Arm and Hammer Giveaway and Arm & Hammer Spinbrush Review

Arm and Hammer Logo

For the past week or so I've been using a new toothbrush and toothpaste! My teeth already feel cleaner and look whiter! The Arm and Hammer Spinbrush battery-powered toothbrushes introduce sonic technology at an affordable price with their new SpinBrush® Pro Clean Sonic and SpinBrush® Pro Whitening Sonic toothbrushes. These are one of the first toothbrushes on the market to offer advanced sonic clean without the price tag to go along with it.

Arm and Hammer Spinbrush

Defined by the high rate of speed at which their brush head vibrates, the new SpinBrush® Sonic delivers up to 16,000 brush strokes per minute. They offer dynamic fluid action to help dislodge food and remove plaque between the teeth and in areas where a manual brush may not reach, providing a clinically proven way to effectively remove plaque.
SpinBrush® Pro Clean Sonic is clinically proven to remove up to 95% of plaque in hard-to-reach places. It also offers a multi-functional head design for superior cleaning that includes angled, multi-level, high density bristles, as well as a profiled slim head.

This toothbrush cleans my teeth way better than my original manual toothbrush! I can actually feel the bristles doing a better job! I also love that it's blue!

I have also been using Arm and Hammer Advance White Toothpaste! It contains key ingredients peroxide and baking soda to whiten 3 Ways!
* Gently cleans away surface stains
* Penetrates tiny crevices to clean away deep stain
* Safely polishes with micro-polishers for whiter & brighter teeth

Advance White Brilliant Sparkle is clinically proven to remove up to 5X more plaque in hard to reach places. I could tell a difference in my teeth in days! I don't feel bad when I reach for a cup of coffee in the morning or have a glass of soda at night. The clean feeling lasts all day! I had been using a different brand of whitening toothpaste, but I am switching to this one now!

ARM & HAMMER Advance White retails for about $3.59 for one 4.3 oz. tube.
6 oz. retails for about $4.49. It can be found at mass food and drug chains nationwide including Target, Wal-Mart, Kmart, Safeway, Albertson’s, Kroger, Publix, CVS, Eckerd, Walgreen’s, Rite Aid, etc.

Mayfair Lane Review

Mayfair Lane Logo

I received a couple of Mayfair Lane products to review. Launched in the spring of 2008, Mayfair Lane has the gift market buzzing with its innovative products and fresh designs. Its patent-pending Happeez® product line is made up of simple, classic gifts that take gift-giving to a whole new level by virtue of their being both uniquely stylish as well as extremely practical.

Sue Russell, Mayfair Lane’s Founder and CEO, combined her finely tuned marketing skills with her constant search for the perfect gift. After working with 3M Post-it® products and elegant stationery lines from Boatman Geller, she made an important discovery. All notepads and decorative items for the refrigerator, even the most beautiful ones, were backed with magnetic strips. These strips worked for many households but not for those with a stainless steel, glass or wood paneled refrigerators, to which magnets do not stick. And so, Happeez® were born.

Happeez® Notepads, Clippers, Photo Frames, Whiteboards, and List Pads contain a Happeez® material that grips to stainless steel and other slick surfaces such as glass, mirror, aluminum, plastic or vinyl. Unlike a magnet, Happeez® products protect surfaces from scratching and marring, and will not leave a residue. If the product loses its grip due to dust build-up, users can easily revive it by spraying the back with water or a vinegar-based window cleaner.

Mayfair Lane Notepad and Clip

I was sent the notepad and clip pictured above from the Happeez collection in Twilight Stripe! Aren't they cute?! I love to make lists and I know this will come in handy at college! I can attach the stuff to my mini-refrigerator! I can also clip a picture up! Yay! I also think the "to review" clip pictured above would be helpful for bloggers! Of course, I'm in love with the "sweets - cupcakes" stuff!

Cupcake Notepad

Check out Mayfair Lane the next time you need a clip, notepad or even photo frame for your refrigerator!

Little Laura's Sweets Review

Little Laura's Sweets Header

I was sent several treats from Little Laura's Sweets to try! Just looking at the website makes me drool! Seeing the goodies in person, I couldn't restrain myself! Little Laura’s Sweets is a modern artisan baking company, based in Hermosa Beach California. In using only the finest natural, organic and seasonal ingredients available, Little Laura’s Sweets is able to provide its customers with delicious, whimsical and unique treats that will remind them of days gone by, yet have a modern flair. They even use all eco friendly, recycled and bio degradable packaging! They also buy carbon offsets to cover the shipping of the goodies!

