I was given a package of Adrien Gagnon Super Energex through the ChickAdvisor review club in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own after taking the time to review this product.
The package came with 20 individual servings of Super Energex that you can choose to mix in half a glass of water or half a glass of fruit juice.
The product was a greenish brown color that was enclosed in orange plastic packets with twist off plastic tops. They were joined together with perforated edges that made them pretty easy to break apart.
The flavor of the liquid was suppose to be orange but unfortunately they did not taste anything like orange.
The first time I tried them I mixed it in half a glass of water and the taste was kinda gross, but I do not get deterred from a new product that fast, especially knowing what type of product this was. So I did expect it to have some what of a herbal or different taste.
I mixed it in a fruit juice after the initial dosage and it was not as bad as when mixed in water.
I did not notice any change in energy at all in the times I have used this product but I will continue and try them again until they are finished and update this review if anything changes.
All in all the taste is not the best and for me with no changes in energy I am not sure that I would spend the money to purchase again.

I received 5 Adrien Gagnon Decadent Fudge Nutriforme Bars through the ChickAdvisor review program in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are 100% my own after taking the time to try this product.
The Adrien Gagnon bars were a generous size and they tasted much better than other Meal replacement bars that I have tried in the past. I am a huge chocolate lover so I enjoyed the chocolaty coating that covered the fudge portion of the bar.
They were sweet and rich in flavor and definitely was a filling meal replacement. My husband and I both tried them as a lunch time meal replacement on a couple of different days and we both found that they kept us feeling full during the day and we did not eat anything else until supper time.
All in all a great meal replacement product that is filling and tasty.

I always ate Mr. Freeze Jumbo Pops as a child or even the other sizes that were available. They were delicious and sweet and perfect on a hot summer day. Some of my favorite summer memories with friends involve Mr. Freeze Pops in some way or another.
Now we keep these on hand in the summer for a nice cool refreshing treat for our kids and we also keep them on hand year round in case someone gets a fever.
A fantastic product that has stayed around through out the years.

L'Oreal Root Cover up is used to cover temporarily cover or conceal grey roots or grey strands in your hair.
I was given L'Oreal Root Cover up in Dark Brown to review.
I have to take a moment to apologize here and say that I forgot to take a picture of it while it was in my hair and I had such a bad experience with it that I will not be reapplying to take one. Read ahead to hear about my experience.
But I will say that it is lightweight and non sticky and did cover the grey perfectly, and blended very well into my hair and it did wash out after one use.
The nozzle is long and pretty pointed which makes it easy to distribute the product to the grey areas quite easily without making any mess.
But for me this is where the good qualities end.
I used it Saturday night when I was getting ready to go out for the night. The product can did not tell me if I could use any heat styling products after usage or not. Such as a straightener or curling iron but I am going to assume here that I couldn't. So I styled my hair and then applied the L'Oreal Root Cover up to my problem grey areas around the sides of my head and some through out.
It covered well as I stated above and I was able to blend it into my hair very well.
Next I went on to us a brush through my hair and it literally was getting stuck as I was brushing, I tried a comb as well with the same experience. It felt like I was dragging the brush through a matted knotty feeling hair that was super dry or something. I am not even sure how to explain the sensation.
I ended up putting my hair in a pony tail because I never had enough time to wash my hair before having to leave to go.
When I got home from our time out I literally could not wait to get this stuff out of my hair. It took two shampoos using unseen amounts of shampoo to even get this stuff out of my hair completely. The color part washed out pretty quickly but it took a lot longer to get the actual product off my hair.
Next I used a lot more conditioner than I normally would. It did not even make my hair feel remotely close to its normal self. My hair felt so dry.
After this I even took an additional step and used a dry oil in my hair to try to add some nourishment back into it.
After two washes with lots of shampoo, more conditioner than I have ever had to use at one time in my life and a dry oil treatment my hair still do not feel the way that it normally does.
I am writing this a day after and I have to say that my hair still feels awful today. It feels dry to the touch and its hard to even run my hands through my hair softly like I used to be able to. I am hoping that after another wash this feeling will pass.
I am NOT impressed with this product at all, and I do NOT recommend it at all. In fact this product will never be in my hair ever again, it is not worth the damage it has put my hair through.
I am giving this two stars in the effectiveness area. I honestly struggled with this, I wanted to give it 1 star because of how bad of a time I had using the product. But there were a couple of redeeming qualities.
1. It does cover grey hair and pretty well.
2. It blends very well so that it looks pretty natural in your hair.
I think this is probably the first time I have ever had to write a review on a product that I completely disliked as much as this, and for that I offer no apologies because I was expected to write an honest and unbiased review which I have done.

McCain Deep 'n Delicious Cookies and Cream Pie is another good McCain product.
I have to say though it is expensive where I live and after purchasing it just one time it was not good enough for me to purchase again at that price. Perhaps if there were a sale or I was shopping at one of the larger grocery stores I may purchase again.

I have been eating McCain Deep 'n Delicious Cakes for years and years (shh, yes I know I am getting old). They have never changed and still taste delicious.
The cake is perfectly moist with a fantastic chocolaty flavor and the icing is even better. I honestly love the icing so much. A lot of times icing on cakes is way too sweet but the McCain Deep 'n Delicious Chocolate icing is a perfect balance between sweet and chocolate flavor that will melt in your mouth and keep you coming back for more.
I will definitely recommend this cake.

After bite The Itch Eraser for kids is a must for families who have children and spend time in parks or wooded areas, or camping.
I live in a very rural area so we keep this on hand and use it quite a bit in the summer. It seems to work fairly well but we do have to apply it multiple times.
