Tide PODS Free & Gentle Laundry Detergent

Today I have another bzz agent review: Tide PODS Free & Gentle laundry detergent! This box came right on time, seeing I was low on cash and out of laundry detergent. My husband and I prefer detergents with pleasant smells so I wasn't sure how we would like this unscented, no perfume detergent.

The pods came in individual packages with simple instructions printed on them. Use one pod for small loads and two for large loads. Of course there were the safety instructions, such as do not puncture the pod, eat it or give to small children. You also do not want to handle the pods with wet hands or the dissolving cover will release its cleaning goodness and all will be wasted.

For my first test load, I chose to wash a wet, week-old pile of smelly towels. If the pods worked on these then I would be satisfied. I placed a full load of towels in the wash with two of the pods. Easy! The towels were actually clean and fresh smelling, not perfumy, at the end of the cycle. Yep, I'm impressed. Of course, I threw them in the dryer with a scented fabric sheet (I know, I know ... but I like what I like).

I would recommend the use of the Tide PODS Free and Gentle for those who are interested in detergents that are dye free, perfume free, hypoallergenic and dermatologist tested. They cleaned my clothes just as well as my regular detergent without masking odors. Would I buy them? Maybe. I always buy what's on sale, so if there is a major sale or coupon ... I just might! #gotitfree #secondskincare

Summer is Now in Full Swing!

It is hot. Very hot. Summer is officially in full swing here in Alabama. After a week on vacation, I'm finally trying to get back into a doable routine of crafting. Supplies have been purchased and plans are being made! Not to mention all the planning for my business overhaul! Super excited, but a little nervous about ensuring I can pull this all off. My little patio garden is chugging right along. I planted another variety of lettuce this past weekend and also 5 herbs. I really hope to repot them soon into their permanent containers. I did have a setback with my cucumbers and black-eyes, resulting in some pruning and uprooting, but they are now back on track. The only downside is that I'm now without internet. Bummer. It's hard to run an online business when your internet is down. All of these storms have knocked out our wifi, so hopefully it will be up and running soon. Pictures, crafts and tutorials are forthcoming. Be on the lookout for an upcoming bzz agent review for Tide! Super excited to try out their Free & Clear Pods.

Head & Shoulders Moisture Care Review

I finally posted my first YouTube video! Be kind ... no laughing! LOL.

I'm so glad I was selected to try out the new Head & Shoulders Moisture products on behalf of BzzAgent and Head and Shoulders. #moisturecare #gotitfree I was sent full-sized bottles of the Moisture Care 2-in-1 Shampoo + Conditioner, Moisture Care Co-wash, and Moisture Care Scalp Soother. I have included my video review above. In case you do not have time to watch it (it's very short, about 9 minutes), continue below for my unbiased opinion.

Since I was not paid to give this review, I'll tell it to you straight. I love this new line. It claims to give your hair moisture and sooth your flaky, irritated scalp. It did all of that!

Shampoo + Conditioner
The shampoo did not leave my hair feeling dry and stripped. It provided enough moisture for me to detangle my dry, tangled hair. It also smells lovely and lathered quickly.

Co-wash
This co-wash is THE BOMB! It is thick and reminds me of cocoa butter. My hair was super moisturized while and after using this product. I didn't have to keep it on long to reap the benefits of it, either. I believe it will make a good deep conditioner and possibly a good leave-in. I will test it out and let you know.

Scalp Soother
I tried the scalp soother for a week before trying the other products. I did not feel the tingling sensation others claimed to feel; however, I did once I used the other products. It felt very mild to me, but pleasant. It smells SO good! I've applied it to my scalp some days just so my hair can smell like it! I think this product is good for continual use in order to reap the full benefits.

So there you have it! Go ahead and give it a try! I believe you will like this new line. I plan to continue using it for the next two months to get a more detailed opinion. I have already decided to add the Co-wash to my regular hair routine. Have you tried these products? Looking to try them? Let me know your thoughts.