My favorite thing that I was sent was the Wawa Cookies! Described as "cakey chocolate cookies topped with roasted marshmallow and chocolate" reminded me of a baking experience with my boyfriend, except that these are good! I tried one and then forced my boyfriend to try them because I made the mistake of telling him they were like these brownie things we tried to make this summer! I'm not sure what we did wrong, but these delicious cookies seem like the thing we attempted to make, only Laura has succeeded! After trying a cookie, my boyfriend said, "I'm glad you twisted my arm to get my try one of those!" These cookies were the first thing I finished! Just look at the yummy gooey-ness!


Wawa Cookies

My 2nd favorite thing that I was sent was the Peanut Butter Cups! These cute pb cups are individually wrapped! It's a nice bottom layer of peanut butter and a great chocolate topping! My favorite candy is Reese's, but let me say that these are even better! I didn't share these with anyone! :)

Peanut Butter Cups


I was also sent 2 different kinds of Shortbread cookies! I received Lavender Shortbread – crisp and buttery with a punch of fresh lavender and Margarita Shortbread! I liked the Margarita Shortbread the most! I can't really describe it, but I can say that it's gone! It's not your average shortbread cookie!

Little Laura's Sweets is worth checking out! Little Laura's Sweets was also recently chosen as "snack of the day" on the Rachael Ray show!

Endorsed by doctors, celebrities, and most importantly our customers, philosophy wants to inspire you to live a better life by being better to yourself. We offer you a lifestyle makeover that celebrates the idea that there is only one of you in this world and that you must honor your existence.

I got to try the new Philosophy Superglossy Lipgloss SPF 15!

Energizes lips with minty freshness as it pours on supernatural color, nourishers, botanical oils, antioxidants plus spf 15.

· follow your dreams- sheer apricot

· share the love- sheer, delicate pink

· bare your soul- soft, natural nude-pink

One of the shades I tried was Follow Your Dreams! It's my favorite of the two! It's got a nice, subtle hint of color that is great for fair-skinned people like myself! This is definitely my new favorite lipgloss! The Share The Love shade is new for September! It's priced at $16.50 and available at Philosophy Supernatural Makeup!

I was lucky enough to get to try the new Philosophy Advanced Makeup Optional Skincare System!

The advanced makeup optional skincare system incorporates retinol, spf and exfoliation to provide a "step up" from the basic makeup optional skin kit. This daily a.m. and p.m. skincare regimen is designed to treat multiple skin concerns associated with aging, protect and prevent against future damage and help restore a healthy, youthful, glowing complexion. In an independent clinical study, 92% of participants saw significant improvement in overall smoothness, softness, radiance and refinement of the skin after just 8 weeks.

This wonderful kit comes with:

Purity Made Simple 8 oz. - PM One-Step Facial Cleanser
Microdelivery exfoliating wash 8 oz. - AM Exfoliating Wash
When hope is not enough firming and lifting serum 1 oz. - AM & PM Firming and Lifting Serum
Hope in a Jar spf 20 2 oz. - AM High Performance Moisturizer
Help me retinol treatment .75 oz. - PM Nighttime Retinol Treatment

Philosophy Advanced Makeup Optional Skincare System

After just over a week of use, my skin is softer and smoother! My boyfriend even noticed the difference (Thanks Philosophy!)! I actually noticed the difference while sitting in class one day and I just had to start rubbing my cheeks because I couldn't believe how soft they felt! I'm not joking! This stuff is a miracle! I really like the Purity Made Simple... it gives me some "me time" at night before going to bed. It gives me clean, but not tight skin! I also love the When Hope is Not Enough and Help Me treatment! I have been using these products around my eyes and it has actually helped with the bags and dark circles under my eyes... NOTHING has ever helped this before! I don't sleep much (as you can probably tell from the timing of posts) and have had dark circles and bags since I was 14 or 15! This is not a kit just for people worried about aging (although it does help) but for anyone that doesn't get enough sleep or stresses! If you aren't already a Philosophy fan, this will turn you into one!

This kit is priced at just $98, a savings of $68!
It's available on Philosophy!

The Last Song Review

The Last Song Book

THE LAST SONG by Nicholas Sparks

I'm a really big fan of Nicholas Sparks and when I was given a chance to read his newest book, The Last Song I was really excited!

The #1 bestselling author Nicholas Sparks's new novel is at once a compelling family drama and a heartrending tale of young love. I've read many of Nicholas Sparks books and thought I knew what to expect and wouldn't cry while reading this one. However, I was wrong.

