As we enter allergy season, and you know, the season where the temperature rises and drops over and over so we're all left all snotty and sneezy, let's embrace hand washing!  Lather, rinse, repeat kids.

I was given the opportunity to try the NEW Lysol^® Touch of Foam^™Antibacterial Hand Wash for free from Bzzagent*.  What's so great about hand wash?  Wellll let me tell you...

It kills 99.9% of germs.  This is a big deal, especially with a toddler in the house.  It seems kids are germ magnets, as if we didn't have enough to worry about with touching gas pumps, using public restrooms and grabbing those shopping cart handles.  Kids just seem to multiply the germ ratio by a million.  The non-drip lather makes hand washing even cleaner than ever with no messy drip from the bottle.  I have an automatic soap dispenser in one of my bathrooms.  While it makes me feel like I'm living in the space age, it leaks and it makes me sad to clean up soap.  So redundant!  But I digress...

Lysol^® Touch of Foam^™Antibacterial Hand Wash smells heavenly.  The scent I received is Creamy Vanilla Orchid.  It's not a light scent, and while it's not overpowering it will make the room smell delicious for a few minutes.  Who needs a candle??  ;)

It's not harsh either!  Somehow the foaminess and moisturizer-enriched micro-bubbles leave your hands feeling soft after every wash instead of dried out and old lady-ish.  Yes, I made that up.  You know what I'm talking about though.

Again I say, no more leaky sticky soap bottles.  Antimicrobial properties are built in to protect the pump and resist odor-causing bacteria.  Genius!

This is all so important because health at home and in public begins with hand washing.  We all know it so let's all make a pact as a community to wash those hands!  Pump the soap, sing happy birthday a couple times and rinse.  Teach your kids to do the same.  For you, for me, for the greater good.  Check out Lysol's Mission for Health to see how they are spreading the word and the habit of hand washing around the world.

LOVING my Garnier Fructis Hydra Recharge hair products.  After a very dry winter my hair was definitely looking pretty rough.  Now that I've been using Hydra Recharge in the shower I can tell a definite difference in how my hair looks and feels.  Helloooo soft and shiny.

**This is another great free sample from Bzzagent.  Check out bzzagent.com.

The breakdown:

The shampoo has these awesome little scrubby beads for a deep hydrating clean.  So innovative and it feels so yummy on your head.  Smells great too.

The conditioner is infused with super fruits.  (Goji berry, passion fruit and kiwi to be exact.)  I know what you are thinking, but no, you should not eat it.  ;)  What you should do is rub it all up in your hair for a lasting weightless shine.

Last is the 1 Minute Moisture-Plenish Treatment.  OMG  I have to tell myself to use the only a few times a week.  Honestly, it makes your hair sooo soft and shiny without weighing it down.  I dare you to grab my hair - so. so. soft.

Go - try it now!!!
