Check out Charlee Bear's website here.!

Not only is this treat better for your dog than the usual go-tos, they are made right here in the United States.! With all of their major ingredients originating from the US and Canada.(You can read more about this on their website)

My favorite part about this treat is that it wasn't too hard for my chihuahua to eat (it was also the PERFECT size.!) but it was also perfect for our bigger boy, who's a Malamute mix. Usually I feel bad that I'm buying treats to cater to Wendy's little size, but these are perfect for both of them.!

Click here to read Charlee Bear's FAQ On these treats.!

• These treats contain no wheat, grain, soy, or corn. So even the more specialized diets can enjoy these.!
• Locally made in the United States
• Made from natural ingredients like peas, chickpeas, dried fruits (depending on the flavor), and dehydrated meats. So your babies are getting the best ingredients.!
• Every bag has over 350 treats in it.! That's incredible, especially because if your pups love them as much as mine do - they'll go fast ;)
• Every treat is less than 3 calories.!

Product Review: Milk-Bone® Brushing Chews™

This post is imported from my old blog, so this includes an old post template. It has been edited some since the original post, but it still contains my full honest opinion on this product. Stay tuned for new content with a fresh new look.! :)

Today I am going to review a product I received for free to try through PinchME. This review is 100% my own and honest opinion on this product. I do not make a profit from any purchases you make from any of the links I include in this post, I just include them for your convenience to find out more about these incredible products. The product I received this time was Milk-Bone® Brushing Chews™. Please continue reading to find out what I thought about them.!

So I received my PinchMe box this week as I had hoped.! I have some great products to review, starting with today's, that came from this box and I am so excited about it.! 

Front of the insert included with the treat sample.

Check out Milk-Bone's website for more treats.!

One of the great things about these treat-chews is that they come in 3 sizes, Mini, Small/Medium, and Large, based off your dog's weight. So that way they're not biting off more than they can chew, lol.!

If fed daily, these great treats can be as effective as brushing your furbabies teeth twice a week. They are designed with a twist to the bone to encourage your dog to use their whole mouth to chew.! It also has nubs and ridges to help it clean similar to a tooth brush to reduce tartar build-up.

• As mentioned above, they come in various sizes to best suit your furbaby.!
• They have 12 essential vitamins and minerals, including calcium to help with strong bones and teeth.!
• Because of their treat like smell and appearance, they're easy to get your pup to want one once a day to help with better tartar control.

Click here to purchase these at Walmart.!

The back part of the information insert. (Sorry it's so dark.!)

Sooo, when I first signed up for these I was so excited. I've used similar dental care treats for Wendy before, and I really liked those, but I'm always open to trying new things for her to see if they yield any better results. My first impression of these before opening the package was "Wow, these are really big for a mini sized treat.!" so I broke one in half (which was SO hard to do by the way, these treats were like rock solid.! More on that in a second..) and gave her it. It smelt good, similar to bacon and cheese to me, which I guess would be great for getting the pups to think it was more treat than dental care.! But, again, these things are SO hard. I was terrified she'd break a tooth on it.!! The previous brand I've used was softer so she could chew on it and safely eat it like a normal treat, but these are like those rawhide bones hard.! I was watching her very carefully the entire time she was chewing on it. She had it for about 30 minutes with little progress on it before I took it away, because she was starting to get it stuck in her mouth and I was afraid she'd choke on it (this was due to me breaking it in half, but I'm glad I didn't waste the full sized treat.) I tossed the leftover of it to our husky - who also had difficulties with the hardness of it.! And he has literally eaten pork rib bones.!! (Not because we fed him them.. little butthead got into the trash can while we were at the store.!) I'm expecting to receive one for his size as well soon, so I'll have to see how he does with that one, but so far, I'm not impressed at all.! I will definitely be returning to my old treats.

So, With that said, it's time for a rating on these Milk-Bone® Brushing Chews™.. I would give them

❤❤ 2 out of 5 beating hearts ❤ ❤.!

If they weren't so hard, I'd probably like them a lot more. But I'm not down with having to watch my pup like a hawk for hours while she chews on this.! If it took her 30 minutes with little progress to chew half of the bone, I can only imagine how long she'd take to fully eat a full sized one. Obviously every dog could have a different experience with this, but that's just how I feel.

