I’d heard of this toothpaste before trying it as it was recommended to my spouse for his tooth sensitivity while getting chemo/radiation. I didn’t find the same benefits to my tooth sensitivity as he did, but I did notice some reduction in the white spots I sometimes have on my teeth. I had to switch back and forth with my usual sensitivity toothpaste, but I’ll be interested to see how longer use might improve my teeth. It has a nice smooth texture and is mild in flavour. Works well with an electric toothbrush - not an insane amount of lather compared to others. -

This felt good to use on my skin. It felt like my face soaked it right up every day when I used it. I didn’t see a huge difference in my skin, but it did feel softer and healthier. Visibly I felt my skin looked more nourished but didn’t notice any big change in the wrinkles I have forming. 7 days may not have been enough time! -

Very intrigued about a cleansing oil and was excited to try it. My skin is sensitive and prone to blackheads/breakouts, so it can be hard to find products that work for me. I don’t wear makeup so I can’t comment on how effective a remover it is.
It didn’t come with clear directions, so I had to Google it. I wonder if from other reviews there may have been some user error that affected people’s experience.
It smells amazing, goes on heavenly, and left my skin feeling very smooth and nourished without being oily. Unfortunately, I found my blackheads to be worse after using it. It didn’t have a deep cleansing effect like I was hoping it might.
I may still use it from time to time, but I’m not sure yet where it fits in my skin regimen. I really wanted to love it, but it just wasn’t the right fit for my skin.

FLAWLESS CLEANSE: FACIAL CLEANSER & MASSAGER, ROSE GOLD

This has a lot of great features which I really like! The USB charging base is fantastic. I like that it rests horizontally rather than vertically so it doesn’t get knocked around easily. The four cleansing and massage settings are great. You can see the movement in the brush head. I didn’t find it any more effective in the deep cleansing than the PMD Clean I already had, though it has a broader head with more nodules. The deep cleansing and massage setting (fourth) is my favourite. I love using it when applying my toner/serum. It helps with drainage and my face feels more relaxed after. My skin always feels smooth after use without being over-exfoliated. It’s easy to travel with and use daily. -

With dark hair, I’ve struggled with dry shampoos in the past as they always seem to leave behind residue no matter what I did. Not anymore! This dry shampoo gave my roots a nice little boost without leaving anything behind, giving me an extra day without having to keep my hair up between washes. It also smells amazing! Every now and then I would get a catch of its light and calming scent and it would be so refreshing. I gave this four stars only because it didn’t completely absorb the oil in my hair, but it was still a great improvement. Would definitely buy again! -

I was very excited to try this game with my family, and it did not disappoint! It’s a simple but fun concept. Anyone who enjoyed Kerplunk as a kid will get some nostalgic vibes from this.
The assembly of the game is simple. Placing the sticks in is easy enough for a kid under 4 to do, so we were able to involve the whole family. Game play is quick so it’s easy to get through a whole game even for short attention spans. There’s definitely some minimal strategy to it but the gameplay is simple, so there’s room for competition and easy fun.
One thing I was concerned about was the kinetic sand. Past experience with kinetic sand has left me finding small pieces of it throughout the house, or finding things hidden within the sand as is known to happen with those types of things (like Playdough). The game pieces allow for storage of the kinetic sand when not in use, which keeps it with the game and not being appropriated for other things. The majority of the sand was caught by the tray in the bottom during game play, which was great. Super easy and minimal clean up.
A couple rounds quickly prompted requests for another game and to play “a silly way”, which led to some creative variations. This quickly became a family favourite and will be a regular go-to for family game time!

This is a nice club soda with a clear but more subtle flavour than other brands. I didn’t find this one to be as aromatic, but the berry flavour is clear. It would be a nice compliment to other mixes or as a nice way to add a little extra something to a summer cocktail. This one doesn’t go as flat as quickly as some other brands I’ve found. All in all, a perfectly fine choice in flavoured club soda! -

This is very cute set with the rainbow/spring/garden theme. It comes with a little flower watering can as an accessory. The first thing my child asked was whether it came with a backdrop, like another set we have. This one does not, which would have been a nice addition. They are good quality little figurines that offer a lot of room for creative and open-ended play. Pandy Paws needs some help though. This figure just cannot stand on its own. It’s much too top heavy and impossible to balance. It will need to be constantly propped or held in play if he’s to be standing. Overall it’s a cute set that has been well enjoyed and easily incorporated into playtime! -

I’m not crazy about sorbets usually, but I love peach and was excited to try this flavour combo. It did not disappoint! This was delicious and fruity without being overly sweet. The texture was smooth and creamy even though there’s no cream to be found! A bowl went down so easy, it was tempting to have another one right after. This will be a summer staple for us! A refreshing (and gluten free!) treat! -
