Soft Scrub Advanced Surface Review and Giveaway! (2 Winners)

Soft Scrub is a name that I trust when it comes to cleaning my home.  I've tried many of their products in the past, always with great results.  I was recently given a bottle of a new product of theirs: Soft Scrub Advanced Surface, and I'm excited to tell you all about it!  Soft Scrub Advanced Surface is specially formulated for use on your marble or granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and sinks, and glass cooktops.  I have a stainless steel refrigerator, so I tried out the Soft Scrub Advanced Surface on my grimy refrigerator doors.  My kids are always in the fridge, and always hanging up their artwork on the fridge, and let's face it, their hands aren't always clean.  I always see their fingerprints on the doors as well as various food/drinks spilled down the front of the refrigerator.  (I'm not sure how they do it, but the messes are always popping up!)

I applied some of the Soft Scrub Advanced Surface to the doors and wiped it off with a wash cloth, and was so pleased by how it shined!  The messes and fingerprints were gone and my refrigerator doors looked like new!  I love that this is a rinse-free gel, so that you can easily wipe it up with a paper towel, wash cloth or sponge after applying to the surface.  This saves you a step in the cleaning process, so that you can get done with your chores faster.  It's so easy to use and you don't have to worry about damaging your most delicate surfaces.

Carmex Healing Cream and Hydrating Lotion Review and Giveaway! - CLOSED!

I am a proud member of the Carmex Blog Squad! I love getting to try new Carmex products and offer great giveaways to my awesome readers!  This time I was given Carmex Healing Cream and Hydrating Lotion to review.  In the winter months, my skin gets so dry.  It's so uncomfortable - especially my hands and feet.  I've always trusted Carmex to hydrate my chapped lips, so I was excited to give their Healing Cream and Hydrating Lotion a try.

Carmex Healing Cream:

My feet have been so terribly dry and my heals have awful cracks in them.  I thought they would be the perfect place to try the Carmex Healing Cream, since they are by far the worst area of my body as far as dry, cracked skin goes.  I have been using the Healing Cream for a couple of weeks now and my feet look and feel so much better!  The Healing Cream actually mimics your skin's natural lipid layer to maximize healing, while the petrolatum and allantoin soften rough skin and aid in moisturization.  I need to get my feet ready for the spring and summer months, so I've been diligently applying the Carmex Healing Cream at night before bed, and it is really helping!  I would recommend this product for your most dry skin areas.

Carmex Hydrating Lotion:

My poor hands get so dry at all times of the year, simply because of all of the hand washings I do in a day.  I have to change a lot of diapers and have to clean up a lot of messes in a typical day, so I am constantly washing my hands.  This really dries out my skin.  Over the past couple of weeks, I've been applying the Carmex Hydrating Lotion to my hands and body and have noticed a change for the better in the appearance of my skin.  My dry hands are more hydrated and look younger if you can believe that!  My arms and legs are benefiting from the use of the Carmex Hydrating Lotion as well!  My husband has noticed that my skin is softer!  Carmex Hydrating Lotion is great for everyday use.  It's loaded with Vitamin E and ultra-concentrated aloe vera to soothe skin and give your skin tons of hydration without that greasy feeling.  Both products are wonderful and I will continue to use them year round, for the health of my skin.
