Lysol Touch of Foam

 
I am surrounded by preschool age kids in my job.   Runny noses, sneezing, coughing, everything in the mouth, diaper changing, potty training... you get the idea.  Germs everywhere!!  I wash my hands hundreds of times a day.  I had not tried foam soaps prior to Bzz Agent sending me Lysol Touch of Foam to review.  I was not sure what to expect.


Basic highlights about Lysol Touch of Foam
  • Rich non-drip lather works on contact to kill 99.9% of germs
  • Offers 10x more germ protection than the leading national competitor
  • Moisturizer-enriched micro-bubbles leave your hands feeling soft and comfortable after every wash
  • Available in three great scents — Creamy Vanilla Orchid, Rose & Cherry in Bloom and Wild Berry Bliss
  • Antimicrobial properties are built in to protect the pump and resist odor-causing bacteria

What I liked:
  • Liquid that turns into a thick, rich foam.  No drips, no mess!
  • One pump is plenty to thoroughly clean my hands from the dirtiest mess.
  • You use less so you save money.
  • I received the Creamy Vanilla Orchid and it smells amazing!   
  • It is gentle on my hands.
Lysol(R) Touch of Foam(TM) Antibacterial Hand Wash
 
After trying out this product for a couple of weeks I am in love with it.  It will be a staple in my house and classroom from now on. The price is right.  It is available for under $3.00 in most locations. And the scents are as nice as you will get at the pricey bath stores.

Healthy Hands matter to Lysol:
That’s why Lysol® started their Mission for Health. With new mom programs, healthy habits initiatives in schools and disaster relief efforts, the company is dedicated to doing more for everyone’s health. The mission is fueled by passion and backed by their expertise in killing germs. So when you use Lysol® at home, you’ll know you’re a part of something bigger.

Green Mountain Coffee Wellness Collection Review

 Green Mountain Coffee(R) Wellness Collection
I take my coffee seriously!!   I rarely get up until I hear the beep of our  Grind and Brew coffee machine letting me know it is ready.  I drink my coffee black and love a nice smooth medium blend.  When Bzz Agent asked me if I wanted to review Green Mountains new Wellness Collection I was excited beyond belief.   I could try a new coffee that would actually improve my health. It seemed like a win-win.
 
Another benefit of this product is that Green Mountain Coffee takes their environmental and social responsibility seriously. The company emphasis ethical and environmental standards.  They have implemented  a higher value structure when it comes to how they treat their employees, coffee growers, to the land’s Eco-system from tree to cup.  This is something you don't see in other manufactures.  Interested in learning more, check out Green Mountain's Social Responsibility page.

There are two flavors in the Wellness Collection, the Focus Blend and an Antioxidant Blend. The Focus Blend  includes 50 mg L-Theanine (reduce stress and anxiety) while the Antioxidant Blend has Vitamin C and E. These are both 100% Fair Trade certified coffees!

Since I drink my coffee black I was really concerned about the flavor of  the enhanced coffee. GMC did not disappoint.  It had the same great taste we expect from them and there was no aftertaste.  I enjoyed the Antioxidant Blend slight better since it had a bolder taste.  Also, I reduced the amount of water per cup to about 9 oz. for a richer taste.  I love knowing a healthier choice in coffee has great flavor.  Over the few days I sampled these two types of blends I can not say that I noticed any health benefits but maybe over time the improvement would be noticeable.  I do know that I enjoyed the coffee and would purchase the Wellness blends.

You can try the new line of fortified brews from Green Mountain Coffee by ordering online. They are priced at $18.49 for a 24 K Cups. You can join the Cafe Express Club and save 15% now. Plus, save another $3.00 when you enter the code GMCBEWELL at checkout. The code is good until Decemeber 31, 2012.
