This nail and cuticle oil was very easy to apply. Quite a lot comes out so you don’t need to squeeze too hard. I didn’t love the scent. It was a bit too strong for me.
It was easy to swipe the oil onto my cuticles and nails. I then had to rub the excess oil into each nail.
The skin around my nails definitely softened. I did not notice a big change in the condition of my nails. My nails are terrible during winter and they looked a bit better but nothing miraculous.

My 5 year old son was so excited when this
Monster Jam Mini set arrived. He was keen to help set it up and it was pretty easy for him and I to complete it within a few mins. He really liked the skull head and how it parted when the cars hit it. He was not hitting the launcher very hard at first and that frustrated him. Once he got the hang of hitting it with a bit more power he was happy to see the cars launch at the tower. He had no problem hitting the skull target but it was more difficult to get the cars to ricochet and break the yellow circle with the puzzle pieces.
Setting it up I did notice that the plastic is quite flimsy but it is for miniature cars so it doesn’t need to be super strong.
This gave him a good 30 mins of play before he wanted to move on to something else.
He really liked that you can hang the cars from various places on the tower and on the skulls head and in the eyes.
And he wants to collect more of the little cars.
Overall he really enjoyed playing with the mini cars. It would have been great if there had been a couple of other things for the cars to launch at or a twisted ramp for them to go down.

I am always happy to try a new product for maturing skin. Especially for my neck! Noticing as I age that my skin is definitely changing and needing extra hydration and attention.
Neostrata Triple Firming Neck Cream helps to make your neck and décolletage more smooth and firm.
I have been using it for several weeks and I love how moisturizing it has been for my skin.
I really like that is cream is fragrance free and non irritating for sensitive skin. Besides added hydration my skin feels smoother and I am noticing lines are a bit less visible. Great bottle design with a top pump for easy application. Definitely recommend!
I received this cream for free from Butterly and Neostrata for my honest review.

My kids loved this Toothless! The toy is interactive and you have to start by earning Toothless’ trust. We followed the instructions and the different eye colours were the dragons different emotions. You can feed him with a fish that’s included and that was my 4 year olds favourite feature. Lots of sounds and overall it’s a great toy for How To Train Your Dragon fans. My kids are 8 and 4 and they love him.
We received Toothless for free from Butterly and SpinMaster.

Blue Lizard sunscreen has been great this summer for my family. This is the Blue Lizard Sensitive Mineral Sunscreen with SPF 50 and it’s been great for their little arms and legs. I’ve been using it for mine as well.
It contains aloe that is moisturizing and soothing for skin. It is Hypoallergenic, water resistant for up to 80mins, leaves no white cast (dries clear), and it has a colour change cap that becomes darker blue in UV light. My kids loved that.
Blue Lizard sensitive mineral sunscreen is a clean, vegan product which means NO fragrances, parabens or phthalates.
So we can enjoy our summer with a gentle but effective sunscreen!

Chapman’s Wolf Pass ice cream is our families new summer favourite!
Wolf Pass is a vanilla ice cream that has swirls of fudge ripple and peanut butter ripple. It also includes chocolate peanut butter cups AND fudge brownie bits.
This is definitely a premium ice cream flavour and a must try. Chapman’s ice cream is one of the many perks of being a Canadian as it is made in Markdale, Ontario. And not only are their treats delicious they are made with 100% Canadian dairy.

My kiddos got to try out Blue Lizard Kids 50 Mineral Sunscreen - an Australian sunscreen company that we received for free through Butterly.
☀️Simple for my kids to apply on their own the product goes on easily and leaves no white cast behind. I love that it can be worn for up to 80 mins in the water before having to reapply.
🕶️It provides broad spectrum UVA/UVB sun protection and works for all skin types.
🧴The mineral sunscreen also contains blue algae to nourish their skin.
🦎Besides the fun colours and the lizard on the packaging my kids loved the colour changing lid!
A great way to get your kids interested - when UV light is present the clear top of the tube turns blue letting you know it’s time to apply.
This will be a great addition to our beach bag this summer!

I’ve already been enjoying the benefits of TheraBreath Fresh Breath Oral Rinse mouthwash for a while now but thanks to Butterly and TheraBreath I got to try their Icy Mint flavour.
It definitely gives fresh minty breath!
I have used Mild Mint and (my favourite) the Sparkling Mint and they were great but not as strong and refreshing. Icy Mint is perfect for my mornings and Sparkling Mint I’ll keep using at night.
TheraBreath guarantees fresh breath for up to 12 hours and is alcohol free so no burning sensation.
Not only that it also contains NO artificial dyes and is certified kosher, vegan, and gluten-free.
TheraBreath Icy Mint is the best way to start your day!

I received this YSL Candy Glow in 3B - Rosewood Blush. It is a beautiful shade and goes on so smooth. It has shea butter to moisturize and hydrate your lips.
It lasted quite awhile but I did need to reapply after an hour or so. It also smells amazing - to me it smells like fuzzy peach candy.
The coolest part is that it contains pH adjusting pigments which means it creates a unique shade for everyone. These butter balms are so beautiful from the balm to the packaging.

We received a bottle of Zarbee’s Soothing Cough Syrup from Butterly for free. Well this arrived at the perfect time as all three of my kids have the same cough and runny nose for the last couple of days. This virus has been especially tough on my youngest - he had a fever and a really bad cough. In the past I have given him a spoonful of honey to help with his coughing. This cough syrup worked great! It is Peach & Honey flavoured and free from dyes, alcohol and artificial sweeteners and flavours. My little guy loved the taste and was excited that it had honey. He said “it tastes like bees” which means yummy and he refers to it as the bee medicine.
It helped his cough so much over the next few hours. I love this option for him when he is sick and not having to force him because he likes the taste. It is recommended for babies 12 months + so I don’t know how effective it would be on older children. It would be great in the future if Zarbee’s had some options for kids a bit older.
