Crest(R) Be BzzCampaign

I got into the Crest(R) Be BzzCampaign last week and received the toothpastes about 2 days ago. This campaign is to try out Crest new toothpaste that came out not too long ago. I've seen it at the store and the design has caught my attention but the flavor of toothpaste isn't just appealing.

What I received are:
   *0.7 oz Crest Mint Chococolate Trek
   *0.7 oz Crest Lime Spearmint Zest
   *0.07 oz Crest Vanilla Mint Spark

If you're not sure how big the 0.07 oz is, they are the small travel size toothpaste.

So far, I have not tried it yet but will be reviewing them soon so stay tune!

Update review:

*** Mint Chocolate Trek
               If you have kids around that needs to be supervise while brushing their teeth, this is definitely a toothpaste that you will need to supervise or put away if unused. The flavor is right on as what the name is. It taste exactly like a mint chocolate bar or like mint chocolate chip ice cream. I wasn't expecting it to taste anything like mint chocolate at all. I was expecting more of a minty flavor since all toothpaste taste minty. Chocolate is something that no ones want after brushing their teeth; especially at night. Now you can brush your teeth having a hint of chocolate that will do you no harm for your teeth leaving yourself with very clean teeth. Out of the 3 toothpaste that I received, this one is definitely the one that makes my teeth feels the cleanest.


*** Lime Spearmint Zest
             First thing that came to my mind is "I doubt it would taste like lime at all, if it does, maybe just a tinny tiny hint of lime only." After trying it out, I'm completely blown by the flavor. You can actually taste the lime...like an actual lime; just not that sour. The flavor is right on as what the name is said. Spearmint is pretty expected in every toothpaste or just the minty flavor but the unbelievable flavor of lime is really something new. I wouldn't had tried it if it weren't for Bzzagent.

*** Vanilla Mint Spark
            Vanilla isn't much of a favorite to me since I prefer chocolate over vanilla. If you know those vanilla perfume scent that smell right on vanilla; it's like that but just the flavor instead of the smell. It's right on vanilla.That's the first thing that hit you then comes the mint afterward. It's not a favorite of mine but at least I tried it out and the name is true to what it's called.



Thanks to Bzzagent and Crest that I'm able to tried these out. I wouldn't have bought any if I was shopping at the store just because I would've thought the flavor wouldn't be as strong or right on as what it's said. It would be nice if they have more flavors to tried out. I'm pretty sure if they do come out with different flavors, people would be doing the "toothpaste" challenge. The box and tube itself is very eye catching as I've seen them at the store whenever I shop at Walmart.

Dreams about losing tooth

About a month ago, I dreamt that one of my tooth came off. It was one of the bottom front tooth. Even when waking up, my dream was very crisp/vivid and I could still feel my tooth breaking off. Usually my dream doesn't feel surreal so I told my husband about it. He too didn't know what it means or if it even meant anything. I wanted to ask my father in law about it but hesitant and just maybe, it meant nothing. After that dream, I would wake up catching myself grinding my teeth. It happen for a few days but I thought it was due from stress. I then decided to ask my younger sister about it. She told me that it meant death in the family. Since it didn't sound too good, I just brush it off but told my husband about it. The next day, my husband and I was going to ask my father in low about my dream. Well, before we could ask,we got the news from my father in law that a relative (from my husband side) just pass away. He was my father in law's brother son. It happen within a week of that dream.

Just about a week and a half ago,I dreamt that my daughter lost one of her tooth. This dream wasn't too vivid so I just brush it off but I've noticed I've been grinding my teeth again a few days before I had that dream. After the dream, I stop grinding my teeth. So I put together 2+2 = grinding my teeth meant something. Worried, Every night after that, I would stay up and wait till 2 am for my husband when he comes home from work. lf he comes pass that time, I would call his phone like crazy. Again, a week after and we just got the news that one of my father in law brother pass away.

As much as I don't want to believe my dreams about losing tooth, the events that happen were true. I now do believed that losing tooth in your dream do mean Death in the family. This dream interpretation is true after all.

Rice noodle chicken soup- Khaub piaj

Rice noodle Chicken soup - Khaub piaj is a soup that's great to eat during the cold weather or when you're sick. I've been sick for the past few weeks along with my family. With bad cough and being so congested, I tried to cook less oily food.

Knaub piaj is a favorite among my family. I've been wanting to find a scratch recipe for the rice noodle and finally found a perfect one! The recipe that I used is from annievang. com. She have lots of great recipes!

The directions will be on her blog if you're wondering why I didn't post it up. She had it step by step with pic tutorial.

As said above, I follow the direction and recipe for the rice noodle. The process of the making of the soup, I made mine slightly different.For the noodle, I roll it with a rolling pin and use a pizza cutter to cut it up. Using a knife takes too long.

Since I don't have any chicken breast on hand (I prefer to use chicken breast), I use chicken drumsticks by skinning it, leaving some meat on the bone and chopping the rest of the meat. That way I don't have to take it out later and shred it up.

It's really simple and easy to make especially on a cold day.

Bzzagent Glade wax melts and plugins scented oil campaign

GLADE® WAX MELTS AND PLUGINS® SCENTED OIL CUSTOMIZABLES™

 I recently got into the glade wax melts and plugins bzz campaign. What came through the mail was a coupon booklet with 2 coupons to get the wax melt and plugins free. I got myself the clean linen and sunny day plugins along with the berry wax melt pk.

