Clean like a Pro Zep @Crowdtap Sampling #Sponsored #TryZep #ZepCleansters

Disclosure: I was recently chosen to participate in a Zep event through Crowdtap. I received complimentary products and promotional gifts in exchange for my honest opinion.
I like my house neat and tidy.  I am always up for anything that is going to help me clean faster and more efficiently.  There are so many products out there it is hard to know what really works. Zep is a professional style line of cleaners that is now available for the consumer at home like you and me.


I am thrilled to have commercial quality cleaners that can help me get the job done faster and more efficiently. Who wouldn't be? 

Crowdtap and Zep sent me several sample sizes of their products to check them out.

I received 5 sample sizes of Zep products including:
  • Zep Quick Clean Disinfectant
  • Zep All-Around Oxy Cleaner and Degreaser
I was excited to share my sample sizes of Zep with friends and family. It is fun to get the word out about a new product when I find it works out well for me.


Zep is available in lots of the local stores now so everyone can try it and then go out and buy it locally which is wonderful. It is important with flu season out there to make sure you are using a good quick clean disinfectant cleaner like Zep. 



Zep Quick Clean Disinfectant does the job professionally.  You can feel confident you are keeping your house as clean as possible. Don't forget to do like we do though and wash your hands as soon as you walk in your home. Pair that with Zep and you are doing a super thing for your whole family.

I am totally ready to clean like a pro with Zep, how about you? It's time to fight germs and messes this flu season with two of Zep's newest cleaning secret weapons, Zep Quick Clean Disinfectant AND the Zep All-Around Oxy Cleaner and Degreaser.

When I find something good whether it is an idea, a recipe jack or who know what I have to share the goodies.  I am working with them until December as part of Campbell’s Tasters on Crowdtap. I get to try different recipes with a new variety of Campbell’s® Soups for Easy Cooking, and even get to use a new flavor of Skillet Sauce. It is a real adventure!

Here's what I received:
  • A variety of new Campbell’s® products including Soups for Easy Cooking, Campbell’s® Latin Inspired Soups, Campbell’s® Skillet Sauces, Prego® Alfredo sauce, and Swanson Cream Starter™ Broths

I decided to make a quick dinner the other night using the Campbell's Soups for Easy Cooking in Savory Portobello Mushroom. I made a yummy fast risotto with leftover spinach, frozen peas and some fresh mushrooms.  


It came out delicious.  I added some cooked chicken and the little one took the leftovers to lunch today.  Everyone lived it and it was fast and easy thanks to Campbell's!

Packing is a chore that no one loves but the thought of a vacation gets you to do it just like me. There are tools which can make it easier and actually even more fun.

There are so many benefits to using these Dot Dot Travel Packing Cubes. Think about how your packing can be easier and more productive each time your travel. These have a see-through mesh panel in them. Dot Dot Travel travel packing organizers allow you to easily find what you need. Consider this too...you can maintain your privacy a little more while going through security in the airport.  Here is a perfect place to store all your fem care products without them flying all over the place if a TSA agent has to inspect your luggage. He or she can see what is in there and allow you to potentially keep your dignity.

Think how you can save time ironing your clothes at the hotel. The packing cube set will help minimize wrinkles on your clothes.  Everything stays neatly folded and tidy inside the zippered cube.  You are truly able to maximize your luggage space so you can squeeze in more of your stuff.  We all need to get as much as we can in smaller piece bags to save fees on checked luggage. Traveling with the entire family? Consider packing and unpacking easy by assigning a color coded cube per person or for specific purposes like gym clothes, formal wear, shorts and such.
Boy, these packing organizers really have saved me time packing and unpacking by allowing me to unpack only what I need. I travel alot on business and this makes my task so much easier and I feel more organized when traveling. When I feel organized it reduces my stress so ultimately I feel so much happier.  These travel packing cubes fit on perfectly in all of my luggage pieces including my duffel bags, suitcases, backpacks, and even slim bags on on their own.  You can buy these Dot Dot Travel packing organizers in different sizes right on Amazon for the ultimate in convenience.

