In terms of cleaning and moisturising, these bars are on par with the other Dove soaps. That’s to say that they leave skin squeaky clean and moisturised, but overall I prefer liquid or foam shower washes. That’s just a personal taste.
Another reason I marked this down was the scent. It has quite a perfumed ‘floral’ scent, but it’s incredibly strong. As in you can smell it through the pack and the packaging and the mailbox and down the street. If you have it in the house, you’ll smell it. It’s just way too strong for me and for that reason, I didn’t love this one. Overall, I like Dove, but prefer a different scent for the beauty bar.

Seventh Generation Glass Cleaner - Free & Clear

My main benchmark for this was does it work as well as my chemical-laden brand and that’s a big yes! In fact I found it took the toothpaste splashes off my bathroom mirror a lot easier than my old brand. I really liked it and think it’s a great natural option for anyone going that way.
It’s so easy to make a natural glass cleaner at home, but if you don’t like vinegar smell, you’re never going to stick with it. This gives a great totally scent-free option for those who don’t mind spending a little extra for something natural. It works amazingly well too!

Overall, I do like this shampoo. I have naturally wavy hair and found it made my waves much more curly and pronounced. For that reason, I’d recommend it more to people with wavy or curly hair, who want to enhance that aspect of their hair. I did find it also volumised my hair a little. It also gave my hair a really good amount of shine!
The one thing I didn’t like is coconut scent. Coconut is far from my favourite scent, so I wish they’d mention somewhere in the listing or on the product that it was coconut. It is a light Coconut scent, so I didn’t mind as much, but it’s definitely something you should know.

Reese Pieces Peanut Butter Bulk Candy
This is my husband’s favourite candy! There’s not much to say about them if you’ve eaten them before, but let’s pretend you had no idea what they are, (any Brit’s out there?!) Reese’s are a hard-shelled candy (like Smarties or M & M’s)... +
This is my husband’s favourite candy! There’s not much to say about them if you’ve eaten them before, but let’s pretend you had no idea what they are, (any Brit’s out there?!) Reese’s are a hard-shelled candy (like Smarties or M & M’s) with a firm, slightly soft peanut butter and sugar filling.
If you love peanut butter chocolate, you’re bound to love these. They are crazy sweet, peanut buttery goodness. If you’re not a fan of PB chocolate, you’ll probably want to avoid.
This bag is HUGE, like I really don’t judge, but I caution you not to eat this bag in one sitting, you might actually die. Definitely, don’t eat it within three rooms of a nut allergy sufferer. Otherwise, you’re good! I recommend dividing this up into small servings, hiding the remained of the bag well and repeat until finished!
Bon Appetit!

Lysol wipes are my go-to brand for cleaning the bathroom and I usually use the cylinder pack, but these are good for on the go! It’s not just the pack that’s different here. I found the wipe to be smaller and much thinner. That might be a negative, but there’s another design change that I really liked here and it kind of cancels those negatives out for me. The wipe now has some little circle dents in it. At first, I wasn’t sure about these, but I did find that they gave it a little extra scrubbing power compared to normal and also ‘caught’ hairs and debris easier than the flat wipes.
I also have to praise them for the packaging closure. By now, you might know that one of my pet-hates is when a packaging doesn’t close well and dries out. Well, since these have the proper plastic top closure, the wipes don’t dry out and can be opened and closed easily until the pack is done. The wipes also come out easily and don’t take up too much room, the top always closes no matter what. It’s just well-designed.
The smell is a fresh lemon and lime and it smells just as described! I do love a citrus scent for a cleaning product, so I’m happy with that as well. I would buy these again. Value is good, this is a pack of 4, each with 80 wipes, so it currently comes out at about 6cents per wipe. (current price at time of writing 19.99)

I found this expensive for what it is, with a cute design and an ok functionality. I actually prefer to use this to rest my hand on, as opposed to my arm, but it works for both. The biggest issue when it comes to functionality is the lack of non-slip pads on the bottom. It shows them in the picture, but the model I received doesn’t have them. The silicone mat can be used to prevent it slipping, but I prefer to use it in a small space (at my desk when doing my nails) and didn’t have room to use the mat.
As a result the hand rest would slip around occasionally, not something you want when doing your nails. It’s an easy fix, but at the current price of 17.99, I wouldn’t be happy with having to DIY this rest.
It’s a super lightweight plastic with some flexibility and I’m not 100 percent sure it would hold up overtime. It doesn’t look expensive or super nice, it looks cheap and cute, ideal for a teenager or the pink-obsessed, but probably not right for most grown women.
Overall, it was comfortable on the arm and I liked to use it to raise my hand higher, but the lack of non-slip pads is annoying and the quality is quite low for the cost.

I really prefer natural products for my underarms and lately have been looking for a good one, I so wanted to love this. However, I really, really hated it. Immediately upon first use the issue was the texture, quickly followed by smell.
The texture is soooo gritty. I don’t have particularly sensitive underarms, but I found this so rough on them that it was uncomfortable to use. I think men with hairy armpits (or ladies, sure) wouldn’t be bothered by this, but for my bare pits it was not comfortable at all.
That brings me to the smell. It was super sweet. Like ‘fake baby powder’ smell sweet. The smell is natural (I think), but it’s just so overpoweringly cloying and sweet that it smells like an awful perfume. I do have a strong nose, but it was just far too much.

I wouldn’t recommend this for normal or oily hair simply because it’s so intense that it can leave hair feeling kind of weird and looking a bit greasy (even though it’s actually not). That being said, since it’s recommended for damaged or dry hair, most people will understand that it’s not something you use if your hair is fine and the effects will last a bit past the initial wash.
I’m sure some folks are wondering if there is enough in here for long thick hair and the answer is yes! I have short hair and there was a ton, when fully emptied, the mask contains enough for super long, thick hair (which I used to have) and shorter hair could get multiple uses if they are willing to fold the bag over and clip it shut.
It made my hair super hydrated, but it felt strange and looked greasy afterwards very quickly, probably because my hair is not super dry or damaged. The consistency I didn’t enjoy. It felt and looked like cream cheese and had a weird smell. It also made the bathtub so slippery I was afraid to fall, so take care when using this.
Overall, it definitely hydrates hair, but is perhaps best for those with very dry, damaged hair and all hair types should be careful to avoid a fall when using it!

Like the ‘pod’ version of this detergent, I loved it. I’m not sensitive to scents, but I do have a strong sense of smell and find many things are overscented. It’s especially a pain with laundry detergent, as I sleep with the covers up at my nose and any strong smell annoys me when trying to sleep. So I love, love, love that this is totally scentless.
Many ‘scent-free’ products have a weird smell (presumably from the ingredients), but this leaves your clothes and blankets smelling like absolutely nothing, something I really enjoy. I don’t consider us a ‘stain-heavy’ household and we haven’t had any problems with stains left behind while using this. It seems to be as good as my usual brand!

If you’re looking for a lubricant that feels more natural, this is definitely the one. My main problems with lubes so far has been stickiness or that they absorb too quickly, this one shares none of those issues. In terms of feel and texture it feels a lot like the natural lubrication of a woman.
The benefit of this is it’s really long-lasting, but it can also be a con, depending on what you’re looking for. It’s definitely harder to wipe up or wash off (like the real thing), so that might not be ideal for everybody. However, I thought it was great. No noticeable smell, lasts long and feels natural, I’d definitely use it again!
