I didn't mind these wipes at all! I received them for free to try and review and I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome. Much cheaper than my usual, I use a higher end brand regularly (which I prefer) but these would do in a pinch! I will probably buy a pack for backup use. They do a decent job of removing my daily grime but I have to use a couple to get a good clean. The smell is nice but I wasn't especially fond of the texture. -

I really like this cleanser so far. I received it for free to try and will end up buying another when this one is empty. The price is excellent, it has a nice smell, took off all of my makeup and did not irritate my skin at all. My skin felt nice after using it. For me, it is comparable to another higher end product that I love and for less than half the price! I would recommend it so far. (Have only used for a week) -

I wanted to love this. I really did. I received it free from Chick Advisor to try and I am glad I had the opportunity. I have combination skin with fine line and tired mama eyes.
The packaging is lovely and it has a pump, which I love. I feel like too much product comes out in one pump. More than enough to do both eyes and I would blend the rest on the top of my hand. (My hands felt great) The product itself is a pretty blue and the texture is like that of a makeup primer. My skin is au natural most days and after using this product, I feel like it's only good under makeup. It sits on top of the skin, never absorbing in. I tested it by putting it on by itself one day and at the end of the day, it was still sitting on top of my skin, I could still wipe it off. (I applied it using proper direction). It may be great for winter dry skin but for average everyday use, this was a fail for me. I noticed no positive changes in the skin around my eyes.

This moisturizer was my least favourite of all of the products I tried. While the packaging is beautiful and it has a nice mirror on the lid, I found the scent to be overpowering. The texture of the cream is light and nice to touch but I really disliked the way it felt on my skin. It felt heavy and like it just sat on top of my skin. My skin felt smooth but it was more of a barrier than an absorption. Like a layer of silicone on my face. By the end of the day, my makeup was falling off my face and it was a greasy mess. After continued use, my face broke out and I feel this cream was the reason. If not for the smell, it might be a great winter cream but as an everyday average cream, I would not buy it.

I received a bottle of this serum to try for free from Chick Advisor. I was really excited to try this line and it is pretty pricey, so it added an extra thrill. I immediately moved all of my previous products to the drawer and only used this serum in conjunction with two other products.
I have combination skin with some very fine lines.
The packaging is beautiful and has a pump, which I love. This serum is the best out of this line. It was lightweight, easy to apply but was a bit sticky (which fades after a minute). It leaves a bit of a shine. The smell is fairly neutral, struck me as a light floral but wasn't overpowering. You can feel an immediate difference in your skin after the first use. My skin felt cool and almost tingly. It felt like a barrier was being applied to my skin. It felt like it was trapping moisture rather than adding. It never felt like it was being absorbed, just lingering on the top.
I used one pump, morning and night, as directed and it covered my whole face and neck with a bit to put on the top of my hands. (The bottle lasted the whole month) There were a couple of days that the serum was the only product I applied. I did break out quite a bit but I don't think it was the serum that was responsible for it.
Over the course of the month, my skin didn't seem to improve as far as moisture and I proceeded to become very oily in the places that I was dry. I didn't notice any change to my fine lines and my skin feels better naked. I noticed no real benefit to using it and I wouldn't buy it personally. I certainly don't have any dry spots on my face anymore but my skin feels heavy and greasy. Not a positive experience for me. My hands, however, look great! The moisture barrier felt good on that type of skin.

Hellmann's Real Mayonnaise
It is the only mayo I will buy. It is my absolute favourite brand of mayo and nothing compares to it. It's great on cucumber sandwiches, with fries, to make dips and adding a little squirt to KD is super tasty.

I received a box to try for free to review for Chick Advisor. I would not buy them or recommend them. They do not taste good and they did not benefit me. I tried to make them taste better but they do not taste good in water, not in orange juice, not in pineapple juice, not in mango juice or tropical punch. I was excited to use them, as I am exhausted by 2-3 pm and was really hoping these would work out for me. Unfortunately, I didn't notice an enduring energy boost, or any noticeable boost at all. I was still tired midafternoon and wishing for a nap. If they worked, I may have considered ignoring the awful flavour. They are easy enough to use and it could possibly work for someone else. -

I received 5 bars to try for free. I loved them! I thought they were delicious. They were a solid, tasty meal replacement. I found them to be extremely filling and satisfying. They have a rich chocolate with a hint of caramel taste to them. I actually used them for my lunches as an addition to my salads and veggies. I am not certain of the cost as I haven't seen them anywhere yet, but they are on my shopping list. -

I received a pretty light blue colour from Chick Advisor to review. While it was not a colour I would have chosen for myself, I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked it on my nails. I followed the instructions and found it to be quite thin and I could see my application lines, which I was not really impressed with, but I am sure another layer would have improved that. It wasn't excessively time consuming and I really appreciated that. I type all day at work and mommy/wife in the evenings. I also work on my acreage on the weekends. I only received it on Wednesday (it is Monday now) but it didn't last the weekend. It was pretty and shiny for the couple days I was working but after doing some shovelling and gardening, it was not durable enough to deal with the pressure. I am sure it is lovely for just during the week and I would probably purchase a couple of colours for that reason. -

I received the Nutrience Sub Zero Prairie Red formula for free to try with my dogs. This is my own opinion based on the 10 days I have been using it.
I have a 9 year old Husky cross and a 1 year old Sheltie cross. Both of my dogs loved it. During the transition period, I would find that they had picked out the Nutrience and left behind the previous brand (we buy in bulk at Costco). My 9 year old dog is shedding a bit less (which is a huge bonus!!!) and over the past few days, has been playing with our younger dog (very unusual as he is like a grumpy old man). My little dog seems to have a shinier coat. I don't see much change in his behaviour, he has lots of energy all of the time. I can say that they seem to be needing "outside" less.
The food smells good, like meat. We previously used a high end dog food and I feel the Sub Zero has a "real" food aroma. I loved the list of ingredients. My dogs have really enjoyed the taste. I would definately buy it again, although I will have to rearrange my budget quite a bit to do so. The quality is amazing but a small bag is $30. It is worth it though. I am really impressed by this food.
The only thing I wasn't pleased with was not being able to find any instruction on portion sizes. It was a guessing game to figure out how much to feed them. I was very impressed with the transition information.
I will buy this, in bulk.
