Colgate 360 Actiflex

I’ve never been one to buy the “fancy” toothbrush.  I mean how much better could one be from the other?  I usually just use the one I get from the dentist…nothing fancy…just a handle and some bristles.

The Colgate® 360°® ActiFlex toothbrush was sent to me to review.  I received two different types.  One vibrated and the other was just a “manual” brush.

After trying out both brushes, I have to say that I am impressed with how well these brushes clean my teeth!  They just feel exceptionally clean…

The bristles are not too hard, nor are they too soft.

The angle of the brush makes it easy to reach every part of my mouth…and the tongue scrubber is the cat’s pajamas!

Did you know that when you are sick and brush your teeth that it is possible for the germs to live on your toothbrush?  And then after you are feeling better it is possible to get sick again…from brushing your teeth?

Quoted from the Reader’s Digest:

You think your toothbrush gets your teeth clean–and it does. But once you’ve finished brushing, it can be a breeding ground for germs. Most dentists recommend you change your toothbrush every two to three months. It’s also a good idea to replace it after you’ve had a cold or flu to prevent reinfection.

So, the next time you change your toothbrush, why not try something a little different?  Try the Colgate® 360°® ActiFlex…I was pleasantly surprised with it’s performance…

and here are a few more facts:

Slippery When Wet!

February 12th, 2010

ShavingSystem-aI shave.  I shave a lot.  It takes me a while to do a good job and not miss any spots.  Especially on my big ole’ noggin!  :D

One problem with not being able to see what you are shaving(the back of my head) is that I have to go over it a few dozen times to get everything.

This leads to skin irritation.

I remember the first time I shaved my head.  If I had a dollar for every infected/ingrown hair I wouldn’t have to work again for the rest of my life.  I was miserable!

I tried every shaving cream, after shave, and shaving lotion until I found something that worked.

Then a few months later I was asked to review the Skin Therapy Shaving System by Shaver’s Choice.

The Slick shave gel squeezed out of it’s tube and was completely clear.  There was no PFFFTTT as it puffed up in my hand like I was used to.  I rubbed it on my head and face and instantly noticed how slippery my skin was.

I guess that is the beauty behind this stuff.  It lubricates your skin to keep the razor from nicking and cutting.

I gotta say that it worked well, on my head…but I did not like to use it on my face. Why?

I have always had a problem with getting razor bumps on my neck.  It does not matter if I go with or against the grain, use plain water or some super shaving cream…it still gets irritated from time to time.

I think this stuff was a bit too slick and caused me to push a bit harder on the razor to get the wild hairs growing out of my neck.  :D   But then again, I still have not found a shaving cream or gel that works 100% of the time on my neck area.

The samples provided also included the Smooth Skin Therapy for use after shaving with the Slick shave gel.

I used the Smooth product twice and didn’t try it again.  It was just too oily.  It left my skin shiny and the smell wasn’t the greatest either.

So, in conclusion…I really like the Slick shave gel for shaving my entire head minus my neck…which has always been a trouble area.  It  left my skin feeling nice and smooth even after a rigorous shave.  The after shave lotion, Smooth?  Not for me.

You can read more about the Skin Therapy Shaving System by Shaver’s Choice on their website.

Mom Spit

November 5th, 2007

When I was little there is one thing that sticks out in my mind that really grossed me out…when my Grandma would lick her thumb and wipe something off of my face. Ugghh! Spit!

Side-Note: The thing that absolutely grossed me out the most was when my friend’s Grandma stuck her tongue in my ear at dinner. Don’t ask me why…I still don’t know and don’t want to. Gives me the chills just thinking about it…

MomSpitAnyways, I would never wipe some dirt off of Ace’s face with my spitty finger! That’s what Baby Wipes are for! I caught Momma using her mom spit and expressed my disgust to her. She doesn’t do it anymore…at least not in front of me. :) In my opinion, this has got to be one of the nastiest practices that parents do!

I was browsing the web and found this unusual product called Mom Spit! It is not actual mom spit, but is a no-rinse cleanser. A perfect substitute for actual mom spit. So please, please, please…spare my the gagging and dry heaving…use something like this instead of actual saliva!
