I received the  Oral-B® Professional™ Precision 5000 to try.  Currently I was using the old battery operated toothbrush which was fine but when you have to constantly buy new batteries it can be a pain.  Also you have to replace them after a while.  I really always wanted to buy a electric toothbrush I just never was sure which to buy.  There are so many choices on the market and I put things off a lot.   My teeth are clean but I never really felt they were as clean as they can be even with the use of floss,  I always felt like you can never get them clean enough.   I would occasionally get the cavity for the dentist even after brushing three times a day  and flossing.  






I started brushing with the Oral-B® Professional™ Precision 5000 and I love how you can either set it on your counter or you have the option to attach it to the wall.  I chose the first option I preferred it better.  Its nice that you don't have to buy batteries to charge the Oral_B.  You have to make sure its fully charged before you use the Oral-B.  Something I had to get a little used to .  Also caution (I don't personally have one) but if you have a pacemaker make sure you keep the toothbrush more than six inches away from your pacemaker.   I love the different modes you can use on the Oral-B.  First time I used it my mouth felt so clean and fresh I felt like it was a spa in my mouth.  That"s how great it made my teeth and mouth feel .  The Oral-B® Professional™ Precision 5000 was very easy to use and I really enjoy using it.  I have the confidence that I will get a glowing report the next time I visit my dentist for a teeth cleaning.  Those little  motorized brushes really get in between teeth and they don't leave one nook or cranny unclean.  I have never felt cleaner.  I love the different modes.  There is 

Daily Clean   -  Standard mode for daily mouth cleaning

Deep Clean  -   Mouth cleaning with extended brushing time of 45 seconds per quadrant 

Sensitive      -   Gentle, yet thorough cleaning for sensitive areas

Whitening    -    Polishing for occasion or everyday use 

Massage     -    Gentle message of gums.  


I really used a combo of all because sometimes I want a regular clean or times I want a little deeper.   My teeth can be sensitive at times and I really could use the whitening option . The Oral-B  is a really great product and I love using it and its easy to clean after each use. 




I really love the little case that comes with it .  Its great to pack when you are on a road trip or away from home.   I have never had a better clean than I do while using Oral-B Professional Precision 5000.  Oral-B is offering a $20 mail-in rebate on select power toothbrushes November 18  through December  31, 2012. Please visit 
Oralb.com for more information.

I think the Oral-B Precision 5000 is well worth it in the long run you will never have a cleaner mouth .  

I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour by Modern Mom on behalf of Oral-B and received a product sample to facilitate my review.

2 lipsticks in 1 BlastFlipstick! Flip your look from day to night, soft to bright, with BlastFlipstick's double-ended lipstick duos. With a creamy shade on one side and a shimmer shade on the other, it's two wearable, blendable, lipcolors in one!



  I received COVERGIRL blast flipsticks for free from BzzAgent .  I have to say they are fantastic. Its like 3 lipsticks in one.  You use one side for a nice gloss casual look...flip it to the other side for night time out with the girls or your favorite guy.  You can put them together and get a fabulous look for any time you want to look and feel fabulous.  
The COVERGIRL blastflipstick isn't like anything you've ever seen. It's a double-ended lipstick, which, let's be honest, is awesome by itself, but there's even more to it than that. The blastflipstick has two shades — one soft, for day wear, and the other dazzling, for night. Wear separately or combine to create a shade that's all your own. It's your personal color palette, giving you endless pucker-up possibilities.

Here is a cool video on how they work from covergirl

Here are the fabulous shade combinations to pick through at a value of 3 uses from 1 product.

GORTON'S SKILLET CRISP TILAPIA


  • The USDA recommends eating seafood twice a week — Gorton's makes it easy with Skillet Crisp Tilapia
  • Fish (like Gorton's Skillet Crisp Tilapia) is a natural source of Omega-3; these fatty acids are linked to improved heart and brain health
  • Lightly coated Skillet Crisp fillets are lower in fat, calories and sodium than traditionally battered fish
  • Gorton's Skillet Crisp Tilapia contains no MSG, artificial flavors or colors


#GOTITFREE  


I received Gorton's Skillet Crisp Tilapia from Bzz Agent.  I got a free coupon and a stack of $1 off coupons to give my friends.  I went to the store and used my free coupon and got the original flavor.  My husband is not a fan of boxed fish he likes fresh.  I hate fresh because when I fry it ...it tends to fall apart.  There is never a compromise on it in my house.  I read the directions they seemed easy enough...I kept thinking about the option to bake instead of fry.  But I said no I will try it.  There are nice sized pieces in the box in a shape that appears like regular fried fish you see in the stores.  I was suprised how quickly they fried up and they didn't break apart to my amazement.  I made that along with Homemade Macaroni and cheese.  My husband tried them and asked for seconds.  He asked what brand the fish is and I told him he was pleasantly suprised and I think we found our compromise.   It tastes great my whole family loves it and that is hard thing to do with 6 boys and one husband but we found a new fish thanks to Gorton's and Bzz Agent.

I have never been waterskiing so when a group of friends and I went to the lake I decided to join them it looked like fun  and I absolutely enjoyed it .  It was very exhilerating having the water splash your skin and feel the breeze hit you as you hit the water with your ski. It was fun I think we should all go out and try something new lifes too short to wait to do things.  Go have an adventure and try something you always wanted to do but made excuses not to .  —A member of @NescafeUSA Tasters”.

My friends dared me to try something new.  So I went on a new adventure and tried to conquer my fear of heights.  I thought I would really be scared.  It took me a while to work myself up to do it .  After I did it I am happy because it was very peaceful for me.  I call it peaceful serenity.

New Adventure

We decided a new adventure for the the family.  I haven't ridden a bike since I was a teen and the kids love to ride bikes .  So we decided to make an adventure and get our excercise in too.  I have crossed another adventure off my list by bicyling with the family on little discovery adventures.  We now ride everyday and try to find new places to explore in nature.  This will be our new summer/fall adventure.
