Costco Huggies® Snug & Dry Plus Diapers and Huggies® Natural Care® Plus Baby Wipes Sample

We were able to request this great sample, thanks to our Costco Membership.
We have been members since we first got married and usually go there twice a month for a big shopping trip. Receiving special samples, like this Huggies® Sample, is another great perk of our membership. Other great perks are defiantly the bulk items but also getting gas at the Costco gas stations. We save so much on gas, its unbelievable.

Here is what we received: 

- 3 Huggies® Snug & Dry Plus Diapers, Size 4

- 8 Huggies® Natural Care® Plus Baby Wipes

We have been using these Huggies® Diapers, that we always buy at Costco, since we moved back to the states almost 2 years ago. Their price is unbeatable, especially when you can combine it with a Costco Coupon. Huggies® Snug & Dry Plus Diapers fit our tall, skinny daughter the best. They are not too bulky and they do not leak, especially at night.

We have been also using the Huggies® Natural Care® Plus Baby Wipes for 2 years now. We like them because they are very gentle and they do not smell. Our daughter is, just like my husband, very sensitive to smells and easily gets a rash. So these are the perfect choice for us. Each Huggies® Natural Care® Plus Baby Wipes Box comes with a convenient refillable tub and travel pack.
 
We also like that both items come in bulk boxes, so they last us a while and we do not constantly head out for diapers and wipes.

Thank you Costco for this great sample.

CVS Tide Plus Febreze Freshness Sample Review

This last week was great, we received so many samples and I am super excited to all try them out.
Here is the first one, thanks to CVS we received a Tide Plus Febreze Freshness 'Spring and Renewal' Sample. It also came with a 2$ off CVS coupon. I love CVS coupons, because you are allowed to stack them with Manufacturers Coupons. (And there is a Manufacturers Coupon for 1$ off any Tide Detergent available on coupons.com)

I was also very excited, because I usually have to buy the 'Free' non smelling Detergent since my husband gets a horrible rash when I use any other Detergent. We also have a toddler in the house, so I also prefer using the 'Free' Detergent for her. It wouldn't make sense to buy any other Detergent just for myself. So I use what the majority in our house uses.

As soon as I received this sample, I raced upstairs and sorted all the laundry and tossed just my dirty clothes in our washer. I was so excited to finally use a great smelling, refreshing Detergent.
And, oh my, was I happy after the washer was done and I could smell the fresh, flowery smell of my clothes. Even after my clothes came out of the dryer the smell was very strong and refreshing.
I know some people are used to great smelling laundry, so for them this might have been just a great sample. But my clothes usually don't smell like anything, so I was so happy and my clothes smelled terrific.

I was so happy with my sample, that with the help of the coupon, I was even able to get my own little bottle of Tide at CVS today.
Now, I am a happy Mommy and my clothes are going to smell great.

Thank you to CVS.

Bluum Box - April 2014

  This post contains affiliate links, which save you and me both money. I'm very appreciative if you decide to sign up and use my link. You'll save 50% off your first box if you do!

We received our April 2014 Bluum Box today and I was very excited. 

There were some pros and cons about last months Bluum Box. So I was hoping this Month would be better.

I have to say though, after contacting Customer Service last month and telling them how I feel, I was very surprised. They were very kind, understanding and especially they reply fast. 

I do not like when I can not reach the company. 

That is just not professional to me.

I worked in the Customer Service Department and learned, that the Customer comes first and it should be super easy to get in touch.

But anyways, I give kudos to the Bluum Customer Service team. They are doing a great job.

So here is what we got this Month:

- A Priddy Book called 'Noisy Zoo', our daughter loves books and recently started wanting to know more about specific animals. She is really interested in Lions, Monkeys and Elephants, so this will be perfect. The books says 1+ on the back, but the text in the book has information about the animals that, I think, kids 2 and older can actually understand.

Amazon sells this book for 8.99$.

 

- Two Melissa and Doug Peg Puzzles, one is about shapes and one about the alphabet. 

I just wish our daughter would like Peg Puzzles as much as other kids do. 

But I think these are great. Especially since now they actually start to show interest in Shapes and Letters. These Peg Puzzles sell for 7.99$ each on Amazon.

 

-A Pink Myself Belt, I really like the idea of a belt for kids. Especially since they can use this one by them self. Our daughter just recently started wanting to do everything by her self.
Also this is perfect because our daughter is very narrow, so usually pants never fit her right. But I bet this cute belt will help her so that her pants don't fall down. This Myself Belt sells for 16.95$ on their website.

- A Full-Size Bottle of Klorane Dry Shampoo with Nettle. I have heard of Dry Shampoo, but I have never tried it. So when I received it I tried it on myself and my husband. :)

I liked it but I've noticed that you can't use too much or your hair will look kind of raggedy/stringy/unhealthy. I think I also used a bit too much because I had some powder still in my hair even though I kept brushing and brushing it out.

