I am completely sold on Neutrogena Hydro Boost Night Pressed Serum. I have been using this serum each night after cleansing my skin and I have been applying it while my skin is still damp. The serum is a gel-like consistency and has a light refreshing scent. It goes on smoothly and dries clean without any residue. Since using this and the Hyaluronic Acid Serum, my skin has never felt or looked better! It is so fresh and hydrated! This is definitely saying something, considering I am averaging 4-5 hours of interrupted sleep a night nursing a newborn. If it can give this tired mom dewey and youthful looking skin, just imagine what it can do for you! Try it for yourself and I think you'll be impressed. -

I kept hearing people talk about Hyaluronic Acid, so I was thrilled to get to sample this Serum and I honestly loved it. I recently saw a video advising that you use it with water to help it work most effectively, so that's what I did. Step 1: Wash my face with my cleanser and microfiber cloth. Step 2: Ensure my face was damp. Dispense 4-5 drops into my wet hand, rub both hands together, and apply to my face and neck. Step 3: Apply my regular daily moisturizer. I used it each morning prior to applying some very light make up (mostly pressed powder and mascara). Honestly, my skin has never felt so hydrated or looked so fresh and this is significant because I have a newborn and I am getting way less sleep than usual.
The Serum is scent free, which I like and goes on so nicely, without being sticky or tacky, and leaves my skin feeling plump and tight. I feel like my skin looks much more youthful and that it has made my smile lines much less noticeable. I plan to use this regularly and will buy it, when I run out.

Our family loved using this foaming hand soap. We were excited to try this as we have been using more unscented and fragrance free products. One pump dispenses a good amount of soft foamy suds that made my hands feel clean and fresh and that also rinsed clean. There is no obvious scent, but if you hold your soap covered hands to your face, there is a very slight pleasant and clean smell. There is no chemical smell, like some fragrance free products have. Overall, we really enjoyed using this product and will plan to buy again. The only downside is that foaming soap does not last very long (approximately 2 weeks of daily use), however that is consistent with all foaming soaps compared to liquid soap pumps. -

I am really enjoying this body wash. I have been switching more and more to unscented and or fragrance free products, and so I was really excited to try this body wash. It is thick and forms a nice lather, so a little goes a long way. The directions recommend using a wet body sponge or pouf, which I actually haven't done yet, but it still forms a great lather just in your hands. This body wash has a very mild and pleasant scent, which I think is from the final ingredient: Cananga Odorata Flower Oil. Sometimes fragrance free products smell kind of chemical, but this one smells really fresh and clean. Using this product has been very refreshing and it's great piece of mind that it's free from dyes, parabens, phthalates, silicones, frangrances, and gluten. I would definitely recommend this product and plan to buy it again. -

I received this product free in exchange for my honest review. I really enjoyed the natural ingredients and full flavors of this smokey, spicy, and slightly sweet Mott's Clamato Reserve. I'd have to say it made one of the best caesar's I've ever had. The spice level left a wonderful flavour in my mouth, without the heat that many spicy foods have. It's flavoured with smoked jalapeno peppers, tomato, vinegar, horseradish, molasses, purple carrot, onion, anchovies, garlic, clam broth, bell peppers, garlic, and celery.
I realize that this is made of all natural ingredients, which are going to be more expensive. My only complaint would be that it is a little pricey, coming in at just over twice the price of the regular Mott's Clamato. I would like to buy this again, but might wait for it to go on sale.

I got the chance to try Becel Plant Based Bricks for free and I choose to try the Salted brick. It's a vegan alternative that supposedly "tastes, cooks, and baked like dairy butter." By all accounts it looks just like regular dairy butter, as it comes in a brick wrapped in foil and has the same colour and consistency of dairy butter. The coupon I received came with a recipe for "butter" tarts, and since I have made butter tarts with dairy butter recently, I thought it would I great test to see how much it bakes like regular dairy butter. I was pleasantly surprised with how delicious they were. My whole family had seconds and I never told them they were made with plant based "butter." Between bites, my daughter said, "you should make more of these," which was actually shocking because I don't think she really liked my last batch of traditional dairy butter tarts! The only thing I noticed was that the pastry tarts didn't seem to brown as much as when I have used dairy butter. I actually turned the oven to broil for 2 mins at the end and that helped. They came out perfectly cooked though, and were wonderfully flaky. I am a regular baker and I definitely plan to buy these bricks again, especially if I'm making something for friends who are vegan or dairy free. I'm looking forward to trying this in my strawberry shortcake recipe. -

I was excited to recieve this product for free as part of the product review club to test and review. I have very dry skin and this ointment is instantly soothing and moisturizing. I love using it on my problem spots of particularly cracked skin, such as my knuckles, elbows, and heels. It has a soft applicator tip, so I get moisture exactly where I want it and always get just the right amount of product. It also leaves the tip clean, which is nice for future applications. #freeproduct #aveenoactivenaturals #tryAveenoCrackedSkinRelief -

I regularly use Aveeno products, especially their foaming face wash, face lotion, and sunscreen, so I was excited to recieve this product for free as part of the product review club to test and review. I have very dry skin and my hands get especially dry and cracked from frequent handwashing and from the cold weather. This product is instantly soothing and moisturizing. And the results get better with continued use, leaving my hands soft and nourished.
Also, I love the natural ingredients in this product and that it is safe to use on my toddler's skin. Her face often gets red and wind burnt during the winter and even the spring and this balm has been amazing at soothing and restoring her skin. She doesn't always like when I put lotion on her face, as some have a tendency to sting, but this is extremely calming and smooth, so she has always let me put it on her. We will definitely be using this regularly. #freeproduct #aveenoactivenaturals

You know that first bite of ice cream? How it’s so delicious and satisfying? Well, every bite of this frozen yogurt is like that first bite! It has a rich and creamy flavour from the peanut butter ripple, and I love the texture of the chocolatey chunks and crunchy toffee pieces. I introduced this frozen yogurt to a couple friends of mine, and now we can barely keep it in the house for more than a few days before our families have eaten the whole carton. It’s just that yummy! -
