I love this wash. It keeps my skin from overdrying after a shower so if I forget to apply lotion my skin doesn’t feel like it’s going to crack. It actually soothes during the winter months when I get the occasional bout with eczema.
I don’t mind that it’s fragarance free since my shampoo has a soft fragarence. My kids miss the bubbly foaming but it’s worth the trade off.
We buy ours from Costco since we’re a family of 5 we go through quite a lot.
We’ve been using this for years. Used it on all three kids when they were babies and it never over dried or left anyone feeling like they had a film on them.

I personally love fruit and citrus scents for my vehicle but my husband gets headaches from them, so we compromised on this particular car freshener that has the fresh laundry scent. First, it really does smell like fresh laundry that confuses many of my passengers, it feels like I've got a fresh load in my van!
As soon as you open the little thing the scent comes through VERY strong, sometimes I even close the air vent so it doesn't OVER POWER the vehicle - it seems to do the trick by just sitting in my cup holder actually.
If my dog has been in my van, and we're coming back from a sweaty outdoor day with the kids I plug it on the vents and let the AC help push along the scents.
They last a LONG TIME. I purchased a pack of 5 from Costco LAST YEAR, and I'm still on the second one. It's definitely a great deal, I think I paid about $12. - worth it. I found other brands often dry out so quickly, or only hold a scent for less than a month - and though they seem cheaper when you first purchase it they definitely don't last as long.
The freshener also allows you to adjust how much scent is released by a small dial - this is also great for the days when you don't need so much fragrance.

My family seems to have an EOS obsession. Every time they come out with a new flavour you'll find us in line ready to buy! There is something about the shape and the packaging that keeps my kids VERY excited about applying lip balm. The price point is more than your typical lip balm stick, but if it means my kids are moisturizing, I don't mine so much.
They seem to last a long time, we are likely to lose them faster than actually finish them. The down size is the size for my kid's pockets and husband's. They find it a bit bulky for their tiny pockets so they usually end up putting them down somewhere then forgetting. I don't mind the size since I just drop it in my purse. My husband laughs because he can't have that bulge in his pocket!
The balm itself is great, it keeps our lips moist in the driest of winters but doesn't feel thick and weird the way Vaseline sometimes does.
It holds it shape in the heat for the most part - which is good when it falls out of pockets and stays in a hot car.
Another tiny downside is my kids sometimes get dirt stuck in the threads of the lid and I have to scrape it out so it doesn't look and turn gross! Especially after beach days.

I recently bought the Braun wet dry Epilator and cannot live with out it now! I was worried about how painful it would be to shave my legs, armpits and bikini line but it was all in my head. When doing my legs it felt more like little electrical shocks, definitely low on the pain level, my armpit hair hurt a bit more since my hair there was thicker. The bikini area was where I feared the most but with the extra tool for it it wasn't so bad. You definitely get used to the shock of the hair being removed after a while. And I also felt like my legs aren't having thick hair come back. I love that you can't really hurt yourself with this, you can slip or turn weird and not cut your skin like a razor, and it takes a while for the hair to grow back unlike shaving. I also found that the hair came out easier and was more thoroughly when I dry shaved before a shower instead of after or during a shower. The charge is good, I have yet to recharge mine and I've had it for a few months. I also have yet to use the second speed/power setting, as the first setting seems to be amazing!
It was a bit pricier than I'd like, but I understand that overtime I've spent WAY more on razors and wax.
LOVE IT! When its time for my daughter to start, I'll get her using the epilator and nothing else!

We’ve been buying smooth Kraft PB since I was a kid and I would never switch to anything else! I’ve tried other brands and have always come back to this! It’s always smooth, not overly sweet, and never gets strange, oily or separates! It goes on like a dream on brownies, bread and crackers! It’s perfect to bake PB cookies with - it’s also fabulous for protein shakes! My husband likes the crunchy version, but in my opinion the smooth is the best! Even if it’s to eat it alone by the spoonfuls! -

I was really hoping that this could be my everyday mascara but was a disappointed. I found the brush was too bulky for my liking which made brushing the corners of my eyes a bit finnicky. I didn’t feel like it gave me as much volume as I had anticipated based on other reviews and by the end of the day I had dark colouring under my eyes :(
I also found that when I pulled the wand out it was very clunky and had to clean off clumps on the side of the container.
For the price I paid - I definitely wouldn’t buy it again.

I don’t wear lipstick everyday but when I do I make sure I buy quality lipstick that has amazing colour and longevity! I absolutely loved the colour, and how easily the lipstick went on. The wand is something I absolutely love instead of the tradition lipstick crayon - I felt the wand allows for sharper edges for application and gives me more control. The only down side of this is that it is VERY matte. I’m used to more gloss but fix it by just applying the clear gloss. This complaint is more because I tried something out of my normal - don’t let it stop you from buying it! Love it. -

I have both dry patches and very oily skin and I have used this particular moisturizer since high school (in my late 30s now!) It definitely doesn't feel greasy, which is huge on summer days, but it still moisturizes my face leaving it feeling soft. Its never clogged up my pores, or felt heavy, it actually feels very light and refreshing. I have acne prone skin and it has been the BEST - it doesn't cause out breaks, it moisturizes without contributing to the crappy days of outbreaks! It's a bit more expensive than other brands, but worth every penny. I use it daily after every wash. -

We LOVE the 2 in 1 Classic because it saves us the extra step of conditioning. We alternate Head & Shoulders with our other shampoo/conditioner wash to help keep our family's dandruff at bay. If one of us is having a bit of an outbreak in dandruff we use the H&S;daily until its all cleared up. The one downfall of H&S;is that if its not rinsed out properly it leaves a noticeable film (we all have dark to black hair). When our daughter uses it I have to make sure to come in and check she's rinsed to the roots very well otherwise it is kind of white and filmy. But if used properly it's perfect :) especially for a family of 5 who all have very different hair types from very oily to very dry! -
