I was really excited about trying this razor, since I do often get skin irritation shaving sensitive areas with my regular razor. I liked the smaller head, which made it noticeably easier to get to awkward spots, and the trimmer was AMAZING for getting those few hairs that sometimes just seem to escape the razor.
That being said, this is definitely a maintenance razor, not one to use if you've gone without shaving for any length of time. Because it glides SO gently over skin, it just can't handle thicker growth or longer hair when shaving without tons of extra time and effort.
Overall, I liked this razor a lot and the trimmer was a great bonus feature that was especially useful for me. But for thicker hair like mine, it's one that definitely won't work without hair being short to start with.

I was really excited to try this shave gel, and it didn't disappoint. The clear formula does make it easier to see where I'm shaving, but it does still foam up a bit, so there can still be a bit of an issue with visibility. It's still worlds better than the standard white foam. It felt great on my skin and there was a noticeable difference in the glide of my razor once I'd added the gel. Because I shave in the shower and the water washes it away as I'm shaving, I did have to apply it multiple times. Overall, a great product I'll use frequently! -

I was really excited to try a professional-quality natural wax but unfortunately, it came in a metal tub with instructions for heating that required warming it on either an electric stove, a hot plate, or a wax warmer. I use a gas stove and don't have a hot plate, so I didn't have many options for heating the wax.
I was able to get it to an appropriate temperature by putting it in the oven on the warm setting, but it took a while and wasn't an efficient solution.
Once the wax was warm, it went on nicely and removed even small, fine hairs. I liked the no-strip formula and I found irritation to be minimal. Overall, it was a great product for those with electric stoves, but not one I'll be purchasing again.

I received the El Toro Loco monster truck to review and all three of my boys, from 5-16, have loved having it in the house. While my 5-year-old likes it most, my vehicle loving older boys still enjoy grabbing it and rolling it around from time to time. I was especially impressed with how realistic the truck was compared to the actual Monster Jam truck and with the working suspension system, which really does bounce and cushion the truck just like the real thing. Overall, it's a great fun addition to my son's toy box, and one he loves playing with! -

As far as natural deodorants go, this one worked as well as any I have tried. By the end of the day, there was still some slight sweat smell, but it lasted pretty long overall. The "Fresh Citrus" scent smelled more like a melon scent to me, but it was still pleasant. Overall a decent choice for those that prefer natural deodorant. -
PAW Patrol Aqua Pups Marshall Transforming Dolphin Vehicle with Collectible Action Figure
Really cute little PAW Patrol toy with some fun features that make it great for imaginative play. I like the shooting water jet in the back and the way the cockpit closes when Marshall is inside. Definitely great for little fans of the series!

Firebuds Core Bo & Flash
This is a super cute little toy but there isn't much to it, it's really just a fire truck with a driver. The vehicle and character are sweet, just not anything too exciting. Great for fans of the show, but probably something to pass on otherwise.

I was really excited about this toothpaste, as I have used toothpaste with bioactive glass before and was happy to see other options available for strengthening tooth enamel. It does an amazing job cleaning when I brush my teeth. They feel cleaner after using this toothpaste than any other brand I've tried. But...it tastes like soap. The first time I used it, I thought maybe one of my kids had pranked me by putting soap on my toothbrush. Nope. Just the toothpaste. That being said, I'm still using it. Because I really do like how clean my teeth feel, and knowing that it's strengthening my enamel. But man, that taste. If you can put up with it, this is a great toothpaste. If you want something that tastes good, stay away from this one. -

I've used Dr. Teal's products a few times before, and I always love how much more relaxed I feel after using them. I generally purchase the eucalyptus scent but the elderberry variety has become my new favorite. I especially love how it gives me an aromatherapy experience while also soothing tired muscles. Definitely a must for helping relieve stiffness! -
