I was selected to try the new Ferrero Rocher Hazelnut Chocolate Squares, thanks to @butterly.
They come in three flavors; milk, dark, and white chocolate. The chocolate was so creamy and soft. I loved the crunchy texture of the crispies. I don't normally like nuts in my food, but I couldn't even taste the hazelnuts.
Of the three flavors, the milk chocolate was my favorite. I found the dark chocolate was a bit too sweet for me. I would definitely buy these again in the future.

I was given the opportunity to try the new @daiyafoods Daiya Dairy-Free Thin and Crispy Personal Pizza for free thanks to @thisisbutterly. I chose to try the Margherita flavor.
I've never thought to make a pizza in the air fryer before. This delicious pizza was ready to eat in 5 minutes. I wouldn't have even noticed it was Dairy-Free if I hadn't been told.
I loved how it fit perfectly into the air fryer and it had a nice crunch to the crust. The Dairy-Free cheese is made with the Daiya Oat Cream blend and the pizza is also gluten-free.
If you need a quick and yummy meal or snack, I would recommend you try these out.

I received a snack box courtesy of Plantropy and Butterly which consisted of 5 different snacks. I was excited to try this Canadian brand of snack.
Three packs were called "Crispy Chickpeas" which came in the flavors Sea Salt, Thai Chili, and Tamarind. They are gluten-free, soy-free, rich in fibre, and have zero trans fat.
I tried the Sea Salt first which didn't really have much flavor to it. They had a texture that I was not fond of either. I would not purchase these personally.
The next one I tried was the Thai Chili which had a much better flavor, but it still had the same strange texture as the previous one.
The final of the three was Tamarind which I had never heard of before. It had an interesting flavor to it, but still had that same texture as the other two packages that i just couldn't get past.
The last two snacks that I was gifted were the Crispy Jackfruit and the BBQ Crispy Corn.
The Crispy Jackfruit looked similar to a chip. I am not too familiar with Jack Fruit but this snack tasted sweet. It had a nice crispy texture to it which I liked. For someone who enjoys Jackfruit, I think they would like this snack. But again, this was not the snack for me.
The final snack was my favorite. When I poured the BBQ Crispy Corn into my bowl, I wasn't expecting to see literal corn kernels. I'm not actually sure what I expected. I liked the flavor of this snack, although they were a little bit spicier than I was expecting. You could taste the corn, but the BBQ flavor was definitely the main taste. They had a nice light texture that almost melts in your mouth.
Overall, I like what Plantropy is trying to do with making healthy snacks. I do however, feel that they are a bit of an acquired taste and I am not the right client for these products.
If you would like to try Plantropy for yourself, you can find some of their products at your local Superstore. Unfortunately, I could not find a store listed on their website which actually sells the products I tested, here in Edmonton. Perhaps they will be coming soon.

BLUE LIZARD SENSITIVE SPRAY SPF 50 142G
I got to try the Blue Lizard Sensitive sunscreen. It has a nice swivel lock to open the container and it's easy to spray. There is an almost unnoticeable scent and it goes smoothly onto my skin. You can barely tell you are using sunscreen.

This was my first time using a spray sunscreen. I liked how the top turned to open and close it. It was easy to spray, but I did have difficulty aiming it where I wanted it.
When you first spray it on, it is white, but then you rub it into your skin so that you can no longer see it. It didn't feel greasy, and it had a very light scent that reminded me of the beach. My kids were also excited to have it sprayed on them.
I enjoyed how easy it was to use, but I personally wouldn't buy it because I worry with sprays that it will get into their eyes. But if a spray is your goto when it comes to sunscreen, then I would recommend this one.

I got to test out the @therabreathOral Rinse Icy Mint for free thanks to @thisisbutterly. I did not follow the instructions completely because I never really learned how to gargle.
The taste was good, but I do not agree with the bottle where it says that it is Non-burning. It definitely has a tingle to it. But I liked it.
The back of the bottle also says it fights bad breath for 24 hours when used every 12 hours. I'm not quite sure how that math adds up.
I had to stop at three stores before I could find the Icy Mint version. After trying two different Sobeys stores with no luck, I went to Shoppers Drug Mart, which had a large selection of TheraBreath in stock.
Despite the conflicting information found on the bottles label, I would consider buying TheraBreath again.

I've been using this on my legs, face, and hands. As someone with sensitive skin, I'm always nervous trying out a new cream. But this one goes on nice and does not irritate my skin.
I've been using it on my face before my makeup and it has helped my foundation go on better than my normal cream. I have noticed my chin has broke out a little, but I can't say for sure if it was due to the cream.
Aveeno also makes a Calm + Restore moisturizer specifically for your face, so I may have to try that one in the future.

NEUTROGENA® Ultra Gentle Daily Foaming Cleanser
This facial cleanser is simple to use and it has a nice light scent. The scent smells good while washing your face but doesn't linger, so I don't need to smell it for an extended amount of time. My face feels soft and clean once I'm finished.

NEUTROGENA® Daily Facial Moisturizer
You do not need a lot of cream to cover your whole face. The cream itself feels thinner than what I currently use. I haven't really noticed a difference in my skin so I would say it works about the same as most products in mositurizing my skin.

Today, I tried out the @voila.ca delivery to order my groceries. I was given a discount thanks to @thisisbutterly .
There are pros and cons to this delivery company. It is pretty comparable to other grocery delivery companies when it comes to their delivery fees. Like other store owned delivery companies, I was unable to choose a same day delivery slot.
I liked that they had different delivery prices depending on the time of day you had it arrive. They also offered a free item when placing a delivery.
I was a little disappointed that they were sold out of some of them items I needed, like bell peppers and baby formula. I received an email to let me know that one of the items I ordered was removed due to availability, but I wasn't an option to choose a replacement. I will end up having to go to the store myself anyway to buy my missing items.
The delivery itself went smoothly. It arrived within the time slot I requested, and the delivery driver was friendly and helpful.
Would I use this service again? Unless I needed something specifically from Sobeys of Safeway, I will stick with my current grocery delivery company.
