I received a sample from Chick Advisor and was very impressed! I tried the spread with my niece who is a die-hard fan of Nutella. She loved this even more than Nutella, and I did too! I found it not as sweet, and not as oily or greasy which is great! A much better texture, and I can't wait to buy a bigger container - and also try the crunchy version! -

I wasn't too excited about this as I use lemon juice and garlic all the time, and had no idea why you'd combine them. I love to cook and am an adventurous eater, so the recipes that came with this, for things like lemon chicken, were not very exciting.
The only reason I tried this was because I #gotitfree with the ChickAdvisor review club, and I was surprised!
It's lemon juice with garlic oil, and works great in things like asian food - I put it on deep fried Chinese chicken wings and it would be great in Pho too! I've added it to vegetables, dashing some at the end of stir frying green beans, broccoli and I'm sure it would be great on a ton of other veg.The garlic flavour is strong, but not overpowering.
I plan on using it next time I make hummus, and can't wait to taste the results.
The only reason I wouldn't buy this again is because I'm not quite sure I see the value - I always have lemon juice in the house, but use it in applications where I don't also want garlic (like fruit and desserts) - so I can't say I'd keep two bottles of RealLemon in the house just to have this flavour.

Bioderma Sensibio H2O Make-Up Removing Micellar Solution

I hate the feeling of rubbing off eye makeup, and don't like wasteful makeup remover wipes - enter Biiderma's micellar water! Once I tried this I've never turned back! It has a consistency like water, but is incredibly gentle and effective in removing makeup. It takes less effort than any other makeup remover I've tried and leaves no residue! As it can also act as a skincare or toner, I wash my face first with all my makeup on, and then go over again with the micellar water for a clean finish.
As a bonus, this goes on sale at least once a year and I pick up the double pack of large bottles to always have on hand!

I was selected by Chickadvisor to order from Sobeys, with a discount code. I live very close to two discount grocery stores, and therefore rarely use a delivery service, but in trying to limit my outings, I thought this was a great time to try it out! The prices were higher than my regular discount stores, so I don't think I would order from them again, but with the discount it was certainly worth it.
I'm someone who enjoys grocery shopping, so I missed browsing the same way, but I was able to pick my products through the provided categories and filters, and the descriptions were good in providing amounts and nutritional information. I think having all flavours/styles and sizes together would be helpful. Different sizes of the same product are listed together on the site - for example, 12 or 24 hot dogs, each ice cream flavour etc. As well, do note the sales are not the same as the Sobey's flyers!
As for the positives, it was great that I could get foods from Sobey's or FarmBoy and even specialty ethnic foods all in one order. I received the delivery on time and without contact. I received one item that was not as expected, it appeared to have mold on it, but it was easily resolved! I called customer service, they asked for photos and refunded that part of my order the next day. Easy as can be! Lastly, the prices of delivery was the same regardless of date or time!
I would recommend this service to those who can't go out, or need to limit their exposure during this pandemic, and to those who already shop at Sobey's and have a pretty set grocery list - it will be fast and easy, with great service!

I found this to be a bit pricey for the size of the bottle for my budget, but I got it on sale which is why I tried it. I'm glad I did as it works so well! it cuts through grime with no elbow grease and takes hardly any time! By the time you've sprayed down the tub, the soap scum is gone from where you started to spray! Wipe it down and you're good to go - I will continue looking for this on sale and won't be going back to any other brand! -

This is a great value for a cleanser! It's not a large bottle, but a little goes a long way. It feels oily going on, but rinses clean and leaves you feeling hydrated. It does a great job removing make up, so I love that it's removing and cleaning all in one step! If you haven't tried this style of cleanser before, you may feel like it's not rinsed clean, but it is! -

This was my first product from The Ordinary and it sure won't be my last! This whole line is great quality at an incredibly reasonable price - the price is so low because each item does one thing, but this means you can customize your skin routine! It requires some research, but you can put together the perfect set for your skin and your goals. i got this one to even out my combination-oily skin. It worked amazingly and I have far fewer blemishes on an ongoing basis. i use it once a day in the morning before my moisturizer. The product goes a long way and lasts a long time. I'm not 100% oil free, but it certainly has tamed my skin. -

I #gotitfree from Chick Advisor! What a great size for travel! I've been looking for something like this for a while and they're hard to find! It's great to have a one-time use wipe (not a huge pack) that you can keep in your purse or carry on without worrying about liquid restrictions and use can freshen up on the plane or on the go. The only downsides were the smell (but that might just be personal) and they are just a bit bulky - I wonder if they could be packed flatter and longer? I will certainly look out for these in stores and keep them on hand in my toiletries bag for trips! -

I #gotitfree from Chick Advisor just in time for summer! I like the nice light texture, it goes on smoothly and moisturizes nicely too. This will be really nice in the summer or on vacation when your skin is a bit tight with a tan, but I don't think it would be a strong enough moisturizer for me in the winter. The only downside to this product that may prevent me from buying it would be the strong floral smell. It dissipated quickly, but was not a nice smell for me. -
