I received a sample of Pantene's Sheer Volume Weightless Shampoo and Conditioner some time ago but never got around to trying it. As luck would have it I ran out of my normal shampoo and had no choice but to give it a try! I've used Pantene before (usually the Sleek and Smooth 2 in1) and have always liked the fact that their shampoo always made my hair feel light, shiny and smooth - even after the first wash. However for some reason this new clear weightless shampoo made my hair feel heavy and dirty like I took a whole bottle of hairspray and applied it right in the shower. As far as their products go, I'm not impressed with this one - I'll stick to my Sleek and Smooth!

This site is perfect if you're in a hurry but want to cash in on some great contest opportunities throughout Canada. You can easily sift through the content and directly enter the contests. The site also informs you of restrictions (provinces, ages, etc.), deadlines and frequency in which you can enter. A handy little site if you want more exclusive contests not found in other sites of similar nature.

Red Flag Deals reminds me of eBay, there's soooooooooo much content here BUT I noticed that it generates content based on your current location - which is super handy. Its basically like a gigantic online flyer listing literally EVERYTHING in your local region that's on sale and which store has it in stock. I'm not talking little mom & pop shops, I'm talking big box retailers like Walmart, Future Shop, Staples, etc. Unlike the million other websites offering coupons and savings, this site also has user perks like Cash Back - which as I understand it: the site gives you a certain percentage back for using their site to shop online at your favorite retailers. Not sure how long it would take for you to earn the minimum of $5 for payout (via PayPal - $50 for cheques), but it sounds reasonable. I don't shop online enough to make it worth my while, but someone who frequently shops online would definitely benefit from that sort of cash back system. Definitely a site...

Women Freebies is another collection of free contests, giveaways, coupons and more. Its geared towards Canadian women, but really anyone can cash in on the contents of this site. It seems to be updated somewhat frequently; has perks for members (weekly contests / giveaways, etc.) and utilizes Facebook as an alternative source of additional giveaways not found on the site. The site is nicely laid out with drop down navigation bars to help further define your viewing interests. All in all its one of the more handy (and active) sites I've come across as of late.

Thank you for reading this blog and I wish you and yours the very best for the year to come with love, happiness and success. Happy 2015!

It must be hard for these contest sites to post original content, it seems they all share the same sources. Freebie Radar just blends into the mix without really offering anything new and exciting to viewers who are hardcore freebie go-getters. The site offers freebies, free samples, coupons, hot deals and sweepstakes categories along with a monthly giveaway draw to subscribers for a $25 Amazon gift card. The content is also not entirely exclusive to Canada, some offers are for USA only and its not frequently updated.

I Googled "Contests Canada" and came across Contestgirl . Figured it wouldn't hurt to check it out. It seems to be primarily a sweepstakes style directory with daily, weekly and monthly contests ranging from getaways to food to pretty much everything in between. I'm not much of a vacation destination go-er but I did find myself checking out a few of the contests and signing up. There's pages and pages of contests to browse through, mostly for US and Canada (it even lets you know the required age, province, and expiry dates), so if you're like me and need a one-stop directory, this is probably one of the better ones I've seen as of late.
