This curious-looking gadget pictured above is Soft Scrub 4-in-1 Toilet Care, and you don’t have to worry about deodorizing properties because right away, you smell the pleasant odor of Sapphire Waters escaping through the packaging. This new bathroom cleaning product attaches to your toilet bowl with the help of a convenient rim hanger. The plastic cage keeps the product in place – allowing water to activate the cleaner with each flush.

Not only does this product freshen for up to 4 weeks, but it also keeps toilets clean, prevents future buildup, and fights nasty toilet rings…and oh how I hate to see ring-around-the-toilet.

It’s easy to use your Soft Scrub 4-in-1 Toilet Care. Simply unfold the hanger and place it onto the rim of your toilet bowl. You may need to adjust the hanger to greet the flow of water when the toilet is flushed. The first time I flushed, I watched the water fill into the four separate balls, and leave behind reassuring bubbles of clean. The product definitely adds a fresher scent to the toilet bowl. You know it’s time to replace the product when there is nothing left in the cage.

Sapphire Waters Soft Scrub toilet bowl cleaner is made without bleach, but you can purchase Alpine Fresh if you would like a fragrance made with bleach. This product is sold at Walmart.

Disclosure: The Soft Scrub brand provided me with a sample and coupons to give away for their toilet cleaner so that I could share my honest opinions about the product. This review is 100% my own thoughts.

I almost didn’t purchase Thomas’ Banana Bread English Muffins because the outside of the bread looked a little burnt, but it’s something that appears on all the muffins, so I think it’s just because the overall bread is a bit darker. To me, there isn’t an overwhelming banana bread flavor to the muffins, but I think I was expecting something a little banana-nuttier.

However, the English muffins still offer a pleasant enough flavor to add a little something different to the breakfast table. There are very small pockets of mashed banana in the English muffins. Is it something I would pay nearly $3 for again…me…no…but it was nice to give it a try to satisfy my curiosity. I will say the rest of my family really enjoyed the muffins, and would buy again. I think I should just sit down and make banana nut bread next time I have a craving.

I’m a huge fan of Peeps, and I rarely stray from the usual original favor, but who could resist a bubble gum-flavored package of Peeps? My first impression was that they didn’t live up to my expectations, but the second, third and fourth Peeps proved that it’s an acquired taste…fun for the moment, but not something I would purchase again. For those of you interested in hunting down these Peeps, I purchased these at Five Below.

Update: I wound up purchasing more a couple days later.

One of my favorite things is cotton candy. I just love the light and airy, melt-in-your-mouth sensation of sweetness…. but this one is a disappointment. I think if you are going to name something ‘cupcake cotton candy,’ then it should very well taste like cupcakes. If not, label the container clearly to state that it is regular-ol’ cherry flavor. My taste buds are livid.

Reader’s Digest points out that in the past, there was such a thing as GM pigs (actually dubbed ‘frankenswine’) that were created, but later killed off when funding for the project ran dry. And….let’s not talk about all the scary ‘experiments’ that haven’t hit the headlines. However, the concept of genetically modified animals is gaining steam, and the closest project to reach our tables might be the AquAdvantage salmon – genetically engineered fish created to reach maturity in half the time of their nature predecessors.

If approved under the FDA-required New Animal Drug Application (NADA), this salmon will become the first genetically modified animal in our food supply, and we all know – when something like this squeezes past FDA-approval, there’s no telling what is next to cross the line.

Ooowee – Glade hit the mark with their Somethin’ Sweet Grade fragrance mist that promises the scent of ‘soft and fluffy cotton candy with a twist of fruit.’ As part of the County Fair Collection, this selection delivers as promised – a sweet, fruity whiff that I really love. Purchased at Walmart, I’m looking forward to scouting out the other fragrances under this collection. Yum!

I don’t want to shout out the company because I did win a giveaway hosted by them, and they don’t have to offer such giveaways, BUT whoever was in charge in the shipping or gift fulfillment department needs to rethink the way they send out their gift cards. This is one very large box for such a very small item – complete with craft paper to protect the gift card from…um…breaking? I would have been perfectly happy with a simple envelope containing my gift card. Yikes…somewhere Mother Earth is cringing.

But first….

I bought this adorable garden figurine (for 69 cents at Rite Aid – 50% sale + Register Rewards) to sneak into my parent’s front yard landscaping to see how long it would take them to notice, but now I don’t want to part with it. So, it’s been decorating my work desk for weeks now, and I seriously doubt this little guy is leaving his current location.
