Reach Dental Floss Has Been Rebranded!

You read that right! Johnson and Johnson's Reach dental floss has been rebranded! It has been renamed to Johnson and Johnson's Listerine Ultra Clean dental floss. With this change, I was able to sample a container of Listerine Ultra Clean dental floss in mint flavor for free from Crowdtap and the Listerine crew!

The new packaging was super easy to open and has minimal waste, which I think is important. The piece of thin plastic you peal off I had to toss, but the rest I could recycle. The new container is an interesting shape and is transparent.

The flavor I had was mint, and it is a pretty light blue color. The wax looks a bit wide, very flat, but works wonderfully! It does not shred at all. I was able to do my entire mouth with only a small amount of floss. The dental floss smells great and tastes good too. It leaves your breath smelling good and leaves a minty feel to your mouth. I really liked this floss and it did a great job. I will be buying this floss again. Lately I had been using flossers because I thought tehy were easier, but I had no problem with this Listerine Ultra Clean floss.

Brushing alone only cleans up to 25% of your mouth. Flossing is important to get between your teeth to help prevent gingivitis and keep your teeth healthy and your breath smelling fresh. A good oral hygiene routine consists of brushing, flossing and rinsing with mouth wash.

The tampon that nobody talks about, but everyone should!

Being a woman comes with responsibility. Like your period. You can't avoid it, it comes every month and you're stuck with it. It happens to almost every woman, and we shouldn't be embarrassed to talk about it! So I applied to do a product sampling with Crowdtap for o.b. Pro Comfort tampons in regular and I was selected! I got to try these for free with a review of their products.

They sent a few 18 count boxes; one for me and two for friends, and two cute little discreet carrying cases!

I used to use o.b. tampons when I was in high school. I've always liked how they were so small and discreet and they are easier to control without the applicator. They are also less wasteful to the environment. I don't know why I quit buying o.b., but with this sampling I was reminded on how great of a tampon they are and will be switching back from my Kotex U!

These o.b. Pro Comfort tampons have "silk touch". A smooth cover for easier insertion and for extra comfort and protection. They really do have that silky touch and are very comfortable to insert and to wear. You don't even know you're wearing them and they are very absorbent. The tampons are very very tiny, easy to hide in your hand or in small pockets.

The little carrying case they sent me is super cute and a great way to protect your tampons and keep them discreet and easy to find in your bag, purse or pocket!

I will be using o.b. pro comfort tampons from now on!

Want to know what is really scary this Halloween?

So you want to know what is really scary? When your little one's diapers are sagging to the floor! I was sent a few Pampers Cruisers to review for free, from Influenster and Pampers! I have always loved the smell of Pampers, a light baby powder scent. Which is funny, because I usually don't like scented products or baby powder smell. There's something about Pampers and baby Dreft soap that really gets me!

These Pampers Cruisers diapers are so adorable with their Seasame Street character designs! These diapers have design printed on the entire diaper!

Pampers Cruisers have extra absorb channels to help distribute wetness evenly and they can help keep your little ones diaper dry for up to 12 hours!

I think Pampers Cruisers are a great diaper for my toddler, they smell great and look super cute and don't leak! They don't sag and are so soft. Pampers has a great points program that you can redeem for wonderful rewards too!

BIC® Soleil® Glow® Disposable Razors

I was sent a three pack of BIC® Soleil® Glow® disposable razors from BzzAgent and Bic to try for my honest review. I've used the Bic brand many times in the past, so I knew it was a decent brand and was excited to try these premium razors with comfort glide!

I noticed right off that you could see the razors easily through the packaging, which as a shopper I really like. The colors were nice, and the package was super easy to open. Some of these razors you need to work pretty hard to even get them out of the packaging; not these.

These razors are comfortable to hold and standard size, easy to maneuver.

I grew my leg hair for about a week before trying this razor, to see how well these really work. My leg hair is thick and very dark, as you will see.... I started out with a bit of Aveeno shaving cream.

Just with the first swipe of the razor you can see how close of a shave and how well it works.

And finally a picture of the finished "product".

This razor was nice because I didn't get any knicks or cuts from it, it was an easy glide and I didn't end up with any razor burn at all. I am really prone to razor burn so it was a relief. I also shaved my arm pits with this razor, same results; close shave, no razor burn. The bikini area was trickier and I had a harder time getting a close shave. No cuts or razor burn, but I wasn't left smooth like the other areas. This is a great razor for legs and underarms, and it is okay for the bikini area.

Neutrogena Ultra Light Cleansing Oil!

Hello readers! I have not blogged in a while! I recently moved and had a bunch of other unexpected things pop up and have not had the time. I want to get back to blogging and reviewing now! Lucky for me and you, Crowdtap sent me a new product for free to try and review! Neutrogena Ultra Light Cleansing Oil!

This light cleansing oil is for removing dirt, oil and waterproof make up! I have not tried with make up yet, but plan too! I always have the hardest time removing my waterproof eye make up. I do have oily skin though, and I put this cleanser to the test. Check out my before photo.

My face is very oily, especially in my "T-Zone"; forehead and nose.

Here's a photo of me using the product. I've never used an oil cleanser before and was really skeptical about it. It was runny and seemed odd to clean my face with an oil when oil was part of the problem.

It's super easy to use. You just put the oil on with dry clean hands, onto your dry face. Then add a little water and scrub it around. Then wash off with warm water. It came off pretty easily, which was another concern. I thought the oil would be hard to get off, but it wasn't! My face looked really nice afterwards and was really, really soft! I can't stop feeling it!

