Purex Natural Elements Review & Giveaway

Continuing with the my theme of lately, I have another wonderful Purex Insiders giveaway for you, and well, a review of the product! I received a bottle of Purex Natural Elements in Tropical Splash along with coupons to share with you!

TropicalSplashKitABOUT: Purex Natural Elements Tropical Splash Detergent has the new DirtLift Action that seems to be showing up on Purex products everywhere! The Tropical Splash fragrance is new to the Natural Elements line and smells like exotic fruits (such as pineapple and coconut) to take your nose on a tropical vacation! The Natural Elements brand continues to deliver bright, white, and clean clothes like you expect from Purex! The great scent and formula of Natural Elements Tropical Splash is gentle enough for sensitive skin. What’s more, the biodegradable formula promotes green cleaning practices. Now that’s awesome! It’s available in 50oz, 75oz, and 100oz bottles. Use their store locator to find a retailer near you.

TropicalSplashDetergentREVIEW: This past weekend I went ahead and opened my bottle of Purex Natural Elements Tropical Splash and immediately was not that impressed with the scent. It is very strong and albeit tropical, but not what I want my clothes to smell like. It smells like tropical candy. I had my boyfriend smell it and he didn’t care for it much either. Hmm. So, I tossed some towels in the wash to give it a try…they smelled better going from the washer to the dryer. The scent softened. After the dryer, no smell was left, so I’d recommend if you want a clean smell, to have dryers sheets. Maybe it is because we are using the clear dryer bar? All in all I love that the product is green and would buy more of their Natural Elements products, but I don’t think this scent is right for our house. If it is right for yours, please enter my giveaway via the rafflecopter and definitely enter Purex’s sweepstakes.

Soft Scrub Advanced Surface Review & Giveaway

So far this year, Purex Insiders has been very good to me! Currently, I have two new products in the house from them!

The first one I’ll be sharing is the NEW Soft Scrub Advanced Surface!! It comes in a sleek black bottle with an easy to use twist and pour top. They claim this is the better way to clean premium surfaces. This rinse-free gel cleans and polishes granite and marble countertops, glass cooktops, and stainless steel! Soft Scrub Advanced Surface is tough on stains, but gentle on delicate surfaces. It’s easy to use…just apply to the surface and wipe away with a sponge, cloth, or paper towel!

SoftScrubAdvancedKitI tested the new Soft Scrub Advanced Surface on our glass cooktop earlier today and it did a pretty good job. I have to say it smells great, too, kind of like lemons and not chemical! It says to apply and wipe off, or let sit a minute on tough stains. Well, it did get most of them off, but I sure wondered if I was too impatient with my minutes… Other than the one stain…it worked great…to just wipe off, well with a little bit of scrubbing. It’s awesome that the product does not leave a residue!

SoftScrubAdvancedSurfaceSoft Scrub is having a Be Happy, Don’t Worry sweepstakes! You can enter here! One 1st place winner will receive $1,000 and a year’s supply of Soft Scrub coupons. There will also be 250 2nd place winners who will receive one coupon for a free Soft Scrub Advanced. Pretty sweet! Ends 4/5/13 at 3pm PST.

And now for my giveaway! There will be TWO winners! Each will receive a free product coupon for a bottle of Soft Scrub Advanced Surface (or any Soft Scrub Product)! The Jubar Sharing giveaway ends on 4/12/13 at 12:00am. Enter in the Rafflecopter application below. Good luck!

New Dial Coconut Water Review & Giveaway

Purex Insiders and Dial provided me with yet another great opportunity! I received a bottle of the NEW Dial Coconut Water Body Wash and some free product coupons to share.

First some information about the NEW Dial Coconut Water Body Wash! It’s the first of its kind to contain coconut water for clean, healthy, hydrated skin. There are fresh hints of green, floral and coconut that might just whisk your mind away to a distant island shore without ever leaving the shower. New Dial Coconut Water Body Wash can be found at your local retailer. You can find out all about the Dial brand on their Facebook page or at dialsoap.com.DialCoconutWaterMy Review: I’ve been using this New Dial Coconut Water Body Wash since this past weekend and I’m loving it. I love the scent…it’s light and clean. And, my skin feels great after I shower. It’s not extra moisturizing me though, I still need lotion on my legs and arms, but really that’s just me. I do love the scent, but it hasn’t been whisking me off to a secluded tropical island in the mornings…maybe that’s because I’m too tired in the morning or I’m in a hurry? The size of the bottle is great as a family body wash, or just as a great fresh body wash to last a while for one. :) I have to say, I’ll definitely consider buying it again in the future!

