Certain Dri Review and Giveaway

With the summer here, sweating is a major issue for some people. One way to beat the heat or those noticeable sweat stains, is with an antiperspirant that can curb the waterworks.

One way to combat noticeable sweat is with Certain Dri Anti-Perspirant, the number one over-the-counter antiperspirant recommended by doctors for treating excessive perspiration. While other over-the-counter antiperspirants claim to be "clinical strength" and "waterproof", the Certain Dri formulations - 12% aluminum chloride -Roll-On and 25% aluminum sesquichlorohydrate - New Solid - are the strongest available without a prescription, providing 72-hours of protection with each application. Retail price is $5.50-$6, almost 40% less than the other clinical strength antiperspirant products.

Certain Dri is a great product to safeguard yourself from noticeable sweat whether you're doing physical activities or if you're in a situation that makes you nervous causing you to sweat (wedding, job interview, first date, etc.).

I recently tested the Certain Dri Solid and have to say, this stuff really works! It goes on clear and really helps subside sweating.  In fact, I liked it so much that I used the entire container before posting this review.  Certain Dri gave me the insurance that I could wear a form fitting top or a dark dress shirt and I wouldn't have sweat showing through my blouse.  I also liked the fact that it is fragrance-free so it didn't interfere with my perfume.  If you have a problem with sweating or sweat stains, I would definitely give Certain Dri Solid a try!  Now here is your chance to win a bottle of Certain Dri......

Softlips Review and Giveaway

CONTEST BELOW:

In the summer, I am constantly looking for an effective and protective lip balm to fulfill my needs. I want something that moisturizes and also protect my lips from the sun. I recently tried Softlips on a week long trip to Disneyland and San Diego.

I brought along one of their newest organic lip balms in Pure Honeydew. I mainly used this lip balm in the evenings before bed. The scent was pleasing but not overpowering. The balm contains shea butter, organic oils, and Vitamin E so it was the perfect moisturizer.

During the daytime, I wanted to use something with an SPF so I tried their Strawberry lip balm with SPF 20. Not only was the scent just what I needed to avoid sweet temptations, but the SPF held up to the harsh California sun. I also used this on my two boys and they loved the scent.

We were outside for over 8 hours a day so I did need to reapply after meals. One great thing about Softlips is that the tube is small and convenient for traveling and great for moms with limited room in their purse.

My husband tried the Vanilla Softlips. Let me first explain, he is a lip balm junkie. He has tried them all and is very picky! He loved Softlips, although he probably wouldn't brag to his guy friends. He liked the quality, the scent, and the SPF held up to his high standards. His only request is that the company could make a wider tube of the same product for men. Overall, he was won over and will be using it again. Softlips comes in a multitude of flavors too. I saw the stock at Target this weekend and they carry all the flavors. There is even a limited edition flavor in Sugar Cookie and Cherry that I will be buying soon. Overall, my family found a new lip balm for the summer and all year long!

Would you like to win a tube of Softlips?? Leave a comment about what lip balm you use or if you use one. Make sure to use your name or a fun user name so I can enter you in the drawing. The contest will end on July 5, 2009 at 11:59MST.

I will pick two random winners - multiple comments will not increase your chances of winning. US Residents only please.

Spitz Sunflower Seed Giveaway

Here it is folks - a contest for everyone!

When I come across a product I love, beauty-related or not, I feel the need to tell everyone. That is the case with Spitz Sunflower Seeds. I recently tried this nutritious little snack from a friend and co-worker, Justin. Sure, I have tried other sunflower seeds in the past, but there was something different about this brand. First off, they were flavored. Secondly, they weren't as salty as other brands. I ran off to the store to locate them and couldn't find the exact flavor in that brand (spicy). I emailed Spitz right away and they were quick to respond. They told me exactly where to find them in my town. Their website, spitzusa.com is also full of information. They have recipes, nutritional information and an online store in which you can purchase seeds.

I was thrilled when Spitz offered to sponsor a contest. Not only could I enjoy some more Spitz Sunflower Seeds but I can share them with everyone and prove to you how good they are compared to other brands! They were very generous and now you can benefit.

The first place winners will win a sampler pack of their 6 flavored sunflower seeds (0.7 oz package). The flavors include: Salted, Spicy, Chili Lime, Seasoned, Dill Pickle and Smoky BBQ. The second place prize winners will win a pair of Spicy and Chili Lime.

There will be 40 first place winners and 40 second place winners!
