Who Wants Silky, Clean and Wonderfully Smelling Hands? Presenting the Lysol Touch of Foam!

A few weeks ago I was sent The Lysol Touch of Foam Hand Wash from BzzAgent for review purposes, and I can honestly say that this is a unique product.

Not only does it clean hands and kill bacteria effectively, as the Lysol brand is known to do, but there are additional unexpected features which set it apart from the rest. I was very pleasantly surprised at how nice the hand wash smelled; it is a floral scent, described as "creamy vanilla orchid", and I get that orchid and even lavender or freesia note. The scent is strong in that you can smell it while washing your hands, and yet it is not overpowering by any means. It is a soft, fresh smell that lingers on your hands even after you wash and dry them. I'm smelling my hands right now, and I've never used a product like this before. I wish we had smell-o-vision...This is a vanilla orchid...right on the money, very accurate description of this wonderful fresh floral scent.

Another very important feature that I wanted to mention, was the silkiness of my skin after I use it. It's hard to describe, but unlike any other hand soap I've used, even the foam kind, the Lysol Touch of Foam leaves this smooth feeling on my hands. It rinses off easily and doesn't leave my hands feeling tight and dry. It really is unique, and I will continue to purchase this product because I have found nothing else like it. It almost feels luxurious to use this product, like a personal little treatment for your hands. I love it so much that I use very little every time I wash my hands because I want it to last, and a little bit goes a long way. I can't say enough about this product, and I highly recommend it to everyone. Keep this in your bathroom or your kitchen, you'll be happy to wash your hands every time you reach for it.

Have you ever been a guest at someone's house and used their restroom, then went to wash your hands, and took note of their wonderful hand soap, wondering why yours back at home doesn't lather the same, doesn't smell the same? Yes, I sure have. Now I feel proud to display this on my bathroom sink, use it and love it...and I know my guests will love it too.

 

I was provided this product complimentary of BzzAgent for review.

Review of Palmolive Fresh Infusions - Yummy :D

Palmolive Fresh Infusions

In my previous experience of buying dish soap, I always stuck to what was the least expensive option. After trying the Palmolive Fresh Infusions, I can honestly say that I will not be going back to my "regular" choice. I am so impressed by this soap. Lime Basil has a wonderful scent, as do the Lemon Thyme and Ginger White Tea. My favorite is the Ginger White Tea...I find this scent to be rather unique. It is feminine and floral, and yet it smells clean and fresh. The scent is very natural, it doesn't smell synthetic, and yet it is potent enough to smell while cleaning dishes. It is light... not heavy or chemically in any way. I brought the Lemon Thyme over to my fiance's house, and he loves it. From a man's standpoint, he says and I quote "smell good, clean, not like those other lemon-y ones, and gets the job done". So there you have it :) 

All of these have a Very pleasant smell, and as for the bottles, I love the design. It is sleek and the the graphics of lemons, flowers and herbs look so delicate on the bottle.

As for the performance, I have to say that is another A+ for this product. The tiniest amount is necessary to create a lot of lather and the suds just keep on coming. It takes a small little dollop to clean a greasy pan where meat was cooked for instance, and this same little dollop can be used to wash several plates and glasses.

 

<--little drop. 

The bubbles themselves have this iridescent shine to them, and the scent of the fragrance is still noticeable when you let the product sit for a few to really get some hard to remove stuff to loosen up before washing. The Palmolive Fresh Infusions dish soap cleans dishes, pans and pots so incredibly well. Once the dishes are lathered up, with a few swipes the food is gone, and the soap washes away really easily under a stream of water. There is no left over greasiness, or any slick feeling that some other dish soaps leave behind, requiring us to keep washing them off under the faucet. 

 Palmolive Fresh Infusions washes away without leaving any residue, and leaves behind "Sparkling Clean" dishes.

 

As an added benefit, when I use this dish soap, I actually feel like I'm doing something good for my hands. This soap does such an amazing job cleaning dishes and taking the grease out, however, it does not strip my hands of moisture.I normally have very dry cuticles, and this soap does not dry my hands out at all. It actually makes me look forward to washing dishes in some way, or maybe it just makes it a bit more fun ;-) I feel like I'm using something special when I see this soap in my kitchen, and I secretively just give it a quick sniff and it makes me smile every time, thinking how yummy this smells. I would highly recommend this product and I will continue purchasing it from now on. 

