L’Oreal Paris Advanced Haircare Extraordinary Oil Transforming Oil-in-Cream Treatment

I though the shampoo, conditioner and oil in cream worked really well but I did not like the scent of these products. My hair felt really nice and smooth and this really helped to contain the frizziness in my hair. Because the scent was too overpowering for me, I do not see myself using this product anymore.

Silk Nutchello

I got to try the Silk Nutchello!TM  This was trough Crowdtap offered by Silk.

I chose the Silk Dark Chocolate + Walnut flavor. Up until now, I have only tried Silk's soy milk and Almond milk. I was very excited to try the NutchelloTM . It is dairy free, soy, lactose, gluten, casein and carrageenan free. All good reasons to try this product, especially since I have a problem with dairy products. There are no artificial colors or flavors in this product either. I have been really trying to change my eating/drinking habits to include more products like this in my life. I was looking for something to add to my morning ritual. I typically drank an iced coffee that was full of calories and not to mention lots of added preservatives and things that I probably couldn't pronounce. I thought I would have to give it up, but now Silk NutchelloTM  came around!! I am so glad to have found this product!

This taste really good, it is creamy and smooth. If you drink it straight up it is a little sweet. (You might want to watch your serving size and not have a huge glass if you are like me and do not like things too sweet, otherwise cut it with a shot of coffee, it makes a great iced coffee drink!)

This is has so much less sugar and calories in it then my usual glass of iced beverage. It is really good and I'm interested to see what the other flavors taste like too.  I have to say I am a huge fan of this product and will be buying more!

This comes in a really big bottle, great value.

A shot of coffee for some Iced Nutchello.

Healthy Baby Home Party #comeclean

I was chosen to host a Healthy Baby Home Party from Seventh Generation. This was a great opportuniny to share samples and product with my friends. We got lots of information sent to us in the package for me to host this party. There was 12 bags for me to fill up with samples and coupons and information for my guest to get more aquainted with the products and the importance of making better choices for the environment. Everyone loved the cute bags, there were lots of compliments on those.  The only thing that I did not like was that there were not enough samples of the Zarbees cough syrup for everyone. I didn't know how do give those too so only certain bags had the samples in it. Other than that the guest were really excited, most knew about Seventh Generation already and loved the products but had not used the baby products like the diapers and wipes. We did have a few ladies who were new and new nothing about Seventh Generation so it was nice to be able to share our knowlege and experience with them.  They all wanted to know how they could get in on "THE ACTION." They will be coming to sign up for their own great offers now.  This was a great experience and I'm really glad that I was chosen to be part of this! Thank you for choosing me!

All of the goodie bags made up.

These are the products that we got to check out.

International Delight® Simply Pure® Coffee Creamer

This was another offer through BzzAgent
The International Delight® Simply Pure® Coffee Creamers in Carmel flavored. I want to start by saying that I really like that they made a product that is made with real ingredients: milk, cream and sugar. I like this. No chemical ingredients or fake stuff in this product.  (WAY TO GO FOR GETTING THERE with with your products!)
I first tried this straight out of the bottle and it  tasted really good. I could really see myself using it in for many things, not just in coffee.  I tried this with my morning cup of hot coffee and it worked really well. It blended nicely and made my coffee taste nice and creamy. I love the way this carmel creamer tasted. I have been drinking it every day since I received this since it is so good and I do not want to let it go to waste and you have to use it up pretty quickly after opening it since it does not have all of the artificial ingredients in it to preserve it. (unlike other creamers that have a longer shelf life, but this is ok, because it is better for me.)
 I think this would make a really good iced coffee as well.

Tide Purclean™

I was very excited to have the opportunity to test the New Tide purclean™ detergent. This was an offer that Tide was doing through Crowdtap.

The fact that this product is free of dyes, chlorine, phosphates and optical brighteners is a huge plus for this brand.
I am so happy to see more brands going this direction.
This is the first bio-based detergent that cleans well in energy-saving cold water. How great is this, no more having to use warm or hot water to do the laundry! This is a money saver alone!

I have a family that has sensitivity issues when it comes to detergents so I have to be very careful with what I use. Most detergents cause someone in my household to break out in a rash and have a reaction to the ingredients that are typically found in these products.
I am super excited to say that Tide purclean™ detergent stood up to my family's test of the sensitivity issue. This is gentle enough and made with ingredients that were safe for my family's sensitive skin. I also found that this was nice and mildly scented. This is another issue that I have to look for when I shop for Laundry detergent. If a detergent is too heavily scented, I will have issues with migraines.

I did find that it did not knock out tough stains (even though I did pretreat them prior to washing). Overall I did find that this was an effective detergent and much better for my family's needs than the traditional Tide. I like that this is a natural detergent that is made with renewable wind power electricity and is made at a site that sends zero manufacturing waste to a landfill. We sure all need to do our part to help the environment and when big companies step up, this is huge.
I would definitely say that I'm a Tide customer again.
