I used to use an Aveeno facial scrub when I was younger, but hadn't tried this product yet. When I was chosen to try it through chickadvisor, I was thrilled!
Now, I am a cleanser addict, and I routinely bounce between 4 different cleansers depending on the day and how my skin is feeling. Now, you know this is a good one because it's been the one I've been reaching for every time since it arrived!
It has a light fresh scent, lathers well and rinses clean without leaving my skin feeling tight or dry.. this is huge since it's winter and I have hard water! Two thumbs up for sure. Usually I double-cleanse when I'm wearing makeup, but this cleanser does double duty for me! It removes my makeup with one wash, even my waterproof mascara! Which I was not expecting, but it was a very welcome surprise.
The bottle is attractive and the pump makes it easy to get the right amount out of the bottle every time. I love pump dispensers. I've been using this morning and night for a week now and my skin looks brighter too. Even my husband asked me, unprompted, if I had "used a mask or something" because my skin looked "glowy". Ok, sold! I'll be keeping this in my arsenal for sure.

I was selected to try this product through chickadvisor, and it was my first time using a hair mascara so I was a complete newbie. Luckily for me, this product is easy to apply, even for someone inexperienced!
I have terrible roots as it's been about 5 months since my last dye (yikes!), so I had a lot of root area to work with. I had the shade dark blonde, which is slightly darker than my natural hair color but it blends in well. I used it further down my hair as well, to give sort of a "low light" effect into my lighter ends.
I found the product applied easily, it felt sort of dry going on and dried quickly on my hair. The brush is like a bigger mascara brush, with a lot of bristles. That makes it very simple to apply it where you need it, as well as to apply multiple layers of it to the same section of hair if you need greater coverage. I found brushing it over the same streak of hair several times coated the hair well without making it feel chunky or clumpy. The first coat went on slightly patchy but I just went over it several times and it blended out easy.
After I was happy with the coverage, I styled my hair like normal. The color stayed in my hair well and didn't flake off or feel gritty or waxy in my hair throughout the day. I'd say the overall feel of the product in my hair was somewhat comparable to a dry shampoo. Very lovely.
The size of the product is like a jumbo mascara, so it will last quite some time. Definitely recommend it to those who are between dyes and are looking for something to cover up greys, as it's truly quick and easy.

You should see my tea cabinet, of all my tea stash, black teas are my favorite. Something about a rich warm cup with a splash of almond milk is just bliss. And tazo's awake black tea never disappoints! I like that the tea bags are big enough to really convey the flavour and make a strong cup, which I live for. The stronger, the better! I let mine steep. I find tazo at restaurants most often, and when I do, I'm always relieved, because I know it'll be a great cup. Highly recommend! -

If you're a chai tea fan, you know the quest for the perfect chai can be strenuous! Usually I make mine from scratch, but when there's no time to simmer, this is the packaged version! I like that the premix can be heated up or used cold with ice to make the most refreshing iced chai in a hurry. Ever since I found these in bulk at Costco, I keep some in my dry storage so I'll always have some on hand. Saves me a little cash at the coffee shop, too! -

I'm a tea fiend, and I love a mint tea in the morning or after a big meal, to help with digestion. It's also my go-to when I'm feeling sick, something about mint just calms and soothes when I'm not feeling well. I've tried a lot of different mint teas, but I keep going back to Tazo! Their mint packs a powerful punch without getting bitter or overwhelming. Highly recommend for those who love their minty teas! -

This is the best deodorant I've ever used. It has a light pleasant floral scent that lingers all day, and is powerful enough that I never have to reapply mid-day. The packaging feels good in the hand, looks classic and the screw-off lid is secure. You get a lot of product for the price, and it lasts for ages! I've tried to wean myself off of it in favor of more cost effective deodorants but truly nothing compares, and I always go back. Strongly recommend! -

I bought this palette for my wedding as I was doing my own makeup and wanted something special. This palette has a wide selection of beautiful, creamy neutrals with enough variation to do many simple eye looks. It's my "one and done" palette, which has a highlight, base, liner, transition shades on top of the basic lid colors. You can do warm orange, bronze, beige, gold, smoky, rose or rose gold looks with this palette! The matte shades build up well and blend well, and the shimmer/velvet formulas really pop with a wet brush application.
The formula is very buttery and pigmented, but works best with a primer if you need it to be budgeproof. It comes with a double ended brush as well as a mirror.

This was my first time trying milk makeup and I'm less than impressed. I loved the concept of a stick primer for ease of use, but this felt too dry on my dry skin and looked a bit cakey on. I tried it under foundation and it showed cakey, I tried it over foundation and it looked too powdery and white. Not for me. -

Didn't work for my dehydrated hair! Left the mask on as indicated and rinsed out yet this didn't rinse clean enough.. my hair felt heavy and looked greasy quicker than normal. I tried again several times, using less and less, but still had the same result. My hair did feel softer but any oil would do that. Not a fan! -
