Completely Unsolicited Product Reviews

I really should be clearing the clutter off my desk to get ready for my party, but I decided this would be more fun. Here we have – completely unsolicited by either the companies that make these products or my lovely and talented readers – a few reviews:

Johnson & Johnson Reach CleanPaste Floss – the idea behind this is that the dental floss is coated with tooth paste, so it’s “like being able to brush between your teeth!” As we all know, my teeth need all the help they can get, so I thought I would love this product. Sadly, that’s not the case. The mint flavor of the paste clashes with my toothpaste. Even worse, as you are flossing, the paste gets wet and the floss gets all slimy. That’s gross, and when your teeth are all crammed together like mine are, you need a certain amount of leverage to get your flossing accomplished. It’s still a good idea, but they need to work on the execution.

Fuji Apples – I’ve always been strictly a Granny Smith girl. I like my apples tart and green, and I wouldn’t eat a Red Delicious on a dare. Ok, maybe on a dare. However, when you make an apple pie, it comes out better if you have a mix of apples. I usually go for Macintosh, but this year, on a whim, I tried Fuji apples. The results were delicious, and now I have a new apple to eat. They are crisp and sweet and manage to have a little bit of tartness as well. Yum!

Tiny Trapeze Vanilla Marshmallow Fluff from Whole Foods. I’ve been a vegetarian for five years now, and rarely do I feel deprived. But one of the foods I sorely missed was Rice Krispie Treats. Tiny Trapeze Marshmallow Fluff is gelatin free and ridiculously tasty, and they’ve brought one of my favorite special treats back into my life. Double yum!

Bumble & Bumble Curl Conscious Creme – this is the single greatest product I have ever used on my hair. It helps with frizz, and keeps my curls smooth and pretty instead of fuzzy and crazy. If you have curly hair, you should try it. If you have wavy hair, you can use it too. It smells good without having an overpower fragrance, and it really gets the job done. The fine folks at Bumble & Bumble get curly hair and what it needs. I like all of their products that I’ve tried, but the Curl Conscious Creme is the absolute best.

There you have it. Four product reviews for stuff you probably didn’t care about in the first place. And yes, I know no one asked me for my opinion. But really, if I were to the type to sit around waiting for people to ask me questions, why would I even have a blog?