 

Thank you so much Influenster and Palmolive for being so generous with your customers. It is very much appreciated!!!

First Impression of Palmolive Fresh Infusions

The other day, I came home to a wonderful surprise in the mail. I had finally received my Box from Influenster. Although I had a slight idea as to what to expect...dish soap, that is, I was not prepared for the wonderful products contained in this shipment. The Palmolive Fresh Infusions!!! In all it's glory :) Take a look:

Not only was Influenster and Palmolive generous enough to send us full sized products, but we received all 3 of the new scents, along with 5 coupons to keep and share! Once I opened the box, the first thing I did was take a big whiff of each bottle, and let me tell you, they smell amazing. I love them all, but my personal favorite is the Ginger White Tea. There is something here for Everyone, and Lemon Thyme and Lime Basil do not disappoint. All of these have a Very pleasant smell, and as for the bottles, I love the design. It is sleek and the the graphics of lemons, flowers and herbs looks so delicate on the bottle. I think I am going to love these!... and I know that whomever I share a bottle with, will enjoy this dish soap as well. A thorough review is coming right up!

Holiday Party 2012

So it's been a few days since the party, and I've been battling with the photo department at my local drug store, which shall remain nameless. Before I talk about the picture dilemma, let me say a word or two about the party itself. My honey and I got all dressed up for the first time in a long time. It felt nice. We drove out to where his job is, which is actually a really beautiful residential "town"... the residents have game rooms, restaurants, an enormous outside pool, a fully stacked gym and so many other recreational features I wish my apartment complex had. Once we made it to the x's floor, pretty high up, the city looked amazing from the balcony and walkway with the pool and entryway overlooking the lake.

The city of Aventura was lit up; it was beautiful. Almost felt like I was at prom again, at a fancy hall dance. Anyhow, everyone was very pleasant, friendly and inviting. It started out with appetizers, then dinner, and finished off with dancing. For some reason I wasn't feeling that dance-y; in fact, it was almost a shyness that came through. I felt really insecure, and I didn't want to be embarrassed. It was one of those situations where the dance floor was empty for the most part, and when the people came out to dance, they were really good! like really good....almost like they were professional dancers. I was impressed. I can't dance next to that! No, no, no. I don't know if anyone's been in this situation where you are being pressured into dancing, when you really don't want to. Well, yes, it was like that. Ah, overall, it was a really good night, and the candlelight made it feel so special.

The best part of it was spending time with Maikol, and being able to have real grown-up time alone to eat dinner and to walk around the beautiful property. With that said, we took lots of pictures, which I've had a great deal of problems printing. Now it sounds simple: you send it pictures to your local drugstore, pick them up and there, easy peasy. Unfortunately, the place I sent the pictures to either cut the pictures off in a way that cropped parts of heads or feet or anything else, or they drastically changed the coloring of the photos, and they completely mixed up the collage I created on their website. I was so frustrating. I literally had to go back 4 times to the store, to keep getting things reprinted and fixed, and guess what? it's still not done. I gave up on the collage; they could not get it right time after time. I don't know if it's their online photo customization or upload department, or the stores work flow and process..of the computer printing everything as is, without them reviewing the order, or something else, I don't know. All I'm sure of, is that next time, I'm going to process my photo order elsewhere. And this was a very important and memorable event, one that I bought frames for and everything.

I had an amazing time making memories with my honey. Here is my favorite photo of the night :-)

Dedication to Gillette Venus Embrace Mix & Match System

To start off....The razor was NOT sent to me by Influenster, as I was not one of the lucky participants to receive one to review it. I purchased it with my own money, hoping that all the glowing reviews were an accurate representation of how wonderful the razor Mix & Match Venus system truly is.

I am so impressed with this razor. The 5 blade system was intimidating at first, but once I tried it, I knew that I would never go back to 3 or 4 blades again. I normally use the Kiss my Face shaving cream with my regular razor, but once I purchased the Venus & Olay shaving head, I didn't feel it was even that necessary to use as much shaving gel or cream with it. The razor glides really smoothly on its own, and it gives me a close shave, without Any nicks or cuts, or the burning of my skin that I pretty much feel Every time I shave my legs. I could not believe it. For the first time, shaving was not painful during or after the shower. My legs didn't feel raw, itchy or burning at all. Just smooth, without any signs of irritation.

You have the option of choosing the Venus blade refill with any Venus razor handle. How great is that?