But it is a nice product, and I will use it again just to see if using a bit less will make it work better.

This product sells for  18.54$ on Amazon.

All together I am very happy about my April Bluum Box.

The products are great and my daughter will be super happy about her book, belt and hopefully also the Peg Puzzles.

Citrus Lane April 2014 Box Review - 2 year old Girl

This post contains affiliate links, which save you and me both money. I'm very appreciative if you decide to sign up and use my link. 

You'll save 50% off your first box if you do!

Before I start with my April 2014 review, here are two reviews from March 2014.

So I was very surprised when I tracked my April Box, because it was supposed to arrive one day earlier then predicted.

So here it is:

 

We received the April Box for a 2-3 year old Girl.

It contains:

- A Flower Set from Green Toys, which was custom made for Citrus Lane. 

That means it is a smaller Set (half the pieces), then their Big Bouquet Set that costs 27.99$

The Big Bouquet Set costs 19.59$ on Amazon. I wish we would have gotten the Big Bouquet version.

 - A Set of 2 Tumblers from Green Eats, which I really like. I personally just think they are a little too big to be tumblers for 2-3 year olds. A smaller size is easier to grab for small hands and the outside of these seems very slippery for toddlers.

I personally have nothing against the color green for my daughter but since I selected 'Girl" for my subscriptionI would have expected a different color. (These Tumblers come in the colors blue, green, yellow and orange)

This Tumbler costs 5.99$ on Amazon.

- The Book and CD Set 'Prince's Bedtime' from Barefoot Books

 This book costs 8.99$ on Amazon.

I really like Barefoot Books, so I am very happy about this book. It is about a Prince who refuses to go to sleep and it also includes a story time CD with 2 versions of the story.

 

- A Sample of Mrs. Meyers Clean Day Lemon Verbena Dish Soap. 

This Sample is 2 Fluid Ounces and the 16 Ounces one costs 2.99$ on their website. 

I love the clean lemon scent and also the fact that it cuts grease and is biodegradable.

- Also we received a Free Card offer from Treat. 

I was very excited about this, until I saw in the fine print that this is for new customers only.

That's a bummer. I have been a customer with them for more then a year now and love their products and quality.

So all in all this is a neat April Box, but If you add up the numbers then it comes very close to what the normal monthly Box costs and there were a couple things I didn't like about some products.

Thank you.

Target Sample Review: Jergens® BB Body Perfecting Skin Cream

I was very surprised to hear that Target offers free samples on their website. As soon as I heard they have one available I signed up for it. A couple weeks later, I received this:

I received a Jergens® BB Body Perfecting Skin Cream Sample.

I applied it on my hands, just to try it out, right when I received it. 

It is very moisturizing and it sank in my skin right away. It did not leave a greasy film or anything, just softness. 

The Jergens® BB Body Perfecting Skin Cream made my hands feel hydrated, even and firm. 

I love the smell of this Skin Cream, it is a sweet and clean smell. 

Very impressing is also how big the sample is. I will definitely be able to use it for quiet a bit. 

Thank you to Target for offering a great sample. 

And Thank you to Jergens® for making such a great product.

Smiley360 Mission Review: Orajel™ Single Dose Cold Sore Treatment

A little while back I received a free product thanks to Smiley360.

This product isn't something you can use every day though, so I was waiting for the right moment. 

And the moment came this week, when I started to feel a weird spot on my lip. And I knew it happened again, a Cold Sore. My mom gets them all the time and so do I. I dislike them so much, they itch, they hurt, they look nasty and I just want to hide until the Cold Sore is gone.

So I was very pleased I was able to apply for the Orajel™ Single Dose Cold Sore Treatment Mission from Smiley360.

Like I said the box arrived a while back and instead of one product I even got two of these:

So as soon as I felt the cold sore popping up I used the Orajel™ Single Dose treatment.

It is very easy to use, you just slide the blue part up and the little plastic part breaks on the inside and sets the Treatment free. The best part you can apply it just like that, no need for fighting to get it on the right spot with your fingers. I like this mess free version. It will look just like this:

It was super easy to apply and took all the itchy pain away and made my lip feel very numb. Thanks to the Topical pain reliever.

I felt like it worked right away. I didnt feel the usual tingle and the Cold Sore didnt get too big.

Since one dose wasn't enough for my Cold Sore I also used the Second Single Dose that comes in the package and that did the trick for me. 

My Cold Sore disappeared faster, I didn't experience the weird itchiness on my lip and I felt like a normal person again.

I will definitely buy this product again next time I feel the tingle on my lip again. 

This is a great and easy to use product. 

Here is a link for a special coupon that Orajel™ provided.
