I was super excited to be able to try out Bryer's Non-Dairy Cookies and Cream thanks to Chickadvisor. While the amount was well worth the price compared to other non-dairy desserts, it wasn't anything I enjoyed enough to want to purchase this in the future. To me, it was overly sweet to where I couldn't enjoy but a couple of spoonfuls at a time, and it tasted artificial and chalky. The best part about this was the cookie chunks! -

I really appreciate that I was provided a pack of two sponges complimentary for review. We go through a couple sponges a month normally, as we cook a lot. I've been using one of these for a couple of weeks now and there is no sign of wear. It hasn't started to tear or crumble, nor does it seem to be separating the sponge from the scrubber. In fact, it still looks just about as clean as it was new!
The sponge absorbs and lathers well, is easy to keep clean, and does a great job at general cleaning or for harder jobs requiring the scrubbing side. The great thing about the scrubbing side is that it doesn't scratch pots, pans or my surfaces! They are cut with a little wave to them so they are also easy to grip, giving them a perfect hold compared to straight cut sponges.
I'm glad I was introduced to these and would encourage anyone looking for a durable and effective cleaning sponge to check them out.

I am grateful for the opportunity to have received this product complimentary to review. First, I would like to say I appreciate when skincare comes with pumps rather than in pots. It keeps the item fresh for longer, and helps to prevent contamination. I had no issues using this products pump or with it clogging during my testing. The product was a thicker consistency of lotion, so I required the use of a little more than a pump each time to use on my entire face and neck.
Personally, I enjoy the berry scent of the masque, but others with sensitivities may not like it. As far as fine lines and wrinkles are concerned, I noticed no improvement after a couple of weeks. However, I did notice an improvement in texture, especially around my under eye area, where I used to have little bumps. The masque seemed to have made them fade significantly!
This did not completely absorb into my skin, so I was hesitant to use under makeup and decided the best time for me to use and leave the product on was before bed. After a while I came to the conclusion that the product was causing me to over moisturize and giving me breakouts on my cheeks, so I discontinued using except in the areas where I had texture problems. This seems to be a better suit for me and my combo skin. I feel as though the product would be better for those with dry skin, or used to treat problem areas of texture/dryness rather than general all around use for all.

I was provided this product complimentary to review, thanks to Chickadvisor. I am so happy to have been given the opportunity to be exposed to this company. They have great ethics and I would happily look into discovering more from them. Recycled material is used for packaging, and the products I was sent, including this body wash, are made with organic ingredients, cruelty free, and vegan! I have been transitioning to vegan products as I can, and I would consider making this a permanent swap into my routine.
As with the other products in this line, there is a lovely flowery and coconut scent to the product. If you're sensitive to scents, this may put you off from using it. However, the scent of this body wash specifically does not last very long post shower, so don't let the initial smell within the bottle scare you. The wash is light and lathers enough to make you feel clean and fresh. The price is more than reasonable for a natural and vegan product - on par with drugstore prices. You get a good size of product, which will last you quite a while, using a small amount (all you need).

Thanks to Chickadvisor, I was sent this wonderful product complimentary for review. This conditioner is a perfect pair to the same shampoo. I have been replacing my beauty products over the last year with vegan ones, and I believe I have found one I will be using for some time to come. I especially appreciate that the company uses recyclable materials to store their products, and that they are cruelty free, vegan, organic, and contain no dyes, parabens, sulfates, or silicones.
If you're sensitive to scents, you may not enjoy this line, but I loved the light flowery and coconut scent of it myself. My hair is extremely straight and thin, so when I put extra product like conditioner, masques and oils on it, I get concerned that it will make any volume I can muster up void. This conditioner is light enough, if I use a small amount, that it does not weigh down my hair. While the product is a thicker conditioner, it rinces out nicely and leaves your hair soft to the touch. I look forward to trying out more from the company!

I was excited to be lucky enough to be sent this shampoo complimentary for review. I was in search of a new vegan shampoo and I think I found it! Love Beauty and Planet uses recycled material to store their product, use organic ingredients, is cruelty free and also vegan. The shampoo itself has a lovely fragrance, so this product is best for those without scent sensitivities. It created an appropriate lather and felt very clean - it even removed my dry shampoo without problem! My hair is super straight and thin, so I always am in need of volumizing products and for something as natural as this, it didn't disappoint. My only complaint is that it left my hair in tangles. That is not a deal breaker for me though, so I would be happy to continue using this and recommend to others. The price is completely reasonable for a natural and vegan product. -

I was provided 6 softgels complimentary for review, which is not really enough to notice just how effective this product was. However, I will say that I appreciated substituting a vegan supplement for the week. The pill was a bit larger than those I normally take but I had no problems swallowing - it went down great without getting sticky or stuck in my mouth/throat. I notice with this particular type of supplement, I have less anxiety and sleep better, which was still the case using the Omega 3 from this brand. I would confidently swap these into my daily intake routine to continue using and hopefully see a few more health benefits as well. -

This is super easy to set up, just click the freshener into the holder and plug in! There are various settings for intensity, however I found that anything other than the lowest was far too powering for my rooms. I do live in a small apartment, so if you had a large household, the higher settings might be ok for you. I always love the smell of fresh linen fresheners, and I enjoyed this just the same. You don't need to have this plugged in all of the time, but I am currently leaving this plugged inside of my washroom. After about two weeks, there is just over half gone, so I would say, with consistent use, you won't need a refill but maybe once a month. -

I received this Premier Protein Chocolate Shake complimentary. It was a great mostly healthy snack to have around. Usually with protein drinks, the taste can be super disappointing. This did have a bit of a strange and chalky aftertaste, but overall it was pleasant enough to drink straight. I did use it along with some fruit and green powder in a smoothie the second time around and it helped to mask the aftertaste. It wasn’t a needed step, but I like to give myself options when consuming healthy alternatives to snacks and meals. What is great about this shake specifically, is that it actually was filling enough to not need to continue snacking. I realize it should not be considered a meal replacement, but it would probably tide you over temporarily in a pinch, if needed. -

The complimentary Premier Protein Vanilla Shake I received fell a bit short of my expectations, but was still a decent snack to have on hand. While this was not sweet (a plus for me), there was something about the taste that was just off for me as far as vanilla flavoured things go. I found that I appreciated having this more if I blended it with some powdered greens and berries – creating a smoothie basically. Doing so masked the super chalky and lack of off-vanilla flavour enough to actually enjoy it. I am not sure I would go out and purchase this type specifically, but the chocolate, for example, is a little more on the point as far as taste goes. Still, this was a healthy alternative to some other protein drinks, which I can appreciate. -
