I got lucky at CVS this week!  I bought 6 bottles of 2 in 1 Pantene shampoos, 2 Pantene mouse, 1 Pantene hair spray, and 2 bottles of Nivea lotion for $3.55 O.O.P.

I used 3 $2/1 pantene styler Q, and 2 $5/3 pantene products Q and 2 $5/2 Nivea products Q's
I also had some ECB which lowered my O.O.P. and ended up getting back $15 in ECB because CVS is offering $5 ECB when you buy any two Nivea and $10 off certain participating P&G products which includes the Pantene.  And best news yet is all of this counts towards beauty rewards which is $5 ECB when you spend $50 accumulated over time.  

There are some great deals to be had this week at CVS.  Go get 'em ladies!

I've been suffering from computer issues for a while now but I'm happy to say that has been remedied and you will be seeing more of me :)  Keep up with me here and you will start seeing my new favorite hobby and favorite store the Dollar General.  I'm telling you there are great deals to be had on practically everything under the sun at the local DG

Hasbro Game Night sponsored Houseparty

 I was so excited to be chosen to host a Hasbro game night from House Party.  I've lost the cord to my camera at the moment so pics will follow as soon as its located LOL.  But, I wanted to take a moment to brag about the wonderful games that were included in my party package:  Scattergories, Twister, Sorry, Yahtzee Classic, and Taboo Buzz'd.  I have to say that Taboo has always been my families favorite game and we absolutely love this new electronic version.  Of course, Twister is a favorite too because it brings back lots of memories from when the kids were younger.  My husband and I used to play Yahtzee when we were first married.... its been a long long time since we'd taken the time to play so what a treat it was to receive a new game.  I remember playing Sorry as a child myself and boy did I just love the fact that my special friend Nicole was able to play this game with everyone.  We haven't gotten around to Scattergories yet as the night was getting away from us.  We all decided that next time which will be SOON we will play that game first.  Tune in for pics :)

Purex Crystals Dryer Sheets

Try new Purex Crystals Dryer Sheets to freshen your laundry and do away with static cling.

These are terrific and make your laundry smell so great.

The fresh scent lingers for days and days and actually freshens your closets and drawers with that clean laundry smell :)

I was supposed to post about a giveaway that you could enter but unfortunately due to some computer issues I wasn't able to do so before the sweepstakes ended.  However, I do feel that this is a fabulous product that my readers will enjoy so I wanted to still take a minute to brag about it :)

The rules have changed .... when it comes to laundry!

**As a Purex Insider, I was given the opportunity to review the new Purex No Sort for Colors.  I received no further compensation and all opinions are 100% my own.  

My kids were home for the weekend from college.  

With them came lots of laundry and friends and of course the friends' laundry.

Perfect timing to try the new Purex no sort laundry detergent.

This new detergent is the latest laundry innovation from Purex brand designed to simplify your laundry routine.  Purex No Sort for Colors detergent features a breakthrough Anti-Color-Transfer Technology which traps loose dyes in the wash and reduces color bleeding accidents in your mixed color load leaving your clothes bright and clean.    **It is advised that you wash strongly colored fabrics or new pieces of clothing (especially jeans) separately at least 5 times before doing a mixed color load.  

I think this innovative new product is just GREAT for the typical college student who neither has the patience or the time to spend hours and hours doing laundry.  The four that tried it out this weekend at my house agree.  They loved the results so much that when they found out I had three coupons for a full size product they begged me to let them have them.  So.... I did!  I know that they will put them to good use.  

To celebrate the launch of the fabulous new product, Purex is sponsoring a sweepstakes where you could be the grand prize winner of $1,000 and a year's supply of the new game-changing detergent HERE.

Dial Deep Cleansing Hand Soap

 New Dial Deep Cleansing Hand Soap is the latest Dial brand hand soap bringing luxury to your hand washing experience.  These premium soaps feature vibrant scents, a gentle micro-scrubber formula that smooths and moisturizes the skin and a completely new design that adds personal style to your home.

As a Purex Insider, I received two bottles of this terrific new product in the scents of Yellow Raspberry & Black Sugar and the Coconut Lime Verbena in order to fascilitate this review. 

I placedthe Coconut Lime Verbena in my kitchen as I am constantly washing my hands when I cook.

and I put the Yello Raspberry & Black Sugar bottle in my main bathroom for guests and family to use.

I have to say that I love the way the pump controls the amount of product that is dispensed.  With just one squirt you get enough to wash your hands thoroughly without unnecessary waste.  The new formula moisturizes your skin while the micro-scrubbers help gently scrub dirt away.

I received 5 free product coupons to share and decided that I wanted to bless my friends and family with these so that they could enjoy the benefits of this fine product too.  Everyone was thrilled and several have since commented that they are so loving the way the soap has left their hands feeling more moisturized considering we've battled a long cold winter which has a terrible drying effect on hands.  

Be sure to check out the new Dial Deep Cleansing Hand Soap at a store near you!

**As a member of PurexInsiders, the Dial brand provided me with a sample of Dial Vitamin Boost Body Wash in exchange for a product review.  However, all opinions expressed here are my own.

NEW Dial Vitamin Boost Body Wash gives your skin a daily boost of vitamins.  The advanced formula, with a moisturizing vitamin complex, helps draw vitamins and moisture directly to your skin.  Leaves your skin feeling healthy, and soft.

I personally received this bottle of Dial Vitamin Boost Lotion Infused Body Wash with Amazing Vitamin B.  I have to say that I love the way it smelled :)  and the nice, rich soapy lather that it provided and even better the way it left my skin feeling after my shower :)  I hid it away in my bathroom thinking that I wouldn't share it with the whole fam LOL.  Someone must have found it because ....  I went to take a shower this morning and this is what I found.

