I was excited to try this new Hazelnut spread, so when I saw ChickAdvisor was sending out free samples, I applied and was chosen.
First looking at the consistency, it looks very smooth. Infact it is very smooth. It's not as sweet as Nutella. I like that there are options for a crunchy version and a less sugar option.
That's about as exciting as it gets. The hazelnut spread is decent, but it doesn't match the same quality and distinct taste of nutella. This has more of an oily taste.
If I couldn't find nutella, or this was on sale for a good price, this would be an okay alternative, but it doesn't have an as strong hazelnut taste as it's competition.

I was surprised when I was picked to take part of this campaign from ChickAdvisor and Voila! By Sobeys. So to start off, I do have to disclose that I was given a coupon code discount in exchange for my honest review.
It couldn't be easier to order groceries online, especially right now during the pandemic. Going into stores can be a little scary and overwhelming, and shopping online eliminates that. The Voila by Sobeys website is very easy to use, and I was able to schedule my delivery for the same week as I was ordering.
You can choose your groceries based on categories or you can use the search engine. What's nice about the Sobeys site is that you can also shop from other stores in your area, so for myself I could pick groceries also from Farm Boy, and Chalo FreshCo. And, there are sale prices. Which is awesome because some of the competitors only charge regular price.
I will say the day I placed my order, some of the items I wanted to order, said they were out of stock, so I was a little disappointed in that, however when I got my order confirmation, I was given a few days to modify my order. So the day before my order was delivered, I was able to log in and those items were then able to be added.
The day of my delivery, I received an email to say my order was processed and it would be delivered in the time frame I picked. The driver (Emilio) called me about 15 minutes before my delivery and said he would be at my house then.
Once he arrived he unloaded my groceries out of the refrigerated truck, rang my door bell, and stepped away giving some distance.. since we have the pandemic. When I stepped out to collect my groceries he explained how the truck is kept at a certain temperature, the bags with green handles are for cold items and bags with brown handles are for everything else that doesn't spoil. The bags are also collected by them to be recycled, but unfortunately the program is on hold right now because of the virus.
Overall, my experience was positive. I was happy with how quickly I was able to schedule my delivery, and how friendly the driver was. My only disappointment was that although I could shop from a few stores, the selection was limited and I had to go back in and edit my order to add those items that I originally would have added the first time. I would use the service again, especially if they offered more promotions.

I received the refreshing hydrating beauty mist for free in exchange for my honest review from chick advisor.
The nozzle on this spray is out of this world. It sprays so evenly and light, it really is a mist. It smells great and helps boost your skin with hydration whenever you need it. I enjoyed it after toning before serum. But it was also nice to apply if my skin ever felt tight or dry. I love the scent!

I received the refreshing moisturizing cream for free in exchange for my honest review from chick advisor.
This cream is great! You can wear it on its own, or layered with other products and it doesn't ball up. It soaks well into the skin and it actually feels hydrating. Its on the thick side but it feels so fancy and luxe. I love that it comes in a glass jar, and a little goes a long way. And it smells amazing!

I received this for free from chickadvisor in exchange for my hinest review. I wanted to love this drink. Just the thought of a cold ginger ale or cold lemonade on a hot summer day sounds so refreshing! However I feel this kind of missed the mark for me. It wasn't quite that canada dry pop that we love, and it was missing that familiar tart lemon flavour. I was hoping for a burst of lemonade but it was just kind of flat. The drink itself was good, and my family will finish the pack, but I can't see us rushing out to buy it again.

I love how light weight this sunscreen is! It absorbs fast and doesn't feel like its burning my skin like some sunscreens feel. It isn't sticky feeling either. I do wish it had a higher spf, but something is better than nothing at all.

I was so surprised at how much i liked this hand cream. I thought because it was a gel, that it would dry sticky or not be hydrating enough, but I was proven wrong when I tried this out. This is so hydrating and doesn't leave behind that thick greasy feeling like some hand creams do. And this soaks in fast! I was a little disappointed that it didn't have fragrance but I still enjoyed it quite a bit. -

I really liked how effective these wipes were. They removed my eye makeup and face makeup. They didn't leave a sticky residue however i still prefer to wash my face with a cleanser because i feel that cleans my skin properly. These are super convenient, and the individual wipes won't dry out like the larger packs somtimes do. -

My girlfriend received this antiperspirant for free from chick advisor in exchange for my honest review.
I buy the same deodorant/antiperspirant because I know which one works the best for me. I stick to one brand, one type and that's it. I figured it didnt hurt to try this because it was complimentary. I enjoyed the scent and the value but I found it didn't keep my sweat away and for that alone, I wouldn't repurchase this. I enjoy my regular brand much more.

I'm usually not picky about deodorant but seem to always stick to the same brand, so when I got the chance to try this degree stick deodorant for free in exchange for my honest review, I had to say yes. I was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed the scent, as I almost always choose fruitier scented deodorant. I would say that it does slightly transfer and leaves white marks on my clothing. It did last all day long and I found that I didn't smell by the end of the day, which meant it worked. I'd consider purchasing another when I run out, however I'd choose another scent. -
