Do you have kids? Do you worry about germs? Have you heard of viruses and H1N1, etc? I worry that my family will get the flu. I worry that son will not wash his hands and catch a cold. Have you ever thought where germs are lurking? Thanks to MomSelect I received an OUTLAST™ Hand Sanitizer party kit. I provided samples for my guests. We also received facts facts, tips, and games to play during our party. We learned that germs lurk on our purses. I did a test to see where everyone would put their purse during the party. I watch and took notes. Even though I had cleaned my bar and counter 2 people put their purses on there. I had 2 others put their purses on the table we were sitting at. Most just dropped their purses on the floor next to them. Everyone was very shocked to hear the germs that they are carrying on their purses. It was a very fun and educational night for everyone.
Learn more about OUTLAST™ Hand Sanitizer by reading the frequently ask questions from their website:
How does OUTLAST™ Hand Sanitizer work? OutLast™ Hand Sanitizer kills the vast majority of germs instantly due to the presence of ethyl alcohol, and it continues to provide antimicrobial effects for up to six hours. Scientists discovered a way to blend common preservatives at low concentrations to continue controlling germs for up to six hours. This patented Viacydin® technology can continue to control germs for up to six hours.
What makes OutLast™ Hand Sanitizer different from other over-the-counter hand sanitizers that lack persistence? Other hand sanitizers that lack persistence kill germs quickly, but as soon as a contaminated surface is touched, new germs are transferred to the hands. What separates OutLast™ Hand Sanitizer from other alcohol-based hand sanitizers is its patented formula, which provides the ability to control harmful germs for up to six hours.
Is OutLast™ Hand Sanitizer used by doctors, nurses and other health care workers? Yes, the OutLast™ Hand Sanitizer formula has been used in hospitals for years. Surgeons and other clinicians rely on the formula because it is extremely effective - in not just killing harmful germs, but in providing hours-long persistence during surgical and related medical procedures.
Is OutLast™ Hand Sanitizer safe for use on children? OutLast™ Hand Sanitizer can be used safely on children age 2 and older with adult supervision. It should not be used on infants under 2 years of age. The formula has been tested for safety and skin irritation and is safe when used as directed. OutLast™ Hand Sanitizer, as well as other hand sanitizers that contain ethyl alcohol, should be used only on intact skin.
What harmful germs that can cause illness does OutLast™ Hand Sanitizer kill? The U.S. Food and Drug Administration does not permit manufacturers to make claims against specific types of germs. To minimize the spread of illness, consumers should practice good hand hygiene and follow other infection-control guidelines recommended by doctors. When soap and water are not available, an alcohol-based hand sanitizer like OutLast™ hand Sanitizer can be an important part of good hand hygiene.
Why do you need alcohol in a Hand Sanitizer? Ethyl alcohol is an important ingredient because it kills germs on contact. The Centers for Disease Control recommends using alcohol-based instant hand sanitizers when soap and water are not readily available. However, although alcohol kills germs instantly, it quickly loses its effectiveness. OutLast™ Hand Sanitizer contains ethyl alcohol for an immediate kill, but then controls for up to six hours due to its patented Viacydin® technology.
How should I use OutLast™ Hand Sanitizer? Apply a small amount of the product and wet your hands thoroughly. Rub hands together briskly until dry. It is important to reapply OutLast™ to your dry hands after washing with soap and water. Adults should always supervise children in the use of the product.
Is OutLast™ Hand Sanitizer active against H1N1 (Swine Flu) or MRSA? No hand sanitizer is indicated for the prevention of H1N1 or MRSA. However, one of the ways to protect yourself from germs is to practice good hand hygiene. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advises people to stay healthy by: Covering your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze, and throwing the tissue in the trash after you use it. Washing your hands frequently with soap and water or using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer when soap and water are not available. Avoiding touching your eyes, nose or mouth - because this is often how germs are spread. Staying home if you are sick and limiting contact with others.
How do some infectious respiratory diseases spread? According to the Centers for Disease Control, the main way that respiratory illnesses like colds and flu are spread is from person to person in respiratory droplets of coughs and sneezes. This can happen when an infected person coughs or sneezes, and the droplets move through the air and are inhaled or deposited on the mouth or nose of people nearby. Sometimes germs also can be spread when a person touches respiratory droplets from another person on a surface like a desk or door handle and then touches his or her own eyes, mouth or nose before washing their hands. Some germs can live two hours or longer on surfaces like cafeteria tables, doorknobs and desks.
