BzzAgent #Beauty #Review and Video for Tone Petal Soft Body Wash



Disclosure: The following review is taken 100% from my own experiences with this product. It was given to me free, to try, as a BzzAgent.

Selena Thinking Out Loud With Purpose is here as an official BzzAgent and happy to review another product. This time I tried Tone Petal Soft Pink Peony and Rose Oil Body Wash. 
According to the bottle for the New! Tone Petal Soft, "it gives your skin a fabulously flowery treat every time you shower. The delicate floral scent lathers on to keep you feeling irresistibly fresh and the rose-oil infused body wash formula helps leave your skin beautiful and soft." 
Tone also has other spa-inspired ingredients like cocoa butter, white clay, and alpha-hydroxy fruit acids that help keep your skin moisturized and nourished each and every day
My Tone Petal Soft Pink Peony and Rose Oil Body Wash Review




I was actually familiar with Tone bar soaps and their body washes before this BzzAgent campaign, but I always purchased their Cocoa Butter Tone bar soap and sometimes the body wash. Personally, I am not really a flowery, mega perfume-type chick, but I thought that I would give this new scented body wash a try anyway. Maybe, I would surprisingly like it, you know? 

First off, you do not need a lot of this body wash to get a good lather for your body. You only need about a tsp or tablespoon on your bath sponge or wash cloth. I used a wash cloth. This particular one, had a pinkish, pearl-like look as it went on my wash cloth and I could smell the strong scent of the product. 

As I washed my arms, then the rest of my body, I could feel my skin becoming softer and softer. It felt as if it was moisturizing my skin while under the water and using the product simultaneously. If you're into getting spa-treatments or going to the spa to relax in a full-body mud bath or anything of that nature, this Tone product put me in that atmosphere, without leaving the comfort of my home. 

I read that the goal of this product was to give you a spa-life feeling and I sincerly have to agree with that advertisement. Any other day, I would have never thought to pick up this scent of Tone, but having the opportunity to try it has really changed my mind and outlook, so I am thoroughly impressed. The smell of this product became milder after I rinsed it off my skin and dried off after the shower, which I was happy about. I could smell the scent of the pink peony and rose oil in my arms. 

My skin was so moisturized and soft that I didn't have to put on any other oils or lotions because I was good to go and ready to get dressed for my day. Being someone who is health-conscious, but a bit of a tomboy too, I believe that looking and feeling good goes hand in hand from the inside out. This product definitely adds to my lifestyle of living healthy, while looking and feeling great too. I give this Tone Petal Soft Pink Peony and Rose Oil a Grade A.

BzzAgent #Review and Video: Schick HYDRO Silk Sensitive Care #Razor



Disclosure: The following review is taken 100% from my own experiences with this product. It was given to me free, to try, as a BzzAgent.

Selena Thinking Out Loud With Purpose is an official BzzAgent and very happy to review the Schick HYDRO Silk Sensitive Care Razor. Being a military veteran, I was a late bloomer when it came to shaving. I know, what lady wouldn't shave right, but it is more common than you think. However, after serving in the U.S Army, I finally tried shaving and my experiences were mixed. I have sensitive skin and have tried to look for razors that would protect my skin but do the job well. So, when I had the opportunity to review Schick HYDRO Silk razor, I was all ears.

According to Schick's website, their HYDRO Silk razor: delivers a better hydration boost than any other razor. This uniquely designed razor goes beyond an incredibly close shave to actually care for your skin. With Water-Activated Moisturizing Serum & 5 Curve-Sensing blades with skin guards to help protect skin from irritation, the Hydro Silk® razor leaves skin feeling silky smooth! 
My Schick HYDRO Silk Sensitive Care Razor Product Review





Shaving can definitely be a scary experience, when you're not using a reliable brand razor. I have used many different brands, at different prices, but I must admit that this razor is amazing. I put the razor under water to activate the moisturizing serum like the packaging stated. Then I started shaving. I have to say that I didn't feel a thing. While I was shaving, I wondered if it was even removing the hair on my legs, but after rinsing away the Skintimate shaving cream, I was SO impressed. The hair was gone, I didn't have any nicks or cuts, it didn't feel like a traumatic experience at all. I normally use disposable razors, so using this refillable HYDRO Silk razor was new for me. The gel that came from the head of the razor spread across my legs while I shaved and I could actually see it doing its job. It actually performed like advertised on the Schick website. It also worked very nicely with the thick, rich, Skintimate shaving cream for Dry Skin.

Speaking of the Skintimate shaving cream for Dry Skin, I received a Free Coupon as a BzzAgent, to try it too, up to $3.79. This shaving cream was nice and thick, while providing an extra barrier of protection on my legs, while I shaved. I have purchased Skintimate before and will definitely make sure to purchase it again in the future. 

