I received this product free from ChickAdvisor in exchange for my honest and candid review.
First of all, I must preface this review by explaining that I was blessed with pale skin that refuses to tan and goes from a glowing shade of white to a tomato shade of red in the sun.
Due to my pasty complexion, I tend to wear a minimum of SPF 30 on my face, neck, and arms most days. I was impressed to find that this sunscreen goes on light, only has a faint scent, and doesn't leave a white cast over my skin.
I do tend to prefer a sunscreen with some level of sweat or water proofing, especially if I'm going to be spending any amount of time outside. I did find that this sunscreen required multiple applications after hours in the sun, and it didn't stand up that well to sweat and vigorous activity.
It did a great job moisturizing and providing basic sun protection however. For an everyday SPF, I would highly recommend this. It does a great job of blocking the rays while still conditioning your skin. Definitely great to have kicking around during those warm sunny days!

I received this product free from ChickAdvisor in exchange for my honest and candid review.
I definitely have my go-to hand creams that I reach for (especially throughout the winter). I was a little skeptical that a gel cream that goes on so lightly could really replenish the missing moisture from my hands. I was pleasantly surprised that not only did this make my hands soft and supple, but it did so without leaving that annoying greasy coating that accompanies so many heavy duty moisturizers.
Truth be told, I even resorted to using some of this on my feet, and I loved it! This gel cream will definitely be making its way into my usual rotation, and not just in the winter!

These makeup removing wipes are a generous size, and can get the job done, but they will take a bit of elbow grease.
Personally I tend to prefer makeup wipes with exfoliating properties to really help remove the grime of the day, and while I found these to be more than large enough to wipe away anything and everything on my face, they weren't that strong.
If you have sensitive skin, or if you don't wear waterproof makeup, then these will probably do the trick. However, if you tend to apply your morning makeup with a spray gun, then you might need to resort to something a little stronger to get every last molecule of that makeup off your face.
Nice and refreshing, very light scent (not overwhelming), and I would definitely use them in a pinch.

Tazo's passion tea is a great option for the fruit tea lover in your life. It's a colorful and vibrant flavor that is definitely best drank black.
When I first bought this tea, I was expecting it to be passion fruit flavored, so the name is a bit misleading, but it was still really tasty. Another tasty choice in the Tazo collection!

As far as earl grey tea goes, you pretty much know what to expect when it comes to flavor. Tazo does not disappoint.
Their offering in the earl grey market is right on point...exactly what you're hoping for and not too overpowering. Some teas can be a little strong to the point where the flavor is almost 'sharp', but Tazo does a great job of keeping the flavor subtle. Great tea if you're a fan of earl grey!

Are you looking to enjoy the delicious comfort of a chai latte without the steep price tag associated with having an apron-clad barista prepare it for you?
Well then, this is the product for you! Simply grab your favorite milk product, combine with the condensed chai latte, and heat to perfection.
It has a creamy texture and a great flavor that isn't too overpowering. Definitely the closest you'll get to a coffee-house equivalent.

I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review.
To be perfectly honest, I'm not a person who routinely eats mac and cheese for dinner. It's definitely an occasional indulgence, so I wasn't sure what to expect from Annie's. I'm also a person who gravitates towards the traditional cheddar flavor, so white cheddar wouldn't be my first choice.
This mac and cheese has a lot more flavor than traditional KD, and it's certainly a healthier alternative. Although I wasn't a fan of the white cheddar flavor, the shell pasta was delicious and the creamy consistency of the cheese was perfection.
If you like white cheddar, I'm sure you would thoroughly enjoy Annie's take on this classic. If, however, you're like me and you're more of a fan of the regular cheddar mac and cheese, stick to the original Annie's and you will not be disappointed!

This mac and cheese has a lot more flavor than traditional KD, and it's certainly a healthier alternative. Don't get me wrong, this won't replace a good serving of vegetables and it's certainly not as healthy as having a salad for dinner, but if you get a hankering for some cheese covered pasta, this will definitely hit the spot!

These power bars are pretty tasty - the combination of peanut butter and dark chocolate is exactly what you'd expect (and great for all those peanut butter fans out there!).
They make a great mid-morning/mid-afternoon snack - they're extremely filling, and definitely better than reaching for a muffin or a chocolate bar. In terms of health bars, there is a pretty lengthy list of ingredients compared to some, and there is quite a bit of sugar in these. They aren't the most simple/natural bar on the market, but they're tasty, relatively healthy, and they'll provide you with the fuel you need to tackle a workout, or just to make it through an agonizingly long workday!
Out of all the flavors I tried, this was my least favorite. I would absolutely keep a stash of these in my gym bag or in my desk at work. They're tasty, filling, and will give you the boost you need to make it to your next meal.
Note: I received this product for free to review, however, this does not affect my opinion in any way and everything stated above is a true reflection of my thoughts and feelings.
