My Thoughts
I have loved Aveeno products for years, One of the reasons being that I think Jennifer Aniston is just a lovely lady. She has such style and panache and handles' herself with grace. So any company classy enough to choose Jennifer for a spokeswoman peaks me interest. But Aveeno is able to maintain that interest on its own merits. The daily moisturizing sheer hydration lotion is just what it says. You can feel how sheer it is when its going on and once its on then you don't feel it on you skin at all but you can tell its there because your skin feels so soft and silky. And its odor free so you don't have to worry about it clashing with your perfume or bothering your sinuses.

My oldest daughter burns very easily so we always buy sunscreen with a high SPF. We have used Aveeno lotion sunscreen for a while now because it is SPF 30,  it doesn't bother her sensitive skin and she doesn't get burned wearing it.  She can wear it when we go to the lake and not have to worry that its washed off as soon as she gets in the water. And as a bonus, it also hydrates her skin leaving her skin soft to the touch. We all use this lotion since it works so well for her.


I'm a member of the Crowdtap Aveeno rewards program and Aveeno sent me a sample of Sheer Hydration Daily Moisturizing Lotion and Protect + Hydrate Sunscreen to review.

Brookside Dark Chocolate Crunchy Clusters Review

Smooth dark chocolate, multi-grain clusters and alluring, fruit flavors create an enticingly delicious taste experience. Its unexpected crunch and texture like you've never experienced before. Eat it on the go, at home, during work, share it with friends #DiscoverBrookside.

I was sent a sample of Brookside Dark Chocolate Crunchy Clusters (Berry Medley flavors). I have seen the commercials on tv for the various Brookside flavors but wasn't ever sure how I would like them because of the fruit flavors so I hadn't bought any.  OMG, I looooooooved these chocolate crunches. I love the little crunchies in them and the fruit and the dark chocolate. I had to force myself to stop eating them. They are so rich and flavorful that just a few pieces stops the chocolate craving but they were so good, I just wanted to keep eating the pieces.  I have so got to buy some more of these.

Well winter has hit the US with a huge blast of snow and cold air. Cold and flu season are upon us. Naturally I already have a cold. I am trying to keep it just as a cold so using all means available. Thankfully, I got a free bag of Ricola Reviatlizing Herb Drops from #swissherbs and #crowdtappers to try out. Some of you may recall that last winter I got sick the first week of November and was sick until May. I can't tell you how many drs I saw or drugs they gave me. 

I loved the lemony zip of these. If you don't like lemon meringue pie than you won't like these but who doesn't love lemon pie? When you get to the center there is a suprise powder inside.  The fizzing reminds me a candy I use to eat as a child. I like that these taste so good because I have had some throat drops that burned my mouth or tasted so nasty that the cold was preferable. I have a cold and I really can tell that I am not as tired feeling as I usually am with a cold. They really helped my sore throat a lot. It was hard to share them as they taste so good but I was nice and shared with a few friends :). I loved these and will buy them to have on hand for sore throats and colds. 

and if you want to try to win a bag, Ricola is having a little contest on their page.

Zep Cleaning Samples #ZepCleansters

Are you ready to clean like a pro with Zep? It's time to fight germs and messes this flu season with two of Zep's newest cleaning secret weapons, Zep Quick Clean Disinfectant AND the Zep All-Around Oxy Cleaner and Degreaser.

It is cold and flu season here in southern WV and I have a cold. Perfect time to try out the Zep Quick Clean Disinfectant so that everyone in the house doesn't get sick. I hate when the babies are sick. I cleaned doors, phone, and everything touchable with the disinfectant. I use the All around oxy cleaner and degreaser to clean the kitchen. Check out how shiny my sink is now.Its shinier than this picture looks. The puppies chewed up my camera usb cord so I had to use my cheap cell phone to take pics and its not the greatest. Thankfully my camera cord has shipped and I can get back to picture taking again soon.
