TropiClean Fresh Breath Review & Giveaway

by nicolesnickels on August 31, 2010

Name of Product: TropiClean Fresh Breath products for dogs

Price of Product: $5.99-$14.99

Where can the product be purchased: PetCo and other fine pet retailers. TropiClean’s products are available in thousands of retail outlets throughout the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, the United Kingdom, Japan, Israel and the Netherlands. For more information, please visit www.tropiclean.net.

Description of Product: “- Apply a dab of CLEAN TEETH GEL directly to the pet’s teeth to remove built-up plaque and tartar within 30 days, without brushing. It features a “touch-free” applicator tip so no finger or toothbrush is required. Add a teaspoon of WATER ADDITIVE to the pet’s water bowl to maintain optimal oral health while eliminating bad breath for up to 12 hours. Between meals, the chewy texture of fresh breath made easy! DENTAL TREATS help clean teeth down to the gums. When company’s coming, a quick spritz of fresh breath made easy! FRESH MINT FOAM instantly kills the germs that cause bad pet breath.

Review of Product: I love my dogs, Chester and Cleo, so much but their breath? That I don’t love so much.  Brushing their teeth is difficult so I was so happy to review the TropiClean line for fresh breath! The water additive is obviously the easiest but I didn’t feel like it took care of their breath as well as the gel and the foam.  The water additive did make the breath better but it wasn’t gone! The gel and foam are both easy to use with the foam being the easiest since there is no rubbing in, just spraying.  My dogs breath was instantly better – yippee and bring on the kisses!

Giveaway: The folks at TropiClean have graciously decided to give one (1) lucky Nicole’s Nickels reader their own set of TropiClean Fresh Breath products including 1 fresh breath made easy line sample including: 1 Clean Teeth Gel, 1 Water Additive, 1 bag of Dental Treats, 1 Fresh Mint Foam.

Review of Product: I tried several varieties of Good Earth Tea, the decaf chai, the citrus green ginseng and the lemongrass green.  I liked the lemongrass green the best, it was an exotic taste and I really loved the smell of it.  I shared these teas with some friends who all commented on how good they smelled and tasted.  The flavors were rich and I didn’t have to add a ton of milk, sugar and honey to give these teas flavor.  I have been reading more and more of the health benefits of a cup of tea and am excited to add these Good Earth varieties to my repertoire

Review of Product: There are so many everyday products that I use that participate in the Box Tops for Education.  While I don’t have children I do save my box tops for my colleague’s kid’s schools.  It’s so easy to save them and it’s such a good cause!

Even if you don’t have children of your own you surely know children whose schools will benefit from your box tops – so check your pantries to see what you can contribute! Walmart is my go-to store for the lowest prices and most variety available.

$25 DressBarn Giftcard Review & Giveaway

by nicolesnickels on August 25, 2010

Name of Product: DressBarn $25 Giftcard

Price of Product: $25.00

Where can the product be purchased: at DressBarn locations nationwide (store locator)

Description of Product: “August is the heart of summer vacation season and a recent survey (http://bit.ly/aVApSp) found that Americans are the worst-dressed tourists. We believe that just because you’re on vacation doesn’t mean your style should take a dive. Rule 1: Leggings are NOT pants. Rule 2: Never pair sneakers with a summer dress. Rule 3: Leave your fanny pack with your hiking gear. Rule 4: Don’t let summer breezes blow your style away. Rule 5: Leave your favorite pair of “holey” jeans at home.”

Review of Product: I loved the DressBarn rules for better travel dressing and the one I see violated the most lately is Rule 1 about leggings.  Leggings are making a strong comeback but many people don’t understand that they need to be paired with a tunic or longer top – otherwise you’ll look like a sausage! I had a fun time in DressBarn shopping with my giftcard and even picked up a great pair of leggings with lace trim at the bottom on sale! I’ll pair them with a tunic top or longer shirt and cute flats and be stylin!

Giveaway: The folks over at DressBarn have graciously decided to give one (1) lucky Nicole’s Nickels reader their own $25 giftcard to DressBarn!

They used it all right up – putting it ahead of some of the other kinds of coffee in the office kitchen.  The smell when it was being brewed was strong yet comforting and they each savored every last drop of it.  I have been asked several times if I can score them some more Eight O’Clock Coffee!
