I have been reading a lot about NAD+ lately and wondered if it would help boost my energy. I tried looking for supplements to order, but it was very confusing. as there are so many option out there. Just when I was about to give up, a bottle of NMN-600 from Advanced Orthomolecular Research (AOR) arrived at my door! (Butterley had selected me to try a free bottle in return for my honest opinion) I was excited to start trying the NMN 600 capsules for a a few reasons.
They are a Canadian Company!
The ingredient list is straightforward - 600 mg of beta-nicotinamide mononucleotide.
The label explains that nicotinamide mononucleotide is a NAD+ precursor which helps to maintain NAD+ levels that naturally decrease as we age. AOR's research indicates that NMN 600 helps in energy metabolism, tissue formation and can improve physical performance.
I take one pill a day, with or without food. I have just begun this new supplement - and a excited to see how I feel after taking it for the entire month.
I am adding it to my daily routine to help maintain my health. Will you join me in my pursuit to heathiness?

I received a Mastercraft Circuit Breaker Tracer and GFCI Tester (120V) free from @thisisbutterly and was asked to try it and write my opinion on it.. To be honest, I had no idea what this tool was made for or what it did. After spending some time googling, I discovered that it is used to identify which circuit breaker controls a specific outlet. This tool turned out to be very helpful, as my electrical box was never properly labelled, so it was always a guessing game which switch controlled which area.
The Mastercraft Circuit Breaker Tracer and GFCI Tester includes two pieces. (It requires a 9V battery, which is conveniently included in the package). One plugs into a wall outlet, and the other is a handheld receiver that scans the circuit breakers until it identifies the correct switch. Once I understood how it worked, I found it to be very helpful as it saved me time and effort that I would have spent flipping switches and running back and forth between rooms.
The Mastercraft Circuit Breaker Tracer and GFCI Tester also includes a GFCI outlet tester which is supposed to help detect basic wiring issues (however I never figured out how this would work)..
Although the instructions could be more beginner-friendly, especially for someone who is not familiar with electrical work, the device itself works well once you get the hang of it. If you are a homeowner or someone looking to better understand your electrical panel, this tool could be a very practical addition to your toolbox.

In our house, bacon and eggs have always been known as “special breakfast.” Recently, we made it extra special by trying Butterball Applewood Smoked Turkey Bacon.
I cooked the turkey bacon in a pan for about 7 minutes until it reached our perfect level of crispiness. Compared to traditional pork bacon, it has 85% less fat, which means it is a healthier alternative with far less grease splatter and an easier clean-up (something I truly appreciate). The applewood smoke gives it a rich, savory flavor that made us feel like we had a restaurant style breakfast.
One thing to note is that the texture is different from regular bacon, which might take a little getting used to if you’re making the switch. However, I found it light, flavorful, and satisfying without feeling greasy afterwards.
Overall, Butterball’s Applewood Smoked Turkey Bacon made our family breakfast feel extra special while still being a lighter, cleaner option. It’s a great choice for those who want to enjoy the flavor of bacon with less fat and mess.

Recently I broke my foot and cannot put any weight on it for 12 weeks!!!! So I never imagined that I could cook turkey for dinner anytime soon.
However, thanks to a coupon from @thisisbutterly I recently tried Butterball Turkey Franks. It was an easy and hassle-free dinner that I was able to cook while hobbling around my kitchen. I simply scored the Butterball Turkey Franks and popped them in the air fryer for 6 minutes at 390 degrees. They ended up being perfectly cooked—crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. No prep, no mess, and no standing around the kitchen (which is a good thing, because I can't stand on my left foot for very long!)
Not only were the Butterball Turkey Franks super convenient, but they also tasted delicious. I was surprised by how flavorful they were for turkey dogs—savory, not too salty, and a nice change from beef hotdogs. I am also happy they contain 100% turkey meat! They’ve definitely earned a permanent spot in my freezer for quick meals, broken foot or not! Turkey during the week is a great treat and I look forward to having it again soon!
Highly recommend if you want something quick, tasty, and a bit lighter than your average hot dog.

Thanks to @thisisbutterly I recently tried the Blue Lizard SPF 50+ Mineral Sunscreen Stick. I have wanted to try a sunscreen stick for awhile now but never seemed to find one that would easily fit into my purse. The Blue Lizard SPF 50+ Mineral Sunscreen Stick is 14g, so it is the perfect size for keeping in my bag or pocket. The stick format makes it easy to apply, and reapply for quick touch-ups on my face, ears, and neck. It goes on smoothly without feeling greasy, and it stays put during hot weather and outdoor activities.
For my sensitive skin, I appreciate that the Blue Lizard SPF 50+ Mineral Sunscreen Stick contains zinc oxide, a mineral-based active ingredient, which does not cause any irritation or breakouts, and provides a strong, broad-spectrum protection from both UVA and UVB rays. I also love that the formula is fragrance-free, reef-safe, and water-resistant for up to 80 minutes, which makes it a great option for beach days or sports.
Heads-up: like most zinc sticks, it can leave a bit of a white cast—blend well! Also, it does not sit well over makeup, it works best on bare skin or under your base.
Overall, the Blue Lizard SPF 50+ Stick is skin-friendly, and practical—especially for anyone looking for effective sun protection in a portable format.

