Boosting my immunity during cold and flu season is a priority for me. I loved having the opportunity to test these immune support gummies. First off, they taste great! They are a fun way to take your vitamins as the gummy was very soft and easy to chew. I've tried some gummies that are hard and really difficult to chew. They gummies were perfect. I love that they contain vitamin c, zinc and black elderberry to support my immune system. I am very prone to colds and this gummy is something I can easily incorporate into my daily vitamin schedule all year round but especially during cold and flu season. Overall, this is a great immune boosting product that is fun and easy to take!

I really enjoyed using this body scrub. It was not rough on my skin at all like some body scrubs that are just all grit. This was a gentle body scrub that lathered when you rubbed it into your skin. I really liked that feature as it made the product easy to spread. This product is labelled as fragrance free but I did notice it had a bit of a smell to it, an earthy odor. In my opinion it was somewhat unpleasant but it was not strong or overpowering. I really loved how this body scrub made my skin feel so incredibly soft and smooth. It was great to use on the rough areas of my skin like my heels. This scrub also claims to even skin tone but I didn't notice any benefit to my skin in this regard. Nonetheless, this is a great body scrub and one that I am happy to add to my skin care routine! -

This is the most decadent strawberry ice cream I have ever had! It is so rich and creamy tasting with just the right amount of strawberry flavour. It is an incredibly smooth and silky ice cream with actual pieces of strawberry in it, not just flavouring like some other ice cream brands. I love that the ingredient list is simple and made with ingredients I can actually pronounce. My family agreed that this is amazing ice cream. My sister who doesn't usually care for strawberry ice cream said that this ice cream was "divine"! This is definitely a treat that I would purchase in the future and highly recommend to others to try. -

This moisturizer is lightweight in texture and is a combination of a gel and cream. It is pleasantly fragranced with a light floral scent. I found this product to be a bit wet when I applied it and wasn't sure how well it would absorb into my skin. I was pleasantly surprised however to discover that it absorbed quickly into my skin and left no sticky or tacky residue. I found a little bit when a long way.
This moisturizer made my skin soft and smooth and made a great base for my foundation to go on. I do have oily skin but found that my skin was not any oiler with this product. My skin was nicely hydrated for the whole day.
Overall, this is a great moisturizer that worked well with my oily skin type and I would recommend it to others to try as well, regardless of skin type.

I served this pur grains product as a side dish for my family's supper meal. The packaging is eye catching and the pouch is easy to open. I prepared this dish in the microwave as directed (it can also be prepared on the stove top) to get it on the table quickly. It only took 90 seconds with an additional 30 seconds to let it sit.
As soon as I opened the package, the scent was reminiscent of dill pickles. While eating, I did find that the dill flavour was much stronger than the lemon flavour. There was also a sweetness to the dish.
I like that this product is nutritious with quinoa, brown rice and farro. I feel that I am making a healthy choice. It is also a good source of fiber, iron and protein. However, I was surprised to see how much fat was in this product. That was a draw back for me.
Overall, this was a tasty side dish that was quick to get on the table and there was not one spoonful left at the end of supper! So it went over really well with my family. I would recommend this product to others to try and would love to try the other flavours available too.

I was pleasantly surprised how great this hazelnut spread tasted. It was very smooth and had the perfect balance of chocolate and hazelnut flavour. I tried this spread on a plain tea cookie and it added such a great flavour. It really dressed up the plain cookie and added a flavour boost to an otherwise bland cookie. This is a product the whole family could enjoy and use in so many different ways. A versatile product that is great to have on hand in the pantry. Overall, I loved this spread and would recommend to others to try. -

My family really enjoyed this bread. It is soft and tasted very fresh. For the usual price of a loaf of this white bread, you get a nice sized loaf. It gives good value for your money.
I made grilled cheese sandwiches for my family with this bread and the sandwiches were gobbled up very quickly. Not one sandwich was left uneaten! The bread toasted nicely and had a pleasing crunch.
The bread has a sweet sort of flavour to me. As a family who eats whole grain and whole wheat bread, this white bread was a special treat for us. While we won't be switching to white bread as it is not as nutrient dense as whole grain bread, we would eat the Dempster's white bread for a special treat.
I received a free product coupon to purchase this bread for review purposes. #gotitfree

I use body wash on a daily basis so I have used many body wash brands over the years. I have a few criteria that I use to determine if a body wash is good. First it has to have a great scent. This body wash is lavender scented and while I'm not a huge fan of lavender scents, I found the scent to be subtle and not too over powering.
Second of all, I want my body washes to have a great lather. This body wash certainly lathers very well. I use a body pouf and a little bit goes a long way. This body wash feels so soft and silky on my body. It really felt so much silkier than other products I have used. My skin felt hydrated after using this body wash.
Overall, I really loved this body wash! Despite not being my favourite scent, the formula really is a winner in my books. I would love to try other body wash scents from this brand. I would definitely recommend this body wash to others to try.

This conditioner has the same lavender scent as the corresponding shampoo. I'm not a huge fan of lavender but I found this scent to be subtle and not too overpowering. The consistency of this product is great. It is not too thick that it won't spread and not too runny that it won't stick to the hair.
After shampooing my hair, I applied the conditioner and left it on my hair for 3-4 minutes. It rinsed cleanly from my hair and left no residue behind.
I did find that while using my pick comb on my wet hair that my hair had a few more tangles than usual. Maybe this conditioner is not as moisturizing as my usual products? However, after my hair dried, it felt soft and smooth. My frizzy hair was controlled and easy to manage. I also had the subtle scent of lavender in my hair throughout the day.
Overall, this is a product I would be pleased to use in my hair care routine and would recommend it to others to try.
