BzzAgent Campaign Time! AMDRO® PowerFlex® Pest & Weed System

I was very lucky to be selected to be a part of this BzzAgent campaign. My yard has decided it wants to be the safe haven for dandelions and clover this year. Also, being in Vegas, we have issue with roaches and spiders (Black Widows yikes!) in our yards and sometimes they creep into the house too. Scorpions as well. And ants. Okay all kinds of gross creepy crawly things.

So...this is the system I received for review:

I haven't gotten to really use it yet. I read through the instructions and looked at the different cartridges I received.

I actually received one additional weed cartridge because it was attached to the back of the sprayer. :D

I love the concept behind this system. You fill the container with a gallon of water and lock the cartridge you need into the sprayer. The water mixes in with it and it sprays out as you hold the trigger. You need to use something else? No prob. Just unlock the cartridge, put the cap back on, flush out the sprayer by holding the trigger down for 10 seconds then pop the new one in. 

Eazy.Peazy.Lemon.Squeazy.

I'm going to go out and spray the buggie one this weekend for sure along with the weed killer. I'm even going to attack that stupid one popping up through the drive area in front of the condo...even though the HOA is supposed to take care of that one because technically it is on the street. Yea. They yell at me for weeds yet they can't take care of theirs. #that'sawholeotherrant

I'll update the progress of this endeavor! I can't believe how excited I am about spraying weeds lol

TaaaaaaaaaaaaaastyKakes!!!!!!!

Okay - if you know anything about me you know that I'm not generally a huge chocolate lover...with one caveat.  I...love...chocolate...and...peanut...butter. That being said, I was BEYOND thrilled to receive a sample of the Reese's Peanut Butter TastyKake in my Influenster SpringVoxBox. Holy SCHMO!

I had a crap day yesterday. Busy as all get out and I was having a mental breakdown on the phone with my mom on the way home. I got home, had that box in the mail, and BAM instant smile when I saw this little nugget of goodness sitting in the box. It was over 100 degrees out yesterday. One care in the world was not given by me that the cake was partially stuck to the package. I ripped it open and started nomming. It was good. Not super peanut buttery...but it wasn't overly chocolaty either so I was happy. Yes, I licked the frosting off the package. Its all part of the experience. ;)

One of the things I liked most about it is that it was moist. Even though it could very well have dried out like Spongebob on a desert island with the heat we have here, it was moist and yummy. But not...squishy and gross. It was perfect. Like that one in a million cake you bake that you wish happened every time. That was this Tasty Kake.

So...all in all...YUM! I suggest picking them up if you like a little bit of peanut butter and chocolate. Not something to knock you out and scream at you - but just enough to satisfy that craving you may have.

Even though this was a sample sent to me, the options are my own. That being said.....

Colgate Optic White Cleaning System - Review

Good morning everyone. I know back when I posted my initial Influenster package opening I said I would post about my teeth a week later. Welllllllllllllll yea. Its now.

If you remember the original post and video, you saw I received the Colgate Optic White toothbrush, paste & mouth wash from Influenster at no cost to me for review. Well, this is my review. Like it or not ;)

First the tooth brush. I...love...the...tooth...brush. It is amazingsauce. It feels like the bristles are dancing all over my teeth and massaging my gums at the same time. I like the tongue scraper thingie on the back. I don't have to ruin my bristles by scrubbing my tongue. I will definitely purchase this tooth brush again. It is A++++ in my book.

The toothpaste. Is good. Its not overly minty. It makes my teeth feel clean. I was using the Colgate Total Advanced Whitening previously. I can get a much bigger tube of the Total kind for the same price (roughly) as the Optic White. While I do believe Optic got my teeth whiter FASTER than the Total, I'm not sure if it actually took it to a whiter smile overall. I don't know that I would go out of my way to repurchase the Optic unless I had a coupon or it was on sale.

The mouthwash. Okay this stuff tastes disgusting. Its basically like swishing with hydrogen peroxide. I did like the foamy thing it did getting the gunk from between my teeth. I'm HORRIBLE at flossing. I admit it. I hate flossing (I'd rather do my taxes and scrub the toilets.) But the taste needs serious improvement. I had to rinse my mouth out two or three times with water before bed because the taste was that horrific. I would try it again if they did something about the taste.

On to the actual before and after pics:

This is the before:

Here is the after:

I know its hard to tell because the pics are kind of blurry and I have my morning toast stuck on the bottom teeth this morning...but I can see a difference. I drink about a pot of coffee a day, so seeing a difference is a good thing. Its not a HUGE difference, but there is one there. I'm happy with the results.

So the final breakdown. On a scale of 1 to 5 with 1 being sucky and 5 being fantastical:

Colgate Optic White Toothbrush: 5++++

Colgate Optic White Toothpaste: 4

Colgate Optic White Mouth Wash: 3 (would have been higher if the taste was better)

There you have it folks. 

My opinions are my own no matter how I receive a product. With that...
