I gave this to my mother in law as they are on a real health kick and she really wanted to try this. She said "Ive been under the weather since Friday, everything I ate was going right through me. I tried to drink one of the chocolate protein drink you gave me. Not only did it taste good it also stayed in. I'm feeling much better now too. Don't know if it was a coincidence but I'll be buying more." High praise from her and we will both be buying in the future. -

I was a little skeptical. When I cut my long hair to shoulder length after I gave birth to my son I lost ALL my natural blonde highlights and lightness. It was super dark and brown looking to me. I was sent the shampoo and conditioner, in combination with the one month serum leave in for 5 min treatment to try out and provide my honest opinion.
I was BLOWN away. After just one leave in treatment (which did smell like a hair salon -kinda like bleach just so you know) and a shampoo and conditioner rinse I DID actually see a difference in my hair. It was not like I was a blond babe or anything, but I could see more colour differentiation in my hair, more natural looking highlights. I was super surprised.
I've been using this now for about 3 months and it is still looking lighter. I would like to add I started using this in the winter, so it was not the summer sun lightening my hair, but the actual product. This is for sure something I plan to buy again in the future rather than paying to have my hair treated/dyed in a salon.

For someone who wants minimal mess and to wax at home I would recommend this kit. I found that some of the strips were s but tough to separate but came apart easy enough.
Everyone I ripped my toddler said "owie mommy" so apparently I was wincing a bit. I found that some spots are hard to do youself and there was some significant pain.... Possible I let my leg hair grow a little too long before trying. I also had bits that stayed behind and were not ripped. I really appreciated the soothing wipe that was included with the kit as it made my leg feel better. It still is a little tender and I did it last night. But overal worked well and much less messy than waxing or sugaring with warmed liquid you need to spread on. Even my toddler was helping me rub on the strips.

I was a little sceptical about how well a dry shampoo would work in my hair but was amazed that it took away almost all the .. Haven't washed your hair type look. Most of the day my hair felt fine, though my scalp was still itchy and knew it had somehow been skipped.
By the end of the day I found I could start feeling the product more in my hair and that it needed to be washed out
I think it's a very good boost when you've just been far too tired or rushed to get in a last minute shower.

I found that there was a strong enough smell that it bothered me while on my face. I tried using it several times and found only a very small amount is needed. My skin does feel softer but I personally didn't like the smell. It did fully absorb in without a sticky or tacky feeling. Others may enjoy the smel of this product. I'm going to give this to a friend to try and will try to update with her results. I would recommend this to those who like the smell of the product as I feel it is effective, just not for me. -

This tea arrived in my most recent box. I never dreamed I would get the chance to try out a tea, and this one was awesome. The loose leaf tea has a smell that makes you want to gobble it up. Black tea does contain caffeine, but I do not tend to have a strong burst of energy from it. The flavour of this tea is enjoyable, and while its not needed, I added a small amount of honey or agave nectar to it. It's a really nice way to start or end your day, with a warm cup of blueberry tea. -

The blueberry is very good. It says on the package that it is made from dark chocolate, but there is no bitterness I would often attribute to a dark chocolate. There is a subtle blueberry flavour, and the berries are a little chewy since they are dried fruit. There is a little bit of crunch from the rice cereal. It's pretty darn good and you should have some!
I shared this bar with a bunch of co workers today, and all 5 of them loved this, several saying they've only seen chocolate covered blueberries by Brookside and will have to look for these the next time we visit a larger town.

Brookside Chocolate Tablet Bar in Mango Coconut Crunch
Mango has an amazing amount of mango and coconut flavour. It's extremely aromatic, especially smelling like mango, with just a hint of the coconut. It is soooo good. There is a crunch in here from the rice Crispies with great after flavour.

It's dark chocolate without all the bitterness. I really like the crunch. Cherry flavour is subtle but it's a really good chocolate. And I didn't think I would like the dark chocolate.
It smells like cherry and tastes amazing. It's like nothing I've ever eaten before. There is the crunch from the rice cereal and the after taste of cherry. It tastes like chocolate but not your standard milk or dark chocolate.
I would recommend to EVERYONE that at least once... you HAVE to try this... and I am not a huge chocolate fan, especially not of dark chocolate - but this is just so different. It is a little pricey, but its so worth it.
I received this chocolate bar from Chick Advisor in exchange for my honest review which I have provided based on my sampling and my husbands sampling of this chocolate bar (which is a really nice way of saying we devoured the bar).

Nestlé Gerber Organic Baby Cereal

My son seemed to really like this cereal. In the past we've had a lot of spit up after eating oatmeal, but this one he had pretty much nothing during or even afterwards. I am not sure if its the natural ingredients or the fact that it is organic, but its Little Man approved!! (which means mommy approved).
I find that there are so many chemicals in food, if I've not made the food myself at home, then I try to feed him organic products so that it is better for him. I personally have many allergies, my mom had a couple, but none in older generations - I feel they may have been caused due to the insane amount of chemicals and processing in our food, not to mention how far away everything is now shipped for importing and exporting.
I would most definitely recommend this cereal to babies over 6 months of age who are ready to start solids and showing all the signs, such as pincer grasp, the ability to sit with very minimal to no assistance, able to swallow food (not pushing it out with tongue thrust reflex), shows interest in food and is ready/willing to chew. As long as he continues to do well with this cereal, I would buy it again.
This product retails for around $4.99, that is a decent price, especially for organic, but I wish it was a little cheaper since there are so many expenses - but that is on par with the cost of other cereals in my area.
I received this product free of charge, in exchange for an honest review of the #GerberOrganicCereal
