PowerBar Plant Protein Almond, Sea Salt and Dark Chocolate

I am a big fan of this, and mainly because it is not too salty. The salty sweet balance was just right for me. I personally would like less salt, not a salt person really, but doesn't stop me from enjoying this bar. As for the nutritional value, I feel it is worth the sugars :P Find that this works as a quick breakfast, or energy boost. If I ever find these I may buy them if the cost is not outrageous. -

Took me a little bit to write this review after receiving my coupon for a free bottle because I wanted to be able to review with and without booze. Not inclined to spike my drinks on a casual day just for a review.
I made a tropical margarita with fresh lemon juice, which was a bit more sour than I expected, but it was definitely tasty. A bit of a sweet and sour drink on a nice hot day is really nice, and after adding tequila I found it tasted the same as margaritas you would order anywhere else. This just super simplifies the process! Everyone else agreed that the mix makes good margaritas and I am willing to try out the other flavours next.

Ben & Jerry's Coconut Almond Fudge Chip Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert

Alright so this is a nice tasty treat. The coconut tastes like it is meant to cover the aftertaste, as that is when you taste it and it simply sweetens whatever the creamy taste is (can not place whether I think it tastes like coconut milk or not). THIS IS NOT BAD! The almond and fudge taste literally as almond, and the fudge chip part is chocolate, so yumm.
ABOUT THIS DESSERT
Now if you are looking for a frozen dessert that is different and you do not want that dairy taste, this is a wonderful dessert in small portions. Even if you like dairy this is still delightful. It is creamy, and lightly sweet. No bad after taste in this flavour, but it does linger.
The chips are not so hard as to break teeth or hurt your jaw, however right out of the freezer this is pretty hard to scoop out of tub. Would not recommend the warm spoon method as I find this stuff melts a little fast as is, just make sure to use a sturdy spoon maybe.
I find that this is nothing I would ever crave though. I believe that is because of the combination of almond and coconut taste are too reminiscent of sad Dairy substitutes. The ingredients list soy and I really did not taste it directly so maybe this all comes down to my dislike for soy taste, perhaps that is the taste they are trying to cover and I caught a hint of it?
PRICE & DAIRY COMPARISON
You just can not compare to a dairy taste, I personally can not have dairy, but occasionally will take lactose pills to relieve some amount of pain. Stupid, yes, but worth it sometimes for the higher quality stuff. This being said if you want Ice-cream go get Chapman's Lactose Free Ice-cream, it tastes like ice cream and you can get larger sizes for cheaper (this costs $8.99 for 500ml and Chapman's is about $5.50 for 1L at my store). Also no need for lactose pills with it (vanilla is best flavour because you can add fruit, or syrups to change flavour as you please; others are good too though if a little too sweet for my taste) This is merely if you are avoiding Lactose and not the entirety of Dairy.

I got this product as a free trial, and I have to say it works exactly the same as other St. Ives lotions. I actually could not tell the difference, besides scent. Still not as effective for really dry skin, unless you apply multiple times successively (works perfectly for areas that are not a desert landscape).
The scent is a bit much, has a sharp flowery scent that lingers. Problem being that I am not sure what in it causes that smell, as I assumed this would be mildly scented given the ingredients. I do not have allergies, simply get headaches from flowery/flowery-like scents. Do have to say it does smell really good if you are not "scent-sitive".

I would have to say I do enjoy this product. The scent is mild and nice, the scent does not change throughout the day, it doesn't leave marks on clothes, and it does not move (as the day goes on some deodorants crease).
Have to say it works better than the regular Dove deodorant I was using however that was not bad, I think the trade off is the price difference, not a big difference between the two, but for such a slight difference I most likely will go for the better deal.

So I received this product with the shampoo and the conditioner, and I am widely impressed with them all. Mostly with the shampoo and conditioner though.
This conditioner goes farther than I would have thought, I currently have long hair and I misjudged the product to be the same as others. I needed to use less.
The scent is just as wonderfully invigorating as the shampoo, but most impressively is that the conditioner appears to have calmed the mighty weird wiry hair layer that is constantly over the surface of the rest of my hair. I have been using dozens of combinations of products to try and combat these unruly hairs and this has calmed 75% in one use. I want to see my future with this shampoo conditioner combo, it looks wonderful.

I received this free along with the body wash and conditioner, and I can not believe how much I love this product!
I have never had a shampoo that on its own made my hair feel so silky, it moisturized and softened my hair up before the conditioner, and without looking at some high price points I did not believe this was possible. Seems to really help with my dry skin, it does not feel as irritated after using this, and prolonged use will hopefully eliminate most of it.
Now it lathers up better than I thought, even with long hair you do not need too much. The scent is also invigorating. Perfect for a morning or afternoon routine. Would not ruin a night one either. Easy to rinse out, which would be a relief if your shower has low pressure.

After receiving the set for free I admit I was a little concerned about the scent. I have a sensitive nose to some products, especially if they add a hint of flowery ingredients. This is a very light refreshing smell, like nature, and even with my sensitive skin (no allergies, just sensitive) I did not get any rashes or itchy spots. For me this is an instant win, but on to the rest.
It lathers up well, and cuts through the daily grime that my oily skin builds up, as the air is dry here I do have to make sure to use lotion when I get out, this one does not lock in moisture. My skin felt fresh though.
