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. -

These Candy Glow Tinted Lip Balms are not only luxurious, but very hydrating. They fit into my natural looking makeup routine so well, and I've also been wearing them on no makeup days to just add a hint of colour to my naturally purplish/pale lips. This colour, 1B, appears pink, but it swatches clear and just gives some shine to my lips. The scent is fruity-fresh, but I won't guess which fruit. -

This lotion is really great. I love that although it's unscented, it doesn't have an off-putting scent (if you use unscented products you'll, know what I mean by this). It absorbs really fast, and it truly is non-greasy. This makes it great for moisturizing after the morning shower, when I want to get dressed immediately after the shower. I've also been using it as a hand cream throughout the day, as it doesn't make my hands sticky and keeps them looking better. -

I have very dry skin, and if I don't moisturize immediately after a shower my skin feels very dry and itchy. Not with this body wash. It's creamy, it cleanses perfectly, but doesn't make my skin feel tight or itchy. I still need to moisturize, but I'm not uncomfortable to the point of having to rush to do it right away. -

When I first opened this blush I was a bit shocked, since the blush looks very orange, but when applied it tones down to a peach with just a hint of pink. It's great for warm or neutral undertones. It feels exactly as the name describes it, silky smooth, blends really well with fingers or a brush, and sets quickly. I recommend tapping it in for the most natural effect. One dot is perfect for a natural looking blush, but it can be more intense with 2-3 dots and it can be layered to achieve the perfect level of blush you prefer. It's not glowy, I'd say it's more matte, but not drying. The best of all, I wore it for 12 hours straight and it didn't fade. The packaging is smooth and luxurious, and the lid clicks on. It has a scent that is more chemical than perfume-y, but the amount I apply is so small that the scent dissipates immediately. -

This is the best setting spray I've ever used. It literally glues my makeup to my face, but after the initial shock I can't really feel it on my face. It's fantastic for hot weather and keeps my makeup looking great all day. I sweat a lot, so I would be a drippy mess as soon as I head out without it, and it keeps the skin tint I use from settling into my fine lines. I just learned that it's also vegan which is a big plus! Once you use this setting spray, you can't use any other one. It's simply the best!

I've been using Command Picture hanging strips for a while now, but I can never have enough. The extra large strips are great for large photos and paintings as they can hold up to 20 lbs, but I love that I can also use them for smaller ones (just using less strips). The picture hanging strips definitely have a learning curve, but once I got used to them I didn't need instructions anymore. And they always hold well, I never had anything fall when using these strips. The only thing I find tricky is using a level and sticking the picture on the wall at the same time, but it works if I tip the frame forward to align first, then lower the bottom part towards the wall (I hope this makes sense). Again, once I got used to this, it worked like a charm.
