Look at what the FedEx man brought me today:



This is from a program back in October 2011 through Proctor & Gamble where you spent $25 or more in a single transaction of qualifying products, mail in the receipt and form, and they sent you this. I guess this year the response to this was overwhelming, so they ended up sending me a post card at the beginning of the year saying it would be delayed. After coupons and store discounts I spent less than the minimum $25 on the participating items and then they send me this for free! Make sure you're on the lookout for it again this year as this is the second year I've had the opportunity to participate in this awesome program!!

Included:
3-Piece Mixing Bowl Set with Covers (6-Piece Total)
High Temp Spatula
Oven Glove with Silicone Pad
3-Piece Liquid Measuring Cup Set
Silicone Baking Sheet
Tin Cookie Sheet

Venus & Olay Razor

I recently recieved my Love VoxBox from Influenster.com and boy was I super excited to find a Venus & Olay razor inside. I have always been a fan of Gillette Venus razors and after trying this new razor just reaffirmed my loyalty to the brand! I really love this razor! Over the years I have tried many razors and none have come anywhere near to giving me as close of a shave as I get with my new Gillette Venus & Olay. It really leaves my skin soft and smooth after a shave, and it really does smell great. It has that Olay scent that we have all grown to know and love.  It also has to be mentioned that they give you a great little holder to hang it up in your shower for convenient storage (just make sure if you have little ones that you hang it up high enough so they don't knock it down or grab for it).

In summary, Gillette has really done a great job creating and perfecting the razor system. My only wish is here to hopefully see this razor come in different scents. I really love the smell, but I think having a few choices would be great!!

Here is some information that I wanted to share about it, but If you would like to check it out for yourself, visit www.gillettevenus.com 


Venus & Olay Razor
For the first time ever, Gillette Venus, a global leader in female shaving, and Olay, a global leader in skincare, are coming together to deliver a gold standard in shaving with the new Gillette Venus & Olay razor.

Olay Moisture Bars help lock-in moisture to your skin for less dryness, and with every smoothing stroke, Venus’ five blades shave you close.

Playtex Sport Feminine Body Wipes Review

Recently I was able to receive Playtex Sport Body Wipes to try out and share with friends. Those of you who got a sample from me know what I'm talking about and feel free to share comments and/or feedback in the comments section. I personally tried these and really liked them. There are a lot of moist wipes out there and in my opinion it's about time that a company came out with ones specifically designed for women. After using them I felt fresh and clean. They are great after a bike ride or playing outside with the kids, when you don't have time to get a shower immediately afterwards. I found these very useful and I definitely plan on keeping a couple of these in my purse and in my car. I liked the scent and I really like how convenient they are. Thank you Playtex for coming up with such a great idea!!

Cool Hex Bug win!

A really cool site had a giveaway recently for a new Hex Bug, and I was the lucky winner of one of them! These little bugs are absolutely nuts! My 4-year-old just loved it and thought it was the coolest thing, especially because he got to freak his older sister out with it. We have seen these Hex Bugs in the stores and everytime we went by them my son would ask for one, and now thanks to  www.promoteyoursite.weebly.com I was able to win one for him! Check out this site and be sure to post what you think!!

Way behind

Things have been super crazy with work and I haven't gotten around to posting in a while. I keep saying tonight is going to be the night that I post something and then something comes up and it gets put on the backburner. Well, I'm going to try to be better at this and keep up with this blog. Check back for some posts about some cool stuff I've gotten recently thanks to a bunch of great people, sites, blogs, and more!!!

Not much going on this week...

Besides doctors appointments and some meetings at school there's not a whole lot I have going on this week. I'm sure I'll be busy with work, though.

A new video game did come out this week...Castlevania...and since I had a reserve on it at Gamestop I picked it up last Thursday when I got my paycheck. Pretty good game so far, though I haven't gotten to play too much of it yet, so we'll see.

I think I'm slacking off on my couponing too. I don't think I've actually gone coupon shopping in about a week and a half...shocking right? I guess sometimes I get burnt out on that too. Maybe I'll get out of this funk soon and it'll be back to business as usual!

I've had enough...

Well I have decided that it is time I invest in a new digital camera. The one I have has batteries and was not a rechargeable kind and when my batteries died in my camera it somehow erased all my pictures. I just can't believe it. : (

I lost all my pictures from the Mix Pups party we just had and the ones I still had on there from our trip to the Baltimore Zoo with the Zhu Zhu pets are gone too.

I have had enough and I'm going to go buy a new digital camera that is rechargeable and that takes a memory stick, that way this will never happen again. Anyone know of a good one to recommend?
