Lavera - Re-Energizing Sleeping Cream

This is a night cream with organic almond oil, grape, and olive oil. It also has hyaluronic acid, selected saccharides, and vitamin E.

It is free from silicones, paraffins, phthalates, microplastic beads, mineral oil, GMO products, synthetic fragrances, colors, and preservatives.

It is a nice, thick cream that absorbs well.
A little bit of this goes a long way, so it's really good value.

It leaves my skin looking plump and happy the next morning. 
I love it!

Price: 4/5 ($15.63 for 50mL)
Scent: 2/5 (A coconut like scent that I'm personally not a fan of.)
Effectiveness: 5/5

Doppelherz - Magen-Gel (Antacid gel)

This is a calcium carbonate gel which you take for relief from heart burn/ acid reflux.

When I do occasionally get reflux, I prefer gels to tablets as I feel they give a longer lasting effect.

This gel is not really a gel, more runny. 
It has a mild taste, like a mix between peppermint and marshmallow.

I only need half of the 10mL dose normally, so the doses are reasonable. If I had bad reflux I may use the whole thing.

After using it, the discomfort was gone. 

Because of the high price for this, I'm glad reflux is only a rare occurrence for me!

Price: 1.5/5 ($11.04 for 20 x 10mL) 
Taste: 4/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

Schaebens - Omega-3 Premium

These are small omega 3 capsules with omega 3, EPA, DHA, and vitamin E.
The small size makes them very easy to take.
They also have no scent, which is nice.

Price: 5/5 ($9.44 for 90 capsules)
Scent: 2.5/5 (no scent)

Nu'trir - Collagen Boosting Peptide Serum

This serum is really nice; its a good consistency, absorbs really well, and isn't sticky.
It doesn't have any parabens, petrolatum (petroleum jelly), SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate), mineral oils, sulphates, silicones, phthalates, PEG's (Polyethylene glycols), petrochemicals, artificial colours, or fragrances. 
It has grapeseed, olive, and rosemany oils.

The scent is like soft lemonade with herbs, it's really nice.

The rose gold pump on it looks really good, the packaging is nice.

After using it for a while, my skin is nice.
It would be great paired with a moisturiser as well over the top.
It is non-irritating.

It does have a bit of a yellow tint which you can see on the skin, but if you use it at night it is fine.
The colour isn't a stain that stays on the skin.

It doesn't spread to well on the skin, so you use a bit each time. 
The fact you get so little in a bottle doesn't feel great.

Price: 3/5 ($34.95 for 15mL)
Scent: 5/5
Effectiveness: 3/5 (because of small amount actually in the bottle and how much you have to use)

Multinorm - Vitamin D3 Tabletten 

These are mini tablets of 1600 I.E. of vitamin D3.
Because they are mini tablets they are very easy to take.

The packaging is a little plastic click dispenser. While it is very convenient, it can't be refilled and feels like a bit of a waste of plastic.


Price: 5/5 ($4.18 for 60 mini tablets)
Scent: 2.5/5 (no scent)
Effectiveness: 5/5

Art Break! - Teddy Bear Piñata

So for this piñata I used two balloons, one for the head and one for the body.
I used parts of an egg carton to make the legs, ears, and nose.

For the glue it is just water, flour, and a little salt to stop any mold from growing... and Lil ate some :/

The paper can be newspaper, scrap paper, pages from a book no one should ever read, etc.

First bits of paper placed.

Excuse my little container of supplements.

Then a layer of newspaper. The newspaper is so much nicer to work with (stupid shitty book can't even craft good).

I added a layer of yellow tissue paper to help hide some of the darkness of the newspaper.

I cut a door in the back to remove the balloons. This is where we will put our sweets/surprises.

On the paws and in the ears, I painted it bright yellow.

Starting with the legs and ears, the frayed tissue paper was added.

I added black eyes and a brown heart nose.

I also added a ribbon around its neck.
All done!

Verdict: They loved it and called it 'Sunshine'. :D
