Butterly gifted me the Method Foaming Hand Wash in Sandalwood + Cedar for free, in exchange for my honest review. The pump creates a rich, fluffy foam that spreads easily, so one pump is plenty for a thorough wash. It removes everyday dirt and grime without leaving my hands feeling stripped or dry.
The fragrance is what really makes this hand wash stand out. It has a warm, woody scent that feels cozy and a little luxurious, but it isn’t too overpowering. The scent lingers lightly on my hands afterward, leaving them feeling clean, soft and fresh. I also appreciate that it’s made without parabens or phthalates and is gentle enough for everyday handwashing. The bottle looks lovely beside my sink, and I like that the bottle, excluding the pump, is made from 100% collected and recycled plastic. This has turned an ordinary part of my day into a small self-care moment.

I was gifted The Halifax Honey Stingin’ Hot Honey Original Keychain for free in exchange for my honest review. I honestly didn’t know I needed hot honey on a keychain until I tried this product. It has such a good balance of sweet and spicy. You get that rich honey flavour first, followed by a nice kick from the pickled chilies. It has enough heat to make things interesting without completely taking over the flavour of your food.
Of course, I had to try it on pizza first, and it was SO good! The sweet heat was especially good with the pepperoni and completely changed an ordinary pizza.
The 95 mL keychain bottle might be my favourite part though. I actually brought it along with me on vacation, which was the perfect chance to put the whole “hot honey on the go” idea to the test. I clipped it onto my bag and had it with me for meals, including pizza by the pool. It’s such a fun little thing to pull out when you want to add some sweet heat to your food, and because it’s flight safe, it’s especially convenient for travelling.
I also love that it’s Canadian-made in Nova Scotia, crafted in small batches and made with just unpasteurized honey, chilies and white vinegar. Simple ingredients, delicious flavour and such a clever way to take your hot honey with you. After bringing this little bottle on vacation, I think it has officially earned a permanent spot on my bag!

I really enjoyed the Spinnakers Apricot Sparkling Mineral Water! The apricot flavour is light and refreshing without tasting overly sweet or artificial, and I love that there’s zero sugar, zero sweeteners and zero calories. You can definitely taste the difference in the mineral water itself—it has a really crisp, bright taste that makes it more interesting than regular carbonated water.
I also think it’s pretty cool that the natural mineral water comes from an ancient aquifer 225 feet below Spinnakers Brew Pub here on Vancouver Island. As someone from BC, I love finding good local products, and this is one I’d happily buy again. It’s especially good served really cold!

This was such a convenient meal when I needed something quick but still wanted something nutritious. I ate it straight from the can, and it was surprisingly flavourful. The combination of light tuna, red beans, corn, peppers, and spices gave it a little kick without being too spicy. It felt fresh, had a good mix of textures, and the 16 g of protein plus 5 g of fibre made it much more filling than I expected. I also appreciate that it’s made without preservatives and is ready whenever you need it. I’d happily pack this for work, road trips, or an easy lunch at home.

I really enjoyed how easy this was to grab when I needed a quick lunch. I ate it straight from the can, which made it perfect for a busy day without having to prepare anything. The tuna tasted fresh, and the couscous mixed with the chickpeas, peas, and tomatoes gave it a nice balance of texture and flavour. It was satisfying without feeling heavy, and with 16 g of protein plus fibre, it actually kept me full until dinner. I also like that it’s made in Italy and doesn’t contain preservatives. This is definitely something I’d keep on hand for work lunches or when I’m short on time.

Butterly gifted me THE BOG Sweet N’ Spicy Cranberry Pepper Jelly. I tried it with buttery triple-cream brie and creamy blue cheese on crackers, with fresh green grapes from my garden, and it was such a good combination. The cranberry flavour is sweet and tangy, then you get a little kick from the jalapeño and habanero that keeps you reaching for another bite.
Next on my list is trying it on burgers or brushed over grilled chicken because I think it would be just as good. I also love that it’s made right here in BC by a small Canadian family farm, and it’s available year-round—not just during the holidays. Even better, you can now find it at Save-On-Foods stores across BC and Alberta.

Butterly gifted me Thursday Plantation Tea Tree Medicated Acne Gel for free in exchange for my honest review.
I’ve been using the Thursday Plantation Tea Tree Medicated Acne Gel as a spot treatment whenever I notice a breakout starting, and it’s been a great addition to my skincare routine. The gel is lightweight, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t leave behind a sticky residue, which makes it easy to use both morning and night.
I like that it’s formulated with 20% Tea Tree Oil and camphor, and is free from benzoyl peroxide. I apply a small amount directly to blemishes after cleansing, and I’ve noticed that it helps calm the appearance of pimples and makes breakouts look less angry and noticeable. It’s also convenient to keep in my bag thanks to the compact tube size.
Another thing that stood out to me is Thursday Plantation’s long history with Tea Tree Oil. This year marks their 50th anniversary, and it’s impressive to see a brand that has spent decades refining and sourcing quality Australian Tea Tree Oil from farm to bottle.
If you’re looking for an easy spot treatment to help manage whiteheads, blackheads, and occasional pimples, this is definitely worth trying. #TeaTreeOil #ThursdayPlantation #PatchPerfect #teatreeskincare #teatreeforacne

Butterly gifted me Halifax’s Stingin’ Hot Honey Original Edition for free in exchange for my honest review.
I’m always looking for easy ways to add more flavour to everyday meals, and Halifax Stingin’ Hot Honey Original Edition was such a fun find. The first thing I tried it on was pizza, and after one drizzle I understood the hype. It starts with the rich sweetness of real honey and then finishes with a gentle kick from the chilies that keeps you reaching for another bite.
What I like most is that the heat doesn’t overpower the flavour. It adds just enough spice to make food more exciting while still letting the honey shine through. Since opening it, I’ve used it on pizza, chicken, salmon, and even avocado toast. Every time it adds that perfect sweet-and-spicy balance.
I also appreciate that it’s made in Nova Scotia with simple ingredients and real wildflower honey. The texture is smooth, easy to drizzle, and a little goes a long way.
If you enjoy sweet heat, this is definitely worth trying. It’s become a staple in my kitchen, and I can see why it’s Canada’s most loved hot honey. Plus, it’s available on Amazon, making it easy to grab another bottle when you run out!

Butterly gifted me Chapman’s Premium Pecan Butter Tart Ice Cream for free in exchange for my honest review.
As a big fan of butter tarts, I was really excited to try Chapman’s new Pecan Butter Tart Premium Ice Cream, and it did not disappoint. The flavour instantly reminded me of a classic Canadian butter tart, with rich buttery sweetness and subtle maple notes throughout. The ice cream itself is incredibly creamy, and I loved finding pieces of praline pecans and buttery sugar cookie chunks in every scoop.
What stood out most to me was the balance of textures. The crunchy pecans and cookie pieces add just the right amount of bite without overpowering the smooth, rich ice cream. It feels indulgent and comforting at the same time.
I also appreciate that it’s made with 100% Canadian dairy, natural flavours and colours, and comes in a full 2L container. No shrinkflation here! It’s the perfect dessert to share with family or enjoy on a warm summer evening.
If you love butter tarts, maple flavours, or classic Canadian desserts, this is definitely one to add to your grocery list. I found mine at Quality Foods and will happily be buying it again.
