were crunchy and not soggy, which was great! And the cookie dough pieces... YUM! I wish it was in a vanilla ice cream base because I didnt care for the brown butter base.
I know what was trying to be accomplished with the smashing of flavours in a small convenient container, but unfortunately, the mark was missed with this flavour.
I can't wait to try the other flavours though! So, Chapman's, I am willing to let you make me try more flavours!

About this product:
🛁 Helps protect pubic skin
🛁 Dermatologist & gynecologist tested
🛁 pH balanced
🛁 Formulated without parabens, dyes, fragrance, or silicone
Directions: Gently rub a small amount onto wet skin to form a light lather. Shave or use as a cleanser. Rinse thoroughly.
Review:
I wish this had existed when I first started shaving! I found that shaving gel/foam makes it really hard to see the area you are shaving, which can lead to an accidental cut. The 2-in-1 Cleanser + Shave Gel gives you a nice soft lather and gliding surface while allowing you to see what and where you are shaving. It comes out as a thick gel, but lightly lathers nicely and spreads over the pubic skin well. I found it worked amazingly for the pubic hair and skin as it felt like it softened the hair and protected the skin. I was left with nice, smooth and hydrated pubic skin. It also has no fragrance, which is nice.
Overall, a great shaving gel that I will use from now on!

First off, I love the new campaign from Gillette Venus to normalize talk around pubic hair and our body! They want to emphasize using anatomically correct terms and destigmatize female pubic shaving! Even just now my auto-correct wanted to change pubic to "public"! We have strayed a bit too far and it's time we become comfortable again with our body and use the proper terms for specific areas without embarrassment or judgement.
About this product:
🛁 Dermatologist & gynecologist tested
🛁 Razor comes with 3 cartridges
🛁 Specifically designed to help protect pubic skin
The razor cartridge is specifically designed for pubic hair and skin because we all know that pubic hair is definitely more coarse than leg hair, while pubic skin is more fragile! Using any ol' razor can lead to irritation and/or the dreaded ingrown hairs, so not cool!
The Pubic Hair & Skin line from Gillette is geared toward helping to protect pubic skin. The patented Irritation Defense Bar "lets the blades remove hair while barely touching the skin". The razor is also equipped with a "precision trimmer on the back of the blades to help with tricky areas".
Review:
Throughout my lifetime I have tried sooo many different kinds and types of razors, so I was very curious to test this one out! Boy, am I impressed! The Gillette Venus Razor for Pubic Hair and Skin is magical! I had zero irritation, which in my books is unheard of, especially in the pubic region! The pubic area has so many angle challenges, that normally you come out of a pubic shave with something pulled! Finally, a razor company who has thought of this and knows that I'm not a flexible gymnast! Thank you! 💓 The razor has a sturdy handle with a great grip and strong razor blades. It won't break if you drop it! 🥺
I also love that Gillette has partnered with Terracycle to recycle used blades, razors, and packaging! ♻️ To get started visit:

Pairing my pubic shave with Gillette Venus 2-in-1 Cleanser + Shave Gel made the experience so much better!

Tired of expensive salon visits to wax the smallest of areas?
I was very happy to be selected for Parissa's 2023 Program! I got to try Parissa's Face & Lip Hot Wax for free from Parissa and Butterly in exchange for my honest review.
I recieved Parissa's:
-Face & Lip Hot Wax (no-strip wax) (100g)
-Ultra Soothe Oil (80ml)
The Face & Lip Hot Wax came with the hard wax in a metal canister, a couple of application sticks, and 5ml of the Ultra Soothe Oil. I tried two methods of heating the wax: in a bowl of hot water, which did not work and in a pan of water on the stove. I wish the wax came in a glass container to heat it in the microwave, which is what I was used to. I did have a couple of oopsies where I spilled some wax in the pan and of course while trying to clean it, I dumped a bunch on my glass cutting board! Urg! Not to worry, like candle wax, I let it cool and it came off! Phew!
Now to the actual waxing! I did a test strip on my wrist and all was good, so I moved to my upper lip. I liked how the quick guide reminds you which way to apply the wax and it was great I to not have to mess around with any strips! The hair came off very easily, with the actual waxing only taking a few minutes. It took more time to heat it up! The results were great and effective! My upper lip feels so smooth! I really like that this is a green wax alternative, plus i couldn't tell the difference. I also feel good using it!
I used the Ultra Soothe Oil, which helps prevent redness and bumps. It contains essential oils: chamomile, peppermint, eucalyptus, cypress, and as well sea berry and vitamin E. It felt really nice and soothing.
Both the Hot Wax and Ultra Soothe Oil are advertised as vegan and natural.
Thank you Parissa and Butterly for this experience!

