Palmolive Fresh Infusion Dish Soap Detergent

As a member of Influenster, I get to try great new products all the time.  My last VoxBox was all about Palmolive Fresh Infusion Dish Soap Detergent. We had just ran out of dish soap the day I got my box in the mail so I tried it right away.  To be honest, I wasn't expecting much because I am never able to tell the difference between brands.  The first thing that I noticed was how big the bottles were!  They come in three different scents: Lime Basil, Lemon Thyme, and Ginger White Tea.  I loved the Ginger White Tea.  I always expect anything with ginger to have a strong scent but this has a very mellow fresh scent. I gave my  mom the Lime Basil scent and she also really liked it.  As for the actual dish washing, it works just as well as any other Palmolive dish soap.  I found that this was a little watery for my taste.  However, since the bottle is so large, one bottle lasts the same(or longer) than an average sized bottle.

You can find these at Walmart for around $3, which it really not bad considering how large the bottles are.

Also, I have two more invites to join Influenster!  If you would like to sign up, email me at britibee at gmail or leave a comment below with your email address.

I received this product complimentary through Influenster.

Zoe & Zak and the Ghost Leopard Cosmic Blast-$25 Amazon GC and Book Giveaway

Zoe & Zak and the Ghost Leopard

Imagine you're totally lost in a strange city with no idea where you are and no way home.

Now imagine that elephants and snake charmers start telling you that you've been chosen to save the world.

Would you even believe them? What would you do?

Zoe Guire isn't sure. Having that elephant talk to her was really weird, and, as a rule, Zoe doesn't do weird. Except the thing is, when Zoe goes along on her mom's business trip to India, things get very weird, very quickly. Soon after she arrives, Zoe finds herself tagging alongside a kid named Zak, lost in a crazy city, with no money and no way home.

And those are the least of Zoe's troubles. Because if she's to believe the scary-looking snake charmer guy sitting in the corner, she and Zak have been chosen -- chosen to protect some kind of mythical animal called the Ghost Leopard from who knows what.

Now, the further they get into the mountains, the more crazily impossible things get. Carpets fly and statues talk and if either Zoe or Zak want to make it back to their parents, or the sixth grade, or anything even close to normal, they're going to have to make some new friends, learn some new tricks, and listen, really listen to that talking elephant. Because if they don't, the world will never be the same again.

Join Zoe and Zak as they journey high into the Himalayas to a place few have been and even fewer have returned to tell about it.

Live life beyond the edge.

Baggee Giveaway

This Giveaway is Hosted by Jenn, Mom of Two Munchkins

Baggee is an awesome product that encourages you to save and reuse your plastic grocery bags.  It hold up to 2 average size grocery bags at a time.  They connect easily to your keychain, purse, belt loop, or dogs leash.  I use bags when I dispose of my child's diapers and since we have "retired" the diaper bag I didn't really have a good place to store my bags and didn't want them lose in my purse because they take up a lot of space.  But their was an answer.  I attached a Baggee to the outside my purse so I always have bags with me.  It looks cute too.  They have a variety of colors, I got pink and green.  Read FULL REVIEW.

This would be great for when my husband takes our dogs on a walk! Just clip in on one of their leashes and no more worrying about forgetting to bring doggie bags.  

Good Luck from Blabs from a SAHM and TW!
