My husband and I saw these Campbell's GO Soups at our local store (Jewel-Osco), one day before I got the chance to test the Spicy Chorizo & Pulled Chicken with Black Beans.

The packages have an attractive look from the rest of  brand soups and the big ingredients titles are very appealing. :)  My store sell this product at $2.84, which for me is reasonable. But if you still think is expensive, you can print a $1 coupon in Campbell's Go site.

This last Sunday, in Chicago, We got a very chilly weather. So I tried the Spicy Chorizo & Pulled Chicken with Black Beans to surprise my husband.

I started to heat the soup on my stove, stirring occasionally until hot. The preparation only took me like 5 minutes! When My husband arrived after a long cold day, the soup was ready.

We found that the smell of the Spicy Chorizo & Pulled Chicken with Black Beans soup was chorizo but the flavor of the soup was similar to chili. The ingredients taste fresh. (the chorizo was amazing!)  The soup warmed our tummies and gave us new ideas for soups. :)

TIP: My husband always add green lemons to his soups and I add little pieces of crackers at mine, but You can add cheese, herbs, more vegetables or how about rice? Wow! So many ideas! :)

We can't wait to try the rest of Campbell's GO Soups!

New Purex plus Oxi Detergent [Review]

Introducing  the New Purex plus Oxi detergent!

Purex plus Oxi is the most powerful Purex detergent available. In fact, it works against over 101 different stains!

It is so powerful, it can be used to pretreat stains too!  You only need to add a little of this detergent onto the stain, rub stained fabric together and let sit for 5 minutes before putting in the washer.  Then just wash the clothes as you normally would.  

This laundry detergent  has been specially formulated to work equally well in both High Efficiency washing machines as well as Standard Top-Load washing machines. And because it's from Purex, you know it won't break the bank.  It’s perfect for everyday laundry or heavely soil loads.

This liquid detergent is hypoallergenic and safe for sensitive skin. It comes in Fresh Morning Burs scent.
    
                                         

[MY  TEST]

I already love all Purex products and I’m glad that They always looking for new products to help us to keep our clothes impeccable. 

I tried this new detergent with my son's school shirts. My kid came with a new stain from school everyday, so I used Purex with Oxi as a pretreater. Result: Voila! No more stains! :) The shirt came out bright and
whiter.

Neutrogena Norwegian Formula® Hand Cream [Review]

I love take care of my hands, specially my nails.

Recently I got a new manicure tool! The Neutrogena Norwegian Formula® Hand Cream.

What makes this Neutrogena classic better than the rest?

Well, Just one dab repairs 7 signs of damage: Dryness, chapping, splitting nails, dry cuticles, scaliness and roughness. It's the first hand cream to heal with concentrated glycerin, keeping manicured hands looking beautiful. 














This Long-lasting thick formula is available in Original and Fragrance-free, and have a suggested retail price of $4.99. 

I tried this product in my regular manicure routine and here are the steps of  "How to get a healthy -  fashionable - nails":

1) Remove any prior nail polish with a nail polish remover. (I prefer a "Strengthening" nail polish remover since help soften your cuticles and add strength and resiliency to your nails.) *If you don't have any nail polish, please proceed on with the next step.

2) Soak your nails in some warm water for 5 to 10 minutes. Pat dry.

3) Rub some cuticle cream into cuticles and gently push them back with a cuticle pusher/hoof stick. (I use the Cuccio Naturalé apple cuticle remover with Apple Alpha Hydroxy Fruit Acid.) *DO NOT cut your cuticles, because is painful, may cause infections and your nails grow slowly.

4) Get the nail cutters and shape your nails into a U-shape or a 'squoval'. Cut off any hangnails.

5) Soak your nails in the lemon juice for about 5 minutes. This cure will make your fingernails healthy. Pat dry.

6)  Apply a good quantities of hand cream and massage. (You can try Neutrogena Norwegian Formula® Hand Cream - Original)

7) Then proceed towards shaping your nails. You can shape your nails in either of these 4 basic shapes: round, square, oval and pointed. The shape of the nail should conform to the shape of finger. File your nails in one direction. *NEVER in a back and forth motion! (I like to use Revlon Emery Boards)

8) Clean under the nails with the end of a cuticle pusher/hoof stick.

9) Buff your nails with a shiner. (I use Revlon CrazyShine)

10) Again apply hand cream and massage. (You can try Neutrogena Norwegian Formula® Hand Cream - Original)

11) Apply a layer of base coat, 2 layers of colored polish, and a layer of top coat. (For base coat I use Tough Cookie By Orly, The New Black "Haze" nail polish and for this review I use Butter London "Matte Finish")

After your nail polish is dry, make sure to apply frequently hand cream, in this case, Neutrogena Norwegian Formula® Hand Cream - Original to keep your manicured hands looking beautiful! Here is my hand at the end of this whole process















*TIPS*:
A) Never bite nails. It weakens them and that causes nails to break!
B) Do wear gloves to protect nails and cuticles from housework, gardening and washing dishes.

Definitely this hand cream will be in my manicure tool box, bath cabinet, purse, car, etc. After the first use, you can feel a change in your hands. This thick formula stick very well, does not leave a greasy feeling and the scent is very pleasant. My husband uses it almost every night after his hands were exposed to cold weather. Also I like the price and the fact that the 2oz product is good for 200 uses!

Just a remark:  This product won the "2012 good Housekeeping Seal award"
