Unfortunately I get dandruff periodically and it’s really noticeable on my dark hair. I usually use a dandruff shampoo once a week to keep it under control.
This worked similarly to my usual Head and Shoulders but with a white cream based look instead and a milder scent. I thought it did a good job at cleaning. Not super sudsy. My hair was a little flat after using it but dandruff control was good. No flakes.
Great to have another option on the market!

Nexxus Lavish Volume Shampoo
This definitely helps my hair look fuller at the roots after shampooing. Leaves my hair feeling clean but not stripped. Light scent, not overwhelming. Great shampoo. The volume does not last for a second day and my roots still look a little oily the... +
This definitely helps my hair look fuller at the roots after shampooing. Leaves my hair feeling clean but not stripped. Light scent, not overwhelming. Great shampoo. The volume does not last for a second day and my roots still look a little oily the day after a wash. A little on the expensive side for me. -

La Roche Posay Cicaplast Mains
This is a nice hand cream that's unscented and lots of good ingredients like niacinamide and glycerin. It absorbs quickly and easily and my hands are not sticky after. It does not do much for my cuticles, but I find it's a good barrier in the winter... +
This is a nice hand cream that's unscented and lots of good ingredients like niacinamide and glycerin. It absorbs quickly and easily and my hands are not sticky after. It does not do much for my cuticles, but I find it's a good barrier in the winter when I'm extra careful about washing my hands. I find it a little pricey and I'm not convinced it's much better than other brands like Aquaphor, Eucerin or Cerave, which also make good lotions. -

Love, love, love!
Not sure why people think this is expensive... this is an amazingly priced Vitamin C product given the quality. The gold standard is SkinCeuticals, which is very $$$$ at $170 for 30 mL. I love that one but was looking for an alternative and Drunk Elephant is it! The texture, pH, opaque bottle, and scent is pretty much identical... the plus is that it has a pump application and it's only $100 for 30 mL. Appropriate pH and easy to apply - sinks right into my skin. I also like that part of their proceeds goes to support elephants. One of the best quality lines out there at a competitive price. My skin has been looking great since I added Skinceuticals and Drunk Elephant to the mix.

I had high hopes for this product. I #gotitfree as part of the Chickadvisor product review club.
My hair has started to get a few greys since having a kid, especially around my face. I hoped this would work to cover them up or as a bridge if some growth is showing after colouring. I found the colour didn’t take well on the greys compared to my natural hair - maybe the texture doesn’t absorb the spray well?
I also found it a bit messy to apply. The spray was quite strong and applied it in a concentrated area rather than more diffuse. I like the concept, but I think a paintbrush application would have worked better for the purpose of touching up spot areas and roots.

This is the gold standard. Super pricey at $170 for 30 mL, but it does work. With daily use, it lasts about 8-9 months for me. My skin has actually gotten much better even though I’m older now since using a Vitamin C serum. The downsides is the smell and it has a slightly tacky texture. I find that storing it in the fridge extends the product life. -
Ole Henriksen Truth Serum Vitamin C Collagen Booster
Started using this in the fall and love it! My skin has been quite clear and I think it’s been giving me a nice glow. I still have the areas of hyperpigmentation that haven’t faded, but overall my skin texture is smoother. Scent is amazing.

I've had our Instant Pot for a year and it's been a nice gadget to have - essentially does what our rice cooker and our slow cooker used to do separately.
I think the rice made is only so-so in it, but I love using it for hardboiled eggs (same amount of time but easier to peel) and for stews, pulled pork, and various casseroles. Definitely speeds up the cooking time so you can make something after work and have it ready that night.
Have recommended it to others!

This review is for the stoneware Denby line (not the cheaper line that is microwave safe only).
The stoneware Denby dishes are amazing. We registered for Denby when we got married and they are still going strong over a decade later! Many patterns will stick around for years (ours is still being made - we have two lines, Jet and White). Only a couple of broken items which were all due to me dropping them and one rice bowl with a small chip. Everything else looks like new.
The stoneware is durable and microwave and oven safe. Love that my dishes also match the serving pieces too!
