Prefense Foaming Hand Sanitizer – Review and Giveaway

 Giveaway, Reviews
Oct 012011
 
Sponsored by Tomoson.com


When I heard I was selected to review this product…I was all to excited as it couldn’t have happened at a better time. Prefense Foaming Hand Sanitizer has won me over and my 13 yr. old daughter too!

You see, school started back up about a month ago, and my daughter has another teacher this year who insists on all the kids using a hand sanitizer as they walk through her classroom door.  The problem with this – the back of my daughter’s hands become so red raw from using these sanitizers.  I told my daughter to ask this teacher if she could use the Prefense. The teacher told her it was okay, and after using the Prefense for the past three weeks, my daughter’s hands are still free from being red raw; unlike other hand sanitizers, which leave her skin red raw in a week or so.  I feel it’s safe to assume the alcohol in the other sanitizers (up to 62%) were the cause of the red raw hands.

Let’s look at what Prefense is all about:

  • No alcohol!  Prefense is made of all-natural ingredients and is 100% alcohol free!  The active ingredient is amosilq silica complex
  • Protects you for 24 hours or up to 10 hand washings!  The active ingredient bonds to your skin!
  • Prefense is non-toxic and safe for kids!  It will not hurt you if swallowed!
  • Prefense is silica based, which means it doesn’t dry out your hands like traditional alcohol sanitizers; rather, it moisturizes your skin
  • Prefense protects against staph, strep, E.coli, drug resistant MRSA strains, and more   
  • Because “one spray lasts all day” a 1.5 oz Prefense Foaming Hand Sanitizer offers 120 applications, costing only $.08 per day, compared to $1.20 per day with alcohol hand sanitizers.

I don’t think one could ask for much more.  Now if you aren’t aware – E.coli is all around us and in us –  we harbor it in our urine.  Staph infection doesn’t have to come from the hospital.  MRSA – very contagious no matter what strain and some are harder to treat than others!  And strep – contagious and can make one very ill – causing death in some individuals. These are just a few of the illnesses Prefense will protect against. Just think of how many more their are such as H1N1.  Oh…and let’s not forget, most people do not wash their hands for the recommended length of time needed to get rid of all the germs that make one sick…at least you’ll be protected if you use Prefense.

Where to Buy:
One can purchase Prefense products directly on the  Prefense website at a great price compared to other retailers.  Alternatively, you can purchase Prefense on Amazon (a good option if you use Amazon Prime or you are able to take advantage of the free super-saver shipping).  You can find Prefense on  Facebook and Twitter.

But Wait!  Don’t Buy Yet…Here’s a chance to WIN a bottle!
One winner will receive an 8oz. bottle worth 640 applications!  Very cool…eh?

The Peaceful Housewife Natural Cleaning Products e-book Review

 ebook, Reviews
Sep 192011
 
I love natural cleaning products – vinegar being my absolute favorite.  So when I had the opportunity to review “The Peaceful Housewife Natural Cleaning Products e-book,” I jumped at the chance.  The Peaceful Housewife offers 30 recipes for making natural cleaning cleaners and natural pest sprays.  All the items she speaks of in her recipes are easy to find, cost effective, products that are ‘totally green.’

You will learn from her ebook how to make:
  • Powdered Laundry Detergent
  • Fabric Softener
  • Gel Stain Treatment
  • Spray Stain Treatment
  • Foaming Dish or Hand Soap
  • Dishwasher Detergent
  • Carpet cleaner, and even
  • Wet Mop Refills (the ones with the containers that squirt the solution out)
  • Furniture Polish (if you don’t know how bad traditional store bought polishes are for your body, you need to read this article)
This is only a partial list of the recipes that you’ll find in her ebook. Many of the recipes she provides have many alternative recipes.  This is nice feature, as you are able to tailor the cleaner to your liking. One thing The Peaceful Housewife uses in her cleaners are essential oils. I would have never thought of using those. I have tried several of her recipes though – with complete success; however, I did leave out the oils for the mere fact that I was afraid they would aggravate my son’s allergies and then put him into as asthma attack.  Again – the recipes are tailorable, so no big deal.

