Cottonelle & Crowdtap ROCK!!

As a Crowdtap member I was recently privileged to have the opportunity to participate in a Cottonelle Sample and Share!! How exciting!!

I received 3 packages of toilet paper and 3 packages of Cottonelle Fresh Care Flushable Moist Wipes.  These wipes are fantastic!!! Having three kids, they are an ESSENTIAL in my home! As kids go from diapers to the potty, they don't always place as much value in "cleaning down there" as mom once did... that's why I have to have the wipes.  They stay on the back of the toilet in my children's bathroom.  See here...

My son, who is 5, is unfortunately, my biggest offender.  I actually showed him the hilarious Test Your Cleaning Logic Videos.  He laughed, but I think he got the point also.  I even did my own "Test Your Cleaning Logic" challenge with him.  I asked him if he wanted to go swimming in the bath tub with his swim gear.... he was so excited.  I'm such a bad mom, this was my example of things are without water that should actually have it.....

 

But then, we did add the water and all was good and happy!!

 

Back to the sharing part (I tend to get off track.) I kept the 18 pk for myself and of course the wipes.  I shared the rest with co-workers.  Here I am giving some wipes to one of my best office buds.  He said he had wondered whether or not they were worth it.... I then inundated him with more Test Your Cleaning Logic Videos! He laughed and laughed and asked that I email him the link to the videos so he could forward to his friends! I actually think we were laughing about it when I handed him his wipes :)

 

 

Thank you again Cottonelle and Crowdtap for this awesome opportunity and for giving us all a few laughs.... the videos were great!

 

 

 

 



Confessions of a Handsoap Junkie!

So before I tell ya'll about the latest and greatest handsoap on the market, I have something to say. My name is Laura Angelus and I am addicted to handsoap! I consider myself a minimalist and low maintenance.  I don't spend a lot of time doing my hair or painting my face or slathering on layers of smell goods.  As a professional with three kids there is only so much time I have.  But I do use handsoap.  And I don't skimp or save in that area... it's my personal splurge.  It's my 30 seconds of self pampering throughout the day.  I must wash my hands 20 times a day so it may as well smell like you were oceanside with a cocktail or in the middle of a rainforest, right?

I am a BzzAgent! Sounds fancy doesn't it? I submit my opinions on free products and in turn continue to receive said free products.  I was recently able to sample Lysol Touch of Foam Antibacterial Hand Wash.  LOVED IT!  I had been an avid Bath and Body Works handsoap fan because they were so fragrant, but I've switched. This stuff is super fabulous.  It smells WONDERFUL!! I have the Creamy Vanilla Orchid scent and am anxious to try out the other scent... Rose & Cherry in Bloom (they only sell the 2 scents at my local Walgreens).  To find all you need to know including ingredients about this amazing product just click here.

Did I mention how thick and rich the foam was??  It's so luxurious. When I did a side by side comparison between the Touch of Foam and my standard Bath and Body Works Foam handsoap, there was a HUGE difference. The Touch of Foam stayed on your hand in a thick almost lotion-y mound.  However, the Bath&Bodyworks soap just sort of slid off, like it was watered down.

Here is a photo of our test, please excuse the dirty dishes, I am no competition for the speed at which they arrive in my sink ....

Woolite Samples via Crowdtap! Oh My!

Who knew Woolite was good to use every day to keep your clothes lasting longer and looking newer longer? I sure didn't... until I joined Crowdtap and became educated after this sampling.  I wish I had known this all along.  One of my favorite wardrobe staples are vintage tees.  Maybe it's because I wear them so much, but after what seems like not very long, they always get these tiny holes and I have to retire what just became my favorite tee! I just purchased a few new vintage tees and I am now hopeful they will last longer with Woolite.  I'll be sure to let yall know. 

I gave out my samples at work.  I knew no one would know about the awesome benefits of Woolite and working class people could always use samples.  How much money could we all save if we didn't have to replace worn out clothes as often?  Here are a few photos that show how appreciative everyone was.

Marc Jacobs DOT Cocktail Party via CROWDTAP

I am so very thankful for becoming a member of Crowdtap this past December. I have received wonderful things as a reward for my input on certain brands and the like. My most recent opportunity was hosting a party in honor of Marc Jacobs new perfume DOT. I received a kit with just about everything I would need to hold an excellent party. I added drinks and sushi. We had a blast and everyone loved the perfume. In my party kit I received a full sized bottle of DOT that everyone wanted. We had a blind testing with DOT, The One, and Issey Miyake. All but 2 people preferred DOT- pretty good results! Here are pics from the party!

Old Navy Sample & Share via Crowdtap!

So I had my first Sample & Share on Crowdtap! I received a coupon for 2 free tees from Old Navy for myself, and 2 for a friend.  I took my bud and coworker Jasmine who was totally stoked that we were able to participate in this

 

Here we are arriving at my local Old Navy at Coastland Center Mall.

 

 

We found so many tee's that we loved!

 

 

AAAAnd a few that weren't for us...

 

But the most important part is we found too many great options that

we ended up purchasing more than our 2!

 

 

 

I am so grateful that we got experience this! It was soo much fun!

Thank you Crowdtap and Old Navy.

 

If you haven't tried Crowdtap yet... what are you waiting for??

It's fun and addictive and rewarding!
