Took this to my cabin (very environmentally sensitive location) as it is a natural wood product. That was pretty much the only thing I liked about it. It's rather expensive, and very lighweight, so everytime my cat buried his business, a large amount of litter got kicked out, and the litterbox has convex walls to prevent that. Had to sweep the area after each use. It's never been an issue before. Another problem was the smell. Unscented in one thing, but this wood litter reminded me of a pet store smell with gerbils and hamsters. Clumping of urine was quite poor - always fell apart when scooping. Will only use at cabin, not at home. Disappointed! -
Canada Dry Lemonade Flavoured Ginger Ale
The adults and teens in my family loved this flavour. Great as a mix for cocktails or on its own. Not too lemon-y or ginger-y but just right for fans of either flavour. Will keep on hand this summer!

After reading other reviews, I decided not to use this product on my cool/light coloured blonde hair. I did not want to add warm tones as that is something I try to avoid. Instead, I gave it to my daughter to use on her natural, untreated light brown/honey coloured hair. After a couple of weeks of use, her natural blonde highlights are more noticable, especially in the sunshine. Her hair feels nicely conditioned and smells great, even two days after shampooing. She now wants to try other products in the go blonder line. -

On the "plus" side, immediately after application, my usually dry, tight 53 year-old skin felt comfortable. Absorbed immediately, didn't leave a shine or greasy feel. The consistency is rather thick, probably best for dry thirsty skin. This product would probably be too heavy for someone with combination skin, but to be fair it is clearly marked "for dry skin"
Caveats: I personally prefer unscented products and this cream is noticibly scented, but it was not irritating to my skin. I don't like my products to fight with my chosen perfume! Also, it is quite pricey, more than I would usually pay for a moisturizer. If I see a noticible improvement in my skin's fine lines and tone when I finish the jar, I will buy it, because even though I am budget-minded, if a product delivers, I will pay the extra.
I did receive this product for free from Chick Advisor as a review campaign, but that does not affect my opinion.

This flavour was our second favourite of the three we were sent. Power Bar brand has come a long way in product development, these are nothing like the bars back in the 90's! Very nice texture, very enjoyable, will purchase again, helps to keep my teens filled up at school as a satisfying snack. For them, it's all about flavour! -
PowerBar Plant Protein Cashew, Salted Caramel and Dark Chocolate
So yummy, tasted like a treat :) This was my teens' favourite flavour of the three we were sent to try. I like the vegan protein, nice texture and no funny aftertaste. Will buy again!

Saw this product advertised on t.v. and decided to try it, I was needing hairspray and it was well-priced on sale. So glad I did! I have fine, chin-length hair, I bought the "level 2" hold and I love it. Some hairspray blasts out too strongly which blows my hair out of place before I can spray it but not this one. No stiffness or stickiness and keeps my blow-dry style all day (no rollers or curling iron used). My hair moves naturally - no helmet head. Scent is light and pleasant. No vodka-like smell (is it only me that hates that typical hairspray smell?) Would definitely recommend, at least for my hair type! -

I tried this product after experiencing interrupted sleep, which was unusual for me. On the upside, it worked the very first night I used it, it does not need to "build up" in the body before having an effect. On the downside, after three nights, I started waking up in the morning with a headache. I did have a good sleep though. Apparently a small number of people get headaches, others I have spoken to had no problem. Having said that, I'd probably use it again as I can treat a headache and I'd rather not suffer through a day of fatigue. -

Tried this after seeing it featured on "Cityline" t.v. show. I have honestly never used a better green concealer/primer, and this is the fourth one I've bought! Great price, and covers the mild redness in my cheeks, lasts all day. I first moisturize, then use a neutral all-over face primer, then this correcting pen. After a few min. I use a powder mineral foundation and my 52-year old face looks almost naturally flawless without looking overdone! Neutral scent, nice texture, thicker than Maybelline's other green primer and much more effective. -
