I am grateful to have received Saltwinds Coffee Company Ocean Air Inflused coffee in Salted Caramel for free in exchange for my honest review. ☕️ While this is coffee, let me give you the tea: I don’t often have coffee, saving it for special occasions and weekend brunches, but when I do it’s gotta be good! I have spent the last few weekends, even squeezing in the odd weekday enjoying this coffee.
I love the powerful full flavour of the coffee with the subtle hints of caramel, it doesn’t taste artificial. The cool process of the ocean air infusing with the coffee resulting in a rich, full body coffee is so unique.
To make it even more festive I added a splash off eggnog!
⭐️ Awarded a bronze medal at the 2023 Producers and Roasters Forum El Salvador International Cold Brew Competition!
💪 Flavourful, smooth
🌍 Bonus: I love that Saltwinds Coffee Company is commitment to Sustainability and responsible sourcing freshly roasted daily in Keswick, NB, Canada!!
🎁 This is a great gift idea or stocking stuffer for the coffee lover in your life!
I will be certainly trying this in an espresso martini next! I think it has the perfect well rounded flavour.

Quick and SO Easy to use! Being a homeowner to an old home, we are always working on some sort of project around the house, and sometimes one project leads to others you don’t have time for right away… I was so grateful to receive for free the Wall Repair Patch Kit featuring DRYDEX Dry Time Indicator Spackling which comes with all of the tools needed to complete a wall-patching project.
The kit may be used to repair holes up to 3 inches in diameter in drywall, plaster or masonry surfaces. This was perfect for our old plaster walls! DRYDEX Spackling provides a unique dry-time indicator that indicates when the patched surface is ready to be sanded and painted. Starts off pink and turns white as it’s dry!
As you can see on the wall sections filled in, this product is a homeowner-must have and a great tool for renters who need a little cover-up.

So grateful to receive this Vida by PADERNO Pizza Cutter for free for testing purposes. My husband and I LOVE our pizza nights and now do them for the whole family… with our pup enjoying a mini pizza too! 🐾 BUT one thing I always hate about making our own pizzas is cutting them! My husband can attest to the fact I never cut our pizzas 😂 I hate ruining it with a bad cutter, attempting to go over the same slice you cut and making a mess! 🍕 BUT we put our new cutter to the test 💪 and we didn’t have to go over the cuts, didn’t have to use extreme physical pressure… it just sliced perfectly! A perfect slice the first time! -

I was grateful to be sent Vida by PADERNO Rectangular Ceramic Baking Dish for free for testing purposes, and I put it to the test! It said scratch-resistant so I tested cutting my focaccia in the baking dish to serve right away. I love how this dish is stylish enough to present from oven-to-table. The glossy finish provides long-lasting durability, the handles are easy to lift while wearing oven mitts AND I love that it is dishwasher, oven, and microwave-safe!
The colour is perfect for hosting my first thanksgiving in my new home, I am so excited to use this dish again and again for years to come!

Especially during my time of the month my adult acne can be annoying to say the least… it is so great to have my secret weapon: Panoxyl PM Blemish Brightening Patches. With spot-fading technology, these patches are proven to visibly improve the appearance of acne marks, skin texture and pores! I used them over a of couple of my worst days. I love that they’re larger than the average acne patch to cover more of my problem areas at once ✨
While I received these patches free for testing purposes they are also free from parabens, fragrances, latex, and dyes!! ☠️
Suitable for all skin types, these patches can help your skin look its best and bring out your most confident you. 🥰 For the price, its a bit expensive, so a definite splurge item.

There’s just something special about weekend brunch… taking time to make a thoughtful meal with my love. on weekends, I enjoy the process of freshly grinding and French pressing my coffee and whipping up some oat milk for a lovely latte to jump start the new week ahead!
I got to try Crank Coffee Morning Glory beans and LOVED IT! No cranky mornings with Crank Morning Glory. I loved learning that their beans are sourced from Central America, South America and Indonesia, Morning Glory flavour is balanced and smooth giving me exactly what I need on a Sunday morning. By blending two separate roasts, this complex product has notes of roasted nut, spice, and black pepper with a hint of acidity perfectly balanced with a splash of homemade oat milk or enjoyed black by my husband! I love that Crank Coffee is 100% Fair-trade Organic Arabica coffee beans!! Will definitly be adding Crank Coffee to my list of favourites and look forward to trying more of their coffee in the near future.

I am so grateful to have received L’Occitane Almond Shower Cream for free for testing purposes. ⭐️ I have LOVED adding a little extra luxury to my shower self-care routine over the last couple of weeks… this product has a decadence about it. The whipped Almond shower cleanser gently cleanses, nourishes, and softens your skin with the sweet scent of almonds… but smells more like vanilla to me. The smell is very subtle but doesn’t last on the skin too long outside of the shower. The texture is like a thick whipped cream, and bubbles up nicely. 🫧 A little goes a long way and leaves you feeling divine! ✨

I got these Sarna Bug Bite Patches for free from Sarna Lotion and Butterly in exchange for my honest review. I don’t know about you but bugs LOVE me, and to not itch feels impossible so receiving these I was definitely (for the first time) looking forward to getting a bug bite and testing these for all of my outdoor summer adventures!
These peel-and-stick bug bite patches contain skin-soothing botanicals and help prevent picking and scratching. Pack them in your travel bag and enjoy all life’s adventures.
After getting a bite, I slapped on a patch and let the magic work. It was a bit itchy at first, but then I forgot about it… so much so that while I showered I noticed it was still perfectly stuck on my leg!
Definitely will be bringing these on my camping adventures!

recently tried the L'Occitane Artichoke Body Cream, which I received for free to try in exchange for my honest review.
First impressions: it comes in a box which provides some instructions on how to use and properly massage. Packaged in a glass jar it makes this product feel even more luxurious. The cream texture is rich and fast absorbing. I LOVE the smell, while it says Artichoke it is a very light fresh scent that reminds me of cucumbers.
Both my husband and I treated ourselves to this lotions luxury focusing extra attention to our lower backs. Working at a desk and working in the trades we are using and straining our backs in different ways and after just 2 days of use we both noticed a difference! This body cream takes self-care to a whole new level of luxury.
BONUS: Treat yourself to a self-massage or make it a date night massage with your partner leaving you feeling refreshed!

Thank you Lancome and Butterly for sending me the Lancôme Rénergie H.C.F. Triple Serum Eye for free for testing purposes. Since I turned 29 in April I had decided it was time to find some more proactive anti-aging products than just Vaseline and this eye serum offers a high-performance anti-aging concentrate, precisely calibrated for the full eye contour. Aiding in aging gracefully... This product allows you to smooth and sculpt those crows feet (or as I like to call them my smile lines)🐦⬛ also a great excuse for a little eye massage first thing in the morning! It is scented, but I LOVE the scent… If I could give “rich woman” a scent - that would be it! -
