Review on Secret Clinical Strength Deodorant

Let me start off this post by saying I got a sample of Secret from Secret that did a presentation with Crowdtap who sent me the sample to test out and review.

Now the reason I wanted to try this deodorant was because it seemed to be a different type. It has a  Adapts&Responds protection that changes and responds to the woman's body for customized protection. That to me is beyond fascinating. Second it said "Light and Fresh" thats always a plus when you are a woman who wears black a lot and wants to not worry about whats going on with her deodorant. I'm talking about me.

I must say it went on smooth,smelled fresh and dried clear. Left no marks behind. 
My favorite part was how it adapts to what my body is doing. I loved the constant smell and protection.

I did a work out and it worked great through that. I then went on my normal day and it proved again that it blends with my body and gives you that protection that works before its even needed.

Secret says: " Helps stop odor before it starts. Clinical Wetness protection. Stress sweat protection. All day fresh scent. Gentle on Skin. Light and Fresh. Adapts&Responds."

I believe that this is a product I will keep in my cabinet for use during the hot summer days. The 48 hr protection will be fantastic for nights. 

I am impressed, I have always liked the Secret brand but this is a good addition. I love my work outs and I love smelling good.

Review on O.B Pro comfort regular Tampons

Who knew I would be this excited over tampons!
I got to try thanks to Crowdtap,O.B tampons. I got the product for free to test and give my honest opinion about. Which is what I'm doing. Everything I say is straight from me. No bull. Nothing fake. #sponsored


First thing first. I am not a tampon person so to say, but I do have them for back up and for my step daughter,family members and friends who come over. When I was teen though I did use O.b tampons. I liked them then so I wanted to give them a try again. It was like reliving my teen-hood.

I actually got 3 carriers but one is already in my purse.

These were the pro comfort regular tampons. I have a odd flow. Sometimes heavy,sometimes light,sometimes short and sometimes long. I am on birth control so it varies. 

These worked well for my normal type days. I loved them.

Anyone remember in school or maybe even now,when you secretly and discreetly try to unwrap your period protection? These have no applicator. Which is better for the environment and better for our embarrassment. Ah,who am I kidding I am sure we all got over that but still who wants to do good for the environment!? I do.

They also have a SilkTouch as they call it that makes for a better insertion. And they are right.  

These are comfy,reliable,cute packaging and exactly what woman need more of. 

O.b has Regular, Super and Super plus. They have a "fluid-Lock"grooves that helps with protection. I felt secure with these.

 O.b know their tampons and also takes other things into consideration like the environment. I like that in a company.

Over all I had a good experience and recommend you try O.b brand. 

Reynolds Slow Cooker Liners Review

The following post is about Reynolds Slow Cooker Liners that I received free from Crowdtap. I was given them to test and give a honest opinion about. I was not paid for it and I am 100% honest.


The slow cooker is a BIG DEAL in our home. I cook at least 3 times a week if not more with it. It might be for a full meal or I might make part of a meal in it. Either way I love my slow cooker. I have three. Thats right three, all difference sizes. I am a slow cooker geek.

Yet..I have never tried Reynolds Liners, I have never until 2 weeks ago even knew where they were located in a store. Frankly I just wasn't sure if they were worth it. Which leads me to the before the test,test. 

First thing I did was went to my local Walmart and found Reynolds Slow Cooker Liners in the aisle with the plastic wrap,aluminum foil etc. I noticed they were 4 liners for under $2. That caught my attention in a good way!

Next day was SUPERBOWL! I made chili using my liners. 
Lets get into some details first: they fit 3-6.5 quart round and oval slow cookers. The purpose of them is to speed up the clean up time. Make it easier. Make it practical. The soaking,scrubbing,washing and sometimes much more effort then there should be to all go away. Lets be honest we use the slow cooker to help when we are busy or trying to accomplish a lot at a time. So many reasons we use it so why spend a lot of time on clean up? Ta da meet Reynolds Liners.

Back to my amazing chili for Superbowl 50.

 I got everything out and was ready to go!

Look how nicely it fits in there.

Just about to eat! It was a worry of mine that the liners would melt or something awful. It didn't. I cooked it for 4-5hrs. My lid fit on well. Everything went very smoothly.

