We had a lot of fun making pizzas with our toddlers with the Dr Oetker pizza kit.
The kids had lots of fun helping with the dough and adding their toppings to the pizza.
We normally buy a different brand and I found the Dr Oetker sauce to be of a superior taste.
I will definitely be buying this kit again

I received the travel size to sample and my initial reaction was that the scent was strong. It was much more rose scented than vanilla. I couldn't note the vanilla scent at all. It reminded me of a body powder my grandma used to use, which was super nostalgic and I liked.
As other reviewers mentioned it does have a texture, but the directions say to hold it against your body to allow it to melt and I found that really helped. The texture wasn't noticeable at all after application.
There's always an adjustment period I find with natural deodorants and this one was no different, but it really works once you've used it for a few days. I was very pleasantly impressed and I plan to buy it again in the future.

Dove Care Between Washes Invisible Dry Shampoo
I’m usually a user of Battiste dry shampo but I ended up buying this one time when I couldn’t find any. It’s ok. I wouldn’t buy it again. It’s cheaper but I found it doesn’t last as long as Battiste and it does leave my hair with a... +
I’m usually a user of Battiste dry shampo but I ended up buying this one time when I couldn’t find any. It’s ok. I wouldn’t buy it again. It’s cheaper but I found it doesn’t last as long as Battiste and it does leave my hair with a crunchy, almost hairspray type feel. I prefer the natural feel from Battiste products. -

I buy Motts Fruitsations for myself and my toddler all the time. When I was finally able to find the new Mango Peach with fiber variety I knew right away we’d enjoy this new flavour -we’re big fans already of mango and peach.
I do think the mango was the predominant flavour and the peach was hard to note throughout.
I love no added sugar products and find these are great for my own lunch as well as filler snacks for my child to occupy her before supper.

I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review from the product review club.
I didn’t enjoy this product when I first got it. I found it awkward to apply and the four drops didn’t go very far in my opinion. I also found that it left my skin feeling very oily throughout the day.
After reading some other reviews I tried what one person had suggested: using the dropped to apply it to my face directly. That definitely helped with application (four drops was now enough!) and my skin no longer felt oily. It would certainly help avoid wastage.
However I’m not certain I saw any direct benefits to using the serum.
I’m still using it but I don’t believe I would purchase this again myself.

I have a combination skin tone - with my T zone being very oily and shiny. For this reason I am always skeptical of sunscreen moisturizers. However I have also had some scares with skin cancer so I consider it really important to wear a daily spf. For summer I like to bump up the spf and this Vichy Ideal soleil with spf 50 is amazing !
It goes on soft and gentle like a primer and it didn’t add any extra shine or oil to my complexion. I’m so impressed with this product ! I hope this bottle lasts the whole summer long.

I was excited to try this product as I’m a huge fan of moisturizer and use it on my lo every evening.
I was excited to see it was made with Shea butter and cocoa butter and without parabens and other synthetic additives.
However I could not get over the smell. It’s marketed as being fragrance free but I find the scent so obnoxious I only use it every few evenings to get a break from it.
I love that it has a pump for easy application, and as far as moisturizers it was ok. It wasn’t as thick as other baby specific products I’ve used so I wouldn’t want this one for winter time when our skin dries out faster.
It’s a large size so the value is good if you can handle the scent.

I received a full size product in exchange for my honest review through ChickAdvisor.
I’ve tried natural wipes for diaper changes before and I’ve had a few complaints (the biggest being they don’t come out of the package nicely as they stick together) Surprisingly- these babyganics wipes had none of the same issues! They pulled out of the package easily and they stayed nice and wet through the whole package! There was no offensive scent and no rash or reaction.
My baby has had adverse reactions to fragranced wipes in the past so we always choose fragrance free now and these babyganics are definitely up there for quality. They’re nice and thick which is great for poop diaper changes.
My only complaint is they are slightly smaller than some other brands, but all in all it’s not a deterrent for me. I’ll definitely be recommending them to my friends!

I was given a full size product for free in exchange for my honest review from ChickAdvisor.
Right away I was in love with the pump feature of this product - it made for easy application with a busy toddler in the tub.
I also love the smell! So fresh and clean. It really made me think of a natural product smell, so I was a huge fan.
I am generally not a fan of foaming soaps and the first time I used this shampoo/body wash I felt the same about this product. However! The more I used it the more I liked it- I just felt I had to use more of the foaming soap than I would of a normal soap but likely I was using the same amount, it is just more aerated and felt like more because I would need to pump 2-3 times. Being a foaming soap however, this body wash didn’t spread as nicely as a non-foaming body wash.
All in all I really enjoy this product and would buy again when it’s on sale!

I’ve been using the Green Beaver natural deodorant and while I enjoyed the product, it just wasn’t “cutting it” for odour protection that lasted all day. While I wasn’t uncomfortably smelly I found I did have that natural body odour smell.
This new Aluminum-Free Antiperspirant is everything that the deodorant lacked. It really provides great odour protection that lasts all day.
I bought this in the Bliss scent which is advertised as being vanilla and coconut - I find the vanilla the stronger component of the two as I haven’t noticed the coconut scent.
This product is great if you’re looking for a safe, aluminum-free way to stay fresh.
I’ll be buying again!
