It was really tricky finding the Canadian Desserts Sugar Pie flavour in store. But boy am I glad I did.
By far, my favourite thing is the crunchy maple sugar pieces. I like to add texture in my ice cream so this was a pleasant surprise.
Aside from the stock issues, this flavour was a win and I could see myself driving to 4 different stores to get it again.

And yes, The Breyers Creamery Style Natural Vanilla is a simple flavour, but it’s not boring.
It delivers on the claim of being creamy and tasting natural.
Because I like texture in my food, I would probably add candy pieces to this next time. I also think it would be a delicious base for a milkshake.

I’m not usually a fan of ice cream cones, but I do love Chapmans.
While the super cone twisters themselves are nothing unusual or life-changing, they are yummy and that’s all that matters to me.
My favourite part is the crunchy chocolate 🍫 topping. (Psst, could you guys make a cone out of that?)
And, what do you do when there’s 2 different flavours? Why you try them both, of course!

I’m a fan of plant-based food. I am a long-time vegetarian, so when I see a new product to try that is plant-based I do get a little excited to try it.
I didn’t notice any difference in texture or flavour from regular butter. It didn’t change the cake in any respect.
Cooking with it, there was no issues with the process, nor again, taste.
On toast, it was great. It tasted just like butter. Price-wise, it is on par with similar products.
It was an excellent substitute for butter.

Aveeno Repairing CICA Foot Masks
It was a perfect day to relax with a good book, cup of tea and the Aveeno Repairing CICA Hand & Foot Masks. @aveenoca #tryAveenoCrackedSkinRelief @chickadvisor #chickadvisor #gotitfree #cadeau #selfcare
The Good: If you have even used exfoliating foot socks, I was thinking that these would be “drippy” like that. These were not at all messy to use, as mentioned with the non-drip claim. I loved how instantly moisturizing these felt. Both my feet were hydrated.
The Bad: I did not like the tabs on the socks. On one of them, I could not get the paper covering to come off and ended up ripping the material or tabs. When I did get them to come off, they wouldn’t stay closed. I had the same issue with the gloves.
The Meh: There is a concern about the waste created by using single-use socks, and the additional packaging. My preference would be if Aveeno sold reusable cotton socks and an extra strength moisturizer that you could purchase separately. For that reason, I think I would save purchasing these for when I was planning a self-care day or girls night in.

It was a perfect day to relax with a good book, cup of tea and the Aveeno Repairing CICA Hand & Foot Masks. @aveenoca #tryAveenoCrackedSkinRelief @chickadvisor #chickadvisor #gotitfree #cadeau #selfcare
The Good: When I opened the packaging, I expected there to be an excess of liquid similar to sheet masks. That did not appear to be an issue with these. I loved how instantly moisturizing these felt. The Shea butter feels heavenly on my “winterized” skin.
The Bad: The sticky straps were a pain to use. With both gloves, I was not able to get the paper covering to come off and ended up ripping the material or tabs. When I did get them to come off, they wouldn’t stay stuck to the glove and close.
The Meh: My preference would be if Aveeno sold reusable cotton gloves and an extra strength moisturizer that you could purchase separately. I did not like the idea of the environmental waste created by using single-use gloves. For that reason, I think I would save purchasing these for when I was planning a self-care day.

Is it sad I got excited about a lotion? No, not since its been a long dry winter. When the Aveeno Positively Radiant Body Lotion arrived in my Chickadvisor box, I quickly put it to work.
Price wise, this lotion is reasonable at $9.97. I find that Aveeno seems to go on sale frequently at my local Shoppers and Rexall, so definitely look out for a deal.
It applies smoothly (like you would expect a lotion to, of course) and leaves my skin feeling soft. I especially like it as a hand lotion. I've actually added it to a travel bottle in my purse.
The one thing that I have to take marks off for is the smell. It is too strong for me to use all over, so I do avoid my shoulders, so that I'm not smelling it all day. I don't know if I would purchase this one again, but I would try a different scent.

The Aveeno Positively Radiant Exfoliating Bosy Wash works just like any other body wash, no surprises there. The scent is subtle enough, a fact that I appreciate because overly scented products irritate my skin.
I'm happy to see that the exfoliating property of this is due to walnut and not plastic microbeads. Now that might be a downside for some because it is not an especially strong exfoliation, but I prefer that.
I haven't used it long enough to tell if it is leading to 'radiant skin' as described on the bottle, but I feel like my dry winter skin is now softer.

As a vegetarian, I appreciate that Nude by Nature’s products are 100% naturally derived and cruelty free, including the #11 Mineral Brush.
The bristles of this brush are soft and picked up the product nicely. It also feels soft against my skin.
Just a word of caution though, my brush smelled a little ‘chemically’, so you might want to wash yours prior to using it. I had no problems with shedding bristles when I did so.
I would love to try other brushes by this brand.

Firstly, I am very excited to have access to new makeup that’s available at the drug store. Being a w.o.c. I am often relegated to the big beauty store to find a good colour match.
Sometimes I don’t want to wear a full face of foundation and just feel like going ‘nude’, like with the Nude by Nature Radiant Loose Powder Foundation in W7 Spiced Sand.
The shade is a little too dark for my skin at the moment, but should be a good match in the coming months. I did have a little trouble figuring out my proper/closest shade match online, so I would love to see some swatches on skin rather than just a chart on the main website.
