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..

Finally A Facebook Page

Facebook Page - Like, Follow & Share!!

I keep wondering why have I never made a facebook page after almost 3 years of being able to be apart of so many opportunities. I always get the questions of how I am able to get so much stuff for low or no cost to me. I spend a lot of time rummaging through the internet because I used to be and will soon be again a stay at home mom. I constantly needed to find ways of saving so I can get things that I want or we need without breaking the budget. Anyways enough about me... I want to use this facebook page to share with you what I know and how to get many of these opportunities for yourself. Alot of these opportunities are available through just a quick application and then the waiting begins. Hint: the more active you are the better it gets..

Here are few websites to get you started

1)  Houseparty - A personal favorite, which I have been a member of for the longest and it is very easy to start. You fill out a few surveys and tell them about yourself then you find out what parties are now receiving applications. You apply and do minor actions to increase your chances (let's say by sharing on Facebook or twitter and also reading the announcements and starting conversations). If you are chosen to be a host, they usually give you 30 minutes to fill out a quicks 2 minute survey and inviting at least 12 people via email mainly. You then get your package in the mail within 2 weeks and have your party, take pictures and have fun. The most wonderful thing about houseparty is that the host gets the most amazing items to keep and your guest are just as satisfied. I have tried items from Fisher Price, Hot Wheels, Glade and Huggies before they go on the market.

2) BzzAgent - This W.O.M. Is also just as good as houseparty. Basically you get do surveys so that they are able to get to know you and what you like and would be willing to try and buzz about in reviews and face to face. There are new campaigns almost every week that I have noticed and based on your answers in the surveys, they send you an email inviting you to try the campaign which you can decline if you don't like it. You are more likely to get chosen quicker than houseparty and it takes less actions to get an invite. Keep your buzz score (bzzscore) high and the more likely you will be invited and for better ones.

3) Smiley360 - this is a fairly new W.O.M. which is not as great as the first two mentioned but do have some really good brands to try. You do missions to gain smiles which would help you get better missions and score better and bigger brands. The missions are becoming more frequent throughout the year, just gain all your 50 smiles per mission.

4) Moms Meet - this is a W.O.M. is mainly for moms or people who want to learn about a greener living, organic foods/products and parenting. Love this, so many great ideas and parties to host with other moms. 

5) Swaggable - this website is also very new but pretty interesting. You don't need to do much to get chosen to try an item. Basically, as the norm you full out the info about yourself and what you like and dislike. Then there will be a list of products that you may (want) to try and you just click them. Based on my experience you get invited to try mainly the newer products based on your want list. There aren't many products but are very new products and very unique (the average person would definitely not pick it up during their grocery run). 

I hope you like this list and take the time to join and get new/free stuff to your door.

RETRO GLAM WITH RIMMEL LONDON

As of November 2013, Rimmel London added to their line a new mascara called ScandalEyes Retro Glam Mascara. This new mascara gives you the bold, wide eye, false lash look that looks amazing both day and night.

Thanks to Infuenster I was able to test this product in my RoseVoxBox I got in November. I have been using ScandalEyes Retro Glam Mascara ever since. I am not high on putting on makeup but this went on so good and lasted through out the day that I used at every opportunity I got. So I decided to share this in this short yet sweet blogpost.

See below how I went from ordinary to extra-retro-ordinary in one swipe:

This was my day look, and you can clearly see a big difference in how bold and inviting my eyes look. How Scandalous!!!!.. If this isn't bold enough for you, I suggest that you do my little trick. This is a quick trick to get an even bolder look; you shimmy the mascara brush left to right twice, then one stroke from back to front from the top then lastly another stroke back to front from the bottom. That should dazzle you even more.

This is my evening look, with a little bit of eyeliner and eyeshadow along with your ScandalEyes Retro Glam Mascara, you should see the nightlights in your eyes. I would definitely recommend this product if these are the types of looks that you are going for. Remember how easy and quick it is to achieve and that is why I love this product.

Disclosure: This product was given compliments Influenster for testing purposes and my honest review.

Dr Scholls Does It Cozy

I was able to try once again another amazing Dr Scholls product from Influenster in my #RoseVoxBox. This time it is Dr Scholls For Her Cozy Cushions. It is for your boots, booties, loafers and flats, not heels this time around. It was perfect timing because winter seem to have come earlier than usual so I was already wearing my boots and I don't like boots (I'm a summer baby).

Those insoles can be trimmed for a better fit and to make it easier to put into the shoes. It has a rubber sole which makes the transition from one shoe to another smooth and without damage. On top of the rubber sole there is the white cushion which makes walking in boots alot Moe comfortable and warmer. I personally wear them in my train boots and timberlands.

I recommend those insoles to those who find boots especially uncomfortable and looking for added warmth based on my experience. On average it cost about $12.00 at your local drugstores such as walgreens or you can get them at target or Wal-Mart. The price is reasonable for the quality and longevity you get out of the insoles. You can also get coupons on their website -- Dr. Scholls

New PUMA Mobium

CROWDTAP, PUMA & I Presents

New Puma Mobium Athletic Shoes & ACTV Apparel

I was more than privy to test out Puma New Line - Mobium shoes and ACTV apparel from Crowdtap and Puma.

So in my package I received Puma Mobium shoes, V Neck Training Tee, Training Jacket & ACTV Long Tights.

First I want to talk to all runners, joggers or power walkers and even those who just love to workout. This is perfect for all women who want to be comfortable, be seen and be stylish.

Puma Mobium Sneakers

If you are a Puma fan like I am you will love these shoes because they are so comfy because of the cushion inside and the overall shape that perfects the fit. When you are running I can almost guarantee that you will run longer when wearing those shoes. I normally run on average a mile a day and walk about 2 miles to and from walk then go up about another dozen flight of stairs. When I first wore them I felt energized and there was an obvious pep in my step.

My favorite pieces are the ACTV tights. It has athletic tape strategically placed so that you are able to workout or run at your best therefore improving your performance. The areas it targets are your shin, the thigh, your calf, Achilles tendon and your glute. This helps you during exercise and after exercise to maximize your energy.

The jacket is pretty amazing also if you pay attention to detail while doing what it needs to. Besides being comfortable it is also breathable (if you notice the second picture featuring the underarm). It also has reflectors (sterilite) all over for running at night and also features several secure pockets for you phone or ipods while running.

I hope you appreciate the full picture of my PUMA gear. Comfy yet fashionable. It is highly recommended for all. You can find the links for purchase below:

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!!!
