As I am getting older, and the kids are NOT making me feel any younger, I’m looking for ways to stay alert and enjoy a break for myself. Hatch Crafted Nitro Cold Brew coffee was fun to try. Though my coffee pallet is young, I’m happy to grow on an adventure to find coffees to suit my tastes and needs. First, they stand out with such cutely decorated cans, and second this is a product MADE IN CANADA!!
You can use is it “straight” - where you don’t shake the can, just open gently, pour, and sip and relax. But I like to live on the wild side and shook the can (shake until the can stiffens) – so note! it can be a little messy if you choose this route when opening and pouring, but overall, it wasn’t as scary as my face says. Like a strong beer, this is a strong cold brew. I tried it straight up, but I preferred it sweeter adding my own almond milk with ice. But with so many options available, you can get creative! I saw someone add a splash of simple syrup to theirs, so that is next on the order. Definitely a unique flavour, super bold coffee flavor with a bit of bitterness. But once spiced to your preferences, it’s smooth, refreshing, and gives that nice caffeine kick without feeling too heavy.

We’ve been super lucky to be able to test drive the NOMA 50 Pint Dehumidifier in white. It’s a versatile and efficient solution for managing indoor humidity, particularly in spaces up to 1,500 sq. ft. We have it on our main level, in our plant room (have it tucked away nicely in the corner), but would also use it in our basement as needed. It helps you remove excess moisture from the air in your home and is very customizable as per your needs, thanks to its high and low fan speeds and adjustable humidity settings. And fail safe - any malfunction or the bucket is full, it automatically shuts off to protect the unit which leaving us worry free. The 24-hour timer makes it simple to program when you want to turn off and on. The large LED screen and buttons make it very user friendly. The water tank with handle is easy to access and clean. Detachable and reusable filter with filter cleaning monitor means longevity and quality. It’s also very easy to move around on its wheels (even our 3-year-old can do it). Also, ENERGY STAR® Most Efficient certification ensures energy-conscious operation.
To sum it up – this dehumidifier's quiet performance, ease of use, and effectiveness in reducing moisture levels are stand out. It even has a smart feature by using the NOMA iQ App (which we already have for our Christmas lights, and some light bulbs), so we can control from our smartphone or tablet enhancing user experience.

Menstruation! Cycle! Normal! Let’s embolden our periods! Joni regular organic non-applicator tampons are made from 100% certified organic cotton wrapped in Natureflex biodegradable wrapper for compostability. Typically, I choose tampons with applicators vs. those without, however I was very happy with these being applicator free. Super absorbent and very effective. They are easy to insert by design and have an organic cotton string with a knot to ensure safe and easy tampon removal. I love how portable they are. It’s comforting knowing they are certified free from toxins and definitely a more sustainable option. A perfect choice if you are looking to make a more eco-conscious & positive personal wellness changes Also, joni is a proud Canadian Company AND uses 5% from all sales to support menstrual equity initiatives!! Look for these and other joni products on Well.ca, in-store at London Drugs, some Costco locations and Whole Foods in Canada.

I recently tried the OGX® Bond Protein Repair Shampoo, Conditioner, and Protein Repair Sealing Serum and they definitely lived up to the promises. If your hair is damaged, over-processed, or just in need of some TLC, these products are a solid choice. They all smell amazing! A very salon worthy scent that I very much enjoyed. It's fresh and clean, and it lingers subtly throughout the day. Used all together they make it easy to create a consistent hair care routine.
The Bond Protein Repair Sealing Serum is another great addition. This product is perfect for anyone looking to lock in moisture, add shine, and help repair damaged hair. The serum has a lightweight, non-greasy texture that glides smoothly through my hair, making it easy to apply without weighing it down. A little goes a long way, so I only need a small amount to get great results, which makes the bottle last longer. After applying the serum, my hair feels noticeably softer and more hydrated. It also adds a beautiful shine without making my hair look oily or flat. It’s been especially helpful with frizz control, keeping my hair smooth and manageable throughout the day. One thing worth noting, if your hair is fine or prone to greasiness, you might want to be cautious with the amount you apply, as it could make your hair feel a bit heavy if overused.

