I am reviewing the SimpleⓇ Micellar Cleansing Water as a part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club.
I am very happy with this product! The SimpleⓇ Micellar Cleansing Water is gentle and causes no irritation or stinging as most others do, but has all the power of a harsher cleanser. In just two days of use, twice a day, I have noticed a tightness and freshness to my skin, but noticed no significant effect on blemishes, redness, nor acne trouble spots. I am confident that this will change with further use, though, seeing how much dirt and oil is left on my cotton pad after use! Once more, SimpleⓇ company stays true to it's scent-free promise - guys, this literally smells and feels like water. But Holy Water, that removes evil in the form of dirt, grime, oil, and blackheads from your pores and leaves skin feeling oh-so-pure again.
♡ Gentle on skin.
♡ Scent-free, chemical-free, alcohol free.
♡ Removes oil, dirt, and leaves skin feeling tight, fresh, and clean.
♡ Retails around $6.99CAD - totally affordable!
SimpleⓇ brand proudly boasts about their products' kindness to skin while maintaining effectiveness on blemishes, dirt, oils, and make-up. For once, I feel as if a skin-care's confidence in its' products is well-justified. Worth a try, worth a buy!

I am reviewing the SimpleⓇ Micellar Make-Up Remover Wipes as a part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club.
These make-up removal wipes are absolute magic! They are like a "Mr. Clean Magic Eraser" for your face - of course, much friendlier to skin than scrubbing with one of those would be... SimpleⓇ Micellar Make-Up Remover Wipes do all that they advertise on packaging - "gently cleanses, instantly hydrates". The wipes are perfectly moistened and not drenched, nor dry. They have no scent, as described. Literally. It's like sniffing water when you smell one of these bad boys! The package is resealable to keep wipes moist and fresh. Quality-wise, I am amazed. I am a girl who wears thick make-up and dark mascara daily. It takes a good wash to remove all of my product, but one wipe not only cleaned my entire face... but did so in a SINGLE SWOOP. I am in love.
♡ Effective - removes make-up in one swipe, with one wipe.
♡ Perfect amount of moisture per wipe - not dry, not drenched.
♡ Gentle on skin and scent-free.
♡ Retails around $6.99CAD - totally affordable!

I waited months for Swiffer Wet-Jet's to go on sale - the original pricing is absolutely absurd. I finally purchased my unit for $19.99CAD at a Loblaw's store. Batteries were not included. With this purchase, you receive the Swiffer Wet-Jet, one jug of cleaner in Lavender and Vanilla, and eight disposable cleaning pads.
The smell of the cleaner is AMAZING! I can't get over how great it makes my house smell, even with the smallest squirt on the floor. However, immediately my Wet-Jet had a malfunction with the squirting tubes - the left was non-functioning, and the right was making a strange noise while spitting out tiny spurts of cleaner. I was really disappointed. I replaced batteries multiple times before turning to the Internet, and realizing that this was a common issue with the Swiffer West-Jet mops. Eventually, though, this issue resolved itself and my unit is now fully functional and usable! It cleans pretty well - better with the scrubby-pads. A great tool for hardwood and tile floors as it will not leave puddles of non-absorbed wetness to distort floorboards or lift tiling!
♡ Cleaner smells amazing - Lavender and Vanilla scent.
♡ Many units have defective sprayer(s) that eventually may or may not resolve on their own
♡ Gentle on hardwood and tile floors
♡ Expensive without sale
Though many of the units are defective at first, I would still say that this is worth the buy as the sprayer issues seem to resolve themselves.

McCain Onion Rings are an item I am sitting on the fence with. Tried them once, and they ended up soggy and plain gross... however, while visiting my parents, we had them prepared in a deep-fryer and they were heavenly. Just like a restaurant.
I guess it's all in the preparation, but seeing as I don't have a deep-fryer at home, I will not be purchasing these again.

I JUST made these, also in other varieties, for a friends baby shower! They made the perfect light snack for both the adults and the little ones. A huge hit! I also made grilled cheese smiley-sandwiches, and some with ham and cheese. I'm glad these are on here for Chicks to see, I found them on Pinterest and couldn't have been happier! -

These taste as if they were straight out of a restaurant! Love the pillowy inside and crispy, flavourful outside. The taste is simply amazing. We had these with breakfast one morning as a replacement to hashbrowns, and once as a movie-night snack with some chive-topped sour-cream! Both were splendid.
♡ Great taste and flavour
♡ Crisp outside, pillowy inside
♡ Fantastic quality and price
Definitely a great buy and worth a try! So many things you can do with these wedges.

Though I love the taste of the McCain "spicy" flavouring, I found that the McCain Lattice Cut Fries were oily and a little under-par for the brand! These are definitely the weak link in the McCain frozen fry product lines, in my opinion. Even when cooked to a crisp - which was a very uneven, burnt-edges crisp! - they left a greasy residue on the plate, and your hands if you so chose to use them (which I did... they're fries).
♡ Uneven cooking due to lattice cut
♡ Greasy residue
♡ Spicy flavouring is great
I would consider buying again as an on-sale item only. Not the best product.

Who doesn't remember eating Tasti Taters as a kid? Fluffy on the inside, crisp on the outside, and flavourful all the way through. A great-tasting addition to any breakfast, lunch, or dinner - my favourites being as a subsitute to patty-shaped hashbrowns, or alongside a grilled cheese sandwich! Tasti Taters are also an awesome snack on their own! Like all McCain frozen fry products, these are made with real potatoes and are comparably low in trans and saturated fats.
♡ Made with Real Potatoes
♡ Great taste, crisp outside and fluffy inside
♡ Go well with any course
We've all considered sticking a few in our pockets for later, like Napolean Dynamite. They are just that good!

I remember eating McCain Smiles often as a kid (we always called them Smiley-Fries). They were always a favourite, as they were so much fun to eat - especially when they came out with different "expressions" due to squishing! I still find myself picking up a bag now and again while shopping as an adult. Any snack or side-dish that can remain on your grocery list for twenty years is golden. True to the crispiness, flavour, and quality of all other McCain frozen products, these are definitely worth the buy or try.
♡ Crisp, flavourful fries
♡ Fun-to-eat and great for kids
♡ Can be pricey, but worth the extra dollars when you have them
McCain Smiles are a food-culture classic, and are bound to put a smile on the face of even the pickiest of eaters of any age!

Stacy's Pita Chips by Frito-Lay are my new favourite snack, especially paired with a good, flavoured hummus dip (I like Humm! as it seems to have matching flavours to the chips!). I have tried two of the available flavours, which are both delicately seasoned, crunchy, and filling. On their own, Stacy's Pita Chips can be bland. This is completely understandable, since they are meant for dipping! They still make a great grab-n-go snack, as they aren't so flavourful and salty that you are tempted to eat an entire bag. Additionally, and this is rare in the chip world, the bags are FULL!
♥ Delicately seasoned
♥ Great flavour options
♥ Crisp, filling and tasty
A great snack that all pita lovers need to try - and a perfect pairing for any hummus lovers out there!
