These are perfectly bite sized which I really appreciate. They're not messy to eat while still giving that excellent and addictive crunch factor. The addition of sea salt gives balance to the other flavours and I love that I can just take the whole packet and not worry about serving size. Yum!

I am very disheartened that I have to say I had a negative experience with this product. The initial application seemed okay, but as the day went on I felt quite oily. The next day I did notice a significant amount of breakouts in my nose, chin and forehead areas. I continued for a few days, still experiencing breakouts, which did cease when I stopped use of the product. I've concluded that I may be sensitive to one of the ingredients, or that maybe this formulation is better suited for someone with a more normal or dry skin type, where I have oily skin.
I thought the packaging was excellent, and the product itself applied nicely and dried without any feelings of stickiness which I liked, and I also appreciate that the company has great sustainable practices and benefits women in marginalized communities.

as someone who lives in a place that is especially cold and dry during the winter, a good body care routine is part of my daily comfort and maintenance. I don't often enjoy the texture of creams and lotions on my body, but I am a big fan of this formulation. I have been using it all over my body after showers and on my extra dry bits like elbows before bed, or while I watch a movie at night. It is very moisturizing without feeling too greasy or heavy, and it absorbs quickly. The package is hefty and beautifully designed, and I love that you can get refills rather than having to repurchase the whole pot. The scent profile is also lovely, it definitely lingers without being overpowering and I have been enjoying layering the sandalwood and musk notes with my other fragrances. I would definitely recommend this as a body cream especially if you have sensitive skin.

I am a mango lover, mango is my favourite fruit. I already occasionally buy dried mango for snacking, adding to salads, or for charcuterie boards or girl dinner. From first opening the package I was already impressed by the sweet and fresh aroma, and I could tell immediately that they would be soft. I have eaten them already for movie snacks. These will be the best dried mangoes you have ever eaten. They're the perfect balance of soft and chewy, and a delightfully fresh mango taste.

as a person with oily skin who gets breakouts at least a few times a month, I really like this moisturizer. I can feel it soaking into my skin and I can still feel the hydration into the morning. It doesn't irritate my skin, and I really like the inclusion of ingredients like cica for reducing irritation and redness and niacinamide works great for me to improve the appearance of post acne marks. I recommend this moisturizer and I would likely purchase it again.

This mineral formula is sweat resistant and SPF 50, making it a great choice for protecting my skin from UV rays while making the most of the beautiful weather we are having here in Calgary. 🦇❤️ even this vampire likes to get some rays… sometimes. 😂
I feel like it left my skin with a satiny feel and glowy finish and absorbed pretty quickly. The cap changes colour with UV exposure which is fun and a good reminder to apply and reapply when you’re outdoors even if it’s not sunny I love that it's reef friendly too!

These overnight spot patches really help me curb the urge to pick my skin, especially when I'm anxious or stressed. They are gentle, stay on all night, and visibly show results over the time you spend sleeping. They are a little bit thicker than some patches I have previously used, but I felt like that helped it be more absorbent and protective.

I've struggled with body acne since being a teenager. Less hormones and body washes have made a difference but this product is way easier to incorporate into my routine and has made more of a difference in the amount of my breakouts. I also like the inclusion of other skincare ingredients like niacinamide and vitamin c so I can take care of the skin on my body as much as I do the skin on my face. It absorbs easily and dries down fast, without leaving a tacky finish.

I received this product for free from Butterly and Band-Aid in exchange for my honest opinion.
Band-Aid Brand Pro Heal Adhesive Bandages are new to me, even though Band-Aid is a trusted and often repurchased brand in my household. They are waterproof and have a hydrocolloid gel pad to help wounds heal better and reduce the chance of scarring.
I really like these bandages for putting on my feet, I sometimes get blisters from breaking in new shoes and I felt the gel pad was very comfortable and facilitated better healing. It did stick very well despite being a high friction and bendy area. I would recommend these for keeping in your first aid kit.

I received this product for free in exchange for an honest review. This body lotion is very intense and restorative, and I prefer to use it on my driest bits like elbows, knees, wrists and knuckles. It does take a little while to absorb in my skin, so I think someone with drier skin than mine would enjoy the texture more. I prefer to use this after shower or before bed so I really have time to let it soak in, but I did find it helped a lot with some chronic scaly patches I have -
