Lipton White Tea Peach and Mango Pyramid Tea Bags
I'm a big fan of flavoured white teas and this is possibly my favourite. It's fantastic iced in the summer and is so flavourful it doesn't need sweetener. Also love the pyramid tea bags, pretty and functional.

I was lucky to be able to try this product for the Chick Advisor Product Review Club. I have used electric toothbrushes before but never found them to be much better than regular manual brushes, just more expensive.
That said, I am extremely impressed with the Arm&Hammer;Spinbrush Truly Radiant, especially given the low price point! When I use it, my mouth feels dentist-clean afterwards! It definitely feels like it gets into the nooks and crannies that my regular toothbrush doesn't get to.
The only (small!) complaint is how loud it is! But that's a very small price to pay for a product which works so well! I would absolutely buy it again and recommend to friends and family.

I was fortunate to try this product for free via the Chick Advisor Product Review Club. I was skeptical as most meal replacement bars I've tried have had a nasty artificial taste and are often too sweet for my tastes. On the plus side, this product has a decent amount of protein at 15g per bar. Ultimately I found the bar too sweet, as well as being higher in carbs and sugar than what I would normally eat. The chocolate flavour was okay but I did not like the texture of the crispy bits in the bar. It's "Decadent Fudge" - fudge is supposed to be smooth! There was also the artificial taste that I've found in every protein bar I've ever tried. (I guess there is no getting away from that?!)
I will keep my eye out if the brand creates a lower sugar/carb meal replacement bar. The 15 g protein and 4 g fibre is a good start but I think the product needs some tweaking for taste and texture.

I was excited for the chance to try this via the Chick Advisor Product Review Club as I frequently suffer from fatigue and would love to increase my energy levels. I was impressed with the ingredient list, particularly the Ashwagandha, which is supposed to help with adrenal fatigue. I admit I did not love the taste of the product! If taking it with water, I had to plug my nose and gulp it down. It smells and tastes like your typical B vitamin mix and I found "hiding" it in my smoothie was best! I did not experience an instant energy rush that others have claimed to, but I imagine my adrenal fatigue will not be cured overnight. Also, I'm not sure why they bothered putting free-form B12 into the mix as it cannot withstand the acid in your stomach. This is why doctors give B12 in the form of shots or recommend sub-lingual supplements for those deficient.
I was excited to see they make an Energex capsule (which I would much prefer to take) but it does not contain the Ashwagandha or the Maca.
At this point, I would only buy the product if I found a super duper sale on it but I think I will continue to look for a similar product containing the ginseng mix (especially Ashwagandha) and the Maca, that comes in capsule form.
Adrien Gagnon, if you are listening, please make this product into capsules! (And don't bother with the B12 since it will be destroyed by stomach acid before our bodies can use it.)

I love Garnier products and was excited to try this moisturizer. I liked that it had a light, mild scent and was quickly absorbed into my skin. I also like the pump-bottle which delivers the perfect amount to apply to my face. I wish more products would use this type of container design as it is convenient and hygienic, keeping the cream from becoming contaminated due to exposure. I did not notice any real difference in my skin texture or tone during the trial but I don't expect to see big changes after only 2 weeks of use.
This is a product I would use in addition to my regular moisturizer as my 50 year-old skin can become very dry, especially in winter and this product is quite a light formulation. I also appreciate the addition of SPF as I burn very easily!

Though I was skeptical of this product, I loved it immediately the first time I used it. I was expecting it to be similar to toner but it was much better. Sometimes after a long day, I don't want to go through the hassle of a 15-20 minute skincare regime before bed to get rid of the day's grime. Garnier SkinAcive Micellar Water is perfect for those days! A few strokes of a moistened cotton pad and my skin feels clean and fresh. It's also great during the day to freshen up my face. This product is now on my go-to skincare list. -

I was thrilled to be able to test this product for the Chickadvisor Product Review Club!
I am the first to admit I am useless when it comes to most sewing jobs so this line of products is perfect for someone like me. That said, in case of emergency, I can sew on a button but you know, I can never find my mending kit because it is so rarely used.
This product is great and I just keep in my purse so it will always be within reach no matter where I am.
And it is much easier than a needle and thread!
Will definitely be purchasing this product again.

I was thrilled to be able to test this product for the Chickadvisor Product Review Club!
This product is made for people like me who find most sewing jobs very challenging and don't have the funds to hire a tailor to hem most of the clothes I buy. (While I am not short, my legs are short relative to my body so most pants, skirts and dresses I buy are too long.)
I used this on a double-slit skirt and it worked quite well, though you have to be very careful to place it as it is not adjustable like the similar product. The skirt has gone through the washer/dryer 3 times now and the hem has not loosened at all. Very pleased!

The product was a bit fiddly to use at first but worked great on a too-long dress of mine and survived one washing and drying just fine. This will become a staple in my household!

I had the chance to try this product for free via the Chick-Advisor Product Review Club. It's difficult to assess skin care products after only a couple of weeks of use. I stopped using all of my other skin care products to get the most realistic experience of these products.
I did not like the cream nearly as much as the accompanying serum.
I liked that it was quickly absorbed, but the formula was not hydrating or moisturizing enough for my 49-year old skin. I will continue to try it while using my regular moisturizing cream and see if this product works better as an add-on rather than a replacement.
The product is pricey for my budget.
