Dirt, Grime, and Soap Scum? No more bleach! Only Lysol Power & Free in this home!!

I have always been a huge Bleach Fanatic! With the help of BzzAgent and Lysol Power & Free Multi-Surface Cleaner and Wipes I will no longer be using Bleach unless its in my dingy white clothes! I received a great Campaign from BzzAgent. They sent me the Lysol Power & Free Multi-Surface Cleaner and Wipes.

Inside my Kit I received:  

  • Lysol Power & Free Multi-Surface Cleaner
  • Lysol Power & Free Wipes
  • Plenty of Coupons to share with Family and Friends








I couldn't wait to put these products to the test for the tough jobs! What tougher job is there than the bathroom?! I usually clean my restroom especially my toilet seat, bathtub, and sink frequently! However this week I decided to let it go to see how bad it could get and let the Lysol Prove itself. I can tell you that you will be amazed with the results! First let me tell you this when using bleach in my bathroom I usually come out with watery eyes and huffing and buffing. My bathroom is really small and has no ventilation  (windows). With that being said I also have to drag out the gloves because of the harsh chemicals of the bleach, and move all my bathroom rugs  to keep the splattering from turning the color of my rugs! I no longer have to do this. I keep the Lysol Power & Free Wipes handy in the bathroom under the sink. Let me show you the power of this product! The hydrogen peroxide in it really breaks down the dirt and gets out the rough, tough stains!


This is the before on the left hand side of my bathtub and toilet and the after on the right hand side! What a difference right?! I couldn't believe I was able to finish this all in a matter of minutes! It really has cut my cleaning time in 1/2 and not only that I don't have the extra hassle of moving rugs and worrying about bleach stains! When I came out today  no watery eyes and no huffing and puffing! I was so amazed! I would recommend this to everyone because if it can get off a weeks worth of dirt, grime, and just nastiness then it will be great for everyday use too!

Ahhhhhhh!!! Not my Kitchen Counter!!

How many of you have white kitchen counters in your home? Well I am one of them. It's the toughest thing to keep clean. I have always been a bleach fanatic in order to keep them clean. I have always hated using bleach though because it is so hard on my hands, and I have to use gloves! Nobody wants the hassle of putting on and removing gloves when cleaning. Another thing I often worried about it using it where I prepare my food for my meals. I often worried about getting the residue off well enough so it wouldn't contaminate our food. My son has always complained about the strong smell of bleach when I clean, however I found a new product that I can use and nobody complains! I don't have to wear the gloves anymore. Another great benefit is I can use a hand towel and I won't have it spotted up with bleach stains! I bet you all are wondering what is she using? Well thanks to BzzAgent I received a wonderful new product called Lysol Power & Free Multi-Surface Cleaner.
Let me tell you some of the wonderful benefits of using this product. It has Hydrogen Peroxide inside that creates a bubbly reaction when sprayed onto surfaces to get down and deep to clean those hard stubborn stains! One of the hardest stains I have found to remove from my white kitchen counters are COFFEE STAIN! Either someone will overfill the coffee cup, and it will get spilled a little, or they will lay their spoon down on the counter and it will stain it. This is one of the hardest stains to remove! It's no job for the Lysol Power & Free Spray though! We all love the fact I can clean and the harsh fumes are not present. Plus we know its killing 99% of the germs. We all know how important that can be in our kitchen where we prepare our meals and its not leaving behind the residue that the bleach leaves! Another great place to use this product is the bathroom. I always used Clorox Clean up to wipe the toilet seat. Not anymore I have been using the wipes that BzzAgent sent and they are wonderful! I can keep these handy under my bathroom sink for a quick cleanup if someone has aimed and missed, or if someone has made a mess on the seat! This comes in handy esp if we have company I can act as if I'm using the restroom wipe the toilet seat off and flush the wipe! No one ever knows! How great is that?! If you have not tried this product I suggest you go out and get some today and try it compared to using the harsh bleach you and your children will be so thrilled with the experience. I have already put mine to use on that kitchen counter and hope you all do too!! Happy Cleaning Everyone :)

Oh Yuck Mouth!! Stain build up? You may want to read this!!

