I am always trying different bath products, body washes, etc. and I wanted something that was gentle on my sensitive skin but still moisturizing, without being too strongly scented so it didn't interfere with my perfume, lotion etc. so I decided to try this. I trust the Dove brand, and I figured this wouldn't disappoint. I was right. This was gentle, no discernible scent, lathered nicely and left my skin feeling clean and soft. The only reason I didn't give this a 5 in terms of quality is that it's almost TOO creamy for me. It can be hard to wash off in the tub (might be different in a warm shower though, but I typically take baths). But the upside of that is that it is very moisturizing and rich on the skin, so it's a small trade off! I might purchase this again, but I might also try some of the yummy scents this product comes in, for a change up! -

I receive this as a free sample in the mail and decided to try it on a whim, when the 3pm snack attack hit and I didn't want to go for something junkie. I was SO plesantly surprised. This was amazing! Chewy, not-too-sweet (but sweet enough) with delicious bits of dark chocolate and salty peanuts, in addition to the healthy stuff like hemp seeds, chia seeds, brown rice syrup (instead of refined sugar) and more. I am definitely going to be on the lookout for these in the stores!!
I cannot really comment on the price as I didn't pay for the bar I sampled.
I would definitely recommend these bars! They are Vegan and GF, too!

Jamieson ProVitamina E

I first purchased this following surgery to repair a broken femur, on the advice of my doctor's nurse as a way to reduce the appearance of the scar. I don't know how much it did to help that, but it certainly didn't hurt. This cream is too rich for my oily facial skin, but I do use it on my hands. It's very rich and it takes awhile to sink into the skin, but once it does it leaves the skin feeling very moisturized and nourished. This is great for dry elbows, too. Not sure I would buy it again only because it is a bit pricey and my skin is generally not in need of such a rich cream, but I will use up the jar I do have. -
VH Japanese Teriyaki Stir-fry Sauce
This was just OK. Convenient for sure, and it was easy to use, but it was a tad salty for my taste. My 8yo didn't love it, either, which I was surprised by given that she typically likes most things. I think I would prefer to use another brand, or... +
This was just OK. Convenient for sure, and it was easy to use, but it was a tad salty for my taste. My 8yo didn't love it, either, which I was surprised by given that she typically likes most things. I think I would prefer to use another brand, or even to make my own sauce rather than use this product again. -
PC World of Flavours Butter Chicken Pizza

I made this for dinner to share with my 8yo, who loves Indian food as much as I do. The pizza was small, so if you are feeding more than 2 people (especially if both are adults) I would suggest getting more than one. However, the taste was yummy! Not too spicy, so if you like things hotter, I would consider adding sriracha to your piece (which is what I did). I cooked it at the lower end of the time indicated (11 minutes) in my gas oven and it came out very crispy -- almost too crispy for me, but that's just preference. My only complaint is that it could have done with a few more pieces of chicken. Other than that, it was delicious. I would buy his again. -

Bought this in advance of baseball and soccer season in my family, and tested it out on the MS Walk. It goes on much like a moisturizer, but with a slightly thicker consistency. I was worried that it would be uncomfortable on the face because I have sensitive skin, but it's not at all. It absorbed into the skin almost instantly and I didn't even notice it on the skin other than how soft my face felt!
I tend to burn quite easily, and I was also on photosensitive antibiotics at the time I tested this out, and I did not get burnt! I would say this product is a keeper.
It's a bit more pricey than other sunscreens but I would pay the money again and again to protect my face.

Adrien Gagnon Decadent Fudge Nutriforme Bars

These were GREAT! Very chocolately and tasty. Not at all like a "typical" meal replacement bar. I find with other bars I have to "power through" to get past the less-than-stellar taste. Not with these. They were more like eating a fudgy chocolate bar.
I received this product free from ChickAdvisor for review.

Adrien Gagnon Super Energex
First things first: Mix this with juice! Otherwise, you may not like the taste. It's very herbal and almost medicinal tasting, but if you mix it with juice (I had it with cranberry juice) it isn't bad. Not something I would have every day, but... +
First things first: Mix this with juice! Otherwise, you may not like the taste. It's very herbal and almost medicinal tasting, but if you mix it with juice (I had it with cranberry juice) it isn't bad.
Not something I would have every day, but great for if you need a little extra boost to get you going to tackle your to-do list on any given day! Natural ingredients, so it's not like other "energy" products that aren't good for you.

I had heard amazing things about this product, so I decided to give it a whirl and see if it would help my dry hands. The good news: It does help. It's creamy and rich but it doesn't stay greasy on the skin. I use it every night before bed and does a good job. The bad news: The scent. I know a lot of people love the scent of this but I just don't. It's too floral or sweet or something. It's not offensive and it does go away, but it's not something that I smell and say "oh, that smells so good!"
Overall, I would recommend it for a good all-purpose hand cream. Not sure it's that much better than slightly cheaper brands, though. I probably will not repurchase just based on the scent and the fact that it doesn't do anything amazing for my skin.

If you are looking for a quick portion controlled lunch, this are pretty good. The varieties are hit or miss for me, though. I quite like the General Tso's Chicken one because it packs a bit of a spice punch, but some of the others are a bit sweet for my taste. As far as frozen meals go, these are pretty good, not amazing. I have repurchased them, though. They are great for a quick meal that incorporates protein, veggies and rice with a sauce although I wish it was brown rice for added nutrition. -
