I received Revlon Crazy Shine To Go Nail Buffer to test. I was very excited, since I really love having nice nails. I find that the nails really make your hands look beautiful.
i received the buffer, and gave it a try. I have to say, I did not see a difference. So, to make sure that I was I would give the proper review, I gave one to my mother to try. She has beautiful longer nails, and takes care of them.
She had the same opinion as me. She felt that it was no different or special then any other product. We wanted to love it, but it really fell flat.

Picture this. Social media marketing seminar for up and coming professionals. Small bar. Hottest day in Montreal. A/C is busted.
This is what happened to me last night. To prepare for this event, I used the Pantene Pro-V Aqua Light Conditioning Shake which I graciously received to test from Chick Advisors. After showering, I sprayed it in my hair, the blew dry it, and straightened it.
I was sure that by the time I would get into my car, my hair would just frizz right back up, after all, it was 32 degrees, and 40 degrees with the humidity. I was wrong! I looked in the mirror, and it was still straight and in place. I get to my event, and my hair stayed nice despite the extreme heat.
I was very impressed with the conditioning shake, and i will continue to use it while styling my hair!

Unlike my glowing review of the shampoo, I was very disappointing in the conditioner. I found it greasy and very hard to rinse from my hair. I feel like it took twice as long to rinse it out. As well, I found it did not hydrate my hair nicely, and I found it made my hair greasy.
I was expecting so much more from this product.

Creamy, very very creamy. Ok this is not a review for mayo, but those words just kept on repeating themselves again and again as I was washing myself with the beauty cream bar. Who knew that a "soap" could be so wonderful? It really cleanses well, but leaves your body soft, delicious... I even got hubs to try it, and he loves it too! I think we will be saying goodbye to our old soaps and opt to use Dove Original Beauty Cream Bar!

Now I am normally horribly sensitive to smells. However, this car freshener is amazing, as it lets you control the "amount" of fragrance that comes into the car! I attached it to my vent (a processes that took only a few seconds) and then chose the degree of smell that I wanted (minimal) - et voila! It was perfect! My car smalls fresh and clean! I love the innovative fragrance, sky & linen makes such an amazing combo of freshness!

With my Hello Kitty flashing toothbrush for kids safely tucked away, I eagerly opened the Oral B Pulsonic toothbrush. I could not believe how thin and light it was! The design was sleek, clean and modern.
The battery was already charged (bonus!!) and I could not wait to try it out. Now, in the past, I really thought that all toothbrushes were created the same. Well, the moment this toothbrush entered my mouth, my opinion changed.
You know that clean feeling you get from the dentist? I immediately felt it! The pulses were on the entire brush, not just at the head! Because of this, i really felt like my entire toot was getting cleaned. The pulses felt great also against my gums.
The toothbrush has 2 settings, with the sensitive one being great for people who have sensitive teeth. I also like that it tells you when 30 second are up, so it helps guide you in how long you should brush for.
My only complaint is that the brush gave me no warning when the battery died. I was brushing, and all of the sudden the battery died. Perhaps a flashing light or a beeping sound could warn me a few min before it dies.
All in all, I am so happy with this brush, and I plan to use it for many years, and enjoy an amazingly clean, fresh, 'straight-from-the-dentist' mouth!

Let me start by saying that I have never had success with tooth whitening strips. In the past, I tried one, and it burned my gums so much that I had to remove it within the first few minutes.
Now, when the Crest 3d White strips were up for review, I did some research, and I see that it is supposed to be pain free. That was 100% true. I had zero gum pains while wearing them.
Unfortunately, the positives seem to end there.
I wore them for the 2 hours. They were easy to put on, however, I kept on having the sensation that they slipped off, so I had to run to the mirror several times. I saw the strips 'fizzing' and creating a paste that went over my teeth.
I had high hopes.
2 hours later, I take the strips off, and was so disappointed to see little to no improvement. My teeth looked the same. I even ask my husband if he noticed anything, and unfortunately, it was "no".
I come in with high hopes, and was left with my reoccurring sentiment that at home whitening strips just don't work.

So you would think: toilet paper is toilet paper right? Well, I would have to disagree.
I was super excited to have been chosen to try this new tissue - I use Cottonelle on a regular base. There are many differences in the product, and I was pleasantly surprised! This tissue is a step up form its competition!
I found it really thick, really luxurious. It has nice grooves in it. I really found that because it was so thick, we were able to use less. That provides both economical and green benefits!
The quality was very high. The only downfall was that it might be too thick, making wiping your tush a bit difficult.
As a regular Cottonelle user, I would definitely consider making the swap, since I found that he rolls lasted much longer in my house!
My mom came over and tried the bathroom tissue, and she was so impressed that she said she would buy a bag for herself!

My 2 year old is a tank. Like a football player. He does not fit in many strollers.
When I was pregnant with #2, I started to panic. What will I do? How will I push both kids?
Well, thank goodness for the city Micro. It is actually bigger then the mini (which he did NOT fit into). It fold pretty nicely. It is as light as a double stroller could be. It pushes nicely.
The cons are that it is heavy (but they are all), the bar top attach the car seat is awkward (and expensive, as it is sold separate), and the stroller does not recline all the way down, so you can't put a young baby in it.
As well, you got to be sure that it fits in your trunk - it does not fit in all trunks.
All in all, we like the stroller. Especially since we got it for 199$ on moosejaw.com. SCORE!!!

Since getting pregnant a few years ago with my first son, I decided to eliminate a lot of the hash chemicals that I have used in my house. When I received the VIM cream lemon cleanser in the mail, I was a bit hesitant to use it, since I have been using Green Works in my house.
I decided to give it a try, and boy was I happy. Firstly, it has such a natural, fresh, lemon smell, which I loved.
Chasing after a 2 year old, I need to be armed with a means to clean the mess he gets himself into. I used the vim in the bathtub - it worked amazing at getting out the crayons. I used it on his shoes, which also rocked. In addition, I used it to clean a toy that was left outside, which worked like a dream.
thanks so much, and I look forward to many more opportunities to use this amazing cleaning product!!
