Filippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a Game Changer...

I love olive oil, I use it for everything and not just in the kitchen.  I have been known to remove stickers and lube up squeaky doors in the house, lol...  But let's get back to the cooking test.  I was lucky enough to be able to try out Filippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil and I am glad I did.  BzzAgent gave me an opportunity to try Filippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil for free, yes, they shipped me a bottle to try and blog about.  Now, on a normal day, I usually use Kirkland brand olive oil as I go through so much, I need to buy a large container at a time, but it is an average taste to me.  The first thing I noticed was that the Filippo Berio is so light, fresh and full of flavor, I forgot how delicious olive oil could really be.  I have used it to make a salad dressing with balsamic vinegar and it was awesome, very refreshing and flavorful.  Look at the posted pictures of an amazing dairy free sandwich spread  that I made with it.  Man I could taste the difference, without a doubt.  It just tasted cleaner and less oily if that makes any sense.  I also made a Mediterranean pasta dinner that is super fresh and delicious that only uses a dressing of olive oil, lemon juice salt and pepper.  This time, I served it to my husband who had no idea I was using a new olive oil and he noticed a difference in the flavor.  Again, the Filippo Berio is lighter, cleaner and fresher tasting and really helps bring the food to life.  I must say, I am very pleased with this brand of olive oil and I will be not only looking for, but buying the largest bottle of it I can find at the grocery store.  Filippo Berio has really brought my taste buds alive!

I just recently received Garnier Skin Renew Clinical Dark Spot Overnight Peel  through BuzzAgent so I could give it try and tell you all about it.  Let me start by telling you a little about my skin.  It is generally clear, no real issues, other than light brown spots below my eyes and on my nose from sun damage.  Normally I cannot see these issues in the winter as I am not out in the sun, but I am gearing up for a vacation and have been to the tanning beds. Well, that has brought those pesky spots out and receiveing the Garnier Skin Renew Clinical Dark Spot Overnight Peel could not have come at a better time.  I have started putting a towel over my face in the tanning bed as the product tells you that it will make you more prone to sunburn.  I have been using the product for about 8 days now and I have to say, I am seeing a difference.  My skin feels smoother, softer and more hydrated, which was not what I was expecting from a peel.  I would have bet that my skin would have dried out and become dry as that is usually what happens when I use skin peels.  I would also say that I am seeing the darker brown spots fading slightly, which is awesome.  I know that I should be seeing really amazing results after 4 weeks of use, so I will follow back up with all of you in 3 more weeks.  The product is super easy to use, just apply a thin layer on your face before bed and voilà!  That is all you have to do to see softer, brighter skin with fewer brown spots.  

What is the BEST razor EVER! The Schick Hydro Silk® razor of course!

I have used countless razors in my 20 years of shaving, but none have allowed me to shave without shaving cream!  I was skeptical at first, but once I wet the Schick Hydro Silk^® razor, I did a small test on my calf and I was so excited by how soothing and moisturizing it felt.  I was able to shave my armpits, arms, bikini area AND legs in less time than it takes me to do just one leg.  I do not have to stop and lather up with shaving cream that just clogs up the blades on my razor and my skin is left feeling so soft and smooth.  My husband was especially surprised by how soft and silky my legs felt afterwards.  I have already ordered blade refills as this is going to be my ONLY razor from now on.  I cannot tell you how pleased I am with its performance as it has been 3 days since shaving and my skin still looks soft, silky and smooth and the shave was so close, my legs still look freshly shaved.  I also like the ergonomic handle, it was lightweight without feeling like it would break or fly out of my hand.  It was also nice that it came with a suction cup hanger so it can dry properly in my shower.  It seems they thought of everything and I look forward to telling everyone I know what a great product this is.  I must disclose that I did in fact receive this razor for free from none other than the amazing Buzz Agent so I could review it.  All I can say is, THANK YOU!!!
