Luden's New Moisturizing Drops and Chloraseptic Warming Sore Throat Spray Review and Giveaway

CLOSED
 
Winner 25 Jackie
 
 

You may recall several months ago I posted a review for Luden's Vitamin C Drops and Chloraseptic Throat Spray. Well, I recently was given the opportunity to review Luden's and Chloraseptic's newest products.

 
Luden's Moisture Drops
For temporary relief of minor discomfort and protection of irritated areas in sore mouth and sore throat.
 
These Moisture Drops in Kiwi Strawberry flavor can be used by adults and children 3 years of age and older. They help soothe the discomfort of dry mouth caused by illness or allergies. Unfortunately I have both indoor and outdoor allergies. At times they can be pretty severe. One of the things I am allergic to is dust mites and it gets really bad whenever I clean. That sounds like a good excuse not to clean right? Wrong. I am a stay at home wife and mom and unfortunately cleaning is a big part of my job description. When my allergies start acting up I have several symptoms and one of them happens to be an itchy irritated throat and dry mouth. Since moving to Bakersfield, where we  don't have the best air, I have noticed this symptom coming on a lot more. As a matter of fact as I type my throat is is acting up again. Fortunately for me I have Luden's Moisture Drops on hand. They are really good at helping my throat feel better and relieving the annoying dryness. Not to mention hey taste pretty good. These have really been great to have around and I will definitely be keeping them in stock in my medicine cabinet.
 
Chloraseptic Warming Sore Throat Spray
Referred to as “hot tea on the go,” like all Chloraseptic products, it provides immediate relief of sore throat discomfort, with the added benefit of a warm and soothing feeling.
 
Fortunately I have not had the need to use this product, but I know how good a warm cup of tea feels when I am sick with a sore throat. This sounds like the perfect thing to have around when you are suffering from an icky cold. It is available in a honey lemon flavor which are the two exact things I add to my hot tea whenever I am feeling under the weather. You can sign up online with Chloraseptic to receive a $1.00 off printable coupon for your next purchase.
 
Want to win both of these products?

I was given the opportunity to review these brushes and let me tell you how grateful I was. You see, before I received these I had been using the same brush for the past, well, let's just say many years. I know right? I have to tell you I love these brushes. Not only are they so much nicer then my previous hairbrush but I now have several brushes to switch from to achieve the look I am going for. I even found a brush that is perfect for my daughter Penelope's straight long hair, that doesn't pull and maker her cry every time I brush it.

John Frieda® styling tools brushes include:

· John Frieda®Paddle BrushSleek Finish ($12.99): Made with shine-enhancing silicone bristles, natural IONS and a flexible cushion base, this pro-finish brush works in tandem with theJohn Frieda® Full Volume Dryer to smooth fly-aways and reduce frizz for a beautiful finish.
This is the brush that works great at brushing the knots out of little Penelope's hair and leaves it smooth and silky. Man, do I wish I had her hair!
· John Frieda®Cushion Brush Flat Finish ($12.99): Gently untangle wet or dry hair without snags or damage with this flexible cushion base brush, featuring smoothing silicone bristles.
Love this one! It works great on wet hair without pulling. No worrying about split ends.
· John Frieda®Vent Brush Sleek Finish ($12.99): This smoothing brush features silicone bristles, natural IONS, and vents to maximize dryer airflow for rapid styling, the perfect complement to yourJohn Frieda® Full Volume Dryer.
Unfortunately I was not sent this brush for my review.
· John Frieda®Porcupine Round BrushVolume Curls ($14.99): This unique brush features nylon and boar bristles designed to distribute the scalp’s natural oils for added shine and smoothness, an ideal blowout booster. Sizes: small, medium
This is a great brush to use when blow drying if you want to give your hair some added boost and lift. It even gives body to my flat thin hair!
· John Frieda®Large Thermal Round Brush Full Volume ($14.99): Soft waves are easy to create with this heat styling enhancer. Simply pair with your John Frieda®Full Volume Dryer for smooth, frizz-free results.
I gifted this brush to my mom who thinks it's great.

CupPow Review & Giveaway


Mason Jars or better known as Canning jars are all the rage this year ! Whether you use them to store household supplies or you use them as decorations, either way they are a MUST HAVE ~! As I was searching the Internet , I came across THEE most genius use of my canning jars .. Although they are trendy & super chic to have all lined up in your cabinet , they are not very practical to drink from ....... Well..... CUPPOW has made it possible for us to look good & actually drink out of these jars without spilling it all over.. CUPPOW has created the ultimate sippy cups for adults or if you trust your kids with glass then its great for them as well ! Christmas is also around the corner & what a cool & unique gift to get at such a great cost (Retail $7.99)
 
 CUPPOW - is the solution for easier drinking from a canning jar. The canning jar already makes an awesome platform for a travel mug: it’s easy to clean, made of heat-resistant glass, cheap, durable, and when sealed it doesn’t leak. The only problem is that with their large openings, canning jars are not great for spill-free sipping while on the move. So we adapted it - made new lids that lets us drink like a boss from virtually any wide or regular mouth canning jar. It’s a simple eco-friendly alternative to poor-performing and messy disposable hot cups, and over-built and expensive travel mugs.
 
So here's the coolest part of this blog review , its also a giveaway ! Ya ! Before CupPow allowed us at Girly GIrl to review there product , I was already a fan & bought a few for myself (Price $7.99) So when they sent me one to review , I decided to give it away to one of our loyal subscribers ! 
 Here's what you need to do :
1. Go to CUPPOW's website & Like them on FB (upper right hand side of site )

    Arnicare Gel Review and Giveaway

      CLOSED: Winner #29
    I am a fitness instructor, a martial arts student and an on the go single mom. As a result, my muscles ache from time to time from overuse, injury or they succumb to extreme stiffness. In search of natural pain relief alternatives I came across Arnicare Gel, a pain relieving homeopathic medicine. I was sent a 2.6 oz. tube of it to review.

    My tube of Arnicare Gel arrived early August and since that time I have had ample opportunity to use the gel and feel if it really works for pain. I have applied it to bruises, potential bruises, my aching muscles and an injury to the muscles in my foot about a week after I received the gel to sample. I found that Arnicare Gel really is easy to apply. It really is not greasy or sticky and it really does quickly absorbs into my skin.

    The cooling affect for fast pain relief does happen too, though I didn’t feel it to the degree that I expected as I have felt from other pain medications. The difference between Arnicare and most other pain medications I have used in the past is that Arnicare is made with natural ingredients. Arnicare’s single active ingredient is Arnica Montana. Apparently Arnica Montana is a popular homeopathic ingredient too. When my mom stopped by to visit me when I hurt my foot she saw the active ingredient in the pain medication and let me know Arnica is good stuff.

    Arnicare also works naturally with the human body. “There is no risk of overdose, no contraindications, no drug interactions, and no side effects when used as directed” (Communications Specialist, H.R). In addition, Arnicare does not contain artificial colors or perfumes and is paraben-free.

    More information can be found at www.arnicare.com, facebook.com/arnicareusa, or twitter.com/ArnicareUSA.

    The giveaway: One lucky winner will receive one tube of the 2.6 oz. Arnicare Gel. To Enter: Leave me a comment telling me what pains ale you. You can get extra entries for liking Arnicare on Facebook and also for following them on Twitter. As usual you can also get extra entries for following GGG through GFC, Subscribing via email, liking us on Facebook and following via Twitter. Be sure to let me know what you are following.

    This giveaway will end on October 7, 2012. I will choose the winner using Random.org. Please leave a valid email address if it is not visible in your profile. The giveaway is open to US residents only.
