Glade Expressions Collection BzzAgent Campaign



This time around I was given the chance by BzzAgent to try the new Glade Expressions Collection. This is the newest collection offered by Glade. I was so happy to get my Bzz Kit in which included a coupon for one free starter kit of the spray and one free starter kit of the oil diffuser. It also included coupons for me to give to friends and family to try this products out as well.

The Glade Expressions Fragrance Mist
  • This is the first refillable fragrance mist from Glade
  • It's so easy just squeeze-to-release a soft, light mist of a great and refreshing fragrance that lasts
  • Instantly enhances any room and eliminates odor
  • Refillable with your favorite Glade Expressions fragrance — comes in 4 great scents. That will appeal to anyone. Cotton & Italian Mandarin, Fuji Apple & Cardamom Spice, Lavender & Juniper Berry and Pineapple & Mangosteen
  • Comes with a removable label, the holder is artfully designed and chic enough to incorporate into any décor
  • Fragrance satisfaction guaranteed or your money back
 All the scents come spray form and in the oil diffusers except the Cotton & Italian Mandarin.
That is the only scent that comes in spray form only. Which to me was a bummer because it was my first favorite of all the scents, but that is okay because I use that particular one in my bathroom. There is something about a cotton fresh smelling bathroom. That appeals to my senses. Both these items are found at just about any mass retail chain Target, Walmart, Walgreen's, CVS and most grocery stores as well as in some drug stores.

Glade Expressions Oil Diffuser
  • The best non-electric oil diffuser for living spaces, delivering 3x more fragrance
  • Refillable with your favorite Glade Expressions scent — authentic, exotic ingredients like mangosteen and cardamom spice are unlike anything else in the fragrance aisle
  • Trendy holder (available in bamboo or white) matches home décor perfectly, allowing you to place great fragrance in any room
  • The easy snap-in-place setup makes the diffuser easy to assemble, refill and use
  • The spill-free design fills living spaces with fragrance for 30 days
  • A wide and thin wick releases fragrance slowly, leaving you with consistent fragrance over time
  • Fragrance satisfaction guaranteed or your money back
Here is a rundown of the scents available and what each one entails.
Cotton & Italian Mandarin - Open your home with the bright, breezy blend of cotton and sparkling citrus, honeydew and sandalwood
Fuji Apple & Cardamom Spice - A ripe, spicy blend of sweet pears and crisp apple with a dash of cinnamon and clove that warms and invigorates
Lavender & Juniper Berry - Lush lavender blends with fresh juniper berry, eucalyptus and rose to relax the senses and open your home
Pineapple & Mangosteen - Evoke a tropical paradise with the blend of freshly cut pineapples and hint of tangy mangosteen, creamy coconut and passionflower

My favorites are the Cotton & Italian Mandarin for use in the bathroom and the Lavender & Juniper Berry for use in the rest of the house and my husband loves the Pineapple & Mangosteen.
Which is a nice scent, but of course my husband would love the pineapple one because he loves pineapples.

As for finding this at first it was a challenge a real one. I went to several Target's and to Walmart and couldn't find them they were sold out. The only ones available were the Fuji Apple & Cardamom Spice. Which I don't mind the apple scent, but as for the spice scent I don't like it all to well. I waited several more days and checked back and still no change. So it did take me 2 weeks to finally get the ones I was wanting. I'm truly happy to have gotten a chance to try this and from now on I will continue to purchase this collection for my home. I do wish that they would make the Cotton & Italian Mandarin in the oil diffuser so that I can use it to keep my bathroom smelling fresh. Hopefully in the future they will make it so.

The pricing for these are not bad I paid for the Spray Starter Set $2.99 & for the Oil Diffuser Kit $5.99 at Target. The coupons for the free items were listed at up to $4.49 for the Spray Starter Set and up to $8.99 for the Oil Diffuser Kit. So I guess it depends on where you live and shop. I know that Walmart had both of the sets about $.50 -$.75 lower than Target. I didn't notice how much the oil diffuser refills were I did notice that the spray refills were $1.99 at my Target which is so reasonable.
Here is the what the oil diffuser looks like on my front table as I enter my home. This is where I chose to put it. I feel it was the best place because whenever I enter or exit my home I can smell the great scent and it's so inviting and also so refreshing to smell as I leave as well. As you can see from the photo I usually burn candles. I had to stop doing this for a while now because I do have 2 cats and lately they have be curious about the flames. So with that this oil diffuser comes in very handy and is very cat friendly.

How to remove stubborn/glitter nail polish fast

Have you ever painted your nails with a wild glitter polish? Or even used a glitter polish as a top coat? I have and I can tell you it's a nightmare to remove. The solution? Well I'll tell you that in a minute. I have tried many things from soaking my nails in pure acetone. To soaking them in those nail polish jars with the sponge inside. Nothing worked well. It either took to long or irritated my nail beds from all the rubbing. So I found a great and easy solution to remove glitter or stubborn polish. One day last year while browsing the web as to find a better way to remove said polish. I discovered several ideas all using aluminum foil and cotton balls. So I decided to try this idea. Well it really worked.
 Here is what you need to do this. Any aluminum foil I got mine at the local grocery store. Scissors to cut the foil into 10 small sheets. Any nail polish remover and cotton balls or cotton pads. I love using the cotton pads personally and I feel are easier to use. I cut 3 cotton pads in 4's.
Then using the nail polish remover I put a good amount to saturate the pad. Then I placed all the pads on each of my fingers.
 Then using foil sheets I placed my finger on top and then folded it over the nail to seal it. Do that to all the nails on one hand then let set for 10 minutes or longer it's up to you. This may also depend on the type of glitter used and how many coats of polish you have on.
When time is up lightly twist the foil back and forth several times.
 Then pull from the nail revealing a clean polish free nail. If for some reason all the polish doesn't come off on the first try.Then just use a cotton ball/pad to clean off any excess left on the nail. Then proceed to doing the other hand in the same manner.
This can also be used on your toes as well to take off the polish in a easier way. Especially if you have problems like me bending for long periods of time.
This to me is the easiest way to remove polish without damaging your nail or cuticle area.
