I was so very excited to give this a try. i have been searching for a night cream for months and I hoped this would be it. Sadly my skin broke out but I tried it for another 4 days and stopping the serum but alas I had to stop completely. I did find it a bit heavy and in the morning my face felt greasy and weighed down. it might just be that my skin was reacting to it. -

I have always loved the magic eraser. I have used it for everything from scuffed walls to scuffed shoes but I didn't always need a whole eraser. I was so excited when I saw the new package at the store and discovered it had multiple sizes that I could choose from. I picked a box up and raced home to try them out. Once I decided the size i simply pulled it to detach and away I went. It still has the same great effectiveness but now I don't feel like I am wasting anything. -

I received the Arm & Hammer Spinbrush Truly Radiant Toothbrush to try from Chick Advisor. I have never been fond of electric toothbrushes. I have always found them to be too powerful, vibrate too much and as a result I don't brush as much or as long as I should. I was a bit apprehensive but I wanted to give this a try and I am so glad I did.
First and foremost, the vibration, it was wonderful. It didn't make my entire head vibrate and I was able to use it on my gums and tongue with ease. The specialty whitening bristles and cup really contour to your teeth and clean them entirely. There is no residue after you brush and each and every tooth feels smooth and looks bright and shiny. The package claims the brush remove 100% more plaque and I have to say that I agree.
I love that this brush comes with the batteries already in the unit so you can remove it from the package and use it right away.
The ease of use was a big factor for me and the Spinbrush passed with flying colors. Put toothpaste on the brush, place in your mouth and turn it on. Glide the brush slowly across your teeth. It was that simple.
I have already noticed that my smile is brighter and this after just 8 days. I cannot wait to see what they will look now that I started using the new Arm & Hammer Truly Radiant Whitening & Enamel Strengthening toothpaste.
I have already purchased additional heads for myself as well as a Spinbrush and heads for my son.
I have parted ways with my manual toothbrush, things were just not working out between us. I had a feeling it new I was seeing someone else.

OxiClean Max Force White Revive Laundry Stain Remover & Booster

I have to admit I thought my whites were already pretty darn white and I was pretty happy with the rest of my wash as well. OxiClean Max Force burst my bubble real fast. As a comparison I had set aside some towels I had washed the previous week (white hand towels) and I started up a load and added my OxiClean.
What a stark difference! The same held true for the socks and well pretty much everything. What I thought was white and bright was more grayish and my colors never looked so good. Did I mention the smell? It is wonderful not overpowering but just enough to say hello don't I smell nice, and yes it does. Lastly it's stain fighting ability. The dress at the bottom had a rather nasty mustard stain on it and although I pre-treated in on the previous load (non OxiClean Max Force) the stain remained. I decided give it another wash with the OxiClean Max Force and hoped for the best. The stain was completely gone and the dress is brighter and more vibrant than it has been in years. I am now an OxiClean Max Force girl. I will not do a wash without my OxiClean Max Forcei.
The towel on the left was what I thought was clean and white and the one on the right is after a wash in OxiClean Max Force. Colors are brighter and whites are whiter. Give your wash a kick start and add some OxiClean Max Force to your next wash you won't be sorry.

I am in love with these vitamins. It is actually a battle not to gobble up more than 2 each day they taste that amazing. I have tried so many gummy vitamins in the past 6 months and to be honest they were foul tasting. I even resorted to children's gummies but the still tasted nasty. I didn't have much hope for these but I was willing to give them a chew. They are that good that the entire family is now eating them! I have already purchased a second bottle to ensure that we don't run out. -

I just loved this product. I have been searching for months for a stain that actually worked and did not dry out my lips. I picked this up in Shoppers and it was a bit expensive but have since found it at RCSS for 3 dollars less making it a great buy. I put the stain on first let it dry for 2 minutes and then apply the sealer/wax and voila I am good for hours. When you feel you lips getting a bit tacky you just re-apply the sealer and you are good to go. It lasted through all of my lips rubbing, tea, drinks and left nothing on my cup EVER. It is there to stay. It says to remove with an oil based makeup remover but I have used both and find it comes off easily enough. This is now my favourite lip gloss/stain. It looks like a gloss but stays like a stain. I put it on in the morning just to feel pretty all day long even when I have to place to go. -

