Neosporin

When I first moved out of my parents' house to my first apartment, I did the necessary shopping for "needed items."  You know, things mom always has that you take for granted like medicine, tissues, extra toothpaste, etc.  Included in that list for me was Neosporin.

Neosporin has always been a staple in our medicine cabinet.  Burns, scraped knees, minor cuts-dab a little of Neosporin on and your protecting against infection and keeping scarring at a minimum.  But have you ever stopped to look at the expiration date on your tube of Neosporin?  40% of homes have expired topical antibiotics sitting in their medicine cabinet.  I just checked-I'm one of them.

Let's face it…you use very little each time you apply things like Neosporin.  You would have to have a very clumsy family to use up an entire package!  Neosporin wants to get the word out for you to check your medicine cabinet.  Pitch the expired products and run out and buy some new ones before Spring is in full swing.  My new favorite is the Neosporin To Go!-it's specially designed for easy, one-handed use, resists crushing and goes anywhere with you.  It's already packed in my handbag for trips to the park and the inevitable scraped knee.

Thanks to MomCentral and Johnson's for asking me to talk about this great product!  TKDDaughter gives this a

Johnsons No More Tears 50th Anniversary

As I sit to write this post, my son is currently taking a bubble bath.  He is, of course, using the new JOHNSON'S® Baby Bubble Bath & Wash.  That's because I only use Johnson's products for him.  Over the past four plus years, I have been given other bath products, but I can't use them.  I'm sure they are quality products, but for me, Johnson's is the bath time product of choice.  I like the smell of baby after a bath using Johnson's products.  Forever will I think of my son's first bath in his little newborn tub when I smell Johnson's products.  I can remember the frightened look in his eyes when I placed him  in there and how suddenly he seemed to relax as I poured the warm water over him.  Memories like these are what make us go back to the products we love.

Johnson's is currently celebrating their 50th Anniversary with two new products…the JOHNSON'S® HEAD-TO-TOE® Foaming Wash and JOHNSON'S® Baby Bubble Bath & Wash.  My son is loving the bubble bath-we've never used bubble bath before and he's having a blast playing in them.  (Now, if we could only get the bathing done and get the clean boy in bed…)  The Foaming Wash is so easy to use…it comes out easily and it's helping our son to wash himself.  (Yay!!) If you'd like more info on Johnson's, check this out.

Johnson's No More Tears seems to be a family tradition.  Thanks, MomCentral, for allowing to post my thoughts on this anniversary and to Johnson's for being a part of my life for…well, let's just say a long time.

Electrolux Virtual Cupcake Campaign for OCRF

I desperately want any of the appliances that Electrolux makes…and their new Red Hot Red washer and dryer has certainly gotten my attention.  Electrolux makes high quality appliances, but what makes them an even more attractive company is the charitable work they do.

Right now through the end of February, Electrolux, teaming up with Kelly Ripa, is holding the Virtual Cupcake Campaign for the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund.  By logging on to Kelly Confidential, you can send a virtual cupcake to a friend and Electroluxwill donate $1 to OCRF.  Just think, you can brighten a friend's day AND do charitable work in one click of the mouse!  For a little more motivation, every time that you send a cupcake, your name gets entered into a drawing for Electrolux's newest front-load washer and dryer.  It's a win/win/win situation!

Kelly Ripa has also designed a "Wear Your Heart on Your Sleeve" t shirt that you can purchase and 100% of the proceeds benefit OCRF.  It's a great gift to get your girlfriends and for yourself.  You can look good and feel good all at the same time.

Thanks,MomCentral, for hooking me up with this great campaign! Go now and send your cupcakes…it's a ton of fun and you're supporting such a great cause!  TKDDaughter gives Electrolux and their Virtual Cupcake Campaign a

Blog Writing Course

February 17, 2009 by · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Weblogs 

You're reading this review, so clearly you like blogs. You  might have a blog already, or perhaps you just like to read other people's blogs.  But wouldn't it be awesome to host your own blog?  To have a place to voice your opinions, to share wisdom with others, or just perhaps an embarrassing story about yourself.  Maybe you are looking for a community of like minds for support and encouragement.  Having a blog gives you a place to express yourself and enter an entirely different community. 

After years of badgering, BBM finally got me to start my own blog-but it took a class to get me to do it.  So, because she was teaching the class and I wanted to support her, I took the class.  It was awesome.  It helped me to understand the blog community better and it taught me how to develop a blog not only within the content, but also to build readership and community.  I worked with other talented people wanting to find their voice.  At first, we were shy and a little embarrassed, hesitant to put onto the computer screen what filled our heads.  Slowly, with great leadership and good course content, our skills expanded into the blogs we have today.

If you have ever thought about starting a blog OR you have a blog and need some help with it, I highly recommend you check out www.blogwritingcourse.com.  The new class starts now, so hurry and get registered.  You still have time to get in on this class and you won't regret it. 

Now go and get blogging!