While waiting for my chili,I noticed they have a box top on there. That makes me very happy.

Over all I was very impressed. 

See that clean up! I rinsed the lid and called it a night.  I love these.  They are a huge improvement to clean up time. No complaints or criticism. 

Garnier Color Sensation hair color (color Black) Review

Crowdtap has done it again. I have been chosen to review and voice opinion on Garnier Color Sensation Hair color. Color Black. I was given the product for free and all opinions and thoughts in this post are my own and no one influenced or paid me for it.
#Sponsored

 Let me jump for joy! I have been dying my hair since I was 14 ( am now 28) and for the last 6 years I have been staying with Black. Naturally I am a light brown.
Recently I dyed my hair red....orange...Didn't cover my dark hair color; that was a fail.

 

I have long hair but not thick so I took the chance with the one box that was sent to me.

I have tried many brands and types of hair color in my time. Purple,Red,Copper,Burgundy,Bright Blonde,Pink..Etc. I am sure I have used a Garnier before but this being new, I was ready.

First let me tell you what this product gives for info. It is for full head cover or a root touch up. Has rig pigments that ensure long lasting color and "fade resistant with 100% Gray coverage". The new Color Sensation says to have a silky shine due to "precious oils". No Mess.Non drip cream formula.

 You get Developer Bottles,Colorant cream tube,After care conditioner,instructions with gloves and a hair coloring brush.

I will admit I don't follow the way they say to color by taking pieces of hair..etc but anyway. Off I went to my new hair color!

I have to admit something else. I have never had a dye that it didn't turn that color when mixed in the bottle. I applied it,and it was white. It made it easier to see where I had put it which was a plus. Although my loving boyfriend said "If it turns your hair white,I'm going to laugh" Thanks babe.

And we wait. 25 mins.

This is what I learned and liked so far. The smell was one of the best in the hair color world. Some make you feel like you possibly might be going to get high. Which is not the case but the smell is horrific. Second,I liked the way it applied. Going on white,it was easy to blend in and one box did all my hair. I liked the brush that was included. That was nifty for my roots and around my ears. Easy instructions. Color I got on my face which I am known to do, I am not the most graceful or careful person,came off with a washcloth and cold water.

25 mins later,and I realized my head didn't itch or burn like it has before with other hair color brands and types. We had black hair! The rinse was easy. I do have one thing negative to say and that was the amount of conditioner. For long hair like mine it in my mind wasn't enough. My hair also didn't feel as smooth after. Which I feel was the conditioner. But my hair is frizzy and a mess anyway. See below. =D

 Hard to tell but I have frizzy hair. This was before the dye.

That was my one and only complaint.

And the final result.

BLACK!!!!!

One reason I love black hair is the fierceness I feel. I wish I had better photos. I have a retired Iphone lol so I apologize for the graininess. None the less. It came out shiny,fully covered and black!!!

I would purchase Garnier again. I would get this color and probably will get this color again. I am beyond thrilled I got to try Garnier New Color Sensation. 

Any questions feel free to ask. I give it a thumbs up.

Listerine Healthy White Mouth Rinse Review

I got thanks to being a Crowdtap member,to try for free Listerine's Healthy White anticavity Mouthrinse. Please understand all the things I say are my opinion. I was sent it to review and that is what I am doing.

Let me set the scene for you a bit so you understand and comprehend how I am now feeling about this product. My teeth are not the greatest. I didn't take real good care of them when I was a kid, Now that I am older I am so much better but the effect of my past shows on my teeth. I was a smoker.WAS. I drink coffee.A lot of coffee. My teeth in my mind would have no response to the Listerine. I went into this feeling pretty down. 

Then 3 days ago happened,then 2 days ago then today.  Not going to lie the minute it hit my mouth I loved it. The taste was not that harsh want to spit it right out squinting eyes type taste. It was refreshing but felt like it was working. I started to get excited. I spit it out and looked up and I saw a difference. It wasn't big but it was there and the powerful feeling after is what got me. Day 2, I was so excited to see the progress. Again I saw some. Then today on day 3, I really saw a difference. There is hope for these teeth. I feel awesome.

The pictures are from day 3. I may look silly but really I don't care. I love this stuff. I would recommend it to anyone.

