The Many Uses of Ivory


Hey guys! Todays post is about Ivory soap. I recently got to try it out from Influenster. Check it out! http://www.influenster.com


Here is a summary of the soap. 
Boring? Read ahead!
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!  


Its so pure it floats! Thats pretty nice! One thing I really like about Ivory is that its so gentle. Since its so gentle, you can pretty much use it for everything!


Dont know how to use your Ivory? Well a plus is that it has many creative uses like...
       * Body Cleanser 
       * Facial Cleanser
       * Clothes Stain Remover (food stains, ring around collar, etc)
       * Laundry Flakes
       * Soap Carving Project

I personally really like using this soap bar to rub-clean my clothes. I find it removes stains really well. I sometimes use it as body soap too but I prefer liquid soap more. 


Ivory soap has such nice value. First off there is many ways to use it! Already worth your money from there. But did you know its one of the least expensive soap brands out there?

I really like Ivory soap. It doesnt have an overwhelming smell, has many uses, & is very pure. It can defaintly compare better to other soap brands!

Quaker Soft Baked Oatmeal Cookies Review!

Hey guys!
Today I'm doing a review on these Quaker Oatmeal Cookies!
I got these to try from the Influenster voxbox.
Go sign up here! http://www.influenster.com


Here is a review from the website-
Boring? My review is below!
Enjoy chewy, soft-baked cookies in a family-favorite flavor! With wholesome Quaker Oats and delicious raisins, you’ll never remember they came from our kitchen instead of yours.

-Made with Whole Grain Quaker Oats
-Individually packaged
-Provides a good source of fiber
-Contains 6 grams of total fat per serving

You can find Quaker Soft Baked Oatmeal Cookies at most major retailers.
Suggested retail price: $2.69 for a box of 6 cookies
 So I think these cookies are a good idea. They are soft, very healthy (its made of oatmeal!), & the price is pretty good. But the flavor we got, Raisins, were not that nice. Personally I hate raisins.

Pros-
Very healthy
Soft
Cookie size is worth the price
Price is nice

Cons-
Hate the rasisins

I really want to try out the Chocolate & Walnut flavor! That sounds great!

Best Freebie Sites!


Hey! So this post is about my top sites to get freebies. I just love getting free stuff in my mail:)

So the first site is Influenster.
On this site, you fill surveys about yourself & earn badges.
If your badges fit into a critera, you get a Voxbox to review!!
A Voxbox is the box they give out filled with FULL-sized samples. Full sized!!
When you get the box you go on the website again to fill out a survey on all of the products.

By the way, they have beauty voxboxes alot!
This is probaly my favorite out of all the word-of-mouth companies!
http://www.influenster.com/



On Bzzagent you, again, fill out surveys about yourself.
Then if you fit into the critera, you can choose to join campaigns.
Say you join a Bic razor campaign(which they do have currently). Well you get the razor sent to you to review!
But one thing I dislike is that I NEVER get picked for campaigns!


I saved the best for last! It is just a freebie site that is updated all the time. I really trust this site to find the best freebies out there!
