I experienced a little mishap with an immersion blender while making soup the other week, and found myself with a good burn blistering up on my wrist.
Thankfully, I had a box of @bandaidbrandcanada Pro-Heal bandages on hand to expedite the healing process! These band-aids are equipped with a sealed hydrocolloid gel pad to promote faster healing and minimize the appearance of scars for minor injuries.
I used half a package over the course of 5 days because I found that the adhesive wasn't strong enough for such a high-flex joint like the wrist. Despite this, I was happy with the results from the hydrocolloid pad and believe that this contributed to the faster healing time and overall appearance of the scar.
These bandages are a great option to consider for burns, cuts, and scrapes, which have the potential to create scarring

I recently had the opportunity to try the 3M Nexcare Acne Patches. The packaging describes the patches as "thin & and transparent," and I was pleased to find this claim to be highly accurate. The box comes with 39 in 2 different sizes.
I appreciate the easy peel tab feature, which made a noticeable difference in the ease of peeling the patch from the backing, although I found the removal of the tab itself once applied to the skin to be a little cumbersome.
Once applied, I was delighted that the patch was nearly seamless on the skin. It did not feel heavy or thick on the skin and was nearly invisible. I confidently went about my day, forgetting that it was even there! After nearly 12 hours of wear, it peeled off with minimal residue, and the blemish itself was gone.
The price per patch is far more palatable than many other similar products on the market and delivers similar results. Overall, I'm very pleased with these Nexcare patches and will be buying soon.

I'm a big fan of L'Occitane Artichaut and knew that I would enjoy this cream, but little did I know just how much! When compared to Artichaut, Milk Concentrate provided more softness over time and did not feel heavy or oily after applying. It leaves a very subtle sheen to the skin to enhance your own radiance. The gentle scent doesn't give off any artificial vibes - just vanilla and almonds. It is sweet and subtle, but it lingers throughout the day.
Almond oil is high in vitamin E and helps to soothe dry skin and protect against water loss. Vitamin E can also help to minimize the appearance of scars, fine lines, and stretch marks. Although this is not a named benefit of this cream, it may help in the long run.
I have really enjoyed using this cream, and I didn't think that anything could knock Artichaut out of the top shelf, but this one might be king!

Although I have only had to use 1 patch so far, I can say with confidence that it was easy to apply, no fighting with the adhesive (on or off!), and it works quickly to target redness and make it all but go away FAST!
The patches are nearly translucent on the skin and do blend in much nicer than others.
PanOxyl is a trusted brand for acne and blemish treatment, and it comes as no surprise that their blemish patches would pack a serious punch in that department!
This patch is not compatible under makeup, unlike some others on the market, so I find it's best applied before bed so that you can start the day fresh. The patches are also quite sizeable and overkill for a smaller blemish. It would be nice if these were offered in 2 sizes. I tend to find blemish patches overall to be quite expensive, but I appreciate the convenience factor.

Having recently been on antibiotics following a procedure which left me compromised and with a minor wound infection, it was perfect timing to try these pills. I have been taking the recommended dosage of 2 pills/day since they arrived and I'm happy to report that I have not experienced any UTI symptoms. As someone who often ends up with a UTI following antibiotics, this was such a welcome relief!
These 240mg Cran-Max pressed caplets are easy to swallow, loaded with a 34:1 ratio of 🍒 cranberry fruit extract, and left no bitter aftertaste in my mouth. For those with sensitivities, they contain no artificial colors, dairy, gluten, wheat, or yeast. Just the good stuff!
Highly recommend that anyone who has ever experienced multiple bouts of UTI in their life consider adding a Cranberry supplement such as this one to their daily routine for optimal health.

My life lately leads to a lot of headaches. When I'm not rushing between meetings or hours-deep into eye strain reviewing budget reports, I'm busy taxi-ing a teenager back to forth to their summer job, or woefully attempting to silence the dogs from the knock of Amazon deliver driver 🤦♀️
I don't have time to stop and rest, but the headache commands intervention pronto. Insert Tylenol daytime relief. These extra strength eZtabs offer fast relief from headaches without any drowsiness thanks to the addition of caffeine.
The eZtab coating makes these pills a breeze to swallow, and they dissolve quickly for fast-acting relief from mild aches, pains, headaches, and more.
The package comes with 20 tablets, but I would love to see a larger size format (think Costco!) so I don't need to buy as often. Will 100% purchase these in future.

These handy little bug bite patches from @sarnalotion are great for quick relief from bug bites. This summer has been exceptionally bad for mosquitoes, and as an active family, we kind ourselves perpetually covered in bites!
Nobody enjoys the itchy, irritating feel of a mosquito bite, and it's not easy to fight the urge to scratch that itch! Sarna to the rescue! Using a proprietary blend of aloe, chamomile, and witch hazel to soothe, these little patches pack a mean punch! 👊 They are also resistant to sweat, seamless and nearly invisible when applied, so we don't have to limit our activities while wearing them.
My only grievance with the product is the quantity versus price-point. At nearly $15 on Amazon for only 24 patches, these patches don't last long and are reserved for the worst bites or clusters of bites only.
Despite the price, I can say confidently that this product works and provides respite from intense itching 😬

I love a clean mouth and fresh breath, but I struggle to rinse with most full flavour, alcohol-based mouthwash due to the harsh taste and heavy mouthfeel. Listerine has come to my rescue with the Total Zero mouthwash in mild mint. After a week of daily use, I can say with Total confidence that this is now a fan favourite in my household!
Not only does this mouthwash kill germs and bacteria that live in your mouth, but it protects and strengthens your enamel to prevent cavities and kills bad breath for hours (even after noshing on some garlic-heavy meals! 😋). It can even reduce signs of gingivitis!
✅️ No harsh mint flavour 👌

✅️ Alcohol-free 🍸
✅️ Fresh breath for up to 12 hours 🍃
✅️ Helps prevent cavities 🦷
✅️ Maintain a beautiful white smile 👄

This stunning fixture is simple, stylish, and a breeze to install. The fabric-wrapped cord and white base gives a clean, sleek look, while the light rattan shade provides a neutral aesthetic to the space. We opted for a simple, warm white LED bulb to complete the look. The shade casts a lovely warm glow on the ceiling in the evening, and I appreciate the overall simplicity of the design.
Installation was quick and easy with easy to follow instructions. From box to ceiling in under 30 minutes! This is a simple project that any beginner DIYer can handle and makes a huge impact on the room.
