Renuzit Pearl Scents #Review and #Giveaway

We have a little game we play here when we get one of the boxes from Purex insiders. If there are different scents Karis and I always choose which one we hope is in the box. Well this time the picture was of five different ones and we picked our two favorites and then opened the box. Only to find they were the two that neither one of us had picked! LOL However we have been using the two we received for the last few weeks now and are very happy with the scent.
The one thing we did notice though was we thought this product worked much better in our smaller rooms, the scent kind of got lost in our bigger rooms but made a big impression in our bathroom. 
I was super excited this time to also get to refresh a spot in my home- If anyone knows me it's hard for me to decorate much in my house I feel like having four kids I don't want too many extra items to have to dust or worry the kids will knock off the wall when they kick a soccer ball in the house- because YES that does happen from time to time. So as soon as I knew I was going to get a $50 gift card to refresh my house I knew exactly what I wanted. I have three school aged kids and a little guy who has his own backpack loaded with diapers. Most days when everyone gets home the backpacks just get thrown on the floor. Why because my house has no entry way it's just "hi welcome to our house"  so I wanted hooks- something to help me keep at least slightly sane in my own home. Bare wall nothing there- it needs help!!


I also found this amazing piece of artwork (I won't tell you how much I spent because I want you to think it was much more than it really was) to go above it and add a pop of color in the room as well. 

AHHHHH!!!! PEACE OF MIND!!!! I plan to also use the hooks for their pool towels when summer comes- because we live at the pool in the summer and towels are just like bookbags- never put away.  So thanks to Renuzit and a fun trip to Marshalls to buy some much needed "breath of fresh air items" I am so excited for the refresh I received.
The Renuzit brand provided me with a sample of Renuzit Pearls Scents in exchange for a product review. However all the words stated here are mine.

Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion and Aveeno Protect and Hydrate lotion Review

I love Aveeno products. They are always what I turn to when I have a new baby because it never fails that for the first few months of their lives their skin is super sensitive. I had always thought of Aveeno as a baby product but I have been given the opportunity to try their product designed for me! I really have dry skin and need a product that lasts on my legs now that summer is coming and I am wearing shorts more often. I really enjoy the lasting effects that the Aveeno Daily Moisturizing lotion had on my legs. I didn't have to reapply after a few hours it lasted all day. I really enjoyed the Protect and Hydrate lotion as well. I used this one on my face when we went to an eight hour outdoors event.  I have extremely sensitive facial skin so I was trying it out to see if I would break out. No breaks out just great protection. I still love the Aveeno product line but I didn't realize I was going to be able to continue to enjoy it even as my kids get older. Thank you Crowdtap and Aveeno for sending me a free product to review. All the words stated here are my own.

Dial Kids' products #review #giveaway

So excited to get to share the Dial kids line with you. As the mother of four kids I am glad that Dial sees a need for my family to give them some fun products to get to use. The first product is the Dial foaming hand soap. This soap has such a fun smell I enjoy using it myself has a nice watermelon scent and the kids just love it.
I was also given some Dial Baby body wash to use on Javan and it works really nice. This is the perfect product for kids who have sensitive skin and need a gentle body wash. When Javan was a newborn he needed a product with no scent because he kept breaking out with a rash when I would use any lotions or body wash with a scent. I Love this product for that reason because it didn't/doesn't cause break outs. Here was my dilemma- now I LOVE scent on my kids so I was trying to think what I could do and came up with the perfect solution I added a few drops of lavender essential oil to the wash because that is a great oil to use before bedtime and our kids always take night baths so I gave it a light hint of scent and still have a great quality product. So along with my two littles I give both of these products two thumbs up. Don't forget to use the Rafflecopter at the bottom of this page to enter to win a free product coupon. Good luck!
Thank you Dial and Purex Insiders for the samples I got to use so that I could give my readers a real picture of how these products work. All of the opinions stated here are my own.

Sweet Tarts Soft and Chewy Ropes #Review

My family would like to tell you a bit about the fun new treat we got to share from Sweet Tarts over Spring Break. The kids were so excited to try a new candy and I was curious as well. My husband loves candy so he was also excited. We were not disappointed we enjoyed these candy ropes and the burst of sweetness that was on the inside. The only problem was we ran out too quickly. My kids are hoping that Sweet Tart adds a few flavor varieties but it will be a guarantee to be back in our house again soon! 

Thank you Smiley360 and Sweet Tarts for the free sample I received. All the words stated here are my own.

Purex Crystals ScentSplash #Giveaway #Review

Whenever I do surveys on laundry they always ask if I like a lot of scent in my laundry and I always answer yes. I just think that if you can smell a great smell after the laundry is done then it actually feels done. If I don't have any scent sometimes I wonder if the clothes are actually clean. So I was super excited to get to try the new fragrance boosters. Karis and I picked which one we hoped was in the box- I wanted to try the green one she wanted the pink one and since Javan's favorite color is blue of course that was the one he wanted. Well he won and we got to try the blue one. The scent boost is very noticable and I really liked it because it did hang out on the clothes when I put them away and then got them out again. I love using scent boosters when I wash clothes to give away or sell because then the people who get the clothes know they are clean! I am excited to smell the other two scents in the store because in all honesty I am not sure this is the scent I would choose- I liked it but it is strong enough you want to make sure you have a scent you almost love before committing :) At least I do. I will highly recommend this product and the last two weeks using it I have enjoyed the smell of my house as I do laundry
Thanks again PurexInsiders and Purex for allowing me to try this product for free. All of the words in this review are mine.

Another Dial Hand Soap Giveaway and Review!

Wow I had a lot of people try to win a coupon for my last giveaway so I am excited to let you know I received three more coupons to giveaway from Dial. This time I got to try the Miracle Oil hand soap. Since I had tried the body wash I knew the smell to expect and I was very happy to get to try the soap. It works really well and has just a fun sweet scent- it's not really a smell I can compare to anything but I do think it smells really nice. I also like the added oil in there which helps my hands not to dry out. So once again I have three coupons. Thanks so much to Purex Insiders and Dial for giving me a sample to try and send me free coupons. All the words said here are my own.

Dial Hand Soap #Review and #Giveaway!

My kids had an intervention with me a few weeks ago and said "mom the winter scented soap has got to go, it's SPRING!" So I was extremely excited to get the new Dial Sugar Cane Husk Scrub Hand Soap while they were at school so I could put it out and tell them I listened to them! I love that Dial is increasing their product line, it makes me very happy because they have always been one of my favorite and the new products that they have come out with in the Hand Soap field are great and will keep them caught up and ahead of many of their competitors. I loved the smell of the Sugar Cane and I loved the added moisturizer in the soap- it also has gentle micro-scrubbers in it to fight off dead skin so it keeps my hands looking healthy. Two other products that I have yet to try but I have coupons for are the  Miracle Oil Liquid Hand Soap and the Omega Moisture foaming Hand Wash with Sea Berries! I can not wait to try this product as when I am in charge of buying the soap I always pick the foam- it just seems easier for the kids to use. I have one product coupon for each of the above mentioned soaps so in the rafflecopter make sure you answer the question as to what order you would like to win them in so that I hopefully get you the one that you want the most.
