As someone who didn't start using sunscreen in their routine up until 4 years ago, sun-induced dark spots are one of my main skin concerns.
This serum is suitable for all skin types, has a lightweight feel, and absorbs instantly. I've been using this serum morning and night for the past week and didn't experience any irritation or discomfort when applying.
I noticed that my dull complexion looks brighter and more radiant after just a few days of using this. My skin tone has started to even out (I also have redness to my skin so this was a huge bonus for me) and my dark spots have slowly become less noticeable.
The only downside was the scent of this product. It has a strong chemical smell that fades over time, but the scent is not necessarily a deal-breaker for me. Im very curious about the results over an extended period and would love to see them come out with a dark spot remover for the rest of your body as my shoulders and chest could use some love too

This hair color is specifically made to cover grey hair and naturally fades in 6 weeks. You dont have to open any packages to mix the developer or colourant as everything is conveniently incorporated into the applicator bottle. This unique design mixes all components in the bottle by twisting the lid to the "on" position and shaking everything together. It comes with 2 sachets to perform allergen tests and gloves to protect your hands.
My husband keeps his hair quite short so there was more than enough dye to cover up his greys. This product was simple to use and the soft bristles on the applicator made it easy to evenly distribute throughout his hair.
With only 5 minutes needed to develop, the entire process was quick and easy. The coverage given was excellent and the shade matched his hair perfectly. We both loved the natural look of this hair dye and would consider purchasing this in the future.

I got to try the Honey Treasures scent Whole Blends shampoo bar which is made specifically for damaged hair. Its made with 94% plant-based ingredients which include honey and beeswax. It comes in a recyclable cardboard box which is much better for the environment as there is zero plastic waste.
This shampoo bar fits perfectly in my hand and is easy to grip onto while in the shower. It lathered beautifully and the aromatic warm honey scent filled up the room. I have very dry, damaged hair and immediately noticed how hydrated and nourished it felt while washing. It rinsed out easily and left my hair smelling incredible and feeling clean.
I love that it's formulated without dyes silicones and preservatives, is cruelty free and safe for ages 3 and up so my son can use this too!

I had the chance to try Doves first refillable deodorant in Coconut & Pink Jasmine scent. The sweet scent of the coconut and floral notes of jasmine is a lovely combination. It glides on smoothly and I love that it's made with moisturizer to help keep my underarms feeling soft. I've been using natural, aluminium free deodorant for over a year now, and although this claims to have 48-hour odour protection, I find it starts to fade after 24 hours.
I love the concept of these deodorants as they are more eco-friendly and all components of the packaging and refills are recyclable. The stainless steel reusable case is gorgeous and comes with a lifetime guarantee. The base of these cases have a chrome finish and a dove logo engraved on the lids which adds sophistication and beauty to this design. It's about half the size of a traditional deodorant which makes them easy to take with you on the go.
Although the odour protection doesn't last 48 hours I feel like the protection given along with the sustainability of this deodorant has made me love this product.

My husband had the chance to try this deodorant in the scent Clean Touch. He enjoys the fresh scent of this deodorant as it reminds him of stepping straight out of the shower.
These came in a beautiful reusable stainless steel case which comes with a lifetime guarantee. The base of these cases have a chrome finish and a dove logo engraved on the lid which adds sophistication to this product. It's about half the size of a traditional deodorant which makes them easy to throw into your pocket. The concept of these deodorants is wonderful as they are more eco-friendly and all components of the packaging and refills are recyclable.
My husband usually uses conventional deodorants so using one that is aluminium free is new to him. The odour protection seemed to last around 24 hours (instead of 48) but considering he has a labour intensive job he was fairly happy about that. He will be trying out some of the other scents in the future.

Jolt is a Vancouver based company and creates these bars using dates (for sweetness), pea protein and caffeine from green tea. These bars are plant based, gluten free and soy free.
.
They currently have two flavour choices - hazelnut truffle and peanut butter brownie. both of these bars have a wonderful soft chewy texture with small textured pieces throughout.
.
My preffered choice is the hazelnut truffle and it reminds me of a freshly baked brownie. The peanut butter brownie had a nice flavour and I loved that the peanut butter taste wasn't overpowering. I loved the added caffeine in these bars as that extra "jolt" helps me power through my day.
.
Definitely worth checking out if you're looking to add some plant based protein into your daily routine that also gives you energy.

This cream is 100% vegan, oil free, and is formulated with Cactus Water & Hyaluronic Acid to keep your skin hydrated for up to 72 hours.
I'm a huge fan of Hyaluronic Acid, so I know how well this ingredient works to lock in the moisture my skin needs. As for Cactus Water (also known as Opuntia Ficus-Indica Fruit Water on the ingredient list) this is completely new to me, so of course I had to do a bit of research. Cactus Water has a blend of antioxidants, electrolytes and vitamins which can help replenish your skin's collegen levels and help protect your skin from sun damage as well as aging.
Based off first impressions this cream melted into my skin and felt truely weightless while leaving my skin feeling soft and hydrated. As for the 72 hour hydration claim, I have a daily morning and night skincare routine but with these ingredients and continued use I could see potential in this product.

I love trying new and unique dishes, so I was pretty excited to try Purgrains Thai Garlic Chilli ancient grains.
This side dish is made with white and red quinoa, brown rice and farro paired with ginger, chilli pepper and lemongrass for flavour. Each pouch contains 9g of protein and and 6g of fiber which are two things I'm always trying to boost in my diet.
The sweet and spicy flavours were a great combination and the garlic wasn't overpowering. The amount of spice used was perfect, and although I found it to be a bit sweeter than expected it would pair nicely alongside other foods or even in a stir fry.
Between the flavour, texture and how easy it was to prepare (90 seconds in the microwave) this is something I'll be keeping on hand for quick meals on busy days.

This Paw Patrol Rescue Knights Marshall Transforming vehicle has a simplified design and is easy to transform by the press of a button. The ladder pops up and Marshall is able to save the day with the "water" that comes from his truck.
My son loves playing with this toy. It's easy to handle, is the perfect size for his little hands and makes pretend play fun. He loves that the ladder pops up and it's easy to lock back into place. I personally love that the "water" piece doesn't launch out of the truck as that's one less piece that can go missing.
My son has had hours of play with this toy already, and I'm sure there will be many more to come!
