Both my young daughter and I fell in love with this cheeky little Toothless the moment we opened the bag it was in! It's super soft, it's got great detail, the legs are slightly weighed with pellets so that it can stand / sit up on its own, and the wings and tail move easily so that kids can move them in lots of positions during play! The 'flaps' on Toothless' tail are felt, so they're more firm, I just hope my kids don't bend them out of shape or anything, but they're sewed in to the tail really well. The tongue is also a thin fabric, so I hope the kids don't pull it out! Overall, though, I'd say the quality is pretty great on him!
My daughter has hardly let go of him since we received him, and I can't blame her. I recommend this Toothless for any How To Train Your Dragon fan, young and old!

Myoflex® Extra Strength Deep Penetrating Pain Relief Rub

I hadn't had many opportunities to use this right after receiving my Myoflex pain relief rub, but I'm still glad I had it after a week or so when I got some lower back pain. I had my husband help apply it and was happy with how it went on. It's not greasy at all, so there was no residue on his hands or on my back after he rubbed it in for me. There was no gross sensation of my shirt sticking to my back after, or anything else! Just mostly odor-free, non-greasy lotion that was absorbed into the skin. (I say mostly odor-free because despite them saying it has none, it still has that slight smell that other pain relief lotions have. It's not bad or strong, by any means, but it still has that slight distinguishable smell.)
I wasn't sure if I felt a difference at first, but after a little bit, I did feel my back pain ease. That was a win for me! It made it much more tolerable compared to what it was.
I'll be happy to have this on hand for future aches and pains! Between my husband, my mom who lives with us, and myself, it'll be a great thing to have all the time in our medicine cabinet.

I was pretty excited to receive this product. Originally, I thought it was JUST a jump starter, but it's actually more than that, and super easy to use all the features!
First off, it has a really bright and easy to read digital screen that tells you the percentage of the device and what steps you need to do if you're about to jump a battery. This is what impressed me! It actually signals to you if you have the cables on the wrong side of the battery, when you're good to start the car and when to remove the cables. It's SO nice to have that feature! I admit I used to be able to jump cars with no issues since I was a teenager, but after an off- experience as an adult when the cables somehow got put on the wrong prongs of the battery, the cables began melting, dripping rubber and metal onto the cars and ground. The fire department ended up having to be called to help us. That's made me paranoid to ever jump cars again, but if I'm using this fella, I think I'll be able to gain my confidence again!
(Regretfully, I haven't been able to test jumping anything yet. The day before I got it, someone needed a boost, but ever since I've owned it, I haven't had a chance, yet!)
The other cool feature this jump starter has that I wasn't originally aware of is the lights! It has two lights on one end of the device. They shine on with one click of the flashlight button, brighter with a second click, flashing red (like hazards) with a third click, and slower flashing red lights with a fourth click. This is great if you need some extra hazards lights where yours can't be seen or in a situation you for some reason don't have hazard lights available.
This jump starter device is small enough that you can EASILY keep it in your car without taking up hardly any space, in a backpack, or even a good size purse! Be sure to read the instruction manual ahead of time so you know the ins and outs of it, how to charge it and store it properly and so on. It isn't a long read, but has lots of invaluable information.
At this point, I absolutely recommend this device, even just for the peace of mind. It feels durable, like it's made of quality materials, and easy enough that anyone can use it, even those with little car experience. I'll be able to recommend it much more highly when I'm able to give the booster itself a try!

All of the little pieces straight out of the box were a bit intimidating at first, being I was the grown up who was going to assemble it, but the instructions were easy to follow and it wasn't as daunting as I first thought it might be!
One thing I suggest for anyone assembling this is to maybe put the stickers on first. It isn't too hard to do after it's assembled, but it might be easier to line them up when the whole structure isn't built yet.
This toy is one that both my eight year old son AND three year old daughter wanted to play with! (And their thirty-five year old father.) Something we found is that the kids had a bit of trouble hitting the launcher hard enough to get the monster truck to fly up, but after a lot of practice, they started to get the hang of it! It also took quite a few tries to get the monster truck to hit the structure hard enough (the red box) to make it topple over, but again, it just takes practice. You wouldn't want the button to be any more sensitive or it would be falling over with the slightest touch. On the plus side, it all feels pretty durable and like it'll last quite a while!
As I write this review, both of my kids (and the grown up kid I'm married to!) are having a blast with it, yelling and cheering, eagerly waiting for their turn to launch the truck next. It's a fairly simple toy that doesn't take up much from that should keep them amused for a while! Considering my son tends to gets bored of anything that isn't electronic, I'm counting this as a huge win! I'm going to be keeping an eye out for more toys like this and by Spin Master!

