I was lucky enough to try this product for free.
First off real cool packaging and loved the easy grip ridges making it easy to hold the body wash bottle while in the shower. Awesome scent and it lasts all day long. After use my skin feels fresh and clean. The gel lathers into a rich foam so you don't have to use a lot of product.
I would definitely recommend this product and would purchase it myself.

This is a pop-up restaurant put on by Dinner4Four. A prominent area chef creates a dinner menu and 'tables' are set-up for dining, in our case 'garden domes' along a canal. Beautiful outdoor space.
Clear-plastic domes (the size of a small room) were set-up for this experience and the interiors decorated with fresh flowers, candles, sparkling lights along the ceiling and contemporary furniture. So fun! Check out my pics for a better visual.
A great experience, especially with the later evening seating as the ambiance created with the candles and lights is simply amazing at night!
The meal itself was okay. For dinner we were served a salad, soup, main and dessert. Wines & cocktails menu were available as well. Service was great and staff pleasant, the chef even dropped by our dome. Found some of the dishes cold by the time they got from the kitchen to our table. For the cost of this dinner, I also expected larger portions (not tapas sizes) and perhaps another course.
Although this experience was amazing and I'd recommend doing it at least once, for the cost, I certainly expected ... more!
I also found it silly to have to 'reserve' a dome (over $100) for a maximum of 2 hours use. We then had to pay additionally for each meal. There is no option to eat anywhere other than within the dome so why this separate and pricey charge in addition to the meals? The total cost was around $600., for 4 people.

Thanks so much to ChickAdvisor I got the chance to try Tresemme Smooth Compressed Micro Mist Hair Spray, LEVEL 2 hold for free!! #GotItFree
What I love about this hair spray is it's sleek design, making it super easy to hold, point and spray! It fit easily in my bag and suitcase, without taking up much space!
I also appreciated that when sprayed, it was light and directed, thanks to the compressed micro mist feature. A lot less waste and avoided the dreaded "shower of stickiness" as I like to call it. It's all that extra spray that comes out with typical hair spray bottles!
My hair remained soft to the touch and didn't feel stiff, the fruity scent was a bonus! Unlike many hairsprays I've tried with an unpleasant smell and sticky finish.
My only complaint is that I still had frizzy hair, although reduced. I have thick curly hair so think a higher level hold would certainly do the trick for me.
I would most certainly recommend this product if you're looking for a light styling agent to help keep hair in place without the sticky residue. Smart design & mist feature. Easy to use, smells fantastic and great price!

PowerBar Plant Protein, cashew, salted caramel and dark chocolate.
Thanks to ChickAdvisor, I was able to try this product for FREE #gotitfree, #PowerBarPlantProtein
Important tidbits ...
- Non-GMO
- Certified Vegan
- All Natural
- Contains 10gr of protein
- 7 gr of fibre
- 12 gr of fat
- 230 calories a bar
The packaging is green to reflect it's use of 'plant protein' with a little peek-a-boo window to see the actual product.
Immediately biting into this crunchy bar I noticed bits of cashew pieces throughout. A thin layer of dark chocolate spread on one side and the other side a sparse drizzle.
These bars are great for any on-the-go activity like soccer practice, hitting the gym or just looking for a satisfying snack!
Personally, I'm not a fan of the sweet vs salty flavour so would not buy them. But if you do like this flavour profile, you'll probably enjoy them and find them satisfying. Slightly more salty than sweet.
You really can't go wrong for about $1.20 a bar at CostCo!