Here are the top 5 things I adore about Listerine HealthyWhite Anticavity Mouthrinse:
1. As the bottles says "It starts to whiten on Contact" <--Very true!
2. Clean mint flavor. So refreshing.
3. The bottle. I like the pop it has,I like the cap and the new look.
4. My mouth felt so clean and I could tell it was keeping bad breath away.
5. Prevention of cavities. That is perfect. 

There you have it. I am a honest woman. I am in love with this stuff. =) I recommend it.
Thank you Crowdtap, for letting me try this product.

Apple and Eve organics and Quenchers Juice Review

Just like any post that I write that is a review,let me remind you all that I was sent these products free for testing purposes. I got them through Influenster. Apple and Eve Organic Juice has no say in my opinion either. My honest opinion is coming up. 

Apple & Eve and Influenster sent me the flavors of Tart cherry in the Organics.  In the Quenchers boxes I got Berrylicious Lemonade,Fruit punch Blast and Raspberry apple blast.

My daughter tried the lemonade, My son tried the fruit punch and I got to try the Raspberry. We all tried the tart cherry.

Lets inform you of some facts as well:  The Quenchers are only sweetened with fruit. 50% less sugar then leading kids juices.* And it was made to help quench thirst. Organics juice is in a Eco friendly carton and is available in Orange pineapple,Tart Cherry and Natural style Apple

I realize the photos are dull and lifeless for a review post but we are all huge juice drinkers around here. They were gone before I could say "Wait!". Both kids had theirs with their afternoon snack. Mine was right before bed. You are never to old for a juice box!

But lets back track. I opened the box and got really excited. To me appeal matters,its not a huge deal but I get giddy when I like the lettering,or coloring of items. I like the pop they can sometimes offer. I love the look of Apple and Eve products. Well the ones I got. =)

Don't they look great in my fridge!?

When we all tried the Tart cherry,it was a group agreement that it was a unique taste but so good!

I think all the flavors were unique and really fun for the kids. My favorite part was how thirst quenching they were. I felt healthy drinking it as well. Its a moms proud moment to see and learn about a product that her kids can have that won't make you regret buying it.

Bottom line is we really enjoyed Apple &Eve juices.  We would recommend them. I plan on purchasing a bunch for the kids birthday party in April. I can't thank Influenster and Apple & Eve enough for letting us try these! A+ product that makes this Mom,very happy!

Cottonelle Flushable cleansing cloths-Travel size.Review

Thanks to the company of Cottonelle and Crowdtap, I got to receive Cottonelle Flushable cleansing cloths to give my honest opinion about. No one made me say what I am about too. 

So this product is typically something I would not pick up,because being a budget I never gave it a thought about traveling and wipes. But once I saw the opportunity and my mind starting thinking about all the not so lovely bathrooms we end up in and all the last minute issues related to bathrooms, these cloths sounded awesome.

I received the cloths just in time for a trip to our local park. Its a clean park. But the bathrooms don't see a lot of love.

When your toting around 3 kids. Someones going to need the bathroom. The travel packs fit great in my purse. And no I don't have a body sized purse. =D

Bathroom selfie! I of course didn't snap a pic of the cloths in the bathroom because frankly I wanted to get out of there. No toilet paper and just grimy conditions.My daughter and my other half's granddaughter both used the wipes. It was cute when they realized they could flush them.

Perfect for on the go. Summer time is full of picnics,parks,fairs,mud bogs,camping etc. I liked that these gave me an option I didn't have before.

And then you get going on the go so much you need the wipes fro your own bathroom because you are a idiot. Lol. Quick side note though: I love the texture and the fact they don't smell like flowers...I am just not a girly girl. 

Like I said before being a budget made me not think of using a product like this but now that I have, I'm hooked. I loved the size of the cloths,the strength,the scent,the packaging and its a brand I trust. 

Lastly I love that they are flushable and safe for the environment. Yes I took a pic of me about to flush a CLEAN cloth(that I did not waste). I take my reviews seriously people. haha.

5 stars. I will probably continue to buy for summer and not for the rest of the year unless I find a sale or coupons due to being on a budget but that doesn't mean you can't go out and try them and indulge in them all year round.

Again I was in no way paid or pursued to say what I did. My opinions only. Thank you to the companies who let me try these out!
