I've been using foaming soap for a long time, so I was happy to try another one! This soap was good, nothing very special. I thought the scent was all right, not my favourite. I generally prefer the scent of citrus soaps and this one smells a bit chemically. However, at a time where I have been washing my hands a lot more than usual, this one hasn't irritated my hands or dried them out. I got to try this one for free through the product review club. -

I got this product for free through family rated. I was excited to try it, as I have been trying of late to use less and less dairy in my cooking. I used the plant based bricks to make cookies, and wow! These worked a charm. The only thing I noticed is that this product melted a lot faster than regular butter, luckily the recipe I used called for vegan margarine, so this worked exactly the same way, but I think if the recipe needed a harder consistency, it might not have worked. Overall I was very happy with the result and will definitely look to use this again!
I'm excited to bring these cookies to my vegan friends and see what they think!

This was my favourite item that I got to review from Chick Advisor's eco box. This tea was very yummy and made a great hot tea AND a great iced tea. I can't wait to keep making this cold during the summer months. The tea is strong, and easily holds up to it. I'm also interested to try more flavours of tea pigs tea and will be looking for this the next time I'm in the grocery store. -

I have put this product through some vigorous testing, and have worn it while working out multiple times now and I have found it just isn't up to the task. Last week, I noticed it had left white stains all over the underarm area of my new shirt, and this week after a run, I noticed white stains all down my bare arms from where sweat had dripped down. Not the most attractive look. I won't continue to use this product.
I will go back to using a clear deodorant instead, and the fact that it masks the smell without clogging my pores or staining my clothes has been a lot more useful than this. I always appreciate an eco-conscious product, but it has to work too. This may be fine for just sitting around at home, but once you really put it to work, it isn't up for the task.

Garnier Fructis Repairing Papaya Treat Shampoo for Dry, Damaged Hair

I was a little worried when I got this, since I've been trying to cut down on using shampoo lately, so when I do use it, I need to to do some real work. Thankfully, treat shampoo was up to the task. I love the smell, and my hair doesn't feel too dry afterwards, as it maintains the natural moisture in my hair. I'll be happy to use this again! I'm especially happy to see the product uses naturally derived ingredients. If you're eco conscious, this is a good option, though it does still contain sulfates. -

I was so happy when I saw that I had gotten the chance to review this product through the product review club. I've been looking for a beauty mist lately, and having one fall into my lap was like fate. I've been working it into my routine over the last week, and it has been wonderful to have on these hot summer days to cool my face down and get that extra bit of moisture when I need it most. I'd say my only complaint is that I don't really like the perfume, but otherwise this product is perfect! -

I have been using this for a few days in addition to my regular skin care regime and I've noticed it has helped a lot! My skin is noticeably less dry and the cream feels great on my skin. My only issue is that the perfume is a little strong, and I would say it is a little old ladyish, but otherwise its a great product and I'm really happy with it. I'd recommend pairing it with a sunscreen, but otherwise it's a great item to add to your daily routine. -

This is the best Annie's Flavour! I have been eating this Annie's for years now and I have always liked this one the best, so when I saw a chance to review it for Family Rated through the product review club, I jumped at the chance. The cheese gets caught in the shells, and is just wonderful. They're such an easy addition to any dinner and they're so easy to make! -

I love Annie's! I've been eating Annie's for years, and it has always been my favourite boxed Mac and Cheese. I found that this new version has an even better cheese sauce than before. It used to be that sometimes the Annie's sauce wasn't quite creamy enough, but now it was perfect. I didn't know they could improve on it, but they definitely have.
Annie's is great for families, as it is quick and easy. It can be paired with many different meals and I got to try this for free through the product review club.

PowerBar Plant Protein Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter

I really loved these bars, and I will definitely be buying them again, but I think that out of the three, this flavour might have been the weakest. I still loved it, but it didn't have quite the punch of flavour that the other two did, but maybe that's because I'm not a huge peanutbutter fan. I'm still very happy that I got the chance to try these for free from the product review club. Thank you! I think that having more and more vegan options out in the mainstream is a great thing. -
