Les pâtes étaient cuites à la perfection, la sauce a une très belle consistance et il y en a assez. Le goût était bien (non, ça ne goûte pas tellement les noisettes, c'est pas bizarre). Ça accompagnerait sûrement très bien du poulet ou du porc.
En même temps, on n'a pas particulièrement aimé et on n'a pas terminé nos bols.

Knorr One Skillet Meals in Spicy Chipotle Chicken Brown Rice and Quinoa
Aussi bien acheter du quinoa et assaisonner soi-même, il faut préparer le poulet (cru), ajouter des carottes et des épinards et faire cuire le quinoa de toute façon!

Because of a health issue I often need to eat liquid meals, and I need more protein, so I was glad to get this product to review!
I've tried many other brands, and I must say the biggest and nicest surprise about this one was: no icky residue at the bottom (the feeling of drinking lumps of shake is ewww).
It felt more liquid than the other brands, but once you get used to it, it's a nice product!
The vanilla taste is good and it did the job.

I have a digestive problem so I need to take a lot of liquid meals, and up my protein somehow, so I was very glad to receive this product to review!
Unlike other similar products, it doesn't have "goo" in the bottom (I even emptied half of one to see). In fact, it's more liquid than other "shakes".
I felt satisfied after drinking it.
My main negative point (once you get used to the texture) is that the chocolate tasted not like chocolate milk but like chocolate in water... it was a bit weird. It wouldn't stop me from drinking more, but I'm not sure I would buy it. I still recommend it, mostly because of the lack of yucky bits at the bottom!

J'étais très heureuse d'être choisie pour cette évaluation, car ça nous arrive souvent de perdre des fruits ou légumes frais, surtout les fraises, que j'aime beaucoup!
J'ai donc été acheter mon plat de format moyen (parfait pour un panier de fraises -équivalent de 2 casseaux) au Canadian Tire.
Le jour même on a acheté le petit panier de fraises du Québec à la fruiterie! Elles étaient très belles, pas de fraises à enlever ou défraîchies dedans : parfait pour un test!
On a bien lu les instructions fournies avec le plat : ne pas toucher au filtre sur le côté, ne pas laver ni couper les fruits ou légumes avant de les placer dans le plat... on place le petit plateau dans le fond (qui fait que les produits frais ne reposent pas dans l'humidité... habituellement je mets un papier essuie-tout, c'est la version deluxe haha!
On a lavé le plat à la main après avoir enlevé tous les autocollants, mais tous les morceaux vont au lave-vaisselle...
On a mis les fraises dedans (SANS les laver ni les couper).
Le lendemain, déjà elles étaient moins belles.
Ça fait 3 jours maintenant, et elles sont quand même fermes, donc ça marche un peu... mais elles sont loin d'être appétissantes. Elles ont commé "séché" en surface, la peau a des plaques brunâtres.
Heureusement, on va s'en servir pour faire du jus!

I was lucky enough to get this product from ChickAdvisor to try (full size, yay!) #gotitfree. Here's my review :
The night I got the product I was so excited I wanted to try it immediately, so I put some lotion on my knees and calves, on my elbows and down to my hands.
The next evening, these area were still moisturized and still felt softer than the rest of my skin!
I liked the feel of the product while I applied it. I was not a fan of the abricot smell, though. I've smelled much worse, but I would've preferred another combo with the honey.
I like the presentation, in the little pot (...not that little).
When applying the lotion, it felt refreshing, not icky, as some lotions do. And it penetrated the skin almost immediately, I didn't feel like I couldn't go near anything by fear of leaving marks or something.
And yet... the hydration stayed a long time!
I'm really impressed with this product. It claims it will work for 48 hours, and now I believe it!

I was lucky enough to get this product from ChickAdvisor to try (full size, yay!) #gotitfree. Here's my review :
I have sensitive skin (but not OVERLY sensitive, I can enjoy scented products, and I love that), I also have a condition that sends me to the ground, fainting, when I'm too hot. So I was glad to see this was a product I could use to WASH but that would hydrate as well... because on days I'm not feeling good health-wise, I simply don't have the energy to put on lotion or body butter after I shower! And in the summer, if I put hydrating products on, it just kills my ability to regulate my body's temperature... and I faint! (and really, who enjoys feeling all yucky because of lotion in the summer? We already have sunscreen to put on!).
Bonus : This product can double as shaving cream! Not my idea, it says so on the bottle! I tried it, and it works! It stayed on long enough for me to shave, and my skin was left softer then when I use the soap bar for the same purpose!
For the test, I did not use any lotion or body butter afterwards, it's been over 24 hours and my skin is still soft to the touch and I don't feel stretched or dry at all!
The smell wasn't overpowering (I love honey, but am not a fan of abricot, and it didn't bother me). I did not smell of fruit when I got out of the shower.
I liked the feel of the product on my skin, it made a satisfying amount of bubbles and I felt clean.
Me and my skin loved the product, and I look forward to using the rest of my bottle!

I'm a big big fan of Dove products and everything they do.
My favorite anti-perspirant so far is a Dove product (Cucumber for sensitive skin)... but last time we were at Costco, it was this one and we didn't think twice about it and took it... mistake.
It's just like all other Dove anti-prespirant in general... except when I put it on, it smells bad. Well, in my opinion of course. Like it smells "past the due date"... hard to describe... but some beauty products have that smell when they've been open for too long, they lose that nice smell and start to have that "ripe" smell... Like a perfume that doesn't smell nice anymore, that turned.
I also felt like I was smelling, a few times... but I asked other people (like my mom, for instance) and she was adament I wasn't and it was just because I wasn't used to the smell of that product, or didn't agree with it.
She did say, once she started using it herself, that she, too, often start to wonder if she smelled bad... and wasn't a fan of the product's smell either.
As for the "go sleeveless" claim, that your underarm hair will become less visible after a short period of regular use, it's bs. I've been using it for almost a year and my hair is just the same. No finer, no lighter, nothing. And I already don't have a lot.
Final verdict: keep to other Dove products!

I hate having cream on my hands. It always either feels sticky or clammy or whatever. YUK.
But I have eczema and very dry hands, especially on my hands. Plus I have a bad immune system due to a chronic illness, so I need to wash or Purell my hands often... so cream is a must!
This "hand" cream is one of the few I can use without cringing, and being able to forget about it.
I use it at least twice a day, often way more. I keep a tube in my living room near my sofa and another one near my bed.

Febreze Car Vent Clips Freshener in Linen & Sky

We bought one thinking it would be like the little pine cardboard thingy... smelling worse than the car without it after a short period... also thinking it was a waste, as the car wasn't smelly at all.
But I insisted : I like when it smells "nice", not just "not bad". :)
I was afraid, though, that it would smell too much, too artificial, etc.
Boy was I wrong!!!
It smells amazing! The scent is very discrete, we almost forget about it... but once in awhile you get a refreshing whiff and it's like "ahhhh". It definitely doesn't smell bad or worse!
It's not super cheap as a car freshener, but so far it's been a few weeks, and the amount of liquid in the clip doesn't seem to have gone down... so if you only need to buy a few of those per year for that great scent, I'd definitely say it's worth it!
