SoapBox Shampoo and Conditioner Review

Thanks to Influenster, I got to try SoapBox Shampoo and Conditioner. 

I was reluctant to try it with my freaky frizzy hair, but it was great.

I tried it twice to make sure that it wasn't a fluke.

The first time, I blow dried my hair and it was silky soft all day.

The next day it was still silky soft and I was surprised.  

The shampoo had a lot of lather, and the conditioner went a long way.

It's not often that I have a shampoo and conditioner that makes my hair soft AND manageable.

So, I decided to use my normal shampoo and conditioner, and use the SoapBox again a couple days later.  Again, my hair was softer and silkier than with my normal shampoo.  I'm impressed.

The other thing that is awesome about SoapBox, is that there are codes on the back of the bottles that you can enter on their website and each code entered provides a month of clean water in countries that need it.  My codes went to Cambodia and Ethiopia.  

This is what the screen will look like when you enter your codes:

Overall, I'm impressed with this shampoo and conditioner and will continue to use them.

Braun Forehead Thermometer...It works for cranky hubby's also!

I recently got the Braun Forehead Thermometer to try out from Influenster.  I love getting these things, because they're usually something that I need, and about at the right time.

Luckily, Monster hasn't been sick lately.  BUT, the day I got it in the mail, Mike wasn't feeling well.  So, I figured, hey, I can try this out on him.  He is on the sofa saying he doesn't feel well, and I go over to him and within a couple seconds I can see that he doesn't have a fever.

I had a forehead thermometer from when Monster was little.  It was hard to read because the numbers were small, and it was not backlit.  Which means, if I took his temperature in the dark, I would have to walk out of the room to see what it was.  I rarely used it, except when Monster was really sick because I just didn't like it.

With the #BraunTherms it was much better.  This thermometer not only has a light where you can read the temperature, it's COLOR CODED!!!!  It will show you a green, yellow, or red light when you take the temperature so you don't even have to look at the numbers if you're in a hurry.  (You know...when the kid won't hold still!)  And the numbers on it...they're HUGE!  You don't have to put on reading glasses to see exactly what the temp is.

The only reason I typically use a thermometer is when I have to make sure and document if there's no fever, and for how long.  This is usually for school.  Now, when ever Mike or Monster say they're not feeling well, I can bring out the thermometer without hesitation and make sure they don't have a fever.

If you're a new mommy, or even a mommy or wife, I would suggest this thermometer for your First Aid Kit.  You won't ever have to wonder if you read the numbers right, the color coding makes it super easy for everyone to be able to use, and fairly reasonable in price as far as forehead thermometers go.   I found some on Amazon, starting around $50.

I DID THE DISHES!!!

I know this may not be a big thing for most of my readers, but DH and I have an agreement.  I cook all the wonderful food and he does the dishes.  I. HATE. DISHES.

It works out fairly well with it, and I do wash the dishes if I have to, but will do anything NOT to do it...LOL.

So, this morning DH got a heartattack!! I DID THE DISHES!!  I used my new Palmolive Fresh Infusions that I got from my Influenster VoxBox.  

As soon as I got it on Tuesday when I got my VoxBox, I was excited.  I've been using a different dish soap for as long as I can remember, and I stayed away from Palmolive because my mom always used it and I usually stay away from things to do anything like her.  

But I'm an open minded person, and open to try anything.  And, I tried it this morning, (Yes, I washed the dishes) and I'm kinda liking it.  

This is what my sink looked like before I started...I actually kept the dishes over the past couple days so I would have a full sink.  This is one of the few parts in my life where I'm NOT Eco-Friendly and I NEVER fill the sink up with water...I always wash my dishes under running water.

And, LOOK...

Clean Dishes!!! Done by me!!! WooHoo!! And my hands were soft also...I didn't need any lotion after doing the dishes like I usually do on the rare times I do the dishes.

 The Palmolive in my clean sink!! I'm loving this scent!!

 

Here's the other sink that I didn't use.  I love how the bubbles come up from the drain! LOL

The only thing I didn't like was the bottle is round and very hard to grip with wet hands.  Maybe if there was a little groove or two that would help people pick up the bottle with wet hand!! But, this is a new product and I'm pretty sure that they're working on that!!

If you would like to get a coupon for these, please contact me using the buttons on the upper right side, and I will send one.  I only have 3 of them, I've already given away a few.
