Thank you Chick Advisor and Butterly for selecting me for Garnier Canada’s new Shampoo Bar Campaign. I received a full sized 60g “Garnier Whole Blends Gentle Oat Delicacy Shampoo Bar for Delicate Hair” to try for free!
This is a wonderful green product. Garnier “commits to Green Beauty”. The packaging is made of 100% recyclable cardboard with Zero Plastic Waste. 97% Biodegradable. Cruelty-Free. Fast-rinse formula to help save water. This product is 94% Plant-Based. Made without animal-derived ingredients, preservatives and soap silicone. It is blended with plant-based ingredients, oat milk, and rice cream.
This product claims to “soften, nourish, and provide full care for your hair”. Initially I found the scent coming from the box overwhelming. I would give this product 5 stars if it wasn’t for the very strong fragrance. The scent was not bad smelling, just far too strong until the bar was wet.
I have used solid shampoo bars before. This shampoo bar was easy to use, and very gentle on my hair and skin. I wet my hair and the bar. The bar foamed quickly and the shampoo lathered very well. The product rinsed out quickly, as promised, and left no residue. It left my hair clean, tangle free, and lightly scented. My hair did not feel weighed down. My hair wasn’t left greasy or dried out. My scalp didn’t feel irritated or tight. I did not need to follow up with a conditioner. You could use this shampoo bar on your “bits & pits” if needed, as it was that gentle. Tried it.
I recommend storing the shampoo bar in a tin to keep it protected. This product should last a long time, up to “2 months or 48 uses” according to Garnier, if kept dry. Very cost effective, averaging under $6 a bar at most stores. I would absolutely buy this product and recommend it to everyone. If you are already a Garnier Whole Blends fan, definitely give this shampoo bar a try.

I was happy to try a 1.5ml sample of Covergirl Clean Fresh Skincare Weightless Water Cream. I got it for free from Chick Advisor/Butterly’s Mass Sampling Campaign. I applied the entire sample of this cream to my freshly cleansed face, and used it as a moisturizer. This product claims to offer “72HR Hydration”. You can also use Covergirl Weightless Water Cream as a Primer. My skin needs the hydration, especially during these long dry cold winter months. The scent is mild and pleasant enough. It does smell a bit like coconut and citrus. The packaging says that this product is “supercharged with electrolyte rich TruClean” (not sure what this is) cactus water and hyaluronic acid. It promises softer, smoother skin, and “hydration for days”. It certainly did moisturize my skin. It looks and feels like a gel-cream. Some gels can be drying, but this gel had a creamy texture. The product initially absorbed quickly into my skin, but left my face a bit sticky feeling. Perhaps I could have put less product on. It did not irritate my sometimes sensitive skin. It is suitable for all skin types. I like that this product is Cruelty Free, 100% Vegan and 90% naturally derived ingredients. Overall I think this Covergirl Weightless Water Cream did a good job moisturizing. The texture is not my favourite, but I do recommend it to people who prefer I light gel like moisturizer cream.

My family was happy to receive a Rubik’s Cube, the Original 3X3 Matching Puzzle from the Spin Master Game Collection. Our 9-year-old son is really getting into puzzle games, and this classic Rubik’s Cube is a perfect fit for the 8-year-old and up crowd. It’s a childhood staple. It’s a toy, puzzle & game all in one. I remember I couldn’t figure out the puzzle when I was a kid, and I still can’t. At least not yet. The challenge is real! “With 43 quintillion combinations”, it’s a very entertaining puzzle. It’s both frustrating and relaxing to play with at the same time! It’s fun to match up the colours. How many sides will you complete? How fast can you solve the puzzle?
I’m happy to see that this version of the original Rubik’s Cube is still a lot like the now vintage Rubik’s Cube from the 1980s. It still has coloured stickers on it, just better-quality and glossier stickers now. Makes it much harder to cheat (without the easy to peel off stickers). Not that I ever tried too cheat at this puzzle…. There is something so timeless and iconic about this humble cube. It’s no wonder the Rubik’s Cube is known as “The World’s No.1 Puzzle”.
We received this Rubik’s Cube for free from the Family Rated Club through the Chick Advisor program. Thank you very much for selecting our family for this opportunity to test out this fun game! #FamilyRatedClub #FamilyRated #gotitfree #SpinMaster #RubiksCube #SolvedMyRubiks

My family and I were pleased that we were selected to try Breyers Creamery Style Natural Vanilla Ice Cream. We are a good fit for this product review as we enjoy quality ice cream on a regular basis. Vanilla is my son’s favourite flavour! We love to support Canadian made products and have purchased Breyers ice cream before in both vanilla and chocolate flavours. We redeemed our free voucher from the Family Rated Club for a 1.66L carton of French Vanilla flavoured Breyers Creamery Style Ice Cream.
This is a very creamy ice cream, with almost a whipped texture. It’s made with fresh cream and real vanilla beans. I like how you can see the flecks of black vanilla bean in the ice cream. It looks and tastes real. It is made with all natural flavours and colours. This Breyers ice cream is Gluten Free and is crafted in Canadian Creamery with Antibiotic-Free milk and cream. It’s also “Rainforest Alliance Certified”. This ice cream has a lot to offer. While my husband and I prefer ice creams that have a more grown-up taste, this Creamery Style ice cream really is a hit with our son. He loves the French Vanilla flavour. “Very vanilla-y”. I recommend this sweet treat to all Canadian kids (young and young at heart), anyone looking for a Gluten Free ice cream, and mostly people who love a creamy textured ice cream.
Thank you very much for selecting our family for this opportunity! #BreyersVanilla #gotitfree #FamilyRatedClub #FamilyRated #ChickAdvisor #productreviewclub