Product Review: Bissell 3-in-1 Stick Vacuum

This post is imported from my old blog, so this includes an old post template. It has been edited some since the original post, but it still contains my full honest opinion on this product. Stay tuned for new content with a fresh new look.! :)

Today I am going to do my first review on a product I actually purchased from Walmart. This review is 100% my own and honest opinion on this product. I do not make a profit from any purchases you make from any of the links I include in this post, I just include them for your convenience to find out more about these incredible products. The product I'm reviewing today is the Bissell 3-in-1 Stick Vacuum.

Check out Bissell's website for more information.!

So one thing I immediately noticed about this vacuum that took me by surprise was how strong the sucking power is.! It's not very noisy, but it will suck up anything quickly.! I love to use it whenever my dog has knocked over her food bowl (all the time) to pick up any stray pieces of food that may of rolled away, it gets them up so easily. My number one use for it though is all the stray dog hair chunks that are all over the house (if you've every owned a husky, you know the struggle of the dog fur everywhere when they're shedding.!) It will suck them up from anywhere with such ease. It's incredible.!

The biggest thing that honestly grabbed my attention when I was first looking for a vacuum was the fact this one came in so many great colors. I bought mine in the teal (my favorite color.!) but it also comes in pink, silver, and orange. There is definitely a color for everybody.! It's also incredibly light, small, and if you break it down and put it back into its original box it can store very tiny (even though it's very small when all put together.! It takes up the same space as a broom for me.!)

• One of the best multi-surface vacuums I've ever used, it really works better than a broom on my hardwood floors.!
• Breaks down into just a hand vacuum, or could be used a hand vacuum with the stick still in place (I do this to get the best sucking with more reach, I use it to clean alongside and under the bed and not be restricted by the vacuum head)
• So light and small, it takes no space to store
• Very, very inexpensive.
• Easy to clean out (and actually holds a decent amount of dirt and junk before needing to be dumped)
• Cute color variety.!

Click here to purchase it from Walmart.!

The vacuum head attachment

One thing I failed to pay attention to when buying this vacuum is that the head does not have brushes, which I have included a photo with the way the head-piece looks underneath because no one has shared one online from what I've seen. Unfortunately, I've not had luck really cleaning my carpet with this vacuum due to it, but that could also be because my rug is in desperate need of a go-over with a full-sized/powered vacuum to pick up all the dog fur that is deeply embedded into it. It does incredible on my hardwood floors (it really does have great suction, it gets the fur from behind the TV stand with incredible ease) but so far I haven't had much luck on my carpets unless it's fur chunks, not fur deep into the rug. Other than that, it's really great.! I've had no other problems.

Bissell 3-in-1 Stick Vacuum without attachment

So to finish up today's review, I would give the Bissell 3-in-1 Stick Vacuum
❤❤❤❤ 4 out of 5 beating hearts ❤❤❤❤ .! 
If I had more luck with my rug, I would definitely give this vacuum 5 hearts, hands down. But, with my current usage and experience, and it's quality for the price, I feel it deserves a very strong 4 hearts.

Product Review: Clinique 3-Step Skin Care System

This post is imported from my old blog, so this includes an old post template. It has been edited some since the original post, but it still contains my full honest opinion on this product. Stay tuned for new content with a fresh new look.! :)

Today I am going to review a product I received for free to try through Crowdtap. This review is 100% my own and honest opinion on this product. I do not make a profit from any purchases you make from any of the links I include in this post, I just include them for your convenience to find out more about these incredible products. The product I received this time was Clinique’s 3-Step Skin Care System for Skin Type 2. Please continue reading to find out what I thought.!

Check out Clinique's site for more information on this.!

So one really great thing about the 3-Step System with Clinique is that you can take a skin type quiz to figure out which products would be best for YOU and your skin concerns. They have something for everything and everybody, and want to make sure that you buy what YOU can use, not what just everyone can.! I had to take this quiz prior to receiving my sample so they'd be able to send me the correct system, but unfortunately I don't think I received the correct one for my skin type - NOT on their fault, completely by my own. You'll hear more about why I believe this happened later on, though.

I was SO excited to try this product out when I signed up for it, I'm always trying to find something that will help me with my skin care concerns so when I saw this, I jumped at it.! The face wash and cleansing lotion leave your skin feeling absolutely amazing.!

• As I mentioned above, the system is for YOUR skin type, Not everyone else's.!
• The 3 Step System hits all your skins needs in one system, no need to buy a million different products.!
• Prices are very fair for such an advanced and well working product.!

Take the quiz to find out your Skin Type HERE.!

