Frizz-Ease Sheer Solution
I have been spreading the news to all my girlfriends and family members about Frizz-Ease Sheer Solution Lightweight Frizz Control that I received complimentary of BzzAgent for testing and review purposes.
I have to admit I was a bit skeptical about trying this product. After shaking it "activate" the solution, it had a cloudy oily appearance to it. I have used frizz control products in the past and they have left my hair greasy and sticky feeling afterwards so I really had my doubts after the activation process. However, I was pleasantly surprised with the results. The solution is lightweight and went on my hair smoothly. My hair was easy to style and left it virtually frizz free.
Many were surprised to know that Frizz-Ease Sheer Solution could be found at most major retailers for around $9.99. I passed out all eight samples and have received great feedback. Most are impressed with how soft and manageable their hair was after using it. Everyone I talked to had less frizz if not any frizz at all!!
Thanks for a great product!!
BIC Soleil Savvy Razor
BIC Soleil Savvy Razor
I received a BIC Soleil Savvy Razor plus 4 refillable cartridges complimentary of Bzzagent for testing and review purposes.
I really liked my BIC Soleil Savvy razor. Over the years, I have tried many different brands and types of razors. As a woman who shaves her legs daily, I found that mens' razors typically last longer and achieve a closer shave than most womens' razors. So, I was pleasantly surprised with the BIC Soleil Savvy results I got after using them. The handle is comfortable to hold and I was able to maneuver it fairly quickly without cutting myself multiple times like I do with a mens' razor. My legs were super smooth after using the razor which I didn't quite expect with it only being a triple-blade head. I was able to use the blade for about 10days before needing to replace it which in my opinion I wished it was a little longer. The only con I really have with razor is the lubricating strip. To me it felt very dry, thus the shave didn't feel as comfortable as I am use to with a razor.
Overall, I liked the BIC Soleil Savvy Razor and will consider buying it again in the future.
Dino Lingo
Dino Lingo
I am an Influenster (bbwife31). I did not personally get a copy of the DVD set to preview but I was able to check out a Dino Lingo Lesson via a link provided complimentary by Influenster for testing and review purposes. The lesson I viewed was in Spanish and taught numbers and the names of several animals. What a great way for young children to learn a language. It shows both animation and real images which I think is important. The animation is very colorful to capture your child's attention. They speak very clearly and repeat the words several times so that it easy enough for a small child to understand. Even as an adult I enjoyed the lesson and learned a few things as well.
Furthermore, with Dino Lingo programs, children learn a language through imagination with their fun cartoons, DVD's, CD's, books, posters, games, songs and flash cards. I think the variety of different activities they provide will help keep the kiddos from getting bored resulting in faster language development.
I think this is a great product. I would recommend it to other parents of young children as a language teaching tool.
I am providing a link to their website. www.dinolingo.com They have 30 different languages to choose from. You can get a free lesson to see if Dino Lingo is right for you and your family.

I was fortunate enough to receive kindle versions of the The Hangman's Daughter and the Dark Monk complimentary of BzzAgent for testing and review purposes. The Dark Monk is the follow-up sequel to the Hangman's Daughter. Without giving too much away, the book is set in the 17th century and is a "whodunit" mystery mixed in with a little bit of a star crossed lovers romance. I personally am not big on historical reads but I love mysteries and this book kept my attention and left me wanting more.
The only con I found with the book is that there is a lot of characters which could be confusing at time but overall I really enjoyed the book. Two thumbs up!!
Here are some links to the books that you might want to check out.

The Many Uses of Ivory
The Many Uses Of Ivory
I would venture to say that most people have heard about Ivory Soap sometime in their lifetime. I know I was personally raised on it and still to this day am an avid user. What I love about Ivory is that it has always been 99.4% pure. (How many other soap brands can claim that). It is free of dyes and perfumes and is gentle on your skin yet very effective as a cleaner. I love the way my skin feels after cleansing with Ivory. My face and body feel so soft and smooth after using it. But did you know that there is literally thousands of different ways Ivory soap can be used? Well I know I didn't until recently. I received a free bar of Ivory soap complimentary of Influenster and Ivory for testing purposes as a participant in the MomVox campaign in exchange for my honest opinion about the product. Influenster has challenged its Ivory Soap users to explore different ways of using the product than just the normal body and face washing. So today I am going to share some creative uses for Ivory Soap.
First, a way I use Ivory Soap is as leather cleaner. You can do this on leather furniture but I personally use it on my leather purses. I
To Clean Leather:
1. Dampen a lint-free cloth with water. Do not use hot water as this can damage the leather.
To Soften Hands and Cuticles:
1. Shave half a bar of Ivory soap into a bow1.
2. Pour in a 1/2 cup of hot water
3. Stir in 2 Tsps. of olive oil and let cool.
4. This makes a cream that be rubbed around the nails will cleanse and soften
your hands and cuticles.
For Keeping Fingernails Clean while Working in a Garden:
This one may seem a little strange for some. But for those of us who like to
garden and hate to wear gloves either because they feel too bulky on our hands or because
our hands get to hot, this may be a solution:
1. Run bar of Ivory soap under warm water.
2. Then rub the bar of soap under fingernails so that the soap gets under the nails. This fills the space under the nails so dirt won't get
Bubbles:
1. Shave 1/4 bar of Ivory soap
2. Dissolve in a quart of warm water
3. Add 2 drops of glycerin
3. Shake gently
Grab some bubble blowers and the kiddos are set.
Other uses for Ivory soap include making kids paint, as laundry detergent and a stain remover, furniture polish, candles, hanging wallpaper, ect
Like I stated before there are many ways that Ivory soap can be used. These are just a few of the ones that I have personally tried. It is easy to find in stores such as Walmart and Target as well as any major grocery, dollar and drug store. A 10-pack of Ivory bath bar soap retails for around $4.49 so it is pretty inexpensive if you feel like trying out some different ways to use Ivory soap. You never know you might discover that something new that works better than your usual way!!
