I really wanted to love this sunscreen, since it's not easy to find a mineral sunscreen that is SPF 50. I like it OK, and would use it when I need stronger protection, but it's not my favourite. The texture is nice, it comes out quite runny out of the tube, but feels thicker on the face. It rubs in well and I don't feel it much on the skin. However, when I use the recommended amount it leaves a white cast, even on my really pale skin. It gets slightly better after a while, but definitely makes me look ghostly. Luckily, make up goes over it quite well, so I can back some colour to my face. The combination of zinc oxide and titanium dioxide is great, as this sunscreen doesn't dry out my skin like pure zinc oxide ones do. I'm pretty sure this is unscented, since I didn't notice any scent and it's made for sensitive skin. In short, I would recommend it, but expect some white cast. -

I know it's not the most important thing about a deodorant, but I have to start by saying that I LOVE this scent. I usually reach for fresh scents when it comes to deodorants, so I was surprised by how much I love this one. The rose and vanilla smells yummy, sweet and fresh, but not overwhelming. This is emphasized by a fresh, cooling feeling upon application, as the stick is firm, but feels like a gel. It keeps me fresh for about half a day, which is what I expect from a deodorant, as I naturally sweat a lot. It works ok if reapplied, but better if I wash up before reapplying. The container is made of recycled plastic, which is great, and it's easy to adjust the deodorant up or down. It's tall and top heavy, so somewhat prone to tipping over. I have somewhat sensitive underarms, so I appreciate that it's baking-soda free. I would repurchase! -

This perfume is so lovely, a little bit sweet, a little bit floral, but not too overpowering and dare I say, a bit fresh, too. It's the perfect spring scent, and I've reached for it on every sunny day we've had since I received it about a week ago. As I suffer from migraines, I love that I can smell this perfume without getting a headache, and my dry skin loves that it doesn't contain any alcohol. The rollerball applicator makes it easy to apply the perfume exactly where I want it, and the sleek bottle is great for traveling or carrying in my purse for reapplication. I find that it lasts for about half a day, which I expected since it's not too strong. I will probably buy it again once I run out. -

I've been having this coffee in the afternoons for a few days, and I tried it in different ways. The coffee has a bold flavour, but it's not as strong as some other dark roasts I've tried and it's not bitter. It's also very easy to make. I like that I can customize it to suit my mood. It's great that the measurements can be easily adjusted for those that like their coffee stronger (or weaker, but I don't know anyone like that). -

I love citrus perfumes and own a few. Somehow, this one is still different from all the others I use. I starts off very fresh and bright, but it's also a bit flowery and dries down earthy. I would actually prefer it even zestier, but it's nice to have some variety among the perfumes I'm using. I love that this smaller bottle is a rollerball and not a spray, so I can control the amount better. It's also easier to apply it to pulse points on my neck without spraying my whole neck and chest. The bottle doesn't leak. As someone with dry skin, I love that the perfume is water based and doesn't contain alcohol, which is so rare to find. I will explore their other fragrances in the future.

My daughter has eczema, and a lot of usual body care products can sting her dry skin, especially during flare-ups, even if they're for kids. This Aveeno baby eczema care moisturizing cream has a nice lightweight consistency that absorbs fast, like a lotion, but doesn't sting at all. I love that she can get dressed right away without feeling sticky. Using daily, this cream helps keep her dry skin nice and soft, and she doesn't seem to be as itchy. Bear in mind that this is not for flare-ups, though, but for dry, itchy skin that normally accompanies eczema. For us it works well and we'll be buying it again. -

I really liked this product as an SPF. It feels a bit lighter than other mineral SPFs I've tried, and blends quite well. It doesn't look white on my skin, due to it being very slightly tinted, and it doesn't feel heavy on my skin. Makeup goes over it really well. It somewhat evens out my skin, but I have other products that do this better. Unfortunately, it doesn't feel as a moisturizer at all, and if I don't use my usual skincare underneath it, my skin feels quite dry. For reference, I have dry/combo skin, so for someone with less dryness this may work, although I really don't think it would. So I can recommend it as a great SPF, but not as a moisturizer. -

I have very dry skin, and usually need thicker body creams in the winter. I find this lotion a bit too lightweight for me at the moment, but it will be great for the spring and summer, as I had so layer another product over it on my dryer areas, like legs. It's a great daily lotion, too, since it's not greasy and absorbs really fast. I found that I could get dressed within a few minutes of after applying it. It was thick enough to keep the dry-skin-itchiness at bay. The scent is a mix of rosemary and mandarin, and the rosemary dominates at first. It feels very relaxing and grounding during application, but this won't be for everyone. However, I find that the mandarin dominates after it sinks in. Both scents smell very natural and linger, but don't feel overwhelming.

I love many Grown Alchemist products, and this one is not an exception. I have quite dry skin, this gentle, yet effective cleanser is just perfect for me. It foams, but not too much, which is not an issue for me, but it may seem wrong to some people and needs some getting used to. This doesn't take away from its cleaning power. It doesn't strip my skin, so it doesn't feel too tight pr itchy after showering. I LOVE the scent blend. I can actually smell all three flowers at different times, and I was particularly surprised at how strongly I can smell the chamomile, since that's usually a very gentle scent. However, I find that the rose dominates and slightly lingers on my skin, so if you're not into rose scents, this may not be for you. I on the other hand love it, since it smells very natural and doesn't affect my migraines.

My daughter LOVES Paw Patrol, and she loved this play set. The helicopter has a spinning blades and wheels, so it can run on the ground or fly in the sky, just like the one in the show. Skye fits in perfectly snug, and it's not hard to click in or take out. I like that her head turns for some posability. The size is good, so Skye won't get lost too easily, but the set doesn't take too much space, either. It's a nice addition to our Paw Patrol toys.
