Tide 2 Go

Everyone should purchase the Tide 2 Go pen and carry one with you at all times. We only have one at the house and it’s always going missing. Now it’s in the kitchen and thankfully I remembered where it was because during lunch one day last week I was eating Kraft Dinner for lunch (lol) and laid the bowl on my lap while Alfie was probably getting in trouble. I lifted the bowl up and there’s this huge orange cheesy stain at the very bottom of my capri’s.


I swore a couple of times, because these capri’s from Mexx are almost like jean material and apparently you can’t bleach them. I only remembered that though, when I was already applying the Tide 2 Go pen. But it was okay – my shorts didn’t turn purple and it got the stain out immediately.

I went on the Tide website and read some reviews of people who actually disliked the product, and were pretty strong with their opinions.

1 out of 5 stars

“WHAT A JOKE, wish i never used it. had a brand new white dress that i got mascara on and i bought the tide pen on my way out. used it and now there is a HUGE yellow stain on my brand new white dress. washed my dress and the stain is very visible. so disgusted with this product…WHAT A JOKE”
– teetee, buffalo

I don’t think anything would take mascara out!?

“Twice now when using Tide To Go on a ketchup stain on white material has ended up causing a bigger yellow stain on the material. The yellow stain will NOT come out not even with a bleach stick. Think twice before using the Tide To Go….which is worse the ketchup stain or a yellow spot. I wish I would have left my brand new shirt alone and kept the ketchup stain.”

Good to know. Would have thought it would definitely taken out the ketchup. I need a book on stains. I don’t know how to remove any stains. Bike splatters from the mud on a shirt? No idea. Grass stains on white shorts from soccer? Lets hope the detergent I use is strong enough. Seriously, I need help.

But wait a sec. This person said that their ketchup stain was out in a jiffy. Who to believe?

“I was on my way to tae kwon do with my family and I had just eaten a hamburger. Let’s just say I was starving. The ketchup spilled on my shirt and I hadn’t noticed until just before we walked into the building. Having a uniform it has to be presentable at all times. My mother had tide to go in the car and we used it. sure enough it cleaned it off quick and dried within a minute. It saved me from five hundred push ups that night ^_^”

Have you ever tried the Tide 2 Go pen? If you have had you had success or disaster? I think I’m seriously going to e-mail the company and tell them how much I love that product of theirs. Maybe they’ll send me coupons!

Curling Iron version 2

I did a review on a curling iron not too long ago, and also not having a clue what I was doing with my hair.

Since I’m addicted to watching makeup guru’s on YouTube like TiffanyD, conveniently enough she posted a video on how to curl your hair with the same size iron that I received in the mail.

This is the outcome of my crazy ‘do. Of course it could be better. I didn’t go out in public like this or anything. But it’s a start!! YAY!!! Don’t light a match around this head of hair. Soo much product :)

Isn’t it crazy how the first time I used this curling iron, my curls looked like this? What a difference!

I can’t wait for my hair to get a lot longer, so my curls doesn’t look like I have a ‘bob’ styled hair cut. Long lush locks is what I need!

Hey. Stay tuned for tomorrow’s post – another giveaway is coming up and it involves one of my favorite stores. Hint hint.

Healthy carbonation (v2)

On April 9 I posted my Zevia review after only trying 4 of the 7 flavors. I finally had a chance to taste the rest of them.

Dr. Zevia. I remember trying out Dr. Pepper as a kid, and not exactly liking it. I never did buy it again. I was hesitant on trying this one after I thought the Black Cherry one wasn’t to my liking. But I was surprised I actually liked this one — a lot! Much more so than the Zevia’s Black Cherry flavor. I can’t really tell you if it tastes like Dr. Pepper or not, because quite frankly I couldn’t begin to tell you what it tastes like. I’d presume it mimics the taste. But you’ll have to try this one out on your own. Yummers.

Black Cherry. Thankfully I only received two of these cans, because I’m not sure that I could finish off four of them by myself. I’m not a HUGE fan of this flavor, but I would drink it all if it was given to me over the Orange/Ginger Ale flavor. If Kelly was living around me, I’d give her my last one, as Kelly mentioned once before that Black Cherry is her favorite Zevia flavor.

Ginger Ale. I’m picky when it comes to my Ginger Ale. Schewpps all the way for sure. Can’t say I’ll be drinking this flavor again. I think I may end up giving the last 3 to my co-workers. Wish I had less Ginger Ale and more Lemon Lime Twist. Oh that stuff’s goooooood.

Orange. It was light tasting and delicious at first, though I couldn’t finish all of it. I admit though I drank more than 3/4’s of the orange pop. The boyfriend ended up finishing it for me. It left a not so nice aftertaste in my mouth.

After my review I e-mailed the company telling them it was posted live, and ask when/if Zevia will be coming available in Canada. I was then forwarded onto a friendly guy who asked what city I reside in, and what health food stores were around me. He’s currently working on bringing Zevia to Fiddleheads in Kitchener in case any of my local readers are interested in trying this stuff out. Isn’t that terrific news? I’m so thrilled that they listened to my one single request! Awesome customer service on their part hey?

What flavor are you most interested in tasting?

My favorite still is the cola flavor, along with a close second: ginger root beer. Mmm :)

Ginger root beer and I had a photo shoot earlier this week! Ain’t she purdy?
