Back to School with Bic Xtra - Fun #2 Pencils

Oh what fun these Bic #2 Pencils would be for kids going back to school. These look so hip, colorful and fun.

I think Bic brand is the best pencil of all times.

These are New BIC Xtra-Fun #2 pencils with stripes. These do not write in color but the barrels are striped in  two toned colors red, yellow, green, purple and orange.

The pencils have break resistant lead with durable erasers. I found that the pencils bend a bit but don't break. How awesome it that! I'm sure Mom's would love that they are PMA certified non toxic.

My grand kids were so excited to use the Bic Xtra-Fun pencils. They did a lot of drawings and writing while I made lunch. I noticed that the lead wasn't worn down after all the drawing and writing they did.

I received in my bzzkit 

• One 10-pack of BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils with Stripes to get your kids excited about writing
• An additional 10-pack of BIC XTRA-Fun #2 Pencils with Stripes to open and pass out to friends
• Pass-along coupons for $1 off any BIC XTRA-Fun pencil product. 
• We tried the product for free thanks to BIC.

Folgers coffee is the Best part of Waking up!

There is nothing like starting the day with a hot cup of Folgers Coffeehouse Blend.

The Coffeehouse blend is a medium-dark flavor which has a smooth but not to bold taste.

The taste is rich and the aroma is perfect. It's my "Wake me up coffee"

New Always Radiant Pads Review

My go to brand of pads have been Always. 

So I was excited to try out these new always radiant pads.

This free sample box came with 15 pads.

I love having the protection I need throughout my day without any worries that I'm going to have a leakage issue.

The always radiant are made with FlexFoam it is soft  and makes them easy to move with you. These give you 100% leak-free protection and absorbs 10x it's weight up to 8 hours a day. 

These have a printed design on the pad of flowers. The center of pad has these small holes which lets you breathe and stay fresher longer. I like that they have wings. I don't ever buy pads without wings because I need the added protection they give you.

I had the freedom to wear what I wanted during that time of month.

I love the wrapper its bright, colorful and fun.

I received these to test and review through  Crowdtap.

Beets BLU Wireless Heart Rate Monitor Review

Beets BLU Wireless Heart Rate Monitor will help you stay on track by giving you the most accurate heart rate reading. 

You just need to download one of these apps Endomondo, Runkeeper Map My Run or other apps.

 This is compatible with iPhone 4s and later and can be use with iPad 3 or later. 

I received Beets BLU Heart Rate Monitor to test and review. 

Its easy to put on. You need to wet it with water and place right under your chest.

 I had issues when I first started to use it. I couldn't get it to connect for days. 

After one of my cardio workouts I wanted to see if I could get it to work to track my weight lifting heart rate. I was really sweaty and when I put it on it connected! I was excited and it worked great keeping track. 

My next workout I couldn't get it to connect even wetting it a lot. So I think maybe if I would buy the gel it may get a better connection.

 Out of five stars I would give this three.

 I recommend if you do buy the Beets Blu Heart Rate Monitor buy the gel too.

Tropicana Review

There is nothing like drinking a large glass of Tropicana Vitamin C and Zinc Orange Juice at breakfast.  Its my family's best way to start our day.

Tropicana is made with 100%  fresh oranges without any added sugar, water or even preservatives.

 This has 3 X's the vitamin C than regular orange juice. 

I like that because my family sometimes needs to get more vitamin C and with winter time here it supports our immune systems.

My family enjoyed the fresh taste of Tropicana. They liked it so much that I found them having a glass through the day not just at breakfast. 

I chose the no pulp option because my son prefers this kind but you can also get it with pulp and my husband and I love that. 

Look at the color. It's the color of sunshine.

Ore-Ida Tater Tots

 I received a coupon  for free Ore-Ida Tater Tots thanks to Influenster. 

One of my Badge activities for this was to do a video or blog about my unique recipe.

 I must say I don't do well coming up with my own recipes I'm more of a recipe follower. 

I cooked up some Italian sausage and baked the Ore-Ida Tater Tots and added the sausage to the top then added some shredded cheese and put back into the oven until the cheese melted.

My teenage son and his four friends loved it! They ate them all. They are so tasty and makes me remember my childhood. I love Tater tots.

Kiss True Volume Lashes Review

I was impressed with applying Kiss True Volume Lashes.

 I don't wear lashes very often but if I do I will be buying these. 

They look so natural like they are my own lashes.

I used Kiss Strip Lash Adhesive in clear.

They were a perfect fit for me so I didn't need to cut them. Before you apply them do make sure they fit you. I added some adhesive and wait a while for them to almost dry before I applied them. 

This is the after pic. Don't they look so natural? 

I tested KISS True Volume Lashes for free, but all opinions are your own thanks to Influenster

Neutrogena Product Review

I believe Neutrogena is getting so much better in making their products. I'm liking the results I'm seeing using Neutrogena. 

I was hand picked to test and review a few products through Crowdtap.

Neutrogena Healthy Skin Anti-Aging Perfector is the first tinted moisturizer that combines Retinol,  Broad Spectrum SPF 20 sunscreen, moisturizer and blendable sheer coverage. 

I was able to  apply  very easily and smoothly. As you can see in the pic above its creamy and does match the color on product.  

The above pic is my before and after. The coverage was great and  hid many of my imperfection giving my skin a natural look.

Neutrogena has 6 shades that work across skin tones.

I also received MoistureSmooth Color Stick in Pink Nude shade #100 I loved how this went on like butter and its because its make with fruit extracts mango and shea butter. The color last for a few hours and looks great.

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel-Cream Review

 I have been using Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel-Cream for two weeks and really have noticed  a brightness in my skin. It has moisturized my skin but didn't leave my skin oily. My skin is also softer to the touch. 

This Gel-Cream is light and rich and didn't leave my skin greasy. 

I would recommend this product.