We all know how hard stains can be on your teeth especially if you are a coffee drinker, or a smoker. Question is what is the best way to fight these stains in between your annual visits to the dentist? I actually have a answer for you today!! You can start off by purchasing the Arm & Hammer Advanced White Extreme Whitening Toothpaste. For those of you that have not heard of it before I must say it does what it claims. It protects against stains, whitens, and has tarter control. I was able to try this toothpaste compliments of Smiley360 as a Mission that they sent me. Inside my box they sent me a Smiley360 card and 3 sample tubes of the Arm & Hammer Advanced White Extreme Whitening Toothpaste.
Upon receiving my toothpaste I was eager to try it to see if it measured up like everyone said it did. I can tell you this when I used it for the first time it has a horrible taste! However I was determined to get past the taste to see if it would help the stains on my teeth. I have been using this for approx. 2 weeks now and I can say I noticed quite a bit of difference. I am a smoker and have been for years. This has lifted some of the stains that was starting to collect on my teeth. I have a noticeably brighter smile now thanks to Smiley360. I can say this though you probably will not like the taste of it. If you can get past that though the benefits are absolutely wonderful!!

Lets Go Krogering You Can Always Count On Us :)

How many of you are currently already shoppers at Kroger? For the ones that already shop their then I am sure you already know about the Kroger Plus Shoppers Card. If not Kroger has a shoppers card that you can currently get for no charge by going to the service desk, or asking  your the person in the check out lane. First let me explain the benefits of the Kroger Plus Card. You can earn rewards just for shopping at Kroger. They will have special deals throughout the store that will entitle you to save $$$. All you have to do is shop normally and then hand them your Kroger Card to scan. Below is a picture of what your Kroger Card will look like:



Now if you go online to https://customer.kroger.com/Login.aspx and register your shoppers card you can really enjoy great benefits. They have added what is now called the Free Friday Downloads!! Thanks to BzzAgent I was made aware that Kroger is offering the Free Friday Downloads. Let me tell you this is awesome! You log into your Kroger account every Friday for the opportunity to download a Free Product to your Kroger Plus Shopping Card. Let me give you a example. This Friday 7/25/2013 they offered a Free Digital Coupon for Colgate Toothpaste. The size was 4.6 oz. Now all I had to do was log in to my account, download the digital free coupon to my Kroger Card, Go shopping and get my free item! How great is that?! I scored a totally free product that my family currently already uses!! This reward is just wonderful because this will help those who really need it. Items are expensive in todays world and things are always on the rise with prices. This is a great way for Kroger shoppers to make the most out of their shopping experience. Also you can earn  Fuel Points and get discounts on purchasing Fuel at Kroger :) Who wouldn't appreciate that?! Especially as high as Gas is! Now another great perk is you can create and save shopping list and also browse weekly ads straight from home. That away you can find what is already on sale and download or get your coupons accordingly! It's always important to have a plan when shopping! Esp if you are a bargain hunter like me :)

Now let me tell you about my shopping experience. After I downloaded my coupon I headed out to Kroger to grab some items and of course my free toothpaste! I have always been a shopper at Kroger and let me explain why. At our local Kroger we have the friendliest people ever. They go above and beyond to help you if you need help. Today I actually needed help as I couldn't find the Colgate. A lady actually told me that they had it in the back and was getting ready to stock the shelf. She was nice enough to go all the way in the back and get me the Colgate so I could continue my shopping. Now that is what I call GREAT QUALITY CUSTOMER SERVICE!! This is the reason why I am a customer here at Kroger. I hope you all take full advantage of all the great benefits Kroger has to offer you. If you have any questions feel free to comment and I would be more  than glad to help you out anyway I can :)

Freebie Obsession :)

I recently have found a new love and a very addicting habit lol!! I am a Freebie Lover :) That's right! I admit I have a problem haha! Seriously though I never realized you can actually receive some great things threw the mail. I just like other users have a facebook account and I ran across a few people that donate their time to finding freebies and posting them on their wall for us to gain access to. There are a few that I absolutely love. There is Love For Freebies, Vonbeau, and Freebie Ninja. There are several more but these are my  top choices. Now let me explain to you why. If you get on their page these people go above and beyond to help you score freebies, and even enter giveaways but that is not the best part about them. They all are so very friendly that they make you feel like you have been best friends for years. Even some of their current subscribers are wonderful people. So if you have a facebook account and are interested in freebies and giveaways these people are wonderful! Below I have listed a picture of what I received  yesterday in the mail, however some days are better than others :) Yesterday was my good day :) 

Whos got Swag? I got swag at swaggable.com :)

I received another great product from Swaggable.com to review today.....How many of you have heard of the Crystal Towelettes? These are unscented towelettes that are in the form of wipes, but they are deodorant! I have always been a firm believer in my current deodorant because its never let me down. I actually use Degree for women and its the only thing I have found that keeps me feeling and smelling fresh. So when I received this I can't wait to put it to the ultimate test....As soon as I test it....I'll be sure to let you guys/gals know exactly if this towelette does what other leading brands do :)


Hot Hot days are here to stay!

