This powder is almost flavourless and mixes really well, which isn't the case for all supplement powders. I rated the effectiveness at 5 also, but please note I would have preferred to do n/a since I had to stop using it. It turns out because kidney problems run in my family that I shouldn't use creatine. I used it for a couple of months and my muscle growth has been good, though, so I didn't see it as fair to rate it lower.
Anyway -- this tub lasts for ages. My husband has been using it even after I stopped and given how fast we go through protein powder I am impressed at the value for this product.
If you want to supplement your weight/resistance training then this is a great buy!

This is another great outing from St. ives lotions. It's left my skin feeling soft and refreshed, and smelling great. Its not too greasy, either. I can't tell if my skin is younger or anything like that, but I would definitely say this lotion does the trick, and all without smelling too flowery and sweet -- something that drives me nuts. -

I liked the Dove Powder anti-perspirant stick quite a bit, and even purchased it a second time when it was on sale. I like the texture because it's smooth and feels moisturizing. I like the scent because it's gentle without being flowery or overpowering -- I am sensitive to overly-sweet scents so this was important to me. Finally, it worked. I tend to reapply every day, so I rarely give myself a chance to have it NOT work I guess, but hey -- it definitely worked for me. :) -

IÖGO creamy in a pouch was everything: taste, convenience, happiness in a pouch!
We got the peach flavour and it was fresh-tasting and had a great, creamy texture (as advertised). I liked the pouch format because it was easy to stick in my fridge wherever there was room. It also feels like less waste -- though I don't have data to back it up or anything. It also lasted a longer time than usual. I have a teenager in the house and large food packages are a must!
It felt odd squishing yogurt out of a spigot at first, but it didn't take long for me to feel like the pouch just makes sense. I will definitely buy this again on my own, after enjoying this free sample (in exchange for an honest review).

Canada Dry Club Soda Orange-Mandarin is great! I already love these club soda products that have a fruit essence to them, but I hadn't tried this one before. I got my free sample 12-pack to try not long ago, and I put it in the fridge right away to get cold. A few hours later I was in citrus heaven!
This product, and others like it, are not sweetened at all. They're calorie-free, bubbly water with an essence. One cool thing about these is how versatile they are: I happen to enjoy it plain, but my husband had some in a mixed drink and it added a great flavour to a cocktail, too. Sometimes I mix them with a little fruit juice to cut the calories and sugar of drinking the juice alone. My 13-year-old step-son likes those juice mixes, too, for that matter!
Anyway, I would absolutely recommend this to anyone who wants a refreshing, lively drink without the calories and sugar.

This is the best commercial hot chocolate I have ever had. It's rich, flavourful, and has a dark chocolate sensibility that I love. Most other hot chocolate is just way too sweet and not enough character, so when this was recommended to me I was skeptical. But WOW is it good! A spoonful in my coffee is also pretty spectacular, for that matter.
I rated the value a little lower than the taste and quality, because it is in the natural food section and is pricier, but given that it supports sustainable communities and fair agricultural prices, I have no problem spending a little more for a treat, even if I can't afford to do that for everything.
Highly recommended product.

I never thought I'd say "wow" about a dish soap, but here I am.
Wow.
This was a bit pricier than some, but given how little I have to use, and how well it works, I expect this to be cheaper per use than most things. Indeed, a little goes a long way, and with many other dish soaps -- even some premium ones -- I have to re-add in soap while doing dishes. Definitely not with this one! This is strong stuff, and the food comes off so easily after the briefest of soaks. I don't know what's in it, but it's real-deal.
The scent is a bit like a body wash, which is a little weird, but it's not unpleasant.
I highly recommend this dish soap. Boy -- you know you're getting old when you highly recommend a dish soap. :D

I have used other dry shampoos in the past, and this one keeps up with the quality of other products, such as Got2Be, that I normally use. This does a couple of things that the other brands I get don't, though: for one, the package is larger, and the value goes up because of it. The pricing is pretty similar to smaller packages. Also the scent of Dove is preferable to me than that of Got2B, which has a more cologne-ish scent. Dove's scent is gentler and blends into the background better, which is what I want. I will definitely purchase this when I need dry shampoo in the future. Great product!
I included images that show before and after use, and you can see how clean and light my hair looks after use. Not weighted down and greasy. So happy with it!

This is my go-to salsa. I use a couple of jars a month. The taste is good and fresh, and the consistency is thick without being overly chunky. If you love salsa verde this is for you, absolutely. If you've never tried it, this is a good place to start. Tasty stuff, and I hope PC keeps making it forever. -
