Crest Pro-Health Advanced Rinse Purple

                      Looking for a good new product for your oral care routine?  

                                     Want a better dental checkup?

I say look no further than the trusted Crest Brand specifically the Crest Pro-Health Advanced Mouthwash!  I tried the Purple with Extra Deep Clean, pictured above.  I love the super clean feeling I get after use, I can start my day with confidence to smile and do my job greeting everyone at work each day!

                                         

The Crest Pro-Health mouthwash is alcohol free with fluoride, and has many benefits for your mouth!  The first time I try it what I notice is the lack of burning or stinging while swishing.  The fact that it is alcohol-free and doesn't burn to use ensures that you will swish for the recommended full one minute.  Directions for use are to vigorously swish between your teeth for one minute, after you have brushed  your teeth with toothpaste.  One minute - 2X a day - using Crest Pro-Health Advanced Mouthwash will freshen your breath, kills bad breath germs, cleans teeth and gums, helps prevent cavities, and even strengthens enamel!  Wow - all those benefits in just a couple of minutes a day!

     You can never take your healthy mouth for granted - make sure to take good care of yours!  

I love when I see the package in the mailbox from BzzAgent!  I was given a full-size bottle to sample and share through BzzAgent.  I'm giving my honest opinion here, 100%.

Join the RoC Retinol Resolution!  

RoC Retinol is 2x stronger than it's imitators!

I am always looking for ways to combat aging so I was very excited to receive a free sample of RoC Retinol Correxion Deep Wrinkle Night Cream through Crowdtap to sample and share!  I'm getting all my friends to join in the #RoCResolution and see if it works for them as well as it is working for me!  Then together we are  #WomenWhoRoC! 

So I love the way this Deep Wrinkle Night Cream feels on my skin, I see results and feel the softness to my skin when I apply to my clean skin before bed.  I still feel the softness in the morning, but what is it that makes RoC Retinol work?  I went to their website to find out!  First of all, it contains Retinol - what is Retinol?  Here is what I find on the RoC Retinol Resolution site:   "Retinol is a form of Vitamin A, or retinoid, that is delivered to the skin and plays a major role in the natural renewal process of our skin cells."  So that explains it!  And what makes RoC Retinol better?  Here is what they say: 

"WHAT MAKES RoC® RETINOL SPECIAL?

RoC® was the pioneer in bringing pure, stabilized retinol to market - and their scientists have conducted extensive research of the safety and efficacy of retinol formulas for 25 years, including more than 100 clinical studies on 5,000+ patients. A highly unstable molecule, retinol is difficult for formulators to work with because it starts to degrade rapidly on exposure to light or oxygen. The RoC® Brand's in retinol began with discovering a way to manufacture and package retinol formulas without exposing the ingredient to air or light at any point in the process. Today, 25 years after their original ground-breaking research on retinol and skin aging, RoC® scientists continue to pioneer anti-aging innovation in retinol skin care, optimizing efficacy, tolerance and aesthetics.

So RoC Brand has been doing this for 25 years!  Safe to say it's a trusted skincare brand!  And I'm happy to find a great night time skin care product!

AVEENO! A new product for your beauty and skin arsenal!

A quick little post about a really good product, new to me, that I would like to recommend!

Thanks to Crowdtap and Aveeno I was given a chance to sample and share about their moisturizing lotion - Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF30!

I was given three little sample tubes of this product to try, use, and share my opinion.  I form my own observations about this lotion and I'm not giving it a positive review because I received samples.  I'm giving this a positive review because I really like it!

My face feels very tight after washing and once I apply this lotion to my skin - I feel a release of the tightness right away.  The lotion itself feels satiny and light.  Once applied to my face my skin felt soft and moisturized without feeling heavy or greasy.  A great moisturizer with the added bonus of SPF30!  An important combination! I'm sure I will be purchasing this and adding it to my skin care routine.

AVEENO® POSITIVELY RADIANT® DAILY MOISTURIZER BROAD SPECTRUM SPF30!

Snuggle Bear Summer

Summer is quickly coming to an end, within the next two weeks, we will all be back in school.  This summer I am participating in the Summer with Snuggle Bear Mission.   We have been taking Snuggle Bear along for the ride!  I received our Snuggle Bear for free from Snuggle Bear Den, to enjoy for the summer, so he could accompany us during our summer fun!

