WAT-AAH! Challenge
August 29, 2009 | Filed Under Reviews | 4 Comments

If your children are anything like mine, they will take soda, a juice box or milk over water anyday! So when I was asked to take the WAT-AAH! Challenge, I thought that it was worth a shot!
We received a pretty cool package full of WAT-AAH! goodies! We got one of each of the WAT-AAH! products:
- WAT-AAH! Bones, the first premium water with calcium to help bone growth
- WAT-AAH! Brain, the first premium water with added electrolytes to encourage faster absorption, hydration and cooling down
- WAT-AAH! Energy, the first premium water with electrolytes and oxygen for increased metabolic function and energy
- WAT-AAH! Body, the foundation for the brand with simple and super clean water, absolutely free of sugar
Plus we received a ton of WAT-AAH! stickers and tattoos for the children to enjoy!
As soon as I opened our package, I put the WAT-AAH! into the refrigerator right next to our milk and soda. I didn’t tell the children about it because I wanted to see their reaction when they say the bottle in the refrigerator.
My oldest son Rylan who is 3 was the first one to the refrigerator. As soon as he saw the WAT-AAH! bottles he was very curious and asked what it was. I told him it was WAT-AAH! and he immediately (much to my surprise) asked if he could have one. I let him pick which one he wanted and being all boy, he chose the blue which was WAT-AAH! Brain.
After Rylan tried it and kept drinking it, I thought I’d give it a shot to see what it tasted like. I figured it had to have some kind of flavoring or something because normally he won’t drink just water. I was very surprised to find out that in fact it did taste just like water.
The children have been requesting WAT-AAH! over their normal juice boxes. They were outside playing hard the other day and both of them each had their own bottle of WAT-AAH! so I snapped a couple of pics!


I’d say the WAT-AAH! Challenge was a success! I am happy to see my children requesting something that is very good for them.
WAT-AAH! wants my readers to participate in the WAT-AAH! challenge. If you are interested, you can contact Christine directly at christine at letwaterbewater dot com. Just tell her that Simply Being Mommy sent you!

Pond’s Wet Cleansing Towelettes Review & Giveaway (Closed)
August 28, 2009 | Filed Under Giveaways, Reviews, Skin Care | 147 Comments

I’m just going to start off by saying that I am not one to use cleansing towelettes. My face cleaning routine has been the same for many years and it has never included a cleansing towelette. However, when I was asked if I would like to review the Pond’s Wet Cleansing Towelettes I thought I should probably give them a try.
I received my package about a week ago and I’ve been using the Pond’s Wet Cleansing Towelettes since then. Since Taylor has started back to school, my schedule has been really hectic and it has really thrown me for a loop! All the time I had during the summer is now gone. I find that the only time I have is the couple of minutes after the kids finally go to sleep and my eyes start closing. Pond’s Wet Cleansing Towelettes allow me to clean my face without spending 3-5 minutes in the bathroom standing over the sink.

Pond’s Wet Cleansing Towelettes come in a re-sealable package so the remaining towelettes will not dry out. Being the frugal mommy that I am, that is a huge plus for me!
I found that the Pond’s Wet Cleansing Towelettes did a good job at removing my makeup. I don’t wear a lot of makeup, usually just a light powder, blush, mascara and lip gloss and it removed all my makeup with ease. I found the towelettes were lightly scented which is perfect for me because I don’t like heavy scents on my face. Sometimes when I wear scented products on my face I develop a huge headache. So again, another huge plus for me.
I also like that the towelettes are moist but not overly moist leaving my face feeling wet. When I was done cleaning my face, it felt clean and dry! I also liked that the towelettes were very soft and smooth on my skin.
Pond’s Wet Cleansing Towelettes are available in three varieties including:
- Original Clean
- Micro-Dermabrasion
- Age-Defying
All Pond’s Wet Cleansing Towelette products are are ophthalmologist and dermatologist tested. Clinical studies found that Pond’s Wet Cleansing Towelettes are up to 40 percent more effective at removing makeup than other leading towelettes.
So all in all, Pond’s Wet Cleansing Towelettes are convenient and effective.
