Foaming hand soap is a favorite in our house and this one is no exception. Its great for teaching our toddler how to wash and make sure the bubbles coat his hands before rinsing. The scent is light and flowery and not overpowering or too "girly" for my husband. Best of all for me, it didn't aggravate my psoriasis which has been in full force thanks to all the handwashing with COVID. I also really liked that the pump could be turned to close which made it an obvious choice to put in our trailer for the summer. -
Tazo Refresh Mint Herbal Tea
This is my preferred brand of mint tea. It’s nice and refreshing with out being overpowering. This tea is good on its own or also with a slice of lemon and honey.

By far my favourite tea from Tazo. I consider this “anytime” tea, it’s perfect for 1st thing in the morning and also goes good with fries and hockey 😉
The flavour is nice and fruity with a hint of spice to stop it from being overly sweet. I always take mine black and well steeped and I’ve never found it to be weak or stale tasting

The whole family loves Mott's Fruitsation Applesauce cups so are always happy to add a new flavour into rotation.
The mango peach flavour is subtle rather than enhanced by artificial flavours so what is always a bonus. We try to steer away from added sugar in our snacks since fruit already naturally has sugar so very happy that this is unsweetened.

I made the switch to natural deodorants years ago because I found I was itchy from most antiperspirant and deodorants.
I really liked the cucumber and green tea scent, its nice and fresh without being overpowering. It lasted a long time, even after house cleaning and chores I still felt fresh.
The best part of this deodorant is that even after shaving my pits did not get itchy.

The sample recipe on the back and the picture of the chili pepper gave me a clue that this was going to be a hot spice blend so decided it would be a good bbq seasoning. I made a simple marinade of harissa spice, olive oil, and lemon juice for the chicken and tofu. I also made an aioli of harissa spice, mayo, lemon juice, and water to serve on the side.
The tofu and chicken were marinated for only an hour or two so not overly spicy, but the aioli was hot! Also, super delicious, the whole meal was devoured and my husband said he would eat it again, and soon :)
I really like that these are pure spice blends so it is true flavour with no additives or fillers. The package has enough in it for 5-6 meals like the one I made.

I'm vegetarian so based on the sample recipe on the back of the package, I decided to make a simple stew with a coconut milk base. I wasn't sure how spicy Berbere seasoning would be so I used about half of the suggested amount. The flavour was a nice rich earthy spice rather than hot/chili spice.
I really like that this is pure spice blend, there is no salt, starch, or other fillers, so it is just flavour. The amount of seasoning in the package is enough for at least another 4 stews like the one I made.

Between mild psoriasis and what feels like constant hand washing thanks to cold & flu season, my hands are dried out. My normal routine is wash, dry, lotion, repeat. I was a little hesitant on this product as I figured my first hand wash would remove all the lotion. I wrapped my hands and the tabs held the gloves nice and snug for the recommended 10 mins - actually might have been a bit more as I was engrossed in my show 😉. Anywhoo, after I took off the gloves and massaged in the remaining lotion my hands were very dewy feeling, but not quite to the point of being damp. The next morning my hands still felt nice and moisturized. I continued through my regular day and was surprised to realise I hadn't needed any additional moisturizer! I think the results lasted close to 24 hours which I was very happy with. I wouldn't use this everyday as that would get expensive quick, but would definitely use again.

I was sent this product for free in exchange for my review.
I'll start off by saying my feet are always dry and cracked so I had high hopes for this product.
I found that the sticky tabs did not hold very well, but since I was sitting with my feet up that didn't affect me. After the recommended 10 mins I unwrapped my feet and massaged in the remaining lotion. My feet did feel nice and soft, but also oddly cold the rest of the day.
I wish that the affects had lasted longer, but by the next morning my feet were just as dry as ever.

Figured going out for ladies night was a perfect time to try out my new Swarzkopf Hair Mascara.
1st step cover the greys 😬
Then, noticed my purple ombre is really starting to fade so covered the blonde up too to match my roots.
I'm really impressed how well "Medium Brown" blended with my natural colour. Also it styled well and doesn't have an obvious texture difference where I applied it.