You know Snuggle, the cute little bear who is the spokesperson (or spoke-bear in this case) for Snuggle products.  Snuggle is a line of laundry products, Snuggle Fabric Softener and Snuggle Dryer Sheets, are two of their most popular products.  They have also introduced Snuggle Scent Boosters to give your laundry a boost of lasting scent.  All their products come in a variety of scents, so you can pick what you like!

I've taken some pictures along the way during our Summer with Snuggle Mission, here are some of our adventures.

We treated Snuggle Bear as a member of the family!  Isn't he cute?

Snuggle Bear and I love our morning coffee!

We enjoyed some gardening!

We enjoyed a barbecue or two.....




       ...and listened to some good music!

 Had fun relaxing on the deck - reading and chilling!

We took some bike rides ...

     
                                 ... and played some catch!





I'd say all in all - Snuggle Bear and I had a great time this summer!

Thanks Snuggle for sharing your bear with us!

BzzAgent - Red Baron Brick Oven Pizza

Well, thanks to BzzAgent my family has found a new great frozen pizza.  I love it when I can find a nice quick dinner, for those busy nights, that everyone enjoys.  I have found it! The Red Baron Brick Oven Pepperoni Pizza fits the bill for my family! This is definitely one you should try!  You can pick from several great varieties - Pepperoni, Cheese Trio, Meat Trio, and Sausage Supreme.  Pick your favorite toppings and enjoy the new and tasty crust.

This is what is new and exciting about this pizza - a different, better crust.  It's not thin, it's not thick, it's bubbly and has a good flavor.  This crust is hard for me to explain - it's not thin, not thick, not crunchy, not chewy!  Haha - you just have to try it!  The rest of the pizza is delicious too - great bubbly cheese, tasty toppings, and a real flavorful, but not too spicy, sauce.

This is one to try!

I was given a free product from BzzAgent and Red Baron to review and share!  #GotItFree #LoveAtFirstBite #RedBaron

Carefree Acti-Fresh Review

Well, I was given a small package, 20 of them, of the new Carefree Acti-fresh body shape Pantiliners!  I have to say these were great!  They were comfortable, in fact, you really didn't remember they were there.  Now that is comfort!  They come in a cute super thin little pink pouch, easy to take along, tuck them in your purse, gym bag, or lunch box!  They are so 
thin you could put one in your back pocket and no one would notice. They also have staying power, they stick well and do not move!  These are very useful for leaks and light days, basically good for everyday! They have an amazing odor absorbing quality too!  There isn't anything not to like about the new Carefree Acti-fresh Pantiliner, you simply have to try them!                                                                  #FreshIsFierce

The Carefree website offers this:  

CAREFREE® ACTI-FRESH® Thin

CAREFREE® ACTI-FRESH® Thin liners are designed to deliver freshness, thanks to an 8-hour odor control system.

CAREFREE® ACTI-FRESH® Thin liners feel as soft and thin as a panty, so all you feel is confident

Cute little package! 

Super little liner!

I received this product complimentary to test and review from influenster and Carefree!

Quaker's New Steel Cut Oatmeal

Looking for something new for breakfast?  I have a new favorite to recommend!  Quaker has a new type of instant oatmeal out that is really tasty, hearty, and quick!  Steel-cut Oatmeal!  I was given a sample to try and share my opinion from BzzAgent and Quaker.  I sampled, and have subsequently purchased, the Brown Sugar & Cinnamon flavor.  You can also purchase the Steel-Cut Oats in Blueberries & Cranberries flavor.
What is Steel-Cut Oatmeal?  These oats are cut instead of rolled so you get a thicker whole-grain texture!  The package contains single-serving pouches and are ready in 3 minutes, just add water!
They are very satisfying, keep you from feeling hungry until lunchtime, and it's a nice warm way to start your day!  Add 2/3 cup of water to your oats, use a deep bowl to prevent bubbling over, and set the microwave to 3 minutes, 50% power, and voila you have a delightful breakfast!

Desange Paris California Blonde Collection Review

I was given the opportunity through influenster to try the Dessange Paris California Blonde Collection to sample and review!  I'm so glad I did, what a great experience.  In my VoxBox came a collection of three products, wow, how fun and exciting!  Who doesn't love trying new beauty products!  Below is a picture of my "unboxed" box!