Dot and Dot Travel Muti Purpose Bags Review #organizers


Packing is a chore that no one loves but the thought of a vacation gets you to do it just like me. Boy it is much harder for those endless business trips. Either way I have to remain organized and up to now the options were either very expensive or limited in the ability to really do the job right. Dot Dot Travel just created some great little (and big!) travel organizers which can make traveling easier and actually even more fun. Dot Dot Travel has created these organizers in  X-Small, Small, Medium, or Large to fit your every travel and organizing need. Here are the different sizes:

  • X-Small - 7.5 x 3.5 x 1 in
  • Small - 8 x 6 x 1 in
  • Medium - 10 x 8 x 1 in
  • Large - 14 x 10 x 1 in
  • Waterproof mesh allows you to easily contents while protecting the contents from dirt or other elements
  • Easily open and close the zipper using the heavy duty zipper puller. Each bag includes a clip to securely attach your bag to handles.
  • These multipurpose bags can be used as travel packing bags, for the office, in school, at home and more.

These bags are a great way to help clear that clutter out of your life. I like that it frees me from clutter and reduces my stress.  These are even perfect for organizing your stuff at home, school, office and of course even while traveling on business or for pleasure.

Dot Dot Travel handy mult-purpose bags help me find my stuff in a flash.  I know I can easily identify the contents of any of the bags with the see-through mesh.  I think these would be great to save anyone from embarrassment during airport security checks. Think about if you were storing personal stuff in there like your fem care supplies for example. It makes me feel more relaxed to know where everything is in my bags. These really let me store more and organize more. They are totally unlike other flat organizers.  Dot and Dot travel accessories organizer is exactly 1" deep, allowing me to place more of my belongings in there.

Dot and Dot Multi-Purpose Bags protect all of my stuff too. See-through waterproof mesh protects all of my belongings from accidental spills and dirt transfer.  I truly believe these are the only packing bags that I will ever need.  I can clearly see that these are made of high quality materials. Dot and Dot organizers really seem like they are built to last for a lifetime of travel and adventure.  I learned a long time ago sometimes it just doesn't pay to go really cheap when you are contemplating different purchases. You might save a few $$ in the beginning but when they break after a few uses you are back to where you started. Save your money from low quality organizers that just don't work or get damaged after few uses. Pick up these great Dot and Dot travel organizers and multi-purpose bags right on Amazon for the ultimate in shopping convenience.

Anti-Gas & Anti-Bloating Digestive Aid Fast Acting PillsReview #DGASNature



Let's face it, even if you are healthy and fit and eat a clean diet, GI upset can occur. I travel frequently on business and I have experienced problems from time to time eating at hotels or restaurants or even the dreaded corporate meeting buffet. It is never convenient or comfortable.  D-Gas is an effective, all natural, anti gas product that works fast to help relief gas, bloating, and abdominal discomfort.  D-Gas anti-gas capsules are also highly effective at gas relief and relieving bloating after meals or whenever you have abdominal gas or bloating.  I just used them again last night after eating a meal from a popular quick serve restaurant....a caterer at an event I attended used them. I have to say that healthy Sierra Turkey Sandwich was sitting like a rock in my gut. D-Gas helped me feel so much better and fast.

If you have a meal that you know might be problematic, you can take D-Gas with meals. D-Gas can prevent gas and bloating before it begins which is a huge comfort.  It actually helps make foods easier to digest so they don’t cause gas. D-gas helps to naturally prevent gas from a variety of foods including beans, vegetables, whole grains and other healthy foods.


D-Gas is made using 100% vegetarian capsules which makes them suitable for anyone and even for people who want to avoid gelatin.   D-Gas uses a proprietary blend of natural gas relieving ingredients that really work fast at relieving symptoms of gas, bloating and discomfort.   D-Gas can be taken daily as a natural digestive aid, anti-gas aid, and as an antioxidant.  It is fast acting and drug-free.  You can see the ingredients below for yourself. You can actually smell the fresh ingredients when you open the bottle. They smell good not like chemicals or anything.

