Review: Smiley Cookies
I was given the opportunity to review 12 delicious Smiley Cookies....and do believe me - there is nothing left of them! :)
The Smiley Cookies are free of trans fats, they are kosher, and they are made in a nut-free facility. Remaining fresh for a minimum of a week in a closed container, these cookies make a great gift for any occasion. On the Smiley Cookie website, you can find a variety of cookie styles - flowers, colorful smileys, heart shaped cookies, 12-inch cookies, and more.
I was given the opportunity to try the Holiday cookies - a mix of 6 gingerbread and 6 sugar cookies. They arrived in a cute smiley box that I will definitely be keeping to reuse as a gift box or keepsake box.
When I opened the plastic container to try the cookies, I was surprised at how soft they were! I have never much cared for the flavor of gingerbread but as I tried one of the gingerbread Smiley Cookies, I was surprised! It had a light gingerbread flavor - enough to get a good taste but not overbearing like some cookies I had tried before. When I bit into a sugar cookie, I was instantly in love. The cookies had smooth texture and were not messy to eat.
If you are interested in purchasing the same holiday cookie package as I reviewed, visit the Smiley Cookie website. Be sure to 'like' the Smiley Cookie Facebook page to get a 20% off coupon!

Review: Prefense Hand Sanitizer
As a new mother, I am always looking for ways to eliminate chemicals while also eliminating germs. When I found out I was going to be reviewing a sample of Prefense hand sanitizer, needless to say, I was pretty excited! Prefense hand sanitizer is a silica based hand sanitizer. The ingredients list is pretty short, which is always a good sign. The main ingredient is Amosilq (silica) and the inactive ingredients are water, cocamidopropyl
betaine, essential oil fragrance and citric acid. Pretty simple, right?
As a mom who is constantly washing my hands when I am around my 5 month old, I tend to get dry hands. Every time you wash with soap and warm water or use an alcohol based hand sanitizer, you are pulling
essential oils from your skin. The Prefense hand sanitizer has NO alcohol and has natural oils, preventing the dry hands you otherwise would get.
Each spray lasts “all day” according to the Prefense website and my sample size 1.5 oz bottle contains 120 applications. Prefense estimates that this will only cost you $0.08 per day to protect yourself against germs such as staph, strep, E.coli and MRSA.
When sampling my Prefense hand sanitizer, I was surprised that there wasn’t a strong smell like so many other hand sanitizers have. On the contrary, I could hardly smell it! There is a light “citrus breeze” scent but it was not overbearing and will not scare my son away when he is older and starts using hand sanitizer. The hand sanitizer was very easy to apply - it comes out as a foam instead of a glob like others I have used in the past. The foam spreads easily when you rub your hands together, giving an even spread of sanitizer on your hands.
I will definitely be keeping this in my purse to keep with me especially throughout winter with all of the flu germs floating around!

Review: The Slice Safety Cutter
The Slice Safety Cutter is a small versatile cutter with a tiny ceramic blade near the tip. I was sent one to review, so naturally, as a coupon clipper, I tested the Safety Cutter by cutting coupons with it. The Slice Safety Cutter sells for $5.99 on the Slice Product website.
The Safety Cutter specifications as listed on the Slice website:- -Ceramic blade lasts longer than steel
- Stays sharp and never rusts
- Built-in magnet and key-ring hole
- Rubberized non-slip finish
- Finger-Friendly™ Design
- For left- and right-handers
Personal Review:
The Safety Cutter is small and very easy to store whether in a coupon binder, your pocket or stuck to the fridge with the internal magnet. The Safety Cutter is the size of just one handle of the scissors I usually keep in my coupon binder.
At a glance, I almost could not find the blade. The ceramic blade is so tiny and barely sticks out of the plastic. With an infant in the house, this is great. I can shove the blade against my finger and it does not poke through. However, if I hold it down and slide it across my skin, it will probably slice my skin but not very deep (I’m not testing that though!)
The specifications list that the cutter has a rubberized non-slip finish. It does feel slightly rubberized but not as much as some things that I have used. When cutting coupons, I did not experience any slipping.
After cutting a few coupons, I noticed that no matter whether it was on computer paper or it was magazine paper or newspaper, there was a jagged edge where the Safety Cutter cut. To cut tape or plastic to open a package, this cutter would be great, but it is not my choice for coupon clipping.
One of the specifications is that it is useable for left or right handers. Being left handed, I know that most scissors and cutters do fit that description so that does not strike me as impressive.
I will be continuing to use my scissors exclusively for coupon clipping, but this cutter will still be useful around the house and easily storable by sticking it to the fridge with its magnetization.
