The Many Uses of Ivory

I received a full size bar of Ivory soap from Influenster and I smiled.  The smell of it takes me back to my childhood.  I remember watching reruns of the Andy Griffin show, eating fried peach pies and chasing fireflies at night with my cousins.  I remember my Granny yelling at me because I would steal the strawberries out of her garden and throwing peas at the neighborhood kids.  I also remember taking a bath every night with Ivory soap and the smell of the towels that she wrapped up in when we were done.

I used the Ivory soap as a face wash and for bathing for myself and my niece and nephew.  I loved that it left our skin clean without that tight, dry feeling you can get with some soaps.  I felt squeaky clean and I LOVE that feeling!  After a week of use my skin was softer and more moisturized.  Those are very good things especially in the south's harsh summer heat.


Ivory bar soap is 99.4% pure which makes it gentle enough for even babies sensitive skin.  It has a multitude of uses such as laundry, craft projects, clothing spot treatment and of course face and body cleaning.  It is available in bar, body wash and liquid hand soap forms so you can chose your preference.  This product is one of the most cost effective soaps on the market and with all the ways you can use it you are sure to get the most bang for your buck.  You can get a 10 pack for around $4.49 and it is available at most retailers such as Wal-Mart, Target and CVS.

imPRESS Press On Manicure

I had never heard of Broadway imPress Nails until I received them in my Mom Voxbox from Influenster.  I am not a big person on keeping my nails done as I am a nurse and we can not wear artificial nails on the floors that I have worked on.  I usually just let my nails grow and keep them clean and trimmed.


I will say that trying these nails was fun and I was extremely impressed with the nails.  I received the solid color Velvet Rope to try.  They were very easy to apply and lasted a long time.  I actually wore mine for a little over a week and did not have a problem.  I type a lot for work and they stood up to that as well as my normal day to day activities.


I do have some suggestions for applying the nails to make the process go quicker.  I suggest you trim your nails and file them before you start to apply the nails.  I also suggest that you compare the nails and select the appropriate nail size for each of your nails and lay them out in order.  Then the application is very easy, you just peel and apply them to your own nail.  I suggest that you hold the nail in place and press firmly for 25-30 seconds before moving on to the next one.  These are not requirements but they will help make them last a little longer.


The price for these nails is very reasonable.  They run about $5.99 for solid colors & about $7.99 for different designs.  They come with various sizes in each kit and are available at multiple locations such as CVS, Target, Wal-Mart, Walgreens & Meijer.  You can find a full list of retailer at the imPress Nails site.


I definetely will try these again as they were very easy to use and lasted great.
