I was more than excited to be picked to review the Crest 3D White Whitestrips 2-hour Express and waited in anticipation for my package to arrive! Yesterday the day had finally come and a rather hairy (facial) creepy possible drunk delivery man knocked (if you would call falling into my door knocking) on my door and delivered my review package! Without a pen and me weary of him I shut my door grabbed a pen ran back and signed for my package.
I was quite busy yesterday and by the time it was delivered I had only 1.5 hours before picking up my children from school so that wasn't the best time to test it out! Of course after school became dinner and then dessert along with baths and bedtime stories. Before I knew it it was 11:00pm and I was beat. I decided I would wait until today to put them to the test!
After dropping of my children at school I came home to my comfy office where I work from home and popped on the strips! 2 hours on while working easy peasy. There were a few times during the 2 hours I was surprised with a little ZING! like if you bit on some aluminium foil but no irritation while wearing them.
My 2 hours was up and I was FREE to pull those suckers off! Now I am a smoker so my teeth before (I use Crest 3D white and ProHealth Toothpaste currently) were on the yellow side. When I peeled off the strips I could see a difference :D Now my teeth are not Hollywood white nor did I expect them to be but the improvement is amazing and I cannot wait to see what they will look like in the coming weeks now that they are whiter and continuing on with my Crest 3D toothpaste. As well in 3 months I will use the strips again and I am sure my teeth will only continue to get whiter!
There is a small downfall to the strips but not everyone will experience this of course as I have friends in the review who didn't. After taking the strips off (it's been about 3 hours off now) I am having slight-medium sensitivity! Especially while eating or drinking I get that ZING! every now and then but the pamphlet says it's normal for some to experience this and that it will go away and is not harmful so I am sure it is just temporary.
All in all these strips get 10 fingers up from me and I am sure once my better half sees my new pearly whites he will add another 10 fingers up!
I suggest anyone who wants a quick white fix on their teeth to head out and pick up a box once every 3 months for 2 hours beats the daily strips any day!

I am not a huge "flavored" water fan normally like my water as is but was totally open to trying it. What was the worst that could happen? I wouldnt like it! Well I absolutely LOVED this vitamin water. Not only did the Strawberry Lemonade, Berry and Apple-pear taste wonderful I have since tried other flavors and they are all delicious! I have found myself having more energy and all around feeling more up beat when I drink this water twice a day. It truly helps me out especially when I forget to take my vitamin in the morning or eat breakfast because I am rushed. Totally worth trying and now my fridge never has less than two bottles in it if it does its off to the store to stock back up! Thanks for the opportunity to try this product as I probably never would have otherwise and it is wonderful! -

Before I had my baby, I received and stocked up on several different kinds of lotions. But my baby's skin was sensitive and I couldn't use any of them (not even Burt's Bees!). Our pediatrician recommended that we get either this lotion or the aquaphor. I like this one so much better than the aquaphor, which is greasy and very similar to diaper rash ointment. (The aquaphor stuff can be used like diaper rash ointment, but I don't think its versatility merits getting your hands and your baby all greasy.) I love this lotion. I'm usually able to get it on sale and/or at the local grocery store, and it's so gentle and effective on our baby. She's been getting bad rug burns since she's been crawling, but I put this on her every night after her bath and before I put her to bed. Her burns look so much better (sometimes completely healed) by morning, and she doesn't even really act like they bother her. Also, our neighbor has a baby who has awful eczema, and she uses and loves this lotion too! So if you're looking for a shower gift or looking to stock up on baby lotion, I would highly recommend this. -

I am not a fan of the Cover Girl Shine Blast lip gloss. When I first opened the lip gloss it was very messy. The bottle that was covered by the lid had lip gloss all over it and when I put the stick back into the bottle some of the lip gloss was bubbling towards the opening. I was afraid that I was going to get it on my clothes or on the bathroom sink. Since this product comes in several different colors I was expecting to have some color on my lips but when I applied the lip gloss it just looked like I had a clear lip gloss on. It was also to thick which I did not like. The stick is suppose to hug the curves of your lips for easy application. I didn't find it any different than other lip gloss sticks I have used in the past. But some might like it or find a difference between it and other sticks. But this lip gloss comes in a pretty bottle. I am a fan of Cover Girl make up but I am not a fan of their Blast lip line.

I own all 5 products from Covergirls Simply Ageless Collection and I can honestly tell you I can not get by a day without it! The primer goes on smoothly and evenly giving me a great base to start with while moisturizing and does not clog my pores at all! The corrector is fabulous! It hides the dark circles under my eyes brightening them instantly and works very well at correcting the redness and discolouring I have. The concealer works awesome under my eyes and on imperfections in my skin. The foundation covers smoothly and evenly and adds a glow to my skin. It is easy to apply with either a sponge or a foundation brush. The sculpting Blush really does highlight my cheeckbones while giving me a radiant glow! These products I highly reccommend! Even Covergirl markets it to the older woman...I think it would truly benefit anyone! I give this a 5 star and a 2 thumbs up! My daily routine of applying my makeup would not be the same without it! I must have it! -

I was pleasantly surprised that the pain was comparable (or even slightly less than) waxing. The Philips epilator gently tugs out each hair, one by one, which sounds more painful than it is. If you hold your skin taught while grazing the epilator over the hairs, it leaves you hair-free with minimal discomfort. While waxing takes less time, I find it more painful because it grabs even the most minuscule hairs, rips away at your skin, and leaves you extremely irritated. The epilator grabs only the significant and visible hairs, leaving the baby hairs and skin intact and protected. After using the Philips machine, my legs have small red marks that look like welts, but it disappears in a short while. I'd recommend applying a soothing gel/lotion/astringent or cold pack if the pain persists, but I have never had this problem. For best results, use right after a shower while the pores are still flexible and relaxed, and do this right before bed so that when you wake up, the red marks have had a chance to subside. -

My boyfriend first introduced me to Insomnia when we first started dating. We go there EVERY Saturday for breakfast. Hands down this place has the freshest, tastiest and healthy food I have ever had. Their breakfast "potatoes" come smothered in their own bbq like sauce and I am telling you once you have tried these potatoes they will have you coming back for more every time! The staff there is upbeat and friendly. They build a bond with their clients wether you are new or a regular. They have cozy seating in the back in couches and chairs for a softer comfier dining experience. They open at 10 am for breakfast and if you are not a morning person that is okay because they serve it all day long.
If you are looking for some relaxed night life they also are an open lounge/bar at night with awesome music and a comfy seated atmosphere where you can just kick back after a long work week with some close friends and not be bombarded by loud club music and people bumping into you every step.