What is the best way to practice hand hygiene? Wash your hands with soap and water, especially when they are visibly dirty, and wash for 15 to 20 seconds. When soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. Due to its immediate effect and persistence, OutLast™ Hand Sanitizer can be an important part of good hand hygiene when soap and water are not readily available. Tests indicate that OutLast™ can continue controlling germs for up to six hours. (Sing the Happy Birthday song)
***Disclosure-MomSelect sent a Party kit with samples for my guest. As part of being the host of the party, I received a Clipa. My CLipa will help keep my purse from getting pesky germs on it. It holds up to 45 lbs, and I think my purse is about 44 lbs, hahahha...
Daisy Fuentes has been redefining health, fashion, beauty and fitness for almost 20 years. From MTV to network television, a slew of cable series and specials, she has the ability to move seamlessly between music, fashion, fitness and style, and to own these categories as a host, expert and guide. In her new book, Daisy offers advice, personal stories, and tips from other celebrities on how to become unforgettable.
Daisy is a Latina I admire. She has done it all. She reveals a new side to us in this book. Unforgettable You: Master the Elements of Style, Spirituality, and True Beauty is a book I recommend every lady out there should read, expecially my Latinas. Growing up my mom was too busy working to girl talk with me about different topics. I grew up thinking the outside beauty made a person vain. But now I see how outside beauty can help someone's self esteem. A touch of lip gloss, some curls, and a small heel can do so much for me. Inner beauty is important as well. But in order for someone to feel beautiful, they must be content with themselves. I sometimes have not been. As I started reading Daisy's book I starting asking so many questions to myself. Her book was so interactive that I was able to kinda use it as a self-help book for myself. Many people around me would describe me as bubbly, active, and loud. I am very shy. Just yesterday we went to a parent meeting for my son's youth group. We were asked to say our name, and something about ourselves. My voice started cracking and I was so nervous I could bearly answer. I did what Daisy says in her book. I sat around and watched everyone. By the end of the evening, I was having small talk with a few people and felt more comfortable. I learned so much about myself reading this book. I loved all the quotes, and tips. Seeing life through someone who has seen alot help me open my eyes. Daisy made me feel like if I knew her personally and we were girl talking the entire time I was reading the book. I recommend this book. For more information on Daisy, go to www.daisyfuentes.com For more information on the book or to get a copy, please click here: UNFORGETTABLE YOU
***Disclosure-I was provided a copy of the book for this review. These are my honest thoughts.
** During last year’s tour, The Skin Cancer Foundation found over 1,200 suspected skin cancers and precancers, including 77 suspected cases of melanoma.**
According to the EPA (http://www.epa.gov/sunwise/uvindex.html), the UV Index in the Houston area is at number 11, which means it has reached an extreme classification. With UV levels that high and with the news that one in five Americans will develop skin cancer in the course of a lifetime, it’s more important than ever that the people in the Houston area take precautions to protect themselves from the harmful UV rays.
WHAT: For the third year in a row, The Skin Cancer Foundation’s Road to Healthy Skin Tour presented by AVEENO® and Rite Aid will be stopping by the Houston area in the Tour’s 38-foot customized RV to offer free full-body skin cancer screenings to the public. Local dermatologists are donating their time to offer the free screenings and will also be available for media interviews upon request.
WHY: Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States, with more than 3.5 million cases in two million people diagnosed annually. However, if detected early, skin cancer is also the most preventable and curable form of cancer. This tour will make more than 80 stops across the country to educate people about the importance of sun protection on a daily basis and visiting their dermatologists annually to get a skin cancer screening. It is crucial for everyone, no matter their skin color, to practice sun safety.

I love serving my family healthy nutritious dishes. Just this past weekend we enjoyed some Fish sandwiches and fish sticks. My son normally doesn't eat fish. It doesn't look appealing to him. And sometimes the smell doesn't help. But he thinks he is eating chicken when I serve Gorton's. He was not the only who became a fish eater. My bestfriend's husband loved his fish sandwich. We added lettuce, tomatoes, jalapenos, and cheese. They were great.

My family loves popcorn. We have movie night at our house at least once a week. What is a movie without popcorn? We also host movie night for our bestfriends and family once a month. We have tasted our share of popcorn and popcorn brands. When hosting and feeding my family and friends I like when I can serve healthy options for them. So I was happy to hear that Pop Weaver has made popcorn with canola oil. Check out the facts about the new popcorn in my earlier post about Pop Weaver made with Canola Oil. My family, friends, and myself tested this new popcorn and we all loved it. It is healthier for us, and it takes great. It is lower in calories, total fat, saturated fat and sodium. It contains whole grains, antioxidants, and Omega-3, Omega-6 and Omega-9 fatty acids, which help protect against heart disease, heart attacks and strokes. So grab a healthy snack whether you are doing movie night, or need a snack at work like I normally do.
About: Our Butter Burst flavor is special because it is maximized at the time of popping. Canola oil provides the most robust flavor when combined with our unique Butter Burst flavoring. We optically scan every kernel to be sure that each one meets our high quality standards. Our popcorn is fresher. And fresher popcorn pops up bigger, better and tastier. We process, package and ship our popcorn faster than the other guys do. Because fresher popcorn is better popcorn.

