I've been having this coffee in the afternoons for a few days, and I tried it in different ways. The coffee has a bold flavour, but it's not as strong as some other dark roasts I've tried and it's not bitter. It's also very easy to make. I like that I can customize it to suit my mood. It's great that the measurements can be easily adjusted for those that like their coffee stronger (or weaker, but I don't know anyone like that). -
CLEAN RESERVE H2EAU Golden Citrus

I love citrus perfumes and own a few. Somehow, this one is still different from all the others I use. I starts off very fresh and bright, but it's also a bit flowery and dries down earthy. I would actually prefer it even zestier, but it's nice to have some variety among the perfumes I'm using. I love that this smaller bottle is a rollerball and not a spray, so I can control the amount better. It's also easier to apply it to pulse points on my neck without spraying my whole neck and chest. The bottle doesn't leak. As someone with dry skin, I love that the perfume is water based and doesn't contain alcohol, which is so rare to find. I will explore their other fragrances in the future.

My daughter has eczema, and a lot of usual body care products can sting her dry skin, especially during flare-ups, even if they're for kids. This Aveeno baby eczema care moisturizing cream has a nice lightweight consistency that absorbs fast, like a lotion, but doesn't sting at all. I love that she can get dressed right away without feeling sticky. Using daily, this cream helps keep her dry skin nice and soft, and she doesn't seem to be as itchy. Bear in mind that this is not for flare-ups, though, but for dry, itchy skin that normally accompanies eczema. For us it works well and we'll be buying it again. -

I really liked this product as an SPF. It feels a bit lighter than other mineral SPFs I've tried, and blends quite well. It doesn't look white on my skin, due to it being very slightly tinted, and it doesn't feel heavy on my skin. Makeup goes over it really well. It somewhat evens out my skin, but I have other products that do this better. Unfortunately, it doesn't feel as a moisturizer at all, and if I don't use my usual skincare underneath it, my skin feels quite dry. For reference, I have dry/combo skin, so for someone with less dryness this may work, although I really don't think it would. So I can recommend it as a great SPF, but not as a moisturizer. -

I have very dry skin, and usually need thicker body creams in the winter. I find this lotion a bit too lightweight for me at the moment, but it will be great for the spring and summer, as I had so layer another product over it on my dryer areas, like legs. It's a great daily lotion, too, since it's not greasy and absorbs really fast. I found that I could get dressed within a few minutes of after applying it. It was thick enough to keep the dry-skin-itchiness at bay. The scent is a mix of rosemary and mandarin, and the rosemary dominates at first. It feels very relaxing and grounding during application, but this won't be for everyone. However, I find that the mandarin dominates after it sinks in. Both scents smell very natural and linger, but don't feel overwhelming.

I received this product for free, but all the opinions are my own and honest.
I love many Grown Alchemist products, and this one is not an exception. I have quite dry skin, this gentle, yet effective cleanser is just perfect for me. It foams, but not too much, which is not an issue for me, but it may seem wrong to some people and needs some getting used to. This doesn't take away from its cleaning power. It doesn't strip my skin, so it doesn't feel too tight pr itchy after showering. I LOVE the scent blend. I can actually smell all three flowers at different times, and I was particularly surprised at how strongly I can smell the chamomile, since that's usually a very gentle scent. However, I find that the rose dominates and slightly lingers on my skin, so if you're not into rose scents, this may not be for you. I on the other hand love it, since it smells very natural and doesn't affect my migraines.

My daughter LOVES Paw Patrol, and she loved this play set. The helicopter has a spinning blades and wheels, so it can run on the ground or fly in the sky, just like the one in the show. Skye fits in perfectly snug, and it's not hard to click in or take out. I like that her head turns for some posability. The size is good, so Skye won't get lost too easily, but the set doesn't take too much space, either. It's a nice addition to our Paw Patrol toys.

I get occasional pimples, especially around my period, and they're always red, angry and painful. I applied two Hero patches on such pimples, and wore them at home all day (instead of overnight). The patches stick on really well, and pull out lots of gunk. They don't clear the pimples completely, but that wasn't my expectation anyways. I'd say both of my pimples looked about 60% better. I also tried one on my nose, where I have white and blackheads, and it pulled out more stuff than I could even imagine was there. I think I prefer them for this, and will use more on other areas of my nose. Definitely recommended! -

The gummies are tasty, slightly sweet and quite tart, which is something I prefer. The don't have a gummy texture, they're quite soft and not chewy at all, which actually makes them more suitable for children, as they are recommended for adults and children 4 and over. However, the tart taste may discourage some children, while some may consider this candies and keep asking for more. However, they could be good for those children or adults that can't handle other forms of supplements. I personally don't like supplements for kids that look like candy. I did like that the gummies don't stick to my teeth. I can't talk about their efficacy after this sample size.

This syrup came just when we needed it. My daughter has what seemed like a mild cold that turned into a devastating cough that, as usual, gets worse at night. We tried different home remedies, but nothing worked, and she is too young for most cough syrups. So when Zarbee's arrived, we tried it immediately. In short, it works. It doesn't completely help, but it provides some relief, and considering that it doesn't have any real medication in it, we were happy with the results. Would I use a stronger cough syrup if there was one? Absolutely. But this one is great for milder coughs, younger children, or as a first thing to try before using medicated ones. -