 WooHoo!!!! This is a really great idea. Customizable razor heads with the convenience of keeping the same handle if one wishes to try a new cartridge!

Disclosure: I did not receive my razor complimentary from Influenster. I purchased it with my own money based on the positive reviews written by other Influensters.

My Experience with the Crest 3D White Professional Effects Whitestrips

Today's entry is all about the Crest 3D White Professional Effects Whitestrip. I tried these babies after I saw so many other Influensters raving about how wonderful the product was. I wasn't one of the lucky Influensters to receive the Crest 3D White Professional Effects Whitestrips complimentary in the mail to review, HOWEVER, all is not lost lol I read tons of reviews about this product, and I couldn't be happier about other reviewers giving us their honest take on this product. So I went out to the Walmart and took the plunge. It was a bit expensive, but then again a professional whitening session at your dentist would surely cost more. And talk about convenience. There's no need to make an appointment, pay the copay, and sit in those uncomfortable chairs. With the Crest 3D White Professional Effects Whitestrips, I can whiten at home anytime I would like.

These whitestrips are pretty powerful. What I mean is, they are jam-packed with whitening power. I have sensitive teeth and gums, so I am not able to use these everyday....I use them once a week or twice a week at the most. And boy do they deliver. After one, yes ONE use, my teeth were at least 3 shades whiter, brighter, and my teeth looked so shiny. I was really impressed with how effective these were after just one use. As for the application, yes the strips go on nicely, they stretch to fit my upper and lower teeth. The fit is pretty comfortable, I can talk and drink while wearing them, however, you do feel them. I mean, you can tell that there is a foreign object on your teeth so it feels a fit out of place for the time you're wearing them. However, a regular whitening treatment, is much much worse in comparison, with that plastic peice that holds your mouth open. Makes me cringe just thinking about it. So the Crest 3D White Professional Effects Whitestrips, are worlds away from that seemingly beneficial torture. Once I removed the whitestrips which came off without any problems, there was some left over gel, which was Easily removed by just brushing my teeth.

I am really impressed by the Crest 3D White Professional Effects Whitestrips, and again, I'm thankful to have read wonderful reviews from Inflensters who received this product to review.

You can check out the Crest 3D White Professional Effects Whitestrips at the Crest 3D White Website

And remember "If You're Not Whitening, You're Yellowing."

My First Holiday Party...coming tomorrow

Tomorrow evening, I will be joining my fiance, Maikol for a holiday party at his job. Now, I've never been to one per se' so I'm a little nervous. I mean, I'm sure it'll be fine. Maybe some wine and dancing *crossing my fingers, I don't fall over in my heels *ohh which reminds me, here's to hoping the shoes don't kill my feet after wearing them longer than 30 minutes. I asked Maikol if it'll be fancy-shmancy, and he just gave me a look as if I asked him what the meaning of life was. Secretively, I have this Jason Wu dress in the back of my closet. I really want to pull it out and give it a whirl lol no pun intended. I was saving the dress for some special occasion, but today I thought to myself, why? I bought the dress, it's beautiful, it's timeless, and it certainly isn't a "wear me once" type of dress because I don't buy those anyway. What's the point of having this nice piece of clothing just hanging there, taunting you, when you can enjoy wearing it time and time again. Therefore, I have decided to bust out the following dress, which by the way, I hunted down at a Target not local to me at all. I must of called ..I don't know how many stores...and finally, one had a return, and it happened to be my size...oh AND and and, it was on sale because it was a return but there was nothing wrong with it just the tags were missing.

Ah I was so excited, I twirled around in the dressing room like a 5 year old, then wondered if anyone was around to see my feet dancing underneath the dressing stall. I was happy. I'll be wearing this beauty with a pair of sparkly champagne peep toe heels I recently got at DSW. And not to mention, I got them for a whopping, are you ready for this? $5, originally $75 I think. I found them on the clearance rack for 80% off, and I had a $10 coupon DSW sent me in my email. The shoes were in brand new condition, just missing a box, and they were my size too :) I was like Score! Even the guy at the register had to do a double take. Then he said "wish I could buy shoes for 5 bucks" and smiled :) I'm kind of frugal, in a sense that I love a good deal and I wait for sales/coupons to come my way before I take the plunge.

SO, I'm excited about my night on the town tomorrow with my hubby. We don't really ever have time for the two of us, so this will be quite nice. Here's to Everyone's Holiday Season being amazing, filled with happiness, health, love and success-as one sees fit!
