What a great alternative to pork bacon. With 85% less fat than regular pork side bacon, 35 calories per piece and 5 grams of protein, this would make a great addition to any meal or snack. They are very easy to make; the stove or microwave is recommended, but I also used my air fryer. No matter how you choose to heat them, it takes less than 10 mins before you have healthy, yummy turkey bacon. My favorite way to enjoy it was a BLT style sandwich. The only downside I would say for me is I like extra crispy bacon and I had a hard time getting that texture, no matter how long I cooked it. Having said that, I would still buy it and definitely recommend it as a healthy alternative because it tastes good, it’s easy to make and it’s so versatile. A definite winner for turkey.

I really liked these turkey hot dogs. They make a tasty alternative to beef or pork and are really yummy in the air fryer. They’re very quick to make, 5-8 mins in the air fryer and they come out plump, juicy and with that bit of crisp like on a barbecue. They’re gluten free, made with 100% turkey meat and have 7 grams of protein per hot dog. I will buy these again and I definitely recommend these to anyone looking for a healthy hot dogs alternative.

Thank you Butterly and Blue Lizard for the opportunity to try the sensitive mineral sunscreen.
Having sensitive skin, this is the perfect solution. Made with organic aloe, it never caused any redness, irritation, breakouts or rashes and with SPF 50, I felt confident that it was keeping me protected anytime I was outside.
It goes on very easily. Holding it about 4-6 inches from you, you give it a good shake, spray it all over your body and rub it in. If you want it on your face, spray it into your hands first and then apply it to your face.
It is very lightweight and absorbs quickly once applied. It does leave a bit of white cast while you’re spraying, but once rubbed in, it does not linger. There is no overpowering ‘sunscreen smell’, it’s not sticky, tacky and doesn’t leave behind any greasiness or oily residues.
Overall, I liked this sunscreen. I liked that it was a spray and not a lotion. My skin felt soft when I applied it and it really worked on my sensitive skin. It was easy to apply and reapply, easy to pack into everything from a purse to luggage and worked well doing everything from backyard work to camping. A definite recommend.

Thank you Butterly for the opportunity to try Swiss Natural Menolibrium herbal relief therapy capsules. Unfortunately, this is not a product for me. Starting with the packaging, it tells you what the herbal medicinal ingredients are but not exactly what they do. They give you a general overview of the symptoms they are supposed to relieve, but not being familiar with all herbal ingredients, the words meant nothing to me without context. It would have been nice to see “ingredient X helps hot flashes”, for example.
Next, the instructions say to take 1 capsule twice a day. This is very vague to me. When? With food or without? Take it with a certain liquid or steer clear of certain liquids, like grapefruit juice? Can I use this in conjunction with current herbal supplements or my other prescription medications?
I could have looked over all of this if I felt relief in any aspect of what they claim to help with. Quoting from Amazon, it is “clinically proven to help relieve symptoms associated with menopause, including hot flashes, night sweats, paresthesia, insomnia, nervousness, melancholia, vertigo, fatigue, rheumatic pain and vaginal dryness.” For me, I did not see relief from any of these. In fact, it seemed to increase my insomnia, fatigue, and night sweats.
I wish I had had more success with this product, but it had no effect on me and it would not be something I bought or recommended.

Thank you Butterly for the opportunity to try Ogx Bond Protein Repair Shampoo.
I have tried other Ogx products in the past, so I was very excited to try this one and I was not disappointed.
It felt really nice on my scalp, from the long lasting scent to the lather. My hair felt so clean and soft.
It lathers up very nicely and though I have long hair, I didn’t find I needed to use a ton of the shampoo to work it through, thoroughly.
My hair felt more manageable after using this, especially in conjunction with the conditioner and serum from the same collection.
Overall, my hair felt healthier, smoother and nourished. A definite shampoo staple for me to purchase in the future.