The main character Ronnie is easy for me to relate to because we are close in age (she's 18 and I'm 19). This story takes place the summer after she finished high school and portrays her first love and the relationship between parents and children. It is a beautiful story. I'm a daddy's girl and instantly felt for Ronnie when dealing with her dad. I also appreciated Ronnie's little brother's presence in the novel (I love kids).

To say that I cried while reading this book would be a lie... I balled my eyes out! I actually read most of this at college and hoped that nobody could hear me crying because they might think something was wrong. But, it was just me enjoying another Nicholas Sparks book.

If you are a fan of Nicholas Sparks, this is a definite must-read! It doesn't disappoint! Or, if you just enjoy stories about first love and relationships, then this is a great book!

The Last Song can be bought on Amazon and Barnes & Noble!

Kupcake Konz Review and Giveaway

Kupcake Konz Logo

Recently, I got to try Kupcake Konz! What are ice cream cone cupcakes? They are cupcakes, made with regular cake batter, baked right inside a standard wafer ice cream cone.

Ice cream cone cupcakes have been around for many years, but they can be a bit messy to bake when balancing the cones on cookie sheets or in muffin tins.

Chocolate Kupcake Konz

Now, no more spills, no more mess! Our Kupcake Konz™ pans allow you to bake, cool, decorate, store and even transport all in one! Kupcake Konz™ pans are designed to hold mini (kid size) ice cream cones -- which are perfect for little hands-- or the large (standard) size ice cream cones. The large pans also hold 3oz cups, which are great for dirt cups or even Jell-O shots for the adults!

Kupcake Konz™ pans go directly on your oven rack and are dishwasher safe!

I tried out my Kupcake Konz pans with my boyfriend and they were great! Here are some pictures:

Plate of Kupcake Konz

They were so easy! There was no mess either! We used chocolate cake and it was really yummy! I loved them and can't wait to bake more!

Pearl Izumi Running Shoes Review

Pearl Izumi Logo

Recently, I was sent some Pearl Izumi Running Shoes to review! I choose the SYNCROGUIDE 2 to review! Some of its wonderful features include:

-High Rebound SKYDEX® forefoot propulsion pad
-High rebound forefoot foam for maximum energy return
-SKYDEX® Heel crash pad
-New Syncro Stability Frame - Stability Tuned Suspension System
-Deep Rearfoot channel slows overpronation
-High performance dual density EVA insole
-PI Carbon Rubber Outsole for durability

Plus, don't they look cute?!

Pearl Izumi Shoes

I decided to give these a try for the first week back at college because I'm no longer leaving as close to the classrooms as I was last year. I was a bit worried that the bottom of feet would hurt, because they always do! However, they did not! The shoes really do provide extra support and cushion for my feet! It was great! I'm very happy with these shoes!

Next time you're looking for a new pair of running shoes, I'd definitely recommend Pearl Izumi!

Blush Undershirt Review and Giveaway

Blush Undershirt Logo


Blush Topless Undershirts are a great idea! If you love the look of layering without adding the extra bulk and straps, this is a product for you. Unlike a tank top or long shirt, it does not have straps which cause your undershirt to constantly ride up. It stays put without having to always readjust. Without straps, you are not limited to where the length of your shirt falls. You can adjust to any length, whether you want it to go just over the top of your pants or all the way down to your thigh. For all your favorite shirts that have shrunk in the dryer….don't throw them away! Just add a {topless undershirt} and you still have the length of the shirt you bought it as.

Blush Undershirt

I was lucky enough to receive a Blush Topless Undershirt to review! I love mine! I think it's great that I can move the undershirt and my top shirt stays the same! This is great for back to school wardrobes! I also appreciate the softness of the undershirt.

Also, Blush is allowing Laughing Lindsay readers to use the code welovebloggers for 20% off 2 or more undershirts!

WIN! THIS GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED!

Revlon Runway Collection Nails

Recently, I was offered the chance to review the Revlon Runway Collection nails. Knowing that Revlon is a great brand and liking the look of the nails, I decided to give it a go. The nails are even prettier in person! I used Starlet, pictured below. The glue is super sticky! I can tell these nails will last a while! They are also look great! I had actually never applied fake nails, but the nails still look good! I really like all of the variety with the nails. I also appreciate the moderate price! Next time you decide to get your nails done, definitely consider these! Thanks Revlon!

