My 2¢ On The Olay Massage Soap Bar

So as I stated before I have had my eye on this bar for some time now. I think I may have been so caught up that I somehow forgot  I didn't have a spare arm in my shower that scrubbed my back for me. The whole point I wanted this for was to see if it would add a nice touch to the boring routine of washing my back. Um duh I do not have a mutant arm that reaches my back. The whole magical wonder over this little bar had came to an abrupt end...
Sometimes I amaze my own self.
 Genius I tell ya!
So to say the least I was a lotta little disappointed.

I say only a little because of the following reason.
  • The smell of Luscious Embrace is out of this world 
  • It leaves your skin soft and smooth
  • The massage does feel kinda nice on achy legs
  • Did I mention it smells of amazing things?
I highly suggest you try this stuff out. I wouldn't sell you so much on the bar, unless you prefer bar soap. But the smell and effectiveness of the body wash/soap overall is amazing.

While I'm here thought I would share my shower caddy idea for the stand up shower.  I could never seem to reach my stuff when it was hung on the shower head. It would never fail that I would get a face full of water and be searching for what I need blind.
So my thinking cap went on and the above idea happened.
 I used 2 strong ties  and tightened that bad boy 
to the towel rack in the shower.
 It works out great! 
I have everything I need right by my side.

Quick question for those of you with stand-up showers? 

I had to clean mine out tonight. Eek! That always gets me to wondering if someone out there has a brilliant way to go about this. It is next to impossible to clean it out without literally getting in.
This leads me to ask:

What have you found to be the easiest way to clean your stand-up shower?

I wouldn't want to entail that AM and Mr.NBA want to smell like a luscious embrace or a soothing cucumber. Anyway what really sold me on the body wash was they all had free body bars with the massaging design. So I got a bonus of 6 bars which cost $7.49 in store. Score!

Enter to Win a 2013 Dodge Dart R/T

Enter Now




Dodge Dart Giveaway

 Enter to win the all-new 2013 Dodge Dart. 

This sweepstakes is intended for those over the age of 18.

I WON A CAR PLAYING ONLINE GAMES - PROOF IT REALLY CAN HAPPEN!


 So part of the reason I choose to create more of an open blog 
is because there are so many other things I want to be able 
share with you all other then just coupon deals. 

One of those things is Instant Win Games and Online Contest.

THE REASON?

I WON A CAR AND SO CAN YOU!!!

My Story

One gloomy spring day I received a document via Fed-ex.
I was a little confused on what it may be so I opened it up to investigate.
There was a letter and a small army of carbon-copy documents. 
I read the letter and literally laughed it off. 

I WON A CAR? 

How many time have we all received bogus offers in the mail? 

 I showed it to AM and he was a little more of a believer.
He quickly pointed out it said "an online sweepstake".
Good point he had and it got me to thinking. 
HAD I PLAYED THAT GAME?
 Nothing rang a bell as I had played tons of online games.
I figured the easiest way to get to the bottom line was check online.
I went to the computer and pulled up the online sweepstakes archive.
 I searched and SURE ENOUGH there it was.
At that moment I started to lose my heart into my stomach. 
BUT even though I seen the proof online I still COULD NOT BELEVE IT. 
I don't know what it was, or maybe I do. 
THINGS LIKE THIS JUST DON'T HAPPEN RIGHT?

It had been 2 days and I was still trying to gather the courage to call
I swear I had nightmares of mean people laughing at my expense for being a believer.
I  really did not want to be the idiot on the other end of the line that fell for their cruel bait.

Anyhow I finally gathered the courage to call...
It rang a few times and I was sent to voice mail. 
The sweet sounding lady on the voice mails name matched the name that signed the document. 
I was gaining a little more faith. I left a message asking if she could please call me back.

I WILL NEVER FORGET THE CALL...
I received the call as I was waiting for AM to get out of class at the college.
 I stepped out the car when I seen the number on the screen.
 I really needed air!
 I was so nervous to even talk with her.
I was still in such complete denial that this was happening.
I answered, we greeted eachother and then IT CAME...
"CONGRATULATIONS, HOW EXCITING!". 
My exact response "SO THIS IS REAL???"
She of course laughed and proceeded to explain just how real it was.
I was litterally shaking at this point and don't remember much of the rest of our conversation.
 I just remember telling her I would get the documents out ASAP. 

AM was walking up as I was hitting my emotional point.
I fell into chest and balled my face off. 
balling went on for awhile...
A long while...
  How about we just move forward from my emotional being?
 I returned all paperwork and waited...
and waited...
Then after a month I was all checked out and had a voucher to obtain ANY
 DODGE CHALLENGER SRT-8
of my choice up-to a $50,000 Value

And that is exactly what I did!!!

Winning that car literally changed my life.
 I will explain over time the many great things that came out of this.

I want you to know it happens.

Good Luck to Everyone!

Now
 LET THE PLAYING BEGIN!