It has been a long time since I came across a product that made me say "Wow" but believe me OxiClean 4X Concentrated Extreme Power Crystals Dishwasher Detergent is WOW worthy.
I was skeptical at first only because I have been there and done that with dishwasher detergent. I get all excited that maybe this time I won't have to pre-rinse my dishes or worse wash them after they come out of the dishwasher because there is caked on food.
I liked that it came in a bottle instead of a table. The directions said to not fill the cup up all the way for a regular load.
I started with a basic load just to see how it went. I poured some crystals into the cup and let it run. So far so good, next came the load where the dishes had sat in the dishwasher overnight. Again everything was sparkling clean even the utensils.
Ok I was impressed but I still had not given it my "been in the dishwasher for 3 days plates the pots and pans, yucky utensils and all the glassware" until now.
When I opened the dishwasher I was shocked and so very pleased. I inspected each item looking for the baked on food, the not so clean utensil and the much dreaded frying pan and I found nothing.
Oxi Clean really is 4X extreme and did I mention it smells great to. This is my new best friend in the kitchen and
Put some WOW back in your life by putting some OxiClean 4X Concentrated Extreme Power Crystals Dishwasher Detergent in your dishwasher.

I recently purchased the Glade Wax melts and was fortunate enough to have a buy one get one free coupon so I picked up two. I am totally in love with this new product from Glade.
The melter plugs in and heats the melt cubes liquefying them but does not get so hot that it is a danger to pets. I liked that it has a switch to turn it on and off so you don't have to unplug it each time. Once it cools the wax hardens again ready for next time.
The box says it comes in 5 unique fragrances Apple Cinnamon, Pure Vanilla Joy, Vanilla Passionfruit, Wild Raspberry and Fresh Berries. I did find two additional fragrances Frosted Berry and Frosted Pine but I have only been able to find the Vanilla and Fresh Berry originals.
The frosted appear to be for the holiday season.
I picked up the Frosted Berry and the Fresh Berries, I smelled the Pine one but didn't like it at all and I am not a big fan of Vanilla.
After about 20 minutes the main floor of the house was filled with a beautiful berry fragrance. My son came from the basement and instantly commented on the great smell.
He then took the 2nd one I purchased to use in the basement.
What I really liked was the length of time the scent remains. You could still smell the fragrance an hour after the warmer was turned off and the closer you get to the warmer the stronger the aroma.
I love this product and highly recommend it for ease of use and longevity of aroma.

Orville Redenbacher Ultimate Butter Microwave Popcorn
It`s Orville Redenbacher`s so that is one point in its favour at the get go. I popped one in a 1200 watt microwave for 2:30 and I did have some burned so it takes a few tries to get the timing right. In the end 2:15 seconds on my 1200 watts was... +
It`s Orville Redenbacher`s so that is one point in its favour at the get go. I popped one in a 1200 watt microwave for 2:30 and I did have some burned so it takes a few tries to get the timing right. In the end 2:15 seconds on my 1200 watts was the magic number.
The next challenge was opening the "bowl" it takes a bit of practice to get the top off in one shot (2 bags for me) but it really is quite easy. It is very very hot just like the warning on the bag tell you so READ THE BAG. Once you master the bowl you will enjoy the same wonderful flavour we know and love. The only downside is that we get less popcorn than before. So you must decide if the additional cost is worth it. I have found that this item is usually on sale at one or more stores which is always nice. I had a friend tell me they have been cutting the sides of the bags for years and use the bag as a bowl.
Personally I like to add parmesaen and cheddar cheese to mine and eat it with a spoon. If I want a fast no muss no fuss bag of fresh popcorn then this is the way to go. I always have a box on hand just for my snack attacks and no clean up.

I was out last week when I saw these in the store. They are limited edition and being a huge cereal fan I had to give them a try. They are supposed to be brown sugar and cinnamon flavour but sadly all I can taste is chemical induced cinnamon taste that is so overpowering you want to gag, at least I did. If that was not bad enough it has an even worse after-taste that lingers.
It does stay crunchy in milk but the milk gets the same flavour and in the end I had to flush the rest down the toilet because I could not even finish the bowl. They need to go back to the kitchen with this one. The quality of the cereal was great as it usually is with Kellogg's but the taste just fell through.
The shape was fun though. 1 cup is 120 calories 25 g carbs (3 fibre 10 sugar).
