I was very pleased with this conditioner. I feel like just about any decent conditioner would have worked okay following the amazing shampoo. However, this conditioner complements the shampoo very well. The woodsy-spicy- eucalyptus-like tea tree scent was maintained in the conditioner, but was less prominent than the shampoo (which I was okay with). The conditioner did not feel super moisturizing in the shower, but I was happily surprised. I was skeptical and expected my hair to feel stringy (which it often does with silicone based conditioners that fail to actually provide moisture). Rather than artificially smoothing hair with silicone, this conditioner adds moisture with oils. The conditioner felt thinner than I am used to conditioners feeling, but the results left me ecstatic! My hair has been much more manageable, the roots have great lift, and the scent is addictive. I need to practice not sniffing my hair after using this, or people are going to stop talking to me. Hahaha
Too long to read? Long review, short: this conditioner will impress you!

I need to start by saying that I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review. I also feel the need to state that despite receiving many free products for review, I do not let this get in the way of being critical when a product is lacking. This is important to note because I want you to take me seriously when I tell you that I haven't tried a hair product in ages that has left me as pleased as Love, Beauty, & Planet's Oil Tea Tree and Vetiver Radical Refresher Shampoo.
With a single usage, my hair feels much smoother without compromising the curl/wave in my hair. It looks super shiny and was super easy to brush out of the shower. I usually have troublesome knots after a shower that I have to ease apart. It's hard to say whether it was the shampoo or conditioner to thank, but my hair was much easier to work with.
The hair washing experience, itself, was a pleasure. I used to have a favourite shampoo from another brand (that has since been discontinued) and this shampoo reminds me so much of this post favourite in both scent and sensation. I don't have the words to describe the scent, but it seems to have a more mild airway-opening effect similar to that of eucalyptus while being a little spicier and woodsy. I've never actively sought out tea tree or vetiver as scents or ingredients. So, this product might smell exactly like tea tree oil and I wouldn't know. Either way, I have caught myself sniffing my hair like a weirdo all day. So, I guess you could say I enjoyed the scent. Lathering up the product was very easy and it makes your scalp feel cool and tingly. I think this would work great to combat dandruff.
I can't imagine asking for anything more from a shampoo. It's made without silicone, parabens and dyes. However, the company does not feed into consumer fears of every chemical (plenty are perfectly healthy and good for you). I also loved that the product is cruelty free and the bottle is made 100% of recycled plastic.
The packaging looks and feels high-end, the product smells and works like something your hair stylist pressures you to spend thirty bucks on, but a quick search online reveals the price to be in the same ball park as common drugstore brands.
Thank you, Chickadvisor for introducing me to my new favourite shampoo! Hopefully, my review persuades a few other women to give this product a try. I suspect that all those who try It, will love it.

Kashi Seven Grain with Quinoa Chocolate Chip Chia Bars
These are pretty tasty; they have hints of sweetness and saltiness. The nutritional content is pretty good compared to the average granola bar. I wish the bar wasn't so crumbly though. It's very dry and little bits fall apart as you try to eat it.

I received this product for free in exchange for my review. I was really impressed with the chocolate flavour of this shake. It is essential to serve it cold to improve the taste. It lacks most of the protein aftertaste I noticed in the Vanilla variety. I tried one of these in a homemade shake in place of the green tea I usually include. It was super creamy and tasted like a great. -

I received this product for free in exchange for my review. I was really pleased with the nutritional content of the shake. It is great that it is a low sugar shake as most of these products tend to load up on the sugar. However, the Vanilla flavour was too subtle to mask the aftertaste of whey protein. It helps a great deal to drink the shake cold, but the chocolate variety is so much better. -

This antiperspirant is not my favourite on the market, but it works sufficiently. It has a nice clean fragrance, and is gentle on my skin. I tend to get irritated underarms when I shave, so I generally prefer to use a deodorant with Shea butter or similar moisturizing ingredients during the summer when I shave often. -

I always struggle to remember to take my vitamins so gummy vitamins as an idea are fantastic. They are something you can look forward to taking as a little treat. Gummy vitamins will cost you more than regular capsules as you are generally expected to tale to gummies daily with any of these brands. I was initially buying gummies from a leading brand in vitamins. I noticed that this brand offered the same nutrients (In comparable doses) at a more affordable price. I decided to give these a chance. The taste is fruity, but the texture is fairly tough compared to the other brand I tried. Overall, these are a fantastic deal for the nutrients, but I don't look forward to these as much as I did for the other ones.
Summary:
Exceptional price
Good nutrients
Tougher texture than other brand

Nabob Bold Full City Dark K Cups
I'm a fan of dark roast so I am a fan of the flavour in that regard. However, it doesn't stand out as anything exceptional as far as dark roast K cups go. I enjoy the coffee, but I'm only ever inclined to pick some of this up when it's on sale.

I must confess, this is the first eos lip balm I have ever tried. I have used the lotion from friends before, but I had never purchased from this company myself. I was really excited to receive this item for free in exchange for my review. The presentation of the lipbalm is gorgeous; the crystal clear formula makes it look super polished and clean. However, I felt that the base of the lip balm was a little too short for me to hold comfortably while I opened the lip balm. I'm a little nervous each time I open it, that I might drop it on the floor! That said, the colour is super cute, I think the small tweak would make me like it a lot more though. I was really pleased with the simple formula of five essential oils and no wax. I often find that products with a lot of wax can feel a little artificial and plastic on my lips. This product just goes on smooth and does not feel sticky. I have to wait and see how the product performs on winter chapped lips, but my lips have felt noticeably smoother in the two days since I started using it! -
