Palmolive Fresh Infusions Dish Soap

Let me start by saying that i got these bottles of dish soap free from Influenster. If you do not know what influesnter is, check out my previous blog talking about their website make over, Then go check them out at http://www.influenster.com

So who likes doing the dishes....? yea.. that's what i thought, no one.. But when it makes your house smell this great, and cleans your dishes this well, the first time, doing the dishes will not be a a dreaded and hated chore, you will want to do them!

I am very excited about this dish soap! They smell heavenly, the scent is strong and fills your kitchen with this amazing smell! They are offered in scents that sound so fancy and amazing! Ginger White Tea, Lime Basil, and Lemon Thyme. Doesn't that just sound great!
The bottles are so thin, tall. and beautiful that you would never want to keep them in a cupboard or under the sink. I leave mine right on the sink next to the faucet, and they look great!

Now that we have talked about the scent and how cute they look in my kitchen, lets talk about how they work!

Perfectly!

This dish soap worked like a dream! it got all the dishes so clean the first time. There was no re washing of anything. It cleaned pots and pans with hardly any scrubbing at all. And lets be honest, i don't wash my dishes right after dinner... I'm a mother of two young children, I do the dishes either after they go to bed, or most of the time the next day, or even the day after that! so the food has plenty of time to stick on and cause a problem. But the new Palmolive dish soap cut right through any stuck on mess I threw at it.
Now here is a hard test. Like most people,my family loves fried foods, like deep fried onion rings and home made fries, and we use our own deep fryer. Every time we wash the deep fryer basket, it always always feels a little smiley and still greasy, no matter how many times we wash it, even if we soak it. It still has that layer of film on it that I just was part life with a deep fryer. Well i washed the basket with this dish soap, not even giving it another though about it. When I went to go put it away, it was so clean! It felt and looked brand new!! I was so excited! It was at that moment, i knew this was not just another dish soap, it was something special. 

A great bonus, it leaves your hands so smooth and so soft, you would think you just had a manicure and hand treatment! 

So is there anything wrong with this dish soap? Not that i can find! It sells for a little under 3$ for a 16 oz bottle. It is  concentrated dish soap, so i little goes a long way. This is a great dish soap for anyone to try, and once you try it, you'll love it! The only problem will be choosing which scent to try first :) I say get them all, you cant go wrong with any of them.

Have a fabulous day :) 

Influenster and their Relaunch

So in case you have not herd of influesnter, it is a fabulous company that offers products for people to try, use, review and spread the word. You sign up and complete these surveys about your lifestyle and what you are interested in, like make-up, cooking and kids, and they will save your answers to those surveys  and when they form a box that has products in it that they think you will enjoy and be able to give a great review on, they might choose you to receive a box for free, you pay nothing ever ever ever. But just because you like make up, and you unlocked the beauty badge, that doesn't mean that you will be qualified for Beauty VoxBox, there are hundreds of people who will be interested in that box.
There are many things you can do to increase your changes of being chosen. They want to know how well your opinion on the products will be heard, if you have a lot of followers Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and all those other pages where you will be voicing your opinion, that will increase your chances of being picked too. They want people who will help spread good publicity for the companies.
When you revive the box there are mandatory requirements you must participate in to give your feed back. There are also fun challenges that if you complete it increases your chances to win more products :) and who doesn't LOVE that :)

Recently they have completely revamped their entire website and added a whole bunch of new stuff!!

Now i have been meaning to write this for a little while, since the Influenster website had been completely revised and changed. It is a whole new world over there.
I'm not going to lie, at first it seemed very complicated and i wasn't sure that i was going to continue with them. I thought i was going to have to redo everything i had previously done before. but that its not the case at all, and once i had a chance to browse through the site, i noticed it is not a whole bunch of work, its fun. It is filled with fun new little tasks that you can do to get more chances to get VoxBoxes and up your statuses. Great new challenges to unlock brand new badges.
I was happy with the old set up, but at the end i was worried i had unlocked all the badges i was going to be able to unlock... i thought i had peaked and that i was stuck where i was and wasn't going to be able to get any more badges. But with this new set up, there is so much to do, i think it will take me a very long time to find all the badges and challenges and to complete them.

I have to say, the Relaunch of Influesnter has refreshed my interested in getting involved. I cant wait to get on and do more challenges... in fact, I'm going to go do that right now!
I urge you to go check it out at http://www.influenster.com/ and see what boxes you can qualify for!

Nivea: A Kiss of Mint and Minerals

      I have always loved Nivea lip products, they go on so smooth and so soft and leave your lips feeling great. So when i got a coupon sent to me from the company to try any new lip product for free i was very excited! So i went to the store that very day and looked at each one and searched for the very best one. So when i saw one that was labeled Mint and Minerals i got very excited because i am on a recent mint kick, i absolutely love it and can not get enough. So the mint really got me excited, so that is the one i chose.   

       So i couldn't even make it out to the car with out ripping it open and putting it on. It is a very cool fresh feeling on your lips. It feels very healthy on your lips, it smells great and its great for them!
     I have been using it for a few days now, and my lips feel soft and great! I recommend this for anyone who likes cool minty fresh lip care! 

Home Made Moon Sand!!

.::   (: a goofy picture of my oldest son, but i wanted you to see the moon sand :)   ::.

Moon Sand!!

This summer Dominick and i made moon sand! It was so fun and so incredibly easy!!
The recipe i found called for 1 cup of baby oil, and 8 cups of flour.
Well with only child playing with it, and we were not sure on how it was going to come out, we decided to cut it in half, so we did 1/2 cup of baby oil and 4 cups of flour.
Now again, we were not sure of how this was going to come out, so we didn't add any color in to this one with time, but i would like to make a batch in each color now!!
So next time we will add a few drops of food coloring into the oil before we mix it in to the flour!

I cant wait to see all the colors mixed on the table in a big ol' rain bow! :)
What a beautiful mess that would be,
but that's OK, messes are always welcome, they are just part of my life :)

Wow. The life of a mother and blogger is busy...

Yikes! I have been so busy lately .. every time i try and blog something crazy happens and i never get it finished  or i get so busy i never even really get it started...
But i have been getting lots of stuff to try out and i have bunch of things to review and write my opinions about and i hope to have them all up very soon.

Well i just wanted to say that i haven't forgotten about this at all! Life is just crazy, i still have so much to say, its just all in my head, now i just need to get my fingers running on the key board and typing them all out.