Mastercraft Stax Medium Box with Metal Front Latches, 80-lb

This storage box is fantastic! You can use it as a standalone storage box, or you can buy the matching set where they stack up and lock together! For those who take their tools on the go or even just have a garage and want to wheel the tools closer to where you need them, this is a great feature.
The size is perfect. We have a socket and tool set (also Mastercraft!) that fits perfectly in the bottom and the box has room to spare, even with the removable tray placed inside. (I took a photo of our box filled up, but for some reason it currently isn't allowing me to add more than one photo. I'll try again later!)
My husband isn't the best at keeping his tools all in one place, but I'm hoping that'll change with this, especially with how much it can hold. Rather than have some loose, miscellaneous tools in junk drawers, they're all together safely in one place.
This is great for those who need a place to put all the tools the handy person in your life (or not so handy, but they try, and that counts for something) have so you know exactly where to find them.

PanOxyl definitely knows what they're doing in regards to skin care!
Their Acne Wash (made with 4% benzoyl peroxide) is super easy and smooth to apply, washes off easily after the two minutes is up, and is gentle on the skin. It helps clean out pores and keeps my skin clear, not to mention makes my face feel fresh!
I find that I only need to apply it once a day (I personally do it at night before bed), but you can increase it to 2-3 times a day if you feel the need to.
Like all of their other products, I find that this works great. I absolutely recommend it as a daily wash! (Along with their other products!)

This is a cute little toy that's great for young kids! It's got little beads for the younger ones to fiddle with, and the button is easy to press to play music!
The variety of songs is more than I expected, as well. It's got the classic ones like the "ABC" alphabet song and "Old McDonald Had A Farm," and more current, fun songs like "Wait a minute, we're fish!"
It's colorful, fun, and great for young kids! My two year old loves it!

Lately, I've been trying to find healthier alternatives to the foods that my family enjoys eating. It was great timing that Butterball reached out and offered to let me try their turkey dogs! I was a bit skeptical about how they'd taste, but I was willing to try them!
The first bite I took of one just as it was was super juicy. It tasted great! I admit, once I swallowed it, I then tasted the difference. When I continued to eat it, I realized there really wasn't that huge of one. Once it's on a bun with condiments and toppings, there really isn't a big difference between it and a regular hot dog - it's just a healthier alternative!
I will absolutely look into buying these again. They're healthier, less fat, and still taste good! :)

I admit, I wasn't expecting to like this bacon much. We eat bacon more frequently than we used to and as much as I enjoy bacon, I wanted to consider healthier alternatives. It was great timing that Butterball Canada decided to give me a chance to try their turkey bacon! I've heard that turkey bacon isn't that great, but I was willing to give it a shot!
The first thing I notice is that there's very little fat when cooking it. The pan we fried it in wasn't even that dirty after! The slices are also a really good size.
When it came to taste it, I reluctantly took a small bite. To my amazement, it ACTUALLY tastes like bacon! Real bacon! Both my husband and kids enjoyed it, and the fact it's healthier? That's an absolute win in my book. I will absolutely buy this again in the future. Thanks, Butterball!

I have to say, I was looking forward to trying out this TheraBreath™ Whitening Oral Rinse. It's kosher, vegan, gluten-free and contains no alcohol. It's also apparently the fastest growing mouthwash right now, rankng at the #3 best seller in Canada, #2 in the US. It was even founded by a dentist. By description, it sounds like a great product! In practice, however...? I just don't love it, at this point.
The first time I used it, I didn't think it had too much taste to it. After keeping it in my mouth for the two minutes it requires, I wished it was maybe a bit more of a minty flavour. It's not exactly pleasant, though I wouldn't go as far to say it's BAD, either. The aftertaste doesn't linger long, thankfully, so once you spit it out and rinse your mouth out with some water when you're finished, you don't have to deal with it very long. Plus, the more you use it, the more you kind of get used to it.
In their advertising, they say there's no burning feeling. Personally, I found it actually does, a bit. It isn't as bad as other brands I've used in the past, perhaps, but it's definitely still noticeable and can be mildly uncomfortable until you get used to it.
Lastly, the results. I've used it twice a day for about a week and so far I haven't seen much of a difference in my teeth. They don't seem any whiter than when I started, but I'm going to give it more time and see if anything changes. It also says it prevents future staining, so that's something else that will be determined after some more time. On the plus side, at least my mouth does feel more fresh, so if nothing else, there's that!
