Nivea Invisible for Black & White
Loving this one! It goes on easily and feels very moisturizing! Best part is that it doesn't make those terrible white marks on my dark shirts! This is my new favorite right now!

The scent of this conditioner is like the others in the Aqua Light line - wonderful and not overpowering once your hair is dry.
I love that you store the bottle downward on the flat cap. You never have to wait for the conditioner to slowly make its way to the opening this way.
While it is not advertised specifically for color treated hair, the back of the bottle says it is gentle enough for those like me who do color treat and/or perm. That was a big bonus for me!
I have very fine shoulder length hair. This conditioner really moisturized my hair without weighing it down. Once styled, I had lots of volume and my hair did not feel greasy by the day's end. I was impressed and would recommend it to friends.

I love the aesthetics of the shampoo bottle - the clearness of the bottle reminds you that it is a weightless formula with no dyes, parabans or silicone.
And I love that the bottle can stand on either end - so that when you get down to the last of the shampoo you can flip it over and store it on its top. No waiting for that last little bit of shampoo to run all the way down!
The scent is great. Once my hair was dry, I could no longer detect it in my hair so it was not overpowering that way.
This shampoo lathers up very nice and made my hair feel very clean. After my hair was styled, I had lots of volume - ya!
Added bonus: while not specifically advertised for colored hair - the back of the bottle says that it is gentle enough for color treated hair!
I only wish I could recognize more of the ingredients! Pretty lengthy list of things I can't pronounce...
I would however recommend this shampoo to others and I would buy this again!

This product is exactly what they promised - a very very light conditioning shake that will not weigh your hair down.
I love the scent of the Aqua Light line and the Conditioning Shake is no different. The scent fades once your hair is dry so you don't need to worry about it clashing with your shampoo/conditioner if you are not using the entire line.
I have very fine hair and this product did not weigh my hair down or make it greasy. Of all the hair smoothing products I use, this is definitely the lightest. I even used it heavy handed the second day and it still did not weigh my hair down. No frizz and no grease - great!
However, I heat style my hair every day and have very fine processed hair. I actually felt this product was too light for me. My hair felt a little on the dry side so while I had the volume, I missed the softness that I get when I use my regular product. For that one reason, I probably won't make the switch to this one.
I would still recommend this product though - to those who want a very light conditioning spray. It is what they promised!

The size of the GoodNites Bed Mats are very generous and provide fantastic coverage - much larger than the reusable washable bed mat we normally use.
I was surprised how strong the adhesive was to keep the bed mat in place. It even stuck on top of the fuzzy fleece sheets with no shifting.
They are good quality and we were able to use the one for quite a few nights in a row.
I love the ease of the disposable mat. When the child does have a night wetting, it doesn't get on the sheets as it lays on top of the sheets. This is in contrast to our washable bed mat that also protects our mattress but means we are stripping sheets and changing laundry in the middle of the night.
Although they are more expensive than UnderJams, I can see us buying these in the future for many situations including:
1. When night wettings are less frequent and our child only wants to wear underwear (in which case BedMats that last days will be cheaper than nightly UnderJams)
2. When we go to company's house for overnight and are concerned about leaking through an UnderJam (which occasionally does happen to our child).
3. For the very independent young child who is not fully night time potty trained but refuses to wear a diaper.
I was glad we received GoodNites® Bed Mats free to test as part of ChickAdvisor’s Product Review Club because it is a product we will use again. Thanks!

Oh Dove - the soap my Grandmother used, my Mother uses, and what I used on my babies.
So why did I stop using it myself? I guess I got blinged out by all the exciting body washes out there. So it was fun to get back to basics when I got this product free to try as part of ChickAdvisor's Product Review Club.
The scent is the classic-what-I-remember-as-a-girl Dove scent. Much stronger in the package that what it goes on as with water in the shower.
It lathers up nice with a shower pouf (surpise to me as I forgot that it isn't just body washes that can lather) and you feel clean after. I loved that you felt moisturized too - due to all the moisturizers right in the bar, your skin feels soft and moisturized versus tight and dry.
I would recommend this to a friend. I will even continue to use it! The list of ingredients compared to my body wash is that much shorter and the price is better.
Thanks ChickAdvisor for a trip down memory lane and reminding me that sometimes newer isn't always better.....

It did seem expensive for what is essentially just a long stretchy piece of material.
And it did seem overwhelming at first learning to tie the thing so that is was comfortable for both me and baby.
But when you get it right - WOW! It cradled my newborn and grew with him until he was 2 and would rather walk everywhere himself. I even gave my 5 year old a test ride in it and it held him comfortably for the both of us too (although there is no way I am packing a 5 year old around - lol!)
There are also a number of different ways to tie it and positions for the baby too. Very versatile!

I really liked the scent - it was not overpowering and lingering on the dishes.
I also really like that it addressed some of the environmental issues I am concerned about.
I liked that the bubbles lasted unlike some other environmentally friendly dish soaps I have used.
My downside though - (and it was a big one for me) - it really dried my hands out. So now I am back to my dish soap that the bubbles don't last anywhere near that long but at least my hands are okay.

Love Burts Bees products and that their ingredients are actually good for your skin. Especially when using something on your lips - I appreciate that there are no bad chemicals in it. Works fantastic and smells great too! It is more expensive than many others but I find I don't need to apply it as often as others either. -
Huggies Little Movers Slip-On Diaper Pants

These are difficult to pull up on chunky legs! They don't seem to cover the back end well - I am always seeing bum crack on my little guy. While I haven't had problems with leaking, I actually found these difficult to put on a squirmy baby (unlike the promise in the commercials) and will probably stick with normal diapers until we graduate to Pull-Ups. Also they are very very bulky compared to Pamper diapers! -