Zico Latte

An interesting surprise appeared in the mail on Friday…Zico Latte Coconut Water! I really can’t remember why I received this 12 pack, but I must’ve entered a giveaway of theirs when I lived in SC.

Zico’s message said, “Better (really) late than never.” So, I gather it’s been quite a while since I entered..but I knew Pete would LOVE this!

ZicoLatteThis is Zico’s newest flavor with just the right blend of hydration and caffeination! And, with the long wait, they just want me to provide my feedback! Awe! I did look up on the Zico website and a 12 pack would cost about $26.00. WOW! Zico Coconut Water is packed with as much potassium as a banana, 5 electrolytes (sodium, magnesium, calcium, potassium, and phosphorus), low acid, and all natural!

Pete tried the Zico Latte on Saturday, one in the morning and one at night. After the morning one that wasn’t chilled, he said it tastes like a yohoo! Interesting. On his second trial with a chilled one, he said he likes the taste and it’s a good drink. He can’t quite describe the taste, but that it is good. Well, let’s just say, it does provide enough caffeine as Pete ended up staying up until 2am, while I went to bed before 11pm. Heh.

I’m not a fan of coconut water or coffee flavored things, so the review had to come from my boyfriend! If you have Zico near you, know they do have other flavors (Natural, Chocolate, Pineapple, Mango, and Passion Fruit), so you might find one for you! Or, if this one sounds like something you’d drink, give the new Zico Latte a try!

SoftScrubKitI received the Soft Scrub Total All Purpose Bath & Kitchen Lemon Cleanser. My boyfriend cleaned the kitchen with the Soft Scrub earlier this week and he said it worked really well and had a nice clean scent. There were not any tough stains in the kitchen for him to clean up, so can’t speak to that at this time. Glad he liked it! I look forward to using it to clean in the bathroom!!!

Feb 2013 Movies Watched

Below are the movies I watched in February 2013. I decided to do something different. I listed if it was rewatch, Redbox rental, theater, or own in parentheses. The rest I watched from Netflix. Enjoy my thoughts on the movies…little or a lot!

Shakespeare In Love (rewatch) – I just wanted to rewatch this as it had been a while. It still was good.

ShakespeareInLovePost Impact (rewatch) – Pete picked this out, and quickly I realized I once watched this on Syfy or something. It was alright, but nothing special.

PostImpactIdiocracy (own, rewatch) – I watch this every now and again, because I LOVE IT and I OWN IT! This movie is freaking awesome. I can’t even praise it enough!

IdiocracyTotal Recall (2012) (Redbox) – Finally we watched the redo, different Total Recall…and it was pretty good. Of course, sometimes science fiction is unbelievable, but that’s why it’s scifi, right. Cuz toward the end……..I sure started to question the realism. But, I still liked it.

TotalRecallChariots of the Gods – This is a documentary about “ancient astronauts.” I actually do not really remember it, so I can’t recommend it. I saw some from the Discovery channel or History channel that were much better if you are interested in this theory about aliens visiting the Earth for thousands of years.

ChariotsoftheGodsUnderworld: Rise of the Lycans (own, rewatch) – Again, I’m a fan of the Underworld serious, although my favs are the first and this one. I think every time I want Sonja to live, but we know how this one goes.

UnderworldRiseofLycansMadagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted (Redbox) – Well, these movies are cute. A good family movie.

Madagascar3Pizza My Heart – Oh, this was very cute. And, I remembered, I think I saw it before. Also, I think Shiri Appleby is a cutie. So, it’s about two families that run pizza restaurants and have a grudge! You guessed it…a modern day Romeo & Juliet, but no sad ending.

PizzaMyHeartAll’s Faire in Love – The setting is a summer long Medieval Faire set in MI. Reviews weren’t that good, but I watched it and enjoyed it for what it was. I liked it. It’s nothing I’d rewatch, but I recognized some of the actors. Christina Ricci and Matthew Lillard are in it.

