BzzAgent Review: Scrubbing Bubbles

As a busy mom who has day job, Etsy shop to take care of and a house to clean, I need to be effective and efficient. Finding the right products that helping me do the job is very important. 

So when over a month ago I was invited to join the Scrubbing Bubbles® One Step Toilet Bowl Cleaner campaign of bzzagent, I said Yes!

 A kit was sent directly to my house and I got my chance to try out the Scrubbing Bubbles One Step Toilet Bowl Cleaner. When I opened the package, I was hesitant about how to put the kit together.  It looked complicated but when I read the instruction on the side of the box, it was actually VERY easy. And that's my friends, I know things will just get easier from then. 

 I have 4 bathrooms and one kit. So, I choose the bathroom that we use the most and see if it works well. How does it work? First, I installed a refill can of cleaner into a base on the floor beside the toilet. It has a white tube cover that gives the clean look to it. Then the base is connected to a sprayer. I clipped the sprayer to the toilet bowl. It's very easy as I said. The step-by-step instruction has pictures to follow. Make sure you get a clean toilet bowl, to begin with, and it will maintain keep it clean. So here is the deal, one step twice a day and it keeps the toilet clean. It features a 360-degree action sprayer that covers the complete bowl, even under the rim. All you need is to step on the foot pedal for one second. Soon after that, you could smell the freshness. The cleaner has a Fresh Mountain Morning scent, a smell that is not too strong which I like. My little one is my helper. He's so happy for being useful, stepping on the pedal and seeing the spray in action. 

The retail price is about $10 and the refill is about $5. No batteries are required. Refill cans last up to 30 days which come to think about it, it's worth your 30 minutes/ month from bending, scrubbing, cleaning the dripping mess you make, and gritting your teeth. I'll buy more kits for the other bathrooms and refill cans with coupons that I receive.

BzzAgent Review - Titanium (TM) Maximum Security

Over a month ago, as a member of BzzAgent, I was invited to join the Titanium Maximum Security campaign.

 

It was a perfect timing as we just bought a new desktop and the 30-day free trial from Norton Virus had about to expire. I signed up and was given a one-year free subscription for up to 3 computers including smartphones. Isn't that awesome?

Protecting ourselves from internet dangers is very important. We are surfing the internet at almost all times. I have a couple of online shops, twitter and Facebook accounts, just to name a few, in addition to e-mail account. I download data and images constantly and therefore need to have a secured system that protects us from virus, spyware, hackers, etc.

My husband installed the software into our desktop and laptop, but held off in installing to the smartphone as he wanted to see how it works first in our desktop and laptop.

 

PRO:

The installation is pretty straight forward. FAQ and installation guide are available via video. And if we would have any difficulties in setting it up, there is technical support team that we could reach.

Every couple of weeks, we diligently keep up with the updates and it's an easy and user-friendly task to do.

Another thing I like about Trend Micro Titanium, compared to Norton Virus is that it gives a monthly review/ update on how it had successfully protect us. For example, how many spyware that it was able to detect.

CON:

We find that since we have installed the Trend Micro Titanium, our computer is a bit slower. I'm not sure if the software takes a lot of memory space.

Overall, Trend Micro Titanium is a good virus protection software. It might not be the greatest but I'm quite happy with it.

BzzAgent Review: McCain Purely Potatoes

I love being a BzzAgent! I receive invitations to try new products and one of them is McCain Purely Potatoes. After saying 'yes' to the invitation, coupons were sent to me including a coupon to try the White Potato Chunks or Sweet Potato Chunks for free! Decision... decision... decision...

I picked Potato Chunks by the way this time but I will try the Sweet Potato this weekend. A busy mom like I am, having an on-line shop on top of my 9-5 pm day job as plus raising a 3 years old boy, I need something quick and simple in preparing family dinners.

I made mashed potatoes with this. Again, it's so easy and delicious! What so impressive is that it's made from 100% real potatoes. It's packed in a microwave ready bag and just pop it in the microwave in minutes. Skip the washing, peeling, and cutting and you can have your dinner ready in less than 30 minutes. Now that is what I call time-saver (and energy! Lol). You can find these in the frozen potato and french fry section of all major grocery stores. The price is reasonable ($3.49) minus $1.00 off coupon I have, what not to love.

BzzAgent review: Multibionta

As part of being a BzzAgent, a couple of weeks ago I received products to try: Multibionta.

I take multivitamin daily but I honestly haven’t heard about Multibionta in the past, not until now. However, what encouraged me to try it is that Multibionta is not only multivitamin. It has probiotics which are a good thing! We (my husband and I) used to take priobiotics separately in addition to dailyt multivitamin intake. We bought probiotics sold in a local organic store and it’s not cheap let me tell ya and decided to not purchasing them any longer.

Multibionta offers a unique combination of probiotics, vitamins and minerals that all work together to strengthen the digestive and immune systems. Working together, the vitamins and minerals in Multibionta encourage the growth and survival of the probiotic cultures in the gut. Plus, a healthy gut flora is also capable of improving the absorption of certain minerals, and of producing specific vitamins.

Did you know that about 70% of the immune system resides in the gut? That’s why it’s so important to promote good digestive health in order to boost immunity. Stress, poor eating habits, physical strain, antibiotics or other drugs can disturb the good bacteria in the gut. You can support a healthy level of good bacteria to your gut by taking a probiotic supplement like Multibionta.

So...I've tried Multibionta for a couple of weeks. I think taking them daily has helped me a lot to stay healthy. The recent moving was a big thing and could be stressful and so far we manage it well.

Sign up for 30 Days to Great Challenge and you’ll receive a $10 coupon and be entered for a chance to win an iPad!

SatinPerfect

Being a BzzAgent can be rewarding. Once a while I receive invitations to join campaigns. I accept them if the products are something that I can use, obviously.


Recently I joined Philips SatinPerfect Epilator BzzCampaign. They sent me a sample (HP6570) to try and tell them what I think of the product and share my opinion with others.

I'm new to epilation. It's a method of hair removal. It's similar to a razor but it removes the hairs by pulling them all the way from the roots. So maybe like waxing but less messy and painful.

So what's the Bzz?

• Smoother, faster, longer-lasting
• One stroke away from silky smooth
• Luxury for legs

The manual is very useful especially for someone like me who never used epilator before. It gives suggestions as what to do and which attachment part to use for first-timer. I honestly was a bit nervous when I turn it on. Perhaps because I use the regular manual shaver where there is no machine noise involved. As mentioned in the manual, there is pulling sensition involved but your skin gets used to the sensition over time. What I really like is that I don't feel the after the fact irritation that I usually feel when I use my shaver. It does feel smooth and it's supposed to stay smooth for weeks, we'll see.

I have 2 coupons up for grab: save $10 for SatinPerfect epilators (HP6576, HP6570) and LadyShave Contours (HP6345, HP6335); or save $5 for BikiniPerfect HP6375. These manufacturer's coupons are valid only in Canada, expiry date: January 31, 2011. If you're interested to try this epilator and would like to get a coupon from me, leave me a comment.
