I received this product free from Buttery to Try.
Wow. This is in fact a premium instant dark roast coffee. I make my coffee with a third milk, two thirds water and microwave to a boil. I added one and a half teaspoons of the instant coffee, sugar to taste, and stirred to a froth.
It was amazing. A great beautiful creamy bold taste with a hint of cocoa. Perfect for a morning wake-up. Almost that of a coffee latte.
Little after taste but a wonderful flavour that rolls off the tongue.
You definitely want a 2nd.

This is a wonderfully stylish looking kettle.
It is multi-functional as it allows you to heat the water to multiple temperature settings as stands apart for those that only boil water.
The 30 min keep warm feature is added bonus.
Pros:
- Multiple Temperature Heat Settings allows you to heat the water to what you need it for.
- Keep warm feature is awesome
- Large Open mouth for easy fill, and cleaning
- Easing mounting to base with 360 connection
- auto shut off and run dry safety feature is essential
- Large plastic handle for better steady pour capability.
- Intuitively easy to use controls for setting temps. One power button with default full boil, and the other button controls the optional temp controls.
- Unit has lights and beeps to alert user of completed heat cycles.
- Base of kettle remains cool and therefore can be placed on table directly or replaced onto heating base.
- 2 Year warranty
Cons:
- Glass kettle and therefore adds to the weight for handling and pouring
- Glass heats too so handle with care.
- Base means this is a counter top items that takes permanent counter space
- Price is significantly higher then conventional kettles but it offers more functionality.

This immune support gummie does not have the texture of a typical Gummie. It has almost a pasty sandy granularity to it. Provided with 2 sample packs of 2 gummies each and as a result could not gauge if it provides any actual immune support. The flavour of the Black Elderberry was there but not strong. There was however also a chemical like taste to the Gummie. I don't see any benefit provided by this product.

After following the directions and exfoliating my skin, this has left my skin feeling clean, smooth and soft. The pores of my skin feel wonderfully open. There is a very soft lavender scent left behind that is not overwhelming, but instead very inspired relaxation. The scrub contained very fine granules that did not scratch at all. Tested on both my hands and face and feel absolutely wonderful. This will be a well added regiment for any cleansing and relaxation activities in addition to a daily maintenance routine for Face and Body. -

The Paw Patrol pups get re-invented. These action figures should fit in the vehicles if you already have them. The pups in the new Movie Adventure to be released soon receive new powers. Thus, they also get new uniforms. These action figures display these new uniforms. Any toddler is just waiting to see this new movie to be released next month and will surely want the action figures to re-enact the movie or create new stories. I was allocated to be Rubble. (LOL).
The action figures have one moving part and that is the Head. It swivels 360 degrees. The Movie Pack has all 6 main pups. The uniforms have more of a flash to represent the new powers. Choose your favorite pup and join your toddler in the fun and imagination.

Air Hogs Zero Gravity Sprint Wall Climber

While this is a fun time for kids. It is short lived as it’s not as easy to control the car using the controller. Kids get tired and frustrated fast and in no time at all the battery in the car is exhausted and needs a recharge. The claims are true however, it will run on the smooth clean surface of the floor, wall and ceiling. Quite cool actually. Note: Kids need parents around to put it on the wall and ceiling.
Pros
- Controller is small for small hands
- Car shell is made of flexible plastic less likely to crack when it falls from the wall/ceiling when the battery dies
- The car actually goes quite fast
- The car cannot change from wall to ceiling without being placed on the wall or ceiling.
Cons
- Wall Racing runs the suction fan which is uses the battery faster. The battery only lasts for 10 -15 min per 45 min charge cycle. Little ones get impatient during this time.
- The battery in the car is not changeable and when the battery stops holding a charge the car will be useless
- The car runs fairly fast with no way to slow it down. It’s difficult to use the controller with limited wall or ceiling space. The next gen uses a laser controller which would be easier for kids to use.

Assembly Required by an adult as there are small parts. Stickers are required to be stuck.
Kids are impatient, do the stickers for them (but with them) as it takes patience and time to stick properly
Metal housing on the Truck, but rest of parts are plastic
15 min assembly time, no tools required, snap together - One time assembly only.
Hard to disassemble for storage. Storage made more efficiently by putting the tower to flat horizontal position.
Assembly instruction in many languages, but best to follow pictures for simplicity
Parts are plastic. No spring parts, The launcher is based on jamming/driving the leaver down aggressively which propels the truck. You will want to teach the child where to look and where to strike the launcher for safety. (ie. the end of the launcher handle)
Monster trucks ... do I need say more.
Toy comes with only one truck, but would have been better with 2 for kid competitions
To win ... hit the appropriate number plastic flag (1 thru 10). The 10th flag launches the celebration top of the tower with tinsel.
Note. The tower can be tilted to 5 positions for various ways to tip the flags.
Caution Note: This should not be played with in or near the direction of TV's, Xmas Trees etc. as the launcher could propel the metal body truck toy over the Pole/Flag Target and cause damage/breakage. Best to educate the child where is safe to play with this toy.
Children who love monster trucks play for hours, and return to have competitions/challenges

I tried the Colgate Advance Repair and Protect for 3 times a day, for 3 days. It comes in a 120ml recyclable tube which is self standing for reduced counter space usage.
The the tooth paste seems not as thick as other toothpastes and is white containing blue specs in it. It has a minty flavour which is nice and not over powering strong. It does not have a long lasting after taste yet still leaves your mouth feeling fresh and clean.
As to the claims of Advance protect and repair, the usage of the tooth paste during a short period of review cannot be substantiated over short time. I would anticipate this could take many month or years of use to see effects. I did however feel a reduction of tooth sensitivity which gives hope to results. Long term use and time will tell.

Irish Spring Body Wash lives up to its claims. I tested and used it during 24 hour periods and it lasts.
Works especially well during the hot muggy summer days and nights.
The bottle has a perfect use pump action. The smell of the body wash is fresh and stays with you for the 24 hours claimed.
With this bodywash, your skin feels the moisture retenion without a dry or film left behind.
The smell keeps you feeling crisp, alert and invigorated.
Definitely one of the top Men's Bodywash out there.
