I received the Flawless Cleanse: Facial Cleanser and Massager from Nair Canada for free in exchange for an honest review. The hand size facial cleanser is so small, super lightweight, and super pretty (rose gold!) It’s easy to recharge (via USB) and the 3 modes are different enough to fit most people’s needs. The soap lathers up really easily and it was so soft on my skin. I used it in the shower and I can attest that it is waterproof and definitely safe to use wherever your cleaning routine is.
That being said, the massager is a bit too gentle for my cleaning preference. I wish the massager mode can go stronger, maybe 3 times stronger. The lack of intensity would be my only complaint. Maybe it is better for my skin to have a soft massager, but personally I prefer a slightly stronger scrub for my end of day face cleaning routine.
The massage vibration does feel pretty good though, and keeps the circulation going. The silicone head is easy to clean and ultra-hygienic, and just generally so soft to touch. I would keep it in the shower for my cleaning routine, since it does keep my hands free while washing.

I received the McCafé French Vanilla Coffee K cup for free in exchange for an honest review. K cups itself is one of the best invention and makes our morning routine so much easier, now with the new McCafe French Vanilla, it’s even better! It’s a medium roast with a lovely hint of French vanilla, just sweet enough you probably don’t need to add any extra sugar (yay for better health!) and there’s no artificial flavours so you can drink easy knowing it’s good for you. I’ve always gone for ethically sourced beans and this one is 100% ethically sourced and Rainforest Alliance Certified.
Love this new flavour and the 12 pack is perfect for the holiday season when you have people over. Knowing each cup helps support the well-being of coffee farmers, their communities and the surrounding forests and wildlife makes the holidays even merrier. Cheers!

I received the Swimways Hydro Paddle & Pickleball Set for free in exchange for an honest review. Pickleball is all the hype right now and we took advantage of the warm weather and tried out this new sport in the playground this afternoon – it’s so easy to learn and it’s super fun – kids and adults alike! The paddle is regulation sized so it’s good for adults and older kids (my 6yo had a little trouble holding it with one hand but he got the hang of it really quickly and actually beat his sibling in a game!)
Google pickleball and you will find there’s tournaments and professionals playing it, we love it! The rules are super easy, we didn’t play with a net, just played hitting the ball in turns without letting it drop to the group, but you can play it like tennis as well. I think we need to get a couple more sets so the whole family can play together. The paddle is made of sturdy and great quality – haven’t tried out the waterproof side yet but having run it under a faucet, it holds up. Can’t wait to bring it with us camping this summer!

I received the NOMA Hayden 3-Reversible Blade 6-Speed Ceiling Fan with Dimmable LED & Remote, 44-in, Brushed Nickel for free in exchange for an honest review. It’s a beautiful fan, and the fan power is perfect for a small bedroom. Here’s my review on the installation and ease of use (my partner and I have installed 6 ceiling fans).
This is definitely a 2-people-job, so have someone with you when you install it. The instructions are a bit unclear and the order is not in the best sequence. Make sure you find the light box (or stud) and hook up the safety wire FIRST. The instructions were to install the first panel but we had to take it off and hook up the safety wire, as there was no access to the light box once the first panel was installed. A bit of a design flaw if you ask me, but after hooking up the wire, it’s a breeze following the instructions until you connect the wires. The booklet goes forward a few pages to hook up the wires, then you have to go back a few pages to go back to installing the rest of the light exterior. Not a big deal, just a heads up for those who loves to follow concurrent pages. We stripped one of the wall screws (not by accident) so maybe have a few spares if you can just in case.
The remote pairing was super easy, there’s a short lag (maybe 2 seconds) from turning on the main light switch to seeing the light bulb turn on. The BEST function, is the DIMMING function. There’s multiple shades of light (no more choosing white only or yellow light), and on top of that, you can still choose to DIM the light! It’s amazing! The blades are wonderful for a small sized room, the blade is beautiful and the wind is really strong. I cannot wait to use this when the weather is warmer!
Short side note, the installation, as with most house projects, will get a bit messy (from screwing holes, drilling into the light box, or just general packaging). We cleaned up using the NOMA Vacuum Cleaner and the vacuum light and the ability to turn was AMAZING and it only took us 3 minutes to clean up everything. NOMA, you’ve done it again – thank you for being a trusted brand!

The NOMA iQ app was super easy to install and connecting the different devices (I had the light bulb and a Wi-Fi outlet plug). The ability to have a “room” setting is really great. Every device took less than 5 mins to set up (with Bluetooth and location and home Wi-Fi password). The only criticism is there’s a small lag when turning devices on/off, and changing colours / dimming / brightness on the LED light bulb. Voice control works great (I have a Google device) and the scheduled time “Experience” is great especially for the outlet plugs for when I want it turned off in the middle of the night.

