I received the Vileda Scrunge free as part of a free trial. The sponge itself has good absorbency, and is made of quality materials. The scrubby side isn’t too abrasive, which was good for non-stick surfaces. However, on countertops and other solid surfaces it wasn’t quite abrasive enough.
Overall, I would purchase this in the future.

We received a bottle of the Tylenol Rapid Release Gels as part of a free trial and I am so glad that we did.
The first night these came in the mail my husband took one for general muscle soreness, and was feeling better within minutes. Nothing has worked that quickly for him before.
I tried the Rapid Release Gels today for upper back soreness, with very similar results.
We will definitely be purchasing this product!

I received these wipes from Babyganics and Family Rated as part of a package of items to try for free.
My kids are fully potty trained, so I didn’t have an opportunity to try these for diaper changes. However, moms know that wipes have so many other uses than just on little bums. We tried these out on hands, and faces and they worked great. The texture was soft, and the thickness was substantial enough to handle multiple swipes without tearing.
I probably would not buy these wipes again, as we’re out of the wipe stage.

I received a free bottle of this shampoo and body wash from Babyganics and Family Rated. I had not heard of this brand before, but have been pleasantly surprised.
The shampoo and body wash is gentle, and the scent is pleasant, but not overpowering. The packaging is also great! The pump is easy for little hands to use, and the foaming action helps prevent those little hands from getting to much product.
If using this with a bath pouf, you’ll need a few pumps. However, if you use this with a cloth or hands, you can get away with much less.

I was sent this product to try by Babyganics and Family Rated. I had never heard of this brand before, but I was excited to try it out.
After using the moisturizer for about a week, my family is very happy with the results. It worked great on my sons’ sensitive, dry winter skin. My husband even tried it on his cracked hands and the improvement was instantaneous.
The consistency of the moisturizer is smooth and silky. There is no greasy or sticky residue which we’ve experienced with other lotions. We will definitely be purchasing this product, though probably the scented version. The scent of the fragrance free version (ingredients + packaging) was slightly off putting to me.

I was excited to order a dress for New Year’s Eve. I ordered in November to allow plenty of time to arrive. At first everything was tracking according to the promised schedule. Then my dress got tied up in customs India. No big deal, there was still enough time for my order to arrive for New Years. I contacted the courier to see if they had more information on the customs delay and was advised to contact the shipper as they would have needed to be in contact with customs agents. I emailed eShakti for an update and was told items will usually clear in a few days (like it was no big deal and happens all the time). My follow-up question as to what happens if the dress does not arrive in time for the event remains unanswered.
On December 21 an eShakti package finally arrived, 7 days late. I was willing to overlook the lack of response, as my dress had finally arrived. Or so I thought. Upon opening the package it became very apparent that I had been shipped the wrong dress. I had ordered a full length floral gown customized to my measurements, I received a knee length plaid concoction that wasn’t even close to my size. I promptly called eShakti customer service and the woman I spoke with was very nice and apologetic. She asked if I could send her pictures of what I had received and the label, so she could figure out what happened. I did as requested within 5 minutes of hanging up from the call, sending it to her attention as she requested so that she could look into things right away. An hour later I received a response via email from the same woman I spoke to on the phone saying she’d forwarded on my email and I could expect a response in 24-48 hours.
Today is December 26 and I still have no response and no dress. I followed up this morning via email and received a canned response about their return process. Nothing about the location of my order, nor how to return someone else’s order that was shipped to me in error.
Bottom line, I would not order from eShakti again and I really hope I’ll eventually receive a credit.

Annie’s and Family Rated sent us a sample of these shells, but we were already fans. The shape and texture of the noodles, as well as the creamy cheese sauce have made these a favourite in our house. They’re quick and easy to make, and taste delicious! For those days when you haven’t had time to meal prep, or are just craving comfort food, Annie’s shells are a must. -

Received a sample of these from Annie’s and Family Rated to try out. We were not disappointed. Creamy cheese sauce, and great noodle texture. The only drawback for me was the bright orange/yellow colour, which I can only assume is to position Annie’s to compete with Kraft.
It was a hit with our whole family. My 42 year old husband said it reminded him of his childhood, but tasted better!

Cascade pods are by far the best I've tried! Not only do they get my dishes clean, but they also fit easily in the soap dispenser of my dishwasher. The lower profile of these pods means I don't have to squish, smash, or otherwise force them into the their proper place, which I have had to do with other pods and pellets. -

This was a great pillow for nursing my twins. It is sturdy enough to support both babies weight and keep them in the correct position for feeding. The straps keep the pillow in place and the pocket is a convient place to keep snacks for mom! Would definitely recommend this to any twin moms. -
