Ragu Sauce-- Chunky Garlic

 I received a coupon for a free bottle of Ragu from +Influenster so i decided to try something new.  I took some Turkey sausage and cut it up in chunks and cooked over medium heat for just a few minutes and then added the Ragu Chunky Roasted Garlic sauce into the same pan.

 Meanwhile, i started cooking fettuccine noodles in a separate pan.  I heated the sauce through and cooked the noodles as on the package stated about 12 minutes.  Then i tossed the noodles in the sauce and voila! an excellent, QUICK dinner.  This was super easy and tasted excellent.  Ragu never does you wrong.  I loved the flavor of the garlic sauce.  My husband loved the dinner and my normally very picky teen daughter devoured it.  So its a high recommendation from me!

Raise your Hands if your Sure!

Remember those old commercials?  Raise your hand if your Sure?  I think its time Sure brand antiperspirant & deodorant makes a come back.  I received this product from +Influenster  for testing purposes and the opinions presented here and solely my own.  I don't think i had ever used this brand prior to the testing period.  I have now used it approximately a week and the following are my thoughts about this product:

Goes on super smooth. 
Does not leave any white filmy residue like some other brands do.
Has an incredibly fresh scent.  Very pleasant and not over powering.
Definitely keeps you dry and fresh all day! 

I will buy this again for sure.  Why don't you go out and get some so you can raise your hands and be Sure as well!

Crest Pro-Health Advanced Mouthwash Review

I received a 16.9oz sample of this product from +BzzAgent  to try for free in exchange for my honest opinion.  I have to admit that my family and I have been using a different brand of mouthwash for the last several years so i was extremely curious how this would compare.

What i liked:

• Crest Pro-Health advanced with extra deep clean proposes to kill bad breath germs.  It did that just fine.  My mouth felt like it took care of any bad breath lurking around just as well as my other mouth wash.  
• Professes to help prevent cavities.  I'm not sure if this is true or not.  Ive never had a product that has anticavity/ fluoride in it as an adult.  I didn't know if adults even really need or should get fluoride since that doesn't seem to be anything the dentist does when you go.  So not sure if i believe this claim or not-- but for those looking for a fluoride mouthwash- this would be an increased benefit for you!
• Strengthens enamel....  Now this is what i REALLY liked.  Again i don't know from just my sample if this is so.  I would have to continue to use it over time to test out.  The enamel on my teeth seems to be decreasing as i age.  If in fact this product with strengthen enamel which would also assist in reducing cavities-- i am all for it.    I am definitely going to try this over a longer period of time to see if the results show up at the next dental exam.

Cleans teeth and gums and freshens breath-- thats just a given.  What isn't a given is that THIS product does it WITHOUT the burn.  Other mouthwashes i have trouble using for the length of time they suggest because it starts burning.  This is alcohol free and does not burn.  I was able to keep swishing for the full 60 seconds that is recommended.  Somewhere around 30 seconds my teeth started getting that squeaky clean feeling.

What i didn't like:
NOTHING.  there was absolutely nothing i didn't like about this product.  I will for sure be trying it again.

Pond's Rejuveness Anti-Wrinkle Cream Product review

I received the @Ponds Rejuveness Anti-Wrinkle Cream complimentary from +Influenster  for my honest review of the product.  At the time of this review, i have used this product twice a day for 10 days. 

What the product claims:

•    visibly reduces the appearance of fine lines in 2 weeks.
•    Hypoallergenic
•    Won't clog pores

Contains:

• AHAs (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) - Known as an exfoliant, which gently removes dull surface skin cells and smooths fine lines.
•  Collagen - Natural fiber known to increase skin strength and elasticity
•  Vitamin E - An anti-oxidant that is known to fight free radicals and help with overall skin health.

What i liked about this product:

•  Nice light scent 
•  Light Moisture.  Able to be used under make up without any issues.
• Appears to do as suggested.  It may be a little early to determine, but the fine lines under my eyes appear to be reducing after just 2 weeks of use.  The vertical "frown" lines above my eyes is definitely not as deep.  I will continue to use to see if continued use continues to improve appearance on lines.

What i disliked about this product:

•     The container for this product is a little difficult to get the cream out without getting it under my nails.  I would like if better in a less messy container.  It is not so bad while it is still near the top, but i can tell that it will become more difficult to get out as it nears the bottom.

Temptations Snacky Mouse

I love being part of the +Influenster community and being one of the first to try out new products.  This time i was lucky enough to be selected for the +TemptationsCatTreats Snacky mouse trial to try with my pets at home.  This product promotes that it is a "delicious game of cat and mouse".  You are instructed to fill up the Snacky Mouse toy with Temptations cat treats and the cat should bat it around letting the treats fall out the holes.

Now in theory this would be a GREAT idea.  A fun toy for your cat and a way to provide treats at the same time.  The problem is........In my house NOTHING works as it is intended.  I was excited to open this little mouse and fill it with the temptations treats.  Definitely easy enough.  I did so right away and put it on the floor....

What i got instead was a very disinterested cat.  She wouldn't look at it no matter what i did.  I pushed it along the floor for her to let her see how much fun she could have with it.

       

  Nothing!!!!!

Puddin' wanted absolutely nothing to do with this fun little toy. Now, its not to say that this was a total loss.  She did like the treats themselves.  If i pushed it around and the treats fell out, she would eat them.  She just would not bat at it.

But it was very interesting what happened when my dog Aly came into the room.  She LOVED it.  She batted it around, very easily knocked the treats out and she ate them instead.  So while the cat would take it or leave it--- don't worry because this is a toy for any small animal.  If you cat doesn't like it-- it may be that your dog does.

So thanks Influenster and Temptations.  The free product for testing purposes did not go to waste!  My dog will have lots of fun with this one.
