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.
Playtex Sport Body Wipes: 3.7/5 stars
