Why I Am A Review Blogger

I have always loved to write, and in my high school years I was told that I was quite good at it. I always had numerous pen pals and kept a daily diary of my life. Writing was always a way to express myself when I could not find the verbal way to say something...I could be heard without being misunderstood. When I was married, my husband introduced me to blogging. Being that I was now a married woman with relatives that lived a great distance away, blogging was a way to keep them in touch with me and my life happenings.

After having a personal blog for several years, a good friend of mine started to do reviews for companies. At first glance, I said that I would not have the time to do something like that...I was too busy being a wife and mother. Then, I began to realize that when I would look for information about a product, many of my sources would be blogs and many of these bloggers were in the same stage of life for me.
I say this because now I see the importance of blogging for the purpose of word of mouth advertising. Many companies work with bloggers because they see the result of the advertising that they got from those bloggers. Most companies that I contact regarding reviews are small and companies that I have never heard of. Once I get their product and review it, I write about them and get the word out. I especially love it when they tell me how wonderful my review is once it is written. My goal is to attract new customers to their company and get the word out about their products. Another way to let people know about companies is to direct them to their Facebook page. If their business facebook page design looks attractive then that especially helps to catch people's eyes.

So, those are some of the reasons that I conduct reviews and share them with you. My goal is to introduce new products, inform people of the pros and cons of that particular product and to meet new companies in the process.

The Pickle Juice Company Review & Giveaway

How many of you are super athletic and active during the summer months? I used to be...prior to having children and now, it seems I chase them all around so that counts as something, right? One concern that many athletes and active people have during the summer is hydration and the risk of dehydration, especially if you live in a hot/tropical climate. We life in NY state so we have four full seasons, our summers can be hot and humid and if you are active, that can be challenging. The other issue that many run into is having a sports drink that can replenish and refresh their system that is gluten free and healthy for them too. Food allergies can limit the choices when it comes to hydration drinks. So, today I am going to introduce you to The Pickle Juice Company . This company specializes in gluten-free sports drinks that will stop muscle cramps in their tracks and keep you hydrated and refreshed no matter what activities you are participating in this summer! Before I continue wi...

Softlips Review & Giveaway {CLOSED}

***GIVEAWAY CLOSED*** It is that time of year again...break out the chapstick! The winter will be here before we all know it (around here, anyway) and that means that the cold wind and dry air will be sapping all the moisture from my face. Right now, the weather is in the upper 40's (major bummer) and we are going to have a green Christmas, from what I can tell. Today I was out and about running some last minute Christmas errands and was so thankful for my Softlips chapstick I had in my car. While it is still mild out, my lips still need to be moisturized and I just LOVE the Softlips brand. If you are unfamiliar with Softlips , it is a product of Mentholatum which manufactures other brands such as Oxy, Fletchers, pHisoderm and several others as well. Softlips is also manufactured not far from my home...which is pretty neat too! Before I continue with my review, here is a short video of some gift ideas for this Holiday season...from Softlips! Personally, I wou...

Carmex Healing Lotion & Healing Cream Review & Giveaway {CLOSED}

***GIVEAWAY CLOSED*** Because I am a member of the Carmex Blog Squad , I am informed of and privileged to bring you reviews of Carmex's newest products! This is something that I have been doing for awhile and have really grown to love the Carmex brand. The newest products that have been introduced by Carmex are lovely and will definitely impress you as they have me. Because I am a mom, I wash my hands frequently. After diaper changes, before cleaning wounds, bathroom breaks, preparing food...all this requires clean hands. Because I usually apply lotion while I am moving and going from one thing to the next, I do not like a greasy lotion. I HATE applying a cream and having to "dry" my hands for the next half hour. What a perfectly good waste of time that is. So, I was wondering what Carmex would offer me in way of fast and quickly absorbing lotion. Before I continue, here is a bit more about Carmex for those of you who are new to their brand... Carmex® lip...