Guiltless Gourmet makes delicious products like chips, dips, and dessert bowls that you don't feel bad about eating! I was recently offered a bag of their Baked Tortilla Chips.

For 18 big chips, they are only 120 calories and 3 grams of fat or less per serving and 0 Trans fat. Flavors include Blue Corn, Chili Lime, Yellow Corn Salted and Unsalted, Spicy Black Bean, Mucho Nacho, Chipotle and Chile Verde.

Chile Verde Tortilla Chips

I was lucky enough to be sent the Chile Verde! These chips are awesome! I love them! They have a bold taste and are really crispy! appreciate that it's a tortilla chip and already has flavoring on it, no salsa needed! I enjoyed these so much that I even brought the remaining bag to college with me! My boyfriend also likes them, we sat on the couch my last Saturday before starting back at college and ate some.

The chips can be found at retailers nationwide such as Shoprite, Wegmans, Kroger, Safeway, Publix, Whole Foods, Giant Eagle, Raley's, and Albertsons in the snack section. They have a suggested retail price of $2.79.

Eufora recently sent me some great hair products to try! Eufora's advanced technology utilizes important botanical extracts that have been scientifically proven to benefit the hair, scalp and skin. Most products use water as a base but Eufora has raised the performance standard by using certified organic Aloe Vera gel as our product base. Known as the miracle plant, aloe is rich in over 200 biologically active substances, including 75 nutrients, 20 minerals and 12 vitamins. Aloe contains elements that are essential to cellular healing, renewal and growth. Aloe also delivers amazing antibacterial, anti-viral and antiseptic properties. It is a naturally effective solution to help alleviate the symptoms caused by skin and scalp conditions such as acne, dandruff and seborrhea. Eufora is the only salon professional product line to provide certified organic Aloe Vera in the optimum quality and concentration required to deliver its true power.

Urgent Repair Shampoo

I was sent a bottle of Urgent Repair Shampoo. This gentle, non-drying formula thoroughly removes dulling and damaging build up caused by products, metals, chemicals, minerals and environmental pollutants while improving the health of the hair and scalp. I was really excited to try this because a new conditioner I had just started using seemed to be leaving behind a bunch of build-up/product and left my hair looking wet/oily. However, just one shampooing with this stuff and my hair was better than before the conditioner! It got rid of the stuff left behind from the other product, but didn't mess up my hair! This is great for everyone, especially swimmers, people who use lots of styling products and those who live in hard water or well water regions!

I was also able to try the Urgent Repair Replenishing Treatment! This treatment is a protein rich restructuring and conditioning treatment that strengthens and restores vibrancy to dry, damaged and color treated hair. I like that this product can be used as a treatment by leaving it on for up to 15 minutes and wrapping head in plastic and applying external heat and that is also good for daily use! I also appreciate the skin soothing effect it has! It really does relieve an irritated/dry scalp! This treatment helps my hair and my scalp, a great combination!

Eufora also sent me the Hydration Leave-In Conditioner! This is a weightless, protein-rich, daily leave-in conditioner! It protects hair from styling heat damage and sun damage. It moisturizes and detangles hair! I love the benefits of this and it smells pretty good too!

I've also been using the Illuminate Shine Mist! This mist is an advanced, multi-use, shine enhancement product that provides wear-in treatment benefits. This mist gives my hair moisture and helps seal the cuticle! It even contains Vitamin E and Vitamin B5! This mist can be used to add shine to a finished style, for extra detangling on towel dried hair, and for added softness! This is a great multi-use hair product!


Eufora can be bought at authorized professional salons!

Seventh Generation Review and Giveaway

Seventh Generation logo

Seventh Generation makes safe, gentle, non-toxic green cleaning products. I received a Living Home Starter Kit, everything you need to get your household on a healthy footing with Seventh Generation. It contains everything you'll need to keep your home "clean and green." It contains: Glass Cleaner - Grapefruit, All-Purpose Cleaner - Green Mandarin, Toilet Bowl Cleaner - Emerald, Shower Cleaner - Green Mandarin, Tub & Tile Cleaner, Kitchen Cleaner,(2) Natural Paper Towels - 120 Count, and Reusable Tote

Seventh Generation Kit

Having an almost blind father, a mom that works full-time and helps care for my grandmother, and me being at college most of the time, makes our house really dirty most of the time. I was excited to use the Shower & Tub and Tile Cleaners on bathtub/shower. I'm happy to report that it did a really good job! I was also pleased with the cleaners' scent, it wasn't over-bearing or chemical-like! I'm somewhat embarrassed to show the before picture of our shower, but I believe it better demonstrates the effectiveness of the cleaner (the pink stuff is my shampoo and conditioner ;))! Here's before:

Dirty tub

And after!

