ZzzQuil Review

I received #ZzzQuil in return for my open and honest review from #Influenster.

★★★★☆ / ★★★★★



So long to nights of taking NyQuil or Benadryl to get a few hours in when you're not sick. They must have taken the hint because they finally put out a product that is strictly for sleep. 

It's not a cure for insomniacs but it will help you doze off. We have two little ones and I had no problems waking up with the baby in the middle of the night or falling back asleep. Even though it took about an hour before I felt sleepy, I didn't wake up with that hangover that a lot of sleep medications give you. 

Other than taking a while to kick in, my only issue with this product would be the price BUT -- I know that I've seen couponers get it for free and there have been some decent sales on it. 

I'm saying - 4/5 stars.

Normal - The New Bad Word

Snuggled up... Sandwiched in between the 2 men I couldn't live without (well, one big man and one little man) and somewhat enjoying the fact I can't sleep right now. It's quiet and I can actually think. I know our life isn't perfect. We have our struggles... And, something I never thought I'd say... I'm pretty sure that makes us normal. Yikes. That n-word... "Normal". Wtf does that mean, anyway? I don't know any family that doesn't have their share of issues. In fact, I talked to a guy today... The son of a cop... Total, admitted pothead. See... Even they have issues. Our problems might not be the same as yours but - that's the glory of life. They don't have to be. My struggles don't make your struggles and less important any more than yours make mine less important. I think a lot of people get into this mindset where what they're going through is just the worst thing on earth. They get so wrapped up in themselves that they forget that life could ALWAYS get worse. Pick your head up. Stop with the "My life sucks more" dick measuring contest. Listen. Sometimes hearing someone talk to you about what's going on in their life can put yours back into perspective... Or, just maybe, you'll get good advice or even a helping hand.

I received the Quaker Steel Cut Blueberries & Cranberries from BzzAgent, free and in return for my honest review, and - I didn't think I was going to like it at first but - I loved it. The flavor is awesome. The texture - which is what threw me off at first - was amazing. It wasn't a goopy, runny blob. It also fills me up more than "regular" oatmeal. I felt more full and felt full longer. Still haven't had a chance to try the other flavor but it's definitely on my grocery list.

5 Hour Energy Pink Lemonade

Smiley360 sent me on a new mission and, I have to say, I really liked this one. They sent me 2 bottles of 5 Hour Energy Pink Lemonade in a pink bottle for BREAST CANCER AWARENESS! Okay, so that right there gives it my vote. They're donating a minimum of $75,000 for breast cancer awareness. That's awesome. It's even better that it tastes pretty darn good! I'm not usually one for sugar-free ANYTHING because I don't like the aftertaste. This really didn't have a bad aftertaste AND it works. I waited for a rainy, dreary day before I drank it.... Definitely good timing. I wasn't bouncing off the walls like a 2 year old but it did give me enough energy to wake me up and help me concentrate. LOVE IT! Thank you, for my free 5-Hour Energies, Smiley360!

Leave V.S. forever?? Just might be doing that!

So... I have always been a Victoria's Secret kind of girl. I'm pretty big busted and always swore by their bras because I could never find another brand that fit me well. I would save and save and then bite the bullet when I spent $50+ on a new bra. Consequently, I have a few bras that are a few years old. You know you're supposed to get a new one every 6 months, right?

So, when BzzAgent sent me on a new campaign to try out a Playtex bra, I was skeptical. They sent me a Playtex Secrets® Balconette bra. I have to admit, it's pretty cute. It's in a nude-type color. I pull it out of the box, pull the price tag off of it ($37 at Kohl's, by the way), put it on and... Wow... This is a Playtex? It's more comfortable than my $68 V.S. bra... Look in the mirror... No funny shaped boobies, like what the one V.S. bra does to me. Fits nice. No, I lie. Fits perfectly. Why haven't I tried the Playtext bras before? Oh, wait... Maybe it's the whole "you get what you pay for" line. No. So not true! There are some things out there that are cheaper and better than the more expensive things. Now, you might be thinking that I'm fibbing. Let me tell you, this is the only bra I'll wear right now. I love it. I really need a black one... Hey, Playtex. Think you help a girl out? 40D, please!

Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Miracle Dry Oil

Okay, so... A while back I joined BzzAgent.com... Probably one of the best websites on the face of the planet. Why, you ask? Because BzzAgent puts real products in your hands for you to test and give feedback on. It doesn't cost a dime to join. The more you participate, the more campaigns you have a chance of getting into.

One of the latest campaigns I've been able to get into was the Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Miracle Dry Oil. I think this is going to be one of my favorite products EVER. I use it in my hair to keep down the frizziness and make it silky & shiny. I love to use it after I shave - No more dry, ashy legs for me! It makes a great *on the go* lotion that isn't greasy! A little goes a long way for both skin and hair! It isn't hard to overdo it in your hair though so you have to be mindful of how much you spritz.

One of the best things about it? Price! No joke? I'm a cheapskate! I don't like spending a lot of money if I don't have to. This stuff is $5.99 MSRP. It's inexpensive. It works. It's versatile. Bottom line - Spend the $6 and try it!

Ooooh... My New Sleep Number Pillow ~ Smiley360`

So... I get this HUGE box in the mail the other day and, to my surprise, it's my brand new Sleep Number Pillow, courtesy of Smiley360.

Even better -- In my box, Sleep Number 6” CoolFit™ Foam Contour Pillow -- $139.99 pillow!

Now, I always thought those ultra-expensive pillows were all hype and paying for the name... Okay, the price may have something to do with the fact this thing costs $140 bucks but... OMG It's the most awesome pillow. The CoolFit technology really does work. No more flipping the pillow over when it gets hot!!! That's one of the biggest gripes I have about foam pillows! That, alone, makes it one of the best pillows I've ever owned. Now, I do put another pillow under it because it just doesn't feel like it's high enough, but that's probably just my personal preference.

My Rating --- 9/10 Smiles
Only losing one due to the height of the pillow and the fact that $140 is still obsurd for a pillow...
