I received this product for free as part of the Product Review Club.
Instructions are vague - you can use this either on damp or dry skin. Given it's the summer now in Toronto, my skin isn't terribly dry. As such, I used it on damp skin. A little goes a long way! Has a light subtle scent, doesn't leave my skin greasy, and absorbs quickly. Fringe benefit of this oil - I found that I save a minute or 2 off my bathroom time! Easier than using traditional lotion after showing!

No lie - I was pretty disappointed with this one. I received the bar as part of the product review club, and was totally looking forward to try it. My go-to flavors, when it comes to protein shakes/bar is peanut butter. I felt that the texture was too soft ... to the point where i could probably swallow without much chewing. Also, I didn't think there was enough "peanutty flavor". I would likely pass on this one in the future. There are tons of other products on the market that taste better. -

I received this as part of the Product Review Club.
Not bad at all - tastes good, and 20g of protein. I generally take either a protien bar or shake after my workouts, and I would definitely consider this as part of my rotation. There are only 3g of sugar (17g of sugar alcohol), which can be appealing to some. However, there aren't any BCAAs or L Glutamine included if you usually take those supplements. The lemon poppy seed flavor wasnt bad - didnt seem TOO artificial. The texture was soft, and not like the usual taffy/chewy protein bars.

Subtly scented daily moisturizer - love it!
I received this as part of the product review club, and was glad I was able to try it. I'm not sure how effective it is, in the long-term... but as a daily, post-shower moisturizer, it does what it's supposed to do. Was easy to use, and absorbed quickly. I didn't mind the scent too much, but some may find it too strong. Product was priced right - $7CAD for the 473ml size. There are tons of choices on the market, but I'll be keeping this in mind in the future.

Bumble & Bumble Don't Blow It
Luckily, I purchased this at a sample sale, so it was fairly cheap ($5 USD for 60ml). It's advertised as a styler for those a fan of air-drying their hair. It claims to tame flyaways, etc. As someone who's quite lazy when it comes to hair care, I... +
Luckily, I purchased this at a sample sale, so it was fairly cheap ($5 USD for 60ml). It's advertised as a styler for those a fan of air-drying their hair. It claims to tame flyaways, etc. As someone who's quite lazy when it comes to hair care, I was excited to try this. However, I don't think it worked at all! I had just as many fly aways after using this product. At least it smells nice?? I would've been super annoyed if I paid regular price for this ($17CAD for 60ml). -
Nutella Hazelnut Spread
I also call this "chocolate crack". So good, but so unhealthy. I definitely use this as a treat. If I'm feeling particularly indulgent, I'll spread this - along with peanut butter - on my toast. Hello! Reese peanut butter on bread!! A little dollop... +
I also call this "chocolate crack". So good, but so unhealthy. I definitely use this as a treat. If I'm feeling particularly indulgent, I'll spread this - along with peanut butter - on my toast. Hello! Reese peanut butter on bread!! A little dollop of this in my latte also changes my morning routine. -
Vector Cereal
I'm not sure why they call this a meal replacement. It looks like cereal, tastes like cereal, and keeps me "full" like cereal (read: it doesn't). It's too sweet for my personal preference, with 11g of sugar in 1 serving (55g). For reference, Two... +
I'm not sure why they call this a meal replacement. It looks like cereal, tastes like cereal, and keeps me "full" like cereal (read: it doesn't). It's too sweet for my personal preference, with 11g of sugar in 1 serving (55g). For reference, Two Scoops Raisin Bran has 15g (per 55g serving) and Captain Crunch as ~26g (per 60g serving). So perhaps a little less than others, but don't kid yourselves - it's not healthy. Certainly, there are worse choices for you in the cereal aisle. -
Walkerswood Jamaican Mild Jerk Seasoning
Love this seasoning!!! Makes chicken breast go from ho-hum boring to exciting. Depending on who is eating, I'll use either the mild jar, or spicy. Definitely makes a casual weeknight dish more exciting.

Love baking with lactancia unsalted butter!! Ideally, I prefer the country-churned style (silver packaging), but will use the gold/purple one in a pinch. The quartered sticks make it even easier when it comes to prep work. Lets face it - who ever cuts EXACTLY the amount they need the first try? -
NIVEA Q10 Anti-Age Hand Cream
Lightweight hand cream that is scented subtly. Claims to be anti-aging ... but not sure how I'd even test that claim. It's not greasy, and absorbs fairly fast. However, it doesn't last. Definitely need to reapply after washing hands. Then again... +
Lightweight hand cream that is scented subtly. Claims to be anti-aging ... but not sure how I'd even test that claim. It's not greasy, and absorbs fairly fast. However, it doesn't last. Definitely need to reapply after washing hands. Then again, it's not expensive ($6 for 100ml at Walmart), so it doesn't sting my wallet too much! I received this as part of the Product Review Club, and may repurchase in the future. -
