Annie's brand boasts 80% organic products in their Macaroni & Cheese, but I was still hesitant to try it since I have liked the Original KD a lot ever since I was a kid, mostly due to their skinny noodles.
I'm happy to let you all know that I think Annie's Homegrown Macaroni & Cheese tastes just as good as Original KD ..and has the same size of noodle. The cheese is very similar and the noodle texture is very similar. I even tried a raw noodle because I ate them when I was little - and I found the Annie's noodle to taste more "earthy".
I'm thrilled about this product. Now I have a healthier option! I would recommend this to anyone with kids who love KD, silently switch and see if they notice!
Thanks, FamilyRated!

I received a box of this white cheddar shells pasta by Annie's for free from FamilyRated to test and review. I cooked it to the directions and shared it with a friend. The pasta cooked well, and was a good texture. The white cheddar powder mix dissolved well and it didn't taste too intense. I added some real cheddar too for fun. I think the price is comparable to original KD. I would suggest this to parents who want a healthier option for their kids. -

I was sent this #HellmannsAvocado with a hint of lime FREE to test and review!
I first used it in my tuna sandwich and when I opened the mayonnaise jar - I noticed the colour and texture seemed creamier than usual. I can smell a tiny hint of lime - nothing too overpowering.
I could barely taste the lime in the tuna sandwich, it was light and the sandwich tasted great. I think this mayo is a step above a regular mayo because it has avocado oil. 🥑
I paired my sandwich with a Canadian split pea and ham soup and some baby dill pickles.

It's a great day for #cocktails🍹 & #mocktails🍹 with friends. ChickAdvisor sent me a coupon for a free bottle of Motts Mr and Mrs T mix to test and review. I checked at the grocery stores in my area and I found two choices (out of a possible 5) available currently. Strawberry Daiquiri and Margarita Mix 🍹🍸Most already know I am not much of a "drinker" but I love beverages! I chose the #strawberrydaiquiri mix (even though they asked me to review Mai Tai - how could I? I didn't find one of those around in time!) and called my friend to come over and make drinks with me. In my review packaage I also received two adorable golden coloured moustache stir sticks and a
#tryMottsMrMrsT cocktails recipe booklet. We made Peach-Berry Freeze and a Berrylicious Shake for these pictures (the darker red drink is the Peach-Berry Freeze). 🍑🍋We also made Long Weekend Lemonade and a Wildberry Daiquiri. Jessica added vodka to hers, but I didn't add any liquor at all. The Berrylicious shake is SOOOOOO GOOD. The mix really packs a punch of strawberry flavour! Jess took a sip of her Peach-Berry Freeze and instantly said "Oh! Mmmmm!" and then I gave her a tester cup of the Berrylicious shake and her eyes almost came out of her head. It is SO delicious. I recommend this mix to anyone who likes strawberry drinks!! I am totally going to buy another mix and try other drinks from my booklet. #chickadvisor #yyzblogger #beverages #gotitfree

I received these Voortman cookies for free to test and review - THANK YOU familyrated! They're sooooooo tasty! I love them. I have a huge sweet tooth (basically all my teeth are sweet teeth haha). These wafer cookies are very light and not overly sweet. The bag is completely sealed and keeps it really fresh so when I finally tried my cookies they still tasted fresh and they were great. They have a light crunch when you bite into them. I will totally try to buy more again! I ate them with a friend and she loved them too. -

I received this primer free from Chick Advisor in exchange for my honest review. #gotitfree.
I put the primer on my freshly cleaned face on the right cheek, and then waited an hour. Afterwards I felt the difference between the two sides of my face and I must tell you.. the right side with primer felt so soft and smooth!! Plus, the product smells absolutely amazing! Kind of like there is fruit in it!
I used this primer in my daily makeup routine and I find it helped my makeup last just as well as other favourite primers I use. It also made my skin look slightly smoother.
I will probably buy this primer again! I love that it has natural ingredients.
Thanks Chick Advisor.

I love the flavour, the crunch and the chew to these Powerbars! I ate one of these bars and really liked it, but an hour later I had an allergic reaction of hives, and vomiting. I am allergic to some grasses, trees, and weeds - maybe these "plant protein" ones aren't safe for me. It's truly sad, because I thought it was delicious!
I was sent two of these cashew caramel ones to try through Chick Advisor so that I can do this honest review. #gotitfree #powerbarplantprotein

I love the crunch and chew to this bar. It feels amazing to chew and tastes great. It stuck to my dental work a little bit, but it wasn't terrible. I really found this delicious and a great size. It has about 10g of protein, and it seem to be really healthy.
#gotitfree #powerbarplantprotein NOTE: I received 2 of these bars for free to test and review honestly, and I really liked this one.
WARNING: I ate one of these bars, and then about an hour or two later I had a severe allergic reaction and threw up for an hour. I took a benadryl and it helped me feel better. I am allergic to some types of grasses, trees and weeds - and this is a plant protein bar. I am afraid to try the rest of them now. I do not know for sure if the reaction was from this bar or not. This was definitely the only "new" or "different" thing I ate that day.

I received this Dove Itch Relief Conditioner for free to test and review. I have professionally dyed hair that is naturally dark blonde but made lighter with pink and purple added as well. This doesn't do well for coloured hair - I could see the dye running out. The shampoo for this type of Dove really tangled my hair and made it hard to brush out after - three handfuls of this conditioner didn't do much to help.
That all being said - I love this conditioner for how it smells, and because today my head isn't nearly as itchy and dry as yesterday before I washed with this. My hair feels very soft after I have dried and styled it.
PROS - less itch. Less dandruff. Soft hair.
CONS - conditioner doesn't do much to help the tangled mess my hair becomes from most shampoo types. Made my hair colour run.

I received this Dove Itch Relief Shampoo for free to test and review. I have professionally dyed hair that is naturally dark blonde but made lighter with pink and purple added as well. This doesn't do well on coloured hair - I could see the dye running out. It also really tangled my hair and made it hard to brush out after.
That all being said - I love the shampoo for how it smelled, and lathered well, and because today my head isn't nearly as itchy and dry as yesterday before I washed with this. My hair feels soft after I dried and styled it.
PROS - less itch. Less dandruff. Soft hair.
CONS - turns hair to a straw nest after washing and conditioner doesn't do much to help. Made my hair colour run.
