Dentek Flossers

kids version
Thanks to Influenster I was able to try some Dentek Flossers that came in my Summer Mom Vox Box.

I was given samples of the kids and the adult versions. They both have a small handle and a bit of floss strung across the top to help make flossing easier.

I had tried the adult version before and I love these things. They are small and easy to carry in your purse or your car for those tough to reach spots that food gets stuck in.

My daughter is only 2 so she doesn’t really floss yet, but I figured I would let her pick out a color and try it out.  She had so much fun she can’t wait to do it again.

imPRESS Press On Manicure


The Product:

imPRESS Press-On Manicure

Review:

These were fun and easy to put on. Mine were Velvet Rope which was a nice purple shade that I would actually wear on a normal day. It only took me ~5 minutes to put these on and unlike polish I didn't mess them up right away. Mine stayed on ~24 hours before I managed to rip one off (it didn't hurt though) and tear the plastic on another. It defense of the nails I was doing some manual labor that I had not intended on when I applied them.  Due to the good price and the easy of application I will get these again... perhaps for my sister's wedding.

The Many Uses of Ivory

     
I received Ivory Soap from my Mom Vox Box Summer 2012 as a complimentary sample from Influenster

The Facts:


Ivory bar soap is 99.44% pure (it floats!).  Beyond using it as a body cleanser, many of Ivory's loyal users – not to mention a few celebrities – swear by Ivory as their beauty secret. In fact, many consumers use Ivory bar soap as a facial cleanser.  It provides healthier, smoother and more even-looking skin. Also, its versatility makes it an effective laundry soap (just chip soap flakes into the washer) as well as a spot stain remover on your clothes (including delicate items). Ivory bars can even be used for a fun soap carving project with the family!  


· 30% of moms surveyed found the most complicated aspect of motherhood was finding more "me" time, 66% confessed to hiding in their bathroom for some alone time.
· 75% feel the pressure to make every outing, playdate, or experience a "teachable moment," which can create great pressure
· 70% of moms feel they don’t have everything together, despite others thinking that they do.

As a result of these findings, Ivory created a Facebook community where everyday moms can share tips with one another on ways to simplify life for themselves and their families.   

Find your Ivory now at your nearest retailer, including stores such as Walmart and Target as well as any major grocery, dollar and drug store.  A 10-pack of Ivory bar soap retails for around  $4.49 (bath bar size).

The Review:


Cleaning the frog

 Ivory is one of the least expensive bars and body washes on a per oz basis and can be used for a variety of things. Here are a few of my recommendations:
  • Body Cleanser 
  • Clothes Stain Remover (food stains, ring around collar, etc)
  • Laundry Flakes
  • Soap Carving Project
  • To see even more uses click here
I like that it left everything smelling and feeling clean. It was gentle on both the cloths and my 2 year old's skin while removing all the sticky and dirty stuff. I look forward to trying some more things with it soon. I will be getting more of this!

Ivory Bar Soap

Free of dyes and heavy perfumes, Ivory provides a simple, yet effective clean for the entire family (without breaking the bank!).

Eva was ready to tear into it

-Contains 6 grams of total fat per serving

Where to Buy

You can find Quaker Soft Baked Oatmeal Cookies at most major retailers.

Suggested retail price: $2.69 for a box of 6 cookies

The Review:
These cookies were good. They were chewy as promised and had a good amount of raisins in them (if you like raisins good, if not then I suggest picking them out and giving them to someone who does). I would be more interested in some of the other flavors or a cookie without the raisins personally. Though this would make a good and somewhat healthy snack for my 2 year old. I will try these again.
