SURE FRESH & COOL

I learned about a deodorant called Sure Fresh & Cool from Influenster. They were giving away free samples in the boxes of a few lucky influensters. I was not one of the lucky ones. I was very interested in trying the deodorant so I headed to Walmart to buy some for myself.
I used it immediately after showering and I did indeed feel fresh and cool. I went through workouts and my daily routine. This deodorant did not let me down, it kept on working. I have never tried this brand before because of it's low price I was convinced it wasn't very good but I was very wrong about that. I'm glad I found out about this through Influenster.
I recommend that you apply it on clean, dry skin and enjoy the freshness. Try it for yourself, take a photo and post it everywhere to let people know that you are SURE. My tip is just because this is cheaper doesn't mean it is not as good as the more higher priced deodorants. "Thanks, Influenster!"

Magnus - Long Handled Double Edge Safety Razor

This razor comes in a standard thin cardboard box along with two sharp super thin razor blades wrapped in paper. The razor is not wrapped with anything to protect it and blades were loose in the box. The paper was not completely sealed on one of the blades exposing the sharp edge. That could be a very bad situation if someone just dumps the contents of the box out into their hand not realizing the blades are loose like that. So I think the packaging could use some attention when it is storing something with the potential to cause harm. 

My husband has always used safety razors so he is experienced in how to properly use them without cutting himself or nicking his face. This probably wouldn't be great for someone who was new to using this type of razor because it doesn't include any type of instructions or information with it. 

This has a very beautiful shiny chrome finish with a nice long handle. 

The handle has a textured cut so it give you a great grip on the razor when your hands are wet. The razor is nicely weighted. It perfectly balanced on my finger without tipping to either side so it isn't top heavy like some other safety razors can be. My husband didn't use the blades that comes with it because he didn't like the way they lined up on the head so he used the blades he normally uses. He said it gave a great shave and left his face so smooth.
This is offered at a great price and very nice looking so it would make a great gift.

#terrafriendlytravelpillow

Terra Friendly Travel Pillow and Pillowcase

 

I love this self inflating pillow. You just simply take out the pillow and open up the small black air valve. It will automatically start to inflate on it's own. I did blow into it the first time I used it because I wanted to sort of fluff up the materials inside from being compacted during the whole manufacturing, storing and shipping process. Afterwards, the pillow inflated perfectly without my assistance. 

The set comes with the pillow, an elastic band, a flannel pillowcase and a storage bag. It only weighs about 9 ounces and takes up the same amount of space as roll of toilet tissue does so it is very easy to pack into our camping supplies.

 The air value simply twists open to let the air in and then tighten it when you are satisfied with the level of inflation you prefer. If you would like the pillow to be super firm, you can also simply blow into the value to inflate. 

I make sure to open the valve and roll my pillow to squeeze out the air. I close the valve while the pillow is tightly rolled up. I will then unroll the pillow, fold it in half lengthwise and roll it up again so that it will fit back into the storage bag. The is a black elastic band that slips over the pillow to keep it tightly rolled. The pillowcase stores inside the drawstring bad along with the pillow.

  This pillowcase is very soft and I just love the plaid pattern on the pillow choice I picked. They also have this pillow in blue and they have different choices for the pillowcase pattern and colors.

 It is suggested to put the pillow into the case with the valve at the pillowcase opening so that you will be able to adjust the air pressure without having to remove the pillow completely from the case.

 The front  of this pillow is this terrific canary yellow color and it is branded with the Terra Friendly logo on it.

The backside has a nice grey small stripe pattern design.

This is quickly becoming our favorite travel pillow.

#GlytteratiRings

 Glytterati Men's Wedding Band in Titanium

 This ring comes in a nice black leatherette box. The ring is a little too wide to fit in the slot in the ring box but it is still nice to have the box to keep the ring in. 

The ring is two tone with a gold color on the outer edges and a silvery grey color on the center band. 

The ring is made from a quality titanium and is guaranteed to be scratchproof. 

My husband doesn't usually wear a  ring everyday because he works with his hands. He does like to wear a ring when we go somewhere and this ring is perfect. It looks just as nice if he is wearing jeans as it does if he is wearing a suit and tie. I didn't expect that it would look this good for a ring at this price. It fit him very well and he said it was comfortable to wear. He has gotten a few compliments on it from some of the men at church. This is a attractive ring and we are very happy with it.

#liveinfinitely

Forever Flex Exercise Ball

This ball comes with a easy to use hand pump which you don't always get with other exercise balls. It also comes with 2 plugs, a plug removal tool and an information sheet on how to inflate the ball. It also tells you how to use and care for the ball along with the instructions on downloading the exercise & yoga guides and the full workout plans from the website. I was sent this item as a complimentary sample for the purpose of testing and providing my true opinion on how it performed for me.
I love that this ball comes complete with everything you need to get started with it.  This ball is the perfect size for me because I am short and I also use it with my three year old to practice her stretching exercises for tumbling classes so the 55cm works great for us. It is very thick and super strong PVC. I'm impressed with the quality and you can tell that it is very well made. I like to use the ball to sit on while I'm at my desk and while I'm using my iPad or watching TV.  I enjoy trying the different workouts and really love using this exercise ball.