I have been using the plugins so it's nothing new to me. The plugins have a new design that it makes it more eye appealing when you have guest over. There are three setting and the lowest is supposedly to last up to 60 days. Even with the lowest setting, the fragrances is pretty strong. With the clean linen and sunny day scents that alternates throughout the day, my room smells really really clean. I wake up feeling refresh.

The glade wax melts is something new to me that I haven't used yet until now. Over the holidays, my sister in law bought one of the holiday edition which i found out that glade now makes wax melt. I've been wanting to check out glades line of wax melt since then but keeps forgetting whenever I go to the store. Finally, after receiving the coupon for one free wax melt pk, I was able to check out the wax melts. It didn't pleased me as much as I thought it would. The choices weren't much but they do have a variety. I end up with the berry scents and hopefully in the near future, I would be able to see more selections there.

Rimmel London stay matte liquid mousse foundation

A few weeks ago (might have been in Dec?)I found a selection of the Rimmel london stay matte foundation at Kmart. I don't remember if there's a whole lot selections of colors but I believed that most are from fair to medium dark skin tone. The one I decided to get was ivory.

I've been using this for a few weeks and must definitely say that this isn't as good on dry skin if you don't use it lightly + exfoliate well before use. I have dry skin and tend to have dry patches on my right bottom cheek and the middle of my forehead to my right side of the eyebrow. Even with the use of moisturizer and primer, I can still see some dry patches. If I don't pack it on too much and just simply use a little, it looks fine on me. If you look at the picture above, you can definitely tell that it's very thick compared to other foundation.

As much as I want to wear it, due to my dry skin, I would probably wait till summer when it's a bit warmer and see if it works then.

Influenster VioletVoxBox

Been a while that I actually blog! I've been so busy with my newborn +kids that I barely find the time to blog; either I don't have time or else, I'm extremely tired by night time!

A while back, I got an e-mail saying I got in to the violet vox box from influenster! Today (12/6/13), I've received it! I was pretty excited since I haven't had one in a while now. So let's see what I received:

1)Montagne Jeunesse Clay Spa; $2.49 -"Dead Sea Mud Spa"
           I've seen these at Walgreens as well as Walmart and loved them! I usually buy Freeman's just because it's a bit cheaper and you could buy the tube (save $$) instead of a small packet. They're good for traveling, 1 time use depending on which packet, or just to give it out as gift. Last year I gave these out to my 3 sister in laws as part of their Christmas gift.

2) Goody Athletique Headbands: $6.00
   This head band is supposed to provide you hold and comfort so that you can be physically active. What did I think? For $6.00, this headband is not worth it! I have long hair and the headband doesn't seem to stay put. It keeps on slipping up from time to time so not worthy to waste your money on it.

3) Soyjoy: $0.99 ~ received dark chocolate cherry
      I tried this for the first time and as much as I love chocolate, I hate it. The texture is very dry so you'll need something to drink it down afterward. You can taste a bit of chocolate, bitterness, and the sourness possibly from the cherry.

4) Not your mother's clean freak : refreshing dry shampoo $5.99
     I don't do much style on my hair as goes with the use of hair product aside from just using regular shampoo and conditioner so I'll be giving this away.

5) Sally Hansen New Triple Shine $4.99 ~Statemint 260
      The one I received is a light green pastel color. I don't love it, yet I don't hate it. Maybe it's just the color but I find that you have to reapply a few times to not have the streak on your nails.


Thank you so much Influenster for sending the Violet Vox Box for me to try out!

Above are my honest opinion of the product received. 

Aussie moist 3 minute miracle conditioner

I usually use Pantene Volume conditioner but ran out of it about a month or two ago so I decided to try something new. I saw Pantene hair masque and wanted to get it but for $6 it was kind of expensive for me since I haven't checked any review on it whether it makes your hair soft or not. Sooooooo....I found the Aussie moist 3 minute miracle  conditioner for about $3 and decide to try it for now. I've now tried it for almost 2 months now and here's my review on it:

Before use: I have long hair so I usually tie it up in a bun or clip it up. My hair feels really dry and damage along with tons of split ends since I don't usually cut or trim it at all. Even with the use of the Pantene volume conditioner, I feel like it doesn't do much but gives little volume.

After use: I noticed a difference immediately after the first use of the aussie conditioner!!!! My hair feels really really soft and I just can't stop touching it!!!! I couldn't believed it at all. Never in my life have I ever had soft hair before and it feels like a miracle....for me that is. I forgot to take the aussie conditioner out of my room a day ago so I just had to use whatever conditioner that was in the bathroom (the clear conditioner) and omg...my head broke out  and hair feels a bit harsh. Overall, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Aussie moist 3 minute miracle conditioner. I'm so glad I made the purchase cause I just love the result.

By the way, I'm 37 weeks along and can't wait to meet my little one! Baby's really low (station 0) and I'm 4 cm dilated already but that doesn't mean that I will go into labor anytime soon. It could be another 3 weeks...who knows since I was 8cm at 38 weeks with my 2nd and didn't even have her until the day after her due date. Overall, hubby, the kids, and I are so ready to meet this little gal ( I hope it's a she since I got everything for girls).
