I was really excited when I found out I would be getting this for free to review. I’ve never had to install my own light strips, but I was very surprised to discover how easy it was to install. Just plugged it in, and it was already connected to the remote and could change the colours with ease. They are affordable, and look like they could be long lasting.
They’re suitable for indoor use and so we installed them under our counter that my husband made a couple years back. And it looks amazing. I like how you can use the lights for any occasion with any light combination possible with just a click of a remote.
Thanks so much to @thisisbutterly and @nomalighting for sending me this pack in exchange for my honest review.

I would like to start my review with saying I'm Asian, and do eat long grain rice and sushi rice on the regular. I personally felt like the rice took quite a long time to make even though the package stated it should take 7 minutes only. It was quite hard for me to remove the packaging cleanly. The rice definitely felt very healthy and very low sodium. I just had it as a lunch substitute in a hurry and it was quite tasteless. I was a bit surprised and was hoping for a bit more flavour.

The Rice Stuff Box - Chicken Mushroom Flavor

I have to start my review with saying I'm Asian, and I eat long-grain rice and sushi rice on the regular. But this is only the third time I've had instant rice. The process isn't the easiest as the top needs to be pulled off in order to open the package, and I found it quite hard to remove cleanly. Regardless of the rest of the process, the amount of time it took me to fumble and make it probably still took me quite a bit of time - maybe 10 minutes or so. I was expecting great things, as Chicken Mushroom Flavour really does sound great. But this was quite tasteless. I didn't taste any mushroom...either that or the flavour was very subtle. I wasn't a fan of the flavour and had assumed it would be more flavourful since it suggested a flavour.

I’m an avid coffee drinker, and drink at minimum one cup of coffee a day. When I got the opportunity to sample the McCafé Premium Roast, Medium Dark Roast Keurig K-Cup Pods, I was very excited. To my shock, when I went to my mailbox, it was an entire box full of pods! This was an 80 ct sized box of Keurig K-Cup pods, which I’ve only recently found out is sold at Costco. I’ve always been a fan of the McCafé product line, and this didn’t disappoint.
Luckily, I do have a Keurig machine, even though I don’t regularly have it out. One thing consistent with all McCafe coffee you can buy in stores – they’re always a smooth coffee. This coffee made such a large cup and had such a rich flavour and aroma. Very satisfying, and I really did miss this flavour which feels more nostalgic to the old flavour of McDonald’s coffee before they changed the beans. Would definitely recommend these pods to anyone who loved the old McDonald’s coffee.

Firstly - I'm not really an espresso drinker. I’ve had the McCafé Premium Medium Dark Roast Ground Coffee so I can only really compare to that out of the McCafé product line.
This is my first time trying these espresso capsules from McCafé, which are only compatible with the Nespresso Original Machines. So if you get them, make sure you have the same machine as they’re not universally usable by all Nespresso machines. The espresso has a nice rich aroma. It smelled nice and was quite smooth. It was a nice espresso – granted, this is also the first time I’ve had an espresso. I felt like it was a similar consistency and kick to a regular cup of coffee, even if I had more than one cup of espresso. (But caffeine also doesn’t affect me and I could drink all day and still take a nap.)
One thing consistent with all McCafe coffee you can buy in stores – they’re always a smooth coffee. The Espresso is the same, and the flavor is consistently rich and satisfying. Would definitely recommend this to an espresso lover.

I've been a fan of this forever - and when I say forever, that's been since we moved into our current house about 5 years ago. When moving things into the house, and just day to day use, it's so easy to get walls scratched up. This is something we bought super early on when becoming a homeowner and realized what a life saver it is. We also got really good at using it just because of how much we had to patch up. Easy to use - with no need to prime and prep, but I always like to sand it off first just in case to make it a smooth surface. It applies pink and dries white, and it dries relatively quickly. Somehow our pack was a bit more on the light pink side, compared to a more obnoxious cotton candy pink. But it still worked the same, and quite well.
Super useful and easy to use.

The newborn wash is great for baby. Gentle on baby’s sensitive skin leaving it feeling smooth and soft. The newborn wash rinses off easily and leaves baby’s skin clean and refreshed. It uses natural ingredients like oak extract which is known for its soothing properties. It’s tear and fragrance free with no harsh chemicals and smells, causes no irritation or reaction. This is such a plus as it’s always hard to tell what baby might be irritated to, especially when you’re just getting used to the day to day with baby. -

The newborn balm meant for sensitive skin and contains prebiotic oat which helps moisturize, especially in our dry weather here in Edmonton. The balm is quite thick but spreads nicely, and not greasy. It leaves the skin feeling very soft afterwards. Feel like it’ll be nice even if I used it. -

Edmonton is so dry! I’m constantly getting cuts from just doing daily routine things. I love having Band-aids on hand in case I need them. And these do better than the normal band-aid. Not only are they comfortable, but these have some sort of seal on them to help block out germs and hydrate to make the cut heal quicker.
I tried one from a minor paper cut, and it kept my finger feeling quite good while I had to do other household chores and work. The one thing I always hate about Band-aids are, once you wash your hands in water, they tend to fall off. This one I found actually stayed on for quite a lot longer than the average bandage because it’s waterproof. Apparently, it’s designed to help prevent scars – but I can’t attest to that, I don’t have a cut deep enough for that to be an issue.
Did I mention it felt very flexible and stretchy, and shaped well to my finger?

We recently had a baby, and we were putting off using pacifiers for the longest time. We had heard so many myths about how pacifiers are bad for teeth development, babies get too attached, and it’s hard to get your baby to stop using pacifiers.
We had a great time using this with our baby – which we only used at night. Out of the 3 types we were given (Ultra Air Nighttime, Ultra Air, and Ultra soft), Ultra Air Nighttime was definitely our favorite. The Ultra Soft Pacifier does the job during the day when baby goes down for a nap. It just wasn't easy to find in the crib if the room was dark. Baby always found it soothing and it follows the curves of baby's cheeks, leaving fewer marks and less irritation for more comfortable soothing. They really did a good job of helping baby sleep through the night or through a nap. They’re BPA-free, lightweight and breathable for sensitive baby skin.
