I have very dry skin on my body, and yet I've always had body acne, since I was a child. This Acne Banishing Body Spray is a wonderful example of how much skincare and body care improved since then. It's easy to use and works great. I love the nozzle that works upside down because it allows me to reach areas on my back that are trickier to reach normally. The products is a fine mist that sprays over a large area, it dries down quickly and I can easily moisturize over it. An active breakout I have over a large area was highly diminished after one use, within 24h. The acne are still there, but drying instead of angry and painful. Be sure to use this in a well ventilated area, though. It tends to linger in the area and I would definitely avoid breathing it in.

Oatally Awesome - Pineapple Coconut Pecan

This is an awesome oatmeal mix. I love that it has no added sugar, so I can sweeten it to taste and with my preferred sweetener (honey), as I don't like my oatmeal too sweet. The mix is packed with great ingredientss, it's not just a few pieces here and there, there's a lot of dried pineapple, coconut flakes, goji berries, sunflower, flax and pumpkin seeds, pecan pieces and hemp hearts. I love it even more that they dry the fruit themselves! This oatmeal blend is packed with fibre and protein to keep me full. That being said, I find the advertised contents on the bag a bit too misleading. There's 15g of fibre and 18g of protein per CUP, but that's actually quite a big serving for an adult, as the recommended serving is 1/2 cup. Even so, half a cup still has 9g of protein and 7.5g of fibre, which is great and definitely more than other brands I've tried.

I really like this mouthwash. It's easy to use, fresh without stinging and lasts for a long time. It's perfectly minty, but not overwhelming. My favourite use is in the afternoon, after lunch, to freshen up my mouth through the afternoon. One thing to note is that the cap is easy to open, so it's great for people with limited hand mobility. -

I've heard of imunoglukan and wanted to try it for a while for my 5 year old daughter who seems to pick up every virus at school, but never got around doing it, so I was really happy to be chosen for this campaign. We've been using it for almost 2 weeks, and she still hasn't gotten sick, although both my husband and I have a cold at the moment. So it seems like it's already working, but only time will tell. Luckily, for her age and weight we only need to use a small amount, since she's not the biggest fan of the taste. She doesn't outright refuse it, but definitely doesn't enjoy it. For some children it may be hard to use this product, as it needs to be taken in the morning on an empty stomach. Luckily, my daughter usually wake up a few hours before school and doesn't like to eat right away, so it works for us, but I can see how this could be tricky for lots of kids. We'll try to use up both bottles we received. and depending on the results we may or may not repurchase. -

This kit is great. I love that it already contains everything I may need - spackling of course, but also a putty knife, a fiber patch for holes and sandpaper. I already own all these additional things, since we do small repairs at home all the time, but it's nice to have it all in one kit, especially for people who are doing this once and don't need to own the tools, or for those doing it for the first time. The spackling is a bit thicker than I'm used to, but now that I used a few types, I have no preference over its thickness. This one works perfectly well. It's easy to apply and I love the pink colour indicator. It makes it easy to judge when to sand and paint over it, since I normally wait longer than recommended to make sure it's completely dry. The pink to white colour indicator makes this fool proof and great for those doing it for the first time. I need to note that the spackling in the jar also starts to turn white, which means it's drying, so I recommend working quickly and closing the jar as soon as possible. I didn't use the patch, since I don't have big holes to patch up right now, but it seems to be sturdy, and I love that it can be cut to size. The putty knife worked well with this spackling kit and the sandpaper has the perfect grit, although I noted small pieces of sand got stuck in the wall after sanding (barely noticeable). Most importantly, once dry and sanded down the area of the wall is perfectly smooth and ready to be painted. I will use this kit to patch up all my walls and prep them for painting!

This lip balm is wonderful. It has a soft, melting texture that feels very comfortable on my lips, without being too soft. The stick itself keeps its shape and doesn't melt in my purse, but glides easily over lips. It feels hydrating and makes my dry lips look healthy and nourished. This lip balm has no scent whatsoever. It's great for me to use on migraine days, since any scent can make my migraines worse, and it's a relief to have a lip balm I can still use for my dry lips on those days. This lip balm is not only unscented, but completely fragrance free, which is always the best option for those avoiding fragrance or for those with sensitive skin. I'll be buying this again! -

This lip balm is wonderful. It has a soft, melting texture that feels very comfortable on my lips, without being too soft. The stick itself keeps its shape and doesn't melt in my purse, but glides easily over lips. It feels hydrating and makes my dry lips look healthy and nourished. The almond scent is gentle and this would be a good choice for those that like scented products, but can't handle strong scents. -

We use Band-Aids a lot at home, and I always have a variety on hand, but these ones are so far the best I've tried. They're the type that seal really well all around the wound and truly keep it waterproof. I haven't had any water seep in, even when used on fingers, and I wash my hands a lot. That saves me from having to change the bandage every time, and reduces the waste. The hydrocolloid gel patch however, that's new to me and definitely the highlight of these bandages. The gel patch feels soothing and doesn't stick to the wound. I couldn't do a study to compare if the healing is any better, but they feel good, and that's enough for me. They're also flexible enough not to feel too tight on fingers. I will buy them again. -

I always like to try pimple patches to find which ones will work best for the type of pimples I get. Since getting bangs I always get them on my forehead, so this was a good time to try these Nexcare Brand Thin and Transparent Acne Patches. I like the little red applicators, because they definitely help apply the patches without touching the sticky side, however, I also find that they add unnecessary plastic to the environment. Yes, it's nicer to apply them this way, but I never found it too much of a nuisance to warrant the additional plastic.
I find that these patches stick OK, but as explained in the directions, the skin has to be absolutely clean and dry. If these is even a little bit of oiliness, the edges won't stick. Even so, somehow they do stay on, but I was making sure to apply them right after cleansing just in case.
I tried these patches on multiple different pimples in various spots on my face. The more stubborn ones on my forehead were completely unaffected, and the patches didn't pull out anything. They were most successful on my cheeks, where they pulled out and almost completely healed a few smaller pimples. Fro the few smaller pimples on my nose some puss was pulled out (the patches get white spots if this happens), but the pimples themselves didn't look much different. Overall, I'm not very satisfied by their performance.