I recently tried the OGX® Bond Protein Repair Shampoo, Conditioner, and Protein Repair Sealing Serum and they definitely lived up to the promises. If your hair is damaged, over-processed, or just in need of some TLC, these products are a solid choice. They all smell amazing! A very salon worthy scent that I very much enjoyed. It's fresh and clean, and it lingers subtly throughout the day. Used all together they make it easy to create a consistent hair care routine.
I’m honestly impressed with how well the conditioner works. If you have damaged, dry, or over-processed hair, this conditioner is definitely worth checking out. First off, the formula is infused with a blend of bond-building proteins, which help to strengthen hair from the inside out. After just a few uses, I noticed a significant improvement in the overall health and texture of my hair. It felt softer, more manageable, and less prone to breakage.
The texture of the conditioner is creamy and thick, making it easy to apply and evenly distribute through the hair. When I rinse it out, my hair feels instantly smoother, and after drying, it has a nice shine that wasn’t there before. One of the things I love most is that it’s sulfate-free, so it’s gentle on the hair and doesn’t strip away moisture. If you’re looking to restore strength and shine to your hair, I highly recommend giving it a try!

The shampoo has a creamy consistency that lathers up nicely, giving a luxurious, rich foam without being overly harsh or drying. I love that it’s sulfate-free, making it gentle on my hair and scalp. After using it, I noticed my hair felt stronger, smoother, and less prone to breakage. It didn’t feel heavy or weighed down, but more revitalized and nourished. The shampoo also helps improve the texture of my hair, leaving it softer and more manageable.

An already well-known, trusted and go to brand for our household’s skin troubles, PanOxyl Acne Banishing Body Spray treats stubborn breakouts all over and helps to keep skin clear of new blackheads, whiteheads, and acne pimples. Plus, the formula contains skin-brightening Niacinamide and Vitamin C as well as soothing Witch Hazel and Aloe keeping your skin looking it’s all over best and leaves a soothing feeling on the skin. I found it easy to apply thanks to the 360-degree spray nozzle which allows you to rotate it in any direction for those hard-to-reach areas like your back. The leave-on formula dries quickly so that you can get on with your day. Be cautious where you are spraying as it is an aerosol and can come out strong. It is a very convenient way to add to your post-workout routine. Especially with the warm weather coming and less clothing to hide under, this spray has my skin looking its best and my confidence high!

Now when it comes to heat I am a NO PEPPA kinda girl so I perspired a little going into this mission. Stinging Hot Halifax Honey is infused with pickled chilies, a 2 out of 5 flames on the heat scale. I am so grateful for these opportunities to try products as I may have shyed away from ever trying this product based on heat factor alone.
It took our chicken nuggies to the next level 🤤 There was a nice kick but was not overly spicy leaving a subtle after taste of heat in your mouth. It lingers a bit, but not in an uncomfortable way or makes your nose sweat. It was such a nice switch to our regular honey.
Also it is dairy, but, soy and gluten free. I am excited to try it in some more cooking and snacking options.
Worth mentioning too that it's a 2 ingredient, clean-labeled product FULLY CANADIAN MADE!

Birch Baby nourishing baby lotion is a great product for our youngest, and would be for the whole family too. Gentle enough for him but strong ingredients for the rest of the fam.
It is fragrance free rubs in well really nourishing his skin. I've been sneaking some when I apply to our son and it keeps my winter dry skin nice and moisturized which is thanks to the added oat oil and aloe vera.
Great that it is hypoallergenic, dermatologist tested, chemist approved and certified all natural which is great for his sensitive skin, keeping him hydrated with trusted ingredients and EWG verified for littles health. He gets itchy spots and this has helped keep them at bay and his skin feels so soft and moisturized.
ALSO IT'S MADE IN CANADA!!
If you use the Yuka app like myself testing many products before we buy for those yuck ingredients, will also see that this gets a 100/100 rating!!
Also look for the cute little story time on the bottle also about foxes.

Whipped Cherry by Clean Reserve is a warm and sweet fragrance. I can't get enough! A faint hint of cherries meets creamy vanilla. It's smooth, sugary sweetness lingers all day. It's. Not overly powerful but strong enough to get people's attention. If I had to name the scent it would be vanilla almond cherry blossoms. Rolls on nice and handy to apply anywhere. Sweet desert in a bottle. Very decadent. Doesn't take a lot on to smell great. It's a beautiful scent and makes me happy wearing it.
CLEAN Reserve fragrance is as environmentally responsible as it is luxuriously indulgent. Using sustainable ingredients and clean formulations, these fragrances are created with the people and the planet in mind, and also feature eco-conscious packaging and formulas that put safety first. Smell good and safe for all.
Would definitely recommend! 5 happy nostrils out of 5!!
