scrubbing bubbles toilet bowl cleaning gel

One of the things in my bzzz kit was the scrubbing bubbles toilet cleaning gel. The toilet gel package contained One disposable dispenser and One gel holder (gel holder contains six gel discs).

This is my review of this product.

It's supposed to be easy to use, but it took me a little while to figure it out and I have heard from friends that they have had the same issue. It is certainly easy after you know what your doing after the first time.

The benefits of Scrubbing Bubbles Toilet Cleaning Gel as listed on their website and my opinions on their claims:

* Prevents the build-up of lime scale and toilet rings

My toilets water when it flushed doesn't rise up enough to swish along the gel disk which is what helps prevent toilet rings. When I flush the water rushes over it and down into the toilet.

* Continuously cleans and freshens with every flush

Again I don't know about other toilets, but with mine since the water just rushes over it and down into the toilet and doesn't rise up enough to swish around in the toilet I didn't see a marked difference.

* Eliminates odors as it cleans

Boy does it eliminate odor, I could smell the fresh clean scent every time I went into the bathroom. I loved the scent so much I would buy it just for that reason alone, it worked to make my bathroom smell fresh better than the auto air fresheners I generally use in there.

* Each disc lasts up to one week

You have to take claims as they are worded, they claim up to one week which really means it will last any where from 1 day to 1 week, but there are no specifics as far as how long it is supposed to work. I used the product for 30 days and on average a disk lasted 4 days.

* Leaves no residue behind

It does not leave any residue behind, one minute the disk is there the next it's not. I didn't even notice it diminishing in size, it just disappeared which makes me think the disk just stops being able to stick to the toilet and flops off.

* More hygienic than traditional clip-on bowl cleaners

The only other toilet cleaner I have used is the drop in the tank tablets and it compares as far as how hygienic the products are....the tank option you have to lift the tank lid up and with the disk you have to lift up the toilet seat. As far as what my understanding is of clip on bowl cleaners you have to lift the seat as well, so I would call it comparable.

* Safe for septic systems

I am not a professional so I can't comment on this claim.


The first day I tried the toilet bowl cleaning gel the disk came out like a star exactly how it is supposed to look.

The next two times I tried it the gel stuck to the dispenser and when it came off on the bowl it looked either like a lump or a cone shape. There are no real directions on how to store the product so I looked on their website and int he FAQs section it says if this happens it was not assembled correctly and to take it apart and put it back together. However seeing as that it came out right the first time I obviously put it together right, the product just has some type of storing issue.

Scrubbing bubble extend-a-clean mega shower foamer

One of the things in my bzzz kit was the Scrubbing bubble extend-a-clean mega shower foamer, the following is my review of that product.


Shower before:

Really dirty shower bench

The shower was sprayed down and let to sit as directed.

The ledge after cleaning:

The bench after cleaning:

The shower doors after cleaning, you could still see specs of cleaning product left over that didn't come off with just the spray of the shower.

Close up of the stuff left over from just a spray off of water from the shower:

The bench seat in the shower after being sprayed down needed to be scrubbed a little to get all the dirt off, but look how clean it is now:

You can see the soap scum more clearly on the metal surfaces in the pictures, when I tried photographing the surround of the shower all I got was a flash, but any where in the shower that there was soap scum before the cleaning still remained after the cleaning. It did clean the basic dirt and grime, but did nothing for the soap scum.

This month of March it's Lash talk. I answered their survey for what I like in my mascara. Here I will review their Professional super thick lash mascara.




This is one of the cheapest mascaras at just over $5.I liked that it was thick and did what I wanted it to. I even liked the smaller wand, which I don't normally. Normally I like large curved wands that seem to seperate lashes better. The only thing that I didn't like was that it seemed to take a while to dry. I had to keep my eyes open and do my best not to blink (do you know how hard it is to not blink when your trying not to, it's hard). Even though it took a while to dry I think it's worth it for the cost. With the economy anything that allows me to be the fashionista I am while still being frugal is tops in my book.

For a Jillian Michael's book it wasn't as good as I expected it was going to be. If I had bought the book I would be very disappointed. Don't get me wrong it's not a completely or even remotely bad book, but it isn't over all great or even good book.

The book can be summarized in 2 pages, that's pretty much the extent of good content that I found to be useful.

Skinny Bitch

Yeah I said it. It's a book for those not in the know, a diet book. Let me tell you that the first 114 pages are pretty much shit. It talks about other diet programs and what is good about them and bad. As good as that is, it doesn't really help. I don't know what it is about certain diet books, but they like to dilly dally till they get to the fucking point. Excuse my language, but it is a biproduct of the book that I just read. That's right, if you read this book, don't go in public if you don't want to have potty mouth. The entire book is just as the title very frank and many words in which your mother would wash out your mouth with soap if she head you.

ch 1: give it up basically tells you to give up coffee, pop, and liquor. Don't worry we can have water flavored with lemon and they say if your feeling crazy you can add a fruit to the water. Oh and tea - organic herbal decaffinated.

ch 2 : carbs the truth what you can eat and what you can't, yes there are good carbs.

ch 3 : sugar is the devil self explanatory, substitues are given.

ch 4: the dead, rotting, decomposing flesh diet, talks about the atkins diet and becoming a vegetarian.

ch 5: the dairy disaster, mothers milk should not be drank after 24 months and cows milk is going to make you fat, it's made to make a baby cow go from birth weight to 2,000 pounds in 2 years. Talks about other dairy products and more about being a vegetarian and it's benefits.

ch 6: you are what you eat. More information about being a vegetarian.

ch 7 : the myths and lies about protein.

ch 8: pooping. You should shit as much as you eat every day. If your not increase your water intake, exercise, and start eating better.

ch 9: Have no faith: Governmental Agencies don't give a shit about you health. Self explanatory. USDA, FDA, NAIS, PCRM, CMPB, OCA, RDA, and other agencies and the amount of caring they give us talked about.

ch 10: Don't be a Pussy. FINALLY! The book get's to the point of it all and starts talking about their diet and their suggestions that they came up with.

More on chapter 10 later, off to read some more.
