I tried the strawberry & watermelon flavoured Tetley Cold Infusions herbal tea in a cold water bottle. It was easy to use and after a good shake, I could see my water changed a gorgeous rich pink colour which was very pleasing. I was not used to the taste at first. But it was quite refreshing and pleasant after a bit more sips. I could taste both the strawberry and watermelon but neither was too strong. The taste was very mild and reminded me of another brand I've tasted before. This seems more affordable and accessible since I can see people easily using this on the go. Overall I enjoyed this flavour but wished the taste was more fruity or sweet tasting as I felt the herbal taste overpowered it a bit and my tastebuds are not used to it. I don't think my kids nor my husband would enjoy this as it's too herbal tasting for them. I love that there are no calories or sugar which is great for anyone who is health-conscious. -

I received the Batiste Waterless Cleansing Foam with Cactus Water to use free from ChickAdvisor. I was very curious about this item and after receiving it, I spent some time to read the instructions because I wanted to make sure I used it properly. I gave the bottle a good shake and squeezed once to get a good sized foam. I rubbed it at the top of my hair and ran my fingers through rubbing it into the roots. I have very long hair that goes down my back but I only needed 2 squirts from the bottle to be able to use the product which is good. Instantly my hair felt cleaner. It looked sleeker and cleaner, almost brighter. It helped calm my frizziness and gave it a good shine. I wish it gave my hair some added volume but it did make it feel clean without feeling weighted down or greasy. My hand didn't feel sticky either which I am surprised about. It was easy to use. I would recommend this to my girl friends who are moms because of our busy lives with kids, sometimes washing our hair can be a luxury when we get time. I like having this on hand as sometimes I travel for work and it would be useful for a quick clean refresher for my hair if it felt dirty. How convenient! -

I had the opportunity to try the Promier Protein Caramel Shake and my husband wanted a taste as well. He is a gym buff and works out a lot. He is always hungry for snacks after a good workout. He nearly devoured his shake because he said it was delicious and refreshing. He doesn't like sweet snacks so I was afraid it would be too sweet for his palate however it was just right. It was smooth and not grainy which he liked. I liked it as well however I think I preferred the chocolate shake flavour instead. This is something that I could easily put in the fridge so he can have on the go or when he comes back from the gym. We would definitely get these for quick on-the-go high protein snacks. I like that there is 30g of protein! That's a good amount needed for an active person. -

I received the Premier Protein Chocolate Shake to try from ChickAdvisor. I was excited to give it a try because I try to eat more high protein foods to help with muscle building and weight loss. I am diabetic and I like that the sugar content is very low on this. I also like that there are so many nutritious vitamins listed. 30g of protein is great! It's hard to find high protein snacks and this is perfect for my lifestyle. I love the chocolate flavour. It was smooth and delicious. It was not too sweet nor thick. It was light and I easily finished the whole container in one sitting after some squat exercises. It was so refreshing and tasty. It did not feel heavy but was satisfying at the same time so it definitely quenched my thirst in a good way. I like that there was no grainy texture which I am used to from trying previous brands/types of protein drinks. This did not have that and it was very good. I would definitely get this to have on hand after a gym workout or a tiring day with the kids. I recommended it to my husband who is a gym buff and he gave it a seal of approval after reading it's nutritional value. -

I received a full price coupon to purchase a free case of the Canada Dry Cranberry Ginger Ale. I purchased the regular kind as my store did not have the diet version left. I liked the packaging as it felt very festive and attune with the cranberry flavour. At first I thought the flavour was too sweet for my liking, but after a few more sips, I enjoyed it and was able to down the whole can while having dinner. I think I would prefer the diet version as the sugar content in this was very high. Overall, it was an ok product. I liked the amount of bubbles which made it enjoyable as I like carbonated drinks for this very reason. I have tried flavoured sodas before but this was too sweet for me and I would have liked a more tartness as I think cranberries have both a sweet side and tartiness that makes it distinguishable in cranberry sauce for example. If I did not already know it was cranberry, and I was given this to try blindly, I would have guessed it was strawberry. I personally would not buy this regular cranberry ginger ale, and maybe see if the diet version is more palatable for my taste buds because I would prefer no sugar anyways. I would recommend it to guests or friends during the holiday seasons for Thanksgiving and Christmas to add something different to meals. It was definitely interesting to try but I felt like the ginger in ginger ale was overpowered by the overly sweetness of this version. -

