Dempster's 100% Whole Grains Seed Lover's with Chia Bread

When I was growing up it was always plain white bread. Which was fine. But growing up as a “picky” eater, I didn’t branch out much. As I am now ahem older, I want to try and make a few more healthier choices. With Dempster’s, I get that and I still get great tasting bread. It’s now my go to bread, and I have even branched even farther and tried their different varieties, which I never thought I woud. If you have never tried their products, I do highly recommend. Thanks to #familyratedclub & #dempstersbakery for the opportunity. #gotitfree #holidaytastingopportunity -

As I am now ahem older, I want to try and make a few more healthier choices. With Dempster’s, I get that and I still get great tasting bread. It’s now my go to bread, (100% Whole Grain) and I have even branched even farther and tried Dempster’s Honey & Oatmeal, which I never thought I would like. If you have never tried their products, I do highly recommend. Thanks to #familyratedclub & #dempstersbakery for the opportunity. #gotitfree #holidaytastingopportunity -

This sunscreen is thin in consistency and it's hydro gel leaves a nice and refreshing feel to the skin. With SPF 50, makes this great. Another huge bonus with this for me anyways is that when applied near/around the eye area it doesn't make my eyes water. Any other sunscreen, if it comes close or if I rub my eye wrong, I'm done for. My eyes will not stop watering. With this sunscreen, I never had that issue. So thank you for that. I usually break out a bit when applying other sunscreens and I can't say for sure that this did or not, but I had a few breakouts but I don't think it was directly related to this particular product. But maybe just something to keep in mind. As for price, it's a bit up there for sunscreen and the amount you get but with SPF 50 and overall look feel, no tears situation (in my case). I would consider purchasing this. #gotitfree for this review. #NeutrogenaSun. Thank you. -

This gel like cream makes your face feel nice, refreshed and hydrated after applying. Did that hydration last all day? No. Some people have complained about the smell but I found it quite pleasant (refreshing) and I'm usually pretty sensitive to smells. Did I see any improvement/difference to my skin after using? No, but I only tried a sample size amount. If I was the type of person who splurged on "drugstore" products, I would buy this again. For the amount you get, it again like the other products in this Hydra Boost" line, they are a bit up there in price. #gotitfree for this review #NeutrogenaSun. Thank you. -
NEUTROGENA® All-in-One Make-Up Removing Cleansing Wipes

These wipes are amazing. Removes everything and leaves your skin feeling nice, refreshed, and fully cleaned. Also non drying and non greasy. Another plus is that the very last few in the pack "weren't" dried out. The only down side, I find with these is that they are a bit higher in cost of the amount you get, compared to other brands. But if you can find them in bulk, on sale, grab them! I would definitely get these again. #gotitfree for this review #NeutrogenaSun -

I have always like TRESemme products. Actually my all time favourite holy grail shampoo & conditioner are from TRESemme, so I was excited to try this new "Compressed-Micro Mist" Smooth hairspray. The packaging is super attractive (black, purple, gold), and sleek. The actual can kind of makes you think there's not a whole lot of product going on inside (155g) but again it's "Compressed-Micro".
As for the product so far, the mister is a good quality. Distributes the product evenly. Claims to have "invisible hold", which I can agree with but I tend to believe this hairspray is more geared to the people who are looking for the Smoothing effect. Not necessarily the Hold effect, because it disappointed me in that area a tiny bit.
Also if you don't like strong smelling products. Don't get this. It's follows you around for hours. It's not to chemically smelling, has a floral scent about it but like I said, it's strong and it lingers.
It's about average price at the local dept store, and depending on what you are looking to achieve, you may or may not want to give this a go. Would I personally buy this again? No but I'm looking for both Smoothing & Hold, and the scent just pushed me more towards the no end.
If you were wanting to try something new in the smoothing department and you love TRESEmme, it's worth the shot.
Thanks to Chick Advisor & TRESemme. I received this product for free in exchange for this review. #gotitfree

Love Beauty & Planet Tea Tree Oil & Vetiver Radical Refresher Shampoo
I've been that person who has seen this in the stores and said "that looks different, I wonder if it's any good?". Thanks to Chick Advisor and Love, Beauty, & Planet, I was able to try it for free #gotitfree. And I'm happy to say I will be buying... +
I've been that person who has seen this in the stores and said "that looks different, I wonder if it's any good?". Thanks to Chick Advisor and Love, Beauty, & Planet, I was able to try it for free #gotitfree. And I'm happy to say I will be buying from this line again. It's a bit pricey for the amount you get but for the quality, ingredients (organic), and planet-friendly (100% recycled plastic), it's worth it. When using with the conditioner it leaves your hair nice, light, and you feel refreshed after using. The only two little minor issues I had was the scent reminded me a lot of my husbands shaving gel and/or body wash, and it didn't leave my hair as smooth as I would have liked. Can't wait to try other products from this brand. Give it a shot. Thank you. -

As my headline suggests, yes you should try this conditioner out (along with the shampoo). It's a bit pricey for the amount you get but I actually believe for once you get what you paid for. It leaves your hair feeling so soft, light, and refreshed after using. Not a whole lot of volume happening but that's most likely my own hairs fault (fine). The only two little minor things is the scent is border line "Men's shaving gel/body wash" scent and it doesn't leave my hair as smooth as I would like. Would that stop me from buying this again? No. But I will definitely be trying their other scents, in the future. Love that the company is using organic and 100% recycled plastic for their packaging. Thanks. #gotitfree -

This body wash definitely feels like a "daily detox" for your skin. Nice and refreshing after a long day. Lathers really well and the scent isn't too overpowering (for Tea Tree, you would think it would be). Love the fact the company is set on using organic and the bottle is 100% recycled plastic. For a body wash it is a bit pricey but I can over look that for the good quality of the product & packaging (helping the earth). The one thing I would say is the scent it's not over powering like I mentioned but it's border line a men's body wash/shaving gel scent. Can't wait to try other scents. I'd buy it again. -
Breyers delights Vanilla Bean

I just tried this and I have to say it was good. Did I find it to be the best ice cream, I have ever tasted? No. But for the amount of calories you expect there to be little or no flavour. This new Breyers delights Vanilla Bean, does well, taste like vanilla ice cream. So it does have that going for it. I'm not much of a vanilla ice cream person, unless I have chocolate syrup covering the majority of it, but I was still happy to have the chance to try this.
Another thing it has going for it is 280 calories per PACK, which is 500mL. I don't count calories but I'm thinking that's not so bad, right? Also it contains 16g of protein per pack as well, if your into that. And then finally it has a logo (so must be true) "Diary Farmers of Canada Quality Milk". Whoop whoop. Lets keep it in Canada.
Price wise for a 500mL, small tube it was around $5. So price compared to other bigger containers, not so great but if you are looking for maybe a slightly healthy alternative then this might work for you. Would I get this again? Probably not this particular flavour, but I wouldn't mind trying Cookies & Cream @ 360 calories, and/or Creamy Chocolate @ 280 calories.
Now another little turn off and this isn't the fault of the actual product itself but I had to go to 4 stores to until I found this, so it may be a hunt if you do decided to give this a go.
Thanks Breyers & Chickadvisor for the opportunity. You can never go wrong with ice cream. I received this product for free in exchange for my review. #gotitfree #LoveBreyersDelights #BreyersDelightsCanada
