Dial Complete Antibacterial Foaming Hand Wash Review
To start off, I just want everyone to know that Dial provided a free sample of their awesome Holiday Foaming Hand Soap so that I could review it. My opinions expressed here are my own, though, and not influenced by the company in any way. Now on to the review!
The first thing that I noticed when I opened the package was the super cute, festive packaging of the soap bottles! There are 4 different designs to choose from. I was sent the snowman and Christmas tree designs. The other two designs were a santa and candy cane design. (also VERY cute & festive!!)
If you have ever used any type of Dial soap, you already know how great it is! These decorative holiday bottles are no different. They contain Dial Complete's #1 doctor recommended antibacterial foaming hand wash. This formula kills 99.99% of germs while still being very gentle on your skin. We all know that while the holiday season is joyful, fun, and exciting, it can also be the PERFECT time to get invaded by GERMS. YUCK! To help keep your whole family healthy and to prevent the spreading of any unwanted germs, you can use this Dial Foaming Hand Wash to wash away those nasty germs & leave your hands feeling squeaky clean! The scent is very nice, too. Very soft & gentle. I love that the foaming hand soap washes away easily and doesn't leave a slimy residue on your hands after rinsing.
I would highly recommend this soap to anyone, especially anyone with kids. :) It is easy for them to use and very kid-friendly. The pump doesn't require a lot of effort to use and just the right amount of soap gets dispensed each time. These bottles are also great for kids because the festive designs are more fun than just a typical looking bottle. It makes hand washing more fun and motivates them to wash their hands more often. Heck, even I found myself enjoying washing my hands! That cute little snowman face always made me smile when I would look at it!
Overall, I had a great experience with the Dial Antibacterial Foaming Hand Wash. I will definitely continue to buy this product even if it doesn't include the cute holiday themed packaging. I would love to see other holiday themed packaging get introduced in the future. Easter, Halloween, 4th of July, so many fun possibilities! Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to sample such a great product!

I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!! :)

Purex plus Oxi Product Review
I received a bottle of this detergent to try from Purex Insiders. However, all opinions that I express here are my own. I have been using the Purex brand for a few years and have always been VERY pleased with the results. I also love that the price is a little more reasonable than some of the other more popular name brands. The first thing that grabbed my attention about this product was that it was supposed to work against over 101 different stains. That is impressive! I was wondering if that would even be true and really wanted to put the product to the test. Before I go into my personal review, here are some facts about this awesome product:
The three stain-fighting enzymes in Purex plus Oxi each work against different types of stains for the most Purex stain-fighting power you can get!
Purex plus Oxi, like all liquid Purex products, has been specially formulated to work in both high efficiency washers and traditional washing machines. And because it's from Purex, you know it won't break the bank! Purex plus Oxi leaves your clothes bright, white, and clean and costs HALF the price of the leading brand. WOW!
A powerful combination of detergent and stain fighters
-A hypoallergenic formula with a ligh, fresh scent
-Perfect for everyday laundry or heavily soiled loads
-Visit Purex.com/products/detergents/purex-plus-oxi for additional product information
The first load that I used this detergent on was by far, the dirtiest. It was my mainly my husband's work clothes which have a combination of different stains - dirt, deodorant, sweat, and even wine! He works as a vendor and had a bottle of wine shatter right next to him. The entire leg of his khaki colored pants, his sock, and his shoe were DRENCHED in red wine. UGH! I have had wine stains on clothing before and if they aren't treated immediately, they can set in and be nearly impossible to remove. Needless to say, he wasn't able to come home right away so the stain had plenty of time to set in. I never thought it would come out!
I threw all of his work clothes in a medium sized load, used warm water, and didn't use any other pretreaters. The only thing that I did was used some of the Purex plus Oxi detergent with an old toothbrush to scrub the stain before throwing it in the wash. Threw everything in, closed the lid, and hoped for a miracle, LOL! I could smell the clothes being washed in the other room. The fragrance wasn't overpowering but it did have a nice fresh scent. When the clothes were done, I immediately hunted for the pair of khaki colored pants with the wine stain on them. There were 3 pairs of the same colored pants in there and I took them all out. I couldn't tell which one originally had the stain on it!!! To me, that was incredible! The clothes smelled so clean & fresh, too. It removed ALL of the bad odors along with the stains, even the wine and deodorant stains!
If you haven't tried this product yet, I strongly suggest you do. It has worked wonders at removing tough, set-in stains along with old stains as well. Our local stores ALWAYS have Purex detergents on sale which makes it even more enticing!

Kylie Minogue - The Abbey Road Sessions Album Review
I have been a fan of Kylie Minogue for many years. I can remember listening to her music in both middle AND high school and still listen to her today! I think she has a beautiful music and a unique one, at that. She doesn't resort to painful screeching like many other female singers that we are subjected to in today's music, LOL!
Before I begin, I want to let everyone know that I was sent a copy of this CD from One2One Network to give my honest review of it on my blog. All opinions here are still my own and not influenced by my campaign participation in any way. With that being said, let's get into the review! :)
The cool thing about this album is that is features 16 reworked tracks which span Kylie's 25 year career. I find that to be pretty impressive and exciting. That is what originally sparked my interest about this album. The CD was recorded in London's legendary Abbey Road Studios with Kylie's band and a full orchestra. Over all sixteen tracks, one thing becomes very clear. Stripped of her high-end pop production, the emotional resonance of Kylie’s songs has never been clearer, and her voice has never sounded better. Here are the list of songs on this album:
ALL THE LOVERS
ON A NIGHT LIKE THIS
BETTER THE DEVIL YOU KNOW
HAND ON YOUR HEART
I BELIEVE IN YOU
COME INTO MY WORLD
FINER FEELINGS
CONFIDE IN ME
SLOW
LOCOMOTION
CAN'T GET YOU OUT OF MY HEAD
WHERE THE WILD ROSES GROW
FLOWER
I SHOULD BE SO LUCKY
LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT
NEVER TOO LATE
I thought the song "Flower" was incredibly moving and inspiring. When I read that she wrote this song during her breast cancer treatments and her ability to have a child was in question, that really moved me. I thought the song was genuine, and definitely written from the heart. There is a really great mix of music on this CD, some slower paced, some a faster tempo, but I do feel like it is VERY different from what I have heard from Kylie Minogue over the past several years. If you are a fan of hers (or even if you aren't), this CD is definitely worth checking out.
Kylie has been celebrating K25, her 25th Anniversary in music, all throughout 2012. It has been an extraordinary career so far; 60 million global album sales, multiple hit singles, global tours, and industry accolades — all of which has permanently cemented her place in music history as a bona fide superstar. I look forward to seeing what she will do next!! :)