I got the opportunity to purchase and try Sir Kensington's Chipotle flavoured sauce. I tried it on my sandwich and at first I was not used to the chipotle spice flavour. But after a couple more bites, I started to enjoy the taste. It gave my sandwich a kick of flavour and heat that was perfect. It was not too spicy for me and I think it added an overall appealing flavour to my sandwich that was otherwise boring and fell flat without it. I like that it comes in a glass jar and a little bit goes a long way. I did not have to spread too much and it added enough flavour to my sandwich. I thoroughly enjoyed this sauce. I would recommend it to my husband who loves spice and usually puts sriracha hot sauce on everything. -

I received the Baby Dove Tip to Toe Wash for my 3 kids. Bath time can be a struggle when bathing 3 kids separately. Using this wash has made it more efficient. I love the pump style bottle because with one hand on my child to steady them, I only have one free hand to reach for soap. The size is a reasonably good one which I think will last us some time. We enjoy the pleasant light scent. Paired with the Baby Dove Nighttime lotion, its a must have for evening baths right before bed. The kids calm down, are soothed and yawn almost every time we use this combo. I would definitely purchase this wash for my kids again. -

I received the Dove Nighttime lotion to try for my 3 kids. Bath time and lotion application afterwards has become enjoyable and part of their routine now. They commented as did I on the appealing scent of the lotion. Its a nice sized bottle and only 2 quarter sizes amounts are needed per child. They actually enjoy smelling the lotion on their bodies. I easily apply the lotion all over their bodies after bathtime and they call it the "sleepytime lotion" because it soothes them and at times they yawn as a result. I would definitely buy this lotion in the future for my kids. Even my 7 year old likes how it relaxes her in the evening time. Its definitely a hit in my household with the kids and I like how smooth their skin feels afterwards. No skin reactions and only positive feedback from the little ones which means its a winner for this mom! -

I also received this targeted dry cracked skin ointment from Aveeno from ChickAdvisor which was complimentary. I am so relieved to see there is a product on the market geared towards my very issue. I have long suffered from having dry and cracked skin that is very itchy and painful. At times it doesnt look very pretty either when the skin on my hands break open and bleed. I feel like its a cycle of disappointment because I have yet to find a product like this that acknowledges, helps and heals my problem. One of my hands is actually cracked and healing and I tried the targeted ointment and the result is impressive. It does not sting nor leave my hand feeling like I've applied medicine. Its soothing and although I have only used it for a week, I am seeing the positive effects of my cracked skin healing nicely. My hand also feels moisturized and its no longer unbearingly itchy. Great product for people like me! I would definitely pack this in my purse as a must have. I would recommend it to family and friends whom also suffer from this. -

I received this Aveeno Cracked Skin balm to try out for free and I was immediately impressed with the large size of the container. I have cracked skin on the bottoms of my feet and hands from the weather but especially on my hands from frequent dish washing. It can get itchy, bleed and look not so nice. I liked the lack of scent and the balm felt lightweight and smooth. I used a small amount on both hands and it did not sting. It absorbed well into my skin. One hand stayed moist and soft throughout the night but my other hand was still dry. I think continous application might benefit me so I am excited to see the results. I like that the tub is large so the value is definitely there. I often find when I am out and using my hands often in addition to the wind and weather, I need several applications so am not sure how I would efficiently lug a big jar on the go with me. Maybe if this also comes in a to go version then I would be 100% happier. Nonetheless, I would definitely recommend this unique product to my mom who works with her hands in the kitchen and suffers from cracked skin. Great product! There is nothing like it on the market. -