Skillet Bacon Jam Review

 Food & Drink, Reviews
Aug 052011
 
Bacon Lovers…you might just really like Skillet Bacon Jam – the product I was recently given the opportunity to try.  This jam has the consistency of a jam spread, with little chunks of bacon throughout, mingled with several spices.   To be more specific: “We make this bacon spread condiment called bacon jam. You say what? That’s right, we use Niman ranch bacon and render it down along with onions, balsamic and other spices.  It cooks for several hours until it is a perfect blend of smoky, tangy, savory and slightly sweet…basically, spreadable, bacony goodness!  The product is USDA approved and a signature product of Seattle’s Chef Josh Henderson.

First I tried the jam on a spoon and thought I wasn’t going to like the jam.  I could really taste the vinegar,  which I am not fond of. However out of all fairness, I decided I should try the jam the way it was to be intended, as a spread.  I went to town making English muffins as the base for the dropped eggs on toast we were having for dinner.  I then spread the Skillet Bacon Jam on the English muffin followed by the eggs.  This made a world of difference.  I could taste the spices and the bacon pieces with each bite I took.  The bacon pieces were a nice addition to ordinary dropped eggs.  Their website has many recipes giving you ideas on how to use the spread.  A recipe I want to try is the Bacon Jam Stuffed Potato Skins.For more information on the Skillet Bacon Jam, go to www.skilletstreetfood.com

Regeneration USA’s 100% Organic Anti-Aging Skin Regenerator

 Beauty, Special
Aug 042011
 

The thoughts of making my skin look younger appeals to me since I am getting up there in age.  Therefore, when I had the chance to try Regeneration USA’s Anti-Aging Skin Regenerator – 100% Organic Skin Regenerator, I jumped at the chance.  The fact this regenerator is 100% organic is a super plus, as I am convinced that all the chemicals going in, and on our bodies, are killing us.
About the Product:
Regeneration USA’s 100% Organic Anti-Aging Skin Regenerator contains Fulvic Ionic Minerals that deliver complex nutrients for healthy looking skin.  These minerals are complex plant derived micronutrients that date back 359 million years ago during the Carboniferous period when the Earth was thriving with plant life.

This natural Skin Regenerator is designed to penetrate the skin leaving it feeling smoother, firmer and diminish wrinkles.

Other benefits include:
Contains essential anti-aging amino acids
Regenerates & Revitalizes skin cells
Naturally smoothens wrinkles
Promotes healthy smooth & glowing skin                
Replenishes the skins lost minerals
Relives Mosquito Bites
Skin detoxifier
Aids in skin rashes healing faster
Relieves skin irritations & Sun Burn
Reduces the effects of aging
Relieves athletes foot & psoriasis

I found this Skin Regenerator to be lightweight, odorless, and fast absorbing.  I sprayed it on my arms and legs.  Then using my hand, I evened out the coat.  To apply to my face, I sprayed it onto my hand and then applied it.  I liked the way it left my skin feeling…no stickiness and no heavy feeling.  After applying, I noticed my tan went from dull to vibrant and I felt it reduced the very fine lines that have begun appearing throughout my skin.

I was also able to try it out on Mosquito bites.  My daughter had been eaten alive by mosquitoes when we went horn pouting.  Why her I don’t know as I was left alone – guess she’s better tasting!  So when she complained about being itchy, I sprayed the Skin Regenerator on her backside and she indicated to me shortly after, that the itching stopped.  She again came to me the next night asking me to spray the regenerator on her.  I asked her if she truly felt it helped the itching and she said, “Ya mom…I do.”

BrytonPick Floss Interdental Cleaner

 Reviews
Jul 262011
 

As a person who avidly flosses, I was thrilled when I received notification that I could review the BrytonPick Floss Interdental Cleaner.  This dental cleaner is reusable up to 30 days, comes with a pouch to store it in, and is safe for use with braces.  I couldn’t wait to get it out of the package when it arrived to ‘inspect’ this little gadget and try it out.

