As a mom I used to thank that it would get easier as the kids became pre-teens and teenagers!  However, I find this right the opposite!  So my apologies to all you moms that haven’t reached this stage in life just yet.  I am sad that I have to inform you it doesn’t get any better!  I have learned really fast that we start with a lot of new issues and of course some just don’t change at all!   If you’re a mom of pre-teen or teenagers, I am sure you find yourself constantly reminding them to eat breakfast, do their homework, clean their room or pick dirty clothes off the bathroom floor! Let’s face it sticking to a routine proves to be a daily struggle for them. Teens crave fast and easy solutions.

We all know that those pesky teen years also bring pesky acne! So getting them to do treatment that has 3 or more steps most likely doesn’t get done as often as it should!! My son started breaking out during basketball season, so I ordered him a 3 step system.  I mean it seems easy enough right? NO! He was just doing it whenever I reminded him!  He also complained that it was confusing and took too long! That’s why I am so happy to share with you about a new product tour we are doing!  It’s called X Out!  Before I agreed to do this tour I wanted to make sure what his thoughts was so I showed him the site. The first thing he said was “mom I need this”!  I was shocked but happy at the same time.

X Out’s  is an easy one-step Wash-In acne treatment that offers a hassle-free solution to kill breakout-causing bacteria for a fresh, clear and confident appearance. X Out’s Wash-In acne treatment can help as a daily face wash, spot treatment, or mask.  It provides the acne fighting power of benzoyl peroxide and a sulfate-free solution.  When we got the package I was shocked that he really seemed excited!  He has already started using it!

Over the next 30 days we will be testing this product out and report back on the pros, cons and our experience keeping up with this simple routine!  So make sure you check back! I will also be holding a giveaway and one lucky reader will win the same 30 day package right here at Mommy’s Hangout!

As a cat owner, I can’t even count how many different brands of cat litter we have tried over the years.  Let’s face it some brands don’t even start to mask the smell! I want and need something that will control the odor.  The past couple of years the only brand that I have been happy with is Arm & Hammer.   So when I was invited to try out the new Arm & Hammer Ultra Last Clumping Cat Litter it was a no brainer!

I will be honest; I really didn’t see how it could be any different or better!  So I didn’t have very high expectations since the brand itself is already great!  However, the new Arm & Hammer Ultra Last Clumping Cat Litter provides even more long-lasting odor control that keeps your home fresh, even when you can’t scoop every day. Let’s face it there has been times where scooping the cat litter are the last of your thoughts.   I am happy to say the new formula is even better than the old! Each granule gets coated with Arm & Hammer baking soda. The coated granules, when combined with powerful odor eliminators, provide long-lasting odor control. Arm & Hammer Ultra Last Clumping Cat Litter also creates rock solid clumps, enabling you to quickly remove the source of odors. Plus, the moisture activated fresh scent deodorizes throughout the day.  I am very impressed!  I also think my cats agree!

If you are looking for the perfect cat litter, I challenge you put this to the test against your current cat litter! You can find the Arm & Hammer Ultra Last Clumping Cat Litter at all national Target and Walmart stores. There is even a coupon you can print to save now, plus a rebate you can send  in it to make it FREE! So what are you waiting for? Your cats and home will thank you!
