Boogerhead's Comments

Ok. So Boogerhead has been helping with reviews and stuff. She is my product model as well. So , I am pitching companies last night and she decides she should get to pick some. Yeah.....she made me pitch Stompeez and those Cuddleuppets. She wanted me to pitch American Girl Dolls, but I refused. The kid is getting good. She has also decided that any kid products we get in, she gets to do the review and I must type it up for her. I told her she had to start pitching on her own. She tells me"Just send them my picture and tell them the cute girl in the picture will be doing the review Mommy". If only it were that easy.
We do have some reviews coming up with Boogerhead as product model and one or two that will be mainly her words. So check back to see how well Boogerhead's new career goes! Don't forget to enter all the giveaways!!

Green Virgin Soapnuts Review and Giveaway!

Ok, this review will be slightly different than previous reviews, as I have a comparison product ( I purchased myself). I will not give the name of the other brand. I will only say they are a well known company. We will call them Bob's.

So ,I washed clothes this weekend using Bob's and Green Virgin soapnuts. First, we will discuss Bob's.

They are light in color. Relatively mild smell. Came with a wash bag. Bob's soapnuts.
I washed 3 loads with Bob's. My clothes smelled ok, they had alot of static, and were not soft like they claimed. I was disappointed.

Next, I washed with Green Virgin.

Notice they are darker in color. They smelled horrible!! Which is apparently a good thing according to my research. They are supposed to smell bad! These also came with a wash bag.

I again did 3 loads. These smelled fresh. Not like regular detergent smelling, just fresh. No static cling and they were soft.

Now, some info. You will use about 5 soapnuts in the wash bag. I have hard water and this is what I used. I also soaked my bag in a little hot water beforehand, as I wash in cold. I did not use anything else. After 3 loads, I think I can get 1 or 2 more loads with the same bag. The soapnuts get all yucky when their usefulness wears off.
A great thing about Green Virgin, is their soapnuts come with a tag explaining the other uses for soapnuts. There is also alot of great recipes online. Green Virgin use Sapindus Mukorossi soapnuts. These are the highest quality. Their prices are very reasonable.

And just for you men, a side note from my husband. I washed his hunting clothes with Green Virgin soapnuts and he was pleasantly surprised. NO SMELL!!! They are clean without having that detergent smell. Perfect for you hunters on a budget. A half pound bag of soapnuts, which will do about 83 loads, costs less than most advertised hunter's detergents. Deer beware!!

And thanks to the generosity of Green Virgin you can win your own 250gram bag (about half a pound).

Newmans Own Organics Review and Giveaway

As we all know I do reviews my way. To the point. I recently was given the opportunity to do a review for Newman's Own Organics. No they are not Newman's Own. They are a separate company started by Nell Newman. Originally, it was a division of Newman's Own but in 2001 became its own company with a totally separate line of products.

As you can see, we were sent a variety of products to try. My husband,Boogerhead, and I really enjoyed these products.

My husband's favorite was the peanut butter cups. They came in both milk chocolate and dark chocolate. I personally LOVED the dark chocolate peppermint cups!! Delicious!

Chocolate bars!! Dark and milk chocolate...even espresso.....

Pretzels...sticks, regular, and honey wheat(my husband's favorite...he ate half the bag!)

Mints!! Peppermint, wintergreen, hot cinnamon, and ginger. I liked them all but the ginger. I am just not into ginger. But, let me say the quality was awesome. They are strong. but not overly so. Reminded me of Altoids, but better. Such a natural flavor and not sugary like some mints.

Licorice! Sour cherry,sour apple (Boogerhead's fav), black, and pomegranate (my fav)

Boogerhead eating the last of the sour apple. Let me say a few things about the licorice. First, the flavors they offer are impressive. Second, the taste is amazing. I really liked that the flavor wasn't overwhelming. It is just a hint. Last, but not least, the texture. It wasn't slick and squishy like store licorice. I found it firm and dry. I could eat it without having stuff on my hands.

This was by far my favorite. I love popcorn! This is microwaveable popcorn, but it is the best I have ever eaten. It pops all the way leaving very few unpopped kernels. The bag was full and puffy. When I opened it, I was in heaven. It has a light, buttery scent. The popcorn was so light. It was honestly the most wonderful popcorn I have ever had the pleasure of eating. I will definitely be purchasing snacks from Newman's Own Organics for my family. We really enjoyed the wide range of products we were able to try. I would recommend their products to anyone. How can you beat delicious and organic!! Disclaimer: I was provided the products to review. However, all opinions are my own and I was not paid to provide a good review or any review.

Well, HEADS UP!! I will have two more reviews and two more giveaways coming up this week. If you people want more great products reviewed than you need to leave comments and feedback. Enter the giveaways and like us on Facebook, and follow us on Twitter. Now, on to Boogerhead. By the way...she likes her nickname just fine...at least,she says,till she is a teenager. So, Boogerhead had to go to the meanie doctor and get a 5 year check up and a shot. She was not a happy kiddo. She wants the readers to know that she SCREAMED!!! She says it hurt and everyone should leave her some pity comments to make her feel better. And she will check too!!! Hopefully, I will sneak some pics of her at ballet tomorrow. Isn't she just the cutest little product tester? Yes, she actually helps with all product testing and reviews. Her opinion matters, at least to me.
