BzzAgent Review: Children's Claritin


My daughter suffers from seasonal alergies so imagine my surprise and relief when I found out that I'd have an opportunity to test Children's Claritin in Grape flavoring.

When I first offered it to her she was a bit iffy because of the medicine smell but quickly overcame that problem. Taste wise, she had no complaints and was very cooperative with me!

Now, the medicine does  provide quick relief, an estimated 15mins before she had complete relief.  Children's Claritin does not however,  last 24 hours, and being a 24 hour medication she can't take another dose if she really needs to.

That was my only problem with this medicine. The longest it lasted for her was 5-6 hours maybe? Not bad I guess, but when someone advertises 24hrs you kind of assume it's safe to expect a full day of relief, but whatever.

*This product was given to me for free for testing purposes from BzzAgent.com

I live!

Sorry I haven't updated in awhile I've been really occupied with Rei. She finally got a hang of using the toilet and letting us know she needs to go. I'm just happy she didn't put up a fight to leave her diapers lol.

Also, she finally said 'Daddy' though it's cute I don't like it she uses it more to get Alex to do her bidding -_-

Evil kid she is.

Right now I'm waiting for a VoxBox, a BzzKit and a package from Mom Ambassador. The BzzKit is for Dr. Scholl's for her, the Vox Box is Something Blue and from Mom Ambassador, I'm sampling the O Organics Salads. I'm going to be busy once they all come in the mail. :)

Father's Day is almost here, I already know what I'm giving Chewy. I was able to get a Winston Shaving Kit from Harry's, a photo card from Treat.com and Skyrim: Legendary Edition. I'm kinda proud of myself, the only thing I paid for was half of Skyrim! Everything else was free or paid with Prepaid Visas I've gathered. I'm going to make him some tri-tip that day, can't wait!

Catching Up!

Happy Mother's Day!

Hope everyone has been having a goos time. Sorry I haven't been posting besides the usual review posts, but I had a bit of writer's block. Not to mention laziness xD

So, I was back home for a week, it was great being back. Little sad though, because Alvarado became well.... dirtier. Echo Park looks like a little suburban filled with hipsters now, but what pissed me off was the older Hispanic women over at Alvarado. Glaring at me or Rei one even had the gull to 'bump' into my stroller. I expected some rudeness but not at the level of hostility I saw when I went out. It was weird.

Sad, even.

I was raised around those parts of Los Angeles, but my trip made feel like a complete outsider. Maybe I've been living out here for too long. Maybe it is a good thing that I seldom return to LA to visit.

Oh well I guess.

So mom lives near the church now, but I love her new apartment. So many little shops and what not. There's even a bookshop! The next time I visit her Im setting $100 for that bookshop!

So life at home has been good. Alex started giving me a monthly stipend because according to him, a housewife should have spending money even if it's a small amount. Eh, free money I don't complain. Besides, it goes to our home anyway xD

I have been potty training Rei this week. It's f*cking hard! Props to the ladies that have the patience for this. She is willing to go potty, but freaks the hell out when Alex is home. I think she's shy.

Bleh.

I've been going through some really bad fatigue lately. I'm in a constant state of dizzying and being light headed. Ugh. I blame it on the stress. I just found that I'm going to have to take in my sister for an uncertain amount of time. ;/

Don't get me wrong I'm happy to do the right thing , it's just. .. well I don't know. I mean Alex and I are foregoing our personal life and space and it's not exactly sitting well with me. Also the thought of more people=more expenses such as the electricity, food, etc.

Plus she also has a child. I don't know her child or his mannerisms/behavior.  Not to mention how is Rei going to adjust to another child in the home.

I think I'm over thinking it.

I'm hoping that by trying to do the right thing I nor my husband get burned. I really do. For I'm just going to hope for the best, wish me luck cyberspace.

Oh! On a lighter note, I bought The Lost World by Michael Crichton for $1! That made me thrilled and sad. Thrilled because it's a brand new book for a dollar.  Very sad because it's a Crichton book in brand new conditions in the clearance rack.  :(

I'm an aunt!

My nephew was born January 11, 2013. Dude was 19inches and 7lbs, born by cesarean in the middle of the night.

Obviously I'm not sharing to much details as respect for my sister and the baby, but either way ... woot!! I have someone to spoil with video games, zombies and comic books >:D

Congratulations sister! Btw I forgot how expensive newborn baby shiz is!!

Alex keeps teasing me saying that shopping for my sister's baby is going to give me baby fever. Lies I say, lies! I have a toddler and four pets to care for I think I'm good! xD

Anyway, sorry I haven't been active with freebie finding and posting but I took a break. I had a fallout with my main freebie group when I realized that the GO was using the members for his benefit i.e. getting paid for our clicks, allowing promotion of anything only if he was getting a cut of any profit, and just plain using us. When I brought it up I was immediately banned from the group so well, that's that. I'll try to resume freebie posting but it isn't a guarantee, sorry.

Busy day today

We came home late from Los Angeles.  We didn't get to bed until maybe 3 a.m. I feel bad for Alex since he had to go to work later that morning. The good thing, I guess is that he came home at midday so he only worked six hours. With this heat it's almost impossible to do anything during the day it sucks. I need to go buy meat and fruits but I can't leave the apartment. I'm hoping it blows over eventually.

LA was fun. Sad as hell, but fun. We arrived Saturday night and spent the night at Gretel's. I'm kinda under the impression that Jason doesn't like me, but I'm not hurting over it. Her kid is so big! I hope the clothes I brought him fit.  :)

Spent Sunday with my Mom, visited my Aunts church too.  We took the kids out to the park, it was pleasant just to hang out. We took pictures too. 

I don't want August to end.

I'm not sure I'll be able to handle it to be honest.

My mom gave me a bunch of kitchen things. Appliances, silverware and glass/crystalware.

But not everything was good. Due to the heat, in the one day we were gone bugs got into the apartment. So today I spent the day cleaning, reorganizing, and throwing crap out.  Laundry was done too.

Man, what a long day. I still have plenty to clean tomorrow, so ugh.

Oh yeah, got another freebie in the mail. Press on Acrylic nails