Seventh Generation Clean Tub

My mom is the one that gets stuck cleaning our nasty toilet and she used the Seventh Generation Toilet Bowl Cleaner! She said that she liked it because the cleaner didn't seem to goop together like some cleaners do, that it spreads evenly and does a better job cleaning because of this. I decided to spare you and myself from pictures of our toilet!

Chocolate.com Chocolate Seeds Review

Chocolate.com Logo

Chocolate.com features handmade, artisan, and gourmet chocolate gifts from world-class chocolate vendors. "We bring together the chocolate chef and the gift buyer to form a unique marketplace. We believe that the world's finest chocolate is found in small shops scattered across the globe - each having a distinct approach and unique offering of ingredients. In many cases, our vendors provide a product that is more fresh, more artistic, and less common than factory-made chocolate." It's great having all of those vendors in one place! It allows the buyer to find products and companies they never knew existed, like The Nahualli Trading Company. It is based in Raleigh, NC and has been a Chocolate.com vendor since April 17, 2009. Chocolate.com offers 2 products from The Nahualli Trading Co..


Organic Chocolate Seeds

I was sent the Nahualli Trading Co.'s 100 Percent Organic Chocolate Seeds to try! The 100% Organic Chocolate Seeds are cocoa beans covered in dark chocolate. Cocoa beans come from the seed pod of the chocolate tree. "Taste the origin of chocolate."

Chocolate Seeds


I wasn't sure what to expect with these because I had never had cocoa beans. However, these were great! I'd definitely recommend these for any chocolate lover! I really enjoyed the dark chocolate on the outside as well! It was nice to bite into and find the cocoa bean on the inside! Really rich and delicious! They are soo yummy!

MolliCoolz Logo

MolliCoolz Shakers offer an easy way to satisfy your craving for a deliciously, thick and creamy milkshake at home. No need for a blender, or even an ice cream scoop. Just check out your grocer's freezer. MolliCoolz Shakers come in single serving containers filled with free flowing ice cream beads. All you have to do is add milk, replace the container's cover and shake. Shakers are available in a variety of mouth-watering flavors including Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry and Cookies n' Cream. Or customize your Shaker by using different beverages to enhance the milkshake experience.



I was sent several MolliCoolz Shakers to try! I loved the chocolate! It was so yummy! It tasted just like a chocolate milkshake! It was so easy to make! It did take longer than 30 seconds for me to shake mine up well though. Also, make sure you put the lid on tightly... if you don't it can get messy, trust me! I really enjoyed the Shakers! My boyfriend liked the strawberry! He is excited to create a delicious orange dream sometime! Cookies & Creme is also really good! I can't wait to add in coffee or brownie chunks! YUMMY!

MolliCoolz Chocolate Milk Shaker

I would definitely recommend trying MolliCoolz Shakers! Oh, the vanilla is good too!

Solavie Desert Review

Solavie Logo

Solavie is the first eco-gloabl skin/hair care system! They are formulated to compliment your skin/hair depending on where you live! There are 6 different enviro types: Mountains, Urban, Tropics, Shore, Plains, and Desert!


Solavie Map

I was sent the Solavie Desert shampoo/body wash and conditioner/styler to try! Arid dryness, blistering sun, heat and sandy wind gusts found in desert environments expose the skin and hair to extreme dehydration, irritation and stress.

Solavie Solution:
Each of the five Desert skin/hair care products contains these key ingredients: Rose Oil, Sage Oil, Rosemary Oil, Yucca Extract, Sodium PCA, Sodium Hyaluronate, Green Tea Extract, Aloe, Bisabolol, Oat Extract, Shea Butter, Echinacea, Gotu Kola and anti-oxidant rich Vitamins A,C,E. Desert products contain anti-irritants, free-radical fighters and moisture sealants extracted from desert ecosystems to combat extremely dry conditions. Mineral-rich volcanic spring water from Sun Valley, Idaho boosts the effectiveness and delivers nutrients deep into skin/hair cells.

Scent: Spicy, natural aroma of desert plants and flowers reminiscent of hot desert nights.

The Solavie Desert left my hair smelling pleasant and feeling wonderful! I also appreciate how the two containers are small, cute and portable! The containers actually lock together for easy travel. They are perfect for vacations or taking to college! The size also means they won't take up much room! I also think it's wonderful that both products have multiple uses!
