Scotch-Brite Scrubbing Dishcloth

Rated: 5/5.!

A few months back I got this Scotch-Brite reusable scrubbing dishcloth in a PinchMe box. And.. I'm honestly surprised.! I used this product for the first time on one of my large pans after making a dinner that left the dish caked in dry cheese sauce - something that usually calls for lots of time soaking, and lots of scrubbing. I took the wet dishcloth to the pan, no pre-soak, and after just a slight scrubbing to the bottom of the pan - a huge area was already clean.! I was shocked.! I didn't expect this to work so well, honestly. I've been using this cloth for a while now too, it's been washed and dried many times, and is still holding up incredibly well. I have really grown to love this thing.! Absolutely worth it.!

Kaboom Disinfex 3-in-1 Bathroom Cleaner

Rated: 3/5.!

So a few weeks ago I received the Kaboom Disinfex 3-in-1 Bathroom Cleaner from Smiley360. I was super late to trying it out due to evacuating our house for 5 days for the hurricane earlier this month, but I finally broke the bottle out and put it to the test last night.! So, before I get into my review, I need to explain a little. We live in an older trailer that has VERY hard water. It covers everything with horrible water spots, has stained our tub terribly from the well water, and since it sat empty for a few years before we bought it, I've been fighting to get rid of these stains and some others caused by poor maintenance since the beginning. Due to this, our house looks filthy in my photos, which is really embarrassing.! If I could review this without including any, I probably would, but I don't feel like you'll get to see what effect this product had on our hard spots if I didn't. So please don't judge too harshly off the little bit you can see in photos. I promise my house is clean, lol.!

On to the review.. So, like I mentioned, I have really bad hard water spots all over my faucets. I figured the first place to really test this products ability then would be on the kitchen sink.! 
It did really help cut down some of the hard water on the faucet, though it didn't do much for the sink itself. This was after only one use, leaving the product on for about 4 minutes. I plan to keep up using it to see if it'll really strip all of it off though, since it did get a good bit off on just one go.! I hoped for better results, but I should have lowered my expectations considering I know how hard this has been to get off in the past. No product is perfect so I know none will get this sparkling with just one use. I was happy knowing my sink was now disinfected though and I moved onto the bathroom.

The first thing I tried it on in my bathroom was our tub. Our tub is incredibly gross looking thanks to years of use and no real good cleanings. Even bleach doesn't get this tub sparkling, so I wasn't expecting this product to do anything for it either. It did good for a general clean up, but it didn't break down any of the stains or clear off any the badly built up soap scum there was, so no great results there. I was again happy knowing it was at least disinfected though. It didn't do much for the faucet either, but it's a really old faucet that I doubt ever saw much love in the past.  No pictures of this, because I forgot a close of up the faucet before using the spray, oops.!

It did wonders for my bathroom sink though, which is one of the newest pieces in our bathroom. It needed a general wipe down really bad before this, so excuse the ickyness in the photos, haha. I was really impressed with how well it cleaned the sink and how it shined after though.! I guess since this sink doesn't have nearly as much build up in it, the product got to really work its wonders in here. Even the faucet looked great and shiny. I was definitely happy with this result, despite being kind of unimpressed with the others.! 


I also used this product to wipe down the outside of my toilet, and it really helped shine things up. I loved knowing it was disinfecting the nastiest part of any bathroom. Over all, I was happy with the clean and knowing it was killing 99.9% of germs on these commonly used surfaces. I just wish it had done a little more for my hard water spots, and that it was a more noticeable clean in the areas of my bathroom that have those build ups. Overall, I don't think this is a product I'd go out and buy regularly. But, I was happy with the results I got from this free bottle, and I will continue to use it to see if it helps with more time.

Paper Mate Ink Joy Gel Pens

Rated: 5/5.!

I received two of the new Paper Mate InkJoy Gel Pens from Crowdtap a few months back.! These pens are supposed to be quicker drying than average gel pens, to prevent smearing. I have used these pens a lot since receiving them, and I definitely agree with that claim.! I haven't had any issues with smudges, and these pens write so smooth.! They are my favorite for making up my grocery list as they are so colorful and fun, but also write so easily. I plan to pick up a few in black for my fiance to replace his normal work gel pens.!

Cottonelle Clean Care Toliet Paper

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 comparing the amount of toilet paper received in a pack of Cottonelle's Clean Care toilet paper against Charmin UltraStrong. Both are double rolls.
I received a 4 pack of Cottonelle's Clean Care toilet paper for reviewing purposes.

Cottonelle's double roll includes 208 single ply sheets per roll,
Charmins UltraStrong includes 154 2 ply sheets per roll. While yes, the Charmin is double ply, I promise you there is no difference against the strength and durability of Cottonelle. I typically purchase by sales, which is why I currently have Charmin, but I love Cottonelle's Aloe infused toilet paper, and it is GREAT.
A visual difference with every roll:

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.
wpid-20151001_003623-1.jpg
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 pinksilver, 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.!

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.

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.
