Keeping Sunburn At Bay With Cicaplast Balm B5 UV by LA Roche-Posay

 Disclaimer: I received the following product(s) in exchange for my honest review. All opinions my own. 

   With Summer coming, I need a good sunscreen to keep my skin protected! I’ve been testing Cicaplast Balm B5 UV by La Roche-Posay and so far, this sun lotion seems like its’s a great product! It's made with Shea Butter, Vitamin B5, Madecassoside (an anti-inflammatory + helps protect skins barrier), Tribioma (to maintain skins pH levels), and La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water. 

   This lotion absorbs into my facial skin easily and doesn’t leave behind any greasy residue. It has a very faint sunscreen scent thats fades away quickly. I have been applying this product to my face and it seems that it has been protecting me from sunburn. It hasn’t caused any breakouts or issues, which is definitely a plus cuz many other sunscreens do. This lotion seems to be doing it's job, I will continue to use it and hope for the best results!

Comparing Meats from Butcher Box and Local Grocery Stores

 

   Is Butcher Box really that great? Is it really what people say, that the quality of meat just tastes better? Well we put that thought to the test for you. Of course everyones taste buds are different, but here is what we found when we put our thoughts on trial, via steak and chicken. 

   We got Top Sirloin Steaks from Butcher Box and two local grocery stores, seasoned and cooked them all the same, without sauce, to fully get the taste of each. We did this same process with Chicken Breast. After the meats were done cooking, we did a blind taste test of each, ranking in order each one we liked. As you can see in the photos, the first thing you probably notice is the difference in size of meats. Butcher Box definitely gives you the smaller size of meat, compared to the others, and their cost is higher depending on what nearby deals you can find at your local grocery stores....but the taste is a noticeable difference. Butcher Box meat has a cleaner more natural taste, as the other meats tasted more gamey. I'm sure this is due to the way the meat is processed in each location. You can read about Butcher Box Sourcing here, where they talk about their care and process for each animal, before processing. I like that they are open and give you detail of the way they do things, so you can feel better about what you're getting. 

   Funny enough, during this process, we actually found that our local grocery stores chicken has near the same taste and quality to Butcher Box. This is great because it saves us money, but now we can stock up on Butcher Box Beef for the best quality. We have also tried their Salmon and Cod, which are by far the best seafood I've had, and their Bacon, which has the perfect ratio of flavor and crunch! So in the end, Butcher Box does seem to win the competition of good meats, but Chicken is easily sway-able, unlike their steak which we much more prefer. If you would like to try your very own Butcher Box meats, I definitely recommend giving it a shot! You can get $50 OFF your first Box, when you sign up through my link below.
