I've tried quite a few deodorants over the years and have become more and more concerned about the chemicals that some of them contain, especially aluminum. That's why I was so glad to have received a sample of the Schmidt's Rose + Vanilla natural deodorant from ChickAdvisor.
It's not only free of aluminum but also of propylene glycol, parabens, phthalates, and artificial fragrances. This particular scent is a sweet floral, which lasts quite a long time considering it comes from essential oils. The color is not your typical white but a light brown shade and the texture is somewhat grainy, most possibly due to the baking soda that's in it. If you don't know, baking soda is effective at absorbing and trapping odors.
I'm glad to say I was really impressed with how well it worked at preventing odor and my underarm skin felt moisturized after the very first use. The fragrance lasted for hours and although the texture is grainy, it didn't cause any discomfort or irritation. Most importantly, I had the peace of mind that I was only putting natural and beneficial ingredients on my skin! I'll definitely consider purchasing a full-sized product once I finish this sample!!

I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review. I was quite impressed with the quality of this camera, considering it is a toy. It doesn't have the best picture quality compared to a "real" digital camera, but it's pretty good for the purpose it was intended for, which is to keep the child curious and entertained. The camera itself is well-made and it didn't take long for the little one (4 years old) to learn how to use it independently. The green screen was fun to use, however, it wasn't the child's focus. Maybe this will change as they get older. They enjoyed simply filming themselves, as well as their surroundings, and were proud to show off their skills. The camera did zoom well and it holds an okay amount of memory, although, you may want to upgrade to a memory card with larger capacity. The battery was also pretty decent, as well, and I liked how easy the tripod was to set up. Overall, a great gift idea for encouraging creativity!! Keeps the child busy and entertained for quite some time! -

I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review. These wipes are really good for a baby's sensitive skin. The texture is soft and it contains 99% water, which gives peace of mind that you're not using a product full of chemicals. It cleaned up messes efficiently and was of the right size, too. Each wipe had enough moisture to clean properly and it didn't cause any dryness or irritation. I highly recommend these! -

This roasted seaweed was very tasty. They are lightly salted, not too oily, and very addictive! Although the seaweed sheets are very thin, I've never found any that were crumbled. There's a good portion in each pack, which kept me quite satisfied. You can eat them as is or add them to your ramen noodles as a topping. I prefer to eat them as a snack, though. Very healthy too! -

As we age, our hair can use a little extra TLC. If you're dealing with fine/thinning hair or scalp issues, I would recommend trying the Ducray Anaphase+ Shampoo. It includes a fortifying formula of vitamins and nutrients your hair needs to give it some added volume and strength, all while taking care of your scalp, which can sometimes suffer from inflammation and lead to hair loss.
After continuous use, I noticed less fallout and it really helped my scalp feel less irritated. I did notice the added volume and thickness, as well as regrowth in certain areas after about 2-3 months. It's a little pricey but you do get great value since you only need to use a small amount for each wash. My first bottle lasted me over 6 months! Of course, this can vary according to your hair length and washing frequency.

I received a sample of this product for free. Vege Greens by Progressive is definitely a convenient way to take in important nutrients and vitamins. The powder mixed well and it tasted quite green and refreshing. I'm not usually a big fan of mint but mixing it with cucumber is a flavor combination that worked well together. I'm happy that it contained all natural ingredients, too. -

I received this product for free as part of the Product Review Club. I was quite pleased with this soap. It has a pretty nice scent to it and I liked the light, foamy texture, which made rinsing very quick and easy. I had tried using it after a session of gardening and put the dirt-lifting qualities of the micellar formula to the test. I was pleasantly surprised that I didn't have to put in any extra effort to scrub off the dirt. Since I'm also constantly washing my hands, I appreciate that this formula didn't strip and dry out my skin either but left it feeling soft. I also love the fact that they've omitted parabens, sulfates and some other harmful ingredients from the formula. However, I do wish they would have done the same with the colored dyes. The pump worked fine and a little product goes a long way, so it's also cost efficient. Overall, a good product! -

This cleanser bar is effective at leaving your skin feeling fresh and clean. It gives you just the right amount of lather but not as much as some other soaps, which makes rinsing the product off very easy. Overall, it hasn't caused any redness but I did get breakouts after the first few times using it, which is weird because this product is meant for sensitive skin. I'm also not a fan of the way this cleanser bar smells. It's not unbearable but it does smell odd for a "soap". Luckily, it doesn't linger too long on my skin.
During the first few uses, it did dry out my skin in certain areas, which, again, is odd because this is supposed to be hydrating. However, after continuous use, it seems like my skin has balanced out and have not experienced that since. Generally, I'd say this product is okay if you're looking for a mild cleanser, but I don't think I'll be purchasing it again. It could do without the parabens, as well.

I very much enjoyed chewing this gum. The flavor of strawberry and kiwi mixed together is the perfect fruity combination. It's not overly sweet and it's a nice change to my usual mint-flavored varieties. On your first chew, you get a small burst of the syrupy center and the flavors disperse well as you keep chewing the gum. I also like how the size of each gum is almost double in volume.
Also, the amount of chew time for this gum is incredible. Most of the time, after chewing gum for 30 minutes or so, the consistency is much harder and difficult to chew, so I usually just end up throwing it out. The Trident Splash, however, lasted well past an hour and it was still soft and easily chewable. The flavor is not as pronounced as time goes on, but I found it didn't get overly bland either. I will definitely be stocking up on these in the future!

I received this product for free as part of the Product Review Club. Whenever I buy protein shakes, I always reach for the chocolate ones first, so I was glad this was included for me to try out. I liked how creamy and smooth this was and I found the taste to be just right in sweetness. Not chalky either but I have to say, I enjoyed this flavor better refrigerated than at room temperature. The 1 gram of sugar is what sold me with these products. For someone who is trying to lower their sugar intake, this is a good choice. Also very convenient packaging to be able to take this to work or travel with. -
