I bought this for a family member's young infant who was about ready to walk. With assistance, the child was able to grab onto the handle and push the toy while taking steps forward. The walker never toppled over and the toy attachment on the front never fell off while the toy was being pushed. There are lots of fun features for the child to play with. Musical tunes play when you push the buttons and it teaches numbers, shapes and colors as well. It has enough options to keep the child interested for some time. The buttons and spinning wheels are of a good size for the child to manipulate. I also feel like you're getting a two in one deal with this toy since the activity board detaches and can be played with on the child's lap instead of being propped up on the walker all the time. The only downside I can think of is that the play phone, although it is a fun extra, isn't attached so there is a possibility that one day it can be easily misplaced. Other than that, this is a fantastic toy for children ages 1-2 years of age. -

These oil based wipes are great for removing leftover hot wax residue on your skin. The wax seems to melt right off and it moisturizes and soothes your skin in the process. The oil gives skin a beautiful glow, especially if you're using it on your legs. It also leaves behind an amazing scent which I wish they would bottle in the form of a lotion or perfume. One wipe goes a long way in that it is saturated with the oil and the size of the wipe is of a good size, making it very cost effective! I like that they are all individually packaged so that there isn't the risk of the wipes drying up. This is a definite must have for at home hair removal. -

I have a love-hate relationship with this product. When I first tried it out, I was impressed at how efficiently it worked at reducing puffiness underneath the eye area and it did so rather quickly. The roller ball feels very refreshing and cool on the skin and it works well at dispersing the right amount of product as you roll it back and forth. The issue I had was after the product had time to dry, I sort of felt my skin tightening where I had applied the product. When I went to look in the mirror, I could see that wherever the product was placed, the skin was now shiny in that area and it seemed pulled back, sort of what you would get with an eyelift. As I passed my finger on the area to see whether it was completely dry, the product began to come apart, much like a film of glue you would rub back and forth between your fingers. It looked like a mess afterwards. I tried applying my under eye concealer on my other eye and it looked so bad. I had to completely remove it and start over without any anti-puff product underneath. Therefore, if I were to use this again, I would only apply it on days when I am staying home or before bed (which I know defeats the purpose of using it because it should be applied in the morning when eyes are most puffiest, but I don't see another choice). I don't want to give this a thumbs down because the puffiness did go away a good deal, but at the same time, I don't know if I would spend the money on it again. It gets a "meh" from me. -

Lays Classic Potato Chips are pretty basic, no fancy flavours here. They are salty, sometimes too salty for my liking that I'm constantly drinking water after eating them. Another factor to consider is that they are cut very thinly and tend to crumble easily in the bag. I usually wind up with quite a few broken pieces and don't like to serve them when guests are over. I do think they are delicious but not my first choice in the chip department when choosing a bag of chips to eat on their own. On a positive note, I love putting a few in sandwiches once in a while for the added crispy texture or as a side for fish and chips. -

I received this granola bar as a sample. I'm usually not a big fan of dried fruit granola bars as I tend to favour ones that contain chocolate instead. I have to say, I was very pleasantly surprised at how good this tasted. The dried blueberries really stand out and make this bar stand out from other varieties in this category. The texture is a mix of chewiness from the dried fruits (including raisins) and crunchiness from peanuts and almonds. It was a very satisfying treat! A little high in terms of the amount of sugar and it does contain palm oil shortening, so be careful with the saturated fats. Otherwise, very good! -

After suffering from a bad case of indigestion and heartburn, I sought relief through these Pepto-Bismol caplets. They are easier to take and less messy than the liquid version, which is why I opted for the pills instead, plus I figured I could also bring them along on the go if need be. In terms of calming symptoms, it does deliver on its promise of quick relief. However, I did need to take another 2 caplets about an hour later (recommended dosage for adults is 2 caplets every half hour if symptoms persist). If one would have consistent stomach issues, then I wouldn't see these as being very cost effective and in this case, the liquid version would probably be more economical. Other than that, it did help bloating and the burning sensation go away eventually. Definitely something to bring with you when travelling or just to have on hand in case of emergencies. -

I received this granola bar as a sample. My first reaction was that you could actually see big chunks of almonds, peanuts and chocolate and couldn't wait to sink my teeth into the bar. The result was a mix of crunchy, chewy goodness all brought together by the sweet chocolate taste. The bottom of the granola bar is also covered in a layer of dark chocolate, so it was a nice bonus! Although not bad in terms of calories (170 per bar), it does contain palm oil which is higher in saturated fats, so it's surprising it would be featured in a Special K product that promotes healthier eating. Other than that, it is quite delicious, but to be had once in a while as a treat. -

These frozen dumplings were so easy and quick to cook. I was a little apprehensive at first as to how they would taste, since I've only ever had fresh dumplings in the past, but they were so delicious! They were very fresh tasting, juicy and succulent. I really tasted the pork and the vegetables added a nice texture as well. Not too salty and the dough did not fall apart during the cooking process. Each dumpling is of a generous portion with enough filling to keep you satisfied. Great as an appetizer or as part of your main meal. Your guests will certainly be impressed and won't be able to tell the difference between fresh and frozen. These are fantastic! -

I always make sure to have this product handy when I'm washing clothes. It works so well at lifting off stains, even the toughest ones like tomato sauce, pen marks, even grease. I spray the affected areas and let it sit for an hour before throwing it in the wash. My clothes come out clean and stain free every time. It is gentle and will not damage even the most delicate of fabrics. I do, however, make sure to test a small area first, just in case. The spray nozzle works very well at distributing the product evenly and you only need a few sprays to get the job done. Great stuff! -

These freezer bags are one of my favorite by the Ziploc brand. Both the plastic and the seal are thick and sturdy. I've stored all sorts of food in them and they have not once acquired freezer burn. The double zipper seal closes and pulls apart easily and there is a handy blank label printed on the bag where you can write what meal/food you've stored inside. Great for packing lunches too! -
