Review ~ Scotties Facial Tissue #ScottiesTreesRock

December 8, 2014 by Letty

Scotties Facial Tissue are on the softest and stronger I have use. I usually tend to go for whatever brand is on sale or I have a coupon of. Needle to say I get what I pay for. Finding a brand that affordable, soft and strong enough to stand my sneezing. Scotties were surprisingly strong for a two ply tissue. After a sneezy and blowing my nose it didn’t disintegrate on my hand – no little pieces of tissue on my hands. My nose did Continue reading →

Big Slice Apples were created in the Midwest originally created by a grandson trying to recreate his grandmother’s big sliced apples! Eventually they put them into portioned pouches to make enjoying them easy and simple.  I was sent an 8 pack variety of flavors to try, at first sight it look and feels like if it has apple sauce instead of apple chunks. However, after opening and seeing inside it my son wanted to try them right away and surprisingly enough he love them.  Each Continue reading →

InstaNatural Organic Argan Oil is a multi-purpose oil that can be used on hair, skin and nails. I’ve been hearing for a while about Argon Oil, but what gave me pause from giving it a try was the word oil. I have very fine hair, so I have to be very careful with oily products. However, InstaNatural Organic Argan Oil unlike a lot of oil based products did not leave me with a greasy palm or hair. It did not weighed down or made it Continue reading →

Scott Naturals® #TossTheTube toilet paper is one of my new greener products. I am happy to hear that a company has taking the steps to help us stay green with one of the most essential items in the modern world. I am glad that by getting rid of the tube the quality of the paper was not compromise. It is still soft, strong, and most of all affordable. Did you know that over 17 billion toilet paper tubes are tossed into the garbage each year Continue reading →

KISS InstaWave Automatic Curler let you create beautiful, lasting curls with ease. After reading the directions and watching the video, the KISS InstaWave seemed easy enough to use.  It looks less intimidating than other curlers I have try. It took me a few tries to figure it out. I couldn’t get my hair in the machine. Another issue I ran into was how much hair to section off to curl at once.  After getting the hang of it was easier to manage.  I am glad that I Continue reading →

Review ~ Coosh Bluetooth Speaker

Coosh Bluetooth Speaker is well constructed and stylish. Love the all-around pattern. The packaging box is reusable and stylish as well. Coosh has an indicator letting you know that is charging and when it is full. I like the portability of the Coosh, because I can take it anywhere. Coosh delivers a great sound, for a small speaker. It’s very loud and there is no distortion even at 30 feet. The instruction manual was a pain to read, it is too small and I didn’t Continue reading →
