Dove Purely Pampering Coconut Milk with Jasmine Petals Body Wash
Pleasant, different scent, not too flowery or perfumy. Moisturizing creamy goodness leaves my skin soft and silky, not tight and dry. Another successful product from Dove, who can do no wrong.

I ate a few bars during long days and nights, working double shift. I also had one in replace of breakfast. I liked the fudge flavour and the soy crisps bits. It has a rich enough taste without being like candy, a chocolate bar. I didn't try the weight management plan because I didn't see it in the box until a few days ago. But I would like to give it a try. I received this product free as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club. -

Not having used any other product like this before, it is hard to compare.
I've taken effervescence and tablets that load you up on vitamins to fight off illness if you're feeling like you're coming down with a cold. But this is energy support, with the B vitamins. I used them with water on nights that I was staying up very late working & needed to concentrate, and also after daytime workouts before I went to work. I couldn't detect an orange flavour, and the taste isn't particularly pleasant. I will try them with juice, chocolate milk and tea, where hopefully the taste will blend in fine. As to whether they are effective, I didn't feel drowsy or tired when I took them.

Eucerin Calming Daily Moisturizing Crème
Luxurious feeling crème that absorbs nicely & has long lasting softness. Fragrance free is ideal for my husband, who doesn't want any scent in his product. All what you expect from Eucerin. Not disappointing.

CA sent this for me to review, thank you. :-)
I wondered if water would be as effective as cleansers, soaps, scrubs and even toners for after I exercise. I wear just lipstick. When I first used it, my skin felt like a bit tight like when I apply a toner. I wasn't sure it was cleansing my face fully, so sometimes I would wash my face in the shower as usual, then use it after.
I did get 2 pimples while using it, but they could have come anyway. I think I'll continue to use it on it's own every other day, because I just want my face to be completely cleansed.

I received this to review from CA - thank you!
This has a pleasant scent, and a greasy feel, left my face a little bit shiny after. It's good for winter months when the air is dry, but I would use a more lightweight moisturizer in the humid summer. Recommended for those who like a scent.

The book that everyone loves to hate, or hates to love. I read it before I saw the movie last year.
So many people were/are up in arms about this book, I think mainly due to being offended about what went on in the playroom, and thinking the spankings are assault. Other people repulsed by this book also say their relationship isn't a typical BDSM one. While I don't know about that, I do know that everything/everyone does not have to fit into one box. Plus, here's something to consider: So you mean to say that this scenario does not exist? - a young, inexperienced, naïve woman wants a relationship with a hot, confident, wealthy man, so she overlooks his "tendencies". She just knows that he will change. With her good love. Come on, this is too common people!!
Ana was a let down, being such a push over, but I get that is the point of her character. But for me, the biggest let down was the writing, which just wasn't up to par. Turns out I don't like sexual fantasy books, they just aren't realistic. If I'm constantly rolling my eyes over the sex scenes, that aint good.
The movie was just meh. I hesitate to recommend this, it's a weak You Betcha!, bc it's not everyone's cup of tea, but if you're open minded, it won't upset you, so that's why I can't say Fugheddaboutit!

Tassimo Twinings Chai Tea Latte
One of the best drinks I've made with my Tassimo. Rich, flavourful, just sweet enough (80 cals is better than most lattes). I don't like the aftertaste of their "milks" (which does contain milk). It's my go to when I want to indulge, not be healthy.

I purchased this from an online voucher site, and unfortunately it can't be returned with them. I always have zippers that need replacing, and so I thought this would be the solution. In particular, I had a hoodie with a broken zipper, but none of these replacements fit on. I also have a broken zipper on a skirt, but again, none of the replacements worked. It's not an “instant” solution and doesn't "snap on in seconds". This idea is great in theory, but in practice, it needs a redo so it can actually work to "Fix Any Zipper in a Snap!" -
