Have you ever sat there amidst plucking eyebrow hairs with tweezers, eyes watering, wishing there was something easier and more precise than just shaving your eyebrows off? Well say hello to the answer: Flawless brows made easy, with a pencil sharp personal shaver. This pen device is brilliant, with a light for added visibility. It's as loud as a tiny motor would be (spoiler alert, it's loud for the size) and easy as pulling your brow tight and doing little circles over the offending hair. Rose gold and fancy feeling, this little baby will run you less than the cost of a wax and tip. In our area, anyway. The nice thing is, there's a battery in the package, so that you're ready to roll right out of the box!
You can't go wrong with this brilliant device, especially if you're done with DIY waxing. (Your eyebrows don't lie, they're done with it.)

So, it's always fun to find something that tastes great and is great for you! These Sambucol gummies are just that. They're a little tart, a lot sweet and great to be taking every day. Not just you, but the entire family. All in all, other than the sugar content (which I did deduct a star for), I would purchase this for my family during sick season.

Now normally I love Clarins, I've used plenty of their products - but the Re-Boost I received in the Chick Advisor Eco Box just fell short for me. The smell was the first thing that hit me, and it is strong. Very floral too, which for me is a total turn off, unfortunately! Beyond that, as with every lotion, a little goes a long way, so the size of the tube would last me a long while (if I wanted to keep using it beyond 2 weeks.) Overall effectiveness I would have to say is a neutral for me - I didn't notice much of a difference beyond my normal moisturizer, BUT... And this is a big but - I think should I keep using it, it wouldn't aggrivate my skin either, which is actually a huge bonus when there's that much fragrance involved. Honestly, for myself and those like my skin type (oily, combo, acne prone.) wouldn't recommend. -

So here's a product that I want to be able to use desperately, but I'm just too smelly to manage, apparently. What I'm reviewing is a natural, non-aluminum antiperspirant. Now the problem here isn't that it doesn't work, it's that I would need to wipe down and reapply, likely at least 3 times a day.The smell of it is wonderful, so no need to worry about that. The formula goes on smooth and stays on for quite some time - I REALLY started to notice my own smell around the 4 pm mark, which isn't terrible considering I applied it around 9 am. Overall, would say give this a try to see if it works for you, as for me it wasn't a perfect fit. -
teapigs Rooibos Crème Caramel

I have to say, with a name like Teapigs, you wonder what you're going to get in a package - is it going to taste like a barn? Will it smell weird? I can honestly say: no, to either of the above. The tea smells wonderful, and tastes better than it smells... Because let's face it, smell versus taste can be deceiving. With a tiny bit of honey, I've already used half the teabags because they're SO good and are a great midday pick me up without the caffiene. Overall, I say it would be a great purchase! (I got them free as part of the chick advisor eco box.) -

I received this shampoo as part of a chick advisor box campaign, and let me tell you - while I have a very specific hair routine, I'm not adverse to adding this to it when it's time to change shampoos! While the bottle isn't huge, you don't need a large amount to get the job done - and for reference, I have quite a bit of hair in terms of length and thickness. The scent is light without being overpowering or too floral, which I'm not a huge fan of. Overall, besides the size of the bottle (I can't speak to price, as this was a #freeproduct) I recommend trying it! -

I have been using this product for 3 plus years after searching desperately for something that would moisturize the face all day and not leave me greasy, or allow me a second application without the added grease. What I found was Neutrogena gel cream. I absolutely love that a little goes a long way and I can grab it at Costco often in 2 packs, so the value is doubled! There is no smell to it, which is nice - I cannot handle a chemical or perfume smell from my products. All in all, 5 stars for everything but price - it could come down a little. -

I received this product free from Chick Advisor to try out in exchange for an unbiased review. I've tried it out a couple times now and have to say, while I love a good shower, I don't always love washing my hair. The Batiste foam hair cleanser does a good job at staving off the hair washing for one more night - It leaves your hair shiny and soft, and the smell is nice without being too floral. Would definitely recommend for those on the go. -

Full disclosure before I get into the actual review - I received this product free through Chick Advisor to review, although it's one of my favourite flavours of pop since last year. This is just one of those seasonal items that I wait for, all year round. Instead of using Canada Dry Ginger Ale and cranberry juice, they premixed it in a pretty little can to chill and enjoy! The value is fairly standard across the board for a 12 can case of pop these days, so you know what you're looking at when you go to buy one. (Plus deposit, of course.) The taste... Well, it's so crisp and clean, and every can is bursting with maximum carbonation, which I love. Nothing worse than opening a can of pop and it's already flat.
There isn't anything about this flavour of ginger ale that I don't like, but make sure that you're fond of the taste of cranberry juice before trying, because as it says... It does tend to have that tart cranberry flavour. Would definitely recommend, as a casual pop drinker.

Temptations Cat Treats
If I'm downstairs at a window my cat can find, she is there, pawing, meowing. Is it to get in? No, it's for me to come out. There's been a bad habit of codependancy started here, where we come out to do something, she begs, we give treats. We want... +
If I'm downstairs at a window my cat can find, she is there, pawing, meowing. Is it to get in? No, it's for me to come out. There's been a bad habit of codependancy started here, where we come out to do something, she begs, we give treats. We want her to come to us, the treats come out. We want her to leave us alone when she's trying to trip us while carrying something in, the treats come out. Needless to say, these treats are very popular in this house. Definitely would recommend for any cat house! -