My son and I were happy to review this fun Kinetic Sand Portable Playset from Spin Master toys called "Sandyland". We got it for free from the Family Rated Club through Chick Advisor. The Sandyland playset is made with natural sand, and comes with a total of 2lbs of Kinetic Sand. This includes 1lb of Brown Colored Kinetic Sand, 0.5lb Teal Colored Kinetic Sand, and the crowd pleasing 0.5lb Pink Colored Strawberry Scented Kinetic Sand. Additional sand sold separately. The playset also comes with over 15 Tools, including: 7 Molds for making sweet treats (like cupcakes, cookies & ice cream cones); 2 Stamps; 6 Toppings; a sheet of cardboard Punch-Outs, & one Spatula. We both like the handy case. You can play in it, then fold up your scene for quick storage. My son said there was enough sand in the kit, but he wishes that the Brown & Teal colored sands were also scented! He says the Brown Colored Kinetic Sand should smell like chocolate, and the Teal Colored Kinetic Sand should smell like vanilla. It would seem like a good fit for the playset. I think this Sandyland playset makes a great sensory toy for little kids ages 3 and up. My son enjoyed playing with this set, and thinks kids around 5 & 6 years old will enjoy playing with this set the most. Thank you very much for selecting our family for this opportunity to test out this fun game! #FamilyRatedClub #FamilyRated #gotitfree #SpinMaster -
a2 Milk™ 2% Partly Skimmed Milk

My family and I sampled a 2 L carton of a2 Milk 2% Partly Skimmed Milk instead of our regular 2% cow's milk. We drank it by the glass, used it in our bowls of cereal, and I also enjoyed making my healthy green smoothies with it. My husband and I noticed a slight change in the milk's taste. To us a2 Milk tastes a bit smoother and cleaner than regular cow's milk. It tasted fresh. It felt less heavy. Our 8 year old described the taste as being "lighter". What's different with a2 Milk? What makes it unique? Some people experience digestive issues (aka "tummy troubles") when they consume cow's milk. Science says this may be caused by the "A1 protein" found in regular cow's milk. This a2 Milk claims to mostly be missing the A1 proteins, and is made mostly of the A2 proteins. This means that using a2 Milk should not cause the same digestive symptoms associated with consuming regular cow's milk. My family and I did not experience any digestive issues while using this carton of a2 Milk. So, I could say it was easy on my digestion. Nutritionally, a2 Milk is similar to regular cow's milk, but it is more expensive to purchase. I would likely buy more @a2MilkCanada products in the future, especially if I found a2 Milk on sale, or had coupons for a2 Milk products. Yes, I would definitely recommend a2 Milk products to people who enjoy the taste of regular cow's milk, but do not want to suffer the digestive troubles that sometimes come with consuming it. Thank you @ChickAdvisor for letting me try this unique, innovative and tasty product! #trya2Milk #a2MilkCanada #gotitfree! #cadeau! #ProductReviewClub #ChickAdvisor -

This affordable Degree antiperspirant did what it claimed to do. It did not leave any white marks on my black/dark clothes! I don't wear white dresses or blouses, so I can't vouch for the no yellow stains claim. It is not something I've had an issue with. It sprayed on cool, if not a bit cold, but I found that refreshing. It did stay dry! On the downside, an aerosol spray is not the best choice for the environment. Don't inhale. For me this spray went on quickly and got the job done. I liked the scent, but is a little strong, and I would not recommend this for those with sensitivities. If you wear a lot of black or dark colored clothing, and dislike those embarrassing white marks, consider trying this product. Thank you Chick Advisor for sending me this product to review! #degreedryspray #gotitfree #ChickAdvisor #productreviewclub #Degree #degreeblackwhite #degreeantiperspirant -

My family and I were excited to try this new Chapman's Premium Pistachio and Almond Ice Cream. We often purchase Chapman's products for our young son. He was the only one of us disappointed with this new ice cream, simply because it was too nutty for him. Chapman's gave us a very creamy and grown up ice cream with this one. The pistachio flavour really comes through, and there are so many pieces of almonds in this. It looks/tastes natural, and is not dyed a bright green. I recommend this crunchy, sweet and savoury treat to nut lovers, and anyone looking for a quality Canadian ice cream. #TryChapmansCanada #ChapmansIceCream #gotitfree! #cadeau! -

I love this product! The scent is really pleasant. Sweet vanilla mixed with a rose bouquet, but not a traditional floral rose that can come across as dated. It melted instantly against my skin and glided on smoothly. Left a fresh powdery feeling, not sticky. I love that this is a natural deodorant that really works and smells great. Can't wait to try Schmidt's other Natural Deodorants. -
