Purex Fabric Softener Sheets #Giveaway

Purex provided me with a sample of Purex Fabric Softener Dryer Sheets in exchange for a product review. However, all the opinions expressed here are my own.

Recently the boys have started helping me with doing laundry and one of their favorite part in helping is putting the dryer sheet in the dryer. So when we got Purex Fabric Softener in Sweet Lavender scent and the eldest son pulled the first one from the box he exclaimed "I like that, what's that smell mommy!" So the scent was a winner right off the back for both the boys and mom.

This completely makes since because in addition to reducing static cling and repelling pet hair and lint it now has a new improved formula with 3X the fragrance! That leads me another claim of Purex Fabric Softener Sheets of adding freshness and softness throughout the house, an unexpected (30 minutes heads up) visitor helped me put this to the test. Whenever we  have a visitor(s) my biggest concern is always their comfort level and the first thing I feel that makes someone comfortable is the scent of the home they enter. With that said with my unexpected visitor on their way instead of firing up my scented wax per usual, I decided to test out the Purex Fabric Softener Sheets in the cushions of the couch, on top of the refrigerator and in the emptied guest bathroom trash can. I won't say that my guest came in and woo'd and awed over the scent of my house, but once we walked our visitor out to the car and re entered our home I did experience a subtle sweet smell of lavender.

Now here is your chance to experience Purex Fabric Softener Dryer Sheets for yourself! Enter to win two coupons for FREE Purex Fabric Softener Dryer Sheets products! (One winner will receive two coupons, expires 12/31/14)

Enter to win by using the below Rafflecopter form to enter for a chance to win this awesome giveaway! Please let me know if you have any questions.

Cascade Platinum Pacs Review #MyPlatinium #Sponsored @MyCascade

I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Cascade. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating. 

My four year old, Romee, is super observant and apparently had noticed when I slipped a Cascade Platinum Pacs into the the dishwasher instead of the normal liquid detergent he is accustomed to me using. So when I opened the dishwasher after the first time of me using Platinum he rushed over and proclaimed "the dishes are so shiny and clean". All I can do is laugh because I was thinking the same thing. But the skeptic in me crept in and I reminded myself that I did a pretty extensive pre-wash before I put the dishes in the dish washer, as I am accustomed to doing with my normal detergent. So I made a mental note to NOT pre- wash on the next load to see if we (Romee & I) would still be impressed with the results. 

As you can see in the picture below I loaded my dish washer up with some pretty filthy dishes included baked on biscuit remnants on the baking sheet to the right of the pick and baked on cheese in the circular glass baking dish to the lower left of the dishwasher. So I was all set to be let down cause I thought I hadn't given the product a fighting chance. Well, to my surprise the picture on the right is what I saw when I opened the door shiny and clean dishes AGAIN! But, this time I must same Romee wasn't too impressed I guess he was sold on round one. 

What I liked Most is that it did what it promised.

 CASCADE PLATINUM PACS

• Delivers Cascade’s best clean with a premium, advanced triple action formula that helps prevent residue on your dishes, and even filming on your machine.
• Scrubs away tough 24 hour stuck-on food.
• Eliminates the need to pre-wash dishes.
• Has the Grease Fighting Power of Dawn. Source

I must say that any product that can get me out of the kitchen and back to my family faster is definitely a winner to me!

• It’s more than just a great-tasting recipe, but also perfect presentation. Sparkling dishes, shining flat ware and spot-free glasses truly let you put your best food forward with culinary creations that pop!

• “The easiest recipes pop with unexpected, gourmet presentations.  Drizzle bright sauces on sparkling white plates or layer desserts in crystal-clean glassware. Keep your presentation sparkling with Cascade Platinum, which keeps dishes perfect for anytime entertaining and impromptu guests.”

Soft Scrub #4-in-1ToiletCare Review and Giveaway

I recently became a Purex Insider which I am super excited about! As a Purex Insider I am afforded the opportunity to try out new products and review them.  I recently received the new Soft Scrub 4-in-1 Toilet Care, a toilet cleaner that cleans and freshens for up to 4 weeks.

Soft Scrub 4-in-1 Toilet Care comes in two scents, Alpine Fresh and Sapphire Water. I received the Alpine Fresh scent.  It cleans, prevents build up, fights toilet ring and  freshens for up to 4 weeks – all this for less than $2.00 and is available at Walmart. Since I regularly shop at Walmart and keep a close eye on my families budget, this product was right up my alley.

Unlike other toilet bowl rim hangers that don't stay in place or that dissolve too quickly, Soft Scrub 4-in-1 Toilet Care provides long lasting cleaning and freshening thanks to its unique design and advance formula.The plastic cage keeps the product in place and allows water to activate the cleaner with each flush. So make sure you place the product in the "stream" of water for the product to work its best.

