Dr. Scholl's Active Series Inserts are amazing!

Review:
I have very sensitive arches and was a little wary of these as the arch support seems to be pretty substantial. However when I had them in my sneakers, they were perfectly proportioned and the gel cushions are AMAZING! I lucked out and received these from Influenster for free for review and I got them a few days before a week long visit at Disney.  Walking around and sometimes running around with my two daughters was a breeze with these inserts.  My feet did not hurt once the whole week and that's saying something as I've said before my arches and feet are sensitive.

The inserts come one size and you have to cut them down to fit into your shoes.  It's very easy to do and the directions are very easy to read and understand.  You remove your old shoe inserts and line up to the back of the Active Series Inserts and take a marker and mark the back of the new inserts.  Then you just cut along the line you made and insert into your sneakers!  SO simple and easy.  I really have to say these are amazing.  And the packaging says they should be replaced every 6 months or so which is a great value for the money invested in purchasing these.  I honestly wouldn't of purchased these prior to trying them just due to the cost, which is a bit more expensive then basic inserts.  But I have to say the cost is worth the comfort and the durability.  I can't say enough about these inserts!  You have to try them!!

Crest 3D White Strip Review

Product Image:

My Rating: 

3 1/2 out of 5

My Review:

I received a Level 5 Box of Crest 3D White Strips from Influenster to try and review.  I have to say I was VERY excited to get the chance to do this review.  I drink at least a cup of coffee a day an then sometimes tea through out the day.  My teeth are not white and I don't expect them to ever be white but I would love to have them not as yellow!  

First let me say that it was easy to apply with very easy to understand instructions.  It gives you different options for different levels of white.  I decided to do the 2 hour whiting as appose to the 30 minute whiting.  I had an excessive amount of saliva in the beginning but after about 30 minute all was great and I was wearing the strips as I picked up my childrens toys.  After two hours, I removed my strips and I didn't notice any change in coloring right away.  After a few hours, my teeth looked a little less yellow, however they also hurt A LOT.  I have a few teeth that have little crack.  Nothing more then wear my dentist tells me, as I've just gone to the dentist last week.  I didn't think anything about it when I decided to try these strips and there are no warnings with the strips about possible pain from use of the strips.  About 5 hours after I removed the strips my teeth started to throb and really hurt! It feels like the nerve endings were on fire.  I unfortunately will not be able to use the other 6 days worth of strips because I can't stand the pain.  I however believe if I could use the strips for the full 7 days that my teeth would indeed be much more whiter then they are now as they have already started looking less yellow in just one treatment.  

I have mixed feelings overall about these strips.  I believe they would work wonders if I had perfect teeth.  I however don't have perfect teeth and there were no warnings in the paperwork with the strips about how it can cause pain.  So I give it a 3 1/2 out of 5.

Welcome!!!

Hello Everyone!

I have a book review but have recently started reviewing other products not in the literary genre and decided to create a blog for just those reviews.  I hope you enjoy my reviews and pictures when I can get them up.  I understand that my opinion may not always be the same as that of my readers but at least I'm giving the reader a different view of the product.  I believe that being informed about a product, the pluses and minuses of that product, help to make an informed decision and purchase!

Thanks for reading!