AllsFaireInLoveAnswer This! – A young man is following in his father’s footsteps. Only to realize he doesn’t want to. I liked this one, but the ending just kind of…well it left it all wide open. I guess that was the point. It was a bit slow…and I would not watch this again.

AnswerThisJerk Theory – Such a teenager movie, his heart gets broken, determines being a jerk is the way to go. Of course, to get the right girl, he has to learn how to not be a jerk anymore! Ha…yep…I liked it, but it’s no love.

JerkTheoryPirates! Band of Misfits (Redbox) – This was really good. Very nicely done. I didn’t love it. I don’t need to own it….but…it was really good and I recommend it.

PiratesBandofMisfitsThe Lucky One (Redbox) – Good movie…they both sure were lucky. It’s nice in the end that everything could be figured out and worked out and all for the good.

TheLuckyOne16 to Life - I watched it, because it was going to leave Netflix soon. Cute…16 never been kissed kind of movie. Coming of age movie. It’s always fun when you lose a bit of innocence, but she sure learns a lot in one day!

16toLifeThe Very Thought of You – Joseph Fiennes….and he wasn’t the best character…lol..but he was the main reason I watched this. Chick flick with a happy ending. No surprise there. 3 guys 1 girl…flashbacks. Enjoy!

TheVeryThoughtofYouHappy - This was a documentary. It was pretty good. What does it mean to be happy? How can you be happy? Can you control being happy? Happy psychology! I liked it and learned from it. Definitely going to try to look at the world differently. Already wanted to, this was just a push.

HappyWarm Bodies (theater) – My first movie at the theater this year. I liked it. It wasn’t anything spectacular and it was cute, just as I was told. I am not sure about the zombies eat brains and see the lives of the person who’s brains they are eating thing, but how else could they get flashbacks in there? I did like the concept of zombies curing themselves and of course, I’m a sucker for a love story. I was kind of expecting the skeleton zombies to be scarier and in the movie more…so that was a let down.

WarmBodiesThe Croods (theater) – Another movie at the theater, in the same month, in the same week! I was able to get into a sneak preview of this! It was beautifully animated and had an amazingly cute story. The characters were great. It was a bit funny, and had a good message. Don’t be afraid to go out in the world and try and see things! Now, I like Nicolas Cage, but I know not everyone does. Well, given that, I still think a few times he totally was Nicolas Cage and not his character. One last thing, it did make me think of Ice Age a tiny bit. Other than that, I highly recommend this movie, in particular to families and those that enjoy animated movies. In theaters 3/22/13.

TheCroodsPretty Ugly People – I can’t say this movie was quite what I thought it was. It was a bit slow building up to the actual story….but in the end all of the character learn something about themselves and they grow. Well, they only grow, because of a tragedy, but hey..that’s better than not growing.

PrettyUglyPeopleThe Facebook Obsession – A documentary that didn’t really give me what I thought it would out of it. I thought it might discuss why people get obsessed with Facebook, but it was more about how it came to be and what it is and where it is going. Meh.

TheFacebookObsessionBattleship (Redbox) – A good action flick about aliens attacking when the Navy is in the Pacific for a training exercise. It’s of course got some unbelievable scenes where you realize they shouldn’t have lived, but hey, it’s science fiction, so I tried to roll with it. I didn’t realize when I rented, but, I looked it up while watching that the lead guy was John Carter! And his brother is in True Blood!

BattleshipHotel Transylvania (Redbox) – LOVED IT! Funny, fun, and so gosh darn cute! I highly recommend this one. It’s not just for the kids! Trust me. Adam Sandler does a pretty good job of making one question if it’s really him as the father vampire. Some moments it shows through to confirm it is indeed him. Selena Gomez is cute as his daughter. And, really, all the characters are lovable. Even the zombies.

HotelTransylvaniaThanks for reading! Did you watch any of these or do you plan to?

Honey Bunches of Oats Tropical Blends Review & Giveaway

Purex Insiders and Honey Bunches of Oats provided me with another great opportunity! I received a box of the latest cereal by Honey Bunches of Oats Tropical Blends and some free product coupons.

