Monopoly brings back a lot of childhood memories with the family during holidays but I also can’t forget that the game would never end since we were all so competitive. A game could last 2-3 hours depending how many people were playing.
This problem is solved with the new Monopoly giant edition as they changed the rules slightly to get the full experience in 30 minutes or less. The giant board, dice and tokens make this game even for fun for children and adults alike. This would also help to not lose children’s interest in the game. One big change is that there is no longer Monopoly money or a banker as you now can use the Million Money Meter. Also the most money you can make is capped at 14 which helps to make the game end sooner.
The new rule of the game is that If you land on an empty property space, you MUST buy it. You then mark the space with the green side of your Property Card and when another player lands on the space, they pay you the amount shown on the gameboard using their Million Money Meter. They also have some additional rules if you want to stay in the game longer once your meter reaches zero.
I enjoyed playing this game and would definitely recommend this to families with children between the ages of 6-12 who want their kids to experience the fun of monopoly.
Thanks @thisisbutterly for sending me the Monopoly giant edition for free in exchange for a review.

This is one of my favourite products of 2023 that I was sent by @thisisbutterly to try out for a honest review. The NOMA Cassian 52” LED Ceiling fan has a modern look with brushed nickel finish and 3 ABS blades in a light-washed wood finish.
Being used to ceiling fans with regular lights, I’ve realized that ceiling fans have come a long way since the 2000s. I was worried that the ceiling fan wouldn’t produce enough light but I was definitely wrong as the long lasting integrated 18w LED made all the difference and they are even dimmable. The colour adjustable lights are also a nice touch.
The opal white polycarbonate shade is also convenient as the light cover is not glass as this piece can sometimes be tricky to install.
This was installed in my bedroom which is slightly overkill as this 52” size is meant for a large room but we think that it works very well in the space. The remote control is easy to use and allows you to adjust the speed, rotation, light colour and also dim the lights. This ceiling fan is very quiet even at the highest speed and works well to circulate airflow. My only complaint would be that it would be ideal to have the option of making this ceiling fan a flush mount option for those using one in lower/ normal ceilings height. I would definitely recommend this product to friends and family.
NOMA products are available at Canadian tire stores.

As someone who occasionally gets blemishes, these hero mighty patches come in clutch to help clear up your skin.
I apply these directly on the pimple during my nightly skin routine after cleansing and drying the affected area. Since this should be left for 6-8 hours, wearing them while you sleep makes the most sense and this is also what is recommended . Once it is peeled off the next morning, the blemish looks less inflamed and more flat. I like that this pack comes with 36 patches so it will last you a long time. I would recommend this product to those with occasional whiteheads or blemishes.

@thisisbutterly and @TrojanCanada sent me the Trojan Duet 2-in-1 Vibrating Massager + Ring to try out for a honest review.
This massager + ring has 10 different setting and duel motors for extra fun. I liked how modern and sleek the design of this toy was. The colour is nice it has a smooth texture. It is a soft silicone material which is water resistant making it super easy to clean. The charging port is so small and not noticeable which is impressive. I would recommend this if you are looking to change things up with your partner or if you are solo.

I received a sample size of the Sambucol black elderberry vegan gummy from @thisisbutterly. After trying the sample out (used to receiving full size products) , I realized that I was expected to review the product so this is why I didn’t get a picture of the actual gummy.
However, I was overall impressed with the texture of the gummy as it was better than vegan gummies I’ve tried in the past. They was also a sugar crystallized coating on each gummy which made these too sweet for me. The flavour of the gummies were good but only received 4 gummies in total so can not provide a review on whether these would help with immune support. They were good but I don’t know whether I would purchase these again.

@thisisbutterly sent me the PADERNO Non-Stick Champagne Frypan available at Canadian tire to test and provide my thoughts. I find that most of my frying pans lose their non stick feature quickly so was happy to receive this pan.
The frypan was light making it easy to lift and has a silicone grip which is cool to the touch. I also like the champagne colour of the metal coating.
The best test is frying an egg without any sort of fat or oil. I used a gas stove and let the pan heat up slowing to extend the life of non-stick benefits. The pan worked well and noticed there was optimal heat distribution. I appreciate that this pan has a PFOA-free non-stick which helps to prevent food from sticking to the surface. This frypan is made with a heavy-gauge aluminum body making it durable as well.
This pan is also safe for all stovetop and oven safe up to 400°F although I did not test this pan in the oven. I would definitely purchase PADERNO kitchen products in the future.

@thisisbutterly made my day when they sent me the new Lancôme Rénergie H.C.F. Triple Serum which is a triple-dose serum of Hyaluronic Acid, C + Niacinamide Vitamins and Ferulic Acid.
I’ve never heard of ferulic acid but after some research saw the main benefit is reducing inflammation which can lead to breakouts. In turn, it can help reduce the appearance of discolouration from acne and prevent pimples.
Hyaluronic acid serum can improve overall skin flexibility and elasticity while vitamin C and niacinamide can help brighten skin tone by reducing areas of hyperpigmentation while reducing the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and other signs of skin aging. It can also shrink the appearance of pores which is something my face could use some help with.
After using this serum consistently, I noticed that my skin was brighter and my complexion was more smooth. My pores were also refined or appeared smaller and overall redness was visibly reduced. As for fine lines, I currently don’t have too many aside from my eye ear when I smile but noticed they are slightly less defined or noticeable. I enjoyed using this serum and would recommend to others. #lancomehcftripleserum

NOMA Advanced Custom Lights C9 LED 100
Not sure that I did my math right but this 99 metre Stringer light was way to big for my outdoor space. It would be optimal if this could be broken into 15-20 foot pieces so you can customize to what you need.
