Over the past 2 weeks I used this product on various stains - food stains, drink stains (red wine!) and grease stains. Even though the clothing sat in the hamper for a few days, I just sprayed this on the stains and let it sit for 5 minutes. The clothes came out stain-free after the just 1 wash!

OXICLEAN Versatile Stain Remover is recommended for us e for household and laundry. I decided to try it out for cleaning grout. I made a paste as recommended, applied it, and let it sit for 30 minutes. The grout did come out slightly brighter, but my regular product does a much better job. Also I found that because of the consistency, it was difficult to rinse off. It took several attempts before it rinsed off clean.

I certainly had my doubts that this product would be just as effective as bleach, but safer than than bleach. So it put it to the test on a couple of loads. I washed as normal with my regular detergent and OXICLEAN. My white towels came out bright white, not dingy at all. I will certainly buy this product in the future.

Dove Advanced Care Antiperspirant Stick Original
I've been using the DOVE ADVANCED CARE ANTIPERSPIRANT for a couple of weeks now. It's easy to use and doesn't leave any white residue on clothes. I also like that it keeps me dry all day even when doing sweaty work.

Tried the DOVE NUTRITIVE SOLUTIONS ENERGIZE SHAMPOO. I received a sample and just used it recently after spending the day doing grimy outdoors work. The shampoo has a wonderful scent, but most importantly, it left my hair clean and feeling silky smooth. I will definitely be purchasing this. -

Thank you to ChickAdvisor for giving me the opportunity to try this beauty bar.
I have dry sensitive skin so I'm always cautious when I try a new product. I typically use body wash, but will on occasion use bar cleansers. I'm glad I decided to sign up for this product. The smell is a tad strong as you can smell it even when the wrapping is on. I decided to put an unopened bar in my closet to keep my clothes sweet smelling. The other I used everyday for a week. The bar is a nice size as it fits perfectly in my hand...no more dropping overly large bars! But the real deal clincher is that this cleanser really helped my dry sensitive skin. I've been using extra moisturizer body wash, but I found this to be more effective. I found it so effective that I'm seriously considering using this bar cleanser and ditching my body wash even though it's a little on the pricey side.

I recently had the opportunity to test out the Oral-B Pulsonic rechargeable toothbrush. I currently use the Oral-B Cross Action Power battery-operated toothbrush and will occasionally use a manual toothbrush. I did not expect to see a big difference between their rechargeable and battery-operated versions. This is what I found.
Charger: I had been concerned that it would be this honking big contraption, but the charger is quite compact. In addition to the toothbrush handle, it can store 2 brush heads. When fully charged, it will give you 30 minutes of power. Based on their recommended brushing time, you should be able to recharge once a week. This of course would not be the case if the handle is shared. I don't know what the lifespan is for the charger itself.
Handle: the handle is thicker and heavier than a manual brush but surprisingly thinner and much lighter than the battery-operated version.
Strength: You have a choice of CLEAN or SENSITIVE. Since I've used battery-operated toothbrushes for years, I started with the CLEAN mode. That was a mistake not to be repeated again. The vibrations were quite intense - I felt my brain rattling in my skull! The SENSITIVE mode works for me.
Brush Head: I was concerned that the brush bristles would be too hard, but in fact found them just right. Also the brush head is much smaller than that found on it's battery-operated version. I actually find the smaller head more comfortable and easier to use. Something to consider for those consumers with smaller mouths.
Precision Tip: The bristles on the precision tip were a little harder and caused some minor bleeding.
Timer: The brush has a built in timer that alerts when to move to the next quadrant. Every 30 seconds, it stutters as a reminder to move onto the next quadrant of your mouth. After 2 minutes, a double stutter lets you know you’ve brushed your teeth for the recommended time. I think this is very handy feature for both adults and children.
Effectiveness: I didn't think that this brush would be more effective than the battery-operated one. I was pleasantly surprised. They do in fact feel cleaner. It's early days (1-week), but I can't say I noticed that my teeth are any whiter.
Overall, I like this toothbrush. But, in my opinion, the price point is a little too high. Another cost to factor in is the cost of the replacement heads. I change my brush heads every 3-4 months so this can add up quickly. A travel case would be handy as would an extra brush head.
Thank you for the opportunity to test this out!

I received a freebie coupon for this product and was looking forward to trying it. For the record, the regular Nice 'N Easy is one of my favorite products. It leaves hair soft and shiny and the color has lots of dimension & highlights. And you can usually get it for a really good price. So I was looking forward to seeing how this product was improved over the non-foaming one. Sorry, but this product is a miss. The foaming aspect is just a gimmick and is more difficult and messier to apply. Despite rinsing thoroughly, this product left a residue on my scalp. When I dried my hair, the color was flat, dull and lacked dimension. There are better and less expensive products out there. For those using the regular Nice 'N Easy, don't bother switching.
Pros: None
Cons: Messy to use; leaves a residue; very difficult to remove from skin; hair color flat with little dimension
Verdict: Give this a miss! This product was neither nice nor easy!

I received this product as part of the Product Review Club. I used it for a few days, and here's my opinion.
The Good:
Hi/Lo switch allows control of how much scent is produced
Works immediately - as soon as it's plugged in
Plug rotates so it can easily be plugged in.
The scent is fresh and lighter - not as overpowering as the floral version.
The Bad:
Caps were a little difficult to unscrew.
The unit is quite large and is very noticeable.
After a while, the 2 scents merge together and can't be distinguished.
More suited for use it in larger open plan rooms.
The Better:
The Hi/Lo switch should be in the front of the unit for easy access. An off switch should also be added.
the unit should be scaled down so it's not so noticeable.
Not sure if separate scents are needed as they just blend into one.
