Through my relationship with Pink Lemonade I frequently get the opportunity to participate in mega reviews (where a bunch of the contributors share their opinion of the same product).  This time we all got three canisters of the new limited edition (the images on the bottles are by artist, Anthony Yankovic) Dentyne gum.

I like the bottles compared to boxes or sticks of gum because they don’t get lost in my purse. In addition, they fit perfectly in the cup holder of my car.  The bottles come in the three standard flavors of Dentyne- spearmint, peppermint and my personal favorite, Arctic Chill.

My kids (who are tweens/teens) and knew who Anthony Yankovic was thought the artwork on the bottles was “cool” and made them want to share the bottles with their friends.  I guess I’m not that cool

**I participated in this mega review as a contributing writer to Pink Lemonade.  Dentyne provided me with three bottles of gum to facilitate my review.  All opinions expressed are mine (and my kids).

I like the convenience of these power paks.  You simply toss them in the washer when you put in the detergent.  They dissolve in the water (warm water works best).

I did find that I needed two packs per load to get the stains out but that just may be because my family of testosterone is really tough on clothes. They come 18 to a pack so that means that a bag would get me through about 9 loads of laundry (aka a week in this house).

You can also pre-soak your clothes with the Power Pak to remove tough stains.  The company recommends soaking for 1-6 hours, depending on the stain.

All in all, these little Oxi Clean power paks can stand up to my mountain of laundry.  Pretty impressive in my book.  This is a brand new product so watch your store shelves come mid February for your chance to purchase them.

What I like about Airwear ® lenses:

They are truly light weight.  They are up to 30% lighter than standard lenses and after almost three weeks of wearing them I have certainly noticed the difference.

They are thinner than standard lenses.  The Airwear ® literature says that these lenses are up to 25% thinner than standard plastic lenses.  This is another claim that held up. I have horrible vision and have always had thick lenses that protruded from any type of frame. These don’t! Honest!

You would think that being thinner and lighter, these lenses would not be as strong as standard lenses.  Wrong! These lenses are virtually unbreakable and 12x stronger than standard plastic lenses.  In addition, these lenses provide 100% UV protection against harmful UVA and UVB rays.

Airwear ® is concerned about the environment. This means that not only are the lenses lightweight and strong but they are also recyclable. They are manufactured using 100% recycled water as well.

Be sure to watch the video for my full review and check out Airwear’s website for more information.

Thank you to Mom Central and Airwear for this opportunity.

This is my first time participating in Fill in the Blank Friday, hosted by The Unexperienced Mom.  I decided to join in this week because I love the sentence we get to complete.

I blog because…

• I needed an outlet to vent and share when I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2008.
• I have grown attached to my online friends and love writing for them and reading what they write.
• I get lonely at home by myself most days.
• I loooove to write and have so much to say.
• I enjoy sharing my life with others (I’m an internet social butterfly)
• Blogging is a great platform for ministering to others.

There are probably a million more reasons that I just can’t think of right now.

Why do you blog?  Why don’t you blog?  Tell me!
