Congratulations Rita G!

If you’ve been reading for awhile, you know by now that I’m a wipe-junky. I think they are one of the best cleaning inventions I’ve seen in my lifetime. They make my “jobs” so much easier, are super convenient and they get the job done even better than the alternative!

Just in time for cold and flu season, I was offered to try out 3M Scotch-Brite™ Botanical Disinfecting Wipes by participating in their “Keep Toys Clean Scotch-Brite Botanical Disinfecting Wipes Challenge.” I told them, “you had me at wipes”. 😉

If you have yet to try these, let me familiarize you! 3M Scotch-Brite™ Botanical Disinfecting Wipes kill 99.9% of household germs* and cold & flu viruses leaving surfaces like counters, tables and toys residue-free.  Surprisingly, most disinfecting wipes that are used in homes or schools on any non-porous surface, require rinsing after wiping.  However, the “no-rinse” feature found in the Scotch-Brite™ Botanical Disinfecting Wipes provides a safe and effective way to  clean surfaces and toys alike.

• Leaves no residue
• No rinse required
• Made from botanically pure plant extracts
• Clean easy, breathe easy

*Kills over 99.9% of household germs: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella enterica, Staphylococcus aureus, Methicillin Resistant S. aureus (MRSA), Enterobacter aerogenes, Influenza A virus, Rhinovirus type 37. Sanitizes hard non-porous non-food contact surfaces of Staphylococcus aureus and Enterobacter aerogenes in the presence of light or moderate soil load with a 30-second contact time.

It seems like everyone around us has the flu right now, so we’ve been extra diligent in frequent hand-washing as well as keeping surfaces and toys GERM FREE! 3M Scotch-Brite™ Botanical Disinfecting Wipes make that job a breeze! I’m keeping my family healthier this winter by using them them on everything from remote controls to doorknobs; from bathroom sinks to computers and everything in between!  In fact, we recently purchased Kambell a new Calico Critters house (she collects these) and added it to her “Calico Critters land” which we have set up on top of storage units (shown above). The wipes are great for not only keeping her toys clean, but also for cleaning and disinfecting those countertops. I love that they don’t use harsh chemicals and the smell is pleasant, not overbearing – even a 6 year old can do it! 🙂

I was provided a duplicate prize pack for the purpose of this review. All opinions remain my own.

Did you know that enough women to fill the entire city of Los Angeles suffer from constipation regularly? – that’s 4 million women. However, constipation ranks as one of the top women’s health issues women are least likely to discuss, according to a new national survey from the makers of Dulcolax. What’s more, it also accounts for 2.5 million physician visits a year.

Dulcolax Laxative Tablets for Women have a comfort coating that protects the stomach and helps women’s bodies relieve constipation. It gives women the gentle help they want, and the strength they need for effective constipation relief. You can go here to find product coupons.

Have you heard of keratin hair smoothing treatments that are offered at most top quality salons? They leave your hair beautiful and smooth but can cost hundreds of dollars and take up your entire day. Well, now,Suave is introducing its own keratin-infused treatment you can use in the comfort of your own home for a fraction of the price and it works JUST as well as the treatments offered at top salons! Suave Professionals Keratin Infusion Smoothing Kit leaves hair smooth, shiny, and manageable for 30 days. Formulated with Keralock Technology, it infuses hair with keratin protein. Check out the savings calculator to see how much you will save when you choose Suave instead of going to the salon. Also, be sure to view out the how-to videos to learn how to use the kit to get the best results.

One of the main issues I have with my hair is that it wants to be curly. Not the pretty kind of curly with luscious ringlets…it’s more like the frizzy 80’s style kind of curly! Needless to say, I work pretty hard to tame my tresses and personally cannot WAIT to try this line. I have shiny hair-envy and this product looks VERY promising – not to mention easy on the wallet!

THE GIVEAWAY:

(1) Coupon Katarina Reader will win a set of Suave Professionals New Keratin Infusion Color Care Shampoo & Smoothing Conditioner and one $100 Walmart gift card!

(You could even use your gift card to complete your set of Keratin Infusion products and purchase the Keratin Kit along with the other styling and maintenance products that Suave Professionals’ Keratin Infusion offers.)
