I got the new Vim Power & Shine Kitchen spray with a Refill Ecopak for free for review purposes. It's meant to tackle dirt, grease, even burnt-on food stains. You just spray the solution on the kitchen surface, wait a few seconds or minutes (for tougher stains), + wipe it clean with a cloth or sponge.
The cool concept about this product is the recyclable refill pack. Instead of having to buy another full-sized bottle, you just need to repurchase the refill ecopak , which reduces plastic waste. The formula is also 10 X concentrated. You just fill the original spray bottle with water up to the neck's base, then screw the refill bottle onto it until it clicks. The power and shine solution will mix with the water at this point. Just screw back the spray nozzle and clean away!
I really liked how easy this was to assemble and it did a great job at removing dirt and grease from my countertops. I did notice it left them shiny and I'm really happy they didn't feel sticky after I wiped them down. The best result was how sparkly it left my sink looking. No streaks either, which means less time spent cleaning. The scent is quite pleasant, too. It gave my kitchen a light, clean fragrance. The spray nozzle also dispersed the right amount of product, no leaks whatsoever.
Another great point is that it's made with a 100% natural solution, giving me peace of mind that it won't be spreading toxic chemicals onto my food prep area. I'll definitely consider purchasing a refill when I run out. So convenient and better for the environment as well!

The sparkling white raspberry note gives this eau de toilette a fresh twist and the fruity, floral notes create a lingering sweetness. It's delicate but very feminine, as well. I found it to be a good scent to wear every day, as it's not overpowering. Just love it!! I got a mini vial of it and will definitely consider purchasing the full sized bottle. -

I got a free product sample for review purposes but all opinions are my own. The first thing I noticed was that the serum didn't contain any fragrance and compared to others I've tried, this one had a somewhat milky texture that was very easy to absorb. It did have a slight tacky feel to it as it dried down, but this only lasted about a minute before my skin felt completely dry and soft.
Within the first week of use, it did seem like fine lines were less noticeable and more moisturized, especially on my forehead. My skin, in general, looked more plump than usual, which gave it a younger appearance. I did make sure to avoid the eye area, although at some points, I did feel a minimal tingling sensation. It didn't last too long, which was a relief. Other than that, I didn't experience any redness or peeling at all, which can be common with retinol products. I also made sure to wear sunscreen every time I applied the serum. It actually recommends you continue to do this a week after application, as well.
Overall, I really enjoyed the serum and wouldn't mind purchasing the full-sized product.

The Trident Vibes gum is so good! The taste lasts and lasts, and the texture remains chewy, not hard like some gum gets after you've chewed it for a while. My two favorite flavors are Spearmint Rush and Peppermint Wave. They start off sweet and transform into minty flavors, and they definitely freshen your breath really well! They also have a hard shell coating, which prevents the gum from sticking together, especially if you have them in the car or purse during warmer weather. I also love how it comes in a little canister package with two openings. You can either grab one at a time or pour a few out to share. Overall, this gum really stands out from the rest! -

This antiperspirant did a great job at keeping my armpits dry all day and I must say, I really enjoyed the scent. Application was a breeze! The spray had a fine mist and it applied directly where I wanted it. It didn't leave my skin soaking wet or tacky either. This made it easy for me to get dressed quickly and get on with my day. I also didn't have a need to reapply either. As for stains left on clothing, I didn't notice any, which is great! The only thing I would suggest is to create an aluminum-free formula in the future. -

I absolutely loved this serum! Thanks to the hyaluronic acid formula, it really helped to hydrate my skin and gave me a nice glow afterwards. I especially liked how the skin around my eyes, which are prone to fine lines, looked more supple and brightened. I have also started to use it on my neck and have already noticed a firmer appearance after just a few days of use! As for the texture, it wasn't sticky or tacky, which I appreciated, and it didn't have any noticeable scent either. Therefore, great for applying under makeup, as it absorbs well. Added bonus, no skin irritation or breakouts either! For a drugstore brand, this has really impressed me and I will seriously keep it on my list of must-haves for skincare! -

I recently had the pleasure of trying for free the Geovita Rice and Lentil Blend. It contains a mix of long-grain rice, red and yellow lentils, as well as soy grits, which are all organic and of superior quality, being imported from Italy. Although you can cook and eat it as is, I added mine to a soup base with some vegetables. It cooked well and gave the soup a nice flavor and heartiness. The packaging recommends you cook it for 10 minutes, but I let mine simmer for a little while longer, which gave the mix a softer texture. This blend is low in fat, sodium free, and a good source of fibre, all while being free of GMOs! Great product! -

These rice cakes definitely had the taste of buttered popcorn and were so addictive, too! They aren't too salty and the rice cake made for a filling snack, either eaten plain or with toppings. It was also sturdy and the popcorn flavor did not overwhelm the other ingredients I added to it. Great alternative to chips, as well! -

I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review. I really enjoyed trying out this facial hair removal tool and I liked how simple it was to put together. It was quick and effective to use, and removed hair in a simple rotating motion. The light feature also really helped see areas I may have missed. Overall, it left my face hair free and smooth. However, I'd recommend this mostly for removing finer peach fuzz, as certain areas with thicker hair did end up showing some stubble. As for regrowth, hair did not grow back any thicker than usual, so that was good. Although it didn't irritate my skin, in general, I would warn against using this tool near delicate skin area around the eyes. It did cause redness there and I did get some minor cuts. Other than that, I didn't experience any other issues. Clean up was easy and I also love how portable it is. Great tool! -
