Gettin' All Dolled-Up with a Product Review: Got2Be Volumizing Powder

Oh boy have a got a fun and fabulous product to tell you gals about.  If you like big hair, THIS is the product for YOU. 

Here's the scoop...In this past weeks Smart Source Coupon insert there was a coupon for Got2Be Hair Styling Products.  Now this line has been on the shelves at Walgreen's, CVS, etc for quiet some time but I never gave it much thought.  It is rather pricey for a drugstore hair product being close to $7.00, normal price.  If this was a line of specialty or salon products there would be no problem with the price or even double / triple that price...it is just how the brain THINKS of such things.  With the coupon, a 3.00 off 1 product the price is a little more of a "I want to try this stuff" price....but wait...it gets much better.  Walgreen's has a month long sale of BOGO (buy one get one) FREE...AND you can use a coupon on both the "buy one" and the "get one free"....can ya add that up ladies?  That would make BOTH FREE!!!! and I know we all love FREE!!!!

I bought several of the different varieties as I have quiet a few coupons.  I am planning on trying all of these and posting a short review on each...but today I will start with my FAVORITE (so far).


Here is my before shot (please be kind...LOL)


Pretty flat, huh?
Ok, here is what I did.  I took the little shaker of powder and started sprinkling lightly at the roots.  I started out very easy because I had no idea what the end result would be.  After sprinkling, what I considered "enough" (YMMV) I fluffed my hair and here is the result...
MUCH more volume but rather "fly away" or "I just rolled outta bed from doing something FUN" (a look the Hubbie rather likes but not good to be out and about with).  So I proceeded with my "fixin my hair routine" and came out l this....

It was actually MUCH higher at the crown but the Hubbie said that I looked like Snookie from the Jersey Shore so I tamed it down.  When I woke up the next morning it STILL looked good so I just skipped washing it and went on with my day.  I think the powder absorbs some of the oils.

Since I had quiet a few coupons I went out and bought more of this powder to have in my beauty supple stockpile.  This will definitely be a staple in my routine.



Happy Homemaking,

Tiffany

Vocal Point Product Review: Fresh Express Salad in a Bag

OMG I would have never bought this stuff if I did not have a coupon for a free bag.  Vocalpoint sent me a coupon so I could try and review this product.  IDK why they are doing this, this stuff is not new.  From experience, I knew what would happen...I open it, use a little out of the bag...close it up WITH the little clip they sent me...and by this afternoon it was brown.  Happens everytime I buy this stuff.  I was in a hurry and picked it up at Albertsons last night.  I knew I would only need a small amount for tacos and we would not be eating at home the rest of the weekend. 

I strongly do not recommend...not even if it is free, unless of course you do not plan to use much...but do not waste your time, money or energy opening the bag on this mess.  Unchopped lettuce is cheaper, fresher, and lasts a lot longer....and really?  How hard is it to chop some lettuce?

Oh...and it stinks when you open the bag.

Do you need a little fiber in your diet? Fiber One Brownies Review


If you do not want to try the Prune Milkshake in the photo, and still have a bit of a "problem"...might I suggest a Fiber One Brownie?

I was sent a few samples and was asked to share my opinion (good or bad) with my followers and friends.  These have got to be the best tasting HEALTHY snack I have had in a very long time.  The problem is they are so good it is hard to stop with just one...and since they are HIGH in fiber, you really should STOP with just one.

They are also very filling.  Really, if you need a snack to hold you over till dinner...and have a craving for sweets....and need to get a bit of fiber in your diet...or all of the above...I can highly recommend these 90 calorie treats.

As a matter of fact, most of the Fiber One brand of products that I have tried I would recommend.  I did not like the pancake / waffle mix, however.  The key lime yogurt tastes like key lime pie...I think I even detect a hint of graham cracker crust in an after tastes.  The cereal keeps me going and tastes so good, too. (ha ha just realised this could be taken TWO ways...but I meant keeps me going and hunger free...but it also will keep you going)

So throw that Metamucil, chalky fiber supplement, and nasty tasting prunes away and pick up something from the Fiber One brand.  Go to their site to grab a coupon first....

Now that I have given way TMI, I will stop....

If you would like to get samples and share your opinion, go to Vocal Point for more info.
