You either love or hate tonic water, and I really love it. I enjoy the bitter taste without too much sweetness, and find it quite refreshing. I don't really like the regular Canada Dry tonic water, and prefer a different brand, but I'm so happy that I got to try this premium one. It's the best tonic water I've ever had. I'm serious! I also love that it comes in glass bottles, and there is no label, everything is printer on the bottle. The minimal design and the fantastic taste are the reasons I will continue buying it, although the price is... well, premium :)

I normally love hibiscus tea, so this blend of hibiscus and berries is a nice twist on a familiar taste. The berries added a touch of sweetness to an otherwise tart tea, but I actually add a few drops of lemon juice because I like how refreshing tart teas can be. This tea is tasty warm, but even better as iced tea. The quality of whole leaves and fruits is absolutely noticeable in the taste, and I like that the little pyramids are biodegradable. I only don't like the brand name, but that's a cultural/religious thing.

I love this moisturizer more than I thought I would. It seems very basic, but it's just perfect for my needs. It has a light, creamy texture that sinks right into my skin, instantly transforming it from parched to smooth and silky. There is no shine, no greasy feeling. I see it as perfect for the spring, great in the summer as a night cream, or in the fall and winter for layering. The scent is nice, but not overwhelming. I can recommend it for pretty much any skin type.

Green Beaver NaturaDri™ Antiperspirant, Fresh Verve

I got SO EXCITED to learn that this is a natural antiperspirant, and not just a deodorant. I didn't even know such a thing existed. It turns out, there is a reason - it just doesn't work. At least not for me. And I really wanted it to work. I sweat a lot, and while applying a natural deodorant 2-3 times daily usually keeps me smelling fresh, it doesn't help with the sweat. This antiperspirant does the opposite. I noticed it did decrease the amount of sweat somewhat (not completely), however, after about 2-3 h of using it I stink. I tried everything - reapplying, washing the area then reapplying, applying after a shower, the same always happens. After about a week of this I had to ditch it and went back to my deodorant. Better sweaty than stinky, am I right?

I am in love with this shampoo, in so many ways. First of all, it comes in an orange bottle, but the shampoo itself is clear. Because, we don't really need our shampoo dyed, right? I'm so happy about this. The scent is fruity and smells natural, I believe it is papaya scent (I haven't eaten a papaya for a while, so can't be sure). It's tropical, that's 100% true. It doesn't linger much in my hair after washing it, though. A small amount of shampoo lathers like crazy, because it does contain SLS (info for those that are trying to avoid it). However, I found it gentle and it doesn't strip my hair. No squeaky clean feeling. This is actually better for the hair. Other than that, it's quite a basic shampoo, but more naturally derived than most drugstore/grocery store shampoos.

Neutrogena Bright Boost Moisturizer SPF 30

I am so used to using physical sunscreens, I completely forgot how lightweight chemical ones can be, and this one is definitely that. It's thin, hydrating and easy to rub in. It protects from sun perfectly (I don't even get flushed). It doesn't feel sticky or heavy on the skin. I really like it, but the bottle is a bit stiff and on the smaller side, so it'll be hard to squeeze it out completely. -

This is a very interesting serum. I apply 5 drops morning and evening, and it sinks into the skin really fast. It has a milky look to it, but it's not very hydrating. However, it makes my skin very soft, almost velvety to the touch. 5 drops is exactly what I need, and that's more than what I used with other serums, so I can tell this one will get used up faster. It's not too rich, so it's easy to layer with other serums in my skincare routine. -

I have combination skin, and as soon as I saw that this was a gel-cream texture I knew what would happen. This cream is fantastic for my T-zone - it sinks in immediately, there is no oil in it, and it doesn't make my skin shiny. However, when it comes to my dry cheeks, it falls short. It's just not enough, even over the serum. However, I expected this, so I would only recommend it if you don't have very dry skin or skin areas. For me, this will be a fantastic summer time cream, with its lighter, bouncy texture and fruity scent. -

I really really love this face polish. The scrubbing particles are very fine, so even if I scrub vigorously it doesn't strip or damage my skin, yet it completely removes any dead and dry skin. It's very easy to rinse off. The AHAs help with the exfoliation, and the amount is perfect - I didn't experience any tingling or redness. I do have to moisturize after using it, but for me that is true for any face wash/scrub/polish. I can't recommend this product enough. -

I am a big fan of Scmidt's deodorants, and this one is new to me. I like that it's made for sensitive skin, which basically means it has no baking soda that a big number of natural deodorants contain. This is particularly important after shaving - my skin gets easily irritated from shaving, and I always avoid baking soda in deodorants for this reason. This one didn't cause any irritation. I like the scent - it's natural and earthy, but not too heavy. It's on the thin line between a unisex and a feminine fragrance, but I can see it being used by men, especially the ones that don't like the typical men's deodorants. I sweat a lot (hormonal sweats that can get stinky, sorry for tmi), so for me this deodorant is effective for 3-4 hours before I need to rinse off and reapply, which is comparable to other high quality natural deodorants. Rinsing off is a very important step - I find that natural deodorants can't be reapplied over sweaty skin, so I always wash the area with soap before reapplying (sorry, again tmi maybe?). From my experience with deodorants, I can definitely recommend this one.
The only thing that irritates me is the hemp seed oil. They literally had to add to the label that the product contains no cbd or thc. So was it really necessary to even use hemp seed oil (except because it's so popular these days)?
