Voilà By Sobeys/Safeway Grocery Delivery & Curbside Pickup

I normally prefer to shop in person vs. online and/or grocery delivery as I am really picky about selecting my produce and the added anxiety of potentially having someone else who don't have the same standards picking it for me. I am a normal shopper of Sobeys and get all my groceries there on a regular basis as they have hands down the best quality produce out of all other grocers. Hence, when I received an offer from Chickadvisor on their new Voila grocery delivery service, I decided to try it out, hoping that the same high standards would apply in this new service.
Not only did Voila meet my expectations, the extra level of service blew me away. The online shopping experience was incredibly simple and user friendly. I especially liked how it would tell you before checking out whether an item was out of stock, as I do not like substitutes and only like to get what I choose. The whole shopping online experience was very inviting and another added perk is that Farm Boy products are also included in the catalogue! Double plus :)
In selecting a delivery window, I selected between 12-1pm and the driver gave me a call at 11:50am on the day of delivery letting me know he was closeby and the delivery was made at 11:58am, two minutes early but otherwise, impeccable timing.
All my groceries were well packed and cold products stayed within the safe and right temperature zone. The best part was the driver and associate who made the delivery. He was courteous and incredibly polite, I wish I could have caught his name as he made the whole experience that much more pleasant.
All in all, I really enjoyed Voila and will definitely order again. Understanding that the service is still new, I hope that as it gets more mature, they can add more selection to their warehouse stock, that is my only suggestion!

I switched to this cream for the winter as my skin gets drier than normal and this product definitely met my needs.
It is a bit heavier given the moisturizing content but did it's job very well. Not once this winter did my skin flake from dryness or broke out! It did not clog my pores which heavier creams tend to do.
I love Body Shop products and this one is definitely going to my annual winter regime going forward!

I've been having severe chapped lips this winter and my colleague suggested Blistex Lip Medex. Frankly, I don't find this product very effective. It is moisturing upon application but did minimal in curing my chapped lips.
Great for an everyday lip balm but I would likely not purchase again.

I LOVE this product and anything from the Body Shop.
I have tried many acne facial wash and never found them fully effective until i tried the Tea Tree one from Body Shop. It leaves my skin feeling so fresh and within a couple of days, I noticed a visible difference in the clearance of my skin. I have been a loyal customer of this product for the past 5 years.
Body Shop is a great company that don't believe in animal testing and I definitely love supporting a company that fosters such great beliefs!

I was excited when I got chosen to receive a sample to try through ChickAdvisor and couldn't wait to try it when I received it in the mail.
Tried it out for the first time last week (first real weekend of spring with full sunshine!) and am so impressed with how well my makeup stayed on! The primer feels very lightweight but the impact is mighty. Normally by midday, my makeup is runny and melting off but I found that the primer may it stay intact and didn't give me that heavy, greasy feeling.
I am so impressed with it that I will definitely purchase a full size product going forward!
Thank you ChickAdvisor for the great opportunity!

I had the opportunity to try this product out as part of the Product Review Club.
The lotion is a perfect combination to use after the same body wash. I love the packaging that it's in a jar as opposed to a bottle, gives me the opportunity to not waste one single drop.
The product itself is just as great as any other product from Aveeno; it's tested and true. The fragrance is just perfect, a subtle sweet note of vanilla balanced with the refreshing blend of oats. The lotion spread on very nicely and smooth, and I found that it absorbed really quick and didn't make me feel greasy afterwards.
My skin was left smooth all day and I couldn't help but resist sneaking in a sniff of my arm (where I applied the lotion) throughout the day.
Will definitely purchase this again; hopefully the price will be reasonable.

I saved this for after the perfect summer, hot sticky day. What a refreshing body wash this is! The smell is perfect, not too sweet, but subtle enough and the yogurt made my skin extra smooth afterwards. And even with the yogurt, it washed off great and didn't leave any residue. Love this product and definitely will buy it on my own after this body is finished! Thank you #Chickadvisor for the opportunity to try this out! #gotitfree -
PowerBar ProteinPlus Reduced Sugar Lemon Poppy Seed

I was a bit skeptical when I first saw this bar. Other protein bars on the market that boasts "fruit" flavored bars always turns out to be a disappointment as it just has too much of a "chemical" or "plastic" taste. But boy was I surprised after one bite. Perfect lemon flavour and just the right amount of softness/chewiness. Unlike the Peanut Butter flavor, I actually found this bar the perfect amount of sweetness.
The only thing that I am a bit hesitant about is that it uses whey protein. Would have been better if soy protein was used instead, but otherwise, I loved this bar!

This definitely packs a punch!! I saved this item right for after my long run. The bar was the perfect texture, not too hard, but not too softy, just the right balance of chewy. It's also very rich in flavor and did it's job of filling me up and not having to eat another snack on top of it. The only thing is that although it is already reduced sugar, I actually found it a little bit too sweet still. But otherwise, a great bar! #gotitfree -
Banana Boat dry balance spf 50+

I think this one sweeps it right out of the boat (no pun intended)!
My biggest pet peeve with sunscreen is the greasy feeling you get after application. But with Banana Boat's new Dry Balance, the product does exactly what it says. The lotion drys and absorbs so fast that it doesn't feel like you have anything on. Effectiveness is the same as all other brands, I was out in the sun for about two hours with this product and didn't burn.
One of the biggest plus of this product is the smell....smells like Pina Colada!
