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.

I received this product as a free trial. I hate housework and any product that will make housework easier is something I need to try! I've been using this product for a couple of weeks and seem quite pleased with it.
The bottle itself is a good size and is easy to grip. I love the lemon scent - it's not too overpowering and it just smells fresh. The cream is the right consistency as it's thin enough to pour easily and thick enough that it adheres to the surface you want to clean. It rinses away quickly.
So over the last few days I've used VIm Cream with Microparticles on several items: stainless steel sink, enamelled laundry sink. stainless steel cutlery, fibreglass tub and shower with glass and ceramic tiles.
In every case Vim did a decent job. But what impressed me the most was how it cleaned stainless steel. My kitchen sink is over 25 years old and getting scruffy. No matter what I used, I simply couldn't get some of the marks off. And believe me I used several products. My sink hasn't looked better in years! Most of the scratches have been removed and the sink was left gleaming. I got the same results using it on my stainless steel cutlery. You know how knife blades get stained with use and teaspoons used to stir coffee and tea develop a tarnished look to them? Well, Vim returned them back to their original gleam. It's well worth a try - especially on stainless steel sinks and such.

I love this product even though I have no idea how it works! What the heck is in this thing anyway? I prefer the Eraser Duo as I find the eraser holds together much longer. When faced with a tough job, this is the product I pull ot. It works on pretty much anything. Just be careful on painted surfaces and/or glossy surfaces. Test it out in an inconspicuous area first as it might dull the finish. I -

I was in the market for a mid-sized crossbody organizer purse. I kind of felt like Goldilocks as most purposes were either too small or too large. for my body frame. This one was just right. With many different zippered compartments, this is an organized person's nirvana. Looks sharp and won't date quickly. A must have basic for any wardrobe! -
