When it comes to toilet paper, I'm pretty boring and often stick to the same brand and variety; however, on occasion, when go to isn't available, I will try alternatives. I recently had the opportunity to try Purex Premium and I love how soft and absorbent they were. They were not scratchy, or rough and because they are 2 ply, they were absorbent so that I didn't go through a roll as quickly. I also really enjoyed that the squares don't come apart easily, as it always drives me bananas when I'm in a rush and each square rips off separately. -

My daughter is younger and was more interested in opening these and the element of surprise than in the contents. These figures were cute and for the price, the quality matched. I think these are most suited for girls around age 5. Anything older and likely wouldn't be too interested and any younger and they would be too young and not really know what to do with them. -

If you have dry skin and live in a dry climate then you know what extra skin is like. The Mineral 89 Hydrating booster is a lifestyle saver and a staple in my routine. hydrating booster meant for all skin types. This hydrating serum is packed with Hyaluronic Acid and 15 minerals contained in thermal water originating from French volcanoes.
I generally use this after cleansing and toning my skin before using other serums and moisturizing both in the AM and PM. This booster helps bolster the moisture level in my skin and keeps it from drying out throughout day and while sleeping at night.
Upon application, this serum feels cool and refreshing, and immediately quenches your skin's thirst. However, it does not immediately get absorbed into the skin and helps skin maintain moisture.

The latest and greatest from By Wishtrend is the Pro-Biome Balance Cream. The main active ingredients in this cream are propolis extract from the Auvergne volcanic region in France, lactobacillus Ferment lysate, and a biome complex. These ingredients work in synergy to help moisturize, strengthen the skin barrier, and soothe irritated skin.
This moisturizer is a lightweight gel texture most suited for oily and combination skin types. My skin is quite on the dry end of the spectrum, so I would generally need something a lot more rich and emollient to keep my skin hydrated. However, this cream could work in the summer months, if I make sure to layer well with ampoules, essences, and serums in the preceding steps in my routine.
It feels quite refreshing when first applied to the skin. The consistency is quite thin and it melts right into the skin, quickly absorbed.
There is no artificial fragrance contained in this moisturizer. You will note a very faint scent, however, that is a result of the ingredients rather than from additional fragrance added to the products.

The Nutrient Blends line contains a range of products packed with nutrients according to what the respective concern the product targets.
The Hydrating Glow shampoo contains baobao essence, and a blend of Vitamin B5 and antioxidants meant to bring intense hydration to your hair and transform your hair to a soft, silky, and glowy dream! It is also free of parabens, sulfates, silicone, dyes and mineral oil which I believe should be relatively standard these days.
My hair is on the drier side these days and prone to occasional frizziness. Blame it on the hormones. The hard water in Alberta also does not help the dryness. But this shampoo left my hair feeling soft, smooth and brought back some of that natural glossy shine to it! Both these products are fragranced. I would rate it somewhere in the middle. Definitely, more than lightly fragranced, but not so strong that you still smell it on your hair after fully rinsing your hair.

A tiny dime sized dollop is all that's really needed to cleanse your face.
It has a gel like consistency and doesn't have a ton of lather or foam up when cleansing.
It contains 3% oat kernel oil which helps your skin maintain your skin barrier; and 1% colloidal oatmeal which helps to reduce redness and soothe irritation.
This cleanser did not leave my skin feeling overcleansed and tight, when using this to remove makeup or SPF at the end of the day. I found it worked for me best this way. In the mornings, I generally stick to a milk cleanser because my skin is on the drier side to begin with.
I love that this cleanser is fragrance free, vegan, cruelty free, and a really affordable option!

I generally am a strictly butter only baker especially when it comes to pastry because just can't achieve the same flakiness without it, but I recently had the opportunity to try out the Becel with Oat Beverage margarine.
I ended up making a batch of chocolate chip cookies because who doesn't like chocolate chip cookies?
Margarine is not nearly as firm as butter, so I did chill my cookie dough for a good 45 minutes to avoid my cookies all spreading and becoming one in the oven. Overnight probably would have been better, but who can wait that long? 😂
Overall, the cookies turned out soft and chewy and I wouldn't have known it was not butter, because I prefer making soft and chewy cookies when I use butter.
This margarine is pretty tasty on its own, so if you are looking for a healthier alternative to butter, this might be a great option. This margarine is made with oat milk and therefore, plant based, low in saturated fat, and it is also gluten free, so if that's you, this might be a good option!

I love starting the day with the Cleansing Almond Milk because my skin is dry and generally when I wake up, I prefer something light, nourishing, & soothing.
The main ingredients in this cleanser are: Almond oil and castor oil, cornflower water, and polyphenol. The Almond oil helps to nourish and keep your skin soft. The cornflower water soothes. And the polyphenol are rich in antioxidants and hydrating.
This cleansing milk doesn't have a ton of lather, and is very lightly fragranced. This cleanser is perfect dor dry and sensitive skin, as it soothes and hydrates, as opposed to strip your skin of natural oils. And it is also gentle enough to used around the eyes as well.

The eye cream is a very lightweight cream that melts into the skin effortlessly. Fresh out of the tube, it is on the thicker side.
The primary ingredients: tetrapeptide complex to target dark circles and puffiness, centella to reduce the look of fine lines, and camellia seed oil to nourish the eye area.
I have to say after giving this eye cream a 2 week run, despite living an often sleep-deprived, always on the go life, you wouldn't be able to tell that byooking at me if I did t tell you because I have no puffiness and massive bags under my eyes.
I appreciate these products came in brown glass bottles meant to filter out uv light that can break down the active ingredients. I also really loved that this eye cream came in a pump bottle. I prefer eye creams to come in a tube or packaging with a pump like this as opposed to in a open jar in which you stick your fingers into. It feels more sanitary this way.
And if all that isn't impressive enough, these products are 100% natural, vegan, cruelty-free, & gluten free.

Usually, the words detox are enough to send me running because I associate detox with deep cleansing, harsh, but the Grown Alchemist Detox Serum is none of these things.
The primary ingredients: antioxidant complex in this serum helps to neutralize free radicals, niacinamide to support the skin barrier and help with redness, and panthenol has soothing benefits.
It is a lightweight gel formula with a slightly viscous liquid consistency and somewhere between a pump or 2 is the perfect amount of product for my face. Initially, it feels slightly sticky, but after you give it a minute or 2, it is fully absorbed and your skin feels amazing! No greasiness or residue left behind, but your skin feels so smooth, supple, and soft.