HoneyBunchesofOats_TropicalBlendsKitFirst some information about the New Tropical Blends! It has crispy mango flavored flakes combined with real coconut shavings and coconut flavored granola clusters. It also has, per serving, 10g of Whole Grains, 120 Calories, and 6g Sugar. They have 4 wholesome grains, are heart healthy, and WIC eligible. Doesn’t that sound good enough to try? You can find all about the Honey Bunches of Oats brand on their Facebook page.

HoneyBunchesofOats_TropicalBlendsYesterday morning I gave the NEW! Honey Bunches of Oats Tropical Blends cereal a try. I poured myself a bowl and dug right in. First, I should mention, I love coconuts, but I do not like mangos at all. So, I was a bit apprehensive. My first taste was that it tasted tropical and different. I couldn’t really discern that it was mango flakes, but I could taste some coconut. All around the cereal is a bit too sweet and tropical for me…but I liked it. It will not likely be something I grab first, but I would eat it. Well, later that day, I had my boyfriend also try it. He loves mangos and coconuts, so I was hopeful he would like it more than me. One downfall, he’s not a cereal person. He tries it and what does he say? He likes it, he really likes it! He thought it was sweet, but it was good for him. He did not taste any coconut though.

Campbell’s Slow Kettle Style Soup Review

As a Smiley360 member I get to try out products from time to time and share coupons with friends. This time I got a Campbell’s Slow Kettle Style Soup in the mail – flavor was Braised Beef Stew. I believe that was one of my choices, as they were nice enough to ask and said they would try to accommodate. Well, included with the soup was a pair of yellow and green long socks and 10 $2 off coupons! I do not know the price of these in the store, but I saw a 75 cent off coupon in the paper, so I know these have to be good!

CampbellsSlowKettleSoup_Smiley260KitWell, one day when I was working from home, I decided to try the soup out! It’s easy, you take off the lid, peel off the aluminum top, then replace the lid and place in the microwave for the set time. I had to go a little longer with my microwave. And, then I had pipping hot soup!

CampbellsSlowKettleSoup_Smiley360I’m going to be honest here, it wasn’t the best to me. It was hot and it would do if there was nothing else to eat, but it sure didn’t wow me. Would I get them again? Ya, sure…but like I said, it would never be the first thing I grab. The meat in it was really good, but the soup part..meh….that was bland. And, well there was far too many potatoes and not enough other veggies. I liked my sandwich better than the soup, and finished that, but not the soup. Maybe I’m too picky? And, I for sure would try another flavor, when I get it again.

The socks aren’t really my color, but as part of the campaign they wanted me to wear the comfy socks to “slow down & savor.”  To have a “me” moment where I sit back and relax with my new socks! Here’s my moment:

CampbellsSlowDownMeMomentBut, if this post doesn’t deter you…go out and try Campbell’s Slow Kettle Style Soups! It definitely is hearty and would fill one up that eats the whole bowl. Click here for a $1 off coupon.

As a Smiley360 program, I received the soup, coupons, and socks free, and as always my thoughts and opinions are well, my own!

Jan 2013 Movies Watched

To start the new year off right, I watched the equivalent of almost one movie a day! Wow. Pete did watch six of them with me. Which ones do you think they are?

Footloose (2011) – Watching this really made me want to watch the original. Maybe I have, but I sure don’t remember. Anyway, I enjoyed this movie. It wasn’t great to me, but it was enjoyable…and like I said really made me want to watch the original with Kevin Bacon.

Footloose2011Love & Mary – This was super cute. Twin brothers…one Mary….however could this end up? Good twin, bad twin…oh you know which one will win!

LoveandMaryThe Caller – I have to say, I had to read the reviews to try to understand the ending. And, when I found out there was a something made in UK some time ago….oh how I wanted to watch that, but could not find it. Anyway, this movie has a bit of time travel and spirits. Or is it just spirits? Hmm…good question. The ending leaves one a bit wondering, but it was definitely a thriller.

TheCallerThe Nature of Existence – This is a very neat introduction into thoughts about love, life, prayer, science, religion, etc. It goes through so many types of people and countries…it’s just enlightening. There’s a companion series to it…and I’ve watched it, too. This was a rewatch.

TheNatureofExistenceCrazy on the Outside – Well, I added it because of Sigourney Weaver and Tim Allen. It was alright. It was entertaining, it was predictable.