Oral-B Professional Healthy Clean Precision 1000 toothbrush - AWESOME!!
Today I am going to be reviewing the Oral-B Professional Healthy Clean Precision 1000 rechargeable electric toothbrush. I received this product to try out from Modern Mom but the opinions that I am giving here are 100% my own.
First, I want to start off by saying that I wasn't all that familiar with rechargeable toothbrushes before trying this one. I have used battery operated ones but felt like the bristles just vibrated and really didn't offer any major benefits. I wasn't sure how well this toothbrush would work but I was very excited to try it! Here is some basic information from the box for anyone that is interested. Oral-B's words would probably be better than mine, lol:
-Removes up to 5X more plaque around the gumline
-Unlike brushes that just vibrate, Oral-B's clinically proven technology pulsates to break up plaque and oscillates & rotates to sweep plaque away
-Dentist-inspired precision clean brush head - round brush head surrounds each tooth for precise cleaning in hard to reach areas
These statements impressed me a lot. At first, I didn't know if I would notice any difference but I DEFINITELY did! I loved that the bristles themselves actually moved. I felt like this toothbrush did a MUCH better job of cleaning my teeth and removing food particles. My teeth felt SO incredibly clean after brushing with this toothbrush. You know that squeaky clean feeling that you get when you leave the dentist? It felt A LOT like that! No joke! My teeth felt so incredibly clean and smooth. I actually noticed a difference the very first time I used this toothbrush. When I ran my tongue over my teeth, I couldn't believe how much cleaner they felt! If you don't believe me, try it for yourself. I know you won't be disappointed. And if for some reason you don't agree with my positive review, Oral-B has a satisfaction guarantee. Try it with no risk for 60 days and if you aren't completely satisfied, you can get your money back! How can you go wrong with that?! There is also a 2 Year Limited Warranty on the toothbrush that includes replacement or repair of product.
The Quadrant Pacing was also very useful, too. This toothbrush signals you every 30 seconds to let you know when it's time to switch quadrants. It also stops pulsating when you brush your teeth too hard. I liked both of these features because I felt that they really helped me get the most out of my brushing. Brushing too hard can really harm your gums in the long run so by using this toothbrush, you can be sure that you are exerting just the right amount of pressure.
If you are anything like me, you might not have thought there were any major issues with your current toothbrush. After you use this Oral-B Professional Healthy Clean Precision 1000 rechargeable electric toothbrush, you will immediately realize what you were missing. Your teeth and mouth will feel cleaner, trust me! Healthy mouth = better smile, better breath, and a happier you!
I give this toothbrush two thumbs up and would DEFINITELY recommend it! Thank you Modern Mom and Oral-B for giving me the opportunity to try out this awesome product!! :)

Combat Source Kill Max Ant Bait and Ant Gel - GREAT STUFF!
To start off, I just want everyone to know that Combat provided a free sample of their Ant Bait and Gel so that I could review them. My opinions expressed here are my own, though, and not influenced by the company in any way. Now on to the review!
I have used Combat products in the past and were always pleased with the results. When I first received the package, I was impressed by the product form. It looked very easy to use and mess-free which I liked. Here is a picture of the two products that I used over the past few weeks:
Since I live in North Carolina where it's very warm this time of year, we are constantly having a problem with ants. We have VERY careful about keeping food out, leaving crumbs on the floor, etc yet they still find their way in. We might stop them from coming in one area only to find that they found another way in.
I will start with the Combat Source Kill Max Ant Gel. Since we were experiencing an ant problem right away, I decided to try the gel first. I applied it around the windows where they were coming in. Just a few dots in each area. I could see the ants going to it so I was hopeful that the product would start working quickly! Boy did it ever. I didn't see another ant after 3 days. The amount of ants slowly tapered on and then stopped completely! It was amazing. The product was very easy to apply, too, and didn't requite much effort on my part. I loved that I could choose exactly where I wanted to apply the product. I think this makes it a little more versatile. I will definitely be buying this product again in the future.
Even though we didn't see any more ants, I still decided to put out the Combat Kill Max Ant Baits. (this was more of a precaution) Ants are a MAJOR pest so I thought the baits would help kill any strays. I also put a bait trap near our back door because ants love hanging out around that area. I have been using the products for several weeks now and haven't seen ONE ant in our home. To be perfectly honest, I haven't seen many outside around our home either. These products were VERY effective and worked quicker than other products I have tried in the past. The true test will be how long the ants actually stay away. I have no problem buying these products again in the future because they worked so well. I have already recommended them to friends & family members!
Thank you Purex Insiders and Combat for giving me the opportunity to try these amazing products! :)
