We had so much fun with this. Ages 5,13 and 40 all managed to gather around the kitchen table and play together for nearly an hour and create fun little characters and pixel accessories.
It was so nice to have an activity that both kids could participate in with zero frustration. I am so glad we had the refill pack handy - it kept our 'bonding' time going.
Its a bit of a blast from the past - I remember having a very similar toy like this when I was younger.

I was provided with a small sample size of this product, in exchange for providing my opinion. Unfortunately, I was unable to form what I would consider an accurate opinion.
I did find that the product felt luxurious, the one time I was able to test the product it worked well to cleanse my face gently and effectively.
As with most skin care, it takes more than one use to see and feel any possible results.

It has been a few weeks since I was given the opportunity to give this a trial.
I appreciated how convenient this is. Products that are multifunctional are always a bonus.
I found it to be hydrating and gentle around my eyes. However I wish it would absorb quicker.
I wear a full face of makeup and I found myself having to wait a while for it to absorb prior to applying my makeup.

and actually works well. It completely removes my makeup (including eye makeup) without leaving a residue or drying out my skin.
I am greatful I was invited to trial Thayers phDaily, it has made its way into my daily skincare routine.

Just thinking about cotton candy is enough to make me smile. It brings about so many happy memories. Trips to the Fair, visits to the zoo and days spent at the amusement park riding roller-coasters all day.
~Chapman's gave me the opportunity to try out some of their new products. When I saw that Cotton Candy was an option (given that it was free) I had to try it. First- the checkerboard. So cute! Like many of their flavours when you slice their ice cream rather than scoop it, you get these cute little mini slabs of checkboard. (perfect for placing ontop of an un-iced slice of cake)
2nd, the flavour is just Incredible. It's cotton candy, but almost a 'grown-up' luxury version combined with a creamy vanilla like flavour. I really expected this to be overly sweet but it isn't. I hope it's something they keep around for a long time.

Deodorant has been one of those products that hasn't changed much over the years. Maybe the texture has and the scent has - but the formulas have all been the same. Had I not received this as a test product - I wouldn't have purchased it. For many years I have issues with sensitive underarms combined with a NEED for for something that keeps the stink away. Finding something that is both gentle and effective. I've been giving this an honest go for at least a week successfully with zero skin reaction. I've been able to shave my underarms and apply deodorant in the same day. This is big. If for no reason other than needing something effective and gentle - I suggest giving this a try. -
Aveeno Positively Radiant MaxGlow Serum & Primer
I have been using this for years know, and dispite trying other products along the way, I always end up back to this. Its so light weight, and quick absorbing. Never clogs my pores. I often wear it alone to give me a fresh dewy glow.

A few weeks ago I had received a voucher for a try me free from #DrOetkerCanada, I turned in my voucher. Brought my groceries home - put the box in the cupboard and..... Forgot all about it. . . . . This evening we had planned to have a little BBQ, and later make some S'mores. Now that we are able to have outdoor gatherings with more people, we thought it would be fun to have some cousins over, see some family we've not in a while. Of course-it rained. All a little sad, and our bbq plans ruined, I was now on the hook to come up with dinner for my family. (we don't grocery shop until Sunday-tomorrow) digging thru the cupboard TA-DA!! Pizza! Let's make Pizza!! We had so much fun! Mixing the dough, stretching the dough and planning out our pizza. We made half normal pizza and the other half we did small sections of 'weird' stuff. (think pickles, ewe.. Cornflakes, not so bad?!? ...) lots of laughs for sure. We prepped and baked exactly as the box suggested and it came out almost perfect. For the price you can't beat it. We all agreed it is even better than some of our usual take out pizza shops. *I think next time we would add a TBS of water to the sauce to thin it out a little bit so it's easier to spread more evenly. We also wished we would have dressed the crust with something (maybe some parmesan cheese and garlic spice) **I am also going to purchase a pack of pepperoni and keep it in the freezer. As long as you have this kit on hand, and can scrounge up a couple of toppings you've got a dinner in a pinch, this would have been 100% if I had more than lunch ham in the fridge** Sadly, we have no leftovers - I am not able to report on how well this reheats. -

Spring 2016 I purchased my first Vileda Spin Mop. Its been my saving grace. I'm prone to eczema flare-ups and even wearing rubber gloves can set it off. Hand wringing a mop my least favorite task. Back than I also had a toddler who would immediately insist on running all over my wet floors.
(Until the day we discovered the bucket pedal was a cool gas pedal, and he could make it go zoom zoom for mommy. I could keep him in one place long enough to complete a whole room. And, because I don't soak the floors with unnecessary amounts of water they tend to dry faster too.
I still have the same mop, and used it near daily until just a few weeks ago. It withstood 5 years of foot to the floor gas pedals. It does have a little duct tape on the handle, but it's still perfect.
Or-so I thought.
Last month I came across the Rinse Clean version! I didn't need a new mop... But this, I had to have it.
It is amazing! The mop head itself is fuller and scrubs better. I was a little worried that it wouldn't spin enough of the water out - but the upgraded system took care of that no problem. The pedal system is smoother and easier to press as well. (not that the original was really difficult... I guess after 5 years my oldie did get a little stiff)
The gimmick that made me want this beauty - the rinse clean bucket. All these years I have been wetting and rinsing my mop in the same water.. Ewe. Why hasn't this came out sooner?
Its incredible how much cleaner my floors actually look, and feel. Seriously! This really isn't a gimmick. It really works, and works very well.
The head washes up really well too.
The only way I will replace my Vileda Spin Mop is if they come out with an even more upgraded version that self washes the floors for me.

As far back as I can remember I have been a fan of Canada Dry. It had always been a staple in our home. Whether it was because it was the only soda as children we were aloud to have as a treat... Or it was the elixir that calmed an upset tummy, mom always had some on hand.
As years passed, and my age aloud for it Canada Dry has also became my preferred mix to add to my adult beverages.
So when the opportunity came to try a premium version of one of my favorite beverages, I was more than pleased to accept the invitation.
This beverage has a bold flavor. It maintains its classic taste but with an oomph.
It's certainly not a fill a glass and gulp it down type of drink.
This is the kind of drink you pull the nice glass wear out for... The kind of drink you use proper tongs to place ice in the glass for,the kind of drink you slowly sip, truly enjoy, let the bubbles and flavours roll over your tongue and savor. This is a beverage you can feel comfortable enjoying with friends while they enjoy a mixed drink.
This drink is bound to become its own classic.
