I loved this body wash. It has a light rose scent that isn't overpowering, but is absolutely wonderful. The wash is light and creamy feeling, and suds up really well. I also like that it comes in a pump. I feel like I waste less that way.

This is a great moisturizer if you have sensitive skin or issues. I have the bumpy, scaly, itchy kind of rosacea, and I used this during a flare up. It's really gentle, doesn't feel heavy on the skin, and has no fragrance. I'd definitely keep using it.
My only issue is that I'd want it to have sunblock if I were to use it during the day.

This is pretty good for a protein bar. It doesn't have that chalky taste most have, and the flavours are good together. They have a lot of sugar in them though, and you can taste it.
Definitely don't refrigerate them. I had one in my lunch tote at work, and almost broke my teeth when I ate it out of the fridge.

I found this to be just like any other granola bar I've tried. It was nice and chewy, and the dark chocolate mixed we'll with the nuts. There wasn't anything special about it though. I will say, you absolutely have to eat these at room temperature. I put them in my lunch to take to work, and when I tried to eat them out of the fridge, they were hard as rocks and I really could have hurt my teeth on them.

I received this free as part of Family Rated's product review service. I don't usually like orange in my tea (I find it too sweet and prefer lemon if I want to add citrus), so I wasn't a huge fan of this tea. The green tea part is great. Not too earthy and it was refreshing. I could tell that the orange was good quality, it's just not something I prefer. -

I received this product free as part of Chick Advisor's Product Review Club. Green tea is my favourite tea, and mint is one of my favourite kinds, so I was really excited when I was given this opportunity. This is a pretty good mint green tea. The mint isn't overpowering and adds enough depth to the tea, and the green tea part doesn't taste really earthy (like dirt) like some do. That being said, there's nothing outstanding about this tea either. I wouldn't say it's any better or worse than the same version of this that Tetley or Twinings makes. At $3.99 for a box of 20, that's pretty average for tea. I'll just wait for whichever brand is on sale. -

This is a nice herbal tea, but there's nothing special or standout about the taste. It smells much more flavourful than it tastes.
I do like that the ginger taste isn't overwhelming. I know ginger has great healing effects, but I'm not a huge fan of the taste, so this would be good for me when I wanted something to settle my stomach.
Since I received this free, I don't know how much it retails for.

I received this free as a product test for Chick Advisor's Product Review Club.
I followed the instructions each time I used this matcha, but every time I found the taste really watery and lacking in flavour. I also found undissolved matcha at the bottom of my cup each time. I don't understand how it doesn't dissolve properly in boiling water when I used the amount dictated on the packaging.
I did like that comes in individual tubes so that I could take it on the go with me, but that's not enough to buy it.
Also, $7.99-$8.99 seems like a pretty hefty price tag when I've bought better tasting matcha for less.

I received this product free as part of Chick Advisors Product Review Club. This is a quick, low calorie way of getting some protein after a workout. I usually prefer a protein bar since I'm usually hungry after a workout, but this would do for those that don't like eating right away. It's definitely not a meal replacement, and says so right on the carton. The vanilla flavour is better than the chocolate. -

I received this product free as part of Chick Advisor's Product Review Club. This is a quick and tasty way to get a protein boost post workout. I usually prefer to have a protein bar after a workout as I find it regulates my blood sugar better, but if I'm not hungry after working out, this is good too. Definitely best served cold. -
