I received the Noma Advanced Custom Lights C9 LED 50 for free in exchange for an honest review. This new Noma advanced custom lights with C9 LED is a super versatile way to jazz up your Christmas decorations – and make you the best-looking house on the street! It's all about adding that personal touch and making things cozy. This set works with regular C9 incandescent bulbs or the fancy LED ones, whichever you prefer.
Now, here's the cool part: it's wired up in a way that's called Constant-Lit Advanced Strand Technology, which means if one bulb decides to call it quits, the rest of the gang keeps on shining. No more snowy missions to find the bad bulb (let’s face it, we have all been there) – it's a real lifesaver!
But, here's the lowdown: the total length of the string isn't exactly the same as the part where the bulbs actually hang. Before you dive in, take a peek at the packaging for the right dimensions, especially if you've got a specific cord length in mind. Other than that, this string feels pretty sturdy, and it's a piece of cake to set up. Just like screwing in a light bulb, no sweats at all.

I received the Noma Advanced Custom Bulk Wire 25’ for free in exchange for an honest review. “Just a liiiiiiitle more…. (and you tug and pull on the light strings, hoping it will just stretch a little bit longer)” – I think we have all been there while putting up Christmas lights, especially outside! Here’s the new Noma custom bulk wire to the rescue! With a good 25 feet extension, you can put up lights anywhere and anyhow you want! Perfectly safe to use outside (and also inside, if you have a LOT of Christmas decoration like us), helping you make that extra mile to the power outlet and keep your lights just the way you want it! Add some male or female plugs (also sold by Noma at Canadian Tire) to make your life easier. The quality coating on the cord will last you years outside in the rain or snow. -

I received the Noma Advanced Custom Lights C9 LED 100 for free in exchange for an honest review. The NOMA Advanced Custom String Light Set is a versatile lighting solution designed to add a touch of personalization and precision to your winter home decor. This set uses a standard C9 incandescent light string set and is compatible with both incandescent and LED outdoor bulbs.
One nice feature of this set is that it comes wired in parallel (marketed as Constant-Lit Advanced Strand Technology), meaning that if one light bulb burns out or fails, the remainder of the lights on the line will remain lit. This is great for anyone who remembers having to go outside in the middle of winter to try and figure out which bulb on a long string of lights needs to be replaced.
One word of caution is that the total length of the string is 111’ (~34 m), but the actual length of the string where the light bulbs are placed is a bit shorter (about 99’ or ~30m). Be sure to check the packaging first for both dimensions, especially if you need a specific length of cord that is illuminated. Other than that, the quality of the string feels very secure and it was as easy to set up as screwing in a light bulb. 10/10

I received the Noma Advanced Custom Male Plugs 10 for free in exchange for an honest review. For anyone who was confused initially like I was, the “Vampire” style of application in the product page, refers to the method of connecting the plug to the wire; it is another way of saying toolless connector. Instead of needing to strip the wire and screw it into place, you simply need to push the wire into the plug, which is convenient especially if you are setting this up while cooler outside. Overall, the quality of both the Male and Female version of these plugs is particularly good, and I had no trouble disassembling the plug (since both sides of the plug come in the packaging put together), then attaching it to the extension cord that I wanted to connect to. -

I received the Noma Advanced Custom Female Plugs 10 for free in exchange for an honest reivew. The NOMA Advanced Custom Indoor & Outdoor Polarized Female Plugs are designed to be used with extension cords. I tried out both the Male and Female custom plugs, and found their quality to be quiet good, forming a snug fit with the wire once I attached the plug to the wire. These plugs are made for 18 AWG/SPT-2 wires, which should be more the sufficient for most custom LED holiday lights. They can be used for any interior or exterior applications, only though for appliances that do not require a third ground pin, so keep that in mind before you make your purchase. Safe for outside use, in our cold and wet weather, these plugs are the perfect addition for your next Christmas light project! Tip: get those lights up while it's still warm outside! -

