Knorr Chicken Boullion cubes are great when you're making a soup, stew or anything that needs a chicken base. They are inexpensive and easy to use. I like them much more than the powdered chicken stock powders I have used in the past. Especially Giant Value Chicken Stock. I find other brands I have tried taste too salty and a little off. But with Knorr as long as you add the recommended water for each cube it tastes delicious every time. They come individually packaged in a foil wrapper to ensure freshness. They are also available in an assortment of other flavors such as beef, pork and vegetable. Knorr will definitely be my go to brand for a base. -

Bonapiel beauty and youth serum comes in a pump style bottle that looks like it came from a high end cosmetic department. I only need to use two pumps and it covers me entire face, neck and décolletage. The first thing I noticed when I applied this to my skin is how cool and refreshing it feels. The second thing I noticed is how easy it glides across the skin and how well it absorbs. The serum is not watery like some serums tend to be, but has more of a gel like consistency. It doesn't feel sticky on the skin after being absorbed. have been using this serum for a little over a week and I definitely notice my skin tone is more even and my face seems brighter and more luminous. My pores seem to have shrunk drastically and my face feels tighter and appears slightly more plump than usual.
The expiration date on the bottle I received says 06/2018 so the expiration is far off. I have recently started adding a drop of serum and mixing it with two drops of foundation so it goes on smoother cause previously my foundation would look dry in spots. Since adding the serum to my concealer I notice it goes on smoother and I no longer have dry spots. It seems to make the concealer glide better over the fine lines under my eyes rather than cake into them. I'm so happy I found another purpose to use serums that makes my beauty routine easier. I would definitely recommend serums to anyone that does not already use them cause you will find noticeable improvements in your skin. I especially recommend vitamin c serums. They have so many health benefits to the skin. I gave this a four star rating cause I'm unsure it lifted anything but it sure did make my skin feel slightly tighter and more firm.

These earrings are made up of a round cut cubic zirconia, surrounded by a halo of smaller crystal clear zirconia stones. The focal point of these earrings are the blue zirconia further accentuated by the mounting claws that hold it in a place. The earrings themselves are 18 k gold plated. The overall length of the earring is 0.38 inches which I found the stud length was a little longer than I'm accustomed to but not overly big.
The halo of stones surrounding the blue zirconia sparkle and catch the light nicely enhancing the center stone. I think this gives the earrings a more expensive look. Despite the physical appearance of these earrings they don't feel heavy in the ears.These earrings are pictured as saphire blue, But I received them in an aquamarine color but they are lovely just the same. The post on the back of these earrings are not centered which may be an issue for certain cuts but surprisingly these ones are off centered but still sit nicely in the ears. The earrings are he'd on by a butterfly clasp. I do find the post slightly longer than it needs to be but it seems most jewellery I have purchased has been like this lately.
These earrings have an heirloom design that looks classic and timeless like it has been handed down from generation to generation. It comes in a small velour jewellery box that would make it presentable as a gift for a loved one or a gift to yourself. I have not had a reaction so far since they are gold plated and if the plating does come off the manufacturer on Amazon offers a three year warranty so that tells me that the seller is confident in their product. To me it seems like a win, win situation.

This aftershave has a light woodsy fragrance with a hint of spice that is manly yet not overpowering. My husband shaved last night and he is cursed with extremely sensitive skin and has to endure razor burn fir the better half of a week after shaving, however with this product the burn was considerably less the following day. He used two sprays in the palm of his hands and applied it as he would any other aftershave. He told me it felt like a very light oil and said it spread easily on his skin and left a refreshing cooling sensation as well as leaving his skin softer and smoother.
Since this aftershave does come in a very understated, 40 ml bottle it tells me that you are actually paying for the quality of the product as opposed to fancy packaging. This product is made of pure aromatic oils and its alcohol, and solvent free as well as free of suhates, paraben said and artificial fragrances. This product is hypoallergenic which makes it perfect for my husband who has extremely sensitive skin.
As a woman I love that the scent lingers on his skin for hours but it's not overly strong and overpowering. I need to be up close and personal to smell the fresh, clean scent of this aftershave and for me that is the mark of a good perfume or aftershave. I definitely hate when an aftershave is so strong or the person overloads on it and you can smell the person the other person a mile away. Sometimes a little goes a long way.
Although this aftershave is quite pricey keep in mind if you shave one to two times a week like my husband does this bottle will probably last you almost a year.

