Catelli Smart Veggie™ Spaghetti was pasta I got to test free from Chickadvisor. I was not sure my family would enjoy this pasta. I can be very sneaky at times in the kitchen, and this was one of those time. I often sneak veggies into sauces and dishes otherwise my youngest, and husband, would never eat vegetables. I have learned to be creative.
I enlisted the help of my son and off we went making our usual sunday night pasta. One small difference we used the Catelli Smart Veggie™ Spaghetti instead of our regular store brand. Catelli Smart Veggie™ sneaks the goodness of carrots and cauliflower into its Catelli Smart® white pasta. In addition to fibre, it provides half a serving of vegetables in every 85 gram portion. This is no ordinary pasta!
Now the real test was if my husband and daughter would like it. Notorious veggie haters I felt like it was only a matter of time until I was busted. Well to my surprise nope they didn't taste it. In fact, they both had seconds. My son and I shared sneaky glances across the table we knew the truth....And the truth tastes good!

I think I was stuck in a rut. No matter what I was wearing for foundation, I ended up looking tired and caked on. This all changed when I tried Maybelline New York Dream Velvet Foundation. The first thing I loved was the tube the foundation came in. It was easy to get just the right amount and no waste. The foundation it self was smooth and easy to blend. The easy to choose from shades matched my skin perfectly. The true test of a foundation is to step into the sunlight. My daughter inspected my face and stated that I looked younger and she couldn't see a line of foundation at my chin. I did it! I achieved colour perfection, its my secret weapon now. Luckily you can too. -

VINYLUX polish is the only polish that lasts on my nails. I am a nurse and I wash my hand too many times to count. The other important issue for me is chips or flakes..I can't have them! Plain and simple that means some of my polish has fallen off...and its not safe at work! Well I gave CND VINYLUX a try....it passed my test! The colour lasted 2 weeks without a single chip! It was easy to apply and the top coat sealed the deal! The issue I am having is that my daughter keeps stealing my amazing nail polish...what can I say she has great taste! -

My 3 year old yorkie was suffering from the winter blues. He lacked life and was becoming a couch potato. I've tried everything new toys, and treats, but what I failed to think about was his diet. I had a chance through ChickAdvisor and Nutrience to try Nutrience Grain Free SubZero Dog Food in Prairie Red.
Kash is a little older and his playfulness has kinda gone away...Within a week of the switch to Nutrience, Kash was returning to the little sneak we were used to. He had a spring in his step and we honestly couldn't keep up.
I attribute it to the lack of filler in this superior product. Grain free and nutriboost freeze dried raw beef liver.
I have one of the fussiest dogs on the planet and let me say we barely had the bag open and he was nose deep in it. No more kibble on the floor as he doesn't pick out pieces and leave them. He EATS EVERY BIT. That made me worry less and thats a huge bonus. The best part about this ancestral diet is that its full of beef, bision, wild boar, pacific fish and freeze dried to lock in all the benefits. There is coconut oil and omega 3 for shinny coat and healthy skin. Fruits and veggies round out the blend and the right amount of glucoasamine and chondroitin to protect his little hips and joints.
I can't imagine going back to the cheap brand I was using from a big box store... that I will not name. It may have been on sale...but at what cost to my little one.
He full of life again and I sleep better knowing he's going to be healthier and be with us for a longer time. He family to us and family deserves the best.
The opinion of the product is my own I received no compensation, I did get to test the bag for free through ChickAdvisor and Nutrience.

The long hot days of summer are getting to me...I spend way to much time thinking about what to drink. Lucky for me I was chosen to try Canada Dry Club Soda with a natural hint of Lemon and Lime. I am always looking for ways to add sparkle to my water and flavour...lets face it, water can be boring!
Canada Dry Club Soda Lemon-Lime is certainly an awesome choice...unsweetened and low sodium it hits all the health requirement I need. The taste is amazing and it goes with soooo many things. It refreshing and quenches that hot summer thirst. I also have been adding it to other things to add a bit of sparkle. My lemonade had never tasted better!
I even made adult only gin and club soda lemon-lime popsicles for a party I had recently....It made me the hostess with the mostest..
I would recommend this to anyone looking for a change or a healthier option to sugary summer drinks. It perfect anytime...
Two HUGE thumbs up...my opinions are my own, product was free through ChickAdvisor and Canada Dry.

Its summer time and I love everything summer! Sun on my toes, body and face! The problem with this is that you need sunscreen. Unless you like the age spots and wrinkles that come with sun exposure. I know I don't want them I work hard to maintain my youthful face. So I wear lots of sunscreen...and that comes with a side effect...breakouts and a shiny greasy look...no one wants that either.
So what do you do? Well lucky for me I was offered a sample of Coppertone Sunscreen Lotion Sensitive Skin Faces SPF 50 through ChickAdvisor for free. I love a challenge and here it is.....
Coppertone Sunscreen Lotion Sensitive Skin Faces SPF 50 works exactly as its said it would. Easy to put on, no scent, and NO greasy look! My makeup went on over it without a hitch and I spent the whole day at a music festival, and not even a hint of red..even on my nose (which always burns). I love this product!
The real test was the next day..I have super sensitive skin and I always breakout with new products...
Not one blemish and in fact, I think I actually looked the best I ever have.
Two thumbs up for Coppertone Sunscreen Lotion Sensitive Skin Faces SPF 50. Its now an addition in this family!

As a CeraVe Super Mom reviewer I had a chance to test out CeraVe Intensive Stretch Marks Cream. This was the third product sent to me by CeraVe and ChickAdvisor for free. My opinions are my own.
The total time I used this product was 4 weeks. Super pumped to have my stretch marks on my hip, upper legs and butt go away I applied the cream twice a day for almost 4 weeks. Its easy to use and didn't stain any of my clothes. Although the cream left my skin super soft and touchable. I did not notice a huge change in the appearance of my stretch marks, but the overall texture and tone of my skin improved and that did make a difference.
CeraVe Intensive Stretch Marks Cream contains ceramides and hyaluronic acid, added to that is argan oil with peptide and botanical extracts. CeraVe has patented controlled release MVE technology that is proven to hydrate for up to 24 hours after one application (+++ for busy moms like me..set it and forget it technology is what it should be called!). Now you think with all that there is no more room for anything so guess what?? NO parabens, sulfate, gluten, fragrance or phthalates.
I can't boast that I have no marks, but I can say that my skin is soft and supple and thats enough for this cat!

Little red bums are a reality of the first two years of life. If your family and friends are like mine you get a diverse response on what to put on your little ones bottom.
I had a chance to test CeraVe Bébé Diaper Rash Cream through ChickAdvisor and CeraVe for free. It just so happened that R was finishing a round of antibiotics and had a bad case of diaper rash. It was a great chance to put CeraVe Bébé Diaper Rash Cream to the test.
CeraVe Bébé Diaper Rash Cream contains vitamin E and B3 this light weight lotion creates a barrier that locks out wetness. Its non greasy formula makes it easy to use (no wipes needed to clean your finger after). It has no fragrance or paraben, and is sulfate free!! A huge plus if your a mom like me and want NO added chemicals in anything that goes near babe.
I actually used the cream on my hands. I am a nurse and I am constantly washing my hands and using sanitizer through out my day. Within two application my hands showed dramatic improvement. I noticed a change in the condition of R's bottom that very day..less red and the signs that he was healing. Bye-bye greasy Vaseline.
I felt that it left a lasting barrier between changes and that gets top marks in my books! I have a much happier babe and I can rest easy thanks to CeraVe Bébé Diaper Rash Cream. A new staple in this nursery!
