I had the opportunity to try Myoflex Extra Strength Deep Penetrating Pain Relief Rub for free.
It claimed to be odour free, menthol free, fast absorbing and greaseless. I found it lived up to all of those claims! It's a light cream that indeed is greaseless and absorbs within seconds of being rubbed into the skin. It is nice to be able to use a product without you & everyone around you smelling it for hours!
Typically these types of creams don't have an effect on my long-term pain, or any other types of pain. While Myoflex didn't make a difference with my long-term pain, I did find it did a good job at helping with acute pain, like one-time muscle soreness caused from overuse.
Overall if pain relief creams work for you, but you hate the smelling like them, and the greasy feeling left on your skin, give odour free, greaseless Myoflex Extra Strength Deep Penetrating Pain Relief Rub a try, you won't be disappointed!

I had the opportunity to try & review the Simoniz Platinum Professional Auto Detailing Drill Brush Set for free. It includes 4 brushes. 1-small round brush for small areas, 1-large flat brush with stiffer bristles for deep cleaning, 1-large flat brush for larger areas & 1-dome shaped brush for hard to reach spaces.
As detailing the car in -30 was not an option, I tried them out on my treadmill. The large stiffer bristle brush worked fantastic to clean all the little dimples on the treadmill belt. I just used a little water & a touch of soap and sopped it up with a cloth. I found if I used too much water at high speeds it would just spray dirty water everywhere, so I had to be very careful with my speed and water usage. It took me two rounds to get the belt clean.
I used the dome shaped bristle brush to clean some of the harder to reach areas and corners in the pockets on the display & it worked okay. It lost a few bristles for the first few minutes but after that it seemed fine. It worked more like a duster than really cleaning anything though.
I tried the other two brushes on various parts of the machine but found that they also worked more just like a duster than actually cleaning. Even running the small bristle brush on my hand at full power didn't hurt at all & felt like I was just brushing it gently with a cloth. Trying the large flat one on my indoor carpet/mat had no effect either.
Overall for light dusting jobs, the brushes are ok. 3 of the brushes all have the same bristles, just different shapes, the best one for reaching most areas being the dome shaped brush. They aren't effective for removing any dirt/grime.
For tougher areas, the stiff bristle brush is definitely the way to go, although I question it's ability to handle more dirt build up like on vehicle rims/tires. That being said, I finally have something to clean my treadmill belt properly!

I had the opportunity to try Swiss Natural Total One Multi-Vitamin & Mineral -Women for free.
I like the range of vitamins and minerals offered, especially the folic acid which is higher than my usual multivitamin. It is formulated with calcium, cranberries, vitamin C & D, and B vitamins and claims to helps the body to metabolize carbohydrates, fats and proteins.
I stopped taking my regular multivitamin and took Swiss Natural Total One Multi-Vitamin & Mineral -Women instead for 2.5 weeks once a day as directed. I haven't noticed any difference in how I feel either for better or worse. I am continuing to take it though.
It is easy to swallow and I haven't notice any bad aftertaste or lingering taste of any kind during or after swallowing. Overall it seems like a good product. I like that it does not contain preservatives, artificial colours, dairy, wheat or gluten. It feels good knowing that I am taking something good for my body.

I had the opportunity to try Swiss Naturel Menolibrium multi symptom herbal relief remedy with EstroG-100 for free.
I don't really have many symptoms of menopause except for nightsweats. I took Menolibrium twice a day as directed & felt like this actually helped with that. I did feel a slight bit of heartburn/nausea when first taking them, but it passed after 10 minutes or so. So for night sweats, I'd recommend giving Menolibrium a shot! (Always consult with your pharmacist before taking)

I had the opportunity to try Panoxyl PM Blemish Brightening Patches for free.
I tried them on my husband's back. They are clear triangle shaped adhesive patches. They have great ingredients for your skin like Niacinamide & Vitamin C. It has a clean scent, but isn't very strong. They applied very easily, but were quite noticeable. If I had blemishes on my face, wearing this patch for 11 days would definitely stand out.
The adhesive on the patches was very weak. After a day of normal activity the edges lifted, and after 4 days it was falling off. Again, if this was on my face, normal activity like sleeping & showering would produce the same result and would really be noticeable in public. In the end, unfortunately I didn't notice much of a difference.

I had the opportunity to try Sarna bug batches for free in exchange for a review. They claim to help soothe itching with natural ingredients, prevent scratching & are kid safe.
I'm usually able to ignore mosquito bites pretty well, but occasionally I get one that just really irritates me. I had one on my leg that was really itchy and had swelled up a little. I peeled off patch & applied it. The patches are clear, round, adhesive patches, They feel like silicone discs & are a little thicker than a bandaid. I didn't notice any immediate relief after applying it. I was still very aware of the bite on my leg. I wore it for the rest of the day, still very aware of my bite. I was able to "scratch" the bite by rubbing at the patch a bit.
The next day with the extreme heat & following a sweaty workout, the patch was still holding on a little, but had started to come off, with a white film on the adhesive that was no longer stuck to my skin. It didn't take much to peel it off. I took it off for my shower & examined the bite. It looked the same as it did the day before & was still just as itchy.
I really wanted these patches to work, but for me unfortunately they just didn't work that well. I'll go back to doing my best to ignore those pesky little bites!

I had the opportunity to try Aveeno Calm & Restore Age Renewal Serum & Eye Gel for sensitive skin. Both products are fragrance free with cranberry extract, a plant based retinol alternative. The serum claims it hydrates and visibly improves the look of fine lines and wrinkles. The Eye gel claims it visibly improves the look of wrinkles, puffiness and dark circles.
I tried both products as directed for 4 weeks. Both products felt great on the skin. I don’t have sensitive skin, but they both felt very gentle & hydrating. As advertised there wasn’t much of a smell either. Unfortunately, other than that, I didn’t experience any of the results the products claimed to offer. My dark circles didn’t lighten up & there was no change to my wrinkles or overall skin tone or brightness. As a serum & eye gel, it was nice to use, but I can’t recommend it for dark circles & wrinkles as it seemed ineffective for me.

I had the chance to try Sambucol Black Elderberry Advanced Immune Support with Vitamin C & Zinc. They are advertised as a "great-tasting vegan gummy" & they are not wrong! They aren't as gummy & sticky as a normal candy gummy, but just satisfying enough to chew & they seem to almost dissolve once chewed. But the flavour is what struck me the most, it is amazing! 😃 What a delightful way to get 50% of the daily recommended intake of vitamin C! All that without any artificial colours, flavours or preservatives too!

I had the chance to try Aveeno moisturizing body scrub. I used it for a week and although it was pleasant, I did not notice a change to my skin. It did not have much of a smell, it smells mildly like oats, which is pleasant & calming. It made a nice lather and worked well as a body wash, but I did not feel like it did much exfoliating. I normally moisturize after my shower and while I felt it was not drying, I still felt the need to moisturize afyer my shower. Overall it's nice body wash, but I don't see it being remarkably better than the majority of what's out there for the price point. -
