I was pleasantly surprised by how rich and delicious this Vanilla Trilogy flavour is. It's definitely not a basic vanilla ice cream; instead it is creamy, sweet, and indulgent. While you could use this as a base for an amazing sundae, it doesn't require that - it is perfectly satisfying all on its own. I can't wait to try more flavours from Chapman's Super Premium Plus line.    -

I was pleasantly surprised by this cat litter! I have tried many different clumping litters in the past, but this one truly does create more compact and strong clumps, making cleaning the litter box a much quicker and easier task. My cat is not usually picky about what litter we use, and had no issue when I changed his litter over to this new formula.

I have used corncob litters for a few years now, as those formulas are much lighter than traditional clay litter. The Arm & Hammer Hardball litter is just as light as more "natural" options, if not lighter. It also has a nice fresh scent. Because of the strong clumps, you are able to collect all of the waste every time you scoop out the litter box, so I expect that the will last the 20 days it guarantees before we need to change it. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase this litter in the future.

I didn't even know this type of product existed, and now that I do, I don't know how I lived without it for so long. The design of this spray bottle is very similar to spray sunscreens, so it is super easy to apply, even in tough to reach places. I typically get most of my body acne on my chest, and I have found after a couple of days of using this spray, my chest is almost completely blemish free. Salicylic Acid is my acne treatment of choice, and I love that this product doesn't leave your skin feeling sticky or greasy. It dries quickly and barely has any scent. I think this is going to be a staple in my skincare routine going forward.

One thing I really dislike about many popular brands of dishwasher tablets is the fact that they come with SO much plastic packaging. The Tru Earth dishwasher tablets do not have any of that. They come in a cardboard, recyclable package, and the tablets are not individually wrapped - they just go right in the dishwasher as is. The lemon scent is very nice, and I love that they are made in Canada.

I will say that if you can be a lazy girl like me and stuff your dishwasher with as many dirty dishes as possible, they may not be powerful enough for everything to come out spotless. That said, if you don't overload your dishwasher, they work great, and dishes come out sparkling clean. I will be looking to try other Tru Earth products in the future.

I have been using this face cream twice a day for two weeks and I have actually noticed a difference in the appearance of my skin. I think it has helped to even out my skin tone, and has kept my skin super hydrated even during the weather changes we've had recently in Ontario.
This cream seems thick, but it absorbs so nicely and doesn't feel heavy at all. I wasn't sure about the scent at first, but now I actually really like the earthy smell. I have barely made a dent in the jar despite using it consistently, so I feel like it is going to last me a long time. I also love that this is a Canadian, female run business. I can't wait to try out some other Birch Babe products.

Wow, I was pleasantly surprised by this mouthwash. At first, it doesn't taste like much, but after swishing/gargling, your mouth feels so clean and fresh. It definitely doesn't burn like other mouthwashes can, which makes it easier to swish for the full recommended minute (something I usually struggle with). It leaves you with more of a clean feeling, rather than just minty. While it is pricier than more "popular" mouthwash brands, I can definitely see myself purchasing this in the future.    -

I have a lot of Christmas/Halloween decorations, so storage bins are a must in my house. This tote is a great size, and came at the perfect time as I was packing up all of my Christmas stuff. I used this bin to store all of my holiday sweaters/clothes, and it fit way more than I expected. I like that the lid snaps on tight, and the wheels are a gamechanger for moving it around, especially if you were to place heavy items inside. The tote itself is nice and lightweight. For some items, I prefer a clear tote, but if you don't need to see what's inside, this is a great, reasonably priced option.    -

This is a great ice cream scoop! I love its sleek look, and that it is thin enough to cut through ice cream or sorbet fairly easily. The little lever on the bottom is a game-changer; it pops the ice cream into the bowl with ease. And it's dishwasher safe, so it meets the most important requirement I have for new kitchenware. All in all very happy with this little kitchen tool!    -

I am someone you usually gets breakouts fairly often, but of course I've barely had any blemishes since I received these patches to review. That being said, when I have used them I have found they made a noticeable difference in the size and redness of pimples. I also gave some to my sister to try and she agreed that they work well.

The little red applicator that is attached to each patch is great for avoiding touching the sticky side of the patch with your fingers, and it also keeps the patch from stretching, so it always adheres flush to your skin. Once applied, the patches are virtually invisible. Overall, I wouldn't hesitate to purchase the Nexcare Thin & Transparent Acne Patches in the future.
