I was very lucky to try out CND Creative Play from Chick Advisor, Thank you!
I am a normal girl, who gets a mani pedi as a once a year treat, (if I was rich I would often) therefore I am a do it yourself kind of girl without any magical skill. AKA not so great at gorgeous nails. As well having a job that creates wear and tear on my polish family quickly. So this is the pre-story!
Okay this colour is freaking gorgeous! I was super happy I got to try out this beautiful blue “Royalista” is one of my favourites!!! My photos do no justice but it is such a nice blue.
I used CND Creative Play’s Base coat first, then applied this blue beauty colour once the base coat was dry. My first thoughts putting this on besides, “Don’t make a mess of yourself since you need to take a photo!” LOL but I was curious of drying time. I tend to not use the better name brands because you have to wait too long for it to dry and let’s face it I am inpatient! So I applied my colour and I should have set a timer but I didn’t think of that, I watched a bit of Youtube, probably around 30 minutes to be safe and was surprised it didn’t take up my whole evening! I did use the three steps together, so I am sure that helps with the lasting power of this polish but holy man! I have this on a week later, NO chips which is unreal! Colour is perfect still and I honestly am blown away. I photograph cars all day for work which doesn’t sound like you would be doing much damage to your nails but sometimes the decals I put on vehicles or moving everything around all day non stop with my hands I have chips and my polish is good 3-4 days max. I am super blown away with 7 currently!
This hits all my top concerns: Drying time, lasting power and overall look. I feel like I had professional products used in a salon not in my bathroom!
Very highly recommend and cannot wait to try out more colours from CND Creative Play!
Forgive my nail photos, the will not do justice but I wanted to try to show the week later as well. You can tell yes I need to redo my nails but for me this is still okay to wear since I am quite the imperfect kind of girl!

I have stuck with a base coat from another brand for years because it worked and I didn’t have any concerns. Or sometimes using no base coat. Trying this I feel like my eyes opened! I didn’t realize how important this step was, silly I know. What I loved about this product was it helped my colour last longer, made it more vibrant I think, and felt less damaging to my nails. I am unsure if this or the top coat made my colour last longer or both combined but wow! Much longer life span than my previous base coat. It also did dry fairly quickly which is a big deal for me!
I LOVE colours, especially blue on my nails and the staining afterwards is just ugly, but using CND Creative Play’s base coat, there was no blue left behind when I did remove my polish! My nails felt good surprisingly! Which is new to me, and GREAT! I highly recommend! As well will be purchasing this!!

Another lucky person who was chosen to review OxiClean’s Max Force White Revive Laundry Stain Remover & Booster-wow that was a mouthful! Thank you Chickadvisor!
I have some pretty old white tank tops *embarrassed face* well I should say not so white, that I layer and I soaked a couple for 2.5 hours in my sink then did a regular wash and man oh man what a difference from just that!! They appear white! I honestly was super surprised and didn’t have high hopes since they are older and nothing special but they have half their life back and then some.
I would for sure purchase and recommend! I don’t know why but I have never been a fan of bleach so this is a billion times better plus the smell is so good! Very pleased with this product.
Now I can just imagine combing the 3 products I got to review to tackle something really dirty!

I was excited to test out this OxiClean MaxForce Spray-thank you ChickAdvisor! I have heard good things from this from my Aunt literally hours before I got to use it, she mentioned it took pen out of an expensive light coloured coat she had purchased so I thought that was amazing!
I had purchase just a cheap white cotton shirt but ended up hating the fit of it and so I thought I would try staining this before using the product. I have Pen, Coffee and Ketchup on this shirt. I had let the shirt sit for a few hours so I think the stain was in there, I spray some MaxForce on it and let it sit for 2 hours while I was letting some other laundry soak…
Wow! I have to say this worked pretty darn amazing! I have a little bit of the ink showing but I have resprayed it before drying the shirt and I think it will take care of it. HIGHLY impressed!
I have attached my before and after photos, I am for sure putting away my not so scream worthy stain remover if you know what I mean.

