I was asked to try and review a new and improved Febreze product and couldn't have been happier. We are currently in the process of getting our house on the market in hopes to relocate closer to my husband's job...so anything to help make our home more inviting and fresh to potential buyers is always welcome! I got that and a whole lot more with this Febreze product!

I received the Febreze Fabric Refresher in the mail last week and began using it right away. What a difference! It helps to eliminate any odors in the air and on fabrics while using a fine mist spray. This allows for an amazingly even application and creates a sense of freshness throughout the house. There really isn't anything that I didn't like about this product. I would definitely recommend trying it in your own home if you're looking for a new, fresh feeling.

Growing up with a Mom who worked in the dental field, I learned a lot about dental health and why it's so important! Now, having a child of my own, I can appreciate all that my parents taught us about taking care of our teeth each and every day. This comes to mind as Easter quickly approaches. Did you know that it is one of the top-selling candy holidays celebrated?! It's actually second to Halloween! This really didn't come as a big surprise to me knowing that many children receive baskets and eggs full of candy, but I thought this year it may take a back seat with the economy the way it is and people not wanting to spend on it. That is not the case! In fact, I read that the National Retail Federation has said consumers are expected to spend more than $2 billion on candy this year!! WOW!

Dental health is very important, and with the unavoidable sugary treats many of us give our children each year for holidays like Easter, it concerns many of us that their oral health may be at risk. Tooth decay is the most common chronic childhood disease...even more so than asthma and hay fever! I'd say with those facts, parents have a right to be concerened, wouldn't you?!!

Easter is right around the corner, and now more than ever it's important that all parents make sure that the right steps are being taken to ensure good oral health for their children! Oral-B Stages feels very strongly about this and has actually posted a video about the importance of dental health. It was taken at an even in New York at a fun and kid friendly venue, and features some helpful information from Dr. Laura Jana, M.D. She is an author and founder of Practical Parenting Consulting, LLC and a mother of three. She can relate to having children and wants to help those of us who are also parents, do what's best for our children when it comes to dental health.

The following are some easy to remember tips that Oral-B has put together to help make brushing fun...some of which I've already begun to use with my daughter and have had much success!

-Brush your teeth with your child to set a good example. This also helps your child to learn by watching and imitating you.
-Choose toothbrushes and toothpaste with popular kids’ characters, like Oral-B Stages, to help establish positive oral care routines with familiar friends like Winnie the Pooh or Disney Princesses.
-Sing your child’s favorite song, such as “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star,” for two minutes to encourage brushing for the dentist-recommended time. For older children, play a song from their favorite pop singer for two minutes.
-Making your child’s brushing routine fun will encourage proper habits early and help prevent oral care issues later in life.

I was asked to review a couple of the new Weight Watchers food products, and was excited to receive two coupons (one for a free frozen novelty item and another for a free cheese product) in my mailbox a few days later! They have some new items that are delicious...and better yet....are a healthier choice than many other similar products on the shelves today! I am not on the Weight Watchers diet plan myself, but still can appreciate the healthier options it offers! There are several new items out there, and I was fortunate enough to be able to try them!

After trying the Natural reduced fat Swiss Cheese Slices and the Giant Mint Ice Cream Sandwich I can tell you I would never have known that it was a "healthier" choice for me if I hadn't bought them myself. They were absolutely delicious and tasted so natural! Sometimes you buy foods that are supposed to be healthy and they taste bland, and well...healthy! Not these though! They were phenomenal!

The cheese slices are an excellent source of calcium and have a great taste. Each slice has a points value of 1 and about 45 calories. The ice cream sandwich allows for great dessert option with its rich, low-fat mint ice cream and two chocolate cookie wafers. There is 140 calories at a value of 2 points per sandwich. It's really a perfect snack for anyone...whether on the Weight Watchers diet or not.

If you're interested in learning more about them, head over to the Weight Watchers website. You can also check them out on Facebook!
