TRUBAR Protein Bar Smother Fudger Peanut Butter

18/01/2025

I would rather eat "real" food than a bar, but sometimes these are helpful to have on hand. I appreciate the 13 grams of fiber and 12 grams of protein. I really don't like the texture of these types of bars because they stick to your teeth when you're eating them. At first bite, I didn't like these but they grew on me. They are probably better tasting than some of the other bars I have had, but if you want something truly tasty, pick something else.


Curology Hydro+ Daily Moisturizer SPF 30

10/01/2025

I like the feel of this Curology Hydro+ Daily Moisturizer and Broad Spectrum SPF 30. It goes on smoothly and dries pretty quickly. It feels more like a moisturizer than a sunscreen. It goes great with makeup. I had not heard of this brand before but will now be on the lookout for their products.


Dirt Devil 4-in-1 Cordless Rechargeable Multi-Surface Turbo Power Stick Vacuum EV2420RT

06/01/2025

I have been wanting a stick vac to clean up kitty litter, so I was excited to receive Dirt Devil 4-in1 Stick Vac. There are 2 different power modes, but I found that the turbo mode was most effective. That only gives you about 10 minutes of run time between charges. It picked up litter ok, but only after going over it a couple of times with the stick vac. The handheld was even less effective. I did like the hand held for getting cat hair off the upholstery. You can use the hand held attachments on the stick vac and make it a pole vac. This is helpful for hard to reach places. I appreciate the lights on the stick vac and the fact that the head swivels. This makes it easier to get the job done. Although I wish this was more powerful, it still works pretty well for most things.


Dirt Devil Quick Clean Upright Bagless Vacuum Cleaner

28/00/2025

I have thoughtfully tested this Dirt Devil Quick Clean Upright Bagless Vacuum Cleaner and have found some things that could be improved upon. First off, the vacuum does a decent job of cleaning the floors. I have used this on hardwood, tile and carpeted floors, and felt that the vacuum picked up the visible dirt pretty well. There are a few things that could definitely be improved upon. First off, the cord is quite short, about 1/2 the length of my current vacuum. This might not seem like a big deal but you are spending more time unplugging and plugging in more than you are vacuuming. I also miss having a light at the front of the vacuum. This makes it much more likely that you will vacuum something you don't want to vacuum up. I also missed having a vacuum that swivels. It makes it much harder to get under the cabinets and along the walls. It only comes with one attachment and a pretty short suction hose, which makes cleaning up high pretty inconvenient.


Neutrogena® Rapid Wrinkle Repair Retinol Pro+ Power Serum

07/00/2025

I like using serum because it has helped me with the dark spots on my forehead. I like that Neutrogena Retinol PRO+ Power Serum is a serum and not a lotion/cream. I feel it spreads easily when in a serum form. I had no sensitivity while using this product. It is suitable for daily use but I use it every other day. The only thing I would improve is the dropper. I found that there was always a spill on the bottle after use. Because retinol is fairly expensive, I don't want to lose any. With an improved dropper, I would give this 5 stars.


Barilla Pesto Creamy Tomato Sauce

31/11/2024

After receiving my Barilla Pesto Creamy Tomato Sauce, I decided to see if the Barilla website had any recipes to use the sauce with. I found Barilla Creamy Tomato Pesto Pasta with Chicken as the only recipe they had. That was okay because I was thinking of making something like that. The sauce has a great flavor that my whole family liked. One 6.5 ounce bottle worked great with 16 ounces of pasta and a little additional cooking water to thin the sauce. The sauce tasted slightly sweet but when added to the pasta, the sweetness was very mellow. If you are looking to add a different tasting tomato based sauce to your cooking, the Barilla Pesto Creamy Tomato Sauce is a great choice.


Colgate Minecraft Toothpaste

21/10/2024

My son really likes this Colgate Minecraft Bubblefruit toothpaste. He likes the flavor of the toothpaste and the greenish color. He finds the tube easy to use and the toothpaste easy to apply to his toothbrush. The Minecraft characters are also a favorite of his, so it's fun to see them on a product he will use anyway. We will be buying this toothpaste again.


