The Taste: Tuesday at 8|7c on ABC

If you enjoy watching cooking reality shows, then you'll definitely like The Taste on ABC. What I love about The Taste are the "blind" tastings and the fact that you have all different levels of cooks on the show, there are trained chefs and home cooks. The show began with audition rounds and from those rounds, each mentor chose four contestants to be on their teams. The four mentors are Anthony Bourdain, Nigella Lawson, Ludo Lefebvre, and Brian Malarkey. There is an immunity round where each team picks one contestant from their team to be judged and have the opportunity for immunity. In the next round, every contestant has their spoon judged. The judges/mentors will select their best and worst tasting spoons. They won't know who cooked which item and can eliminate their own team members. Two are eliminated each week. It's funny to watch the contestants all interact and cook together as well as watching the judges/mentors constantly tease each other throughout the show. The show like any reality show has lots of drama. There is the contestant that everyone loves to hate and those that you're rooting for and hoping to win. If you haven't checked it out yet and love to cook or watch cooking shows, this is one show that you won't want to miss. Here's a link to the latest episode of The Taste.

Glade Expressions®

I was selected for a Glade Expressions® campaign from BzzAgent and was excited to be able to try these two products from Glade. I received my coupons last week to try these two products for free, the oil diffuser and the fragrance mist. I tried on several occasions to find a Walmart that had more than a few of the scents available. After trying three different Walmart stores and a few other stores I went ahead and used my coupon to get the pineapple & mangosteen oil diffuser starter kit and the cotton & italian mandarin fragrance mist. I was hoping to find the fuji apple & cardamom spice varieties, but had no luck. I do prefer the bamboo holder that comes with the kit that I got versus the plain white in the other available scents. I just set up the pineapple & mangosteen oil diffuser this afternoon and will do a review after a few days to see how well the scent lasts.

Schick Hydro Silk® razor

I usually just use disposable razors and was pretty happy using those since they are so cheap that I was excited when I was chosen for one of my very first Bzz Campaigns from BzzAgent and got to try this product for free. I couldn't wait to see if these really felt any different. Well right away, I loved the handle and how much easier it was to hold the razor. I usually don't like moisturizing serum on razors since they usually just gunk up the blades, but this wasn't bad, it was just the right amount to provide moisture to my legs when shaving, but not enough to be messy. I was actually surprised and even touched the serum portion to see if there was any, and in fact there was. It's been a few days since I used this razor and my legs still feel pretty soft and smooth. I would say that this definitely gave me a closer, smoother shave than my normal disposable razor.

Palmolive Fresh Infusions

Palmolive® Fresh Infusions™ is the first VoxBox that I received from Influenster. I was given these products to test for free. I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the box and found three full-size samples. The three scents are Lemon Thyme, Lime Basil, and my favorite Ginger White Tea. Also, in the box were coupons to share with friends. Here's a photo of the bottles and my cat Whiskers. He had to come up and smell the wonderful scents himself. Thank you Influenster and Palmolive®.