I honestly don't think I've met a Neutrogena product that I haven't liked before! This ultra light cleansing oil is no exception! I will keep using this!

Cesar Home Delights Dog Food Sampled by my Boston Terrier

I'm part of the Cesar Pack Crowd on Crowdtap and was selected to have my dogs try out Cesar Home Delights wet dog food for free.

I had my 11 year old Boston Terrier Dita Von Paws try the food out.

Dita is normally fed dry food, so she was already excited to have this special treat of wet dog food. We were sent three different flavors of Cesar Home Delights. The flavors we were sent were Pot Roast, Beef Stew and Slow Cooked Chicken with Vegetables. I feel like the chicken is a flavor we would buy again. It looks and smells the most appealing and the chicken seemed to be easiest on her tummy. The first night I cooked chicken and corn for the family and gave Dita her Cesar Home Delights meal in chicken to match!

Dita really seemed to enjoy these meals and the portion size seemed to be about right. For an older dog that is not used to wet food I would not feed them to her very often because it gave her loose stool and bad gas. For a special treat, they worked great and I know she would love to have them again. They seem healthy and they are a great price. Easy to open containers and easy to recycle as well!

Folgers Iced Cafe Coffee Concentrates

I'm a part of the Folgers Fans panel on Crowdtap and was selected to try and review Folgers Iced Cafe Coffee Concentrates for my honest review. They sent me four fantastic flavors! The flavors are Original Latte, Caramel Macchiato, Vanilla Latte and Hazelnut Latte.

These bottles are small, just 1.62 FL OZ., but they have up to 12 servings worth of concentrate in each bottle! Just 10 calories per serving. Of course, you need to take in account the milk that you use. That's right, all you have to do is add a few squirts of this concentrate to a glass of milk! It recommmends two squirts per 8 OZ. cup, but you can do more or less depending on personal taste.

The ingredients in the bottle are super minimal! Just concentrated coffee, water, natural and artificial flavor, ground coffee and Sucralose. This product does not have to be refridgerated! Would be easy to take on the go and would save space put in your cupboard.

Folgers Iced Cafe Coffee Concentrate is super easy to use and very tasty! Pour your milk, Squirt the concentrate in, Stir it, add Ice and enjoy! Tastes like something you could buy at any coffee shop. For an entire container with 12 servings, you're only paying as much as a single glass you would've bought out! The only downside for me is they only come with caffiene and I prefer caffiene free coffee.

Old Factory Hand Poured Soy Wax Candles Review

I was selected to try Old Factory Candles to try out for free, and give my honest review for. I had never heard of this brand of candle before and have not purchased a candle in quite some time, so I was excited to try them out. These candles are scented natural soy wax candles, with cotton wicks and made with premium fragrance oils. The candles come in a sturdy attractive box, are made in the USA and are hand poured!

I was able to select any scent out of the available scents they offered, and I decided to go with their Citrus Grove three pack. This pack comes with Lemongrass, Orange Zest and Key Lime. I thought it'd be a perfect choice for the warmer months!

They off a free E-book on Aromatherapy that they e-mail to you upon request! Check it out! AROMATHERAPY E BOOK!

The candles have a light fragrance and don't seem to fill a large room individually, when you walk close to them burning you can smell them however. I think these would be a great candle for a bathroom or a bedroom. Sometimes it is nice to have a scented item that is not overwhelming. The candles are all white and in nice glass jars with tasteful labels.

Each candle is 4 oz. each and seem to have a lot of burn life in them. They also burn very evenly which is important for not only the look of the candle, but the longevity of it.

These candles are a bit pricey, normally $40.00 for a set of 3. They are currently on sale on Amazon for $27.97 and ship free with an Amazon Prime Account. Check them out here on Amazon for more information or to purchase them. Also feel free to check out their website for more information! Old Factory Candles Website!

Johnsonville Grillers - Bacon & Cheddar Pork Burgers!

My favorite kind of product to sample and review! Food! Thanks to Crowdtap, I was selected to review Johnsonville Grillers pork burgers! They have many flavors to choose from, but when I saw Bacon & Cheddar I knew that this was the flavor for me!

Johnsonville Grillers are frozen pork patties. They come in a 6 pack and are just over $5.50 a box from Walmart. A pretty good deal in my opinion. I wasn't sure what to expect from these when I was selected, but I was very excited to find out! We decided to do a little family barbeque with my husband, son, mother in law and I.

The first thing we noticed about these Johsonville Grillers is that they grill up a lot quicker than your traditional beef patty does! My corn wasn't even done being chucked (only 4 ears) and they were telling me to hurry up and get some plates!

They looked and smelled great! The best part is they already had bacon and cheddar in them, so I didn't have to worry about slicing up cheese or cooking bacon. Which is also a money saver with the bacon! I had lettuce and tomatoes ready to go, and condiments. I forgot to get out the pickles and cut up my red onion - but honestly the burgers were so good it didn't matter in the end!

The moment of truth. My turn to bite into my burger.

It looked good, smelled great, and it was a decent sized burger!

The color is a bit different than your normal burger because it is pork. The texture is pretty good and it is a hearty patty. It was very juicy and it had a mild bacon and cheddar taste, but enough to know it was there. I was happy that it was not a weird synthetic taste like some things get. I would buy these burgers again, and probably will for my summer cook outs. They are only available at one store in my area so far but since they are frozen they are easy to buy in bulk and stock up on! Check out this handy product locater! Find Johnsonville Grillers HERE!
