Campus Book Rental
It's no secret that college is expensive. REALLY expensive. Going to a community college near your home can save a lot of money on the cost of tuition, but the books can still be incredibly expensive.

That way, you don't have to pay the full cost of the book you just pay to use the book for however long you need it. If you order Read more [...]
Proactiv Review
I've dealt with acne since I was around ten years old. Like most kids, I bad pretty consistent acne from 12-15 years old.

Prefense Alcohol Free Hand Sanitizer Review and #Giveaway
I have heard stories about schools banning the use of hand sanitizer in elementary schools after young kids eat the hand sanitizer and get sick.

Prefense is an alcohol free hand sanitizer that is safe to use around children. It comes in a small bottle but it produces a foam and the small 8oz bottle lasts for 640 pumps. Plus, Read more [...]
