This hand soap exceeded my expectations. It leaves my skin soft and silky instead of dry like my usual hand wash. It smells incredible and foams really well. The only thing that would prevent me from purchasing is the container itself as I'm not a fan of how it looks on my counter. If they could hurry up and come out with a larger refills type bottle I would switch to this hand soap immediately. -

This product really surprised me out of all the ones I was sent to test. I thought I would like this product the least because it contains SLS which is a product I actively avoid in my products. The shampoo comes in a great bottle that fits well in my hand and makes getting product out easy. It smells amazing and the scent lingers in my hair which I love. My hair came out soft and smooth which was another great bonus. I'm unsure if I would purchase this product again because it contains SLS so it really isn't as "natural" as the brand is trying to make it out to be. I think if they re-made the formula and made it actually natural I would give it a chance. For now I will stick to my all natural shampoo and conditioner that are without chemicals. -

I honestly really wanted to love this product when I received it to try. Unfortunately, I just couldn't get myself to like it no matter how long I stuck with it. The smell is subtle and I actually enjoy the scent, but the deodorant itself doesn't last long enough to provide a full day of protection. I couldn't even go on leisurely walks without smelling like BO and I'm not an overly sweaty person. I highly doubt this would work on anyone that sweats a lot or naturally has a stronger smell. It also leaves white streaks under my armpits when I applied it and the packaging itself would always end up with white clumps of deodorant when I would close it so I was constantly wiping excess product from the lid area. There are many other natural deodorants that work much better than this product unfortunately. -

This face cream actually really surprised me when I received it to try. I loved the subtle rose smell and how moisturizing it was on my skin without making my face look greasy. My only complaint is geared toward the packaging and not really the product itself. The bottle is super hard to get the right amount of product out. I'm not sure if this is just because of the sample size of the bottle or if the full size is similar but this packaging definitely needs a rethink. I've had a couple mornings where the product just wouldn't squeeze out and then once I tried a bit harder it ended up all over the floor and counter. I'm not a fan of wasting products or having to struggle to get them out so just the packaging alone would make me avoid purchasing in the future. -

This tea came in really great recyclable packaging and smelled heavenly. I ended up not being a fan of the fruity tea flavour that I was sent to try. I may try it cold to see if I like the fruit flavour better chilled rather than hot as I tried it. Based off the quality and packaging of what I received I would definitely look into purchasing other flavours (they have a chilli chai that sounds amazing) from this brand. -

I like this mop for an every day quick clean up. It’s a bit flimsy and feels like the bottle portion may break at any time but overall it gets the job done and is smaller and lighter than a mop. For me that’s a plus as storage space is at a minimum! I’m not sure if this would be great for larger spaces or more heavy duty cleaning but for a quick swipe of the floor it works great. -

This was my favourite bar of the two because I love caramel and that hint of salt. This was a great after workout snack that felt more like a treat. The bar was quite filling on its own so there was no need for any additional snacking after my workout. -

I’m always weary of protein bars as I find they always taste chalky or dry. This bar had a great consistency and great flavour. I kept these bars to enjoy after a workout and one filled me up. It tasted great and felt more like I was eating dessert than an energy bar. I would highly recommend these bars to anyone. -

I received this product to test out as part of ChickAdvisors review program. This was my least favourite of the two. I found it extremely dry and lacking flavour. It made my mouth feel pasty and I thought it had a weird aftertaste that I couldn't place. I had to drink a ton of water to get through the bar. The only positive was that it was filling. I would not go out of my way to purchase this one again. There are so many better tasting bars out there. -

I received this product to test out as part of ChickAdvisors review program. This was my favourite power bar of the two. It was like eating a healthier version of a chocolate bar. It was quite heavy and filling as a post workout snack which is what I look for. I usually make my own protein bars so this was a nice change to try something different. Overall it is something that I would eat again, but I would look to buy in bulk at say Costco to save on the cost a bit as they are a bit on the pricey side when I compare to making my own protein bars at home. They would be great to have on hand for travel so I may purchase them for on the go travel snacks since they travel well. -
