Happy Birthday Swag Bucks

Today is Swag Bucks birthday. Happy Birthday Swag Bucks! Have you discovered Swag Bucks yet? Swag Bucks has been one of my favorite discoveries in the last year. You just sign up for an account and then use the search engine on the website. During your searching, you win Swag Bucks. When you collect enough of them, you can win great prizes. The most popular one and the one I save my gift cards for are the Amazon gift cards. You can save them up to buy anything. Right now I'm trying to save my Swag Bucks up to buy a pair of Dansko clogs.

You can win Swag Bucks for other things too like shopping through the Swag Bucks website and completing special offers. And sometimes they'll hide swag codes on the website and you'll have to hunt for them and you can win swag bucks that way too.

I've really enjoyed being part of the swag bucks community. In the past I've used my Amazon gift cards I won with my swag bucks to buy things like Vera Bradley bags and books for my kids.

Lysol No Touch Hand Soap System

Have you seen this new Lysol No Touch Hand Soap System automatic soap dispenser? I picked one up at Wal Mart last week when I saw they were selling them. I was so excited because my sister has had an automatic soap dispenser from Williams and Sonoma. She was given one as a gift a few years ago for Christmas. I believe the one she has runs between $30 and 40 dollars. She has always had a really hard time with refilling it. So, knowing that has kept me from putting out the money for one. So when I saw this one by Lysol, I decided that for ten dollars I'd give it a try.

I have a love hate relationship with this. First, when I went to put the soap into the dispenser it didn't click so it didn't work right away. But, I read the directions and once I did what it said it worked like a champ and has been ever since. Two things I don't like is that I don't like the smell of the soap. It isn't terrible, I just don't love it. And the other thing is that I feel like the dispenser puts out more soap than you need. I'd estimate it puts out about a teaspoons worth. It seems like a lot.

The dispenser comes with batteries, the dispenser, and one soap cartridge. The scent that I got is something with a leaf on it. They have another scent that is cucumber which is ok. The boxes have a scratch and sniff, but when I scratched mine in the store I couldn't smell anything so that wasn't any help. But, for the convenience of having the automatic dispenser I guess I'll get over it. I think Lysol should team up with Bath & Body Works. Those folks know how to make great smelling soaps. :)

I have my dispenser in my kitchen. The main reason I wanted this was so that when I cut up meat, I didn't have to touch the soap dispenser. I'm always worried about salmonella. So that has made me happy.

Bottom line, I do like this system and I would recommend it.

So, that is one new thing in my neck of the woods. Hope you are having a great day!
