Oh Baby! Purex Ultra for babies :)



I received a bottle of Ultra Purex Baby detergeant to review from purexinsiders.  I have to say that even though I don't have a baby in the house, I do have a daughter with very sensitive skin so I was thrilled to be able to try this new product.  

I found that it did a terrific job in cleaning her clothes.  I even used a little to treat a stain spot and it came out perfectly.  I highly recommend this product to any new mom or someone who needs to be careful with skin sentivities.

Nutcracker Reception



My daughter dances in the Nutcracker performance every year.  There is always a reception for the dancers and their families.  This year I was so thrilled to share some of my new favorite things at the reception.

Everyone loved the Private Selection jalepeno stuffed olives.  I served them along with Private Selection sharp cheddar cheese on Private Selection branded cracker/wafers.  I also picked up my absolute favorite which is the Private Selection marinara sauce and served it with some warm breadsticks from Olive Garden LOL.  I know it sounds like I keep repeating myself BUT these are my new favorite things :)  I can't stop eating them LOL!

I've had so many people comment on how much they love them too :)  I enjoy the shocked look on their faces when I tell them Private Selection is a Kroger brand.

I'd like to thank BuzzAgent for hooking me up with the campaign.  It has made my holiday entertaining and participating in holiday parties/events so much easier.  I know exactly what to take.

Private Selection Review

I received a very nice buzzkit from BuzzAgent to review some of the Private Selection products from Krogers.  Included in the kit was a delightful aromatic med/dark coffee and a box of wafers and some coupons good for FREE pasta sauce, olives, and cheese.  (I used my pasta sauce coupon on Marinara YUM).

Anyway, put of these great items together and you've got yourself a nice little spread for a few guests.  We enjoyed the marinara with some breadsticks and I do believe this was everybody's favorite!  The coffee was so delicious and smelled so good.

I highly recommend that the next time you are in Krogers that you check out their line of Private Section products as I believe that you will be just as satisfied with the quality of the products as I was.  I know you will be pleasantly surprised to find that you can buy top notch quality products as a great price.

The opinions expressed here are entirely my own.  I did receive the trial kit as part of a buzz campaign courtesy of BuzzAgent.

Soft Scrub Review

I recently received a couple of bottles of the new Soft Scrub Total to review.  I was supposed to host a giveaway but unfortunately the bottles leaked and ruined the paper contents.  I am glad to say that I was able to salvage the product enough to give my bathroom a good scrubbing.  I used the All-Purpose with Bleach which did an amazing job on my tub.  I will say that I was a little disappointed in the way it left my toilet lid looking as it streaked it.  And, no matter how hard I scrubbed (even with a magic eraser) I could not get rid of the bleach streaks.  UGH!!  I will say that the product has a somewhat pleasant clean scent.

Have any of you tried this product yet?  What are your thoughts and experiences?

**I received this product to review from the Soft Scrub company.  These statements are my original opinions and I was not compensated in any way except for being provided with the test product.

I received a yummy box of Honey Bunches of Oats to review as part of the Purex Insiders Team.  As soon as I opened the box my teenage son ripped it from my hands and ran off to find a bowl & spoon LOL.  Before I knew it I had three kiddos sitting at the table devouring the entire box.  They said it was their absolute favorite cereal...unfortunately, I myself did NOT get a chance to taste it.  But, that's ok!

1.  10 grams of Whole Grain per serving.  Nutritionists recommend eating 3 or more servings of whole grain foods per day 9about 16g whole grain per serving or at least 48g per day)
2.  6 grams of sugar
* compare this to Honey Nut Cheerios at 9 grams
3.  Honey Bunches of Oats Honey Roasted provides 9 essential vitamins & minerals
4.  Honey Bunches of Oats brings together 4 nutritious grains into crispy flakes and even more crunchy granola bunches.
5.  Heart Healthy ♥

Purex & Jockey CONTEST



I recently received a test kit from Purex insiders to try Purex Crystals and a Jockey sports bra.
I was absolutely thrilled with both products. The sports bra provided comfort and support while wicking away moisture. Plus it has a convenient key pocket. Purex Crystals provided a terrific way to soften and freshen my new sports bra without the oils that most softeners contain which is known to damage moisture wicking clothing. These two products were a win win combination.

Now if you'd like a chance to win your own Purex/Jockey kit please comment below. A winner will be chosen on Friday, January 27th. Winner will have 24 hours to respond. Good Luck!
