Soft Scrub 4-in-1 Toilet Care Review & Coupon Giveaway

Disclosure:  The Soft Scrub Company provided me with a sample of the Soft Scrub 4-in-1 Toilet Care in exchange for my review.  All thoughts and opinions are honest and are those of the Shelly's Bits & Pieces family.  No monetary compensation was received!

When it comes to keeping my toilet clean, I am a stickler for a good scent and a great clean!  I want my toilet to smell fresh and I do not want to see any build up.  There is nothing worse than seeing a ring around the toilet.  It is just gross!  This is why I was thrilled when I was given the chance to review the Soft Scrub 4-in-1 Toilet Care.

I love the little cage design because it holds the cleaner in place and it allows the water to flow through to activate it so it can clean and freshen with every flush.  We were pleased with the very pleasant Sapphire Waters scent, as it was fragrant but not overpowering!  My daughter is in charge of cleaning her bathroom and that is where we chose to try out the Soft Scrub 4-in1 Toilet Care.  She was happy with how well it kept her toilet clean and it was not only fighting the toilet ring, but it seemed to be reducing the build up as well.

Olay Regenerist Review and Giveaway

Disclosure:  The Olay Regenerist product, information, and gift pack have been provided by Olay.  All opinions are honest and my own.  As with all products, your experience may be different.  No monetary compensation was received! 

When I was younger, I always had so many wonderful comments about how healthy my skin was and about how young I looked.  I was proud of my skin and I wanted to keep it that way, but I had no idea where to start. Over the years, I tried lots of products and never quite found the one for me.  Recently, I was given the opportunity to try some Olay Regenerist products and I was pleasantly surprised with the results!  

The following about Olay Regenerist was sent to me from the company:

Olay Regenerist offers products that incorporate other anti-aging ingredients such as vitamin E, pro-vitamin B5, green tea extract, allantoin, and glycerin.

• These advanced appearance correcting and anti aging skin care products will help strengthen your skin’s moisture barrier and regenerate skin surface:
• Olay Regenerist Regenerating Cream Cleanser – Speeds natural surface regeneration with oxygenated derma-beads that gently remove dead cells and a creamy formula that regenerates the skin’s surface to detoxify
• NEW Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Eye Cream & Lash Serum Duo – The first eye cream and lash serum product from Olay, which instantly thickens the appearance of lashes, and helps achieve firmer, smoother-looking lids, helps soften the appearance of lines, and can help eyes appear brighter, firmer, and  younger-looking in just one week
• NEW Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream – Two new anti-aging ingredients and the same luxurious feel you’ve come to expect from America’s #1 selling anti-aging moisturizer; penetrates rapidly to deliver anti-aging ingredients 10 layers deep into the skin’s surface

I was able to try two products, Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream and the Micro-Sculpting Eye Cream and Lash Serum Duo. I had never tried any eye product before and I was skeptical about using it, but I was pleasantly surprised!  My eye lashes did appear thicker, and my eyes did look better!  I noticed less puffiness and fewer fine lines around my eyes.  My sister in law loves the Micro-Sculpting Cream, so I was very excited to give it a try.  After using it for about 10 days, I can honestly say that my face looks healthier and I do have a little glow!  The Micro-Sculpting cream did not make my face feel greasy and I did not have any break outs. My face feels softer and looks smoother, which makes me a happy camper!

I did not feel like I saw immediate results, but I was able to see the results within the first week to 10 days.  I was very pleased with that, so I will continue to purchase these Olay Regenerist products, and probably try others!

July Is National Hot Dog Month –

Celebrate America’s Birthday with Hot Dogs and America’s #1 Mustard!

Chester, NJ (June 2013) Did you know that hot dogs and mustard were both introduced in 1904 at the St. Louis Worlds Fair? Ever since that time, hot dogs along with Mustard have been an integral part of America’s family summer celebrations – from ballgames and backyard gatherings to picnics and state fairs. French’s Mustard is and always has been, 100% natural, zero calories and gluten free. French’s is a delicious way to top your hot dog but it also adds a boost of flavor without the fat to all your barbecue favorites.

In honor of America’s birthday and National Hot Dog Month, you can also try these recipes below that offer a twist on the traditional hot dog or visit www.frenchs.com for additional recipes. In the meantime, see how much you and your friends really know about the classic summer refreshment and check out these facts & figures:

Fun Facts about Hot Dogs and Mustard*:

My baby is a Sophomore!

The past three weeks have been beyond hectic. Kat was placed on home bound for the remainder of the school year which meant she would take her exams at home. The only problem we really had was that they failed to send an instructor over for the first 2 weeks. She was sent a 25 page review for advanced world history as well as a 25 page review for geometry that needed to be completed and turned in. The World History consisted of about 125-150 words or phrases she needed to define or compare. The problem was that about half of them were NOT in the history book they had. All the worksheets and information refer to a totally different book. UGH!

Kat took the geometry MSL (state test) after having one session with the instructor, and the history one after 2 sessions. We are both very happy to have all that behind us! Now we can get down to summer and relaxation...and hopefully she will continue to get better. She is thrilled that she will be starting drivers ed again next week!! Since she is back to normal, that means I should get that way! Thanks for bearing with us! I look forward to chatting with everyone and posting again...daily!
