I qas lucky enough to try this for free from Chickadvisor and am grateful for the opportunity. This pasta was delicious! I loved that it had the extra nutrients from spinach, broccoli, kale and zucchini but my family (2 children under 10) didn't notice the difference. It made me confident in serving this as a regular dish. It cooked up fresh and quickly so it's perfect for those busy nights as you run off to extra curricular activities. It may have just been me, but it did seem a little stickier once cooked (I left it for a bit while I took care of a sibling issue). Overall though super happy with this product! -

My family loves pasta, not only for the convenience during weekday rushes but also for the taste. I am always looking for new and healthy recipes and was thrilled to try this from chickadvisor. I made a simple spaghetti dish with meatballs to test out the veggie spaghetti and was not disappointed. The best part? The kids gobbled it up without realizing the switch! The one thing I did find is that it tended to stick together a little more than our traditional noodles but once it's covered in sauce it doesn't make a difference. The taste was quite good and fresh even though it's a boxed pasta and the extra benefits made it a buy on my shopping list again for the future. -

To be honest I've never been a huge fan of exfoliating masks or creams as my skin seems to react poorly to many I have tried in the past. When given the opportunity to try this cream scrub for free from chickadvisor, I thought...I have nothing to lose. First off, the smell is light and refreshing not overly fruity or chemically which is quite nice. Secondly, I was pleasantly surprised at the softness while applying the cream. The exfoliating "beads" were quite fine and because of this was much less irritating to my sensitive skin. It still felt like my skin was being cleansed though. Once rinsed, there was no residue remaining and my face was left feeling smooth, soft and refreshed. Overall I was happy with this product and although I wouldn't use this too often, I will probably add it to a once weekly routine. -

Thank you to ChivkAdvisor for giving me this to try for free. The first thing that stands out about this product is the stunning packaging. It looks fresh and different and beautiful sitting out on my bathroom vanity. Honestly though, it doesn't matter how nice something looks, if it doesn't work it's not worth keeping....fortunately this was not the case with this eye makeup remover. This product did everything it set out to do! It completely removed all traces of my mascara and left my lashes feeling soft afterwards. It did not have the unpleasant oily feeling and felt dry immediately afterwards. Great product! Thanks Vichy. -

I was lucky enough to try this product for free from Chickadvisor and I am thrilled with the results! This came just in time for my vacation and was one of the first things I packed. I have used it as part of my nighttime routine for the past 2 weeks. The first week on vacation I was constantly slathered in sunscreen and was shocked at how well this removed all the sticky residue that I had layered on during the day. It not only did a great job of cleansing the skin but it also left my face feeling incredibly soft and smooth. A lot of cleansers seem too harsh for my skin but this one proved to be different. It also has a very nice light scent and makes a good lather which will let this bottle outlast many on the market. I will be purchasing this in the future. -

I was fortunate enough to get to try this product for free from Chickadvisor and am entirely grateful that I was. Not only does this product look great in the package, it did a great job of proving its worth and holding up to its claims! I have tried many creams in the past, but this one left a lasting impression. At first the texture of the cream (once the beads mixed with the gel) took a bit to get used to as I found it an odd texture when applying. That being said, it was quite light and rubbed into the skin easily. There was a pleasant scent that was not overpowering as well. I love that you can apply this underneath your regular moisturizer and makeup as well! I found that my skin was super smooth after using it for a couple weeks and nicely hydrated. I honestly haven't noticed a big difference in my wrinkles but I'm going to continue to use this as part of my daily regimen and will see if there are more dramatic changes to come. -

I was recently lucky enough to try this product for free from chickadvisor and couldn't wait to get my hands on it. I was intrigued by the promise of smooth and moisturized skin fresh from the shower. The premise is simple....use your regular cleansing product (soap or body wash) and then once rinsed add the Nivea in-shower lotion and quickly wash off without having to wait for it to sink in. Sounds perfect! I find that many of my body lotions sit unused in the cupboard simply for the amount of extra time it adds to a morning routine. During my first use one of the first things I noticed was the light and yummy smell. It was not overpowering and did an ok job of staying fragrant afterwards (although I would have liked it to linger longer). At first I was unsure of how much to rinse as it still seemed to have a residue after initial wash, which makes sense since it's supposed to moisturize your skin. I must admit my skin felt quite soft and silky but I don't feel like my skin was left fully moisturized. I have dry skin so this may work better on a different skin type. I may purchase this in the future regardless since I truly enjoyed the scent and softness but will be looking elsewhere for a skin thirst quencher. -

I recently had the opportunity to try the Prairie Red version of this cat food for free (okay truthfully my cat Duke was the one who actually ate the food!). The first thing I noticed was the amazing ingredient list! They all sounded so yummy....all natural and no fillers. With a menu of fresh beef, wild boar, bison, Pacific salmon, herring and cod it's no wonder my cat wanted to eat it straight out of the box it was shipped in! The fact that there is freeze dried raw ingredients (kelp, pumpkin, cod liver and mussels) made me feel confident in the quality of food my cat was getting. The added bonus of no artificial anything and no corn or wheat was another selling feature for me. Duke was super happy with the doodle as well and gobbled it up immediately (since I was mixing at first for transitoning, he actually managed to pick out all the Nutrience Prairie Red from his old food). It also has a good amount of omega 3/6, glucosamine and chondroitin (to help with his aging joints)to make this kibble a winner on all sides! Duke has now had this food for about a month and is still enjoying the taste, while I am enjoying the benefits I know he is getting (a nice shiny coat right now). I see us using this far into the future. -

I was fortunate enough to get to try this as a sample, and am thrilled to have the opportunity to do so. I love the fact that it is so easy to use - my son was happy to be my helper and needed no assistance in the process (age 7). I find that with liquid detergents (my preferred laundry method) I am constantly going through containers probably faster than needed as I tend to over estimate the amount needed per load. With the Glad flings, the guesswork qas eliminated! I absolutely loved the scent of the cleaned laundry and noticed that it tended to stay on the clothes even after abandoning them in the "to fold and put away" pile for a few days. Although I did not have any tough stains to be rectified during this load, I do have 2 children and many everyday "oops" happen on any given week. All clothes came out clean and fresh. I will be purchasing in the future. -
Starbucks via vanilla latte

This is a nice alternative when you can't get to a Starbucks, or on a weekend when you don't want to get out of your jammies. I was skeptical as to how they could recreate a drink in a powder form that normally requires a barista to make it frothy and smooth. To my surprise it was actually quite good! Although not quite as flavourful as the in store latte version, it definately hit the spot. If you normally partake in the French vanilla latte, you will find the flavour less intense, but the smoothness was quite consistent. I will be buying a second pack once this one is done to have on hand in the cupboard just in case. -