PowerBar Plant Protein, almond, sea salt and dark chocolate flavoured bar ... need I say more?????
I do actually, this is a fantastic product! It's Non-GMO, Certified Vegan, all natural and contains 10gr of protein and 8 gr of fibre. I can pronounce every ingredient on the back of the bar!
It comes in green packaging with a little transparent window so you can get a good look at the bar itself. I found this to be an extremely satisfying bar containing whole almonds and pumpkin seeds both on top and throughout the bar. Dark chocolate was lightly drizzled on top of the bar and a thin layer coated the bottom. Great for a quick snack, on your way to the gym, a 'pick me up' snack or part of a healthy breakfast.
My only critique is I wish there was less sugar (contains 10 gr), I did find it a bit too sweet at times.
I will most definitely be buying these hearty bars! If you're looking for a tasty, natural and satisfying protein & fibre bar ... you gotta try a PowerBar Plant Protein bar. And for about $1.20 a bar at CostCo ... you really can't go wrong!

Thanks to ChickAdvisor I got to try Nivea Q10 Firming Body Oil absolutely FREE ... #gotitfree
I liked a few things about this firming oil ... it has such a gentle, long lasting scent and left my skin feeling supple and super soft. The oil went on very easily and absorbed into my skin much faster than the Nivea Q10 Body Firming Lotion.
I used this product for weeks and although I did not notice any firming, I did notice a very minute difference in stretch mark appearance. I don't agree with the products' advertising. Also, not a fan of the dispenser... oil can get pretty messy and unfortunately this one was no exception.
This product left my skin smelling DELISH and baby soft. For these reasons I would definitely buy and recommend this product ... just not for firming or reducing stretch marks purposes.

Thanks to ChickAdvisor I got to try Nivea Q10 Firming Body Lotion for FREE ... #gotitfree
Although there were a number of things I liked about this firming lotion, I'm not likely to buy it. First off, I liked the soft scent and that it came in an easy to use pump. Although I like the ease of using pumps, product gets left towards the bottom and ends up getting thrown out.
Although this firming lotion left my skin soft ... it also took some time for my skin to absorb it and had
"sticky" skin for hours as a result. I saw no change in firming or reduction in stretch marks either, which was disappointing.
Unfortunately, I would not buy this product in future. It doesn't do what it says it does and I didn't like my skin feeling sticky.

Thanks to ChickAdvisor I was able to try this product free ... #gotitfree
I liked this hand cream for a few reasons ... it's soft scent, non-greasy, plus moisturized my hands and made them uber soft. I appreciate it had a light consistency and wasn't a thick, sticky mess.
I also like the ease of hand creams packaged this way. The hand cream is always easily squeezed out and I ended up using pretty much all the product. Sometimes with a pump there is cream left at the bottom you just can't reach. What a waste!
Unfortunately, can't say I noticed a difference in anti-aging but would still recommend this product as a moisturizer bc it does the job!

Thanks again to ChickAdvisor ... I #gotitfree
I'm not usually a fan of the chocolate and peanut butter combination but gotta say ... I love this protein bar! Consider me converted! The chocolate coating was smooth and the peanut butter interior was so tasty. It was the right amount of sweetness and I enjoyed the creamier consistency of the bar - not chalky at all.
I felt good eating this protein bar because it only has 2 grams of sugar and 5 grams of fiber. Plus it really kept my hunger at bay with the 20 grams of protein. I've eaten them before my exercise routine or when replacing or adding to a light meal. I highly recommend this product.
I would definitely buy the PowerBar ProteinPlus (Reduced Sugar) Chocolate Peanut Butter protein bar again and again!

Thanks to ChickAdvisor ... I #gotitfree
It had a surprisingly sweet and light lemon taste, without the typical chalky consistency. I also enjoyed the tiny poppy seeds bursting my mouth - reminded me of eating a slice of lemon poppy seed loaf actually.
It is a larger bar so made sure I had water by my side as I did find it a bit dry when eating the whole thing.
It's gluten-free, only 3 grams of sugar and 5 grams of fibre, plus 20 grams of protein - which makes this bar a great choice! Perfect after a grueling exercise session, as a snack or light meal replacement. The packaging is kinda cute too!
Although I would not buy this protein bar for myself, simply because I don't like the lemon and poppy seed combination, I'd absolutely recommend it to anyone who does.