I received the AVEENO Daily Moisturizing Face Cream, Fragrance Free, for free in exchange for an honest review. This new Aveeno face cream came just in time as I ran out of my old one. I have always loved Aveeno products, they are just so trustworthy and so good on the skin. This new face cream has non-GMO oats, and I’ve been loving the new oats products for a while now. Oats apparently are good for your guts, and skin! I’ve used this for a few nights and few days now, it’s not sticky, absorbs super well, and retains most of the moisture so that my skin doesn’t have that dry stretchy feeling. The face cream is fragrance free, but I smell the usual Aveeno smell, which is super pleasant! It says it is clinically proven to moisturize dry skin for a full 24 hours but most people, like me, would probably take a shower during the 24 hour lot and reapply face cream before bed, so I cannot attest to that – BUT the 12 hours I had it on, it worked really well. This new Aveeno face cream is parabens-free fragrance-free and dye-free, and the new bottle is made from 40% recycled plastic, which makes me feel good doing a little bit for the environment. Great job Aveeno! -

I received the AVEENO Daily Moisturizing Facial Cleanser, 354 mL for free in exchange for an honest review. Aveeno is a premium brand in our household, we trust the brand for everything from baby products to all skin care. This new face wash lathers really well, smells fresh, and most importantly, cleans really well. I had some light makeup on and this new facial cleanser got everything out, leaving my skin super soft and clean. I know because I used a cotton pad to test it, and it came out clean! You know that squeaky clean feeling but not dry-out-tension clean? This Aveeno cleanser can do it for you. Having oat in it helps, as oat soothes skin and retains moisture. This new cleanser is also FREE on lots of things: paraben-free, sulfate-free, dye-free, and soap-free, perfect for a busy family who doesn’t have time to do much research. Cherry on the top is that the new bottle is made with 30% recycled plastic, so doing our small part for the environment. The pump is definitely preferred and sits great in the shower with the other shower bottles (I know, I am one of those lazy ones that washes their face in the shower). Definitely will buy again! -

I received the Batman 4-inch Crusader Batmobile for free in exchange for an honest review. This came at a perfect timing as my 5 and 9 year old are currently bingeing a series of Batman, and they are in the midst of educating their younger cousin about Joker, Batman and Gotham City. The Batmobile was super easy to remove from the box (unlike most toys, where you need a box cutter AND scissors AND muscles to get them out of the tags) – the little turn knobs are perfect for little hands to unscrew and take them out themselves. Honest opinion though, the 4-inch paper figures of The Joker, King Shark, and Mr. Freeze were a bit disappointing. The cardboard is a bit flimsy and they don’t stand up well. It’s meant to be knocked over by the BatHook launcher but they just kneel over on their own. It’s been 3 days now, I think the kids have gotten tired of the 4 inch figures and starting shooting at other toys instead.
The Crusader Batmobile, Batman and the BatHook launcher though, was GREAT! The quality of the batmobile is superb, large enough to vroom around the house by little hands, and the BatHook was super easy to set up and launch. The launch is surprisingly powerful (by children standards) and yes it is strong enough to knock over the paper figurines (when they are able to stand on their own). I wish there’s another BatHook though, as I’m pretty sure the hook will be missing at some point :) but otherwise, it’s a really fun toy and perfect for a room of little boys to play super hero! Now on to finding more stable figurines for the Batmobile to shoot at!

I received the PanOxyl PM Overnight Spot Patches for free in exchange for an honest review. Look at my photo, that was the night before I used the PanOxyl patch, stupid red zit did not last long! I used the small patch (9mm one) and stuck it on overnight, the next morning, it was 70% less red, with only a tiny bump. I mean, it’s impossible to have a zit go away 100% overnight, but I will happily take 70% reduction, which means it’s also small enough to be covered by makeup and concealer. The patch is latex-free with hydrocolloid so no worries sensitive skin, you will be fine! The patch is a little thick but who is looking while you’re sleeping anyway. If it works, it works! The patch contains no parabens, no fragrances, no sulfates, no dyes and no latex, so pretty safe for most skin types. The patch is easy to stick on, and easy to peel off as well, I had no problems taking it off in the morning. Very happy with the first night of results. I used the patch again for night 2, and by day 3, my zit was barely noticeable.
I haven’t had to use the 12mm one yet but I’m sure my porous nose will need it at some point. I feel confident that the patch will help reduce random unwanted breakouts (and usually at the worst times, like before an event), grab a patch and try it!
