I recently had the opportunity to try Kula Watermelon flavored Bai Antioxidant Infusion for free in exchange for my honest review, courtesy of Butterly. It took a while to track down, possibly because it's fairly new on the market, but I finally got my hands on a bottle. I was slightly skeptical at first - I've had other flavors of Bai Antioxidant Infusion before and they're generally good, albeit a bit light on the flavor, but anything from any brand that is supposed to be watermelon flavored can be rather hit or miss. Some are just too sweet, like many candies, and others don't taste like watermelon at all. Bai surprised me! On the first sip, it reminded me of drinking the bit of watermelon juice at the bottom of a bowl that freshly-cut watermelon had been sitting in. It's kind of faintly watermelon flavored but, to be realistic, so is an actual watermelon! This is definitely a great drink and I highly recommend it - not just for the flavor, of course, but it's also hydrating, has a bit of Vitamin C in it, (one of the antioxidants), is ridiculously low on calories (only 10 for the whole bottle), sugar, and carbs. Plus it has a mild amount of caffeine, which makes it a useful pick-me-up if you're prone to having a midday slump. Definitely a decent drink, and a great addition to Bai's lineup! -
Colgate Total Fresh Boost Toothpaste Gel

I've not always been a big fan of Colgate toothpastes but I wanted to give this one a chance. I do love that the tube is recyclable! That is huge - I can only imagine how many toothpaste tubes end up going to landfills to sit there for many years. We absolutely need more oral care products like this!
As for the toothpaste itself, I liked the color. It is a fun blue gel. The flavor is good as well! I do find that it slips off my toothbrush almost every time I use it which can be frustrating but is really a minor inconvenience. I do find, however, that this product is fairly similar to my experience with Colgate toothpaste in the past, in terms of how long the flavor lasts. It starts off nice and minty, but it loses its minty flavor not even halfway through my brushing and, by the time I'm done brushing, I feel as if I need to brush all over again because there is absolutely no mint flavoring left. My ideal experience with toothpaste is that my entire mouth feels minty and refreshed at the end of a brushing. With Colgate products, I almost feel like I didn't use toothpaste at all by the time I'm done. My mouth does feel fairly clean - it just lacks that minty freshness you come to expect after brushing your teeth.
Overall, a very decent toothpaste! The recyclable tube really makes it worthwhile! It's just not my personal favorite in terms of flavoring.

Irish Spring Sage and Cedar Body Wash

I won't lie, I was a little bit skeptical about this new Irish Spring body wash. I used Irish Spring bar soap all the time while I was growing up and, though I enjoyed the scent, my skin didn't seem to enjoy the soap as much as I did. I haven't used Irish Spring since I moved out from living with my parents about 18 years ago, so I decided to go ahead and apply to try a free sample of the body wash.
I ended up loving this body wash more than I ever thought I would! The sage and cedar scent is SO GOOD! It's invigorating in the way that Irish Spring's traditional scent is, but the sage/cedar smell adds a warm comfortable feel that makes the Irish Spring scent feel a little bit less powerful - in a good way. I was a little surprised pouring it out of the bottle, as the body wash is kind of a dark amber color which is a little different from other body washes I've tried, and I like it! It also lathers up really well, and keeps me feeling fresh for hours! I'm always pretty excited to shower now so that I can use this body wash, so I'd say this is a success, and I'd happily recommend it to anyone! I think I have a new favorite! Thanks, Butterly, for the awesome full-sized freebie!!

I was really excited to try a new club soda! I usually make my own soda water at home, but sometimes it's fun to pick up flavored club soda to try, and I'm generally a fan of Canada Dry products. I was lucky enough to get a whole case of Canada Dry Triple Berry for free from Butterly to try out and review!
These cans of Canada Dry Triple Berry have just the right amount of carbonation which is awesome, and they are great for making vodka sodas! They are definitely unsweetened which is good, although I find that this may make the berry flavoring a lot more subtle than I expected. It's kind of more like re-living a distant memory of once having had something that was slightly berry-flavored. I liked them regardless and drank them as they were during the day, but I did cheat a couple of times and added a bit of raspberry or lemon flavoring along with a bit of vodka in the evenings. ;)
Overall, pretty good! Perfect for anyone trying to avoid sugar but wanting club soda with a very slight hint of berry flavoring!

Awesome in a pinch!
I got a free coupon to try this and it was not bad! This makes a great snack or small meal and doesn't take long to prepare! I did find, however, that it might need to be cooked a little longer than the packaging says, as it was still cold in the very middle. Other than that, pretty decent!

Mott's Clamato Reserve is fairly decent! It has a bit more of a kick than the classic form of Mott's Clamato juice. It's not as watery which is great, and I'm particularly a fan of the fact that there is no MSG in it, so that it's not uncomfortably filling. I do prefer the flavor of classic Clamato juice a little bit, however. I find that the Reserve is missing a bit of the tanginess that I enjoy from regular Clamato juice. When making my own caesars, I think I'd still prefer the classic clamato for the flavor, and for the price, as the Reserve is smaller in volume but has a significantly higher price point. I'll keep trying different twists on it, though, and will definitely keep it in mind for special occasions! -

Dove Men+Care's Active+Fresh Body + Face Wash is fantastic! I'll admit that I haven't tried it on my face, as I keep it in the shower to use primarily as a body wash, but I love it. I look forward to using this product every time I shower! The fresh scent is excellent and helps me feel energized when I go to start my day, the product lathers up just the right amount, and my skin is left feeling clean and fresh when I step out of the shower. I'm not left with my skin feeling too dry afterwards, which is part of why this product gets top marks from me! I'll be purchasing this product in the future for sure! -

I love this Dove 2-in-one shampoo/conditioner! It smells great, lathers well and certainly does what it claims. Using this product first thing in the morning gives me an awesome energy boost that lasts all day, because the scent is fairly high-energy. When I get out of the shower, my hair feels and smells great. This may actually be my new favorite shampoo! I'll definitely be recommending it to others! -