                 

The cleaner, being in the shape of a mini boomerang with metal tips, proved to be easy to hold.  Next I needed to get this gadget between my teeth; however when I first went to insert it between my teeth, the sound of the metal against my teeth was not a happy sound to my ears.  I wasn’t sure I could ever get used to that sound; but over time, I did.  Inserting the metal tip between many of my teeth was proving to be difficult.  I found I had to use my forefinger to push the metal piece between many, as the metal tip was bending if I didn’t.  However, that being said, I also have gaps between some of my back teeth; and food is forever being caught between these teeth, which is very irritating to me.  Inserting the cleaner between these teeth was not a problem at all.  The BrytonPick actually removed the debris on the first or second swipe through.  This was a positive, as I usually end up causing my gums to bleed, trying to get the food out with traditional floss.  

I continued on using this one cleaner until…both ends broke off which was within the first week of use.  I didn’t expect this to happen so soon, but feel it was because I had such a hard time getting it to slip in between a good portion of my teeth.  In addition, I think I needed to figure out what way worked best for me when using this cleaner.  I like the design of the cleaner very much, and the ease of using it when I’m not home – is a real plus.

In need of a costume?

 Reviews
May 082011
 

There are many reasons as to why one would be in need of a costume…maybe for a play, a themed party, or Halloween.  If you happen to find yourself in need of one, I would like to suggest that you check out costumesupercenter.com.


I was given the opportunity to try a costume for myself.  I chose the Kings Jester Adult Costume.  The costume consists of a multi-colored long-sleeved tunic and a two-colored jester’s hat.  After ordering this particular costume, I wondered if I would have a problem with the hat.  I worried it may not stand up on my head without collapsing.  Well…I worried for no reason.  The hat is constructed of a foam which is sturdy enough to stand up while on the head, but not too heavy where it collapses.  The pompoms on the tips of the hat are light enough that they didn’t weigh the tips down. The picture off to the right above (taken from their website), shows the jester’s hat with a red and yellow pompom however, the jester’s hat I received had two green pompoms…regardless, talk about cute…that it is!  The tunic, itself, is constructed out of a polyester fabric and flows nicely on the body and down the arms.  The tunic is full enough to be worn by an adult size XS- LG. An adult who wears an XS may need to wear a belt, sash or tie, at the waist in order to create the balloon effect of the upper half of the costume.  Both, the hat and tunic fabrics are of vibrant colors that match to a tee.  I was pleased with the construction of the costume, as well.  


Costume Supercenter is a one-stop shop for your costume needs. They carry costumes for women,  teens, funny costumes, infants and toddler costumes, plus size, and even sexy costumes.  Should Fido need costume…check out their selection!  One can find a multitude of accessories including…wigs, paints, shoes, stockings and masks…to name a few, on their website as well.

L’Oreal Paris One SweepEye Shadow and Double Extend Eye Illuminator Mascara Review

 Reviews, Special
May 042011
 


I was recently given the opportunity to try L’Oreal Paris’ One Sweep Eye Shadow and Double Extend Eye Illuminator Mascara as a Bzz Agent.  


I have to say, I can’t say enough about the One Sweep Eye Shadow.  The uniqueness of the applicator makes layering the different colors of eye shadows extremely simple.  It truly is one sweep of the applicator on the shadow color pad and then one sweep to the lids. I found there to be no problem of the applicator not fitting on my lids.  The applicator’s design was a comfortable fit in hand, and to the eye, when applying.

The Double Extend Eye Illuminator Mascara was very easy to use as well.  The mascara applicator is double ended…another unique design.  One end supplies the under coat mascara and the other end supplies the top coat mascara.  The first step is to apply the darker end you see in the picture.  I did not have very good luck with my lashes not clumping together with the first step.  The second step is to apply the lighter color you see on the bottom.  This seemed to go on easy; however, my lashes were still clumpy.  Once my daughter saw my eyes all done she said, “Mom, you’ve got glitter all around your eyes.” Followed by, “I don’t like your eyes mom.”  I was really bummed she didn’t like my eyes, but she was being honest and honesty is always the best policy.  I haven’t given up on the Eye Illuminator Mascara, I see myself using the bottom coat more often, and saving the top coat for special occasions, especially at night.
