Dove Regenerative Nourishment Conditioner is a highly moisturizing conditioner that has a pleasant scent. I have healthy hair that has a tendency to be oily at the root but dry at the ends, so I used used the product on my ends. As my hair is healthy I didn't notice if the product did what it states, but my hair did feel very soft afterwards. I would suggest to others with damaged or over-processed hair to give it a try. It is a good product and the only reason I wouldn't purchase it is because I don't think I need the extra weight of the heavy moisturizers. -

I recently tried Maybelline New York Dream Velvet Foundation and I received it complimentary from Chick Advisor.
When I first tried this product I tried it using my fingers and wedge sponge and I didn't like the finish on my skin. It felt too thick and it seemed to settle in my pores and fine lines. Several days later I tried the product again but I used a makeup primer and utilized the Maybelline New York Dream Blender. The product application seemed much better.
I have combination skin and the Dream Velvet Foundation did initially have a matte finish, but a few hours later I did have some shine in my t-zone- mostly my nose and forehead. My skin did not feel dry on my cheeks and my skin felt soft.
My usual foundation gives a matte finish for a little longer, but I liked the finish so I think a blotting paper and some powder would help with my shiny nose. I have told my friends and family about the foundation and have let them try it on their hands so they see what it was like.
I'm not sure that this is the right foundation for me in the summer as my skin tends to be shinier, but I'm looking forward to using it then.

I was very pleased to have the opportunity to review the Maybelline New York Dream Blender compliments of Chick Advisor.
The Dream Blender was easy to use, comfortable to hold and apply the make-up. It is soft, but firm enough to apply the product with accuracy in areas such as the eyes. It has the added bonus of being able to use it slightly damp for a lighter application.
Before using the Dream Blender I typically used my fingers or a wedge sponge. I loved using the Dream Blender and I will use and purchase the product again. I have also recommended it to friend and family.

My golden retriever, Daisy Mae has started to have some issues with her skin. She had an odour, itchiness that would develop into hot spots and runny eyes. Our vet thought it was a either a food issue or a seasonal allergy and prescribed meds. The underlying problem didn't go away so were in the process of researching grain-free foods when Chick Advisor and Nutrience announced the chance to try Nutrience's Grain Free SubZero dog food for free.
Daisy Mae was given the Prairie Red formula to try and we were both very pleased. The first thing I noticed was she loved the taste of the food. Daisy Mae has never been a voracious eater. Our other golden starts dancing for his food an hour before dinner and then eats in seconds. Daisy usually meandered over to her dish and took her time and would often leave a few pieces for Tanner. When she was testing Nutrience's Grain Free SubZero dog food she would be waiting at her dish, ate promptly and never left any behind. She clearly enjoyed the flavour!
The product ingredients are high quality and we love that it is made in Canada. We're the pet people that read the back of the bag for the ingredients and we were pleased. As the web site says, "Prairie Red formula is prepared with fresh, never frozen Canadian sources of beef, bison, wild boar, Pacific wild-caught fish and real freeze-dried beef liver for a superior flavor that even the finickiest dogs will crave. " ( https://www.nutrience.ca/dog-food/nutrience-sub-zero/dry-food/prairie-red/ ) The Nutriboost freeze-dried raw pieces look like little treats in the kibble and I'm sure they added flavour as well extra nutrition.
After Daisy had been on the food we started to notice that her body odour had lessened, her eyes were less runny and her hot spots were clearing up. Needless to say, we were very pleased! We would have loved to keep Daisy Mae on this food. We would purchase Nutrience SubZero again, except it is not available in our town at this time. We have made a switch to a different grain-free brand, but we will continue to watch for Nutrience Grain Free SubZero and hope it will be added soon. We have recommended the food to friends.

My son and I had fun choosing the Mabel's Labels we would select as our free Product Review Club pack. We chose the Ultimate Back-to-School Combo in the multi-colour option with a race car icon.
Our package arrived so quickly we hadn't even done our back to school shopping yet! Inside were:
40 Mini Custom Name Stickers (great for stick on things like water bottles, pencil cases, etc), 50 Tag Mates Stick On Clothing Labels, 16 Custom Shoe Stickers and two Personalized Mini Tags (we used ours for his backpack and lunchbox.)
The labels are good quality and study and were very easy to apply. Some of the labels were a little tougher to remove from the sheet than others, but certainly not difficult. I haven't washed any of the clothing labels yet, but they appear to be durable.
I was very thankful to have received this labels for free in return for my review. Friends of mine were envious that Mabel's Labels was not around when their children were small because they had to do all their labelling by hand. This was easy, neat and the end result is much nicer-looking than anything I could have done! I have already told several of my Mommy friends and even a family member who labels clothing for a senior in a nursing home. I can't wait to order them again next year when both of my boys are in school!

I've been trying to drink more water, but sometimes plain water is a little boring. I found Canada Dry Club Soda Lemon-Lime to be a refreshing alternative. The lemon-lime flavour wasn't overwhelming or sweet and was a perfect drink with meals on its own. I have already purchased more to serve to friends and they said they loved the taste and will also be purchasing some in the future. I suggest trying it with wine to make s spritzer or in sangria as well! -

I received the Schlage Touch Keyless Entry Lock from ChickAdvisor Product Review Club in exchange for my honest review.
I was very excited to receive the Schlage Keyless Entry Lock, but it took me some extra time to install it as the door did not have an existing deadbolt. I had to wait to get some extra help with drilling the holes. Once that was done it was a straightforward installation thanks to the clear instructions. It is very attractive as well as functional. We trust the Schlage brand and feel very secure with the G2 security rating.
My favourite feature about this lock is that I don't need to carry keys! I also love that we can issue a code (up to 19 unique) to people like our pet sitter as well as our parents and a trusted neighbour. This will also be great as our children get a little older and want to open the doors themselves. Keyless really fits our lifestyle!
I highly recommend this product and have already encouraged several people to look into one as well. We will be purchasing one for our workshop.

I received this product from Chick Advisor to review as part of the Product Review Club.
As a busy Mom who experiences occasional sleeplessness, I was very eager to try this product. As it turned it out, during my two week trial period, I had a massive head cold with coughing and was up throughout the night.
The products has a nice light gel-consistency and pleasant light fragrance. As someone who is prone to oily skin and some blemishes I was very pleased that it didn't leave my skin feeling greasy and I didn't break-out. The only thing I would change about the product is that it comes in an open jar. I prefer my products to be in a pump.
I was actually really surprised how well this product worked under some pretty tough conditions. Although I was quite sick and was only getting 5-6 hours of rest overnight my skin looked great! My skin was hydrated, seemed firmer, smoother, more toned and best of all, I looked like I had a restful eight hours of sleep. I didn't even have that puffy face most of us seem to get with really bad head colds.
I have used several other high-end brands of facial serums and I am really impressed. In fact, I was so impressed I went to my local Shoppers Drug Mart to look into Vichy's eye creams and I'll be getting one of those too! This is a product I don't mind spending money on and I have been telling all my friends and family about Vichy Idealia Skin Sleep. I think everyone should try it!

I really liked Vichy's Idealia life Serum and I am very happy I had the opportunity to try it. I have oily skin that can be prone to monthly break-outs so I am always a little concerned that new products will be too heavy and leave my skin looking greasy. This product was very easy and pleasant to apply with nice light silky, creamy texture and fresh scent. The product leave skin with a very subtle cosmetic radiance. I loved how my skin felt after two weeks- hydrated, pores refined and healthy. I experienced no blemishes and not excess oil. This product is a winner for me! -
Baileys Original Irish Cream Liqueur