Rapid Wrinkle Repair® Retinol Moisturizer Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 30

25/09/2024

I am not new to retinol but this is the first product I have used that also includes a sunscreen. The retinol I have used in the past was applied in the evening because it does make your skin sensitive to the sun. This is a very lightweight product that can be used on skin daily. It blended right in to my skin and didn't feel heavy at all. I didn't have any skin discomfort from the retinol. I recommend this to anyone looking for retinol with sunscreen built in.


Irish Spring Aloe Mist Bar Soap

03/09/2024

I really like the scent of this Irish Spring Aloe Mist bar soap. It makes my whole bathroom smell nice. It feels like a scent for men and women. The bar produces a nice lather and my skin feels moisturized afterwards. I like that this comes in a three pack. The curved design of the bar fits nicely in my hands and it feels easier to hold.


Scunci Kids - 450pcs polyband in pouch

30/05/2024

My daughter has always had thick hair so I never bought these tiny hair elastics when she was young. She wanted me to try braiding a tiny braid in her hair and these Scunci elastics are perfect for this sort of thing. I like the colors in the package: clear, black, light pink and a purple pink. They come in a bag to keep them all together, which is very useful. They stretch well without breaking. I have a feeling we will use these fir many fun hairstyles in the future.


Pretzilla Soft Pretzel Bread Bites with Marinara Cup and Parmesan Cheese Packet

28/05/2024

I have to say these Pretzilla pretzel bites with marinara sauce were quite the disappointment for me. What I liked about them is how easy they are to prepare. You melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a bowl and toss the pretzel bites in, coat them in the butter, and add the included parmesan cheese. It takes about 15 seconds to heat up the included marinara cup. What I didn't like about them was the texture is really soft, almost like eating a dough ball. The texture is terrible and the flavor isn't very good either. My kids who like pretzels didn't like these. The marinara sauce is pretty good and I liked how well the parmesan cheese stayed on the pretzel bites. But on taste alone, this just isn't very good.


Habit Women’s Multi Supplement

28/04/2024

Habit dietary supplements are a new brand for me. On first glance I like the bottle and that it contains 23 vitamins and minerals important for women's health and wellness. I generally prefer tablets over capsules but these are easy to swallow. I did notice an iron like aftertaste every time I took one of these capsules. The instructions are for one capsule a day so a bottle lasts about two months. I felt that some of the daily values could have been increased as they are not as high as other brands I've tried. I also had a problem with the square bottle cap. It was either hard to get off or way too easy, as in a child could easily open this. Although the square shape is visually appealing, a round top would be more practical and safer. All in all, this is a good women specific multi vitamin.


H2-Whoa! Hydrating 3-In-1 Scalp Serum

28/03/2024

I am always on the lookout for a good hydrating scalp product because I live in a very dry climate and my scalp feels it. Eva-nyc H2-Whoa! 3-in-1 Scalp Serum helps hydrate my scalp. It is easy to use with a eye-dropper. The serum has a nice scent to it. Just drop on the serum and rub into your scalp, then style as usual. This can be used on freshly washed hair or in between washes. I would recommend this scalp serum to anyone lookind for help with a dry scalp.


Softsoap Body Wash Pacific Sunset

21/02/2024

I enjoy Softsoap body wash, so I was excited to try the new to me scent Pacific Sunset. This is a coconut and lime scent, which happens to be one of my favorite. It is very moisturizing and has a great lather. I really enjoy everything about and highly recommend it!


Hill’s Science Diet Adult 7+ Senior Vitality Chicken & Rice Recipe Dry Dog Food

25/01/2024

My dog really likes this dog food. He gets so excited when it is time to eat. I like that chicken is the first ingredient and there is no chicken by-product meal. The dog food contains added vitamins, minerals and amino acids that are important for a senior dog. The side of the bag contains a chart so you know exactly how much to feed your dog. My dog did not have any digestive issues while transitioning to Hill's Science Diet Adult 7+ Senior Vitality Chicken & Rice Recipe Dog Food. The only thing I wished was that it came in larger bags. I recommend this dog food to anyone looking for a high quality dog food.
