I received the TETLEY COLD INFUSIONS RASPBERRY CRANBERRY to try for free in exchange for my honest opinion, and this was my least favourite out of the flavour options. I love the concept of cold brewed tea as someone who is always trying to drink as close to 3L of water a day as possible. I don't like the artificial flavours and sweeteners found in most products so I was relieved to see that this was sugar free and made with natural flavours.
The product is so easy to use - fill your water bottle, shake, let steep for 10 minutes (or more!) and enjoy! As much as I love the simplicity of this product, the Raspberry & Cranberry flavours tasted a little off to me. I enjoy that it is caffeine free and made with herbal tea but the taste just didn't work for me. The cold brew tea bags provide a great amount of flavour without being too overpowering or, on the other hand, watered down.
Overall this product comes at a great value (I found it in my local store for a 12 pack under $2). Its simple and easy to use and one tea bag easily lasted me 2-3 bottles of water, depending on how long I steeped it for. I would not purchase this flavour again but would purchase the other flavours from this product line. If you like strong raspberry and cranberry tea flavours then this will be great for you!

TAZO ORGANIC CHAI BLACK TEA is a Chai tea like no other! Chai tea is super hit or miss for me based on the ingredients and strength of ingredients used, and I find myself reaching for this one every time a craving strikes. The cinnamon, ginger and black pepper combination is perfectly balanced in this blend with each ingredient complementing each other for the perfect amount of spice! I normally brew this in the morning to replace my morning coffee or in the afternoon for a quick pick me up when I need that extra shot of caffeine. I usually add a splash of milk or drink it black, kick back and enjoy! If you're looking for a bold Chai that warms you from the inside out, I highly recommend this one! -

I tried the BEAUTY BLENDER THE LEVELER PORE MINIMIZING PRIMER and I was unfortunately not blown away. The primer is beige coloured and thick and spreads evenly on the face for a silky and smooth feeling. The skin looks great immediately after applying but when you put foundation over top it separates on the skin and looks uneven. Sure your pores look great, but now your makeup looks caked and uneven. It also feels tacky and doesn’t allow setting powder to sit nicely on the skin. It retails for over $40 at Sephora which I think isn’t worth it. -

The Taste of Nature Bars are delicious! My favourite is the Cranberry flavour - not to sweet and the perfect amount of crunch. I love that you can clearly see all the different seeds, berries, and rice crisps in the bar. I also love that it is organic, gluten free, and non-GMO! Such a healthy alternative to the other snack bars out there that are full of processed sugars. This is a great bar for snacking at only 190 calories and it fills me up until my next meal. -

These are our families new favourite bagels! They are such a nice sweet treat in the mornings and almost taste like dessert. You can see the delicious blobs of blueberry and when popped into the toaster for a couple minutes, they are the perfect crisp on the outside and the right balance of chewiness in the centre. We have tried these with regular cream cheese as well as with just butter and they are incredible both ways. -

I was absolutely wowed by the new and innovative Dawn Platinum Powerwash Dish Spray! We love to cook comfort foods in our home, but hate the cleanup where we usually have to soak our dishes in soapy water to help cut the grease and grime. Thanks to this revolutionary product, my cleanup time is so much quicker!
We really put this product to the test and made our favourite comfort dishes of Mac & Cheese and Scalloped Potatoes. The Powerwash is SO easy to use! The spray uses activated suds to break down and lift tough stuck on messes without the use of water! It is a miracle worker on grease and saved us so much time when doing our clean up.
Simply spray the Powerwash directly on the dirty areas (the spray is perfect for hard to reach places and worked great in our blender after berry smoothies!), let the suds sit for a minute and activate their magic, then wipe away and rinse! So easy. It took minutes to clean the same dishes that usually take at least half an hour. We all had fun taking turns spraying the Powerwash and the delightful scent of citrus was very welcome!
I love the fact that this product is refillable and will be purchasing this in all of the scents when I run out. I would recommend this to anyone who loves to cook at home, has families and small children, or who wants to save time in the kitchen! My only complaint is the twist lid is a little flimsy and mine comes loose super easily. I would prefer a tighter fitting lid to avoid spills and leakage but this product is fantastic otherwise!

The Maple French Toast Dempster's Bagels are my new favourite! They taste absolutely incredible and remind me of a delicious stack of French toast! They have the authentic cinnamon flavour in them and pair well with butter and syrup, plain butter, peanut butter or cream cheese! I pop them in the toaster for a couple minutes until they get browned edges and then indulge! They remain soft and chewy on the inside and make the perfect breakfast treat :) -

I couldn’t believe how much I loved the Sea Salt and Black Sesame variety. They are so much healthier than potato chips and offer an even better crunch. You can see the seeds and pieces amongst the crackers and each bite is nutty, salty and flavourful. I can’t wait to try these in every flavour! -

I always like to keep ready to eat soups on hand for days when I need a quick lunch and the CAMPBELL’S CHUNKY PRIME RIB WITH VEGETABLES was sooo yummy! Aside from being easy to make - open can, pour into saucepan and warm up (or microwave) - it was also hearty and filling. There is no lack of flavour and everything from the meat to the carrots melted in my mouth. The rich au jus inspired gravy was a perfect brother compliment. I will purchase this again! -

I was selected to try the NEUTROGENA BRIGHT BOOST MOISTURIZER SPF 30 for free from ChickAdvisor in exchange for my honest opinion and as much as I love the product, I cannot justify the price of $19.99. The 30 mL package is far too small to warrant that price tag.
I have been using the moisturizer every evening after showering, exfoliating, applying serum and a gel cream. I enjoy the addition of SPF 30 as it is great that you can wear this serum for day and nighttime use. The product smells great and is easy to apply to the face. Not a whole lot of product is needed and it applies evenly and smoothly. The sheer moisturizer is light on the skin and absorbs very quickly.
After using this product for over a week now, I definitely think that it does a great job of hydrating my skin and making it brighter and younger looking. I love that it also protects my skin from UV rays and is great for under makeup. I do, however, think that the price should be lowered as the size of the package is simply too small. I will recommend the entire Bright Boost line by Neutrogena but will exclude this product as I think there are comparable alternatives for a better price.
