I was really pleased to be able to review Le Petit Marseillais crème body wash a second time. Thanks again Chick Advisor.
Having previously tested the Orange Blossom crème body wash I knew what to expect, quality wise. Le Petit is not an overbearing body wash, it is lighted scented, creates a nice foam and to be honest is really a high quality body wash.
I am a body wash obsessed gal. I have tested them all! I am really particular when it comes to buying body wash. Not all body washes were created equal.
A nice creamy body wash can be heaven, it becomes an experience. I appreciate the simple things in life.
At $4.99 a bottle it is comparable to other washes out in the market for a 490 ml bottle. I wish the price point were around $3.99, but as always, you do get what you pay for.
Le Petit Marseillais crème body wash is rich, creamy, lightly scented (it does not over power) and left a fresh scent on my body. I am a sucker for packaging (YAY Marketing) and I love the shape of the bottle, it's unique and draws me in every time I see them stacked at my local store.
It is a definite yes for me, I love Le Petit Marseillais washes and I am looking forward to more scents and products hitting Canadian shelves.

The Lemon Poppy Seed was a bit different taste wise than the PB/Chocolate combo. It had a slight medicinal taste to it. But I was ok with it. The hint of lemon and the poppy seed was enough for me.
I prefer a bar than honking down on a meal before working out and the bar is enough, no sugar rush to the head and I liked the taste. It does not taste like a candy bar (some other protein snacks def do).
Big pros to this bar is the Gluten Free status, the additional protein and the lack of sugar content.
I have a sweet tooth, but even I have my limits when it comes to protein/health bars. I like to know I am eating to help my body thrive during the day. I would purchase the Lemon Poppy seed if it came in a combo pack, but it would not be my first choice based on the slight medicinal taste to it.

I just received these tasty goodies for testing purposes and could not wait to review.
God they were good, I felt genuine guilt when I was munching on this bar this morning, lol, I'm sad. I needed a boost before my workout and these bars are perfect.
It's not syrupy, sugary, and it feels like you have had something solid. I can't eat before I workout (some can) and this was just enough of an energy boost to get me going.
The Chocolate PB combo is subtle and not overpowering, but the bar in general does have a "protein powder" taste to it, I didn't mind it.
Gluten Free is important these days and PowerBar Protein Plus are GLUTEN FREE! My Dad has to stick to a gluten free diet as he has severe reactions to gluten, but he is also a foodie who loves sweets, I have found him a new snack (bonus).
If you are a Power Bar kind of person, this is most def one of the better bars. 2 grams of sugar, 5 grams of fibre and 20 grams of protein. A good start to the day!

My TP game is STRONG!!!!
I grew up with the most weakest TP you could ever imagine, it was thinner than parchment paper. Now that I am an adult I get to choose my rolls...lol
I genuinely love Cottonelle, I don't use any other brand, I can't, too spoiled now. It's plump, lush, thick, whatever you call it, it works when wet, it doesn't fall apart, it is quite frankly the BEST toilet paper out in the market today.
No complaints, and normally every few weeks Walmart cycles its deals and the Cottonelle Ultra Bathroom Tissue tends to be on SALE.

Becel has been my go to brand for quite some time. I haven't used butter in decades.
I use Becel for everything!
Baking,cooking,buttering bread,everything is margarine.
It has a simplistic taste,a soft texture and it enhances the flavour.
My favourite Becel margarine is the Olive Oil,the picture is the standard original Becel Margarine (they ran out of the Olive Oil).
Light taste,works well with everything,you can't go wrong with Becel products. You're helping your heart :)

I cook with oil quite a bit and you tend to figure out the difference between a poorly performing oil and an excellent oil. Becel is genuinely your A+ performer.
The taste is outstanding and the oil is a nice consistency. I use Olive oils for omelettes, some veggies, meats, etc. and I tend to notice when the oil hinders or enhances the flavour of the foods.
I genuinely had the best tasting omelette I have had in a very long time the other night, I am thinking about making a full commitment to Becel Olive Plus.
If you are like me and taste test and use a variety of oils, add Becel Olive Plus to your #1 list.

Le Petit Marseillais Extra Gentle Shower Crème in Orange Blossom

I loved the packaging (I love packaging) but this particular scent was too light for me.
I was hoping for a stronger scent being that it was "Orange Blossom", I thought it was going to smell like the Strawberry Shortcake doll "Orange Blossom", lol, it didn't.
It was creamy and it had a nice lather and I like how my skin felt soft after each use. I wanted to compare and contrast with other scents, but none could be found at my local Walmart/Shoppers.
I love the brand/branding, love the packaging, I just need to test out the other scents to find my face :)

Love PERSIL !
Glad they finally brought it into the North American market.
I was born in the UK and its a standard over there, we grew up having our clothes washed in Persil.
My normal "go to" laundry liquid detergent is Gain and lately U have purchased Persil. It has a great scent, which lingers on your clothing (yay) and it's got a great price point.
Well worth the try!

I'm lactose intolerant and I still had belly issues eating this ice cream. Will I be eating it again? Hell yes!
I have never adhered to the no milk, no dairy, no yogurt, no ice cream rules and regs of the Lactose Intolerant community. I simply deal with the discomfort. I may seem out in left field, but I have yet to find any product that prevents my tummy from a rumbling, well maybe Lacteese products.
With that out of the way...God this stuff is super, yummy awesomeness! Is it waaay overprice, of course it is! Am I willing to pay for it once in a while, oh my god yes!
Pricey, yes, super yummy, yes and is it worth you spending on average between $3.99-$5.99, yes! Forgo that one mortgage payment and indulge!

Cute bottle, fun foam, but necessary?
I received the OxiClean™ MaxForce™ Foam Laundry Pre-Treater to test via the Chick Advisor review club.
I loved the idea of the foam, the fact that it was a pre-treater, but I think I prefer the Oxi powder. I found myself wondering if the foam was a necessary product, was it needed in lieu of the Oxi Clean powder? Maybe in some instances with regards to grease stains or food stains. But for me I would rather get that stain out now and deal with it now.
For minimal stains and for certain stains you can deal with at a later date, yes, but I found myself reaching for the Oxi Clean Powder based product.
I feel the foam is less evasive, you foam and go, but I'm a results driven person and prefer to see my results instantly.
