These are a fantastic cracker. They’re gluten free, which is very important in my household since there is a celiac.
These crackers have amazing texture from the seeds. They’re so tasty, the everything bagel flavour really shines through. These are an amazing alternative to chips and salty crackers. They’re very satiating as well.
These crackers are an amazing way to elevate your charcuterie plate. We enjoyed them with an assortment of cheese and pickles. They’re incredible on their own as well, we definitely eat them straight from the bag.
I haven’t seen them in stores yet, but whenever I do, I will be sure to grab a bag or two because these are such a nice change from boring crackers!
Absolutely recommend! They are a bit pricey, but they do last a long time because they are so satiating.

These crispy onion toppers are a game changer! They are incredibly tasty and add the perfect crunch to any meal.
The onion flavour is great and not overpowering. These are really hard to resist eating straight from the bag. They’re gluten free, which is really important in my household as we have a celiac. Typically, I’d steer away from a product like this because of the cross contamination, however these are certified gluten free, which is a mega bonus in my books!
We tried these on top of homemade smash burgers, on salads, and on delicious provolone and mortadella sandwiches. We’ve also eaten them directly from the bag.
These are such a unique addition to any meal and adds a nice hint of onion while also bringing the crunch! Even my little kids enjoyed them. They’re made with simple ingredients, so I feel good keeping them on hand.
These are now a pantry staple and we’ve been elevating soups, sandwiches and salads. I cannot recommend these enough, I wish I found these sooner!

These crunchy banana chips are a healthy way to add that sweet treat to any meal.
I like to give my kids options, especially for lunchtime. I like to set out a wide variety of fruits, veggies, nuts, cheese and protein and then let them get creative and build their own bento box. These banana chips were a huge hit and the kids kept reaching for the bag.
With only two ingredients being banana and coconut oil, I feel good knowing that my kids are getting nothing but simple quality snacks that still taste like a treat!
The crunch on these are very satisfying and will have you reaching for more!

This is probably the most luxurious hand cream I’ve ever tried. The iconic packaging is gorgeous.
The product itself is extremely moisturizing. It instantly soothes dry and cracked hands. I found that this winter we’ve been having has been significantly colder and drier than previous years and this cream has been a lifesaver for my hands, especially my knuckles and my dry elbows. The formula coats the skin but absorbs nicely, not leaving that tacky or greasy feeling.
I wasn’t crazy about the scent, I found it to be rather strong and pungent. I’d much prefer something more neutral or unscented. The scent lingers, but it dissipates, which made it tolerable for me. Regardless of the scent, this product really does work. I’ve noticed a huge different in my skin health on my hands. Even my husband enjoys it!
This is on the more luxurious side for hand creams and it really does out perform any drugstore hand cream that I’ve tried before. A little bit goes a very long way, so this tube will absolutely last a long time. The package also allows for you to use every single last drop, which I love! This is now a staple in my work bag as well as my night stand. My hands are super thankful for this!

I have a very dry nose, all year round, but especially in winter so I tried this on myself alongside my kids. My nose gets so dry and sensitive, that I’m constantly using cotton swabs and an ointment to provide relief.
The dropper application is horrible. A spray would be MUCH more effective at administering this product. On myself, it wasn’t bad, but I’d still prefer a spray.
I was able to use this with my 2.5 and 4.5 year old kids. It was tricky with my younger one, but we got it sorted out. My 4.5 year old said that his nose didn’t feel as dry.
I did notice a difference when using this. It was very soothing and really helped with the dryness and sensitivity of my nose.
I wouldn’t purchase this or recommend solely on the packaging. If this was a spray or had a different application method, I’d be all over it! This just isn’t practical, especially on kids.

This is an incredible addition to any workshop or work space. Whether you’re a pro or an avid DIYer, this is such a great product.
The adjustable table height is perfect for any project and makes it accessible for anybody for any age. The top tray detaches and can be used as a creeper if you’re working on the ground. The caster wheels for the table top are awesome for maneuvering around any workspace.
The tray is great for tiny pieces and has spots to hold tools, keeping your workspace organized and tidy. It was easy to assemble and is durable.
This can be used in any sort of workspace, whether it be a garage, basement or workshop, it’s perfect for anybody with any skill set.
I received this product for free in exchange for a real and honest review. I was very impressed with this item and I do recommend it.

We’re really into Monster Jam, so our review will be slightly biased. This is why it’s a 3-star review.
The mini trucks are really small, so it’s ok for smaller hands. It’s hard to play with them outside of this set (eg. Driving around the house/outside, or on tracks).
The launcher feature is a lot of fun. These these really fly, so be mindful of the area you’re playing in - watch your walls! Although our kids thought launching the truck were hilarious, we had to tone it down with launching into walls.
The assembly is easy. Putting together the crash pad is good for motor skills. It showed my son how to be gentle and patient. His favourite part of this set was the crashing. It was challenging lining up the launcher to the crash pad. We had to try a few times, but it was a lot of fun.
Overall, this is a fun set for Monster Jam fans, but I feel like the larger sized sets would be much better for gifting, especially if kids are just getting into Monster Jam.
This set was gifted to us, for free, from Butterly, to try in exchange for an honest review.

This hot honey is SO SO good! It’s got kick. It’s the perfect balance of sweet and heat. It pairs well with so many things.
We firs tried it on homemade fried chicken sandwiches. This hot honey is so flavourful, the fried chicken didn’t need any sauce or condiments. It was out of this world good.
We also tried it on cheese pizza. It added such a perfect touch. The cheese really brought the heat down but the intense honey flavour was still shining through.
This is a staple in our pantry now. It’s so delicious and is an easy way to amp up any meal! I highly recommend!

I wasn’t a fan of this Shiraz at all. This was well reviewed during girls night, though. It was 50/50. This to me, was very acidic - almost like a vinegar. This would be really good in a dressing for a salad or a marinade.
I found this to be very bold, but bitter. The others in the group, loved it. I’ll admit that this did pair really well with some artisanal pizza.
Although this is not something that I would reach for again, I think this is a great option to have for guests when you’re hosting.

This was my favourite non alcoholic wine that I’ve tried.
This was really good chilled (very very cold). This paired incredibly with a strawberry and brie puff pastry. It was a crisp and dry white wine, which I love. The drier the white, the better for me.
It had a very, very strong scent. This can be off putting. It tasted a million times better than it smells, which was the overall consensus with the girlies at girls night.
I think this is a fantastic option to have when hosting a party. This particular wine pairs so well with many things, it’s a very versatile and safe option.
