about.me

As a Bzzagent, I got invited to try out a new website- about.me is a website that neatly puts all of your online profiles into one place that is yours. They advertise that it is for personal or professional use. Personally, it won't be that useful for me, but I think people could use this site very successfully for professional use. It's also pretty fun to look around at other people's pages, there are "featured profiles" to look around at. Some people are so creative, and there are celebs who use it, too. If you want to check out my page, here's the link http://about.me/edit/laurenlouise.



I set up my page by uploading a big picture of me, and linking all of my online profiles to it. There are tons of sites you can link, but I only use a few of them. There are really fun fonts to play around with, and there's a spot to write a biography, but I didn't use it. I figure that if people want to know more about me, then they can click on some of my links. If you decide to sign up now, you can get a free pack of business cards, which contain your about.me URL and a QR code. The best way to learn more is to try it out for yourself and make your own about.me profile. Also, think about becoming a Bzzagent!

Playtex Sport Body Wipes-For More Than Sports

As a member of Crowdtap, I got the opportunity to sample and share Playtex Sport Body Wipes. People seemed a little weirded out when I asked them to try a Playtex Sport Body Wipe, because they associate Playtex with feminine products. The majority of people liked them, though.
The idea of the body wipes is that by using them, you can "SHOWER With Your CLOTHES ON." The wipes are nice if you can't shower right away, but I would not substitute my daily shower by using the wipes. Especially after a hard workout, even your hair feels in need of a shower, and the wipes can't do anything about sweaty hair.
I found them most useful while traveling. After many hours in a car, I feel gross and greasy. I used a Playtex Sport Body Wipe at a rest stop, and I felt much fresher. As I used the wipe, it made my skin feel a little sticky, which was gross, but after a few minutes that went away. I'm not sure how I feel about the scent of the wipes, it's a little strange until your skin dries, then it smells fresh. I think different choices for scent would be a great idea. The wipes stay moist the whole time and they don't rip easily while using them. I wish I had these during my basketball and volleyball seasons. They'd be great for after games when there isn't enough time to take a real shower.

Purex Complete 3-in-1 Laundry Sheet- Purex Perfection

Purex Complete 3-in-1 Laundry Sheets are a product for anybody with a busy lifestyle. Instead of putting liquid detergent in your washer, throw a Purex 3-in-1 sheet in with your dirty clothes. The detergent is released during the washing cycle, and when you transfer it over to the dryer, the softener and anti-static are released. As a college student, these laundry sheets were life savers! Instead of hauling my dirty clothes, laundry detergent, fabric softener, and static sheets down to the first floor every week, I just hauled a convenient-sized container of these sheets. They would be perfect for going to the laundromat, too. I was skeptical at first because it seems so light that it wouldn't clean clothing effectively. They work great, though, and left my clothes smelling fresh and looking clean. After the case is empty I used it to hold my tampons! It's a good container that could be used for many things once the sheets are gone. I love that I don't have to worry about throwing out big plastic jugs that are harmful to the environment either. Purex was really thinking when they came up with these!

Color Duck Tape- Good Quacks and Bad Quacks

I knew I needed duct tape for a project, and expected to come back from the store with the standard silver colored tape. I was so excited to find that with Duck Tape brand duct tape I had cute patterns and colors to choose from! I needed something to keep myself from tripping on the cable cord in my dorm room, and was happy that the tape would double as a decoration and a useful tool. It worked awesome for a while, but eventually the cord came off of the base of my wall and door frame because the tape couldn't hold up any longer. I switch it every so often now, because I do like how it looks-I just wish it would hold longer. It works awesome for other things though. I've been looking into making some gifts from it, there are a lot of patterns online for Duck Tape crafts. Flowers, wallets, purses, flags, and many more things can be created using duct tape.. I guess it's not just for sticking anymore!

Contigo Autoseal Water Bottle- Go Contigo!

I have had my 24 oz Contigo Autoseal water bottle for a couple months now, and I'm so glad I bought it. I am a sucker for water bottles! Other bottles of the same quality can be pretty expensive, but the price for the Contigo bottle is fair. As you hold the bottle, there is a button where your fingers naturally lie that you push for the mouthpiece to open. There is a clip across from the mouthpiece that works perfectly to quickly attach it to a backpack or other bag for quick transport. I really reccomend this as a college student. Its thinner base also makes it a great fit for cup holders if you're a traveler. The style and unique design of it makes me feel like I'm drinking from an accessory as much as I'm drinking from a water bottle.

eos Products- e-xcellent o-utstanding s-pectacular

I have had the awesome experience of trying eos shave cream and lip balm. I love them both! I first purchased the lip balm when I saw it in a checkout line. The spherical shape drew me to it-twice. I have purchased the yellow and pink balms, and like the yellow much more. It makes my lips feel more smooth, and it seems like it has more of a healing effect than the pink. The pink is a great smell, though.
eos Lip Balm- 5/5 stars

A couple weeks ago I discovered eos shave cream. I bought the Lavendar Jasmine scent and it is honestly the best shaving cream I've ever used. It makes legs smooth for hours after the shower, which is something I have not experienced with other shave gels. The scent seems to last on my body, too, and I love that! Most shaving creams I have used are gels or foams, but this stays a cream. On the bottle, it says, "it's so moisturizing, you can shave wet or dry." I was very skeptical to try shaving dry, because it is usually painful once you sweat or get wet. With eos shave cream it felt as if I'd just gotten out of the shower because my legs really did feel moisturized.

Can't wait to try the hand and body lotion!
