I was given a free sample of Purgrains in exchange for my honest review.
The package is extremely convenient to use and is ready to eat within 2 minutes, 90 seconds in the microwave and 30 seconds to rest.
It is the perfect addition to quick weeknight meals while still keeping things nutritious. I paired mine with sautéed shrimp and veggies.
The flavour was good, very unique with just the right amount of spice. This would pair well with Asian, Mexican, or Indian cuisines.
Value-wise, it is pretty expensive, but would definitely be worth it for the convenience factor. I may purchase again.

I was offered a full value coupon from chickadvisor to try Realemon Garlic Infusions for free in exchange for my review.
It was very helpful that they also included recipe cards.
The bottle of garlic infusions was much smaller than the original realemon juice. It was much more expensive per ml than the larger bottle as well.
The quality of the product seemed consistent with what I would expect from Realemon juice.
The flavour that was added to my meal really only tasted like lemon to my palate. I was hopeful for a more robust garlic flavour as well.
I likely would not buy this product again, but will find ways to use the remainder of the bottle. It is not likely a product I would purchase again when I can buy a bottle of realemon juice that is not infused with garlic flavour and use it for other dishes that are both sweet and savoury.

I was asked to try Premier Protein Caramel shake for free in exchange for my review.
This shake is sweet, creamy, fresh-tasting, and not at all like other powdered protein supplements!
I drank it in the morning and it kept me full for hours without any sugar crash mid-morning.
They area bit expensive to purchase regularly, but if using as a meal replacement and you purchase at Costco, it works out to just over $2 each.
I really enjoyed the caramel flavour as an alternative to coffee creamer. Premier Protein provides all of the rich, creamy flavour without a small fraction of the calories.
I would definitely buy these again and have already been sharing with friends!

I received a coupon from ChickAdvisor for a free 12 pack of Diet Canada Dry Cranberry Ginger Ale in exchange for my review.
I have always loved cranberry flavoured soft drinks, but none ever came in a sugar free version and I could never justify the calories of the regular.
This new flavour is amazing! It's not overly sweet, is bubbly, with a lively fruity flavour. It doesn't have the aspartame aftertaste that can be present in diet beverages.
The flavour is subtle, but really does feel festive! It's a gentle pink colour that would compliment holiday gatherings and would likely pair well with spirits (although I personally do not drink).
The price was the same as other 12-packs of soda.
The diet version was incredibly challenging to locate for me (even in a large city), so if you're lucky enough to find it, I would stock up!
I sincerely hope this flavour is available in the coming years.

I was given the Aveeno Clear Complexion Peel Off Face Mask free to try in exchange for my opinion and review.
The mask goes on as a gel liquid, goes on smoothly, smells nice and is easy to spread. It takes about 15-20 minutes to fully dry.
After drying, the mask is easily peeled away and you can instantly feel softer, smoother skin. If you have any of those fine facial hairs, this can be a little tender when peeling off so the quicker the better!
I noticed no irritation immediately afterward or the following morning.
This product is a great value in comparison to seeking masks and peels in a spa. It does not appear to have had any pore-cleaning effects.
This would be a great product for those looking to create a relaxing spa experience at home on a budget.

I was very excited to be offered the opportunity to try Breyers Delights Caramel Brownie free in exchange for my review. The idea that ice cream having only 90 calories per serving was available was intrigued to me!
Unfortunately, Breyers missed the mark on this one. The taste is extremely artificial and left a sweetener aftertaste on my tongue. There was almost a maple-like taste to it, although i couldn't tell from the ingredients qhy that would be. Honestly, if it weren't because I agreed to review the product, once I read the ingredients, I didn't even want to try it. It is chock full of the ingredients that I do my best to avoid.
On a positive note, the little brownie pieces were nice and chewy and actually did taste chocolatey. The texture overall was very nice, soft, and very much like regular ice cream.
I will be sticking to choosing full calorie ice cream as a treat in the future.

I received this product free to use and review by Chickadvisor.
The shampoo is rich and thick and lathers beautifully. It rinses cleanly and left no residue behind. My hair felt clean without the dry "stripped" feeling you can get from some shampoos.
Once dry, my hair was soft, silky, with noticeably less frizz. My typically itchy and flaky scalp did not seem worse afterward.
I don't think this shampoo provided anything extra in terms of texturizing, but it didn't make achieving a texturized look any more difficult.
The scent is quite strong and lingers through the day.
It would be an average value compared to other brands. I do love that it is cruelty free.

This hairspray comes in the coolest bottle! I was intrigued by the description of "powered by air" and noticed that instead of an aerosol bottle (which it looks like), there is a disc that rises when you push the trigger. Very neat. And it works very well.
The spray smoothed out my frizzy stray hairs and held most of the day (5-6 hours). It did not cause breakouts along my hairline (which a lot of hairsprays do). When I took my hair down at the end of the workday, my hair was not stiff or sticky and the spray did seem to have texturizing effect which was quite nice. I look forward to trying it out on my hair left long now that the weather is warmer.
The spray was not sticky on contact and dried quickly.
My only problem was the scent. It is very strong and stays strong all day. I work in a scent free environment and it would not be appropriate there.
As far as value, i do think it is a little pricey, as I can now tell with just two weeks of daily use, the bottle will not last nearly as long as others.

I recieved this conditioner free from Chickadvisor to try and share my review.
This conditioner is thick and luxurious in texture. It melts into my hair and rinses cleanly. It did not help with detangling as much as other conditioners, but did help some.
Once dry, my hair was silky, smooth, and frizz was noticeably lessened than when I use other products.
My typically itchy and flaky scalp was not worsened by this product either, which is a bonus.
It is a bit more expensive than other products on the market, but I don't think it is entirely out of line. It is definitely higher quality than most "drugstore" brands.
My only issue was the scent. I didn't really enjoy it and it was very strong. It seemed to linger through the day also.
I would definitely try other scents of this product.

I received a coupon to try Dempster's Everything Bagel for free and share my review.
The bagels are a bit smaller than the ones I usually buy. They smell wonderful and slice nicely. They toast up nicely. The taste is a little bland, but the onion/sesame flavour is there, but subtle. The texture is okay; however, I prefer a bagel that is chewier. These bagels were a bit on the drier side.
Overall, for a readily available grocery store product, they are good, although I probably wouldn't buy them often. If they were on sale, they would be a nice treat.
