So this ultra Omega-3 supplement is supposed to be a high potency distilled fish oil supplement, providing superior heart and brain support without the fishy burps or digestive discomfort. The first test was smelling it -- upon opening the bottle, the fish smell was something I had to... *cough* "fish around" for. It was not evident at all, compared to another bottle of fish supplements from another brand. I drank two capsules, which is the recommended adult dose, and after two weeks of on-and-off taking it, I can't recall having had a fishy "backflow" up the esophagus, or any poisson-scented burps. Highly recommend, and I appreciate that it's Canadian, and I'm doing something for my health. ♥ -

It kept my colds at bay, and every sickness (which hasn't been a lot) has been so low-key that I'm sure it's because of the zinc. This was a completely different story compared to last year when we just kept getting sick, and it would hit us hard and for long periods. Copper helps the immune system too, so maybe this was a double-whammy in the best way. Take that, sickies!!

Dreamworks Dragons, World of Berk: Trial of Flame Arena Dragons (Styles May Vary)

Feels sturdier than say chocolate surprise toys and so means it will last longer. The theme will interest children but I can see them losing interest within an hour of playing. The crate however lends itself to open play and storytelling which is fantastic. I do think they could cut down on the plastic inside (use paper instead). For those who like to collect little figurines and enjoy HTTYD, this might be for them. Little ones will have lots of fun popping this crate open over and over again and hopefully use it to keep their little treasures as well. -
L'Occitane Shea Butter Dry Skin Hand Cream

I think this product is just naturally scented (ie. the smell of the ingredients combined) and so it's not overpowering at all. The formula applies rather thick, but once you rub it in, it's not greasy or overly sticky, so I appreciate that. I had lots of hangnails and dry skin and cuticles when I applied this in the evening. I was pleasantly astonished to wake up and see that my hands felt and looked "normal" and healthy. As an experiment, I decided not to reapply it until I noticed my hands getting dry and peeling again, and I was able to get by without any lotions/creams for 1.5 weeks.
Highly recommend!

MotoMaster Big Wheel Garage Creeper with Casters, 400 lb

We really loved how wide it is —when you’re turning on your side to work at a specific angle to reach something under your car, sometimes it feels precarious and limited with standard creepers, but it felt like there was room to move around on this one. Pretty smooth wheeling, too. We didn’t like how there were loose threads coming off at two of the seams, so the finishing of these is something that should be looked into. Assembly was fairly simple. -
Swiss Natural Total One® Multi Vitamin and Mineral for Women

I appreciate this opportunity to try these multivitamins because I’ve been feeling a bit rundown with studies lately. This has B12, iron, cranberry and folic acid among a myriad of other important and essential vitamins so it’s something I make time for daily in order to get myself off to a better start. I feel like I’m nodding off less, and without depending on caffeine to do it. -
BAND-AID® Pro Heal Regular Bandages

I didn't want them to get a boo-boo, in fact I was counting on getting one first... but my kids never fail to deliver in that department. A hurt toe with red dripping, and I told the wee one that it was the perfect time to try a Healing Band-aid. He was intrigued and let me wrap it around his toe. What I especially like about this is the gauze part is a decent size and there is adhesive ALL AROUND it, meaning it keeps the center dry and free of moisture from showers, etc. The band-aid also stayed on until it was time to come off. Did his boo-boo heal faster? I'm not sure... I'll have to compare with a comparable boo-boo at some other time, but there were no complaints jumping into the tub that night, and he loved peeling it off to the "magic" of no more boo-boo.
Recommend and hope they look into alternative, eco-friendly textiles to make their band-aids out of.

So this review is going to be interesting. We had planned on installing this in our in-laws' kitchen, which is being renovated. We took out the old light, and was in the middle of installing this new one when we realised that ants and mice had made their homes in the ceiling above. This light has yet to officially grace their home, so this review will focus on the looks. We love how modern and sleek the light looks, and with four bulbs, you have plenty of light to appreciate the space you install this light fixture in. We also love how there are varying lengths of rods, which you can choose to use or not, thereby customising the look of this light. Also... bored of your current look? Swap in/out the rods and you've given your area a mini makeover!
We look forward to actually using this light once the issues in our ceiling have been fully addressed.

44 offers wonderful hydration and shine, and I love that you can either go really subtle with the colour, or build it up (you really have to layer it though, and that is not for me, as it feels too heavy!)... I like that there are over a dozen different shades to choose from, and I am eyeing one of the cooler, darker berry shades. The packaging is also so gorgeous and elegant! I see no downsides to getting yourself a stick of YSL LOVESHINE. Glam up your lips and the contents of your bag! -
