This body cream is thick and extremely moisturizing. I’m not normally a fan of body creams because I have oily skin, but sometimes my skin feels dry and tight in the winter. With this body cream, I find that a little product goes a long way, and I’ve barely made a dent in the jar since I started testing it. I started out using too much product, which took a long time to absorb and left a greasy feel, so I wasn’t loving it at first.
Once I figured out I needed only a very small amount, it absorbed better and left my skin feeling soft and non-greasy. It smells great without being overpowering, and I find it works well as a hand cream as well, serving multiple purposes when my hands get overly dry.

This leash is a great addition to winter walks. I have a snow-loving pup that could spend hours outside if I let him. Unfortunately for him, I’m not a winter person and run cold all the time. The heated feature of this leash keeps my fingers from getting frosty when we are out on long walks, though I wish the warmest setting were slightly warmer for frigid days. I love the fun LED lights, and the flashlight is super bright and a great addition to help you see at night.
The only thing I dislike is the retractable leash since my pup isn’t great at walking with one. If I could purchase a non-retractable version with a thicker leash for our daily city walks and training sessions, I would love it. I will definitely keep the retractable leash for our outdoor exploring walks, where I can give him more freedom to roam.

I’ve recently started taking Goli Apple Cider Vinegar Gummies, and I’m impressed with the taste. They’re sweet, and somewhat like apple cider without the unpleasant vinegar taste that deters me from trying actual apple cider vinegar, despite its potential health benefits.
While I haven’t been taking them long enough to see any benefits yet, I recently found out that I’m B12 deficient, so I appreciate that these gummies also include B12 in the formula. However, I’ll need more time to determine if these alone will make a difference when I next go for blood work.
So far, I’m happy with the taste and convenience of these gummies. If with more time I find that they do help, and I want to continue taking them, I can easily find Goli Apple Cider Vinegar Gummies available at Costco when I need to restock.

As someone who generally avoids mineral sunscreens due to the permanent white cast they leave behind, I can confidently say that Blue Lizard Sunscreen applies white (ensuring no missed spots) and then dries completely clear. My skin is super sensitive, and this didn’t cause any irritation or itchiness that I sometimes experience with sunscreens.
Bonus points: it’s reef-friendly, with no oxybenzone or octinoxate, and water resistant for up to 80 minutes, making it the perfect sunscreen to pack for beach days.

My pup Finnegan loves treats, and Auntie Kim’s Kanine Kookies Wild Salmon treats have quickly become one of his absolute favourites. These crunchy treats have simple, natural ingredients, which I actively look for when purchasing anything for him.
With the buy Canadian movement, it’s also more important than ever for me to support Canadian companies and products. These treats check that box since they are made in Ontario using 100% Canadian ingredients.
The treats are larger than other treats but break apart easily into four segments, making them perfect for dogs of all sizes. Finnegan gives them two paws up, and we’ll be buying more. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a healthy, locally made treat their dog will love.

These treats are my puppy's new most high value I'll do anything for them treats. He's obsessed and can tell when I grab this bag apart from all his other treats. He'll start doing tricks before I've started training and will continue hoping for more treats for 30 minutes after we're done a training session. I love that they're made with simple healthy ingredients which is important when training a puppy since I go through a lot of treats. I love that one cookie can easily break apart into four smaller pieces making them great for cutting down on calories and going further when training.

These patches are perfect for someone like me who gets eaten alive by bugs all summer. They soothe the bite and since the patches cover the area it also prevents scratching. Unfortunately they don't appear to be widely available where I am so they aren't something that is easy to go grab when I need them. -

I'm still on the fence after giving this serum a couple of weeks before reviewing it. I believe the bottle may be faulty as only 2 of 3 nozzles dispense the product, and I've tried everything to get the third nozzle to work. This is a major design flaw coming from a product with a hefty price tag. From the formulas that do dispense, I like that they are lightweight, mix and apply easily, with a little going a long way. I'm also happy that the scent is subtle and not overpowering. The product falls short in performance, which could be because I'm not getting the full formulation. Since using the serum, I haven't noticed any difference in my eye area. While I don't normally have dry skin, this product doesn't hydrate, and I feel like it may actually dehydrate my eye area a bit when compared to other eye serums I use. -

This hand soap exceeded my expectations. It leaves my skin soft and silky instead of dry like my usual hand wash. It smells incredible and foams really well. The only thing that would prevent me from purchasing is the container itself as I'm not a fan of how it looks on my counter. If they could hurry up and come out with a larger refills type bottle I would switch to this hand soap immediately. -

This product really surprised me out of all the ones I was sent to test. I thought I would like this product the least because it contains SLS which is a product I actively avoid in my products. The shampoo comes in a great bottle that fits well in my hand and makes getting product out easy. It smells amazing and the scent lingers in my hair which I love. My hair came out soft and smooth which was another great bonus. I'm unsure if I would purchase this product again because it contains SLS so it really isn't as "natural" as the brand is trying to make it out to be. I think if they re-made the formula and made it actually natural I would give it a chance. For now I will stick to my all natural shampoo and conditioner that are without chemicals. -