We all know with summer being here and it being so hot outside its always a good idea to stay hydrated. Also you need to make sure you keep sunscreen handy. Today I was very lucky and received a product  from Swaggable.com. They actually sent me a product to review and I am glad to say it was from Goddess Garden Organics. They have a sunscreen called Sunny Body that is a SPF 30. It states it is waterproof which always important. Free of chemicals and made with 92% organic ingredients. Also it contains no GMO. So how important to you that your children and yourself  are safe and chemical free? I will be updating once I am able to use my product.


I also would like to add those of you interested in trying free products to test out you can go to www.swaggable.com and sign up today, or you can check them out on facebook :)

How many of you love ice cream? I know almost everyone does! How many of you have been in the position of  getting ready to eat your favorite ice cream or sundae and all of a sudden Bam!


Yeah we all know that look. That is the look of sensitive teeth! How many of you are like me and suffer from sensitive teeth? A few years back I had some fillings put in and ever since then I have had hot/cold sensitivity to different foods, and drinks. I know some of you probably suffer from the same thing. Well how do you all deal with it? I got a great way that I hope you will consider trying!! A few weeks ago I received a Mission for Smiley360 and was told to use this product for 2 weeks before I gave my honest review on the product. Let me show you what  a great Mission Smiley360 sent me! :)


They sent me the Arm & Hammer Sensitive Toothpaste! Upon opening the box my first reaction was  yeah okay two weeks using this and as soon as I bite down on something cold/hot its going to start right back...I did notice when I opened my box though it said from the Makers of Orajel. That name was familiar because if you have ever had a child that is teething or a toothache yourself you know what Orajel is. So then that kind of eased my mind so I did exactly what they instructed me to do. I used the Arm & Hammer Sensitive Toothpaste for two weeks. Now let me explain upon the first use I didn't care for the taste, however I have noticed most of the whitening type toothpaste have a light salty taste to it....This did as well. I quickly learned to get over the taste. Upon brushing the very 1st time I noticed something....My mouth was a little tingly and numb. I was like wow thats remarkable but how long will that last? So everyday 3 times a day I brushed with this and let me tell you...If you suffer from the same problem as I did this will be a life saver for you. I would suggest this to anybody! Let me tell you why. After two weeks I noticed a huge difference. For the 1st time in a long time I am able to bite into a ice cream without making that dreaded face the girl above made lol!! I am able to eat ice (which I wouldn't recommend) But I use to love eating ice chips as well. I am able to sit down and enjoy a hot  full meal without having to get up and go to the bathroom or to stop eating. If you haven't tried this then you need to!!  If you want the chance to try this without having to purchase a whole tube I would suggest getting a free sample. You can do so by visiting this page and requesting yours today! http://freeahsensitive.com Please give them at least 4-6 weeks to receive your sample by mail :) Also if your interested in becoming a Smiley360 memeber go to www.smiley360.com and register today or if you have any questions feel free to leave me a comment and I will do my best to answer them for you :)

Smiley360

I received a package compliments of Smiley360 the other day. I couldn't wait to get my package inside and open it. Once I got it inside and opened it I realized it was the AZO Mission! For those of you who don't know what AZO is....its a medication to help relieve the pain of Urinary Tract Infections. I found out a lot about AZO over the past few days. First and far most do not let it make you think that it will  get rid of a UTI because it will not. However, it is a great product to help relieve the pain associated with the UTI. It helps reduce the urgency of having to urinate, and also helps with burning and pain.


