I received this product for free to sample , and unfortunately it arrived at a difficult time in my life undergoing some drastic and unexpected changes that may have affected my stress levels to a point where it was hard to determine if this natural activated charcoal was helping and my system was just overloaded. I will be trying this again once my system is less stressed. Personally, I thought it worked well for delaying the symptoms of gas and bloating , so it would be great for a party or events or for travelling. I ended up having the symptoms show up still, but just later than I expected. I also did not take the maximum amount of pills for the day as I take so many medications already. So, my overall rating on this is a temporary okay in that I did feel better right after meals that I expected to feel bloating , gassy, overly full, or pressure in my gut. When I took a second dose 2 hours later it also helped a fair bit. -

I liked the simplicity of the ingredients in Glute Guard and the package was small enough to tuck into my purse for meals out. My typical formulas for accidental gluten have a little more ingredients / enzymes to help digest any accidental gluten without issues. I did not experience any issues after my meals with Glute Guard, however I did order gluten free anyway, so it might be hard to tell how well it worked. Depending on the price and availability, I would consider buying Glute Guard again in the future. My other formulas also allow for taking immediately before the meal, whereas you need a 15 minute window first with Glute Guard (which isn’t bad if you’re ordering at a restaurant anyway). -

I received a sample of Cran-Max for free. I love that these cranberry max supplements are free from artificial colours, flavours, or sweeteners, gluten, yeast, dairy, and preservatives. Getting the equivalent of 8 - 10 ounces of cranberry juice concentrate in each caplet is great. The only problem I had, was that I found them very dry and difficult to swallow. I do have throat issues, so maybe that was just me, but a capsule would have been better for me than a caplet.
Whether or not it helped with recurrect UTIs is hard to tell. I was running to the bathroom less often , so hopefully it was helping support my bladder health.

I enjoyed this immune boost with vitamin c and zinc as I’m always looking for ways to help keep colds at bay since I have several autoimmune disorders. I loved that these Sambucol gummies had no artificial color or flavor and are gluten free too ! I thought the taste was pretty good too. Gummies make a nice option for those of us that don’t like taking more pills.

I was so excited to be chosen to try this new shampoo bar with 95% plant based ingredients , however I couldn't even try it. Just opening the box triggered an anaphylactic reaction as my lips and throat started to swell. I'm not sure what's in it,but I guess I'm allergic. Thanks for the opportunity to try it though ! #gotitfree #GarnierShampooBar -
Dove Care by Plants – Sandalwood
I love that this new deodorant line is plant based !! It's so nice to have more natural options available in a world so full of chemicals. The sandalwood is not for me, but I like the sounds of some of the other options.

I was quite surprised to find this new plant based butter worked just like traditional butter in the baking and cooking recipes my husband and I tried it in. It's smooth and creamy and the taste is nearly the same as butter. I expected it to be oily, but it wasn't. I would look for this product again at the store , especially since the price was similar to other butter bricks anyway. Thumbs up on an alternative to butter Becel. -

I received a sample of Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair retinol oil to review from Chick Advisor. I found it light and easy to apply and was fun to use. It has a lovely little dropper container so you can apply just the lightest touch of this oil, which smoothes into the skin very quickly. It has no greasy after effect, but just a light feeling on the skin. I thought the scent was a little heavy as I prefer no scent in my daily products, but the smell disappears after about an hour or so. I would recommend this product as it did make my skin look and feel softer and younger after just one week. -

I quite liked the Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair prep cleanser formula. It's a nice, rich, creamy cleanser with gentle exfoliants to help remove dead skin cells and prepare the skin for the next step (the retinol oil). It has a very soft scent , although I would prefer scent free, that was pleasant and light. I would recommend this cleanser as a nice first step in preparing for the repair oil. I did notice a difference in my skin texture after one week. It feels softer and smoother and fine lines seem less noticeable. -

I was very happy to sample Neutrogena's hydro boost body gel cream ! I have very dry skin from the rough winter we had and I was really excited to see that this product is fragrance free too. I found the cream a little watery, but it absorbed well and provided gentle moisturizing with no scent. I used it primarily on my arms, legs, and feet. I felt that it was a decent product and did what I expected it too. I would likely buy this again if the price was right. Definitely a nice addition to my skin routine. -
