I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Cascade. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating.

 

CascadeThe worst part about eating a nice, big dinner with all the trimmings is definitely washing the dirty dishes after you're through!  Even though I have a dishwasher, my dishes never really seem to get truly clean.  I always manage to find tiny particles of "gook" stuck here and there, which makes me think that my dishwasher isn't doing its job.

I never really thought about whether my dishwashing detergent was doing its job or not.  So, with this in mind, I was very excited to try the brand new Cascade Platinum Pacs on my dirtiest of dishes.  Read on to find out more about the amazing pac that cleans more than just your dishes.

But wait, there`s more! »

LifeLockMore children will visit the emergency room this time of year due to near-drownings than any other type of injury.  All of the fun kids have at lakes, parks and pools also brings unfortunate injuries. It’s a time for parents to raise their awareness of the everyday outdoor dangers that can cause tragedies and start practicing a little injury prevention.

What are the biggest dangers in summer and fall? The most common child injuries result from unsafe playgrounds, bicycle accidents, burns from campfires and fireworks, motor vehicles, and water hazards at pools, beaches and lakes.  Almost every kid will be at a park or campground, on a bike trail, or playing in water this season.

It wouldn't be practical to try to keep your kids safe by restricting them from playing at parks and pools, but you can follow these tips for injury prevention to ensure their personal safety.

In2ition by Delta FaucetI love home renovation projects!  There's something so rewarding about improving your home using your own two little hands.  I love the thought of the money I save with do-it-yourself projects and of course, I always enjoy the finished project.

When thinking of changing our bathroom's shower head, several manufacturers came to mind, including Delta Faucet Company.  Delta is one of the world's largest manufacturers of quality faucets and makes many of their products right here in the USA.  :usa:

Of course, another huge factor we consider in any home renovation project is the ease of installation.  Here's where I was beyond pleased.  The Delta In2ition shower head was hands down the easiest and quickest head we've ever installed.  Keep reading to learn more!

I reviewed the In2ition Two-In-One Shower Arm Mounted Shower in the Venetian Bronze finish from Delta Faucet Company, which retails for $410.00.

Philips NorelcoMy husband is the poster child for manscaping.  If you're not familiar with the term, here's its official definition:

"Manscaping is the modern term for the removal of body hair by shaving."

Michael shaves his face, arms, legs, chest, back, etc. and hates it if his hair gets to an unruly length.  Unfortunately, my husband doesn't have any real tools for this job, save a standard razor, and so he often has a hard time getting the length of hair he'd like to have on each different region of his body.  Because he lacks the proper grooming tools, he tends to look either hairless or hairy...with neither option being what he really wants to achieve.

If you have a special dad in your life that also loves to manscape, then be sure to check out the all-in-one tool from Philips Norelco that's designed to perfect his hair grooming routine: the Multigroom Pro QG3380.