 Inside my box I had a 24 count box of AZO Maximum Strength Urinary Pain Relief. Also I had 5 samples to give away to friends or family. Inside those 5 samples there was 2 pills in each one with a coupon of $1.00 off any AZO product. Also I received a beautiful Blinged out Water Bottle that says AZO GIRL on it :) How cute is that?! So at first after opening my wonderful box my first reaction was hmmm how do I want to share my samples? Last time I shared my samples with friends and my family. This time I wanted to switch it up a little. So I decided since I am a Fan of Love For Freebies on facebook what  better way than to be like Jennifer and have a giveaway. She inspires me so much because she is constantly doing so much for others on her page!! So I listed the AZO product samples on my page with a description of what they are and how they are used. I also let everyone on there that anyone who suffered from UTI I would love to send them a free sample if they would send me their mailing info. I had one response on my page which was a  lady that is a mutual friend of Love For Freebies on Facebook. Of course I told her I would contact her to get her mailing info and I would be sending her sample out to her :) Then I decided since I wasn't having enough people that seemed interested on my page to take  it to the Love For Freebies page....Jennifer is always cool about letting people post on her page :) So I posted the comment on her page as well stating anyone who was interested that I would be sending them a free  sample after they left a comment. Needless to say I have sent out all my AZO samples and I really hope that I can help someone else or at least they get the chance to try this wonderful product!   If you are interested in receiving great products for your honest review...Then go to www.smiley360.com and sign up today!

Compliments of Swaggable :)






Today I received my Runa Cinnamon-Lemongrass Tea!! I'm getting ready to write my review right now....I will say this I was actually kind of surprised because I usually don't like flavored tea...I usually drink Lipton (tea bags) with sugar. But this was a pleasant experience for me! It wasn't bad at all. I tried it hot and I can say I wasn't a huge fan, but after it cooled it was quite good. I would rather drink this cold rather than hot! I'm not a big fan of hot tea either. As far as buying the product I probably wouldn't just because its not something I would drink a lot of....However I would consider purchasing the product for a change once in a while. Thanks for the coupon too  That always helps when purchasing!!

Thank you Influenster!!







I received the ‪#‎colgatetotalMW‬ the other day from being a member of ‪#‎Influenster‬!! I must say I love this mouth wash! It has a great flavor and hardly even a burning sensation like most mouthwashes. However I will say if you have chapped lips it does stink a little  This mouth wash was wonderful to use and the best part my son loves it too! He can finally hold the mouthwash in his mouth for the amount of time hes suppose to. Usually he would spit it out before the time was up!! So thank you Colgate I found a new Mouthwash for our family If Your not a member then you should sign up or ask me and I will send u a invite at www.influenster.com

City Living vs Country Living....

How many times do we hear people say they wish they lived out in the peaceful country where they could see  the wildlife, and enjoy the peace and quiet?! Well that all maybe true, but sometimes when you get into the smaller towns you run into a lot of hardships too. One thing I can think of right off the top of my head is in the town I currently live in the population is roughly 900 people. I know kind of like Mayberry huh?! Lol!! Well here are the draw backs, you have to travel to the nearest city to do your major shopping. Stores are very limited in small towns and the products you may be looking for may not be sold there. The other great thing about major cities are public transportation. In the larger cities you have the opportunity to save money by taking the local bus back and fourth to travel back and fourth to work, or to school. With the high gas prices you are sure to save quite a bit. Also another great quality is to keep youth as well as yourself occupied with different activities to do. In the larger cities you have the chance to see museums, possibly attend amusement parks, etc things you do not have the advantage of when living in the country. So before making a choice about which one is more appealing to you....Take time to out weigh the pros and cons.


Your most recent dinning experience, Negative/Positive?

We are always looking for a good deal when dining out. Well the other night we were looking for something that wasn't to expensive, yet was close to where we live. We finally decided on Hometown Pizza. They are locally owned chain here in our little small town. Before ordering I visited their website at www.hometownpizza.com to see what all they had on their menu. Luckily for us they had a coupon where you could get $4.00 off a $20.00 or  more order. So that was a plus for sure. We have ate inside this facility before and you can't beat their customer service. One great quality of a good food chain is great customer service. Nobody wants to go in and be ignored. You want someone who is attentive and who will go above and beyond to make your dining experience a pleasant one. This is exactly what hometown will do for you, or at least ours did. They will seat you as soon as you walk in the door, but will ask you if you have a seating preference. Since they have 3 levels they will ask which you prefer or if you prefer sitting next to the window.  They also if you have children they will ask you if you would like a coloring page with crayons to keep them occupied while waiting for your food to be prepared. They always make a wonderful effort to get your appetizers out 1st if you order  any and will keep your drinks on full. By the time your finished with your appetizers they will have your meal on the table in front of you and they do all  this with a smile on their face. So if you are looking for a great place to eat and to really get a good deal go to www.hometownpizza.com get your coupon and make your order. Also you can get your order to go if you would rather pick it up than dine in. You still get the friendly service when picking up your order! I love my local Hometown Pizza :)