"Enter to win an 8-pk box #popweaver popcorn @independentmami ends 7/19 http://tinyurl.com/29sm9e8"
This giveaway ends July 19, 2010 at 8 am. 2 winners will be selected at random.org. Winners will have 24 hrs to claim their prize. Please leave an email in your comment. Thank you for entering and good luck.
***Disclosure-My family received a box of popcorn to review. No compensation was received. These are Independentmami's honest opinions.
Pop Weaver® is introducing the first microwave popcorn to be made with Canola oil. The new and improved formulation of the popcorn enhances the rich, buttery taste that Pop Weaver is known for, and is lower in calories, total fat, saturated fat and sodium, while also providing Omega-3, Omega-6 and Omega-9 fatty acids.
“Since popcorn is all we make, we’re continually striving to make our product the best-tasting, healthiest popcorn, at the best possible price,” said Mike Weaver, president and chief executive officer of the Weaver Popcorn Company, which makes Pop Weaver. “We’ve worked for years to replace our previous oil blend with a Canola oil blend, and we are proud to lead the industry with this innovation.”
All three flavors in the Pop Weaver microwave popcorn line – Light Butter, Butter and Extra Butter – have been reformulated to incorporate Canola oil. Both Light Butter and Butter carry the American Heart Association’s Heart Check mark, designating them as heart-healthy products. All three flavors also contain zero grams of trans fat.
Pop Weaver’s Canola oil blend is primarily comprised of “heart healthy” polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, which help to lower LDL (bad) cholesterol, and supply Omega-3, Omega-6 and Omega-9 fatty acids, helping to protect against coronary heart disease, heart attacks and strokes. And the popcorn provides other health benefits, as well, since it is a good source of whole grains. Not only does it contain fiber, but a study released this summer found that popcorn also provides healthy antioxidants. In fact, because it is unprocessed, according to the study, popped popcorn provided more antioxidants than any other snack food tested.
New Popcorn Lower in Fat and Calories, High in Taste For the first time, even lovers of Pop Weaver Extra Butter microwave popcorn can enjoy an entire bag of their favorite snack, guilt-free. With only 260 calories, 2g saturated fat, and 0g trans fats per full bag popped, new Pop Weaver Extra Butter microwave popcorn will satisfy your butter craving without blowing your diet. The Light Butter and Butter flavors – which carry the Heart Check designation – contain only 210 calories and 230 calories per full popped bag, respectively.
“With most ‘healthy’ snacks, you typically have to give up flavor,” said Weaver. “But our new microwave popcorn really is the best of all worlds. Not only does it taste great, but it is better for you.”
Weaver adds that Pop Weaver remains a great snacking value, as well. “You can serve your family our popcorn for 21 cents per full bag popped, said Weaver. “No other snack provides the nutrition that we do for such a low cost. And it’s fun and delicious to eat.”
New Pop Weaver microwave popcorn made with Canola oil in Extra Butter, Butter and Light Butter is available at mass market retailers and discount stores nationwide.

My thoughts- This roll-on just rolls ons. It is that simply. Have a dark spot, roll it on. I use it on my sun spots all around my face and have noticed the spots to be lighting little by little. My face is fair skin colored and any spots really stick out. The process is gradual but it is working. I have been using the product for a month now. Be careful when applying so product does not spill out. Roll on carefully.
***Disclosure-I received a bottle of Gentle Peeling Smooth Away Cream with primrose extract and On-The-Spot Brightening Corrector for my review. No sompensation was received. These are Independentmami's honest opinions.
Have you ever forgotten about a wet towel, or wet clothes? What do you do when you find them? I throw it away. I can't stand the smell. And that smell never goes away. I have washing them over and over, adding bounce, softerners, etc.. I was sent a bottle of Smelly Towel to review.
About Smelly Towel- It’s all natural has a wonderful garden fresh fragrance and is specifically made to remove that musty, mildew smell from towels and clothing. Just a teaspoon added to a full load of musty towels or laundry makes them smell like new again! Use just a half teaspoon of Smelly Towel Cleaner as a detergent booster to enhance colors and keep that fresh smell!
I tested and tried Smelly Towel on all my nasty towels that I had in my garage to throw away. I was very skeptical at first, but the smell is gone. My towels came out like they had never stunk. I used the Smelly Towel on my fiancee's musty gym clothes too. It took out the sweaty stinch that just kept getting worse out. I have been using it over and over as a detergent booster from load after load. So if you have stinky towels and you have been throwing them away, you could try Smelly Towel.
***Disclosure-A bottle of Smelly Towel was sent to me to review. No compensation was received. These are Independentmami's honest opinions.
