I love Glysomed during the winter months, it definitely does the trick for helping my chapped hands. HOWEVER the scented version is VERY overpowering. I am prone to headaches when things are too perfume scented, and this is definitely scented. I can smell it from across the room when my kids use it and I am not a big fan. For those who work in fragrance free offices, this particular one is not for you. The unscented is MUCH better for those with fragrance sensitivities. It is a little pricier than other brands, but you don't have to reapply as much, it doesn't feel watered down and feels like it protects. -

I have ALWAYS loved Sharpie markers, regardless of tip size! They are strong in colour, none of this faded red or blue, and they don't squish down in the tip like other competitors. The ONE and only down side of these markers is that they leak when using them on regular copy paper. :( I use them everywhere but because they leak I often have to use an alternative (usually their gel version). I use them to label zip lock freezer bags, mark kids clothes, write notes, etc. -

I won't lie, Feramax is MUCH more expensive than the usual competition it has out there in regards to Iron Supplements - HOWEVER what most people don't realize is that it has a higher dosage per capsule than its competitors. I have been anemic my entire life, and Feramax has been the only over the counter iron supplement that has given me actual results, I have seen my iron count rise significantly and has allowed for me to move on with my day without feeling lethargic. I have tried it all, and I can honestly tell you I have been let down by every other product.
The amount of energy I've been able to regain since taking Feramax is like night and day. I have found it is more effective if I take it at the same time of day. I of course have missed the odd day here and there, but it has definitely helped me get out of my anemic rut. I will continue to use it despite its higher price point - sometimes its worth it to spend more money for something that works.

We love this product because of its effectiveness and value. We found the refills to be inexpensive.
We are able to prolong each refill life but just smacking the sister outside then putting it away. It’s light weight and compact.
Kids are able to dust around the tv and mantles without issue. Other brands we found would scratch or snag on our furniture.
The dust also really does get locked into the product and doesn’t just get pushed or around of float into the air and fall back into shelves.
Love it!

Both my daughter and I have worked these charcoal strips of magic into our weekly regiment!
They do the trick and keep our nose pores clear. There is of course the odd spot here or there, but that is more due to user error by not wetting the entire nose and applying firmly.
It takes some time to really master the application, and making sure that you push firmly at the crease of your nose where it meets your cheek.
The trick is to SLOWLY remove the strip and not to just rip it off quickly.Slowly and straight up, and ALWAYS make sure the strip has dried completely.
Its well worth the purchase, wait for sales and stock up if you must!
Unlike other brands, these will leave a little bit of black residue, but a quick rinse will fix. ALSO make sure you wash your face PRIOR to application otherwise face oils will prevent best results.

I was given the wonderful opportunity to test the Tetley Super Teas for free from Chick Advisor, and it has been such a great experience.
I was able to try all these new flavours first hand so that I could make a well educated decision on what teas will be a pantry staple. The value and quality of this tea stays top notch, while simultaneously giving me a new spin on green tea adding this tropical spin on comfort tea.
Normally I take my green tea plain, and was skeptical towards adding such summer fresh fruit flavours - BUT it was a well thought out flavour indeed!
I followed the directions to the tea, and didn't over steep, and it was absolutely delicious, I think over steeping this one might do more damage than good.
I would definitely recommend this product to those who are looking to drink green tea but aren't keen on the green tea flavouring alone. I think this is a good transition tea for those who like more of a candied throat soothing product.
20 bags will certainly last this house quite some time -but with cold season in the air, we might just have to snatch another container!

When I was given the opportunity to try the Tetley Super Teas and review the flavours for Chick Advisor for free I was was SO excited.
I am a huge tea drinker, so when there is opportunity to branch out to new flavours I jump all over it.
This particular berry flavour however was definitely not my cup-o-tea. I can appreciate that they were trying to blend the traditional green tea with a fruitful blend, however personally I am not keen on adding berries to my warm drinks.
The value and quality of the product remains true to Tetley - well made and didn't allow for much residual tea powder/crumbs to settle at the end like other teas. It is strictly a personal preference for flavour.
Would I recommend this item? Surely, but I'd have to give the heads up about the overpowering berry flavour - however I do know that some people do enjoy a fruitful tea blend. The recommendation would be for those who I know would appreciate the flavour, and because Tetley's quality and value is always reliable and well worth it.

I was excited to receive my free Tetley Super Tea set sent for yet another Chick Advisor opportunity.
This particular tea - Super Herbal Immune Lemon & Echinacea with Zinc was EXACTLY what I needed on this damp, autumn day as I felt a nasty cold coming in.
I steeped the bag for 5 minutes and didn’t add anything to this fragrant tea. The lemon and herbs soothed my throat, without leaving a strange film or after taste that some other lemon teas have given me.
The smell was refreshing - as lemon usually is when you’re battling a cold. It wasn’t over powering or bitter which I often find. I think if I felt more sick I would step it longer without the fear of it being too over powering. I also found that it was still delicious even when I left a quarter of it out to get cold - it’s always nice not to have to toss tea out because it got cold!
The price is bang on with the tea market after looking it up, and with 20 bags per container it will last you through cold season for sure!
Definitely going to be a household staple
- especially during cold and flu season! Recommend it to all adults who need a comfort drink while sick!

Landscapers struggle in the summer to stay fresh throughout the day - and I know first hand with my husband that the challenge is real. He uses this deodorant stick to help curb the hard work coming through his shirt! This stick goes on smooth without making him
Feel like he’s slabbed on a thick layer of tacky deodorant.
It keeps him smelling fresh after a long day’s work!

The colour I picked up didn’t end up wowing me the way I had hoped. I was anticipating a greater shine but it fell short. It went on nicely and not wet but I was hoping it would have been glossier!
I still have to test the “red the news” - hoping it goes better!
