I liked these wipes. Again, I enjoyed the packaging with it's retro and gender-neutral styling.
I usually keep facial cleansing wipes on hand for trips and overnights as I don't like bringing a bunch of bottles and like to streamline things as much as possible. I think they changed the formula of my old go-to brand of facial wipes as suddenly they seemed very irritating on my skin and didn't seem to remove my makeup anymore. Luckily, I received these to try and gave them a go. So much better! They didn't irritate my skin, had a nice pleasing scent (unlike the more chemical scent of my old brand) and removed all traces of my makeup. To be fair, I don't wear waterproof makeup at all, so I can't speak to how well they'd remove that stuff.
I was very happy with these wipes, and I think in the future this is the brand I'll be buying for travelling. I find them pricey (as I do all facial wipes) to use in my daily cleansing regimen, and will stick with the creme cleanser for that, but these will have a place in my purse and my overnight bag.

I am really impressed with this product from Nivea. I love the retro-look of the packaging. It's simple and clean in its design and gender-neutral so that my husband can use it too.
I found this cleanser did a great job at removing my makeup and the daily grime. It is thicker than a typical cleanser and left my skin feeling nicely moisturized. I removed it using a warm damp washcloth, which is the same method I'd use to remove cold cream, and I didn't find it left any residue on my face.
We've been having a heatwave here, and I'd usually stick to lighter products during this time of year, but I've been using this without any breakouts. I'm looking forward to giving this product another test during the winter when my skin is typically drier and I often use cold cream. I'm thinking it will be up to the challenge!
I like the light smell too. It just seems clean and fresh.

I received this product for free through the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club.
I usually use a deodorant and not an anti-antiperspirant, so I found this product worked great. It smelled great all day, and I didn't need to reapply in the evening.
I have found other antiperspirants in the past have given me redness under my arms, which is one of the reasons I moved away from them in the first place, but this one was very gentle and left my underarm skin looking like healthy, nourished skin.
I didn't have any problem with white marks, but I applied the product a few minutes before getting dressed.
I think I will continue to purchase this antiperspirant in the future.

I received this product for free to review through the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club.
I really liked this lip balm. There isn't any strong smell or taste. The packaging is very gender-neutral, so it can be used by anyone. I've bought some for my husband and my kids. The big perk to me for the kids is the lack of smell and taste as I've found when I buy cute flavoured ones, the kids lick their lips until they are even more chapped than before. Not with this lip balm. I put it on and they leave it on.
My husband isn't the type to use much in the way of skincare, but this looks basic enough that he isn't embarrassed to use it himself.
It isn't so thick that you can't layer a lipstick on over a light application, but it's thick enough that I can put it on before I go to sleep and still feel moisturized in the morning.
I think this will have a place on all of our nightstands for the foreseeable future.

I received this product to review through the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club.
I have to say, I have always been a big fan of this cream. It is so thick and luxurious that it feels like a top-dollar department store cream instead of a very affordable drug store one.
We always keep this in as both my kids and myself are prone to chapped skin in the winter. This cream alleviates it almost immediately.
I love the little tin too. It looks so classic. I'm happy they haven't felt the need to mess with an original that works.

This is one of my daughter's favourite toys. We bought a lot of Little People toys for our kids with fond memories of our own as children. My daughter really gravitated towards this one though. We bought the extra princesses, and she knows all of their songs now and sings along. This is one toy that gets played with every single day. It doesn't seem to be very hard on batteries either as despite the constant usage, I can't recall that last time I had to change the batteries. -

This is a great toy. My daughter received it as a gift for her first Christmas when she was 8 months old. She loved all the new little noise makers. Now, at three, she still plays with it frequently, as does her five-year-old sister. Whenever friends come over to play, it seems to be the first toy they gravitate to. It has so many pieces that a group of kids can play with it together to make a band. None of the pieces are showing any wear or damage, and it has endured nearly three years now of constant use. Great quality toy. -

This is one of those classic toys that you'll probably hold on to for the grandkids or pass along to another child you know. My daughter has played with this since she was about one year old. At first, it was more or less a noisemaker, but she soon used it for making patterns and practicing counting. We homeschooled her for her first year, and we used this in a lot of our math activities. Despite its daily use, it looks brand new. -

My three-year-old daughter loves this Elmo. It has a toddler mode and a preschool mode to ensure the play is age-appropriate. It also has a naptime/night-time mode, which we love. We switch it over at night, and my daughter hears Elmo sing her a few songs and ask for a kiss before switching to a few minutes of instrumental music.
He can play all kinds of games in his play mode. He has sensors that let kids play with him, hang him upside down, etc. He was definitely my daughter's favourite present this year.

Whoppers The Original Malted Milk Balls

These are delicious, chocolate-covered balls of crunchy, malted milk goodness. I love that each one feels like an indulgence, but since they are so light inside, you don't feel like you've overdone it if you eat a handful. I love getting these packaged in the milk-carton style, and they always have them packaged up nicely for Easter. -
