Febreze Noticeables Moroccan Bazaar Scented Oil Warmer Review

This week I tried out the new Febreze NOTICEables Moroccan Bazaar scented oil warmer for review.  The packaging says this about the scent: “Inspired by the fragrances of fresh-ground ginger and nutmeg that fill the air in the spice markets of Casablanca.”  With a description like that, who wouldn’t want to smell this scented oil air freshener in their house?! This was my first time using a plug-in air freshener of any brand, so I didn’t know how strong or noticeable the scent would be.  For this reason, I chose to put it in my rather small bathroom so that I would be able to tell how quickly it could scent a room. Easy to Use Having never used a plug-in freshener like... »View more

Review: Febreze Hawaiian Aloha Candles

Check out this deliciously scented Febreze Hawaiian Aloha Candle I just got to review! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, one of the best parts of my job is all the free products we get to test out and keep for free!  Watch this video to see all the nifty new products Febreze sent me to try out (subscribers will have to click through to this article to watch the video): Out of the entire pack of items from Febreze, the first one I tried out was the Febreze Hawaiian Aloha candle.  It smells amazing, and you don’t even have to burn the candle to appreciate the scent.  I tried setting the candle out on my desk unlit to see how much of the smell would really be detectable. ... »View more

Review: Always Infinity & The Venus Week

Many of you moms have already tried the new Always Infinity pads, since they were featured as popular samples in the last few months.  I was able to test them out myself, and found the material to be remarkably different from regular pads, even when just opening the package.  Get a free sample of Always Infinity here to try it for yourself (supplies are limited, so hurry).  The Always Infinity is a new kind of women’s pad that is made with Infinicel.  Now on paper, Infinicel is a material that absorbs 10 times its own weight.  But in real life, this material is just about as close to feeling like sponge cake as you can find in something that is NOT actually a sponge... »View more

Review: White Cloud Green Earth Toilet Paper and Paper Towels

As a Walmart More Than 11 Moms mommy blogger, I get to try out lots of new products.  We recently checked out the new White Cloud Green Earth toilet paper and paper towels.  Both the paper towels and toilet paper are made from 100% recycled paper and recycled fiber, making them a great green choice for environmentally conscious moms. Sources:  From the back of the package, we learned a little about the recycled materials the White Cloud paper products are made from: “Green Earth comes from everyday recyclables like office paper and magazines, deflecting megatons of waste paper from entering landfills and saving numerous trees from commercial harvest.”  Value: ... »View more
