#gotitfree From Family Rated to try. At first I noticed a bit of a blue hue coming out from the sponge when I initially began to scrub. I rinsed it under the water for a bit and it quickly went away. I love how well made the sponge is. You can definitely tell it will be long lasting and not fall apart in a day or two like some other scrubbing sponges do. I've been in spring cleaning mode, starting with my kitchen first. It's done an amazing job on my dishes, stove and microwave - especially after hubby is done with them. The only thing I didn't use the sponge to clean was my coveted Starfrit Rock cookware. Even though it does say it's safe to use on non stick surfaces, I just didn't want to chance it. The scrubber portion does feel rough and I use only a micro fibre cloths on my cookware. Other than that, it's a great cleaning tool and did wonders on my pyrex dishes after hubby cooked lasagna! I can't wait to get into my other rooms and use them to clean baseboards and so much more! I will be buying these on my next trip to the store for sure! -

#gotitfree Silky, creamy, smooth! It's heavenly on the skin and the scent is lovely. I'm all about scent and if my nose doesn't like it, I won't use it. My skin felt so soft after using the product as well. I had no adverse reactions such as rash.
I'm in my 49th year and as I am aging, I'm getting more and more wrinkles, fine lines etc. I don't know if there is a wonder product, a fountain of youth so to speak. I don't know if my skin will look young like I was in my 20's but it can be helped in remaining at least healthy looking.
It's my belief that a product needs to be used for a long period of time to show any results, if any, in regards to making me look young again. I think sometimes we read the words "youthful" and have misconceived notions of the outcomes it would provide.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that I did love the product. My skin definitely shone and radiated after use. It didn't feel sticky or tacky after applying and it soaked into my skin well. I didn't feel the need to rub my face half an hour after applying because it felt it was still sitting on the top of my skin - so that was great!
Did my wrinkles disappear - No - Did my fine lines look less fine - No but my skin did feel and look great!

#gotitfree I received this product for my hubby to try. He does not usually use spray antiperspirants so this was going to be interesting. First off, he sprayed it in his face! LMAO Well, on the side of his face. He didn't check to see where the spray "nozzle" was pointing before depressing the trigger. After teaching him and showing him how to use it, he tried it. Overall, he liked it. He didn't quite like the scent but it worked and did what it was supposed to. Personally, I loved the scent! When I snuggle with him after a long hard day, it was nice to have a pleasant scent to smell when my head is nestled into his arms.
The only thing he didn't like was that fact that it was a spray. He didn't like the lingering mist. It doesn't linger for long but if you aren't careful you can end up breathing it in and it doesn't taste too nice.
Hubby is most definitely a gel or a stick antiperspirant kinda guy, especially after this experience.

#gotitfree I have mixed feelings about this product. After receiving the product a few days ago, I tried it right away. I did like the scent because it was subtle and not overbearing as some other sprays I have tried. It did keep my armpits dry throughout the day and overnight as well. I didn't get that tell tale sweaty mixed with antiperspirant smell after working hard which I liked. I also loved the fact that it didn't sting my underarms after I had shaved.
The one and only drawback I have with this product is the lingering powdery mist in the air after I sprayed. I ate it and I had the taste in my mouth for about 10 minutes. I also choked and began to cough for a bit as well because of it getting into my lungs. It's not that I've never used spray antiperspirants before - because I have. I tried to minimize the amount of over spray as much as possible.
Overall, I liked it because of everything I stated above. Would I purchase it in the future? Perhaps, but I think I am more of a solid stick kinda gal.

We love Knorr products and we were happy to have been sent a couple flavors to try #gotitfree. Being as we were sent a spicy hot item we couldn't eat it. None of like nor can handle spicy hot foods and we steer clear of these products. I did take a mouthful and it did taste good but that's as far as I got. If it wasn't hot and spicy we would definitely have eaten it all and purchase this particular product in the future BUT alas, it's not something we would normally purchase so we wouldn't be purchasing in the future. It's a shame that we had to let this food go to waste. :( I rated this product the way I did because if it were a flavor without the heat, we would have no doubt loved it. -

I had the pleasure of trying the Knorr Select Roasted Garlic Alfredo Rice. #gotitfree I loved how easy it was to make and that it only took minutes. It's creamy and might I add oh so garlicy! This is great because in my family, the more garlic the better. It was light and didn't turn into a sticky glob when it was done so that was fantastic to see. Although we used it as a side dish, it could be used as a base for a complete meal. I found that with only one package to use, there wasn't enough for everyone to sample it. Between hubby and I, we pretty much ate it all. Then again, we love our rice. We will definitely be looking for this on the store shelves and purchasing. #tryknorr -

#gotitfree Jayce can be really picky when it comes to his snacks. He will either love it, like it or dislike it. Jayce didn't much care for the Tropical flavor and I had a hard time getting him to eat it all from the small container. His favorite was the Raspberry which he wanted seconds. That said, I loved it and so did the rest of the family. My son will pack them in his lunch and take to work. As a matter of fact, the Tropical was my sons favorite. We will definitely be purchasing these as they are great for the entire family! -

#gotitfree I would definitely purchase this product. Jayce loved this flavor and he usually doesn't care for the flavored kind of apple sauce type products. He will eat them but he gravitates to original type flavors - as in plain ole apple sauce etc. He liked this so much he wanted me to take a little video of him eating it as proof LOL He normally eats them as an after school snack and for breakfast when we are in a rush. I also pack them in his backpack to take with him for snacks on the go. I like them as they are unsweetened so he is only getting natural sugars without all the excess. He is energetic enough without adding fuel to the fire. -

#gotitfree I have to say that this was my least favorite blend out of all the Lipton teas that I sampled. The Ginger scent hit me like a tonne of bricks when I opened the package. I normally like Lemon Ginger tea but I just didn't care for this blend. I found that the Ginger overpowered the Lemon flavor. Sadly, I won't be purchasing this blend in the future. -

A strong scent of Peach with a slight Mango undertone hit me as soon as I opened the package. I was really looking forward to trying this tea and it didn't disappoint. I found his tea to be great both with and without sugar (1/2 teaspoon). It has a nice, light peach taste that is really refreshing. I will definitely be purchasing this tea. -