Aveeno's body wash is super nourishing while providing a great cleanse! It lathers easy and creates a nice foam. Half a teaspoon of the body wash does my whole body, so a little goes a long way! I have also shaved with the body wash when in a pinch and it works great! My skin never feels tight after showering, which is astonishing given the colder weather and the indoor dry heat. I like the light scent and find it isn't overpowering. It's a great product! -
Aveeno® Daily Moisturizing Body Wash Eco Friendly Refill Pouch

I love that it now comes in a refill pouch! So smart! The pouch has a great spout to ensure easy pouring without spillage or waste. The spout has a nice closure, so you don't have to worry about leakage or resealing the pouch. The only downside is trying to figure out how to, or if it is possible, to recycle the pouch?
From the website provided next to the recycle indicator, it appears the pouch is not yet accepted for recycling. The website provided: how2recycle.info was interesting, but mostly US-based information even though I was under the Canada tab. I didn't know the site existed, so at least I learned a few new things about recycling.
I feel like this pouch is going in the right direction, but to be better, it needs to be recyclable in Canada.

Let's face it, deodorant is a tad on the routine side, so I love it when my stick is witty! Thank you Butterly, Chickadvisor and Hello for providing me this product for free in exchange for my honest review! 💕
I received:
🌿 Hello's Deodorant with Charcoal in the scent Clean + Fresh (73g)
It has clear instructions "apply to underarms only. think happy thoughts. smile, you've got this."! Too funny! 🤣 This is the first deodorant I have tried that contains charcoal, so the grey colour surprised me at first. I have to say that it worked great! The deodorant glides on nicely with no pulling or clumps left behind. The Clean + Fresh scent smells really nice and isn't overpowering. I also liked the extra detail of the "hello" imprint on the deodorant. I feel like it shows that the brand cares and will take the extra step to make the client feel special. It's a nice touch. 😊
I think besides it actually working, the best part is that it has: no aluminum, no baking soda, no parabens, isn't tested on animals, and is dermalogically tested, vegan, made from globally sourced ingredients, and only contains natural fragrance!
Overall, a hit in my books! I will be using this product from now on!

First off, this Purse Pet is adorable and an instant hit! It is very versatile as it can be used as a toy, stuffed animal, and purse (both as a hand bag and a long purse with its 42" strap)! It can also be used as an interactive toy because it makes sounds depending on where you touch the owl. It has over 30 sounds and reactions. Thankfully, there is a switch inside that has three settings: off, on all the time and sensitive to touch, and standby/on only when you press the button. I like that this toy has variety of options and keeps attention spans! Let's just say that it has been about a week and it hasn't been put down yet.
This is the first purse and it's cute how much it can hold ...not that I'm allowed to see exactly what is inside, but I was given a quick peek from a distance! I feel good that this Purse Pet gives comfort in many ways... as a disguised stuffie and a spot to keep treasures!
As a side note, my dog also loves the interactive abilities of the Pet Purse! He darted around the house for a good 20 minutes while the owl moved and made noises! It was both cute and hilarious! 😁🐕🐾💕

I was selected for the Colgate Oral Care campaign and received this product free from Butterly and Colgate in exchange for my honest review.
I received:
🦷 Colgate Sensitive Pro-Reflief Repair & Prevent Toothpaste (120ml)
About this product:
🦷 Repairs teeth by forming a mineral layer that re-constructs the sensitive part of the tooth
🦷 Seals open nerve channels for instant relief
🦷 Helps prevent sensitivity from reoccurring
Review:
I have had sensitive teeth for along as I can remember, so I am no stranger to Sensitive toothpastes. Normally, the box will say the flavour and whether it is a gel or paste, but this one didn't, so it was a surprise! This toothpaste is in a paste format and has a light mint taste. After brushing, my teeth felt clean and my sensitive areas were relieved. I like that the mint flavour isn't overpowering because it can have the opposite effect by creating sensitivity to cold water...or just breathing! I found that it freshened my breath too. Overall, in my opinion, this toothpaste is up there with the well known Sensitive ones!
Tip: My dental hygienist gave me a couple of tips. Get rid of as much toothpaste after brushing without rinsing my mouth with water. Also, right before bed, add some toothpaste directly on the sensitive spots and leave it there. It helps with the sensitivity quite a great deal!
Thank you Butterly and Colgate for giving me the opportunity to try this toothpaste!

About this product:
❤ Anti-aging serum with two-phase hydric (water-soluble) and lipidic (oil-soluble) formula
❤ Contains 20+1 potent age-control plant extracts
❤ Claims to form and reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles, improve radiance, even skin tone, and reduces the appearance of pores
❤ For all ages, ethnicities, skin types
❤ Safe for sensitive skin and is non-comedogenic
Review:
As you can see in my photos, the sachets ended up convincing me to take advantage of Clarins Friends & Family sale (extended until today) and buy the product! I have to commend Clarins Canada for their very fast delivery!
I absolutely love this serum! I have been using it day and night for just over two weeks. I might be slightly addicted to its amazing scent, which is not overpowering, but nice and subtle. The Double Serum is so silky! I love how you can decide how much to dispense, however, even at the lowest setting, I found it was too much and I had excess after using it on my face, neck and decolletage.
The two serums are dispensed evenly and mix well together. The serum absorbed well into my skin. Even though I have oily, sensitive and acne-prone skin, I found that my skin wasn't oily afterward and it didn't cause any breakouts or concerns. My skin looks youthful, radiant and my fine lines aren't as noticeable.
I absolutely love Clarins and their Double Serum!