Looks like somebody else liked it too :/  Before you know it the bottle will be empty :(

Pick me!

Make-A-Wish grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength, and joy.  Kids say wishes give them renewed strength to fight their illnesses, and their parents say these experiences help strengthen the entire family.

Based in Phoenix, Make-A-Wish is one of the world's leading children's charities, serving children in every community in the United States and it's territories.  With the help of generous donors and more than 25,000 volunteers, Make-A-Wish grants a wish somewhere in the country every 38 minutes!  More than 226,000 wishes have been granted since it's inception in 1980 with more than 14,000 of those in 2013 alone.  Please visit Make-A-Wish to learn more.

To honor the millions of children whose clothes Purex helps keep bright and clean every year, the Purex brand has teamed up with the Make-A-Wish foundation to bring some bright wishes to children.  Purex will pay $.05 per bottle for first 4 million bottles of 75oz+ liquic detergent sold from 

February 1 - February 28,2014 and will increase the payment to $.10 for every bottle above the 4 million with a minimum guarantee of $200,000 up to a maximum of $300,000.  

And, they will pay $.08 per bottle to Make-A-Wish for the first 620,000 bottles of Classic and Ultra Lines in Mountain Breeze and Sweet Lavender fabric softeners sold within that same time frame.  That ammount will increase to $.10 for every bottle above 620,000 with a minimum guarantee of $50,000 up to a maximum of $100,000.

Private Selection - Gourmet Cookies

As a member of BzzAgent, I am participating in a campaign for Private Selection Gourmet Cookies.  

I received an electronic coupon to use at Kroger to purchase my choice of cookies in order to fascilitate this review.  I received no further compensation and all opinions are 100% my own.

These come in four decadent flavors:  White Chocolate Macadamia Nut, Ultimate Chocolate Chunk, Turtle Brownie, and White Chocolate Coconut Almond.

I chose these delicious looking Turtle Brownie Cookies which are described as decadent brownie cookies loaded with caramel and pecans.  While I will say that I thought these were very good I felt like the caramel was a little hard and had an interesting flavor (not quite what I was expecting).  Also I will say, that I would probably never buy these myself as they were quite pricey at $4.49 for six cookies. However, I would buy them as a special treat for someone who might be in the hospital, having a birthday, or needing a little

 pick-me-up as they are quite nice in their presentation as they come in a nice bakery style box.  If you'd like to try them out for yourself, here's a $1/1 coupon

**As a member of PurexInsiders, I received a sample of New Purex Crystals Fresh Mountain Breeze for this product review.  However, all opinions expressed here are 100% my own!  

I choose to test this new scent out on my sons basketball clothes.  Too bad there isn't a scratch and sniff feature on here so that you can understand the terrible aroma that permeates their workout clothes but just imagine stinky, sweaty locker room smells and you'll kind of get the picture. 

Imagine my surprise when I opened the washer to a fresh, clean scent.  

everything was so soft and static free.

Purex Crystals are easy to use you simply pour the desired amount into the cap which serves as a measuring cup and toss them in the washer with your dirty clothes.  Everything comes out smelling fresh and clean and the scent lasts for weeks.

Disney Side Celebration

I was recently selected to host a Disney Side @Home Celebration.  I received free products in order to host the party but all opinions expressed here are my own!

Below you will see pictures of what I received for my celebration.  Let me just tell you that I was absolutely amazed at all of the great goodies included in my kit.  It makes planning my Disney Vacation even more exciting.

This 21" American Tourister (the Official Luggage of Walt Disney World & DisneyLand) is lightweight has a 10 year warranty and 360 spinner wheels for easy navigation.  Thanks to American Tourister for helping sponsor this event and supplying such a fantastic hostess gift.  

My party kit also consisted of 10 packs HP photo cards for at home printing.  Each pack contains just what you need to create fun, Disney Side cards that you can mail to friends and family.  Visit www.disneysidecelebrations.com to find fun Dsiney Side designs.   I am sure my party guests will be thrilled to get to take home a pack of these.  Thanks to the folks at HP for their help in sponsoring this event.

I was also provided with these cute Mickey ClubHouse party supplies which included plates, napkins, cups, and table cloth, and banner

There was also a Disney Bingo game, Disney Trivia cards, and instructions for Disney face painting.

There are lots of rubber band bracelets, stickers, tattoos, and balloons for favors as well as 

these awesome Muppet calendar cards.

They also sent twelve boxes of Craisins for a treat

These ESPN runDisney window decals and cheer cards and this 

IPhone 5 phone case were also included.  

Personally, I plan to use the phone case as a prize for Bingo at my party :)

and last but not least .... there were these beautiful lithograph posters with sturdy, protective envelopes to share with all of my party guests.  These are so adorable and great for framing and hanging.  And if you notice, perfect for Valentines :)  

These Disney cookie cutters and muffin liners were also included in the kit as was this set of measuring cups from the Chew.  Of course, any Disney theme party has to have Disney themed food LOL.  I plan to use the cookie cutters to do double duty and make cute little sandwiches cut in Disney shapes as well as cookies :)

I know my guests are going to be as excited as I am for this party.  We will be watching the Disney Vacation Planning DVD that was included in the hostess kit and talking about plans for our upcoming vacation.  

Like I said, I received all of these great products for free in exchange for my unbiased opinions and to share at my Disney Side party@Home Celebration.