I received the NOMA iQ™ A19 E26 Base Smart Dimmable LED Light Bulbs, Tunable White/Colour 2-pk for free in exchange for an honest review. Remember those days where you can’t decide or remember if you have white or yellow light blubs? Well those days are GONE! This new NOMA Smart LED light bulb will let you pick ANY color available on the colour wheel, plus it DIMS! Whatever or whenever your mood strikes, just pull out the app and change the color / temperature / brightness! It’s super easy to set up (only took less than 5 mins to connect via the NOMA IQ app, plus WiFi network and Bluetooth, make sure you are on 2.4 GHz then you are fine). Once connected, you can turn the bulb on/off, and change the colour up to your heart’s content. The only thing I would criticize is there’s a few second lag when changing the light color and when dimming. Not the end of the world but if you are trying to change the color for fun / just showing off, then you might want to do it another way. I’m keeping one at my desk, because orange light makes me happy! And the other one I am leaving in the living room for when we want to dim the lights to watch TV / have a glass of wine.

I received the NOMA iQ Smart Wifi Outlet Plug, 2-pk, Compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant in white for free for an honest review. This Wifi Plug is so small, so modern and blends in so well with everything else in the house. This little cube is so powerful, it connects to your home wifi and you can control the on/off whenever and wherever you are. The little light indicates whether it’s on, off, or pairing (when flashing). You hold the button for a few seconds for it to begin pairing.
The set-up process was super easy. You download the NOMA iQ app, create an account, add the device, turn Bluetooth on, connect to your home Wi-Fi (make sure it’s 2.4 GHz) and let the app do its job. Within 5 minutes I was able to control the outlet on my phone (see the photo). The interface is so easy to use, just a touch and you know whether there’s power going through the outlet. What a gem! I tested it on a night lamp but I am currently using it for my 3D printer, so I can set a timer for when it needs to go on / off. The 3D printing sometimes happens overnight because it takes so long, the Wi-Fi plug would help give me a peace of mind knowing the power is off when the printing is done (I have an estimate timing) and keep the house safe from unexpected outage.
The ”Experience” on the app is super useful. I used the scheduled trigger to let the plug run to a certain hour (in my case with the 3D printing, at 4am), and it will go off. The timer is super useful for other uses like if you want your Christmas lights on only till midnight, you don’t have to worry about going outside to unplug the lights! And because this pack comes with 2 outlets, I'm going to do that right now!

I received the DAP Canada AMP Advanced Modified Polymer All Weather Window, Door and Siding Sealant 266mL in white color for free in exchange for an honest review. I love DAP products, it’s affordable, easy to use, and best of all, they work and last a long time! There’s always something to fix around the house, and just so happens there’s a crack at the garage door that needed a sealant. I put the AMP Advanced Modified Polymer Sealant on, as usual the sealant is easy to open and apply – ever so smoothly, and it dried in 18 minutes. It was a damp and humid day but the sealant dried so quickly it was amazing and I’m really happy with the results. The white sealant looks okay on the door and it’s in the garage so I might not even have to paint over it (will let my husband be the judge of that lol) – all in all, I think DAP did it again and I have one less crack to worry in the house!

I received the Hero Mighty Patch Original for free in exchange for an honest review. These acne patches are so popular these days, and the best thing is… they WORK! Man I wished I had these when I was a teenager. As a woman in my 30s I still get acne and the Hero Might Patch is a godsend. Just stick it on before bed (after washing your face, I left out toner/lotion and just put the patch on), and sleep – I didn’t feel a thing. The next morning, there’s a small white glob of the zit that was coming out, and my pimple is no longer red. Sorry my picture is a bit odd, the angle was too awkward for the lens to focus – but you can see how smooth it is compared to the rest of my face. The Hero Mighty Patch is made with hydrocolloid and was originally designed for use as a medical bandage. No wonder why my zit healed up so quickly. No more acne treatment that dries out your skin and make it tingly – you won’t even feel the patch is there, and just let it take all the gunk out! -

I received the Grown Alchemist Hand Cream for free in exchange for an honest review. First of all, LOVE the tube, it’s a black elegant and the (steel?) material is one of those that you can roll up so you don’t waste anything at the end of the tube. The vanilla and orange peel mix smells absolutely wonderful and super refreshing. The hand cream is not greasy at all and my skin absorbed it almost immediately. I can still type on my laptop after without worrying it’ll leave stain marks on the keys. Have been using the hand cream for 2 days straight now and after I use hand sanitizer when I’m outside as well. It’s working great and my knuckles and hand cuticles are super soft. Again, love the smell, it’s so relaxing I wish they have a perfume for it! Perfect for keeping it in your handbag or just around your desk – because it looks GREAT and works!
