I've tried many moisturizers and this is one of the most unique, but I like it, mostly for the silky texture. It feels like the thicker version of it's hydro boost serum sister, so I found putting this on after that one a little redundant. It goes on smoothly (don't need very much for coverage) and dries to matte quickly without making my skin feel tight. It really has no scent, and I didn't have any negative skin interactions, so it's perfect for those with sensitive skin. I just found that it didn't have any other benefits than any other serum or moisturizer, which is why I can't give it 5 stars.

I've tried A LOT of serums and this is one of the better ones in my opinion, mostly for the silky texture. It feels like the thinner version of it's gel cream sister, so I found putting this on before that one a little redundant. It dispenses nicely, does on smoothly (don't need very much for coverage) and dries to matte quickly without making my skin feel tight. It really has no scent, and I didn't have any negative skin interactions, so it's perfect for those with sensitive skin. I just found that it didn't have any other benefits than any other serum or moisturizer, which is why I can't give it 5 stars.

I find flavored coffees to be pretty hit or miss, but this is definitely the best I've ever had. It reminds me of a french vanilla cappuccino powder product, with the good quality vanilla flavor, but with the definite taste of coffee. I think it benefits from a little bit of sweetener/sugar I don't think coffee-purists will like it because of the flavoring (my partner being one of them), but if you like flavored coffee and/or french vanilla, you'll love this product.

I was really disappointed in this product. I have had lots of breakouts lately, and was relieved to receive this product. Unfortunately, it did nothing. Although the patch comes off with some white gunk on it, the blemish looks no different after having it on all night. And after multiple uses I can definitely say it didn't speed up any healing process (possibly slowed it down by having it covered?). The only positive is that it prevented my from picking at the blemish, which I am prone to do. There are no medicinal ingredients, so I can't really expect much, but I was still disappointed.
Unfortunately, I cannot recommend the Might Patch due to lack of effectiveness.

Full disclosure: I cannot speak to the efficacy of this product. I only received a 2 day supply as a sample and I did not have any cold or flu symptoms during the trial period, which this product is supposed to provide relief of.
But they taste good. The taste and texture is exactly like a good soft candy. I'm truly not sure how different they are from candy as the second ingredient is cane sugar. Although not applicable to me, these gummies are free from a lot of allergens. I've tried a few similar products over time, and many have off-putting flavors that I can't stomach, so this is an improvement.
I wish I was able to try these gummies over a long period of time, especially if I was feeling unwell so that I can speak to how well they work.

I've been using a stove top kettle, so this Paderno kettle majorly upped my boiling water game!
Firstly I love the look of it. It is super chic. Although I don't typically go for stainless steel, you don't really touch the steel parts, except for the top which is easy to wipe finger prints off of. Speaking of which, I didn't find the handle got too warm to handle.
This thing is highly customizable, which I never knew was a possibility. I love that I can measure the water to pretty exact amounts (there are more markings than in the website photos), so I don't boil more water than I need which saves on time and power. I can also warm the to 4 preset temperatures, again saving time and money so I'm not making the water any hotter than I need (the box indicates which temp is best for which drinks). There's lots of lights and colors to indicate when it's plugged in, turned on, and up to temp.
I really have nothing negative to say about this kettle and would definitely recommend it.

This thing is powerful. Maybe too much vibration even at the low setting. It's a very basic vibrator, with a bit of a learning curve (thankfully it has some NSFW diagrams for use). One of the things I found confusing was that despite it's name. the 2 functions (both sides) cannot be used at the same time (I almost broke my brain trying to figure out how that would work). I do like that's it's waterproof and has a selection of settings.
Overall, this is an ok option if you're at the drugstore anyways and need this in a pinch (or for some reason you'd prefer buying this at Shoppers rather than at an adult toy store). But there are so many better options out there with more going on that I would suggest over this./

I don't really have any strong feelings about this gel moisturizer, even after using it daily for several weeks. It has a nice light scent, it has a slight shine/shimmer look but goes matte pretty quickly so it doesn't look greasy or oily. My skin feels smooth and nicely moist urized without feeling clogged. I didn't notice any change in skin tone or texture over the long term though, and that's why I can't give it a higher rating.

This is a really good intense body moisturizer. I found that the “bumpiest” skin I have was from scars or ingrown hairs, which this product didn't work to smooth (understandably), so I found I couldn't really say whether it works on “rough and bumpy” skin, per se. But on generally dry skin, especially my heels, it was amazing. It has a very thick texture and is a little tacky at first (that and the slight smell reminds me of a glue a bit), but it rubs in well and dries quickly while leaving skin feel really smooth right away. I was really impressed at how smooth my skin felt immediately after and how quickly it dried (don't have to avoid touching anything to my skin for a while). It's better than the other body intense moisturizers I've used.
I would definitely recommend this product, even if you're not sure you have “rough and bumpy” skin to treat.

NOMA Outdoor C6 Christmas Lights, 70 LED Lights, Warm White & Pure White

Overall, these are good quality string lights that don't get warm when on for many hours, and none were broken or burnt out. The lights start very close to the plug, which is great if you're going to attach many strings together. They way they were folded in the box makes quite a kink in the string, so unless you pull the string taut, there is a kinky vee pattern, which I didn't like. The length is enough to go around 1 front door, which seems a little small to me, but it easy to attach multiple strings together.
My main issue with these string lights is that I did not like the mix of warm white and pure white colors. I don't favor 1 white over another, but the mix wasn't working for me, but that is certainly just a preference thing.