I was Very lucky to have the chance to review some OxiClean Products from ChickAdvisor, thank you!!
I love doing laundry, I know that I am a pro by any means but I thought this would be fun products to test out especially since we always have laundry to do! Now this is kind of my first time really using OxiClean products in my home so I used the Versatile Stain Remover Powder with my laundry this weekend and I tried to throw in some extra dirty jeans I had from cleaning up the garage the day before and some dirty work shirts.
This worked FANTASTIC! I usually stick to one brand of stain remover and I almost am embarrassed to say I hadn’t branched out! I am glad I did!! This works great!!
My other part to this story is I was an auto detailer for years and someone had brought this in to test out for stains on head liners and or carpets/seats and it worked so well! I didn’t have a major chance to use it for months as I am out of that field but I was surprised how well it worked.
I for sure recommend this product!! As well I will ditch my other “stain” remover I was using for years.

Monat is a new found hair love for me! I was lucky to try a sample of this before buying. Of course was a little worried as my hair is bleached, over processed, fine and I use semi permeant hair dye so I wasn’t too sure how this would work with the color as I have been pretty loyal to my current salon brand.
I won’t ramble on too much but please read this if you are interested in the product and just notice my before and after photo without even trying it was crazy!
PROS:
-Over time of using this your hair strengthens thickens and hydrates your scalp (That’s where it begins!)
-I liked the smell, it isn’t your typical fruity (my favorite kind of scent) smell or anything like that but it just smells good to me. I am terrible at describing scents but it’s kind of earthy or something to me? I might be way off LOL
-My hair felt so soft after and I have soft hair already so that was surprising to me!
-Shinier! I don’t know if this is in my head but it seemed like it to me :)
-Even just having my hair look less frizzy on the over process ends was amazing!
I know I would have more to say about this product if I did have full size products since things take time to fully work, but I REALLY think it is worth a try!
CONS:
-Two cons…. I use semi permanent hair color and I did notice not using my regular shampoo this stripped the color more than my other brand I use, but thankfully I like my hair to fade into pastel colors!
-The last con might be the price as I am not rich sadly LOL. BUT again this product honestly seems to be something, I am a tad shocked in a good way! So I kind of see it in my future :)
I would recommend this! I would love to purchase a good couple months worth to really know if it would help with my fine hair (I plan on it when I can) but I would say yes for sure give this a go!

I am a hair color addict! I have tried around 10 different Joico Color Intensity’s color’s and have fallen in LOVE!
They are ammonia free, non damaging semi-permanent hair color. I absolutely love playing with different color’s with my hair, I enjoy the fact that you can ombre your hair with a little bit of conditioner with the colors. This is my second time using Sapphire Blue and it fades nicely which anyone with coloured hair can appreciate that!
The price is so adorable, I would never recommend anything other then these colors as they are rich and tailored to fade nicely. Affordable and last much longer than anything else I have tried.

I have very over processed fine hair and am constantly on the hunt for anything that will help my hair stay as healthy as possibly without weighing it down. Love love love the packaging, these bottles came with pumps which is an extra bonus to me. The labels on the bottles as well made me giggle because they are clever and true! An Argan oil product that doesn’t cost a fortune is extra points in my books! I have use this now for a good week with purple/blue hair, my colour is semi permanent but I haven’t noticed any difference then my regular salon shampoo as far as fading. This has a nice scent. It feels clean after one shampoo(some shampoos I need to use two times if it doesn’t lather well) as well the conditioner isn’t super heavy but it feels like it’s actually a little more then just a regular conditioner which is what we want with this product. Your hair feels so soft and shiny after! I would recommend this and will purchase again :) -

I was lucky enough to get to review Pure Leaf Green Tea with Jasmine Pyramid bags from ChickAdvisor and absolutely loved it!
First the packaging is very nice, and the pyramid bags look so cool and high quality. I do drink tea but usually just the basic so to me this seemed very nice.
The taste was absolutely delicious, I will 100% purchase the vanilla next! I will only share a little bit of my pyramid bags and hide the rest! ;) I am a huge fan of green tea and this was excellent!
