I received the Grown Alchemist Hand Wash for free in exchange for an honest review. What a beautiful bottle! The moment I saw it I know exactly which bathroom to put it (the one I use most so I can see it every day!) the pump works great and a little goes a long way. The sweet orange, sage, and cedarwood smell feel likes Christmas already! Really really loving the smell! The hand wash lathers up really well and leaves your skin so soft at the end. None of that tingly feeling after a hand wash but you can still feel your hand is clean wash feeling. The lovely sweet orange, sage and cedarwood smell lingers after a while and it’s super refreshing. This 300ml bottle should last a long while!

I received the For Living Customizable Office Chair for free in exchange for an honest review. We are one of the luckier households that can still work from home from time to time. This For Living Office Chair is of top quality, and the 6-way adjustability helps when we rotate between uses (a 6”3 male and 5”6 female). The chair offers a good level of comfort and provides firm yet comfortable support for the back and torso. Additionally, a good office chair should be adaptable and have multiple adjustment options to cater to different body types. The For Living Office chair, for instance, features adjustable seat height, backrest tilt, armrest height, depth, and direction, as well as adjustable lumbar support position and strength. When it comes to material and build quality, the chair feels well-constructed overall. While it may not be built to the same standard as more expensive brands commonly found in corporate offices, it also comes at a more affordable price. The mesh backing and frame of the chair feel sturdy and are unlikely to be easily damaged.
The only issue I encountered was during the installation process. The screw holes had narrow tolerances, which made it slightly time-consuming to assemble the chair compared to other office chairs. The instructions do advise keeping the screws loosely tightened during assembly, and they truly mean it! However, this minor inconvenience does not significantly affect the overall build quality of the chair. In terms of design, this office chair boasts a sleek and modern appearance. It is designed to seamlessly blend into the background of your office rather than making a bold statement about your personal decorating taste. Considering the comfort, adjustability, quality, and design, chairs of similar caliber would likely cost more from larger office suppliers. Therefore, this chair offers good value for money. Now I think we need to get another one so we don’t have to constantly adjust the chair between the two of us!

I received the Aquaman Role Play Set (Trident) for free in exchange for an honest review. The set comes with both Aquaman and Black Manta’s tridents (about 35 inches), and they are a good size for your little one’s hand. The box says it’s for 4 years old and above but my 4yo just wanted to stab his siblings with it (yikes), FORTUNATELY the tips of the trident are SOFT and it’s actually safe. Don’t get me wrong, it still hurts a tad bit if you get stabbed (from my personal experience yes). It’s probably a good idea to sit your little one down with clear instructions on what NOT to do before handing them the tridents. My slightly older ones (8yo) seems to have more fun with it, acting out a fight scene with his siblings, and it’s actually pretty fun to watch!
On to some improvements, the plastic quality of the tridents is slightly on the poorer side, I don’t think the tridents will last too long with some rough play. It took me quite a bit to put the trident together because the plastic wouldn’t go in at the joints. You’re supposed to put it in and turn but it took quite some muscles to get them in, and even then, the scripting on Aquaman’s trident doesn’t match up perfectly – not that my little ones care at all, which is great. That being said, because the plastic is a bit more on the “secure” side, there’s less chance of the tridents coming apart during rough play, which I really appreciate. All in all, great gift if your little one is into Aquaman, and the tips are safe for playing, just make sure they don’t poke the littler ones in the family!

I received the Trojan Duet 2-in-1 Vibrating Massager + Ring for free in exchange for an honest review. This toy is made of high-quality silicone with a super smooth surface. It’s soft, bendy (MUCH appreciated function compared to other traditional “toys” that do not bend) and super easy to clean (just use soap and water). It has 10 different vibration setting (strength and also you can control which end to vibrate) and there are 2 motors on each end, it will definitely please you and your partner. It comes with a simple instruction to show you how to use it (for me, it helps to have an image for the Ring, as I’ve never used one like this before). I have to say, this is my favorite toy so far – I really like that it can be used as a couple toy – so we can both enjoy it at the same time! Husband really liked the Ring, and we love using it together during inter course. The buttons are easy to push and to locate (there’s a little light), and the USB charging function is great (pretty standard these days). It is also water resistant but I have not tried this with water yet. Make sure if you use lubricant, pick a water-based one otherwise it might damage the toy.

