Walgreens Brand Oil-Free Acne Wash Review

March 23, 2011 By Elizabeth

This is a compensated post written by me on behalf of Walgreens. All opinions are 100% mine. Thanks to SocialSpark and Walgreens, I had a chance to try out Walgreens Brand Oil-Free Acne Wash. I still break out once a month, and both my tween and teen sons use acne products every day. Walgreens Brand Health & Wellness Products are pharmacist recommended, have to contain the same active ingredients as national brands, and have a 100% satisfaction guarantee. I like them because they cost less too! Walgreens Brand Oil-Free Acne Wash costs $1.50 less than the similar national brand, which I have also used. It has a similar smell, consistency and lather, rinses clean, and doesn't leave our faces feeling dried out. I like being able to save money without sacrificing quality, don't you? Everything else is so expensive - food, gas, entertainment - so it's nice to have one area of my budget where I can know for sure that I'll save money. Another reason to purchase Walgreens … [Read more...]

We had 3 channels and we LIKED it

April 4, 2009 By Elizabeth

I was born in 1967. I remember when we tuned the TV to the channel we wanted by turning this dial on a box, then you could hear the antenna on the roof moving, with this sort of CHUNK! CHUNK! sound. I signed a petition in high school to get MTV added to our cable lineup. It was a big scandal since it showed these things called "videos" that might be glorifying drugs (gasp) and sex (GASP!) Our senior year, we had to turn in a ten page paper for English. I had to type each page out, and there couldn't be any Wite-Out on it, so if I mis-typed, I had to start the page over. Gas stations had full-service pumps and if you pulled into one, an attendant ran up, you told him how much of what kind of gas you wanted, and then while it was pumping, he checked your car's oil and washed the windows. There were Four Food Groups-Meat and Beans, Milk and Cheese, Fruits and Vegetables, and Breads and Cereals.Â A healthy meal had one serving from each. We never used the words "protein" … [Read more...]
