I received a free sample of Catelli Supergreens Fusilli from @chickadvisor to try and review.
I used the fusilli to make a cold pasta salad for a family pot luck dinner. I made the pasta according to the package directions and came out with a wonderful al dente pasta. I was amazed to see that it didn't dry out and clump together after it was cooled.
The colour of this pasta came out rich and once it was mixed with tomatoes and olives made a very attractive dish. The flavour was wonderful and the pasta wasn't heavy. I didn't feel like I was being forced to eat veggies.
The benefits of all the green veggies are amazing but it doesn't bog down the pasta. Everyone gave good feedback on my salad. The one negative is that there wasn't more.

I received a box of the Catelli Smart Veggie Spaghetti free from @chickadvisor to try and review.
I tried this product by making the recipe Creamy One Pot Spaghetti provided by the review club with the box of pasta.
The spaghetti cooked well and had a wonderful consistency and colour. It looks like a regular pasta and holds well to the sauce.
I'm impressed with the fiber content and the 1/2 serving of vegetables. It's easy to eat healthier without having to adapt to a complete change of flavour or taste.
Definitely an item on my next shopping list!

This facial cleansing lotion comes in a fair sized bottle with a lid the closes securely with no worry of leaking or dripping.
I used this product in the morning and before bed. I was impressed by the way my skin felt after just a few days. It was soft and smooth but not tight. The scent was just enough without being overwhelming. The ingredients make this cleanser effective without being harsh.
This cleanser is easy to use, cleans well and is a definite A+ in my daily skin care ritual!

I received a sample of the NIVEA Protect & Care Anti-perspiration/deodorant from @chickadvisor to try and review.
The NIVEA anti-perspirant/deodorant comes in a good size and can be recognized by the NIVEA blue colour.
This product has a wonderfully fresh scent. It made my underarms feel soft and smooth while keeping odour away. The product does not go on thick and doesn't clump or gather in creases. I purposely skipped a day to see if it held up to its claim of 48 hour effectiveness and I was surprised to find that I could still smell nothing but the NIVEA anti-perspirant/deodorant.
Definitely a must have!

I received a sample of NIVEA Creme Care Facial Cleansing Wipes free from @chickadvisor to try and review.
These wipes do exactly what they advertise. They come in a resealable package in the wonderful blue colour that NIVEA is known for. The package is fully portable and can be carried around easily in with your toiletries with no worries of drying out or opening.
The wipes were soft to the touch and had a fresh and light scent. They effectively removed heavy makeup without having to scrub and left my face feeling clean and soft. There wasn't the tightness that is left behind by some other cleansing wipes after cleaning my face. These are great for daily use and easy to fit into any skincare/cleansing routine.

I like that there are different sized tins of the Creme available. This makes it easy to take with you if need be and have just the size you need. The tin is wonderful also to give as a gift.
Both my daughter and I used the NIVEA Creme. I used it on my feet where I suffer from constant dry skin. This was amazing! It made my feet soft without them feeling greasy or slippery and took away the dryness after just a few uses.
My daughter used the NIVEA Creme on some of her eczema spots and it brought relief to her as well. It helped with the itchiness and provided deep down moisture. She says she found results better with the NIVEA Creme than some prescription creams.
Definitely worth using!

I received a sample of the Nivea Easential Lip Balm from the @chickadvisor product review club to use and review.
I found the lip balm to be a good size to keep with you everywhere you go. It has a subtle scent and doesn't go on feeling gloppy or heavy. I used this product before bed as I suffer from dry lips at night. The lip balm kept my lips hydrated for the whole night and left them feeling soft for the whole next day. I found that using this every night also kept my lips from drying out as fast by keeping them moist long after the balm was applied.
I continue to use the Nivea Essential lip balm and will replace the product I was previously using. Thanks NIVEA!

*I received the Adrien Gagnon Super Energex free from the Chickadvisor Review Club to sample and review*
I really need a product of this type as I always find myself hitting a mid afternoon slump, so I was excited to be accepted for the chance to review this product.
The packaging is alright and the ampules are a good size so you can take them with you anywhere, whether travelling or if you have breakfast away from home.
The first time trying this I mixed it in water. This was not a wise choice as there is nothing to mask of the taste of the actual tonic which doesn't taste in any way like an orange flavour. It is better in a flavoured juice where the taste is covered up.
I did find that the product helped me get through the day better with a little more sustainable energy and I didn't drag throughout the afternoon. All in all, not a bad product but I would suggest removing the orange from the packaging as it is misleading.

*I received the Adrien Gagnon Decadent Fudge Nutriforme Bars free from the Chickadvisor Review Club to sample and review*
I try to avoid meal replacement bars because I find them very bland and unfulfilling. When I first picked up these bars and felt how heavy they were, I must admit I was disappointed because I thought I would be tasting a big chunk of blah. I am very happy to admit I was wrong!
The chocolate fudge of these bars is rich and flavourful and makes you feel like you are almost eating dessert. They are thick and chewy. Dare I say too chewy? I did find myself a bit tired of chewing by the end of the bar but it did fill me up and keep the hunger away until my next meal.
It's a great product to throw in your purse or bag for those times when you find yourself out and about at mealtime and just can't stop to eat.
It's packed with vitamins and protein and helps with weight loss when used as directed. It definitely tastes like it has more calories than it does!

I grabbed this cake to take for a dessert to a last minute get together. I loved that there was a carrot flavour, as I needed an alternative to chocolate. By the time dinner was over the cake was at a perfect temperature to serve and wasn't frozen in the middle.
The carrot flavour was very good and the icing was the perfect topping, not too sweet or overpowering.
I do find the price a bit high for the size of the package but I will buy it in the future for a treat or go to dessert to grab on the way.
