I received the NIVEA Q10 Firming Body Lotion courtesy of ChickAdvisor for free in exchange for my honest opinion. As I get older I worry about my skin losing it's firmness and elasticity so I was super excited to be given the opportunity to try this body lotion. I apply body lotion like 5 times a day so It's nice to add one to the mix that has benefits to battle my skin concerns. This particular lotion contains Creatine and L-Carnitine which are proven to help firm skin and bring back elasticity. Pretty cool!
I waited until the last possible day to do the review as I wanted to ensure that I was able to provide the most honest account of my experience. Over the past few weeks I have applied this stuff to my body (arms, legs, shoulders, back, chest) everyday morning and night and I was happy with the results. This combined with the body Oil I also received left my skin feeling smooth and soft - but not necessarily firmer. It did seem slightly firmer then normal however so I think I just need to keep with the routine for a bit longer to see the results.
The smell of the lotion is fantastic and the consistency goes on nice and smooth. I was extremely happy with the lotion and will continue to use in the future!

I received the NIVEA Q10 Firming Body Oil from ChickAdvisor for free in exchange for my honest opinion. I hadn't tried any type of body oil before so I was not quite sure what to expect. When I pulled it out of the box my first impression was that the product was more runny then I had expected! I was imagining something more the consistency of like an olive oil or something - but it was definitely more watery. Neat! I read some earlier reviews that said people did not like the smell of the oil... WHAT? It smells so nice and soft and feminine. It does not smell artificial or like chemicals at all and the scent stays for a few hours after application.
Usually I use lotions on my body and legs but the oil was a very nice change. I tried applying it in the morning, right after a shower, before bed and randomly during the day and the application is great every time. I don't recommend putting the oil on wet or damp skin though as it kind of leaves a funny film until dry. It works better then the lotions I have previously used as it applies more smoothly and nourishes and moisturizes my skin with the help of some pretty awesome specialized oils such as avocado. It is great for legs, arms, shoulders, chest...everywhere!
I saved my review for almost the last day of the campaign because I wanted to ensure that I was able to leave a review that was as honest and accurate as possible based on my experience. After two weeks my skin did feel firmer but not a noticeable amount. I don't know if I would purchase this product based on firming factor alone. However, this did the best job of leaving my skin feeling smooth and hydrated and for those reasons I would purchase this product again. It quickly absorbs into the skin which is great so it doesn't leave stains and marks on clothing. It did not irritate my skin at all and gave me a nice healthy glow.
Some people might see the price and be hesitant to purchase, but if soft glowing skin is your thing then it is more then worth the money!

This is my favorite orange juice! I like the stuff with pulp as it makes it a little more creamy and thick. Simply makes the best juices as you can taste the freshness. A bottle of this is huge and it doesn't last long in my house. It is quite pricey but is usually available on sale somewhere so I make sure to stock up when I see the red tags! -
Cards Against Humanity
This game is SO horrible, but so much fun. If you get offended easily this is not the game for you. Such a good game for a party with a couple drinks to help soften the blows (LOL). The expansion packs are a must!

Oral B Complete Floss Picks are awesome! My boyfriend got me hooked as he keeps a bag in the bathroom, his truck and in his bags. He chews tobacco (I know, bad habit) but they help him get all the stuff out of his teeth when he is done. They are actually annoyingly addicting for him as I find these little guys all over my house. The floss is nice and easy to use and works just like regular floss without having to get your hands all tied and bound. The pick works great for the hard to reach areas. I will continue to purchase these over regular floss. -

These bags smell awesome when they are first put into a garbage can - after awhile they start to smell just like any other garbage bag. Except these ones smell worse. The garbage mixes with the febreeze and it smells even worse. It reminds me of when a smoker wears perfume to cover the smoke smell and then smells like, well, just that - a smoker who tried to hide the smell with perfume LOL. I would still to regular garbage bags an just change them as needed! Also, they dont have the fun strings that you pull on to help close the bag. They only have the 4 edges that you tie together which is annoying and you get your hands all dirty. I do not recommend. -

I have always been a "brand snob" with certain items such as ketchup or toilet paper where I refuse to buy them if they are not brand name. Chips used to be one of those items until my boyfriend brought a couple different flavours of the President's Choice "Loads of" chips. They are SO good. All Dressed is my favourite flavour of potato chip and this brand was so incredibly flavorful. They were covered in seasonings unlike many other brands which tend to cheap out. He got them on sale as a 3 for $6 but even without the sale they are a great price for what the flavour and quality you get. I wish they would make these in Kettle form. -

I purchased this on accident a few years back and it turned out to be a wonderful mistake! Culinary parchment paper is so easy to use and works so well for baking cookies or french fries and etc. The paper tears so easily so it's easy to get the exact size you need without any awkward jagged edges. It also does not burn and turn brown in the oven until you cook over 425 like other parchment papers. I highly recommend this product. -

This stuff is so addicting! Definitely a party in your mouth. All of my favourite chip like products combined with a nice nacho cheese coating. I wish they came in a smaller package though because once I get the bag opened, there is no stopping me. This isn't a snack for those who are concerned with nutritional value and health but it is great for a late night calorie splurge. -

Bolthouse Farms Berry Boost smoothie tastes pretty good. I love that it comes loaded with nutritional value from the berries but the sugar content is insanely high. Fruit is naturally high in sugar but I think we still need to watch how much we take in. This is one of my favourite flavours of Bolt House juices as Strawberries and Blueberries are my all time favourite fruits. I love that there are no added preservatives and that the product is sweetened with fruit. It does not taste artificial in the slightest. I wish the smoothie was thicker though and actually more of a smoothie then a juice. Lastly, the price point for this juice and brand in general is extremely high! I can't justify paying this amount of money for something I can make at home that would taste better. -
