Woolite Everyday Laundry Detergent

I am a member of Crowdtap, so occasionally, I get to review products for free!  I was very excited to be chosen for the Woolite Everyday Challenge! 


For this challenge, I rec'd 10 samples and $1.00 off coupons!  Talk about awesome.  I gave 9 of my samples to my Sunday School friends....

They were very excited to be a part of the challenge as well!  :)

I decided to use my sample yesterday afternoon and was very pleased with Woolite Everyday.  Now, typically, when you think of Woolite, you think of washing items that are delicate and might fade over time.  This is a brand new kind of Woolite.  Woolite Everyday offers you the same great quality as traditional Woolite, but you can use it on everything.  Here is a pic of the laundry, I used it with....


If you notice, there is a little bit of everything in that basket.  I had a couple of delicate material shirts, some tshirts, some socks and even a pair of khaki's.  I just decided to throw it all in and see what the results were. 

I like a lot of suds with my laundry detergent and Woolite Everyday did not disappoint!  :)


My clothes came out great!  No fading, no color running and they smelled great!  I would definitely recommend using Woolite Everyday...well, everyday!  :)


I received this sample for free and was not required to write a positive review.

Colgate Optic White

I received a VoxBox from Influenster.com filled with products to try.  3 of the items in my box were from Colgate.

Here is what I got...a full size bottle of Colgate Optic White mouthwash, a full size tube of Colgate Optic White toothpaste and a Colgate 360 toothbrush.

At first, I was very excited about all 3 of these products.  I really wish I could give you a good review on these products, but I can not. 

The first things I tried were the toothbrush and toothpaste.


The toothpaste was terrible.  I know that toothpaste doesn't always taste great, but this was pretty bad.  I don't even know how good the claims of whitening are.  I couldn't get past the bad taste and only tried it one morning.  It is a bitter taste that sticks with you. 

The toothbrush was less than stellar, as well.  I am sure that some people will really love it because I'm sure that it probably does a great job cleaning your teeth.  It even has a tongue scraper on the backside of the bristles.  What I did not like about it, was that it was very wide.  It felt like it was too big for my mouth. 

Since I had such a bad experience with those two items, I was a little leery of trying the mouthwash.  It actually took me 3 days to get up the nerve to take a swig.  Ugh....it was just as horrible as I imagined it would be.  It pretty much has the same taste as the toothpaste.  I just can't use it.  I think all 3 things will be going in the trash can.

I'm sorry Colgate, I wanted to give you a good review and I was excited about giving the items a try.  I think if it would have tasted better, I would be buying these products when the ones I rec'd ran out. 

These products may taste fine to everyone else, but they did not to me.  I will not be getting them at the store.

Sugar n' Spice VoxBox from Influenster

Check out the new Sugar n' Spice VoxBox from Inluenster.com!  I was very excited when I got the email telling me that I had been chosen to receive one!  I am all about receiving some free stuff and let me tell you, Influenster delivers!  They don't send products that are useless....we are talking about good products that get you excited to be a member.

The Sugar n' Spice VoxBox had some fabulous items in it!  I rec'd a FULL size, yes, FULL size bottle of Vaseline Spray n' Go moisturizer.  A box of Nectresse sweetener from Splenda, a box of witch hazel towelettes from Dickinsons, a sample of belVita breakfast biscuits, a full size bottle of Colgate Optic White mouthwash, a full size tube of Colgate Optic White toothpaste, and a Colgate 360 toothbrush.  There was also some coupons for the towelettes to share with my friends.

I have already tried the belVita biscuits and the Colgate items.  I can't wait to try the Vaseline lotion.  It looks like it would be so convenient.  Please check out my blog for the reviews on the belVita and the Colgate.