I received the NOMA SurfaceElite+ High Power Bagless Carry-off Corded Upright Vacuum Cleaner for free in exchange for an honest review. I received the vacuum cleaner right before the weekend, and it was a BLESSING because it was cleaning week. Spoiler alert – it will make you want to clean your house right away, and turn it into a family event!
First of all, we have a central vac system at our place, and it’s fine but there are always moments where there’s a little mess and you don’t want to pull the whole system out and put it back. This new NOMA vacuum is about 15lb, it’s super light, and I was able to carry it and clean with one hand while carrying a clingy toddler. The best use case for us was using it in the family bathroom. Anyone with long hair or with offsprings with long hair can tell you how much mess that is every single day. I left the NOMA vacuum in the bathroom and everyone who has long hair used it to clean up their mess after a shower. MAGIC! Just be careful not to run it over a wet floor (says so in the manual, which is very informative by the way). My favorite feature is the LED headlight – who knew there would be dirt and dust where I normally can’t see! This is definitely something the central vac would never be able to do. My second favorite feature is the swivel steering – I never knew stand up vacuums can do that! One little push with your leg and you can TURN the vacuum head! This is one of the reasons why I can clean with only one available arm! Absolutely love how easy it is to vacuum. My eldest has also volunteered to do some cleaning since the vacuum is so light and in her words “pretty cool to look at”.
Other great features include the lift-up body (it’s so easy to use with just one little button, and the whole thing lifts off). The wand is amazing for hard to reach places like the ceiling or floor corners. It also works by pushing a button and it will release, but the portable hose could get twisted and tangled slightly. What really impressed me was the 3-in-1 combination tool and the turbo brush tool – they hang on the side of the vacuum and make sure all your house surface is covered. We tried it on the curtain and fabric couch – not a single complaint at all! The fact that NOMA can combine 3 tools into 1 is so epic. The filter in the vacuum lists that it can filter out 99.97% of particles down to 0.3 microns – I can’t test that without being a lab but judging by the amount of dust and particles it picked up when I used it for the first time, I’m a firm believer.
Some cons to be aware of – the power cord is long and super useful for when you want to clean a large area – but it does get in the way if you’re just cleaning up a small area. It hasn’t gotten tangled on me yet but I feel like it could be a small trip hazard if you are not careful. The lower chord hook on the vacuum cleaner is a bit hard to find (read the manual to find out all the tips and tricks and the full functionality, I highly recommend it!) also one last thing is the portable tool hooks – the 3-in-1 combination tool and the turbo brush tool got knocked off a little too easily when I was bringing the vacuum cleaner up some stairs. Just make sure you push it in tight and you should be fine.

I received the AVEENO Tone + Texture Daily Renewing Lotion for free in exchange for an honest review. First of all, what a pretty Aveeno bottle that matches our upcoming fall colors with a brown toned cap and graphics! Aveeno is a staple in our family, ranging from baby care to adult skin care, this new tone + texture lotion is another great addition to our skincare routine. It’s super smooth, super absorbing, and even it’s fragrance free (great for sensitive little ones, well not for them, but when we hold or cuddle some of the lotion will bound to rub off on them!) it smells so fresh, like Aveeno does! I used it on my rough elbows both in the morning and evening, and after 5 days, I do feel it is smoother. It’s a stubborn spot that either gets overlooked during my skincare routine, or it’s just me running around all day and banging it on everything. I asked my son to feel it and he said it’s softer (already a win!) My ankles are a bit too rough to feel any difference right now, but I will keep at it. It contains 4% natural PHA, Pro-Vitamin B3, and prebiotic oat, which we know are all great for our skin. Also it is paraben free (it’s a must these days). The pump bottle is perfect for busybodies, just 2 pumps and it covers most of my body or rough spots. -

