I love Sharpie products, but had been stuck in a groove buying my "regular" ones from Staples. I'm late to the game with these, but wish I had found them earlier. They have a truly "Ultra Fine Tip", making writing with them easy and precise, and the ink dries quickly on the surface of my labels at work. Love having the colors to choose from and the ultra-fine tips to control my writing and spacing better. -

I received this product from Chick Advisor to try and review, along with the conditioner. I love the shampoo (conditioner I was not so thrilled with). The scent of the shampoo is rich but not over-powering, and within the first 2 uses I could feel the difference to my scalp. I have dry scalp issues during the winter, so this was a great time of year to be trying the product. The shampoo left my hair feeling clean and light, and lightly scented. -

I received this product from Chick Advisor to try and review, along with the shampoo. I love the smell of the conditioner, and it seemed to work wonders on my scalp (which suffers from dryness and flakiness in the winter), however, I found that it left my shoulder-length thick hair feeling heavy and weighed down. I would consider buying it again and using it occasionally for relief of my dry scalp, however, it's not a conditioner I would use on a regular basis. -
Baileys Coffee Creamer
I usually drink my coffee black, but every now and then enjoy a "wintery Sunday Morning" treat, and this is what I reach for, as my husband usually has it tucked away for his weekend coffees. It's not too sweet, so not a total shock for me going... +
I usually drink my coffee black, but every now and then enjoy a "wintery Sunday Morning" treat, and this is what I reach for, as my husband usually has it tucked away for his weekend coffees. It's not too sweet, so not a total shock for me going from black coffee to flavoured coffee - just rich and creamy enough so that I am enjoying something different on the weekend. -

This one is more of a personal preference - I just was not a fan of the taste and therefore will not be buying these particular bars again. I found the bars to be convenient and filling, easy to eat on the run on the days I don't seem to stop for lunch, and the price was decent, however, the taste just did not appeal to me. I will be sticking to other flavours of Protein Bars. I received these as part of the Chick Advisor Review Panel - thanks! #got it free -

I was a little hesitant about these bars, having bought Protein Bars before and not liking the taste and texture of them. However, I was pleasantly surprised by these ones - I will be purchasing them again. They are tasty without feeling like I am eating a chocolate bar, which I appreciate, as I ate these bars at lunch time while "on the run" driving the kids around. They also tried the bars and liked the taste, which is a bonus. They left me feeling full and satisfied and able to continue on with my day! I was lucky enough to receive these for free through the Chick Advisor Review program. #got it free -

I received these as a gift, and am very impressed with them! I do my own nails, and seem to be always trying to touch them up and make them last longer. The colours of Creative Play are bright and fun, but the polish is easy to apply and lasts far longer then other polish and lacquers I have tried. My last application lasted all week, instead of having to redo them every few days. -
OxiClean™ Versatile Stain Remover Powder

I received a certificate to cash in for a full size OxiClean Powder, however, I had a hard time finding it in my usual stores (in St. John's, NL). When I did find it, it was actually more expensive then the "full value" coupon wtas, so I had to put an extra dollar or so with it. I found it to be a much more expensive product then I would usually purchase.
However, price aside, I really did like the result of using the powder. I used it several times, with both my usual clothes and my teenage boys' clothes after a weekend of working outside and coming home caked in dirt and grime. It did not take out the worst of the stains (I wouldn't expect it to), but the clothes were definitely brighter and cleaner aside from the worst of the permanent stains.
I think this is a great product, just priced a little high. I will be very selective about when I use it, saving it for the worst loads, and keep an eye open for the product to ever be on sale.

Although this Laundry PreTreater worked well and was effective in removing the stain, I found it quite a bit more expensive then the Store Brand I currently use, which also works well. I will purchase the OxiClean brand when it's on sale, as I do like the foaming action (I'm curious to see if this bottle lasts longer then my usual brand because it's a foam - that would make it seem to be worth the extra money), and it did very effectively remove the grease stain on the sleeve of my shirt. If it was just a little lower price point I would give it full marks, but it was the most expensive one on the shelf. -

I have long been loyal to the Staedtler brand, and with good reason. They are always quality products, and there are no exception. I came across them on a really good deal on Amazon around Christmas and bought them for myself, although I am just getting around to trying them now. The color pallette is beautiful, and when a little bit of water is applied over the crayon, it gives a true watercolor effect. I love them and wish I had bought several sets at the sale price! -