Thanks to a free jar from @thisisbutterly I’ve recently added Swiss Natural ChoLessterol to my daily routine. It’s been such a simple and effective step toward supporting my heart health. Just 2 capsules a day, and I’m done—it couldn’t be easier.
Swiss Natural ChoLessterol is made with Vegapure® plant sterol esters, which are clinically proven to help reduce cholesterol. With 2 capsules daily you can lower LDL (bad) cholesterol by 4–7%, and and if you take 4 capsules you can reduce it by up to 14%. It can also help lower your total cholesterol by up to 6%, which is pretty impressive for a natural supplement.
Swiss Natural ChoLessterol is ideal for anyone with elevated cholesterol levels, especially if you’re trying to take a more natural approach to your health. If you’re already on prescription meds like statins, this product can be safely taken alongside them with no known interactions, which makes it a great option for combination therapy.
I also try to follow a heart-healthy diet, so it’s nice to have something that complements those efforts without adding extra work. I also appreciate that they are made with clean ingredients—no artificial flavours, preservatives, dairy, gluten, wheat, or yeast.
Just a note: they are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, so be sure to check with your doctor if that applies to you.
To make your life even easier, you can pick up a jar of Swiss Natural ChoLessterol online or in stores at Amazon, Shoppers Drug Mart, Well.ca, and Vitamart.
If you’re looking for a natural, clinically backed way to support your cholesterol, Swiss Natural ChoLessterol is definitely worth a try.

I recently received the Stir-Fry flavor of the Rice Stuff Box, free from @thisisbutterly in return for my honest review. This easy, quick lunch option is a total winner. It has that classic fried rice feel, with jasmine rice, savory seasoning, and just the right amount of flavor. It was a super satisfying working lunch option.
Prep is a breeze: mix in the seasonings, add 1/2 cup of water, microwave, and you’re done in minutes. What I love most? You can eat it right out of the box—no extra dishes, no mess, just heat and go. Perfect for work lunches, quick snacks, or when you're too hungry to wait.
The Stir-Fry flavour is available at Costco in Western Canada, which makes it easy to stock up!
Quick, healthy, and Canadian-made—it checks all the boxes. Plus, it is lower in sodium than instant noodles, packed with clean ingredients, and totally free of gluten, dairy, artificial flavours, or GMOs. It is a great vegan option!
I’ll definitely be keeping a few of these in the pantry.

I recently tried the OGX Restoring + Bonding Plex Protein Repair Sealing Serum for free from @thisisbutterly in return for my honest review. My hair is dry, frizzy, damaged, and prone to breakage, so I was really hoping this serum would help strengthen and smooth my hair.
Here’s my honest review!
This serum is lightweight, non-greasy, and easy to apply. I used it on damp hair before styling, and I immediately noticed how soft and smooth my hair felt. I also used it on my dry hair to help smooth flyways. Over time, I’ve seen less breakage and fewer flyaways, and my hair looks shinier and healthier overall. It also adds a nice layer of protection against heat styling, which is a huge plus!
Like the rest of the Bonding Plexline, the scent is amazing—it has that luxurious salon fragrance that makes my hair smell fresh all day.
For best results, I recommend pairing this serum with the OGX Restoring + Bonding Plex Shampoo and Conditioner. Together, they work to repair, strengthen, and protect hair from damage. If you’re looking for an affordable, effective way to reduce breakage and boost shine, this serum is definitely worth trying!

I recently tried the OGX Restoring + Bonding Plex Shampoo for free from **@thisisbutterly in return for my honest review. My hair is normally dry, frizzy, damaged, and hard to style, so I was curious to see how this shampoo would work for me. Since I’ve been using the same shampoo and conditioner for years, I was a bit hesitant to try something new.
Here’s my honest review!
First, this shampoo is sulfate-free, making it a gentle option for preventing further damage. It lathered well for a sulfate-free formula, making it easy to apply and work through my hair. It cleansed without stripping moisture, leaving my hair feeling fresh but not dried out. In fact, my hair felt silky even before applying conditioner—which was a first for me!
And the scent? So good! It smells like a high-end salon brand and stays throughout the day!
For best results, I recommend using this shampoo along with the matching conditioner and the Protein Repair Sealing Serum. Together, they work to strengthen and restore damaged hair. If you're looking for an affordable, salon-quality shampoo to help repair and protect your hair, OGX Restoring + Bonding Plex is definitely worth trying!
