 I have been using Soft Scrub for many years now. It has gone through many changes,updates and new products but one thing that hasn't changed is how clean that it keeps my house! I recently was sent the New Soft Scrub Total All Purpose Bath & Kitchen Cleanser to try out. “New Soft Scrub Total All Purpose Bath & Kitchen Cleanser is tough on stains, yet gentle on surfaces.  The new and improved formula has more whitening power and less residue, for better rinsing.  That means better cleaning and faster rinsing for your tile, grout, sinks, and tubs.” I love how easy this is to use~just apply with a wet sponge and rub in gently. The new cap design makes it easier to dispense so there is less mess,not so easy to spill and waste. It has the perfect amount of scent too~the lemon is there but not too overpowering. It made my tiles look like new in the bathroom and the stainless steel sink in the kitchen shines like silver! No need to break your back to clean~l

Rise Of The Guardians Review

                            ~ Rise Of The Guardians ~ Based on William Joyce's the Guardians of Childhood book series, Rise of the Guardians is a gorgeously animated film about Boogeyman Pitch Black's attempts to spread darkness and fear throughout the world and the guardians' attempts to foil him. Charged with the duty of watching over the children of the world, guardians Sandman, North, Tooth, and E. Aster Bunnymund are loved by children everywhere.   The look of the film, with its 3D palette, is mesmerizing. As Fisher echoed in our Rise of the Guardians cast interview, the movie appears to have been painted by hand. Each stroke of color and landscape is a marvel.  ~My Review~ I love animated movies,so as soon as this one arrived I grabbed a grandchild to watch with me!{I have to have a excuse you know..LOL} It did not disappoint,as the characters are great and the animation was fantastic.The voices are excellent and fit with each character
