Cottonelle #LetsTalkAboutYourBum - Sample & Share

#LETSTALKABOUTYOURBUM

Thanks to Crowdtap and Cottonelle Clean Crew I was able to try Cottonelle Fresh Care Flushables Wipes for free and share my honest opinion.

Lets begin ......

I am a fan of Cottonelle Toilet Paper and use it constantly in my home for it is the brand we love. Most of you are familiar with their toilet paper and may or may have seen that they have been promoting their flushable wipes on youtube videos which I find rather amusing.

This one is my favorite... See below:

Now in order to grasp the concept ask yourself this, why do we use wet wipes on a baby's bum? Is it because it is more precious than an adult's bum? Or is it that we want to get it the best possible clean they can get without a bath... I think it is the latter.. Now what is wrong with us feeling that same freshness after every bathroom use... So this is where we begin the talk about your bum!!!

The Cottonelle Flushable Wipes provides that extra clean feel after using the bathroom. Whether is number 1 or number 2 you will always stay fresh. I prefer using a combination of toilet paper and wipes, hey why not... If it is available to me then I shall use it, hence why I carry a portable pack in my bag. So I always feel confident about using the bathroom when on the go. Did I mention that the full size wipes come in a cute dispenser which I am hoping will come in various styles and colors. It is now in white which goes great with any décor but variety never hurts anyone.

Some have queried about the fact that the wipes do not flush easily or doesn't dissolve, I personally haven't had that problem and we use both constantly at our home. Cottonelle have ran numerous tests to support their claim that the wipes are flushable. If that is a concern you are can visit their website here: Cottonelle. Visit www.facebook.com/cottonelle where the bum conversation continues on.

Feel free to join Crowdtap  to get in more about the Cottonelle Clean Crew and your voice can be heard.

Thanks for reading..

Not Trivial Truvia

Many of us use sweeteners in our coffee, tea, drinks on a regular. But do we really know what we are putting in our drinks. I have heard people say it is just sugar and it is sweet but do not understand what it contains. And I also used to be one of those people. Once it sweetened my coffee or tea I was satisfied. But after doing diligent research I have found that so many sweeteners contain substances like "Aspartame" & " Saccharine".

I recently found TRUVIA Natural Sweetener which is made from the Stevia plant. I can go into a detailed description but Truvia website has a more colorful explanation for your eyes. But for a short description the Ingredients include Erythritol, Stevia Leaf Extract and Natural Flavors. A lot less complicated compared to other sweeteners don't you think.

Thanks to Crowdtap and Truvia I was able to try complimentary  and share with my family and friends what Truvia Natural Sweetener has to offer.

My favorite thing about Truvia is that it comes as Baking Blend also (Truvia mixed with sugar), which is awesome because what ever you are making will bake and brown with less calories. Here are the cupcakes I made with Truvia Baking Blend.

  I love a good cup of tea in the morning and I always tend to add lots of sugar, but now with Truvia I only use two packets of their sugar and it is just as great. I always tend to carry a couple of packets in my bag for my convenience.

For those persons who don't like having packets around (even though it is quite convenient), Truvia Sweetener comes in the spoonable container which are great for you home.

Hope you had fun learning more about Truvia... Enjoy!!!

TMI - City of Bones (Movie Review)

I want to start this off by saying Thank You to Crowdtap for allowing me complimentary access to this movie.

Now lets begin.

In order to appreciate a book you must first be able to put yourself in that book and let your imagination and the tale of the book become one. So I read The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones book before I went to watch the movie. I was anxious and excited that the movie was coming out since I was a fan of the book. I started wondering what effects that would come alive from my vivid imagination, what the characters would look like and would the story play out the same.

I have honestly never been a fan of books to movies because in the past I have been disappointed. And guess what, I was yet again. Despite my enthusiasm that was expressed in many forms I was truly hoping for it to be a blow out and to be able to draw in new fans. It did not live up to my expectations and not to say that it was a bad movie, it just wasn't the images that needed to come to life. However, it is definitely worth the watch. Many people who have not read the book will be drawn into the story of being a Mundane, Shadowhunter and a Downworlder. It takes a lot though to meet the standards that I have played out in my head.

All the actors did an amazing job as to bringing the characters to life especially Lily Collins as Clary. She is able to pull us into her drama, confusion, turmoil and mixed emotions without a glitch.

Definitely a must see movie for the summer

CourtYard Hounds presents AMELITA

*

Amelita Track Listing:

1. Sunshine
2. Amelita
3. The World Smiles
4. Aimless Upward
5. Guy Like You
6. Rock All Night
7. Phoebe
8. Divided
9. Gets You Down
10. Watch Your Step
11. The Road You Take

"I love this band...the way we explore new aspects of ourselves and what we can expect from each other, both musically and as people," says Martie. "We are close. Plus, being on the road and being in the studio is like my spa from the everyday challenges of just being a mom.”

After a few years away from the limelight and the Dixie Chicks, the two sisters were ready to get back into the studio with the creation of Court Yard Hounds. Amelita, out now, marks the Court Yard Hounds' second album.

I have listened to this album over and over again and it never gets old. It has something for everyone, whether you are just coming out of a relationship heartbroken, or going into a brand new one with new love or even being married with long love. Amelita could be one of my favorite songs on there. The chorus lyrics:

"I take your hand, let’s go tonight
Just leave it all, I promise you’ll
Be fine across the bridge, the lights of town
You smile, and never turn around
I remember you and Amelita
Have you no pride?
You’ve got the rest of your life"

It takes you a different place that can help you start over. Every female needs that song she can go to that kind of motivates you to know that its ok to move on. This album creates a mood for all to enjoy. It takes you back to a time when you were at school and girls were just horrible to a guy breaking you down. The CourtYard Hounds have a come a long way from their first album. This album is amazing and I have to keep repeating this. Even if you never heard CourtYard Hounds and heard Amelita you would instantly fall in love. I recommend this album to listen to for going on roadtrips, cleaning times or just sitting on the subway on your way to work.
