Dentek Floss

I wasn't required to do this but I love the kids dentek floss so much that I actually went out and bought a pack for my kids. I'll post up the picture but my hubby's out of town with my laptop so I don't have it on the computer. Anyways, the kids floss are prefect for their small little mouth and teeth! It comes in 4 colors: pink, orange, blue, green.

I use it on myself but the floss is quite small but I don't really mind about it. For the adult floss, it's okay but I just don't like how the end have a really pointy toothpick. It's pretty sharp and all I could imagine is that if my little gal got a hold of it, she might hurt herself with it. Just being cautious. Both of the pack have coated fluoride so that's a good thing for the little ones teeth. The pack that I bought have 77 floss picks in it...forgot how much it was but I got it from Target.


updated 7/22:

After taking my daughters to the dentist, I decided to get another pack of the kids dentek floss since we're almost out. I can tell you that my kids love using it and the overall price is okayish. It's $2.88 per pack. It's cheaper if you just buy regular floss but much faster and easier to use the floss stick.


I now officially lost all of my pictures that I had taken including my precious photos!!!! QQ
I plug in the sd card in my laptop going to transfer the pictures I had taken and it wouldn't work so I had to put it in my camera which tried it through there but the files were all gone!!!!!! I'm so angry at myself!!!!

Hubby have the picture in my laptop so I can't really upload it since he's out of state for 2 weeks but I'll upload it once he comes back. My thoughts about the imPress:


Pro:

~quick and easy
~selections to choose from
~no drying time needed
~good for on the go

Cons:
~size may fit, too big, too small depending on your nails
~comes off if you do hard core stuff ( I have kids so it came off easily for me)


Those are just some that I could think of. Some were too big for my nails but others fit okay. It's good when you're going to a party or a night out but I do not recommend wearing this as a daily basis when you're busy with your hands. They do come off easily if you accidentally peel it. It will stick back on but won't be as strong when you first put it on, therefore it comes off easily.
 
I'm not too big of a fan on the imPress but if I'm going out to a party or something, I would definitely purchase them since painting my nails will take a while ( again, I have kids so my nails are never pretty when I paint them). 

The many uses of Ivory

This is a required review for the Ivory soap from the Mom voxbox of July so it's the reason why I'm doing it but these are my honest opinion about the product. I have been using it ever since I received the mom voxbox.


   ~How you used Ivory Bar Soap:
       * Body Cleanser 
       * Facial Cleanser
       * Clothes Stain Remover (food stains, ring around collar, etc)
       * Laundry Flakes
       * Soap Carving Project
       * Other
    
~What you like about Ivory and why
 
      I actually tried the ivory soap as a makeup remover. I don't really suggest of your whole face since it's kind of feel icky, but it's really good at removing eye liner/gel liner. Those really hard to moved eye liner that even makeup remover can't remove it all. I did get some in my eyes which stung a bit but flushed it with water so I had no problems at all.
 
    ~Results you saw from using this product
 
    Like what I wrote above, I use it as a eye makeup remover. I love it! So far I've tried 2 eye makeup remover and those two don't seem to removed the gel liner cleanly but with the ivory soap, it removes almost all of it. So...the result was great!
 
    ~Recommended uses for this product
 
 Like any other soap, you can pretty much use it as you use the regular soap. However I've heard of people using the ivory soap for laundry. You can search through google for a homemade laundry soap if you're wondering what I'm saying or want to look for the recipe. 

It's definitely for everyone. It doesn't have any fragrance to it so those that are sensitive to fragrance or with sensitive skin, I recommend this over some soap. Another thing, I'm one of those people that don't use baby wipes to wipe my kids bottom when they're done with their business; I prefer washing it to reduce rashes...even as a newborn I do noticed results of washing their bottom versus with wipes...with wipes, they tend to get diaper rashes quickly than when you wash it. So far my 15 months gal have no reactions to the ivory soap so that's a good thing.
 
 
    ~Your thoughts on Ivory’s value (Ivory is one of the least expensive bars and body washes on a per oz basis!)
 
      I don't buy soap often so I can't really say anything about the prices of the value. What I do know is that I now love using ivory. I'll be looking forward into more ivory products!

Bogus Speaker

My husband and I was just at Walmart yesterday and came upon a speaker that was dangling on the side of the shelf at the game section. We're crazy mofo about speakers so we decided to get it just to see if it was loud enough since someone at his workplace took his good speakers. On the back, it stated, no batteries required which was a big plus for us. It was around $4 so what could possibly hurt?

On the way home, my husband played some music. The first one was very loud, and the next one was crappy. I was like whoa....did you plug in the speaker on the first one? That was very loud. The replied??? Honey, that was your galaxy player. The crappy one was the speaker. A huge big difference between them. Now I'll just stick to the bomb speaker instead since it's louder. I'll be returning the speaker that we bought.

This is a crappy product and a waste of money. It's even worth it to buy and I highly recommend the bomb speaker over it!!!