When  I first opened the package I was concern that my entire bathroom would smell like a pine tree for the next 4 weeks. Luckily once it was installed the "Fresh" part of Alpine Fresh prevailed. I hadn't told my hubby about the product and he loved the smell of the 4- in-1 Toilet Care. I have been using this product for over a week now and although I started with a clean toilet so I can't attest to it's ability to clean the toilet it certainly has prevented buildup and keep our toilet fresh! 

As my frequent readers know I have two young boys who are very inquisitive so I opted to reserve this particular product for our private master bath. Although the product is incased in plastic I would recommend you use caution when using it around young children.

Purex Insiders, Soft Scrub and Your Unexpected Beauty would like you to be among the first to try Soft Scrub 4-in-1 Toilet Care or any of their other products and have generously offered two of my readers a chance to win ONE FREE PRODUCT COUPON (valued at $3.39)!

Pantene Pro-V® Truly Natural- REVIEW

When my hair was permed Pantene hair products were a staple in my hair care routine , fortunately for me Pantene has created a line that is tailored to my hairs current needs. I recently had the opportunity to try out Pantene Truly Natural Line a  line of products designed to help manage your natural hair.

First up Pantene Pro-V® Truly Natural Clarifying Shampoo which is designed to gently cleanse your hair’s unique structure and remove buildup—leaving it shiny, clean and refreshed. I really put it to the test, I used the Clarifying Shampoo after having braids in my hair for over three weeks. It definitely stood up to the significant amount of product and dirt residue. As you can see in the picture above it does not generate a ton of suds, but surely left my hair and scalp clean without stripping it of all it's moisture.

Following the Clarifying Shampoo I applied  Pantene Pro-V® Truly Natural Deep Conditioner  which is an oil-enriched conditioner that moisturizes and detangles natural hair. My hair thrives off oil so I was excited to try it! While the bottle does not tell you a specific amount of time to keep the conditioner on I coated my strands with the conditioner put on a plastic cap and sat under my hooded dryer for 20 minutes. Detangling was a breeze and once I rinsed the product out  my hair felt super moisturized and manageable. 

Pantene Pro-V® Truly Natural Defining Curls Custard works with your hair’s unique structure to define curls and control frizz up to 24 hours, even in humid weather. This styling custard leaves curls manageable and feeling soft. I rounded out my first experience with this product line by doing a Wash and Go style applying the Defining Curl Custard and allowing it to dry completely. It left me with defined curls and minimal frizz although it does claim that your hair would be manageable and soft there was an initial crunch feel that I eliminated by gently scrunching my hair leaving my hair touch-ably soft. Honestly I rarely wear my hair in a Wash and Go style, but instead wear a Flat Twist Out, well I added the custard to my usual routine and boy did it make a difference not only did my twist out stay define through an entire cookout, but it looked  great even days later! 

Pantene Pro-V® Truly Natural Co-Wash Cleansing Conditioner instantly cleanses, conditions, and detangles hair in one easy step without stripping the hair’s natural moisture. This low-lathering formula refreshes unmanageable curls and helps control frizz, leaving hair soft and shiny after use. OMG this is my absolutely favorite product from the line not only was it great in the cleaning department but it made detangling, which is usually a nightmare after a Wash and Go, a cake walk. I didn't have time to deep condition afterwards and my hair remained super moisturized for a entire week of me NOT re moisturizing my hair.

Overall I give the line two thumbs up and will be adding them to product arsenal!

FYSIKO LASHES

Every time I look into the sweet faces of my adorable sons and handsome husband I am reminded of one thing I always longed for LONG LASHES. How in the world did all the men in my life end up with these long and thick lashes that I could only dream to have. For so long I wanted to try an Eyelash Growth Serum, but couldn't convince the hubby that it was a warranted purchase. Fortunately for me I have been given a complimentary bottle of  Fysiko, a growth serum that can be used on both the upper, lower lashes and your eyebrows. I will be using the product and sharing my results with you here on my blog.

Before I tried the product here are a few questions I wanted answered:


Q. Can I use FYSIKO with extension?
A. Yes! You Can!

Q. How is it different from LATISSE?
A. Fysiko is made with natural ingredients, doesn't need prescription and it is cheaper.

Q. Is FYSIKO safe for contact lenses?
A. Yes, put contact lenses on 10 min. after applying FYSIKO.

Q. How long until I see results?
A. First results may be seen in 4-6 weeks, depends on the person, full results of FYSIKO will be seen in 16 weeks.

Day 1 

For the past two weeks I have been applying Fysiko on my upper and lower lashes nightly, and have had no ill side effects to date. Make sure to check back here for an update on my progress. I am on my way to longer and fuller Eyelashes!!!

hCG1234 Drops Update and Giveaway!