CrazyontheOutsideMorning Glory – So dang cute! I mean, seriously Rachel McAdams is just so cute! Finding it all…isn’t that what we all just want?

MorningGloryCasino Royale – Rewatch. It was tough, seems my DVD is scratched and most of it was skipping and just hard to watch. Ugh. Too bad, b/c I do like this movie. Grr.

CasinoRoyaleLove, Wedding, Marriage – Rewatch. I forgot I watched it, but I had. It’s alright..I wouldn’t call it the best chick flick…but Magic Mike sure looked good.

LoveWeddingMarriageGhost Adventures – I’ve seen the show, so I watched their beginnings. Unfortunately, I sure didn’t pay  much attention to it. Hmmm….not fair to judge.

GhostAdventuresThe Lorax - I liked this. It was neat, it was pretty. It was just a wild tale.

TheLoraxTinkerBell and the Secret of the Wings – My favorite TinkerBell movie yet! Really loved the Summer and Winter Fairies! And twin fairies… yep. I liked this one a lot!

TinkerBellandtheSecretoftheWingsA Little Bit Zombie – This was quite goofy, quite unbelievable…quite B.

ALittleBitZombieParaNorman – So people were recommending this movie to us…so we watched it. I liked it, but I sure didn’t love it like others were telling us. It got a bit goofy, but right, it’s an animation…hah. Alls well that ends well.

ParaNormanQuantum of Solace – Rewatch. Very enjoyable. Yep, own this one, too…and this time I was not disappointed by DVD scratches. Not sure why, but he’s my favorite bond. I really need to see Skyfall!

QuantumofSolaceRemains – Freak accident…most of humanity turns into zombies. A few random survivors in a casino….it’s a little bit crazy…and a little bit unbelievable…but then enough…that you watch the whole thing? I mean, I did. LOL. Of course, most die…but…you know…a couple survive.

RemainsThe Traveler – I saw Val Kilmer, and I thought what the heck. Twisted. A bit bloody. And, they sure get you thinking one way, when, ooooh it’s another.

TheTravelerLast Holiday – I avoided watching this…cuz I’m a weirdo. I liked it. Very fun…love that she grabs life by the horns and then…it all works out. Ahhhh my kind of movie.

LastHolidayThe Hole – Weird. Yep. Weird. Not really scary. Not really that thrilling. Just weird and all does end well.

TheHoleEmma – Rewatch. I think I watched it again, because I was looking up Clueless and realized it was based off this book. Definitely a like in my book. Classic and lovely.

EmmaOne for the Money – No Oscar winner here, and I’m not sure I believed her accent….but hey…I guess she can be a bondsman…and even learn to shoot. Love story is in there, but….it’s rocky.

OnefortheMoneyThe Curse of King Tut’s Tomb (Part 1) – Casper Van Dien…like seriously you know this is going to be so…..SCIFI! I mean, syfy!

TheCurseofKingTutsTombI Kissed a Vampire – One of those movies that was so painful, but yet I watched it to completion. Why? Because now I can say I watched a teenage vampire musical. Oh,  yes, I can.

IKissedAVampireEverything You Want (Love Surreal) – Make believe boyfriend, check. Potential real boyfriend, check. All works out in the end after a weirdness, check!

EverythingYouWantLoveSurrealThe Curse of King Tut’s Tomb (Part 2) – I have to say…the end really got all syfy and a bit disappointing. And, I’m a sucker for Egyptian movies…even syfy ones. Hehe.

Planes, Trains, and Automobiles – ANNOYING. Pete was like you have to watch this. It’s classic 80s comedy. Meh. Annoying is what it is…not believable either.

PlanesTrainsAutomobilesThe Switch – I liked this, though it does get a bit slow, and then just fast-forwards insanely. And, ta da…they get together.

TheSwitchIron Sky - Nazis on the dark side of the moon….trying to take over the Earth? Yes, please. Good concept, not perfectly executed. Worth a watch if this is something you like.

IronSkySnow White and the Huntsman – I really liked this version. And, I really liked Chris Hemsworth. I mean, I really liked this version it was a good story. Until the end, where we never get to see them living happily ever after! I mean come on this is a Snow White story, that’s what we are supposed to see!

SnowWhiteandtheHuntsman

And, that’s my take on the movies I watched in January!
