No More Scrubbing! Wet & Forget Weekly Shower Spray {Review & Giveaway}

One of the cleaning jobs I hate doing most is scrubbing down my bathroom shower.

Especially now that I have an all glass shower, keeping it clean and spot-free is a headache.

Wet & Forget heard my complaint and sent me a bottle of their Wet & Forget Shower, a no-scrub weekly shower spray to try.

I figured to really test the product I would only spray one panel of my shower, and leave the other one to it's natural devices.

One of the things I noticed while using this product, is that there isn't a harsh bleach smell or noxious odor that comes with most shower cleaning products. In fact, the shower spray comes in a soft vanilla essence, which is a nice change to the typical chemical spray smell.


Could it really be as easy as a once-a-week spray to keep my shower clean?

Wet & Forget Shower Spray

I like that the bottle has a spray nozzle with a long extension to reach up to the tippy top parts of my shower and all the crevices in between. 

I just kept the bottle in the corner of my shower, so I wouldn't forget to spray each week. 

RESULTS

So, here's the shower panel that I sprayed once a week, for 4 weeks with the Wet & Forget Shower:

It's really not very easy to take a photo of glass. But, as you can probably see, it's pretty darn clean and has minimal water spots or hard water residue.


Now, here's the panel of my shower that I did not spray with Wet & Forget Shower, and just left alone for 4 whole weeks.

Untreated Sower Panel

Gross right? See all those soap scum spots?

Here's a closer look, if you're into seeing the nitty-gritty:

CLOSE UP: Untreated Shower Panel

I really didn't think I'd be able to notice such a marked difference as this.  Well, as they say, photos don't lie and I think this really shows that this product does what it says it will!

You know, there are so many products that I come across that claim to solve a problem then only work a portion of the time, or only in the most ideal environments.  So, I love it when I can see results like this from a product that is straightforward and easy to use.

Why Buy Wet & Forget Shower?

• Cleans your shower with an easy once a week spray
• No scrubbing
• No harsh bleach, ammonia, dyes or irritants
• Calming vanilla scent
• Spray nozzle and bottle are easy to use, even in tall showers

Monsters Can Be Fun and So Can Trips to the Dentist With These Tips from America's ToothFairy!

Fear of the unknown can have a negative impact on a child’s feelings toward their dental visits.  Ensuring that your child is familiar with the dental practice and the people that are going to help them keep their smile healthy will ease their fears and make the dental visit go smoothly.

• Visit the dentist with your child prior to their first appointment.  Help your child understand what to expect on their visit by taking a tour of the practice and asking the dental assistant or dental hygienist to explain what will be done and demonstrate how each instrument will be used.  Not only will this help ease your child’s fears, but it also creates a wonderful learning opportunity!

 

• For slightly order children, bring them along to observe your routine dental cleaning and exam. This will allow them to ask questions, see how each instrument will be used, eliminate potential fears by observing your experience and help them understand the importance of practicing good oral health behaviors. (Contact your dental office prior to your appointment to advise them that your child will be with you.)

 

• Regular dental visits will enable your child to develop a sense of familiarity and comfort with the dental team and practice as well provide vital preventive care necessary for a healthy smile.

 

• Reinforcing concepts such as daily brushing and flossing, by posting a calendar and rewarding your child a gold star or sticker for every day of excellent oral care.  Help get your child excited about their next dental visit by bringing the calendar with you to show the dentist.

 

• Allow your child to bring their favorite toy or blanket with them on their dental visit to give them an added sense of security and comfort.

 

• Reading can have a soothing and calming effect on your child.  Bring their favorite book to read to them during their dental appointment.

 

• Let your child wear a costume on their dental visit.  This special treat can help them view going to the dentist as a fun activity. 

  Be positive about going to the dentist.  Avoid grumbling about your own dental appointments and help your child understand that going to the dentist helps them keep their smiles healthy!   This is important because after all, the ToothFairy likes to collect healthy teeth!

Which Diapers To Put On Baby Registry? Snug & Dry Diapers with a NEW SureFit* Design!

Diapers, Diapers, Diapers!

When I was pregnant with my first baby, I remember creating a baby registry and having no earthly clue of which brand of diapers to include on my list. 
 

Baby number two, and thousands of diapers later, literally, I feel as though I'm a bit of an expert on the topic. 

An expert on motherhood? No.

An expert on diapers? Yes.

Speaking from experience, the only name you need to add to that registry is HUGGIES. 

I have tried all the major brands, the cheap ones...the expensive ones, and have continuously returned to Huggies as my brand of choice.

Honestly, I have been approached by numerous diaper brands.  All requesting that I review their diapers on my blog, but figured I should stand up for the brand that has actually been in my diaper caddy for the past two years. 

 

If you didn't already guess, it's Huggies. 

I was excited to hear that they recently updated their Snug & Dry Diapers with a NEW SureFit* Design and wanted me to give them and their Natural Care Wipes with NEW Triple Clean Layers a test run on my little munchkin.

I'm not gonna lie, getting a diaper on this one (no matter what brand) is not an easy task. She's a major squirmer compared to her older sister. But once I got the diaper on, she was on her way to sitting, squatting, crawling.

So, far this SnutFit* waistband means no leaks for Baby O.!

Yes, even with yoga moves like this, she stayed dry and so did my carpet!

Look at those chunky legs!  I'm happy to report that with all the ups and downs (she's learning to walk), Huggies Snug & Dry Diapers have held up their bargain of offering up to 12 hours of leakage protection.

Also, their Natural Care Wipes with NEW Triple Clean Layers worked like magic on cleaning up the tough diaper messes. I found myself using these wipes on my coffee table and to clean up little household spills as well. Hey, if it works......right?

Hey, if I'm not scared to have her sit on my lap like this, that must mean something is working, right?

Well, at the end of the day, I'm still sold on Huggies Snug & Dry Diapers. No leaks, no rash, no nonsense. 


Plus, it makes her smile like.............well.............THIS!

 

FUN FACT

I'm not the only one Huggies sent some diapers to for some major baby testing. Huggies, recently sent their Snug & Dry Diapers with the NEW SureFit* Design to hundreds of parents in Round Rock, Texas to be the official Huggies "Test Town" - after boasting an almost unnatural baby boom as of late. 

You've got to watch this video. It's great:
 

Questions is:


Are you ready for up to 12 hours of leakage protection? Or, as I like to think of it...up to 12 hours of super awesome, damp-free cuddle time?

Executive Women's Day at HP Byron Nelson PGA Tour - May 14

If I don't respond to your comments today, it's because I'm hanging out at the HP Byron Nelson Championship in Irving, TX!

 

Photo courtesy of: http://www.hpbnc.org

I had no idea what the HP Byron Nelson Championship was until a few short months ago when the PGA invited me to Astellas Executive Women's Day at Four Seasons Resort on the PGA tour. 

The Executive Women's Day is an exciting new opportunity offered at many of the PGA tour stops where local executive women will experience a day of networking, as well as personal and professional development. 

I'm quite excited about the "behind the scenes" tour and hope to learn more about the game of golf itself. I'd love to have my little girls learn the game of golf at a young age, as well.

Here's what I'm in for:

Schedule of Events

• 8:30a - 10:15a  Power Breakfast & Panel Discussion

• 10:30a - 12:30p  HP Byron Nelson Championship - Behind the Scenes Tour

• 12:45p  -2:00p  Keynote Luncheon - Keynote Speaker, Molly Fletcher

• 2:30p - 4:30p  Wine Down Network Up

I'm so excited.....I hope I can sleep tonight!


Have you ever played golf, as a woman? I'm excited to hear what you think about it!