The Dessange Paris California Collection is designed to nourish, moisturize, and protect color treated blonde hair. According to the information provided to me from influenster and Dessange "blonde is a fragile shade that can lose its luster, fade, and weaken with time."  Therefore, this collection targets the blonde specifically and addresses these issues, to condition your hair and make it shine!  It is also enriched with passion flower extract and gives you impeccable shine for a brilliant blonde color.  The collection is complete with Shampoo, Conditioner, Illuminating Elixir, and Brass Color Correcting Creme.  I was given all but the Illuminating Elixir to try.  

The shampoo has a thick and satiny feel and lathers well.  My hair was cleaned gently and felt soft and smooth.  Just a sweet hint of fragrance.  After shampooing I used the conditioner, which had a slightly stronger scent, but still light.  I left the conditioner on my hair, after rubbing it throughout, for a couple of minutes.  After rinsing my hair felt just great, so smooth and silky.  The information I was given states the conditioner "wraps hair with moisture from root to tip, smoothing and taming dry, unruly strands."  This is exactly what my hair felt like.  I was very impressed, love the soft, silky feel and the soft sweet scent.  

After using both of the products above, there was the Brass Color Correcting Creme to try.  Package directions indicate you should leave on hair for about 5 to 10 minutes to correct unwanted brassy color.  I twisted open the lid and was surprised to see the deep purple color!  After applying and massaging through my hair, I left it on for about 5 minutes.  My hair has never been so nourished!

The packaging directions say to use this as a weekly treatment, it contains linseed oil and blue pigments to neutralize brassiness and nourish your hair!  

I have been using this collection for about two weeks, my hair looks and feels so much healthier and stronger.  I have dried it, used the flat iron and it still feels soft!  I have also noticed it holds the style and shape better, and no fly-aways.  I'm definitely sold and will be using this collection!  I plan to purchase the Illuminating Elixir to use as a leave-in treatment  in between uses of the weekly Color Correcting Creme.  I understand this entire collection is used in salons and is available at Target!

Below are some photos I've taken of my hair (as best a person can)!

The photo above is what my hair looked like on most days before using the Dessange Paris California Blonde Collection.  The bottom half of my hair was very dry and didn't always hold it's shape.

Below are some shots of my hair after using this collection for about two weeks. You can see it appears healthier, shinier, and has much more body.. ...volume and shape.

 
 I also think my hair has a more natural tone!

So, to summarize my opinion on this collection, the Dessange Paris California Blonde Collection is a winner, a great quality product!  Giving you silky soft, nourished hair with a soft sweet scent!

And, as a reminder "I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes."

New Year - New Me?

I'm so anxious to get started on my New Year's Resolution!  I really have two goals!  One, to lose a few pounds, like the standard resolution.  I need to find the oomph to get started.  That's the battle for me, committing to it, and starting.  Two for me is organization!  My house has spawned various piles of papers, and stacks of documents!  Most need to be sorted, filed, and put away.  Probably the rest need to be shredded and tossed!
Which of my resolutions are more pressing?  Both, one helps the other.  When my house is clean and organized, I have a much happier, carefree disposition, and I'm more likely to feel free to take that walk, or go out and do something.  Which helps the lose some pounds idea.
I haven't found the best weight loss program for me, I've tried so many over the years.  I have seen results from all of them, just not "over the top, amazing" ones.  Any of the diets I've tried work, but there are so many, which one is right, which one is "easiest" to stick with, which one gives you the best results quick!?  This is what is holding me back so far in 2015!  Committing to one or the other!  I've tried the points system, but you need to have the support, which involves money.  I've tried the Low-Carb, which works, for a time, then you have to cheat, and it's over!  I've tried, just being good, eating salads, taking walks, that works, some...
So here I am...still waiting to start!
As for the organization...I've begun!  I've purchased some folders, files, and a few desk supplies to get me started.  I've moved all the papers and miscellaneous items to one location!  I have already shredded a basketful!  Woo Wee!  Getting somewhere!  Now I just need to decide,,what to do with those school papers?  What to do with all my receipts?  What about the pieces of mail, things I want to think about?  What about, what about, what about!

 Stacks to organize

 More stacks to organize

 New folders..YAY!

Empty File Cabinet!


What about all those lovely books...I want to read them!

Here is to a Happy 2015!  I will get started!
