I was sent Thursday Plantation Patch Perfect Hydrocolloid Patches in exchange for my honest review. I’ve been using them at night, after cleansing my face, for a few days now. These are very effective pimple patches, and they do a wonderful job of absorbing the gross stuff. My only complaint is that they are not invisible, as claimed. They are clear, but still very visible on my fair skin, so I wouldn’t feel comfortable wearing them during the day. I mostly wear hydrocolloid patches at night anyway, so this is not an issue for me at all. A solid patch I’m happy to integrate into my nightly routine. Thanks @thursdayplantationcanada and @butterly!

PanOxyl Daytime Invisible Patches are my absolute new favorite pimple patches, and I've tried quite a few. They are, in fact, barely visible when worn, and I did not hesitate to wear one at work, which I've never done with any other clear patch. And they work so well! They gently absorb all the gunk without harming the skin. My teenage daughter immediately declared them her favorite and stole all of mine, so we'll be purchasing them shortly. Thank you @panoxyl and @butterly!

I’ve always adored Ferrero Rocher, and I was delighted to receive FERRERO ROCHER® assorted hazelnut chocolate squares in exchange for my honest review. I had to fight my family to be able to try all of them myself. They were a huge hit. My heart will always go to Milk Hazelnut as my favorite, but Dark and White were also wonderful, sweet and a bit crunchy, just the right amount of decadent. Even though I have to admit to preferring the original Ferrero Rocher, which I grew up with, these are a very close second. Perfect for any fans of hazelnut sweet treats. -

I’ve just started using AOR Solufibre and I’m so happy I got to try this product! Proudly Canadian and backed by science, this product is used for digestive comfort & regularity. I was a little worried about the taste, since the product is to be added to water or juice, but it’s almost entirely tasteless, making is super easy to add to a glass of ice-cold water (my preferred method) or a morning smoothie. Soluble fiber enhances gastrointestinal health, function and regularity, and increases satiety. It also supports healthy blood sugar balance and cardiovascular health. I’m very happy to be adding AOR Solufibre to my wellness routine. Thanks AOR Health! I received this product for free in exchange for my honest opinion.

We’re already big fans of PanOxyl in this family, so I was super happy to be chosen to try PanOxyl Acne Gel Wash in exchange for my honest opinion. For starters, I love the pump bottle, so much more practical than a tube. I’m usually sensitive to the smell of products containing Salicylic Acid (for some reason, it smells like rotten eggs to my nose), and I’m happy to say that the smell is super mild and not at all unpleasant. I’ve been using it for a few days, along with my teenage son. He had no comments besides «it’s good», so I’ll let the fact that he continues using it speak for itself. The gel is a bit drying, which is to be expected for acne product. Combined with a good moisturizer, it leaves the skin feeling squeaky clean. I haven’t been using it long enough to notice any impact on acne since I’m breakout free right now, but I definitely didn’t cause acne breakouts, which is a constant problem for me when I try new face products. So far so good! Thanks @panoxyl and @butterly!

I was sent L’Occitane Karité Confort Ultra Rich Body Cream in exchange for my honest review.
I’ve fallen head-over-heels in love with this product ❤️. This feels like luxury. The packaging is beautiful and looks great on my nightstand. The cream is thick, ultra silky and very moisturizing, without being greasy (which is so often the case with shea butter). I put it on before going to bed, and my skin is soft and hydrated in the morning. I adore the scent, floral with some salt notes, reminding me of the beach without smelling like sunscreen. The scent if fairly strong at first, so be aware before purchasing if you’re sensitive to smells. A beautiful product, absolutely perfect to care for dehydrated skin during cold winters in Canada. Thanks L’Occitane and Butterly! @sephoracanada @loccitane

As a Gen X who recently started weight lifting to stay fit, I was pretty happy to receive Myoflex® Extra Strength Deep Penetrating Pain Relief Rub in exchange for my honest opinion. I get sore pretty often, and I really like this pain relief cream. The odor is pretty faint and didn’t bother me at all. Quick penetration, non greasy, and does not leave a film on the skin. Once soccer and cheerleading practices starts up, I’ll be sharing this tube with my kids for sure. Thanks Myoflex and Butterly! -

I received this product in exchange for my honest opinion. I’m a big fan of Swiss Natural products and use many of them daily. Unfortunately, these Activated Charcoal Capsules did not work for me. It’s my first time trying activated charcoal. I have occasional bloating, and these capsules made it worse, I’m sorry to say. Also, the coating of the capsules is a bit sticky, so they tended to get stuck in my throat. I don’t want to be gross, but one time, after having them stick inside my throat, I burped, and a cloud of activated charcoal came out of my mouth. My kids are now calling these my dragon pills. So unfortunately, I’m sad to say activated charcoal did not work for my body. Thanks, Swiss Natural and Butterly -

I received Swiss Natural Total One Multi Vitamin & Mineral for Women in exchange for my honest review. I don’t take supplements on a regular basis, and I was interested in finding out if I’d notice any difference. The pills are easy to swallow even though they’re on the larger side, and have no weird aftertaste. As other reviewers have mentioned, they turn your pee neon-yellow almost immediately, which freaked me out a bit at first. I understand that this is caused by the very high dose of vitamin B2, which is not harmful, but why put such a high dosage if the body just gets rid of it? I appreciate that there are no artificial flavours, colours, sweeteners, no preservatives, dairy, gluten, wheat, yeast or gelatin in the Total One Multi Vitamin & Mineral. I can’t say I noticed any difference in my health or energy level since I’ve started taking them, but I already eat a balanced diet, so I don’t think I had any vitamin deficiency to begin with. All in all, a pretty solid product! Thanks Swiss Natural and Butterly! -

Let me start this review by stating that our family love PanOxyl products. I have two teenagers at home, and I still get regular hormonal acne on my face and body, so I was delighted to receive this face and body wash. On my very first use, I loved the creamy yet light texture. Also, there is NO SMELL, which is unusual and very much appreciated with acne products. I’ve been using it daily for 7 days, and it hasn’t dried out my skin (I consistently use moisturizer though). I have noticed a significant improvement with my breakouts, especially the ones on my body. I now combine the use of PanOxyl Acne Wash with PanOxyl Body Spray and I’m hooked. Lastly, I love that this product is very affordable and available everywhere. Thanks @panoxyl_ca and Butterly!
