The Aveeno Kids Body and Face Gel Cream
From 6 year old:
“One hundred thumbs up! Wait what comes after 199? 200..201..202…. 1 million thumbs ups!!! 1 million and thirty six”
From parent:
The smell was the first thing I noticed. It’s pleasant, and light. But it is scented so if you struggle with that, this isn’t for you. I can manage with light scents. If I were to name this, I would call it Ocean Breeze 😉. I like that this lotion goes on very lightly. It doesn’t leave any greasy or heavy residue or feeling after. My kid struggles with dermatitis on her hands& arms and needs to moisturize them regularly to prevent flares. We usually avoid scented lotions, but this formula was gentle enough she had 0 reaction from it and it kept her skin soft.

We were given the opportunity to try this Flash Speed Force Runner. It’s an electronic shin guard that projects lights and sounds and activates every time your feet touch the ground!
If you know my kid, you know she loves to dress up. She also loves superhero’s. She has the masks, she has the capes, the costumes, the jackets…. So why not light up, shin guards that make sounds when you run?
We tested them in a few different environments.
The adjustable straps makes it easy to put on. The lights and sounds are pretty cool. As a parent I appreciate you can turn the sound off by holding and pressing the button down on the top of the guards. It took a bit for her to get used to though. The placement of the battery pack she said made it uncomfortable and awkward to run in. She did enjoy watching the lights though when we moved to a dark space. She’s undecided on if this is something she would use regularly strictly because of the comfort level.

This is our go to yogurt. We are not a dairy free family but can’t stand regular yogurt. We decided to try this brand as our child needed the probiotics, and she loves it. We tried other non dairy brands and couldn’t get past the smell and flavour. Admittedly this doesn’t taste to us like traditional yogurt. It’s much more pleasant, doesn’t have the same sourness to it. We like the natural or vanilla so we can add other fruits or flavours to it as wanted. Perfect for breakfast or a snack. -
Degree® Women Advanced 72H Nonstop Antiperspirant Deodorant Dry Spray

I was hopeful because I saw a lot of positive reviews, however this wasn’t a win. If I’m being honest, I’m not a huge fan of aerosol deodorants to begin with, but thought I would give it a try since I hadn’t purchased one in many years. This just reminded me why I don’t like them. It’s like inhaling scented powder. The moment I start to spray, I hold my breath to avoid breathing in the deodorant which is fully airborne, but inevitably it’s still in the air for some time when you are done spraying.
For the women’s antiperspirant, spraying it was a bit a of a challenge. I have arthritis, so if that’s an issue for you, this will be hard to press. It went on dry which was a positive as many aerosols go on wet, but I didn’t feel it held up to keeping me dry. I’m not a very active person being chronically ill, yet I still felt I was fairly sweaty after walking my child to school and back. Smell wise however, it worked well as a deodorant keeping me smelling fresh.

Sweat wise it was fine, however it didn’t hold up to the 72 hour claim as a deodorant. I showers anyway before 72 hours, however I didn’t feel I still smelled fresh after a day of general activity.

We just received Gabby’s Dollhouse Kitty Camera made by @spinmaster. This life-sized toy camera for kids looks just like the camera in the Gabby’s Dollhouse series, which makes it a cute addition to any Gabby’s Dollhouse Collection!
That being said, as a parent, I do feel this toy is geared toward younger kids. It’s novel for my 6 year old right now and she’s enjoying it, but I can see she will outgrow it very quickly. If you however have a younger child that isn’t ready for a real camera, this make believe camera would be great. She also dropped it a couple times on our hard wood, and it’s still living to see another day, so it is also durable.
It includes 3 pretend photos. Once the photos are loaded, take a quick look through the viewfinder, say cheese, and then push the button on top to make Kitty give you a wink, as the photo pops out on Kitty’s tongue!

HELLO!!
This week I tried Hello’s naturally friendly deodorant! Goodbye stinky, hello naturally friendly deodorant. Featuring a natural fragrance for any and everybody in 100% recycled packaging.
Full disclosure, I’m a sweaty human being. So I don’t typically use deodorant, I use antiperspirant. Since this is a deodorant, I had to alter my expectations. Immediately I really liked the scent. It was very fresh and clean smelling. Upon trying it however, it doesn’t have the powdery finish my antiperspirant does. It went on very sticky (you can see from my photo how it mushed a bit when applied). So I didn’t put my clothes on right away. I did my morning care routine, moisturizer, hair and what not, and in that time the stickiness went away and I could put on my shirt (it really wasn’t very long). I went about my day as usual which involves housework, daily walks to my child’s school and running errands. I was pleasantly surprised with its effectiveness. Although yes I did sweat from physical excursion (deodorant not antiperspirant), I still smelled good after it all. So as a deodorant I would say it worked quite well. It would make a good alternative for low impact days. If you aren not a sweaty human being like myself, and are a regular deodorant user, I would definitely recommend this one.
The benefits claimed:
• no aluminum, no baking soda, and no parabens
• 24 hour odor protection
• dermatologically tested
• container made from 100% recycled materials
• glides easily
• not tested on animals

I have been given the opportunity to try Colgate Total Whitening Toothpaste Gel Repair Reverse Refresh. I can’t speak to the whitening portion as I haven’t been able to use it for an extended period of time yet, however over all I would say it’s a great toothpaste choice. The flavour is a nice mint, not too strong, and the texture compared to other whitening toothpastes is light, not gritty and my teeth feel clean after use. I also like it has a flat topped lid for easy placement on the bathroom counter.
Repair, reverse, refresh with Colgate Total, the teeth whitening toothpaste that helps repair early enamel damage, helps reverse early gum damage, freshens breath and also protects sensitive teeth. Get 12 hour antibacterial protection with Colgate Total, a toothpaste that reduces bacteria on teeth, tongue, cheeks and gums and helps prevent plaque and gingivitis. This mint toothpaste has a flavour that will leave your mouth feeling clean and refreshes breath.