I received the Noma Advanced Custom Replacement Bulbs C9 LED 25 Multi Color for free in exchange for an honest review. These lights are nothing short of amazing! They are so colorful and so CHRISTMASSY! There’s purple, green, orange, blue, and red – all the Christmas or holiday colors that you need! The standout feature for me is their shatter-resistant quality. I accidentally dropped one while setting the lights up, completing it with the Noma weather seal, and to my surprise, it didn't even crack. Not a single scratch or dent! That's some impressive durability! Not only are they tough cookies, but they're also kind to the environment with their energy-efficient LED technology, which uses a fraction (80% less to be precise) of the energy compared to those old-school incandescent bulbs. Plus, they fit seamlessly into a standard C9 incandescent light string set, so you won't need to make any special adjustments. Another highlight is the Constant-Lit Advanced Strand Technology, meaning if one bulb decides to call it quits, the whole string stays lit. I haven't encountered a single dud and even if I do, I know for sure I don’t need to rehaul the whole thing. Each bulb boasts 2 SMDs, making them extra bright. Check out the photo we took at night – it's like a mini light show at our house! Plus, these lights are weather-resistant, making them versatile for both indoor and outdoor use. If you want to take precautions, consider adding the Noma Weather Seals, especially if you have little ones around. We're all about the added safety features and peace of mind. -

I received the Noma Advanced Custom Replacement Bulbs C9 LED 25 Pure White for free in exchange for an honest review. Let me just say, these lights are a game-changer! I've been used to hand-me-down or budget lights my whole life, and these Noma advanced bulbs are on a whole different level of fancy. What really blew me away is their shatter-resistant feature. I accidentally dropped one while installing them with the Noma weather seal, and guess what? It didn't break! Not only are they tough, but they're also eco-friendly with their energy-efficient LED technology, using a fraction of the energy compared to traditional bulbs. Plus, they fit perfectly into a standard C9 incandescent light string set, so no need to go hunting for specific fixtures. Another awesome feature is their Constant-Lit Advanced Strand Technology, which means if one bulb burns out, the whole strand stays lit. You can easily hide the one that's gone dim behind some other decoration and avoid the hassle of replacing it. So far, all my lights are still shining bright, and I haven't had a single dud. Each bulb boasts 2 SMDs, making them extra bright. Check out the photo we took at night – it's like a mini light show at our house! And don't forget, they're weather-resistant, making them perfect for both indoor and outdoor use. If you want to take safety up a notch, consider the Noma Weather Seals, especially if you have curious kids running around. We're loving the peace of mind they offer. -

I received the Noma Advanced Custom Replacement Bulbs C9 LED 25 Warm White for free in exchange for an honest review. These are beautiful lights! Probably one of the best quality lights I have ever touched or used! Maybe because my family has always used hand-me-down lights or just cheap ones, these Noma replacement bulbs are FANCY! The best thing about it is that they are shatter resistant – and I can personally attest to it that it is actually true! I accidentally dropped one while putting the Noma weather seal on and it DID NOT BREAK. The LEDs are energy efficient (uses 80% less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs) and they all fit into a standard C9 incandescent light string set (check out the Noma set). The Constant-Lit Advanced Strand Technology keeps the entire strand lit if one bulb burns out (so you can hide it with some other decoration and not replace it) – but so far all the lights are perfectly fine and we have not had a dud. There are 2 SMDs per bulb so it’s extra bright – check out our photo at night! The bulbs are also weather resistant which is perfect for both indoors and outdoors – if you want to be extra careful or if you have small kids around, check out the Noma Weather seals as well – we really enjoy the extra safety features. -

I received the Noma Advanced Custom Weather Seal 25 pack for free in exchange for an honest review. I have never used a weather seal ever in my life – not even after 20 plus years of helping my parents do Christmas decorations, and now my own. Thanks to Noma and Canadian Tire, my Christmas lights are now 100000% safe from all weather elements – be it snow, rain, slush, ice, or just dirt haha. The weather seal is super easy to put on, just slide it under the light bulb you want protected, and twist it the usual way on the light string, and viola, safety achieved! These Noma weather seal are made from quality rubber and feels tight when you screw on with the light bulbs. It might take a few tries to get it in the first time but once you get the hang of it, the light bulbs just go in very easily. -
