This lip balm is wonderful. It has a soft, melting texture that feels very comfortable on my lips, without being too soft. The stick itself keeps its shape and doesn't melt in my purse, but glides easily over lips. It feels hydrating and makes my dry lips look healthy and nourished. This lip balm has no scent whatsoever. It's great for me to use on migraine days, since any scent can make my migraines worse, and it's a relief to have a lip balm I can still use for my dry lips on those days. This lip balm is not only unscented, but completely fragrance free, which is always the best option for those avoiding fragrance or for those with sensitive skin. I'll be buying this again! -

This lip balm is wonderful. It has a soft, melting texture that feels very comfortable on my lips, without being too soft. The stick itself keeps its shape and doesn't melt in my purse, but glides easily over lips. It feels hydrating and makes my dry lips look healthy and nourished. The almond scent is gentle and this would be a good choice for those that like scented products, but can't handle strong scents. -

This lip balm is wonderful. It has a soft, melting texture that feels very comfortable on my lips, without being too soft. The stick itself keeps its shape and doesn't melt in my purse, but glides easily over lips. It feels hydrating and makes my dry lips look healthy and nourished. The coconut scent is strong, but not overwhelming, and smells very natural, very like coconut. I will be buying this lip balm again! -

I always like to try pimple patches to find which ones will work best for the type of pimples I get. Since getting bangs I always get them on my forehead, so this was a good time to try these Nexcare Brand Thin and Transparent Acne Patches. I like the little red applicators, because they definitely help apply the patches without touching the sticky side, however, I also find that they add unnecessary plastic to the environment. Yes, it's nicer to apply them this way, but I never found it too much of a nuisance to warrant the additional plastic.
I find that these patches stick OK, but as explained in the directions, the skin has to be absolutely clean and dry. If these is even a little bit of oiliness, the edges won't stick. Even so, somehow they do stay on, but I was making sure to apply them right after cleansing just in case.
I tried these patches on multiple different pimples in various spots on my face. The more stubborn ones on my forehead were completely unaffected, and the patches didn't pull out anything. They were most successful on my cheeks, where they pulled out and almost completely healed a few smaller pimples. Fro the few smaller pimples on my nose some puss was pulled out (the patches get white spots if this happens), but the pimples themselves didn't look much different. Overall, I'm not very satisfied by their performance.

FoodSaver Cordless Handheld Food Vacuum Sealer

I wanted to have a Foodsaver system for so long, but I just don't have much storage or counter space in my tiny kitchen. This tiny device one is awesome! The whole thing, the charger and the device, is so small that it can fit into any corner, and the cable for the charger is pretty long so I could find a convenient spot. The bags are sturdy, and most importantly, this is easy to use. Easy to use means it's convenient, so it will be used and not just sit around and gather dust. I can now keep my cheese fresh longer, since I love to have a variety available at all times. I'm excited to learn what else will this device help me with, and definitely have their containers on my wishlist (containers are freezer safe, and I freeze a lot of things).

My only digestive issue is bloating and I don't really know which foods cause it, and these supplements helped somewhat. I am definitely less bloated, but it's not completely gone. These are chewable tablets, and they dissolve nicely with no chalky aftertaste. The only miss is that they have a berry flavour (mild and sweet), while I completely expected some tropical taste. Not a deal breaker of course. I will continue taking them to see if they'll work better with time, but I think it's worth trying them. The tricky thing is to remember taking them with three meals a day. -

Regular Tylenol doesn't work well for me, but this new version with caffeine is very good. I knew from before that caffeine works for my migraines (it may make them worse for some people), so I was excited to try these pills, and I'm happy to report that my migraine started subsiding about 30 minutes after taking one pill, which is comparable to other pain killers I use. I now have another option to put into a rotation, as using one type of pain killer a lot can damage certain organs. -

I've been a fan of L'Occitane for many years, and love their Almond line, but this is my first time trying this Delicious Shower Cream . This product has the same delicious scent as their OG shower oil, but it's creamier and a completely different sensory experience. Where I prefer to use their oil with a loofah, I love to use this cream directly on my skin. The whipped texture is heavenly. With my dry skin I always need to moisturize after a shower, but with this product I don't have to do it IMMEDIATELY, as my skin doesn't feel itchy nor tight. Just a heads up, this is a non-foaming shower cream, which I love, but some people prefer foaming products.

Listerine® Total Care Zero Alcohol Free Mouthwash

I've always considered it weird that we brush our teeth in the morning, then eat all day and don't brush again until the evening. After all that food my breath can become less than pleasant, so I've gotten into the habit of using Listerine mouthwash in the early afternoon to refresh my mouth. I LOVE the new ones without alcohol, both for their less intense taste and for religious reasons. Don't get me wrong, there is still a "bite", but it's not as strong as from the regular Listerine. The pink version is called mild mint, and it's slightly milder than my usual one (I normally buy cool mint). It's almost like spearmint compared to peppermint. However, it still gives me a much fresher breath, not to mention all the germ fighting. I will probably be switching to this pink one permanently. -

As a parent, I'm really disappointed by this product. When my child is sick, the last thing I want to worry about is the ingredients in the product I bought from the brand I trust. And although the ingredients in this cough syrup wouldn't be harmful in any way, the syrup is basically watered down honey with some peach flavouring and citric acid. It tasted like a slightly tart, barely peachy honey. It has the same effect on cough as giving honey (because that's what it is). The only positive I can find is that because it's more liquid than pure honey, it can be easier to swallow for younger kids. That's all. I love the brand, but not this particular product, and can't recommend it at all. -
