This does contain corn/grain, so while it’s not the best to get if your cat has an allergy or sensitivity, for regular cats it contains everything they need. Our three cats have really loved the other Hill’s foods they got and since we started them on this new one, we haven’t noticed any problems. They still have shiny coats, regular cat breath (though improved from their cheaper food) and seem happy to eat as much as they can.
Since all of our cats have different body types (one mid-weight, one obese and currently losing and one really skinny one) this food seems ideal for them. I like that the ‘zip-lock’ closure is the new-fangled type that closes way better than actual zipper type closures, meaning you don’t have to worry about freshness, or it spilling.
If our cats are happy with this, I’m happy and they love this one as much as the other! I also like that meat is high up in the ingredient list.

Didn’t think I would like this much at first as the floral scent is kind of cloying, but thankfully once on the scent becomes very mild. Despite being super subtle on, it does cover any less pleasant smells and lasts easily the whole day (as always with 48 hours, they last about 24, but there’s no need for more than that).
I would buy this again, but probably in a different smell, I wasn’t a huge fan of the floral, but you pretty much expect that kind of scent from the description.

Really impressed with this. It works as well as my non-natural brand with one very important (to me, at least) difference. No scent. As in, you wash your clothes with this and it comes out smelling like NOTHING. It’s pretty cool and makes you realise how much you actually enjoy it. I frequently have trouble with products being over-scented, especially when it comes to washing my bedclothes. Even a pleasant scent can leave me struggling to sleep because it’s all up in my nose. So I was really appreciative that this left my stuff smelling clean, but with literally no smell.
Other than that, it did not have any issues tackling my usual stains. I’ve also had issues in the past with ‘pod’ style laundry detergent not dissolving properly and staining my clothes. Since this is white coloured, no problems with that and it also dissolved well every time, even in heavy loads.
I think this is a great option for those willing to pay extra for a good, natural clean that doesn’t leave scent behind.

Nexxus products have been hit or miss for me in the past, but I did like this one. As someone who has more grey/silver/white hair than brown at the moment, I often use blonde shampoos and conditioners when I feel like bringing out my white more. I found that toning shampoos like this one not only make my grey/white stand out more, but they make it more on the white side of the spectrum and tone out the dirtier/blonder strands more. The Blonde Assure had this effect as well.
If you have mixed hair and are using it, just be aware it will make the ‘aged’ parts or ‘blonde’ parts stand out more against your other colour. I like this effect, but not all will. Other than that, it left my hair really nice and shiny. The only negative is it also left my short hair really fuzzy. It’s fine if I use it with a heavy conditioner, but I’d rather it didn’t leave my hair fuzzy, obviously.
It has a very strong, perfumed scent that isn’t unpleasant, but will definitely bother those with sensitive noses!

Skintimate Scented 3 Blade Disposable Razor For Women - Coconut Delight

Firstly let me say, scented razors are absolutely a scam. A scam I’m sure women pay more for, on top of the ‘pink’ tax levied in female razors. One, why would you need razors to be scented when you use shaving foam/gel with them and two, these really didn’t smell at all once I was shaving with them.
Here’s the thing though; it’s a pretty decent razor. It’s certainly comparable to other Razors with 3 blades, better than some of them. My experience with it is that it didn’t shave as well as a four or more blade razor, but still did a pretty good job.
I would definitely buy it, just don’t buy it because of the ridiculous scent.

I did like this conditioner a lot. I used it alongside a shampoo which has a tendency to make my hair fuzzy and it really calmed that down. After using this (compared to the shampoo alone) my hair was noticeably much softer to the touch, had a lot less fuzz and also had a nice shine to it. It didn’t make my hair greasy faster as some conditioners are wont to do.
The texture of the conditioner itself is quite light and doesn’t feel thick and greasy like some conditioners. It rinses out easily and quickly. The smell is quite strong and initially very pleasant, almost like a candy smell, but when you rub it between your hands it gets the standard conditioner ‘chemical’ smell. Still, it doesn’t leave a weird scent on your hair and I was happy with the effect it had!