Maybelline Baby Lips goes on Smooth and shiny and leave your lips feeling well moisturized. Although they classify this as a balm I myself would consider it more of a gloss. They come in nude as well as an assortment of colors. I myself have it in minty sheer and pink shock. I was a bit worried about pink shock cause I thought it might be too bright but it only added a light tint which is what I like as I mostly prefer a more natural color on my lips. I find the Moisturizing effect is long lasting although I usually reapply frequently through of the day.
The tube looks like Maybelline has these directed more towards young teenage girls as opposed to an older more mature crowd. Thankfully I'm not one that concerns myself with packaging all too much. This lip balm is one I only use when my lips are already in good condition. If my lips were chapped this would not be the product I would use. For chapped lips I'm completely devoted to blistex. But for the price and the fact that it has light, natural colors I would definitely purchase this product again.

Multiflex Extra Strength Cream works well at getting rid of muscle and joint pain almost immediately. My mother was having joint and muscle pain for quite some time in her shoulder and upper arm. She rubbed a bit of this into both areas and within minutes the pain was gone. She did say that while she rubbed it in she felt a warning sensation but soon after it left her chilled and feeling cold. But the pain went away for roughly an hour. It says on the directions to use 3-4 times daily for up to 7-10 days. This product does exactly as advertised. The only complaint one could have is the menthol and camphor scent is quite strong so I'm unsure you would want to wear it going out. But on the bright side if you had a cold it would work wonders breathing it in as it would most likely act as a decongestant. -

When I seen The Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix for two dollars a box at Walmart I had to try them, and I'm very glad I did.They're so easy to make. You simply add 3/4 cup of cold water, and 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese to the premade mix then once mixed and in dough form to drop onto a greased baking sheet and cook 14-16 minutes. I cooked mine for 14 minutes and they were perfect. Any longer and they would have been too overcooked for me.
Once removed from the oven there's a pouch of garlic Herb that you mix with butter and brush on the top and they are ready to serve. We had ours alongside of Creamy Bacon Carbonara and they were a hit. They were somewhat crunchy on the outside but light and fluffy on the inside. They were absolutely delicious! I will definitely get a few more boxes to have on the side when we have soups and chowders as well.

This potty is an exact mini replica of a regular toilet but made of plastic instead of porcelain. I believe this will make it easier for my daughter to transition from her mini potty to the regular toilet.
One of the cute features this potty has is the toilet handle actually makes flushing noises. This is a great way of teaching your child to flush after doing their business.
There's a storage on top where you can put some wipes but it's very small and could only fit a few at a time. If you remove the tank lid there's a storage as well which is a good size. You could put a few books to keep your child entertained so they will stay put on the potty.
The toilet sit lifts and theres a removable bowl making clean up easy. Since the whole thing is made of plastic it's easy to clean.
It does come with a splash guard for boys but since I will only have girls using this potty it's not a feature I will use. I did read reviews before I purchased this potty and many complaints is the splash guard don't stay in place.
The only real issue I have with this potty is the grip on the bottoms. It seems they used a foam material but I personally think a rubber grip on the bottom would work better at keeping it from sliding on the floor.
Toilet training can be an arduous task but this mini replica toilet will make it undoubtedly easier. This is the perfect height for my daughter and although it might take a while to train her since she's still quite young I'm looking forward to the day when she voluntarily wants to sit on her potty and go.

Special K Barbeque Cracker Chips are a great alternative to regular chips and a little less guilt free. For some reason when I first bought them I thought they were going to taste something like rice cakes but in my opinion they taste so much better. They are very light and crunchy. The barbeque taste is more sweet and tangy rather than spicy. Theres no artificial flavours or colours and only 80 calories in 17 crackers. They are a source of fibre, protein, vitamin A and iron so at least you are getting some nutritional value.
The price is a little more expensive than chips. Every time I purchased a box they cost anywhere between 2.50$-2.90$ a box, but in my opinion they are well worth the money. I'm sure if they cost a little less it would make them more appealing for others to buy these rather than regular potatoe chips. I have to admit I prefer the sour cream and onion but the barbeque is a close second.

I love how Eyeko Black Mascara Drama & Curl defines my eyelashes but doesn't make them look overly dramatic. When I want to look more natural I only wear one coat. If I want my eyelashes to look noticeably longer and as if I curled them I apply two to three coats. This mascara doesn't clump my lashes together as some of them tend to do. Instead it seperate and lifts them. If you're looking for length and curl this mascara is great. If you're looking for volume look elsewhere. Eyeko Black Mascara has keratin and Shea Butter which helps condition your lashes and make them healthier. It doesn't come in the conventional packaging but in a squeeze tube to ensure you get as much of the product as possible. The mascara wand itself is curved which really helps lift and seperate your lashes. Worn all day it doesn't smudge and its easy to remove with makeup remover even though it's water proof. It's definitely a keeper in my makeup bag. -