So my first impressions with the face wash were that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT.! It leaves me feeling so clean.! The second step to the system, which is the Clarifying Lotion, leaves my skin feeling amazing. If I was ment to stop there, I'd be pleased and ready to take on the world. But, there is a third step to the system, which is where I think I did my quiz incorrectly and got the wrong skin type - I recieved the Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+™ - which, when I use on most of my face, leaves me feeling very sticky and oily. I've started only using it in certain areas (like over my cheeks, on my nose, and through/in between my eyebrows) and it's helped with cutting down the oily look a lot, but it's still very sticky feeling on my skin. I don't think I really needed much moisturizing, so I think I made a mistake with my quiz, and I'm closer to a Skin Type 3.
I wasn't the absolute best about doing the system twice a day as it instructs to, I tried to do it twice daily, but sometimes tiredness just got the best of me and I'd fall asleep before doing the second go (which, those nights I was lucky if I took my makeup off, some nights I didn't even make it that far.) I don't know if this made a huge impact on how well the system the worked for me or not, but I personally didn't see any major differences in my skin since using this system compared to my normal $4 face wash. Again, this could entirely be due to receiving the wrong system, but I will say, I will definitely still be using the first two steps of this until they run out because I felt they worked the best, and if I'm feeling particularly dry I will break the moisturizing lotion out as well. I would definitely still recommend this to friends and family, I'd just advise them to pay close attention to their quiz.!

So to wrap up today's review, I would give the Clinique’s 3-Step Skin Care System
❤ ❤ ❤  3 out of 5 beating hearts.! ❤ ❤ ❤ 
Parts of it worked better for me than others, and for those two products on its own I think it'd receive a 5/5, but I really disliked the Step 3 product I received and I feel it made a difference on how well this worked for me.!

Product Review: Folgers Flavors™ Coffee Enhancers

This post is imported from my old blog, so this includes an old post template. It has been edited some since the original post, but it still contains my full honest opinion on this product. Stay tuned for new content with a fresh new look.! :)

I am going to review a product I received for free to try through Crowdtap. This review is 100% my own and honest opinion on this product. I do not make a profit from any purchases you make from any of the links I include in this post, I just include them for your convenience to find out more about these incredible products. The product I received this time was Folgers Flavors™ Coffee Enhancers in all four of their great flavors. I do want to note that, although I did sample each product I'm reviewing today, I am not a big coffee fan, so I have acquired the help of my fiance (who is a coffee fan) to make sure this review isn't biased at all by coffee-dislike, haha.!

Click here to check out Folger's site for more information.!

So not only do these Flavor Enhancers smell really yummy, they add some really great flavor to your coffee.! We tried every flavor brewed with Gevalia Colombia blend K-Cups, and thought they were a fantastic addition to the otherwise everyday coffee.

So I decided that because this package came with multiple flavors for us to try out, I'd use a rating scale for each with a few topics to get a better view of how we liked each one.
This rating scale is done on a 1 (being the lowest "needs work") to 5 ("Loved it.!") scale;

How would you rate the flavor accuracy and taste of this product.?
Caramel: 4
Mocha: 4
Vanilla: 3
Hazelnut: 4

How well do you think this product's flavor went with your coffee.?
Caramel: 5
Mocha: 5
Vanilla: 5
Hazelnut: 5

How likely are to purchase this flavor again.?
Caramel: 4
Mocha: 4
Vanilla: 1
Hazelnut: 3

Ready to try these out.? Buy them HERE at Walmart.!

One thing we definitely discovered through some trial and error of this product is that the "one squirt" instructions on the bottle isn't super helpful and we ended up adding too much, causing it to not taste very good. So we started using half a teaspoon measured out to our cups and it resulted in a much better flavor mixture with the coffee. I also wish they offered some kind of a citrus flavor, because I think it'd make for a great breakfast flavor.!

I would definitely give these Folgers Flavors™ Coffee Enhancers
❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ 4 out of 5 beating hearts.! ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
While these are a great idea, and some of the flavors are really great, we do wish they had another option with something more citrus-y. They overall are great, and each bottle honestly lasts quite a while. Just make sure you're measuring out the amount so you don't get over-flavored like we did, lol.!

Product Review: BIC® Soleil® Glow® Razors

This post is imported from my old blog, so this includes an old post template. It has been edited some since the original post, but it still contains my full honest opinion on this product. Stay tuned for new content with a fresh new look.! :)

Today I am going to review a product I received for free to try through a website called BzzAgent. This review is 100% my own and honest opinion on this product. I do not make a profit from any purchases you make from any of the links I include in this post, I just include them for your convenience to find out more about these incredible products. The product I received this time was the new BIC® Soleil® Glow® disposable razors. I also received a pretty large stack of coupons to give out to friends and family to try these out too, but I won't be talking about those too much today. So, Please continue reading to find out what I thought about these, and check out the end of this review for some pictures I took of the product.!

