My family is already a Honey Bunches of Oats fan. The variety of cereal that they have is amazing!
Their new addition to their line "Honey Bunches of Oats Fruit Blends - Mango Coconut" is spectacular.
From the first moment you open the bag, You can smell the Mango/Coconut scent.
My husband like to eat his cereal with milk and I like mine with strawberry yogurt (drinkable/smoothie).
Both are agree that this cereal have the right texture, not to crunchy and not to sweet, very enjoyable.
But for me the cereal taste only to Mango, while my husband say taste at Coconut.
Well, the good thing is that both like this new cereal ! :)

-Bathroom:  With the Multi-purpose cleaning, I cleaned all my bathroom (cabinets, sink, etc..) I used Borax for one week overnight and I was able to remove the rust stain in my toilet.

Claritin-D [Review]

The solution for your sinus cold!

Lately the winter in Chicago is very calm and I've saved me from getting me sick. But my husband sinus is present like every winter season. :S

Sometimes I use Children's Claritin Grape Chewables for my son allergies, but my family never try Claritin-D 12 Hour Allergy and Congestion before, since now!

I gave this Claritin to my husband, who works at night, time when his sinus affects him more.

He is impressed that the stimulant effects won't interfere with his work, since He feel more alert and experience no side effects.  He works up to 10 hours, and this product effectively relieves his symptoms up to 12 hours!

The only problem is the price of this item. I think that $13-$15 for a package of 10 tablets is expensive, the product really worth it… but is only good to buy if the Claritin-D 12 Hour Allergy and Congestion is on Sale or if you have a really good coupon, like the $10 OFF that I got. Now I understand why my friends and family where so surprised with the $3 OFF Coupons and I'm glad that I could share this special offer with them :)

For more information about Claritin-D, check out their website HERE or visit them in Facebook.

New Purex BABY Detergent [Review]

Purex presents their NEW liquid detergent made especially for babies! Gentle for them, tough on stains.

Purex Baby detergent delivers the same bright, white clean you've come to expect from Purex, yet is sensitive on baby's skin. Plus, it has a gentle baby-inspired freshness that families will love.

The dermatologist -tested formula guarantee to remove stubborn stains without hurting delicate clothes, like those adorable little footie pajamas.

Like all Purex detergents, Purex Baby is specifically designed to ensure proper performance for all washers, from high efficiency to traditional top-loader washing machines.

I know that you want the best for your child. Thanks to Purex, that does not have to mean spending a fortune on baby-safe products. Diapers cost enough already, so save some money on Purex Baby detergent, which costs a fraction on the leading brand, without jeopardizing quality.

                          Gentle on Baby's Skin.
                        Tough on Baby's Messes.

[MY TEST]

I love this NEW baby detergent!

My kids are not babies anymore, but They can be really messy!
Some stains are more difficult than others plus they have several delicate clothes that need extra care. I always wash all my kids clothes separate from adult clothing.

Before I put my kids clothes on the laundry machine, I used Purex Baby as a pretreater to remove those stains that were more penetrated, like pasta sauce, jelly, etc.. I left them to rest for 15 minutes and then I started to wash them.

Result = Purex Baby took all the stains and protected my kids clothes at the same time. Also left a sweet baby smell that lasts for days!
My eldest son suffer of sensitive skin, so is good to know that Purex is also protecting my son skin since this detergent is Hypoallergenic.

I got the Medium [814] shade. 
At first the color of this product is an opaque white with "beautifying beads" [encapsulated pigments infused in an ultra-light lotion with antioxidants Vitamins C & E]. When you are applying L'Oréal Paris Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream, It feels like a facial exfoliator, because the beads feel a little grainy.
