Product Review: Cottonelle Toilet Paper and flushable cleansing cloths
I received Cottonelle cleansing cloths from Crowdtap. I gave the two samples to my family members for their purses. I kept the dispenser and have it sitting in my bathroom. The dispenser is very easy to use, accessible, unisex and very basic. I like that it blend in with the bathroom and does not take up much room. The wipes are thick, soft, fragrance-free,durable and leave you feeling fresh and clean. I recently purchased Cottonelle toilet paper as well and enjoy the quality.
Will definitely purchase these items again for my family!

Organizing: KEEP or TOSS
I have been trying to organize my life lately. I thought I would start to share some tips with others as well.
As many of us have watched on HGTV and other channels, they do the KEEP or TOSS technique to de-clutter.
I have recently used this approach as I have moved from a house to an apartment. First, I asked myself if there was a huge sentimental value to the item. For instance, if it was a gift from someone or irreplaceable. It MIGHT be something I choose to keep, for right now anyway. It is important to also realize that you do not have to keep everything just because it was a gift. Once it is your property, you should be able to choose to do with it as you please without feeling any guilt.
Another approach is asking yourself when you actually have used this item or will use the item. If you haven't used it, do you think that you actually will? Is it even in style anymore? Are the textbooks outdated? Is it worth the space and dust? These are many of the reasons that I have donated to GoodWill or charities.
In closing, don't be afraid to TOSS! It is amazing how refreshed you will feel after you do.
Good Luck with your organizing :)

"Taboo Topic"
Anyone that knows me, knows that I am a reality show addict. I am starting to feel like I could use my time much better so have been trying to get out of this. For instance, Big Brother has been consuming my days & nights this summer!! Being a huge The Bachelor fan, it hit close to home to hear of the recent passing of one of the reality show's contestants. She was on The Bachelor, and The Bachelor Pad two times. She was a gorgeous model with an amazing personality and everyone seemed to love her. Following her on Twitter, I would sometimes see pictures or updates from her and she always seemed so upbeat and happy.
Having studied psychology and social work, I am obviously aware that depression and suicide can happen to anyone. This is regardless of status, looks, family, career, or level of "happiness" In fact, with bi-polar disorder, happiness can be a sign of something negative to come. Depression works in mysterious ways and can make one feel like they are in hole and they do not see any way of getting out. It clouds your thoughts and vision to think that there is no way you will be at a "normal" level of happiness. Depression makes life seem like a chore and that the best answer is to not live it.
I feel that it is important for everyone to be educated about mental health and suicide because it is all around us. Suicide IS preventable.

Schick Hydro Silk Razor review
As part of my Bzzagent campaign, I was sent a Schick Hydro Silk razor package to try and share coupons with others.
This morning, I used my razor for the first time. I was very pleased by the value and quality of this product.
I have had many bad experiences with razors in the past. I have gotten multiple scrapes and cuts from other razors. I also would find it hard to get a nice, close shave. Schick Hydro Silk razors have water-activated moisturizing serum with skin guards that help prevent irritation and cuts. My legs definitely have felt smooth all day long and I am loving it! It is amazing what it can do for your confidence.
The contoured oval cartridges for the razor can be sold in a 4-pack which retail for $15.11. Definitely worth it instead of purchasing these other razors I have used in the past. Saving a few dollars ends up costing me more bandaids and irritation in the long run.
I have a history of having laser hair removal because of my thick hair that is constantly growing. Although I did miss a few areas with this razor, it was overall a great product. My bzzguide states that it won 2012 Beauty Awards in top magazines which I can see why. Definitely worth a try if you have bad experiences like I have.

Review: Lean Cuisine Salad Additions
I was selected to be part of the Bzzagent campaign to try free product and give coupons. I sampled Lean Cuisine Salad Additions which is the first Lean Cuisine product to combine frozen food and fresh ingredients. Suggested retail price: $3.29
There are four flavors: Asian-style Chicken, Bistro Chicken, Cranberry Chicken and Southwest-style Chicken. All you have to do is add the lettuce of your choice.
I chose to use romaine lettuce for my salads.
First, I tried the Southwest-style Chicken. It had just the right amount of flavor to tempt me to eat the whole salad within minutes!
I definitely recommend the Southwest-style chicken salad- It has grilled white chicken, black beans, corn, red peppers and poblano peppers. It has Chipotle ranch dressing in a separate package that you can add as much or little of as you could want. It also has a pack of tortilla strips that add crunch to the salad. The salad is listed at 260 calories, which isn't bad for a meal.
The other Salad Addition that I tried was the Bistro Chicken. It had awesome flavor as well. It contains grilled white chicken, asparagus, yellow carrots, red peppers, onion straws and vinaigrette with bacon. This one was listed as a few less calories---240. My only complaint about the Bistro Chicken is the veggies. They took away from the flavor of the chicken. It would taste much better to add your own veggies but I understand that they were trying to make it more convenient.
I will definitely purchase more of the Lean Cuisine Salad Additions in the future. They make perfect lunches- healthy, satisfying, and ready in minutes!!!
