Upon opening the container, the product had a great "chai spice" smell and I was so excited to try it as Chai tea is my favorite! I let the pyramid tea bag steep for a full 4 minutes as directed on the package. It seemed to give the fresh-boiled water an odd greenish-brown tinge, but I assume it's because of the spices used.
I enjoy my tea best with a splash of milk and a teaspoon of sugar. I was dissapointed upon tasting the tea as I was expecting a much bolder flavour. I may buy this product again, but only if on sale. I will also try steeping the pyramid bag longer next time.
I received this product to try for free as part of the Chick Advisor Product Review Club #gotitfree

Schneider's Lunchmate Summer Sausage
WIth only 190 calories and 18g of carbs, this makes a great snack for anyone. I love that I can usually grab them for $1.00 at my local Walmart. I feel good letting my 1 year old and 3 year old children eat these from time to time, when we are... +
WIth only 190 calories and 18g of carbs, this makes a great snack for anyone. I love that I can usually grab them for $1.00 at my local Walmart.
I feel good letting my 1 year old and 3 year old children eat these from time to time, when we are looking for a quick and easy snack or just as a little treat to share.
The only change I would like to see is the addition of more crackers to make "sandwiches" with the cheese and summer sausage.
The Wonka Sweet Tarts candies are a great end to a small snack.

I was first greeted with the typical black tea aroma when I opened the canister and could detect notes of vanilla. When I place the pyramid bag into the freshly boiled water, it smelled almost like black licorice. I let it steep for the full 3 minutes as suggested on the package. The prepared tea has a beautiful dark caramel color. I prefer my tea with a teaspoon of sugar and a splash of milk.
The tea has a nice subtle flavour and I love the depth that the vanilla provides. I like that I don't see any "oil particles" floating on the top of my cup, as I've noticed with cheaper tea brands.I will definitely be buying this variety again.
The only thing I may change is letting the pyramid bag steep for an extra minute for a fuller flavour experience. For comparison sake, I tried another cup without milk or sugar and it was smoother but it was harder to taste the vanilla

Dove Men +Care Anti Dandruff Shampoo & Conditioner
This is my husband's go-to shampoo brand. I love that it is a 2-in-1 product so he can't complain about "too many products". I don't think I've ever seen him with dandruff so it obviously works! That, and he always smells so good!

I received a sample of Persil laundry detergent and was quite skeptical to use it, as it was a small package. I figured I might have to wash my clothes a second time as it was less than half the amount of detergent I normally use. We have soft water and I was very pleased that there was no leftover suds left in my top-load washer. It smells great as well. It's a strong smell, but was pleasant and not overwhelming. It's the first detergent that kept its scent after I dried the clothes as well! I'm a convert!! -
V8 +energy peach mango
Tasted much better than expected as I was expecting the typical "V8" taste. As with any energy drink, I don't experience any noticeable energy boost but the peach mango flavour was great, without any weird after-taste.

Special K Nourish Cranberries and Almonds Bars
This bar has a thick chewy texture, with a bit of crunch (mainly from the peanuts). I found the flavour almost bland, as I was expecting more of a kick from the cherries but it was still delicious. Already craving another! 21g carb count is decent... +

21g carb count is decent for diabetics such as myself, as it offers 2g of fibre and 3g of protein as well

Kellogg's Nutri-Grain Fruit & Nut Medley Harvest Blueberries & mixed nuts
A great pick-me-up snack for any time of day. I loved the combination of crunch and chew and the blueberries tasted great! As a diabetic, I found the 23g carb count a tad high but the 3g of protein was awesome to see! I gave my 3 year old a bite... +

I gave my 3 year old a bite but she didn't like it. Good, now I don't need to share

The first thing I noticed was that my product review card had different application instructions that the can itself. A key difference to note is that the card states to leave the product in your hair "for a couple minutes, then turn your head upside down and brush out..." whereas the can does not state to leave the product alone for any amount of time. I feel that leaving the product alone for a couple minutes would get a more desirable outcome. I found that if your hair is already feeling/looking a bit greasy, playing with the product will only worsen it.
The Dove dry shampoo smells amazing and was very easy to apply. It worked better in my daughter's thin hair compared to my thicker, long hair. I unfortunately saw no difference in the volume in my hair.
Compared to similar products, it performs just as well, but at a fraction of the price. For that fact, it will be one of my top choices for dry shampoo (especially since it smells so good!)

The spices are a great combination and not overwhelming.