I really like that they are not shy about sharing that D-Gas is proudly made in the USA. I always like to support small businesses that have products that are created here in the USA. I am sure you do too. I feel more confident in the quality and efficacy especially when it comes to my health.
  • Natural Gas Relief & Prevention
  • Helps Prevent & Relieve Bloating, Discomfort and Flatulence
  • Fast Acting and Effective. 
  • All Natural -No artificial color, flavor or sweetener, no sugar, no preservatives, no soy, no lactose, no gluten, no salt

You can find D-Gas gas relief and prevention on Amazon for ease and convenience.

Salad to Go Container from Ramini Brands Perfect for greens, grains or parfaits on the go Review #saladtogo






I found a healthy lunch solution recently.  Finally, NO more soggy salads, fruits and veggies. A green way to tote my meals on the go. You know I am always on the go with my crazy job and work schedule. I have to plan ahead and have a healthy meal ready. I have tried it all and it has never really worked too well until now. Salad to Go from Ramini Brands has done it. The easy salad container helps keep salad or fruits fresh, cool and crisp. It an easy grab and ergonomic design. Also, has a 2 ounce container that holds dressing, dips, yogurt, granola and more!




I would take a salad from time to time but sometimes it would spill or make a mess and then I would get annoyed. All that yucky cleanup. The worst is when it would spill in the car and that dressing all over. Nothing ickier. This is a revolution for me. It allows me to take along my salad and salad dressing all in one container (but in two different compartments, that's the secret trick to keeping it all fresh). I can take it anywhere so I can eat it anytime I am hungry with no mess or spilling to worry about. That is wonderful for me as a busy mama that likes to eat healthy.  I can use this for grain and green salads or yogurt and granola. The kids love this one for school too....it makes healthy eating fun. 





Salad-to-Go is the no mess-no fuss way to enjoy a fresh Crispy Salad on the go anytime, anywhere. I don't ever have to worry about a soggy salad anymore.  The size is perfect to...just enough to fill you up and keep you going all day. It works for me at 7 inches tall and 3.5 inches across. Fits most lunch bags including the ones that I have in my home.




The best part is you get not one but 2 containers when you buy your Salad to Go Containers on Amazon. Yup...it comes in a set of 2 Salad to Go Containers with dressing cup and spork.  I think it is a fork though because a spork is a combination of a fork and a spoon. This one is definitely a fork but it works for me.

Puffs SoftPack Tissues are totally indespensable in my home and in my purse. This is a total necessity.  This is one strong tissue too.  Outside, its flexible design holds up better than an ordinary tissue box. It is really cool. Perfect for the car! Inside, it’s the soft Puffs tissues you love from the only national brand dermatologist tested to be gentle. My kid was so happy she trotted it right out to the car after feeling a tissue!


Resource Natural Spring Water  is the most refreshing and healthy drink you can consider. I drink a ton of water and I gave to say this brand tastes fresh and light.  I love the large size bottle.  You can even get it delivered through their website. Easy! Resource is going on my shopping list!


My hair is the bane of my existence some days. Between the monthly color and the 2X a year keratin and the highlights in between it takes a beating.  I was happy to see Hair Food. If your hair gets dry than this is the perfect solution. Hair Food Moisture Hair Mask really makes a difference. I love the honey apricot fragrance too.  Brings the shine and softness back to my hair. 



Winter is coming and that means a nice glass of hot cocoa. What tastes more yummy than a warm cup of Swiss Miss Simply Cocoa? Not much I think. Swiss Miss Simply Cocoa has a new option for peeps like me that try to eat clean but love a little treat here and there. Five simple ingredients and no artificial flavors, colors or preservatives. Oh, and it still tastes scrumptious. 



Jergens Ultra Healing Extra Dry Skin Moisturizer is just what I needed for my fall dry skin solution. This cream actually locks in the moisture for up to 48 hours.  Enjoy the soft hands and pay the kids a buck to wash the dishes and spare your hands.  Put some of this Jergens on and read a book!
