AVEENO® Eczema Care Itch Relief Balm, Fragrance Free

My sons and I all suffer from Eczema/dry skin. When one of my son's was a baby his eczema was so bad that we would get scabs on his face and the only remedy out there was a mediated steroid cream that we received from the doctor(which I hated having to use). Nowadays my sons only suffer from light cases of Eczema patches and this product is fantastic for it.
The texture is not too thick, there is no scent, and it leaves the applied area with a nice 'layer' of cream keeping you moisturized without being too greasy. I placed this on my son and within 2 days his eczema patch on his cheek was gone (applied this cream in the morning and at night before bed). My only issue with this product is it is a little on the pricey side - but it is worth every penny. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who suffers from light to moderate eczema - not sure how it will work with severe cases of eczema.

I have very dry skin all year, so any moisturized I can find that keeps my skin soft all day is a winner in my book!
I found this product did moisturize my skin well and kept it hydrated all day, but I found it to be a little greasy applying on my skin.The texture is thick and you need to work it in a lot to get it fully incorporated with no visible cream lines left on your skin. It does have a great smell, not to strong or sweet, just right, and it did keep me hydrated for the day. With that being said it was a good product but not one that I would be willing to switch from my current brand of lotion for.

I was so excited to get selected for this campaign, especially since I have really dry skin and wanted to see how it compared to my current body wash.
For starters the scent is not one that I would normally choose in a body wash, so when I got the Apricot and Honey Wash I didn't think I would like it - WRONNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGG!!! It smelled great (not strong at all), even my husband who is typically only into citrus smells or clean smells, commented right away that he really liked the smell (he used it before I got a chance to) :)
I have really dry skin and by applying this it applied great and rinsed off quickly (I find some body washes you have to rub with your hands to get the 'residue' off, not this one). It moisturized my skin just enough without a sticky feeling to it.
I have been using it everyday since receiving it and would purchase it again.

So excited to have been selected for this review. I am a huge fan of trying out different teas so being choosen was so exciting. The bags that these come in are amazing, its almost like an organza bag, perfectly sealed in a pyramid - no way any loose leaves will be sneaking out as with some other brands and then you get a piece in your mouth while drinking.
This flavour in particular I wasen't excited to try as I have tried other berry flavours in the past, and was not a fan. However, out of the three teas I received to test this one ended up being my favorite. The scent did smell like fresh berries (not a potpourri type smell as I have had in the past with other teas). The taste was great - not to strong with just the right amount of berry flavour. I was even able to drink this black with no sugar or milk as I typically drink my tea.
I wiould definetly buy this flavour again.

This flavour in particular I was not a fan of. I have tried Chai Teas in the past and haven't been a fan, but I was willing to give this one a try. The smell is the same as any Chai Tea you would get, I just found the flavour to be very strong for my tastes. This was my least favoritte of the three that I received to try.

This flavour in particular I thought was ok. It's bold like a high quality tea house black tea but smooth and full of sweet vanilla bean flavor. I added a splash of milk and sugar. I would drink this one again, but it wasen't my favorite.

When I received this box to review my inital thought was to make a pasta salad (that didn't happen), so I made it with red sauce one night. I find the tasta and texture to not be the same as regular pasta and although it was still good, my husband and my kids weren't overly impressed with it, and he said it wasen't the greatest.
Again as with some pasta brands out there I find this to be a bit too pricey. I am willing to pay for pricey things if its enjoyable and worth the money, but in this case I don't think it is. I think this might have tasted better as a pasta salad as I had originally wanted to make - but pasta (if its good) should taste good any way you make it.
Would I buy this pasta - No I think there are better ones on the market with the same benefits that are better. It was ok.

I can't believe this is not 'White Traditional Pasta'. It has so much nutritionally rich nutrients inculding more fibre, and you would never know its not regular pasta. I have tried many 'non-white/traditional pastas' before and they are in one word DISGUSTING. This pasta however is AMAZING...Even my picky husband who just sees anything that says 'Fibre' or 'Whole Wheat' and automatically refuses to eat it LOVED this pasta.
It comes in a variety of shapes and cooks like regular Pasta. My only negative (and its not a BIG negative) is that this pasta is a little pricey when you compare it to other brands out there, but I have seen it go on sale before so you can stock up on it then.
I would recommend this to anyone looking for a little healthier version of pasta and one that even the pickest eater will love!

I don't usually like to wear any type of lip balm as I find they usually have a scent that is too strong and I can't stand it, or it leaves the inner part of my lips dry, cracked and sticky. This product however did not do that.
It applies very smoothly and leaves my lips super soft with a nice light shine. I loved applying this before I went to bed and loved how soft my lips were when I woke up in the morning (even the hubby agreed - LOL). He liked it so much, that I caught him a couple times using it himself.
If you have very dry lips or just want some added moisture, this product is Fantastic...and there is no harsh scents.

I used this as a teenager and I think this product is great for teens and women of all ages.
I would not use this on a regular basis as I don't think it measures up to my current lotions. I find the creme to be really thick (almost like a baby diaper rash cream) and although it leaves my skin soft, I find it also leaves a lthin film on my skin which I don't like.
This product is ok, I don't think its bad, but I think there are better ones out on the market today.