As you may have read in my initial post about the 90 Day Challenge with Creative Bioscience, I have been using their product hCG 1234 in an effort to lose weight and things have been going pretty well. At my last update I had lost 22.4 lbs, since than I lost an additional 5lbs and have been working hard to maintain the lose while I go through phase three of the process. During phase three you stop taking the drops and slowly introduce some foods back into your diet (excluding breads and sweets). The reason for this phase is so your body doesn't become accustomed to the drops thus hindering your weight loss progress. The diet protocol states that you should take at least a three week break from the drops.

So that's where I am at the end of phase three holding on tightly to my 27 lb weight loss and ready to gear up again for round two. In round two I am challenging myself to out do myself. :) My goal is simply to do even better than I did the last round even if that is just 1 lb more than I lost last time I will be happy. I do believe going in the second time around I am wiser and now know what to do and what not to do, the obvious being not to cheat it's so not worth it.  I am looking forward to sharing my progress with you.

Speaking of you I would love to have you join me on this weight loss  journey and share your success story here on Your Unexpected Beauty! Three lucky readers will win a 30 day supply of  hCG 1234 to join me on my second round of drops!

Enter to win a 30 day supply by filling out the Rafflecopter below. Good luck! Giveaway runs from March 27th at 12:01am to April 11th  at 11:59PM EST.

Wired & Fired a Pottery Playhouse

1000 Marietta Street

Suite 104

Atlanta 30318

The boys and I had the pleasure of attending a blogger event at wired & fired a pottery playhouse. Initially when we began to settle in for our pottery painting session I became a bit concerned whether this was an appropriate event  for my soon to be 3 & 4 year olds. The staff quickly put me at ease sharing that they recommend it for for children three and above. My boys also showed me that they were capable of creating their own little masterpieces as well. Although the control and neat freak in me was screaming to get out and take their brushes from their paint drenched hands and show them how to "properly" do it, but I subdued her and tried to focus on my own piece of pottery. For anyone else with my same concerns the paint easily washed away from both their hands and clothes so RELAX and enjoy your time at wired & fired!

Sunday 12pm - 6pm

Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus Recap

Like so many other parents and overall circus lovers we braved the horrific traffic and congestion that surrounded Phillips Arena in Atlanta GA on Saturday. The things we do for our kids. But nonetheless, we made it albeit 30 minutes and slightly annoyed. Our frowns were quickly turned upside down who could stay made at the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus.

MOST ANTICIPATED MOMENT- I was most excited to see the tigers and lions we got there just in time to see the END or their performance. One man in a cage with four lions and three tigers it was awesome.

Photo Courtesy of Field Entertainment

NAIL BITING MOMENT- OMG the Motorcycle performed by the Torres Family was impressive enough with just four motorcycles reaching speeds up to 65 mph in a 16 ft steel sphere, but when the number continually climbed from four to eight riders the family and I was on the edge of our seats.

Photo Courtesy of Field Entertainment

 WARM & FUSSY MOMENT- I blinked and all of a sudden the Big Top was filled with some of the most talented little cats, dogs, ponies and llamas you will ever see. The great part is most of these pint sized animal were rescued from pounds and shelters. Youtube videos had nothing on these little performers.

Photo Courtesy of Field Entertainment

AMAZING MOMENT- As the elephants paraded around the stage it was amazing how poised they were. You think an animal that large would be clumping around instead they looked regal.

Photo Courtesy of Field Entertainment

SURPRISING MOMENTS- It's weird but I was drawn to the Ringmaster Johnathan Lee Iverson, Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey African American Ringmaster and youngest, was very charismatic and demanded your attention.

Photo Courtesy of Field Entertainment

Overall the entire family enjoyed themselves in the end and I hope that you and your family will do the same. Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus will be in the Atlanta area until 03/03. Click here to see when they will be near you.

Luckily for me my boys love yogurt and after trying Chobani Champions have become quite the yogurt snobs. I guess they know good quality when they taste it. Chobani Champions is the first Greek Yogurt made for kids! Like all Chobani products, Champions is made with only natural ingredients, like low-fat milk and real fruit. Plus it’s packed with protein, bone-building calcium, probiotics and 20% of the Daily Value for vitamin D. Champions is also gluten free, Kosher Certified.

Champions is available in yummy, kid-friendly flavors  Very Berry, Honey-Nana, Orange Vanilla and Vanilla Chocolate Chunk. My youngest loves the Vanilla Chocolate Chunk, which he simply calls the Chocolate Yogurt. While my oldest son enjoys the Very Berry for it's super fruity flavor.  Each tasty variety is sold in convenient single-flavor four packs. Plus at only 100 calories per 3.5oz cup, Champions is a great snack for the health conscious mom and dad too! I must admit the hubby and I have sneaked a cup or two when the boys weren't looking. Every cup is bursting with flavor, super creamy and just the right size for the little hands and there little tummies!

Now it's your chance to proved your little ones with greek yogurt made just for them. Two lucky readers will receive one variety case of Champions cups containing six 4-packs (for a total of 24 cups).
