I have to admit I have not used Dove products too much in the past. I think it might be because once I used some soap and the fragrance was way too strong for me. But everything changes and I’m open to change. That’s why when I was asked if I wanted to try out the new Dove Nutrium Moisture Body Wash I was more than happy to give it a try.
I received 3 bottles – Deep Moisture, Sensitive Skin, and Gentle Exfoliating. Over the past month I’ve tried all 3 bottles and I have found a new favorite body wash.
Here is what I liked about them…
- The Lather!!!! OMG there was so much lather. I mean I’ve used other body washes that have good lather but nothing like this. It’s amazing and the best part is you don’t need to use a lot to get the great lather!
- The Scent!!! OK, I know I said above I tried a Dove product in the past and the scent was way to strong. Well that’s not the case with any of these. The scents are soft and light. Does that even make sense?? It’s the only way I can describe it. My oldest used it a few times and she said she smelled like a mom! How cute is that.
- The way my skin feels AFTER!!!! Talk about soft. Have you ever used soap or a body wash and when you run your hands along your skin it doesn’t slide easily?? Do you know what I am talking about?? I hate when that happens but it did NOT happen when I used any of the Dove Nutrium Moisture Body Wash’s. My hand slides nicely along my skin and afterwards its very soft.
NEW Dove Body Wash with NutriumMoisture™:
- Repairs and maintains skin’s protective layer during cleansing
- Unlike moisturizers in other body washes, Dove Body Wash with NutriumMoisture™ penetrate surface skin deep down to replenish and nourish
- Clinically proven to significantly reduce dryness and improve moisturization
- Available in Deep Moisture, Sensitive Skin and Gentle Exfoliating
Next time this is on sale I will be grabbing some more!

My youngest is 2 years old and I still need to put her in a stroller from time to time. Taking the two of them in a clothing store isn’t easy with them both running around. Besides I like having a basket to put my purse in and also a cup holder. The only thing is I don’t want to use the big stroller anymore, you know the one that came with the travel system? It takes up way too much room in the car and it is just too big and bulky.
I decided I needed something more compact.
I was given the opportunity to receive the Deluxe Luce Travel Stroller from One Step Ahead for review and I was very happy because it looked like exactly what I needed.
When the stroller arrived I was very happy to see how light weight it was and it was definitely more compact than my bigger stroller. Not as small as an umbrella stroller, but still pretty compact.
Here are some things I liked about it:
- The basket underneath was a good size. I can fit my purse with no problem (I don’t carry a small purse) and even toss in a few bags while I’m shopping. It’s deep which I really like.
- It folded up so easily with the buttons right on the top. It has a little latch to keep it closed. I haven’t had any problems with it opening on it’s own.
- There are 2 cup holders on top along with a place to keep my keys and/or cell phone. I used a few different size bottles/cups and they all fit fine.
- There is a removable snack try that goes on and off very easy with the push of a button. I like having the option of removing it completely when I don’t need it, especially for quick in and out like when we are at the zoo.
- The seat material cleans very easily! I found that out accidentally and was amazed at how easily I was able to clean it with just a baby wipe.
- It has shoulder and waste straps that you can use together or you can just use the waste straps. Originally I used only the waste straps but then my 2 year old decided to try and stand up so I needed to add the shoulder straps. They are completely adjustable for whatever size your child is.
- It rides so easily. The wheels don’t get stuck, they don’t turn on their own, it flows nicely especially when I’m using one hand to open the door and push her in at the same time. Nice smooth ride.
As you can see I really do enjoy a lot about this stroller. However that being said there was 1 thing I didn’t like, but it’s not enough to keep me from using it. The nylon material makes it very easy for my daughter to slide down depending on what she’s wearing. For a smaller child that can’t hold themselves up well or that don’t reach the foot holder, I think that would be tough.
I think this stroller would be best used for toddlers or preschoolers. My preschooler also uses it from time to time. My two girls take turns riding and walking when we we are at the zoo or a fair. My toddler
loves it too and I already promised to pass it along to a friend for her youngest once we don’t need it any longer.
