I swear by this stuff!!
I switched the Saje's deodorant when I was looking for something natural. I hated the feeling of layering on your typical brand name stick deodorant and they always left my shirts stained after a few wears!
Saje's deodorant smells great and it doesn't clog your pores under your arms, plus no more stained clothes!
One thing to keep in mind though is that this deodorant is meant to eliminate odors from sweat, but won't actually stop you from sweating like your typical antiperspirants. I do find that depending on what I'm doing throughout the day I do need to reapply, but it's just a few quick spritz and I'm ready to go again!

I received Dove Shower Foam Shea Butter with Warm Vanilla Foaming Body Wash for free as part of the Chickadvisor Product Review Club for free in exchange for my honest review.
I wasn't a huge fan of the Dove foaming body washes.
I do like the idea of a foaming body wash, I'm a loofah girl so I don't really have an issue with getting a good foam with my normal body wash, but I can definitely appreciate a pre-foamed product for situations that I don't have my loofah. It's nice and sudsy to start which I think would be great when I'm traveling somewhere or staying overnight and I don't want to have to pack a loofah (I hate repacking it to go home if it's not completely dry!).
Dove boasts that you get 250 pumps from each bottle, which sounds great! I found myself using at least 5 pumps per shower so you'd get around 50 uses, definitely not bad.
The good stuff aside, this really wasn't a product for me.
When it comes to Dove products I've never been a fan of the scent they use. Of the three I tried though the Warm Vanilla was the one I liked the most. Like the others is still smells like their basic soap smell (that I find a lot of their products have as an undertone). I'm not sure exactly what it is, but it's somewhat flowery which are usually scents I stay away from. I found the vanilla scent to be a light hint of vanilla on top of the normal Dove scent. It added a nice touch to it, but still didn't mask that Dove smell for me enough. The nice thing is though I only noticed the scent while showering. Once I was out of the shower and dried off, it didn't linger.
The big no-go for me though was that I didn't really feel that it did that great of a job at moisturizing. It left my skin feeling tight after washing, and my arms were visibly dry. I know that being winter also has a bit effect on this and I do tend to have dryer skin this time of year, but my usual go to body wash seems to do the trick.
I might use this product again to keep in my travel bag, but it definitely will not be joining my regular daily routine.

This is the most amazing tea ever. I love black teas and I LOVE cinnamon. This tea tastes like a hot cup of cinnamon. The flavour is very strong. I love it because there is no sugar added, and you don't need to add any sugar either. The cinnamon gives it a great sweetness all on its own. Definitly a must buy tea for anyone that likes cinnamon.
Anytime I'm drinking it someone makes a comment on how amazing it smells. It's perfect for a cold winter day.
Another bonus is that because the flavour is so strong, you don't need to use a lot of the tea when making a cup, and can probably get a few cups out of one serving.

I love my Contigo water bottles. I bought a 3 pack from Costco and use them everyday! They usually come in bright fun colours.
The lids are what make the product. They are spill proof and work great. You have to push a button on the back to be able to drink from them, they also have a lock switch so that you can lock the bottle when you're not using it so the button on the back cannot be accidentally pushed while in your bag. It also has a clip so that you can attach/clip the bottle to the outside of a bag.
The lid also has a piece on the inside that pops open so that you can ensure it really does get cleaned when you wash the bottle.
I've never had an issue with my Contigo bottles leaking, they are by far the best water bottles I've come across.

Like most Vaseline products I really like this one. It leaves your skin feeling soft and moisturized but not greasy. The size of the bottle is also great for throwing in my bag to bring along with me for the day. The scent isn't too overpowering, I'm not really a fan of flowery scents, because of this I'll usually pick other Vaseline products first over this one. -

I received Vichy Idéalia Day Care for free as part of the Chickadvisor Product Review Club for free in exchange for my honest review.
First off, I really liked the packaging of this cream. I felt that it looked elegant, something that you would want to leave out on your counter-top. Being a jar it was also very easy to get just the right amount that I wanted to use.
I found this cream to be comparable to others that I have used. I liked that the scent was fairly light, it wasn't very noticeable once the product was applied and didn't bother me like some others do. It also did not leave my face feeling greasy or or wet, but still was very hydrating and soft.
It's a little out of my price range so I may not buy it again in the future, I do have other moisturizers that do the job for me, but overall I did like this product.

I received Vichy Pureté Thermale 3-in-1 One Step Cleansing Micellar Solution for free as part of the Chickadvisor Product Review Club for free in exchange for my honest review.
I was really happy with this cleansing solution! I've been using it every night before bed in my face care routine since receiving it.
The first thing I liked is that there isn't a strong scent to it, it's very light and fresh. I also like that it doesn't leave a heavy / wet / soapy feeling on my face after using it compared to another Micellar water I had tried a few months prior. It does a great job at picking up dirt on my face and is really good for removing my mascara and eyeliner at the end of the day, as well I found just a bit of the product goes a long way. I also liked to use a bit mid day as well, especially on a warmer day to kind of freshen up my face a bit.
This is definitely a product I'll continue to use, it works great and the price tag is pretty reasonable compared to other Vichy products.
