Chick Advisor sent me full sized samples in return for an honest review.
PowerBar ProteinPlus Reduced Sugar Creamy Chocolate Peanut Butter tastes a lot like Reese's with that amazing combination of chocolate and peanut butter.
Im a busy mom & breakfast for me is usually a rushed affair. I feel comfortable knowing that i can have one of these bars with my coffee and stay full. Throw some fruit on the side and youve got a pretty balanced breakfast/snack.
I also love the fact that its low sugar and high protein.
I would definitely recommend this for anyone who needs extra protein, anyone on the go and anyone who wants a better snacking option.

I received a full sized jar of AVEENO® POSITIVELY RADIANT® Overnight Hydrating Facial from Chick Advisor in return for an honest review.
I have 33 yr old South Asian with oily skin that is prone to breakouts with some sunspots and freckles. I have tried AVEENO® POSITIVELY RADIANT® Overnight Hydrating Facial for a week so far and here is what i found:
- my skin felt softer and smoother the next morning
- the lotion went on smoothly after my nightly shower with no streaking or smearing.
- it was not sticky and did not give me breakouts
Despite all of this though i wont buy this product and here is why:
- i feel that nights are when my skin is at rest and can absorb more from my moisturizer and as such i need it to do more. I want my moisturizer to moisturize of course, help with fine lines, smooth skin tone and soothe existing breakouts and this one doesnt fit the bill 100%.

I use cleaning wipes for quick tidying up like bathroom counters, kitchen counters, baby high chairs etc. I found these wipes to be smaller and thinner than my usual brand however they did pick up messes. They also left behind a lasting scent that was pleasing.
I was not able to verify antibacterial claims.
If i had to choose i would continue with my previous brand of wipes just because of its size and thickness.

OxiClean™ Colour Shield Laundry Stain Remover Works!
I was given the opportunity to test OxiClean™ Colour Shield Laundry Stain Remover for free in return for an honest review.
We do approximately 8 loads of laundry a week, most of it coloured and about 1/2 of it belongs to my 18 mth twins. I think ive seen almost every stain possible on their clothes so far.
OxiClean™ Colour Shield Laundry Stain Remover managed to get rid of all the stains on my heavily soiled toddler clothes without damaging the fabric or ruining the colour.
I soaked my laundry in a solution of one scoop OxiClean™ Colour Shield Laundry Stain Remover snd one Tide pod for about 12 hours then washed with two tide pods and anothet scoop of OxiClean™ Colour Shield Laundry Stain Remover. Note, ive got crazy hard water so i use more detergent that you might need.
Clothes came out fresh and stain free. One tub at walmart costs $10.98 which works out to 26 cents q scoop so very affordable for the results obtained.
Types of stains: tomato sauce, curry, orange juice, blueberry, baby formula with iron, dirt, ice cream ...and thats just naming a few!

OxiClean™ MaxForce™ Foam Laundry Pre-Treater got most stains out!
I received an opportunity to try OxiClean™ MaxForce™ Foam Laundry Pre-Treater for free and boy was i excited! I have twin toddlers and we do at least eight loads of laundry a week. The heaviest soiled clothes belong to the twins who wear a lot of white, pastels and coloured clothes. Stains come from food, dirt and grass for the most part.
I used OxiClean™ MaxForce™ Foam Laundry Pre-Treater on the following types of stains: strawberry, clementine, pasta, grease from buttered toast and just general grime from tottering about the house.
Our experience & findings:
Ease of use: I liked the idea of the foam dispenser but it was more time consuming to use as compared to the stick and spray. I applied the pre-treater and let it rest for about 12 hours.
Cost: Less than $6 for a bottle which can add up if you have a lot of clothes to treat. Its Great though if your laundry just has a few stains that need pre-treating.
Effectiveness: OxiClean™ MaxForce™ Foam Laundry Pre-Treater took out all the stains from clothes with the exception of the clementine juice stain however there was a noticeable lighter difference. OxiClean™ MaxForce™ Foam Laundry Pre-Treater did not fade or damage my clothes at all. After washing there was no detectable residue or stiffness from
OxiClean™ MaxForce™ Foam Laundry Pre-Treater.

I was amazed at how light but moisture rich this lotion was. It smooths into your skin almost instantly and gives you hours of moisture.
Its great for when you need to moisturize in a rush.
The only thing i dont like is the smell. I find its a bit too much for me.

I use these maxi pads on my very heavy flow days. They are super absorbent even when youre getting up really quickly after sitting or laying down for an extended time.
The pads and long and flared at the back and provide the best coverage hands down compared to any other pads on the market.
The only thing i would change is to make it as soft as infinity pads. After wearing them for an extended period of time it can also cause a bit of chaffing but that doesnt stop me at all.

I saw an in store product demonstration at costco that wowed me enough to make a $50 purchase.
Of course when i got home and went to work with it things were a bit different. Using it requires more elbow grease but it does work on things like grease from cooking.
What i use it for:
As a pre-treat for clothes.
And as a laundry detergent.
I mix it double strength and store it in an empty liquid detergent bottle.
If you have hard water or want to whiten whites you can use a cup of borax.
I also spray it on cupboard doors and kitchen walls to get rid of the greasy film that builds up.
Its also great as a carpet cleaner and as a everyday cleaner for things like mirrors and shower walls.
It didnt make the bottom of my pots gleam unfortunately.
I also wont use this to wash diapers or clean as it doesnt contain a disinfectant.
One large tub lasts a long time and is worth the price.

The glade wax melts warmer can be plugged into an electrical outlet anywhere in your home that needs some extra atmosphere or scent.
I found that they gently heat the wax for a long lasting scent that is consistent. When cooled the wax melt pops out of the warming tray easily with a butter knife.
Ive used both glade wax melts and also yankee candle tarts in my glade warmer with excellent results. Something to note though; i use 2 glade cubes each time in the warmer and i get over 2 weeks worth of use if i warm the wax a couple hours a day.
The warmer is kind of expensive to me at $15 from walmart but i got mine on sale for $9. The regular retail price is much better than other warmers out there though.

I have thin straight black hair that has been coloured for the past 15 years to give you an idea of what my hair type is like.
I coloured my hair according to package directions. To get good results, it is also important to pay attention to technique. I make sure all my hair is evenly covered, root to tip AND evenly saturated. Sometimes its good to have someone help with this part.
RESULTS: my hair is black so the colour doesnt look as noticeable as on the box except when the light hits it. Which is fine by me, otherwise i would have started by bleaching my hair first. My greys were covered but as they are naturally lighter than my real hair colour they created a bit of colour variation which i liked.
All in all, this is a good hair colour to use. The price is reasonable as well. I did have difficulty finding this precise shade as i tried two different Walmarts without success, a fortinos and then finally got it at shoppers.
