Zep: Clean Like A Pro Zep #ZepCleansters


I admit, I have a few cleaning chores that I need to get caught up on. That is why I was excited that Crowdtap selected to participate in the Zep Cleansters Sample and Share Mission. I received samples of two different Zep products to sample and share. Since I cannot share my samples with everyone, I thought I would share them virtually in this post...



Zep Quick Clean Disinfectant and Zep All-Around Oxy Cleaner and Degreaser #ZepCleansters

My Experience Sampling Zep Cleaning Products:


I  used the Zep Quick Clean Disinfectant on my bathroom sink and the Zep All-Around Oxy Cleaner and Degreaser on my stove's hood.

For both, the instructions state I should spray the solution on, leave for one minute and wipe or rinse off. So that is what I did.

I normally reserve using commercial cleaning solutions for occasional deep cleaning. Those who have read my cleaning posts elsewhere may know I tend to use microfiber cloths, baking soda and vinegar for daily cleaning.  My stove hood needed something a little stronger as I am not sure when the last time I cleaned it was. Also. with cold and flu season (and a household member with a nasty cold),  I thought  the bathroom might need a little disinfectant.

I found cleaning a little easier than usual. The scent wasn't too over powering. And, yes I did feel like a "cleaning pro". I may consider using these products in the future for deep cleaning or disinfecting.

Review: Chapstick Dual Hydration #PutYourLipsFirst

My lips usually get very chapped during season changes as the weather transitions between Summer and nearly-constant rain (I live in the Northwest, USA). Thankfully, Chapstick Hydration Lock Moisture and Renew came to the rescue!

I received a free sample of Chapstick Hydration Lock Moisture and Renew through Smiley360.

Product Description from Chapstick:

New ChapStick® dual-ended Hydration Lock Moisturize & Renew with advanced anti-aging formulas, delivers advanced moisturizing benefits for fuller, smoother and younger looking lips, and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines. 


Moisture  End - Description and Ingredients:


Chapstick Moisturize Ingredients List

One one side is the “Moisturize” end which includes antioxidants and moisturizers. This formula is specially designed for long-lasting hydration to help "give lips a fuller and smoother appearance." Okay, I notice my lips feel soft and smooth when I use this, but I haven't noticed them looking "fuller". According Chapstick:
The Moisturize side includes antioxidant CoQ10 and Hyaluronic Spheres. This formula is specially designed for long-lasting hydration to help give lips a fuller and smoother appearance.

Renew End - Description and Ingredients:

On the other side is the Renew end which is made from natural butters such as Shea and Mango. The renew end softens and conditions lips.

My Experience With Chapstick Hydration Lock Moisture and Renew:

My lips usually get very chapped during season changes as the weather transitions between Summer and nearly-constant rain (I live in the Northwest). My new ChapStick® Dual-ended Hydration Lock Moisturize and Renew came just in time! My lips were a little chapped when the Moisture and Renew arrived and are not anymore. I think the packaging is very sleek and attractive and the product seems effective.

The balm fits neatly in a purse, I think it is a little longer than other balms I tried. My favorite thing about Hydration lock is it allows me to carry two lip balm products for ease of application and convenience.

I recommend this as an effective lip balm.  I enjoy the convenience of being able to carry two lip balm products in one.

Where to Purchase Chapstick Hydration Lock Moisture and Renew:
