Bic Gel-ocity

I love trying new products and this new item from the Bic line is another keeper. The Gel-ocity Quick Dry gel pens are amazing. First of all they are in click form so no losing tops which is worth it's weight in gold alone. Yes I like them that much. I was sent a three pack of the pens, an activity sheet, and some coupons for free to share with friends and family. 

I wanted to get a bigger set of pens but all the stores carry are the old Bic Gel-ocity pens. They are not like the set I was sent which was a big bummer but I am hoping they get them in soon. I thought for sure these big box stores would carry this new item with back to school areas all set up, but not yet, so I am biding my time. I told my girls they can each get a set and I am getting one for myself, the rest of the coupons will be given to friends, family, and even strangers I meet in the store if they are interested in them. 

We all colored and decorated a bit on the activity sheet we were sent and this is how it turned out. The pens dry super quick no pen ink on our hands or fingers. From ages 6-45 no ink stained hands, this is awesome and a big plus for those who love to doodle, draw, decorate, journal, etc. My girls want Bic to put up more printable activity sheets, which I agree would be a great idea.

Lattes in 5 seconds

Yes you read that right, flavored Lattes in under 7 seconds. How do you ask? With International Delight One Touch Latte. You just make your coffee black, make sure to only fill 2/3 of the way full or use a large mug, then take out your One Touch Latte, give it a shake, stick the tip just below your drinks surface and squeeze nozzle for 5-7 seconds. Instant Latte with no hassles of making it yourself or spending lots of money to get one at the coffee shop.

Now you have Coffee Shop flavored Lattes right at your fingertips. Flavors available are Mocha, Vanilla, and Caramel. I love this in my Cocoa. I do warn you though that if you have coffee use it black until you taste the sweetness from the One Touch Latte. I know that for me when I use it in my cocoa I use either unsweetened cocoa or I put less Cocoa mix in so that it isn't too sweet while drinking.

Recently my internet was down so I was super excited to find it on this morning and quickly made my
Latte so I could catch up and enjoy my online time. Now my time has come to an end and I need to get the dishes made and towels folded and into bathroom. Enjoy having a Latte even if you only have a few minutes to do it.

Nestle Splash

Usually during the summer our family enjoys
iced tea, lemonade, soda, sparkling water, water and infused water.

This year thanks to influenster I was able to try a new flavored water. I have tried other brands in the past and said yuck never buying them again, but this one from Nestle Splash is awesome, berrylicious to be exact.

Nestle Splash is something I can grab instead of Soda when on the go when I want something more then water but don't have any fruit infused water ready.

Delicious, looking forward to trying out other flavors. Now to get the stores to stock these in their colors so they are cold and ready for purchase.


Nestle Splash can be found at most grocery stores and of course Amazon.

Mr. Sketch Scented Markers

This post was sponsored by Mr. Sketch® as part of a sampling activation for Crowdtap. I received complimentary products to facilitate my review.

My family really enjoys trying out new products, this time my girls were able to try out the 10pk Mr. Sketch washable scented markers.

They had me at washable. As a mom I love quick cleanups after art time. My daughter is currently in the rain phase so she adds it to everything. Of course with new markers comes the classic rainbow to try out the colors.

She is very happy with them and we both decided we liked the watermelon scented marker the best. We also like the smell of the black licorice marker but do not like the taste of the candy.

We both agreed we would like to see the yellow banana changed to something like Pineapple but of course these are just our ideas. This was the first time we had a whole set of Mr. Sketch at the same time. These are great for those just learning how to draw as well as those who have been drawing for a while. Not great for detail work being chisel markers though.

We love the Mr. Sketch colorful scented markers to take art to a new level.

Garnier Whole Blends

Recently I was able to try out some new products while sharing samples with friends and family. Three new products from Garnier Whole Blends. I was sent packages of shampoo and conditioner in these three blends.

Coconut Water Vanilla Milk

Coconut Oil Coconut Butter

Honey Treasures

 Here I am after washing and letting my hair dry naturally. It is soft but still has some frizziness. I used the Coconut Water Vanilla Milk.

I then used the Coconut Oil Coconut Butter and found that this tamed my frizziness perfectly for several days.


Last but not least I used the Honey Treasures. This is a repairing shampoo and conditioner so I have decided to back and forth between the Honey Treasures and Coconut Oil Coconut Butter for the perfect mixture for my hair care needs.

Lightly scented not overwhelming, does a great job, affordable, although coupons combined with sales would be when I would purchase this. Every cent counts in our family. I recommend this product for those who want more soft hair, or less frizzy hair, or need a product that will help restore and protect their hair. I am 43 with natural hair, no greys yet and want to keep my hair that way as long as I can.

Some of my family that was able to try out the products.