I was both impressed and surprised that this natural wood cleaner works as well as my own brand. I personally prefer a wood ‘polish’, but the great thing about this cleaner is that it’s basically multi-purpose. While it’s listed for wood, it can be used on so many different kinds of surfaces and cleans them just as well. That means in a pinch, you can use it for most types of cleaning. For those who need a natural product, this is a good one.
I did remove a star for scent. It’s not that it’s bad, but when I’m promised ‘Lemon Garden’ I want it to be pretty lemony. I found this scent was weak and didn’t really smell like lemon. It could be that natural lemon scent is not quite the same as the fake stuff we smell a lot (duh), but I really missed the zesty lemon scent and wished it had that smell.
Overall, though, it’s a great cleaner for both wood and other areas.

This Taotronics humidifier is great and it’s ideal for anyone who wants a large, simple humidifier that does one thing well. Basically, it lasts a lot longer than smaller humidifiers. Running it on low, the water it can hold, easily lasts around 3-4 days. On med-high a little shorter, from 2-3 days. That means less refilling. There is a downside to this in that the tank is pretty heavy when full, but one neat feature Taotronics has that my other large humidifier doesn’t, is a handle. As someone chronically ill and pretty weak, I really appreciate the carrying handle as it makes it easier to transport from sink to base.
I also think it’s pretty cool that it has such a discreet look. It’s all white and simplistic looking, like any normal household product. At first I was worried I couldn’t check the water level, but there’s a transparent strip on the side that works great for seeing how full it is.
My one small complaint is that there’s a big yellow warning sticker telling you not to use oil. Not a big deal, just tear it off, right? Wrong. It sticks like the dickens and once removed leaves a big ugly sticky patch. I can easily use Goo-B-Gone on it, but I would love to see Taotronics use an adhesive that allows for mess-free peeling of the sticker in future. It’s a tiny complaint, but it does annoy me a little!
This is probably one of the quietest humidifiers I’ve used, in terms of mist noise, it’s basically undetectable. However, like all humidifiers (but especially the style that dispenses water downwards from a tank, like this) it does make a bit of a bubbling/glugging noise when sending water down. That could definitely bother some, but I’ve yet to find one that doesn’t make that noise. The mist output is turnable, but does shoot straight up so it's not firing out at your furniture as badly.
Another really neat feature is that the cleaning brush has its own place inside the base, so you won’t lose it. Genius!
The mist it gives out is really cool (as in cold), it doesn’t need a filter and it works great! On top of that the large tank gives me more time without refilling; what more could I ask for?!

Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Eye Cream

My skin tends to do very well with Retinol, so it’s important to make sure you are not sensitive to this ingredient, if you plan to buy. I’ve never had problems with it. This cream promises results in just a week, but to be perfectly honest (which I always am), I didn’t see those promised results. I always take before and after pics to make sure the camera is confirming what my eyes are seeing (sometimes it doesn’t), but I didn’t really notice any change and the camera didn’t either. It’s possible some very small lines directly under the eye were affected, but I don’t feel there were ‘visible’ changes in my week’s use.
With all that being said, it’s not unpleasant to use. The cream absorbs easy, a little goes a long way and it’s not terrible to use. It could very well be that it would take longer than a week to show results, but that’s just not the claim they’re making. I didn’t love the smell (kind of a bitter treacle smell), but it’s not strong at all and is barely noticeable unless you stick it up to your nose.
Overall, I didn’t see results, but it wasn’t unpleasant to use so I’d consider giving it a longer trial in the future.

I’ve never been a big fan of serums and while I’m not sure this one will change my mind, I do think my skin looked more glowy and a tad fresher while using it. It’s pretty subjective, that is to say I didn’t see any major improvements after a week’s use. However, I did enjoy using it, especially compared to other serums.
I find most serums are quite thick, sticky or unpleasant in some way. This is a pretty watery serum, almost more like a gel and that suits me just fine. I think the little balls inside give it a cool look that always makes me smile (as weird as that is). A small amount of this serum spreads well, but not as well as other serums I’ve used. You don’t need a ton, but it’s less spreadable because it absorbs crazy quick, so as long as you are fast at putting it on, you can get away with using less.
I do really love that it absorbs within about a minute. On top of that the scent is nice and fresh, a little strong, but overall good. It’s pretty painless to add this to my beauty routine and I saw some definite improvements, but nothing major. I imagine over a longer period of time, there’d be more changes.
