DISCLOSURE:  I have received the Go Gaga! Stack, Sort & Ball Drop Elephant from Infantino to facilitate my review.

I recently had the opportunity to try and review a new toy from Infantino: the Stack, Sort & Ball Drop Elephant from the Go Gaga! Collection.  It features four fun activities:

• Shape Sorter
• Ball Drop
• Push and Go Spinner
• Stacking Rings

Each activity is supposed to help encourage fine motor development, hand-eye coordination and rewards early problem solving efforts.  It's recommended for infants 6 months and up.

The Shape Sorter features three colored blocks in three different shapes.  It rewards your child with song, sounds and light when they put the blocks into the elephant.

There are three small balls included in three different colors.  Your child can drop them into the elephant or balance one on the elephant's trunk.  The balls are easy for small hands to hold.

DISCLOSURE: I received a free bottle of RUSK Deepshine® Color Care Invisible Dry Shampoo from StyleWatch Style Hunters to try and review.  All opinions are my own.

I hate my hair.  It's thick, coarse, and has a slight wave.  So, I usually end up washing it every morning and then blow drying and flat ironing it straight.  As I've gotten older, the grays have started coming in.  So, I've also started coloring my hair in the past year.  This has changed the texture of my hair, making it even dryer and harder to style.

I hardly ever go a day now without washing it.  My second day hair is pretty flat and oily if I straighten it.  If I leave it wavy, it's dry and frizzy and kind of crazy.  The idea of dry shampoo sounds appealing and like something I'd want to use, but of the several kinds of tried, they never seemed to work for me.  So, when I was given the chance to try another one, I was hopeful, but still skeptical.

DISCLOSURE:  I received a free bottle of Colgate Total Mouthwash from Influenster.com to try and review.  All opinions are my own.

I don't use mouthwash regularly.  While, I do brush and try to floss regularly, I find that most mouthwashes burn too much for me to use everyday.  I'll use them from time to time, whenever I felt like my mouth and teeth could use some extra cleaning.  When I was asked to try and review the new Colgate Total Advanced Pro-Shield Mouthwash, I was excited!

Colgate Total Advanced Pro-Shield Mouthwash provides up to 12 hours of protection -- even after eating and drinking.  All without the burn of alcohol!  It kills 99% of germs, reduces plaque, helps prevent gingivitis and freshens your breath.  It's available in three flavors:

• Peppermint Blast
• Spearmint Surge
• Wintermint Rush

I was sent a kit that included a 250 mL bottle of the Peppermint Blast flavor and a fact sheet on the product:

DISCLOSURE:  I was given two free bottles of Palmolive Soft Touch from Influenster.com to try and review.  All opinions are my own.

My husband and I like to pre-wash the dishes before we put them in the dishwasher.  We feel dishes get cleaner that way.  We also like to hand wash our pots, pans, wooden spoons, sippy cups and knives.  All that dishwashing can lead to dry hands.

So, I was excited when I was chosen by Influenster.com to try the new Palmolive Soft Touch dishwashing liquid.  It's supposed to be tough on grease, but soft on hands!  It's a mild formula with a touch of Vitamin E, Aloe or Coconut Butter.

Influenster sent a great kit that included one full size bottle to keep and one to share with a friend, as well as some coupons!  My box included the Vitamin E and Aloe varieties.

DISCLOSURE:  I received a free sample of Tastykake Kandy Bar Kakes from Influenster.com to try and review.  All opinions are my own.

I haven't had a Tastykake in YEARS!  When I was little, my Mom used to bring me Tastykake Jelly Krimpets when she came home from work.  Yum!  But then she stopped bringing them home and we never really bought them when we went out grocery shopping, so I stopped eating them.


So, I was pretty excited to learn that there was going to be a new kind of Tastykake in the Spring VoxBox from Influenster.  Tastykake Kandy Bar Kakes combine the taste of a candy bar with the freshness of a Tastykake.  Light and fluffy chocolate cakes are covered in chocolate and filled with a delicious creme filling.  They're even shaped like little candy bars!  They're available in three flavors:

• Peanut Butter - Made with Reese's Peanut Butter
• Peppermint - Made with Real York Peppermint Flavor
• S'mores - Made with Real Hershey's Cocoa and topped with Graham Cracker Crumbles
