I was selected to try this product through the product review club. I applied the dove 'go sleeveless' antiperspirant/deodorant each morning and night, as I work in a fast paced environment and am extremely active on my days off (ie 4hr of kayaking, runs, etc). I found that this product left no residue behind on my clothing which is great; however, I found that the deodorant properties failed. At the end of the day there was more-so than usual BO (in comparison to my previous brand of deodorant). This was disappointing and became frustrating. The antiperspirant properties worked well enough. Overall, I would only recommend this as a product if you were looking for a stick for use in a casual setting when your main concern would be stains on clothing, but not for use when participating in intense cardio activities. -

I was one of the members selected to receive and review a DQ Custom Blizzard Cake. I hosted a CFL party on Saturday and had a house full of hungry men, so was happy to hear that I had one less item to prepare for the party. I chose to have a customized Mint Oreo Blizzard Cake made in advance for the party. I pre-ordered the cake online and was somewhat disappointed with the lack of available customization options. I had the option to add text (limited characters), and select color and type of frosting for text. I was hoping for at least an image database, much like their in store flip book, but was sadly disappointed. this limited customization was met with bland reviews at the party. The taste however was delicious, as expected, and everyone loved it. I served approx 12 hungry men with the large cake, with plenty to spare.
The in store experience was dry, as I was met by muttering teenagers unable to look a customer in the eye. unfortunately this is the new norm for said generation anyway. I did receive my cake in a timely manner and was in and out the door within just a few minutes which was nice.
overall, I would certainly purchase a DQ blizzard cake again, however I would order the cake in store to give myself more control over the customizing options. The price of DQ cakes are known to be high in comparison to store-brand ice cream cakes, of which I cannot compare in taste as I have not sampled others

The quality of the peanut butter is great, as you would expect from Kraft. I received this product via promotion and did not have a choice in flavor. Not being a big fan of faux-banana flavouring, I am not a fan and nor is my significant other. I am very curious about their honey flavour. that being said, I am a fan of simply adding real honey, or jam, or real banana slices. I'm not convinced this product is necessary or will last once it's novelty wears off. -

I received this product in the mail as part of a promotion. I LOVED it! I have been using the quarto for some time now and have since been converted to this 5-blade beauty! It GLIDES over curves, leaves my skin smooth with no irritation whatsoever. It has lasted an incredible full 3 uses thus far, and has shown no signs of letting up yet. I am blown away and have been raving about this razor since it's arrival. -

Works great as the gel sticks to the bowl and can therefor sit for a few minutes while it takes action against that cursed ring stain from hard water. I can almost always find it on sale for $2 or under, and it lasts quite a while. the tilted applicator allows it to get under the edge of the bowl which used to be a hard-to-reach area. -
Dawn Ultra Antibacterial Hand Soap and Dish Liquid
I always buy Dawn dish soap. It does a great job, washes away cleanly and easily and the added bonus is that they support wildlife rescue. It's an all around great product.

Tim Hortons Iced Coffee
Delicious thanks to all of that heavy cream added. It's a great treat for a hot summer day, but certainly not a daily purchase.

This is by far the best foundation out there! It is worth every penny as you get what you pay for. I have always used Estee Lauder products and have introduced several friends to their line as well. This is a brand of make up that you can and will use for life. The Double Wear foundation stays in place (as the name suggests), but breaths so that your face doesn't break-out with daily use. I recommend this to everyone! -

St. Ives® Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub
It works well as an exfoliant, leaving you with a clean face feeling; however, I personally prefer a product containing an ingredient similar to ASA to combat inflammation in the skin from blemishes.
