I received this product to try as part of the Chick Review Club. This was my least favorite of the the three flavors I was given to try. I thought that the mango flavoring tasted like perfume...too floral. I love coconut, so I was excited to try, but the mango completely overpowered the coconut to me. I shared this bar with my husband, who loved it, so to each their own. ;-) Also, I could not taste any of the chocolate, just flowery mango. I would only buy this at my husband's request, and he said he would buy this from the store. -

I received this bar of chocolate to try for the Chick Review Club. This was the favorite of the three flavors I was given. As with the others, the design of the chocolate bar is lovely. I liked the chewy blueberry pieces and the crunch from the almond. I felt that I could taste some of the chocolate in this bar, although it isn't the greatest quality chocolate. I would buy this bar from the store. -
Ergo Baby Carrier in Galaxy Grey

At first, I was intimidated by the ergo, but once a friend showed me how to use it properly, I don't know how I loved without it! I love this carrier and so does my little one. I love how sturdy it feels and the front pocket allows me to shove a diaper, my phone, and keys and walk out the door! I'm even more in love now that I know how to wear my little one on my back!!! -

I loved wearing the Fitbit Zip. I have a fancy dress code at work, so can't really get away with wearing a fitness monitor on my wrist. The Fitbit zip is so small I can attach it innocuously under my clothes (like on my bra) and track all of my steps for the day. I love being able to challenge myself and make myself top 10,000 steps a day. I only get very frustrated when I have to change he battery. I've lost the tool the Fitbit came with and while you would think a coin or a screwdriver would work, this has proven very difficult in the past. I also love that I can connect my Fitbit to My Fitness Pal to track calories burned. But a word to the wise, don't attach the Fitbit zip to your bra and then go through airport security, unless you want to flash everyone the security line! -
Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment in Honey
I love this product because t is a great natural color for my kids. I can apply it without a mirror and it just makes me look a bit more pulled together. If I only have time to put on two things it is this and mascara. Unfortunately, the price is... +
I love this product because t is a great natural color for my kids. I can apply it without a mirror and it just makes me look a bit more pulled together. If I only have time to put on two things it is this and mascara. Unfortunately, the price is outrageous. I tend to ask for this as a present, and am impressed by how long it lasts, given how often I wear it. -

I love this place. The staff are so friendly and the food is absolutely delicious. As long as you aren't in a rush to leave, this is such a fun place to come on a date or with a group of friends. I've only been for dinner, but they also are open for a lunch buffet. Truly a special place in Calgary. I've enjoyed every meal and love that I don't feel rushed. One time a group of us stayed way past closing and the staff never said a word. They were happy for us to hang out and enjoy ourselves. -
Trader joe's speculoos cookie butter
This stuff is amazing! If you can't find this, because I know Trader Joe's isn't everywhere (why not???), Biscoff also makes a spread that may be easier to come by. Basically, this spread is made from ground cookies that taste like fall. It's like a... +
This stuff is amazing! If you can't find this, because I know Trader Joe's isn't everywhere (why not???), Biscoff also makes a spread that may be easier to come by. Basically, this spread is made from ground cookies that taste like fall. It's like a gingersnap flavor with the spreadable quality of peanut butter. The stuff just needs to be eaten with a spoon, but it can be baked in to all sorts of yummy items or spread on a crepe. It's like a cookie-flavored version of Nutella. Definitely try some of you can! -

Our little one started to leak overnight at 3-4 months old. My husband actually brought these home and I was so upset because he bought the wrong diaper, but I'm so glad he did! These were lifesavers! Our little one hasn't leaked since, and that means longer periods of sleep for us. Can't recommend these enough! -

We have been using Nestle Good Start since out little bean was born. It was the brand suggested to us by a nurse/lactation consultant, so he has been on this formula for almost a year. We've tried other brands, but they don't sit as well with our little one's stomach. The formula mixes easily with warm water, but sometimes needs an extra shake or two to mix completely. Sometimes, small chunks of formula do clog the bottle's nipple, but it is no big deal. No matter what style of container, it is always tricky to get the last drops of powder out of the box. We rely on Nestle Good Start for our little one and would highly recommend it, despite its very steep price tag.

I received this product to review by ChickAdvisor, and I'm so glad I did. I love this stuff. I can't sew to save my life and I don't have a lot of extra money to spend on tailoring, so this product is perfect! It was so easy to apply to my clothing and the staying power seems great. I haven't put anything through too much of a wash, but I'm so excited to be able to hem some of my clothes without spending a lot of money. You get so many strips in the package, I'm very impressed by the value of the product for the money. I will definitely keep these in my purse, my desk, and be telling all of my friends about it. -
