Aveeno products deliver so well and this moisturizer fits the bill. It’s an effective moisturizer that doesn’t go on greasy or too thick. A little goes a long way with the hyaluronic acid. It has the luminescent attributes of the Positively Radiant line that give your skin a literal glow up. Since I already regularly use the Positively Radiant daily moisturizer I didn’t notice as much of a change as others making the switch might, but my skin felt consistently nourished and tone maintained. I prefer a daily moisturizer with sunscreen (like the one I regularly use) so I wouldn’t opt to use this one during the day, but it would make for a great night cream. A deep nourishing moisturizer that left my skin feeling healthy and soft. -
NOMA Advanced Evertough Christmas Lights, 70 LED Lights, Multi-colour
These lights feel really well constructed. The cord is tough and the lights being one plastic piece makes me less concerned about any breakage. I don’t have any doubt that they would withstand harsh winter weather. These lights are BRIGHT!... +
These lights feel really well constructed. The cord is tough and the lights being one plastic piece makes me less concerned about any breakage. I don’t have any doubt that they would withstand harsh winter weather.
These lights are BRIGHT! The colours are so vibrant. I could only do a small railing of my home with this strand, but the impact was huge. Covering your whole house with these lights would definitely approach Griswold levels.
If you’re looking to invest in lights that will last, and bring holiday joy for years to come, these are a great choice!!

The kids lost their minds when this play set showed up. They love Paw Patrol and are excited for the new movie, so having a chance to explore some of it through play ahead of time was very exciting. This set incorporates a lot of different elements without having a huge footprint. It was really easy to assemble, and the moving parts are not too complicated for kids under 5. It seems of good quality and durable enough to withstand vigorous play. I love that it comes with two heroes (Chase and Skye) and two bad guys (Vee and Mayor Humdinger). Having Mayor Humdinger in particular was a welcome addition - we enjoy his ridiculousness! Too often these kinds of sets only come with one character, which can really stall the play potential if you don’t have more figures already. This set is ready to go for all kinds of creative scenario play. The open design makes it very easy to incorporate other figures too. This toy was a huge hit, and I suspect the jail cell will fill up quickly with the Mighty Pups on the case! -

Children’s Tylenol is always a fast and effective reliever of pain. When my kids get growing pains or fever, it makes a big difference to have something that brings them comfort fast. It’s even better when they enjoy the taste, so you don’t have to fight them about taking it. The grape flavour was a hit. I would personally opt for a dye-free formula - it only takes one middle-of-the-night med spill to see the value in a dye-free option. That’s my only point of criticism. Children’s Tylenol will always be a go-to in our home! -

This drink was delicious! Not overly sweet or with the aftertaste that often comes from sugar alternatives. Naturally sourced sweeteners! The coconut flavour made me think of tropical vacations.
Add the fact that it’s caffeinated and that keeps this busy mama going! With 65g of caffeine, you’re going to get a good dose of energy without it hitting as hard as an energy drink. Plus this one comes with the added benefit of some antioxidants!
Refreshing, flavourful, and energizing. It really was a bit of paradise in a bottle! I look forward to trying other flavours!

I have very sensitive skin on my face, and have had a hard time with hair removal creams in the past. I wasn’t sure how this one would go. I really like the applicator tip. It allows for an easy application with next to no mess. It smelled great. I used it on my upper lip and slightly onto my cheek (one stubborn spot). My skin was very smooth after and I felt that my tone was more even. It had no problem getting those finer hairs, including the “peach fuzz”.
Unfortunately, it did start to bother my skin. I was not able to have it on beyond the minimum time frame, which was not long enough to be effective on some of the coarser hairs. I still needed to go over with some tweezers after removal. My skin also felt very raw/sensitive in some parts for a day or two afterwards. Compared to other creams (not face specific) it was a much milder reaction than I have had previously.
This cream is a good way to quickly clean up some unwanted hairs, but may be best used in conjunction with other methods rather than a one-stop solution for those with sensitive skin.

I’m not usually one for iced coffee. I drink coffee mostly out of necessity, not desire - but I always opt for the flavoured options (the ones that taste less like coffee). This was an easy and tasty drink option! Filling up a travel cup with ice made it easy to brew iced. Using the strong feature on my Keurig kept the flavour from being diluted with the addition of ice. I found the coconut taste to be really really subtle. Somewhat present in aroma but more of an aftertaste than an initial flavour. It complemented the chocolate well. I find a lot of the chocolate flavoured coffees to have a really artificially sweet taste, but the addition of the coconut softened the overall flavour.
It took some fiddling to find the best way to brew it, but once I did it was an easy way to enjoy what felt like a more indulgent coffee (a departure from the norm!). Perfect timing for the first day of summer this week!

This ice cream. Just delicious. It is decadent without being too sweet. It strikes a perfect balance of offering a rich chocolate flavour without that strong sugar aftertaste. It is a really smooth ice cream with a velvety mouth feel (yeah I said mouth feel, we’re getting specific). The chocolate flavour felt more complex than your average chocolate ice cream. Despite the smaller carton size, it felt like it offered a generous yield. We got multiple servings out of it for our family, and we don’t skimp on the ice cream serving sizes usually! Another hit from Chapmans. Many thumbs up! -

I love this body wash! It has a very gentle scent that complements the goal of a calming bath time routine. It lathers well without needing a lot, so the bottle offers a good yield. It’s an effective cleanser for even the messiest kids! I have always shied away from any kind of soap on my kids’ faces for fears that it would be too harsh or drying. I did not find that with this face wash at all! It gave that extra bit of clean when water and a wash cloth alone wouldn’t cut it, without any harshness. On the whole it’s a gentle but effective soap for the gentle nature of kids’ skin generally, but especially for sensitive skin. -

This was a nice moisturizer for the kids. It has a soft and subtle scent that is soothing and not overpowering. It applies smoothly and is non-greasy. It’s an effective moisturizer, though not as effective as Aveeno’s eczema lotion at hydrating. I do like the feel of this moisturizer better - no residue and much easier to use as a daily lotion. It was gentle on the skin with no kind of adverse reactions. A great option for daily moisturizing! -