#Ragu4You

 "Sneaky Vegetable Pasta"

If you are like me, you struggle with getting the kids (and sometimes, the hubby) to eat their vegetables. This is a dish I make quite often and the family loves it. I love that they are eating tons of vegetables and don't even realize it. The beauty of this dish is that there is no set recipe. You use whatever you have on hand or experiment by using different vegetables. 

I usually steam a bunch of different kinds of vegetables and then blend them in my Blendtec to make a puree. I will freeze them in silicone ice trays and pop a few out to cook. I try to add veggie puree cubes to almost all my meals for an extra boost of vegetables.

I simple mix a few puree cubes to a jar of Ragu Sauce because it is our favorite jarred sauce and heat. You can add in your favorite cooked meats and pastas. That's it. You have a quick and simple meal that is packed with vegetables. The kids will love it!

Annie's

Annie's Homegrown Tomato Soup

 17 Ounce

I don't usually like to eat just plain tomato soup but I do like to use it as the base for my homemade turkey vegetable soup. I put this soup, some browned ground turkey and a variety of our favorite veggies into the pressure cooked. It was delicious and not bitter like some prepackaged tomato soups can be. I will also mix it with a puree of vegetables, add in cooked pasta and ground turkey. She loves it that way and it is also a sneaky way to get my toddler to eat vegetables she doesn't like to eat whole. I received a complimentary sample of Annie's organic tomato soup to test and provide my own true opinion and thoughts about it.

#cottenelle

Cottonelle

I absolutely hate when my toilet tissue will shred and fall apart leaving bits behind while using it or feel rough against my skin. With Cottonelle Clean Care toilet tissue, that is a not an issue anymore. With the double rolls you also don't need to use as much. This toilet tissue also has soft ridges that helps to really get you as clean as possible. Since I have started using Cottonelle toilet paper, I cannot get used to using regular toilet paper anymore. Everything feels rough in comparison. Next time you are toilet paper shopping, give Cottonelle Clean Care rolls a try. I'll bet that you will never go back to regular toilet paper again.

#BestExtremeFatBurner

Best Extreme Fat Burner Pills for Women

The label is not printed directly onto this bottle and while I was trying to open it, the label almost tore off. This could be a bad thing if the label comes off and you don't remember what it is, how much to take or you don't have access to some of the important information from the label. It could also be a good thing because you could remove the label so no one knows you are taking a fat burner. I took mine off and wrote the contents of the bottle on the inside of the cap with a sharpie pen.
When this bottle is first opened it has a very strong smell so I thought the pills would taste bad but they really didn't have a taste at all. I didn't experience any unpleasant side effects like headaches, jittery feelings, upset stomach or any of the many others that can often occur with fat burner pills.
This bottle has 60 capsules and the dosage is 4 capsules per day which amount to this being a 15 day supply. This can get quite expensive if you have to keep taking these. During the 15 days, I only lost 3 pounds and that could have possibly just simply been water weight because I was drinking the four extra 8 ounce glasses of water while taking the 4 capsules per day so that also meant extra trips to the restroom.
A three pound weight loss in 2 weeks is three pounds lost so it was still a success for me. I probably will not continue to take these capsules because, in my opinion, the small amount of weight I lost wouldn't justify what the cost of these would be for a month's supply.
I was able to purchase this item at a price reduction for the purpose of testing and providing my true opinion on how it performed for me.  

#protector

IPhone 6 Tempered Glass Screen Protector 0.2mm

This is listed as shatterproof (misspelled as shotterproof) on the label. The screen protector broke while I was trying to remove the film to install it on my phone. I did not use excessive force just simply pulled the installation sticker and the screen shattered. Contacted seller with no response back.

#BridgerSupply

Bridger Supply Outdoor Fanny Pack

I love that I can put so much stuff in this Fanny Pack. There is a small zippered pocket where the logo is and another zippered pocket right behind it. There is a large center compartment with yet another zippered pocket inside of it. There are also water bottle holders on each side of the pack with adjustable straps so you can customize it to fit a variety of bottle sizes. I was able to purchase this item at a price reduction for the purpose of testing and providing my true opinion on how it performed for me.  
I really like that it has a carrying handle on top and an open compartment on the back to tuck the straps into so that I can also just tote it as a small bag if I don't want to wear it or I can use the included shoulder strap to carry it over my shoulder. I love the fact that this fanny pack is machine washable so it is very easy to clean if it gets dirty and it is also water resistant so I don't have to worry about my phone or camera if it starts to rain while we are out. This really holds a lot to be such a small waist bag.

#Ehauer

Slim Metal Credit Card Holder by EHAUER

My husband prefers to use this type of metal wallet to hold his cards since he rarely carries very much cash anymore. This is perfect for him because it is slim and he can put it in his front pocket so that he is not always having to pull out his wallet before he can sit down. It has slots for 6 cards which is plenty enough for him. I was sent one of these wallets as a complimentary sample for the purpose of testing and providing my true opinion on how it performed for me.

This case is sleek and stylish. It looks very professional so my husband is not embarrassed to pull it out in front of his clients. The price is nice as well. We have purchased some other brands at this price only to find out they were plastic, they fell apart easily and they didn't have RFID protection. I like that it comes in a nice box so it can be easily gifted nicely presented in the original packaging. We plan to order some to give as gifts during the holidays.
