I received my free Vichy Idealia Skin Sleep a couple weeks ago and have been using it faithfully every since. The first thing I noticed was the scent - not perfumy and I loved that. The texture was a little odd to me at first because it's a gel and it feels kind of cool and almost sticky....I was using too much. It really doesn't take much to be effective and then it absorbs beautifully and doesn't leave my face feeling greasy by morning (a problem I had with my old low-end night cream.) And for the record, I love that slightly cool feeling when the cream goes on, especially during this heat wave!
My skin feels great and there is definitely an improvement in the texture of my skin. The tone of my skin is more even and yes, I could see the difference within a couple days.
It's pricier than what I was using before, but the results speak for themselves - it's worth it!

I absolutely love these bars! There are no cheap superfluous fillers here, just good, natural, nutritious food put together the most delicious way. Loaded with nuts and seeds and just the right amount of honey (the only preservative.) I like to keep one in my purse for 'emergencies' because I can always feel good about eating this treat - no guilt and total satisfaction. They cost a little more than the regular boxed varieties, but they are 100% worth it! -
Lindt Excellence Intense Cranberry
I love the Excellence line of Lindt chocolate. The chocolate is smooth, the flavour has the perfect intensity, and I love all things cranberry, so this one was a no-brainer for me. Worth the price, every time.

Truly amazing chocolate! I tried the 72% Dark Chocolate, the orange and the raspberry chunks and they were all delicious. The chocolate is smooth and really doesn't need anything added to be my favourite, but when you add the real raspberries or orange.....it blew my mind.
It's organic, fair trade, and pure. Seriously, the ingredients list on the Chocolate Raspberry reads: Cocoa mass, sugar cane, cocoa butter, raspberry. No soy, no dairy, no nothing nasty, and yet it is melt-in-you-mouth smooth! (They are made in a factory that makes soy and dairy products, so that warning is on the label.)
The price is a bit steep, but that goes with the fair trade/organic territory. In my opinion, totally worth it!
They have tons of flavours and I want to try them all!

When I received my free product to try from Chick Advisor, I put it straight to work. I was up to my eyeballs in laundry that day, so I didn't bother presoaking anything and questioned whether it was going to make a difference. I need not have worried....my dishtowels came out sparkling, without the fading that chlorine has caused in the past. And my husband's dingy sports socks came white again! I LOVE it!!
The only thing I'm not crazy about this the smell, because I have been using fragrance free laundry products for years and I'm not used to it. That said, I am still really happy with this product and I will buy it again!

I tried the Arm & Hammer Clump & Seal cat littler for free, courtesy of Chick Advisor. I don't think I would have paid this much for cat litter otherwise, but I was more than happy to try it for free.
My husband always says 'you get what you pay for' and I guess that is true in this case. I've been using store brands and 'cheap' litter and it was messy and smelly. No surprise there.
The Arm & Hammer Clump & Seal does just what it says it will. It clumps well and makes cleaning up the littler box less gross. It also controls the odor very effectively -- I cleaned the litter box without even gagging. I'll definitely buy this again, even without a coupon!

I bought a couple gift packs of this Herbacin hand cream just after Christmas. I have been really impressed with it and I'd buy it again.
The cream absorbs really well for something so thick and rich. When I felt the texture of the cream, I was worried that it would leave me feeling greasy, but it certainly doesn't. I can feel the difference in my very dry skin immediately and the hydrated feeling lasts. It has a fragrance, but I like it and I haven't had any problems with it bothering my sensitive skin.
Like I said, I'd definitely buy this product again.

My family LOVES Triscuit crackers!
There are so many yummy flavours available. My husband's favourite is Rosemary & Olive Oil, mine would probably be the Sweet Potato, though I mostly buy the simple low sodium ones because they're still yummy straight out of the box and you can still add great toppings. They work great for melting cheesy stuff on too.
I think what we love most is the texture. You get a massive amount of crunch and just as much fibre in every bite!
For me there is no down side to these crackers, they are my absolute favourite and I would strongly recommend them if you haven't tried them yet!

Lean Cuisine Fresh Inspirations

I say the quality is 'very good' and please understand that I mean that in the sense of froze food. Of course I prefer home made, fresh, but when I don't have the time, I love these Lean Cuisine dinners (and I'm not typically a fan of frozen meals.)
There's great variety in the meals available and I've liked the flavour of every one I've tried so far. I wish there was a whole grain pasta option, but other than that, no complaints. I do and will continue to buy these because the value is pretty good when you get them on sale, and they do go on sale quite a lot.
I recommend them.

The Gud line is from Burt's Bees and it contains no petro-chemicals, no parabens, no phthalates.
This lotion actually worked for my dry skin, moisturized and absorbed well. It also didn't cause any irritation as most scented products do. The scent was really nice.
I'm very fussy about body lotions and I'd buy this one again!
