Neutreogena Triple Moisture cream lather shampoo

I bought this product a while back, when it was FAR at Rite Aid, and it's just been sitting in my linen closet, waiting to be the "chosen one" and moved to the shower area. Well, let me tell you, I've found a new favorite shampoo! I love the way it smells, the way it lathers so nicely, and that it doesn't leave my hair feeling heavy like some other shampoos do.

According to the website, this shampoo is made of 3 natural ingredients: olive, which penetrates to the center, meadowfoam seed that moisturizes the middle, and sweet almond covers the surface. It's "salon approved" and available in shampoo, conditioner, leave in cream, shine serum & hair mask.

FreshDeals--price comparison website

If you do any amount of shopping online, you have got to check out this new website I came across the other day! It's called FreshDeals and allows you to search for anything (from computers to clothing to beauty items) you are shopping online for in order to find the best deal.

For example, if you check out my recent post about the AllerEase allergy pillow case cover I won, you can go to FreshDeals to find the cheapest place to purchase more, which is just what I did after only a few days of using the one I won. There's a place where you can look at questions others have asked about the particular product you're searching for, even adding your own response should you so choose. Not only can you search by product name, but also by price range.

Now that I am aware of this great website, you can bet that I'll be using it whenever I shop online, especially since the Christmas shopping season is coming up so fast! Check it out for yourself, it's bound to save you some money!

Product Review: AllerEase pillow protector

I recently won a $25 gift card & a standard size AllerEase pillow protector from a local radio station. I couldn't wait to get it home to try it out since we all suffer from allergies...I just had to decide who got to try it out. I ultimately decided on my daughter, since she seems to suffer the most from allergies while sleeping.



Did you know that the average bed contains 10 million dust mites, and the average pillow increases 10% in weight every 2 years due to dust mite feces alone? Ewwww! Asthma sufferers who are sensitive to allergens can benefit from limiting exposure to common household allergens, which the AllerEase line of products assits with.



The AllerEase pillowcase zippers around your pillow, so you don't have to worry about it coming off during the night. It's made of breathable material, which provides maxium allergen filtration while allowing air to move through the fabric, which means no sweating due to sleeping on a hot pillow, and no worries of your face sticking to a plastic covered pillow.



The AllerEase pillowcase acts as a barrier to microscopic particles, cat & dog dander, and fungal & mold spores, all of which can act as allergy triggers. It has the Good Houseleeping seal of approval and is also recommended by allergists.

After only a few days of using the pillow cover, I can already tell a difference in Caroline's sleeping & breathing. She's not so restless, and not as sweaty as she was before. As for her breathing, it doesn't seem so loud when I go in to check on her, which I can only attribute to the allergens in her pillow no longer agravating her while sleeping. Thank you, AllerEase!

Product Review: Resolve Triple Action

If you have kids like me, then you’re sure to have clothes with stains on them like I used to. I say used to not because my kids have outgrown the spill stage (do they ever?!), but because I have found a product that works wonders in removing stains from clothes.

Resolve Triple Action stain remover is designed to lift stains from fabric, even after they’ve set in. We’ve used it on our carpet for pet stains, and also on clothes. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve washed one of my daughter’s shirts that has a stain around the collar, thrown it in the dryer, and then end up throwing it away after it’s dry because the stain is still there, and I knew there was nothing that was going to get it out after going through a cycle in the dryer. Those days are gone now.

The first time I used Resolve Triple Action, I must admit, I was pleasantly surprised when I put some on a fresh stain, before it was ever washed. After being washed just once, on a regular setting, and with other clothes, it was like the stain never even existed. Well, I thought I’d put it to the test to see how it worked on set in stains, so I grabbed a different shirt with a stain that had previously been treated, washed and dried, but didn’t remove the stain. Amazingly, after being treated with Resolve Triple Action stain remover and 1 regular cycle wash with other clothes, the stain was completely gone! I couldn’t have been more surprised.

If you’re looking for a stain remover that’s tough on stains but without ruining your clothes, carpet or fabric, then I suggest you try Resolve Triple Action stain remover. You’ll never spend money on another stain remover again! Don't be afraid, go ahead, try it for yourself. There is a $1 manuf coupon out there and this satisfaction guarantee, which I doubt you'll have to use.

Aquafina lip balm product review

Let me start off by saying that I have NOT been compensated in any way for posting this product review. I decided to post it simply because I LOVE this product! However, if someone from the manufacturer sees my post & decides to send me something, I certainly wouldn't refuse it ;-)

So we all (or most of us I assume) know that Aquafina makes bottled water. This is my preferred brand of bottled water actually, but that's not what this post is about. Little did I know until about a month ago that Aquafina also has skin care products, bath & body products and lip products.

I was in the check out line at Dollar General, when I saw the lip balm there by the register. I am a self proclaimed lip balm addict. I'm generally a chapstick girl, but have been known to "stray" for another brand (Carmex, Lypsyl, Blistex, etc--and usually only if I have a coupon or it's free). I figured for a dollar, I wouldn't be out much if I didn't like it, so I added it to my pile of things to buy.

I carried it around in my purse for about 2 weeks until finally deciding that I was going to open & use it. Was I surprised! At first, I wasn't sure if I liked it...it was a little minty for my liking, but then again, I kinda liked the tingly feeling it left on my lips, and it smelled so sweet. The square shape is neat too, because it keeps it from rolling away like most other brands of lip balm do. Ingredients include: jojoba oil, almond oil and vitamin E.

Now I can't wait to go out and buy more, in several different "flavors" if they make them like that. According to the Aquafina website, the lip oils come in flavors, but I'm not clear on whether or not the balms do too. I highly suggest that if you should see this item in your travels, pick it up & try it for yourself. You will be pleasantly surprised.