Thank you Butterly for the opportunity to try Ogx Bond Protein Repair sealing serum.
While I have tried other Ogx products before, this was the first time I had tried a serum. I was very happy with the results.
It’s very easy to use. I applied about 2-3 pumps into my hands, then into my damp hair. I worked it starting from the ends upwards and that’s it. You don’t need to rinse it out or do anything else. It is recommended to use this serum 1-2 times a week.
It has a very lovely, long lasting scent, especially when combined with the shampoo and conditioner from the same family.
It’s very lightweight and silky; it didn’t weigh my hair down at all. My hair felt smoother, from the first use, but it does take several uses, the product says 5, to see the full results.
Overall, especially using it consistently, my hair felt stronger and less damaged. I noticed it looked and felt less frizzy and overall more manageable, smooth and silky.

Thank you Butterly for the opportunity to try Ogx Bond Protein Repair Conditioner.
I have tried other Ogx products in the past, so I was very excited to try this one and I was not disappointed.
I tried the shampoo as well and share many of the same feelings with the conditioner. It felt really nice on my scalp, from start to finish. The scent is lovely and long lasting and my hair felt so soft and healthy.
I have long hair, but with this lightweight conditioner, I didn’t find I needed to use a ton to work it through thoroughly and feel the effects.
My hair felt more less tangled and so much more manageable after using this, especially in conjunction with the shampoo and serum in the same family.
My hair felt healthier, with almost a weightless feeling and more nourished, overall. I would definitely buy this conditioner in the future for gorgeous, silky hair.

I was very excited to try this litter, as the one I currently use is so heavy and very dusty. This was a game changer in both departments.
It was very easy for me to lift the box, and having a very light, sandy texture, it was easy to pour into the litter box and not make a mess. When I normally scoop my old product, dust gets everywhere and I have to take an allergy pill some days, but not with this one. There is zero to little dust that I have noticed, which is so beneficial to both myself and my cat.
It doesn’t scoop into a perfect little circle, but it does make a nice, easy to clean clump. Some days my cat wasn’t even covering up when he was done and now he is, so I’m going to say he is really enjoying this litter.
When it comes to odour, I will say overall, once it’s scooped, the box itself and room the box is in smells clean and fresh. However, when my cat does his business, even when he does scoop it, it does still smell badly sometimes, so it doesn’t always completely cover up the odour.
My cat took right to it and seems to like using it. As said, he’s even been covering it more since using this litter, which is amazing. I only have to scoop it regularly instead of changing it completely every few days. This cat litter has been a real game changer for us and I would absolutely recommend this for your furry friends needs.

I really like the concept of a spray to help target my acne breakouts, especially on places a small face pad won’t reach easily, like my shoulders or back. You can still use this on your face though, which is great, just make sure to apply it to your hands, cloth or pad first.
Having a 360 degree spray makes applying very easy and very user friendly. It is 2% salicylic acid, which I personally have always found helpful when it comes to my acne. It’s a light spray, it’s not greasy or sticky, and though there is an initial mild medicinal smell, it doesn’t linger. It dries quickly and then you’re done, you can go about your day and let the medicine do its work.
It is recommended to start with once daily, as there’s a chance it can dry out your skin. If your skin tolerates it well and dryness or peeling doesn’t occur, you can move gradually to two or three times. My skin tolerates salicylic acid well, so I was able to successfully use it twice daily with no problems.
As someone who has struggled a long time with breakouts, including my body, I really liked using this spray. I would definitely buy it in the future and recommend it to those who want to give salicylic acid or a spray (or both) out.

Thank you Butterly for the opportunity to try TheraBreath Fresh Breath icy mint mouthwash. I take pride in my oral hygiene so I am always seeking out the best products, including mouthwash. This one has some great qualities. It’s very easy to use, does not burn or sting and when using it as bedtime, my breath was surprisingly still fresh when I got up. For me, I noticed it really helped some of the weird tastes I get in my mouth during the day, such as bitter or metallic and I really noticed an improvement in my dry mouth. The only reason it got 4 stars is that while I did find this a high quality product, the price point is a bit steep. Having said that, I would still recommend this as a top mouthwash to try. -