Overall, I had a fantastic shaving experience. I am now a refillable razor chick! The Schick HYDRO Silk Sensitive Care Razor gets a Grade: A, for awesome performance. I will be using it for many days to comes.


As a woman, it can be a challenge to find products that compliment our body types. We strive to look our best as wives, girlfriends, moms, and even single, independent, women. When a great product comes along to make our lives a little easier, I have no problem with sharing the good news.


Want a Coupon? - All Gone :(
I do NOT have anymore coupons left for the Save $4.00 on One (1) Schick Hydro Silk Sensitive Care Razor, as I update this blog review. 

The first 3 readers to contact me, received the coupons I had. I will be doing other product reviews and will be giving away more coupons in the future as well.

Brianna Heart has a six-year old daughter and a twelve-year plan to keep her life as simple as possible until Layla turns eighteen. That means swearing off relationships and the drama that goes along with them, working two jobs, and being the best damn mother she can be.

The last thing Capital Series Grand Prix racer Hugh Braden wants after dating media-hungry leggy models and money-hungry fan girls is a blind date. But how could he turn down a favor to one of his best friends?

When Brianna’s perfectly orchestrated life turns upside down, Hugh is there to help, softening the turmoil, and maybe even rescuing her heart from the lonely place where it has been hiding.

BzzAgent #Review: Simple Truth and Simple Truth Organic #Foods



Disclosure: The following review is taken 100% from my own experiences with these products. They were given to me free, to try, as a BzzAgent.

Selena Thinking Out Loud With Purpose is an official BzzAgent and very happy to review Simple Truth and Simple Truth Organic. I'm the kind of lady who watches what she eats and that's not because I want to stay looking good in my skinny jeans. I do enjoy food, you know. As I've gotten older I realize that my body isn't taking any mess from me, when it comes to binge-eating with cheese pizza, french fries, and sea salt kettle-cooked potato chips. Those escapades are sadly over. Even during the holidays when most Americans find themselves binge eating, I keep it very conservative. So, when I had the opportunity to review, for free, some of Kroger's Simple Truth and Simple Truth Organic, I had to jump on it!



According to Simple Truth and Simple Truth Organic products, they are: open, honest and affordable foods that represent the joy of eating closer to the way nature intended. Making better food choices just got a whole lot simpler with clean packaging and easy-to-understand ingredient statement that take the chore out of selecting organic, "free from 101+ artificial preservatives and ingredients" and natural foods.

My Simple Truth and Simple Truth Organic Products Review


I'm a cereal monster. I love trying new healthy choices, that gives me the vitamins and minerals I need with a touch of sweet goodness. So, I was anxious to try Simple Truth Sweet Nut Cluster & Flake Granola cereal. 

It was very tasty with texture, I realized from the start. I liked that the flakes, the granola, almonds and nuts were noticeable in my bowl. The flakes and granola were huge morsels. You could see that they weren't skimpy on the product and with every bite I could taste the sweetness of the granola the the bite of the nuts. 


I would definitely buy this cereal again, if the price is as reasonable in Ralphs, as advertised. Cereal prices are definitely highly-priced these days, when it comes to the cereals that are actually good for you, as I have noticed. However, I am open to purchasing this product. I give this cereal two thumbs up and a Grade: A.





Who's loves popcorn? I LOVE popcorn. I can eat it anytime of day and not just at the movies, either. It's light, airy, fluffy, and a great snack in between meals for me. I also like a touch of seasoning to bring out the popcorn flavor. These are all the qualities I loved about Simple Truth Organic White Cheddar Popcorn. I ate this bag of popcorn while watching my Netflix movies, working on my business plan, and just as a midday break from working from home. I couldn't get enough of it. The white cheddar didn't drown out the popcorn and that is definitely a plus for those of you who are watching your figure. I would purchase this product again and give it a Grade: A.



The final product that I had the opportunity to review for free was the Simple Truth Flavored Blackberry Blueberry Vapor Distilled Water and Electrolytes. I thought at first glance that this would be a carbonated, flavored, water, which is normally how I see it in grocery stores. However, it was water with a touch of flavoring. I also heard from another person that electrolytes help the water absorb into the body much better. 

This product tastes like you're drinking regular water and you finally get the taste of the blackberry and blueberry, during the after taste of the experience. I don't usually make a big deal out of my water drinking. I normally drink purified water and call it a day. So, with that said, the product is okay, but not for me. I don't understand the reasoning behind the flavoring in regular water, for this product. I know that some people have a difficult time drinking enough, plain, water, but this product wouldn't satisfy that problem with it's flavoring, at least not with this particular flavor I tried. I wouldn't purchase this product as often. I give it a Grade: C.


Want some Coupons?

If you're a fan of coupons, I do have some available for Simple Truth and Simple Truth Organic products. They will expire 2/28/2014

How to Get Them: If you would like some, send a message through my Contact Me page, with your mailing address, and I will get them out to you!