Click here to check out Bic's site for more information.!

So this is the first razor I've used with a larger head like these have, which they have named the Comfort Shield™, and I really liked it. I probably wouldn't use it to shave any ~sensitive~ type areas, like the bikini line, just because it is a little big so it's probably not the best for those tight spaces, haha.! It also has a pivoting head, and 3 blades (Which are SOOOOO easy to clean.! All I had to do was run it under the water for a second and it was good as new.! I was amazed.) Another thing I really loved about this razor was the handle.! It wasn't one of those hard plastic, thin, and crappy ones like the $1 razors I'm used to, this one has a great shape to it with a rubber grip, which makes it super easy to keep in your hand and hold for the whole ~Shaving experience~. Definitely loved that.!

• 3 flexible blades that are incredibly easy to clean, and definitely do the job.!
• Lubricating strip infused with Vitamin E and Aloe to leave a silky soft finish
• Amazing handle with rubber grip (maybe I'm the only one who thinks this is such a big deal.?? Either way, I love it.!)

Ready to try these out.? Buy them HERE at Walmart.!

One thing I saw someone complain about online was that they didn't get a close shave with these, I would have to disagree.! I thought my shave was amazing and I've yet to have any ~prickly~ hairs come back, and I'm posting this THREE days after trying the razor.! I used mine for the first time when my upper thighs were in major need of a shave, so it definitely wasn't like going over just a week of shaving regrowth or anything (my thigh hair is super unnoticeable because my thighs are very tan, so it was closer to like.... a month or two... or maybe more. I honestly don't remember when I last shaved my thighs.! Whoops, haha.!) and it went through it like a champ. And it STILL rinsed clean with just a quick run under the water. I was honestly, like, in awe over these. I can't stop rubbing my ~silky smooth legs~.

 I would definitely give the new BIC® Soleil® Glow® disposable razors

❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ 5 out of 5 beating hearts.! ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
They honestly blew me away, I was not expecting to love these this much, but I was sooo wrong.! I have definitely found my new go-to razor for a great shave. *Brownie points for the fact that they just happen to fit in my razor holder in my shower* (I have no idea what brand razor it goes to, because it was stuck to our shower wall when we got the house and I haven't been able to get it off, but now I can just use it because my razor actually fits it, so I was definitely happy about that coincidence.!)

My First Review.!: Cottonelle® Flushable Cleansing Cloths

This post is imported from my old blog, so this includes an old post template. It has been edited some since the original post, but it still contains my full honest opinion on this product. Stay tuned for new content with a fresh new look.! :)

Hellooo lovely Zombabes.!  Make sure you also follow my Twitter and this blog so you'll know when I put out a new review. Today I am going to review a product I received for free to try  through a website called Crowdtap. This review is 100% my own and honest opinion on this product. I do not make a profit from any purchases you make from any of the links I include in this post, I just include them for your convenience to find out more about these incredible products. The product I'll be reviewing today is Cottonelle®'s new Flushable Cleansing Cloths with CleanRipple Texture. Please continue reading to find out how I feel about them.!

Check out Cottonelle's site.!

One thing I REALLY loved about these are how clean they leave you feeling. The "wetness" from the wipe dries on your skin super quick, without leaving your skin feeling dry, soapy, or gross.! They are very soft, they smell great, and really feel relieving on a sore bum (you can read more on this below).!

So I know I mentioned above how clean they leave your skin feeling, but does that mean that they really do the job of cleaning.? Well, yes they do.!! I thought these were amazing at what they were designed to do. In Fact, I think they do such a good job (and leave your skin feeling so nice) I even use these for removing my make-up from time to time. They work really well for that because they don't leave my skin feeling oily or dry, they really clean up all my make-up well, and they smell so nice that I always have to stop and sniff it before I wipe off my eye make-up, haha.! 

Some things to get your heart beating about.!

• They're alcohol, soap, and oil free, which explains why they do not leave skin feeling dry.!
• They're totally flushable, sewer AND septic tank safe.!
• They even come in an amazing one-touch dispenser.

Interested in trying a free sample.? Check out Cottonelle's website here for more information.!

So to wrap up my very first review on this blog, I would definitely give these Cottonelle® Flushable Cleansing Cloths

❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ 5 out of 5 beating hearts.!!! ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

They feel great on your skin, they do their job extremely well, and they are not crazy expensive.! I definitely recommend giving these a try, guys.!
