Growing up with pets, I know how hard it is to keep carpet clean.  Especially as they get into their older years, it can get really messy. Throw in your occasional spill from time to time and general foot traffic coming through, and if you have kids, then you know how dirty carpet can get, fast! When I learned that the Mohawk SmartStrand was going to be at the Port of Los Angeles Lobster Festival for their License to Spill tour this past weekend, I knew that I just had to check it out and boy was I ever impressed! I was also looking forward to eating some tasty lobster and hanging out with my favorite blogger buddies!

License To Spill #ShopAs soon as I arrived I met up with my fellow blogging friends and who should appear then, but JD Roberto, who  is from The Better Show! JD was there to test out the SmartStrand Carpet and to Record about the License to Spill Tour for his show. He was having a great time enjoying the Lobster Fest as he came back from playing one of the games with a  framed Justin Bieber photo that he was going to give to his co-host as a joke.

The smells coming from the License to Spill tour were making me crave lobster even more as they were dishing out samples of Lobster Cioppino by Noramae Munster from Ports O’ Call Waterfront Dining.  I could have taken seconds or even thirds of this yummy stuff, but I waited patiently for my lobster!

Do You Have the Wipe Stuff? Rolling on with Cottonelle #LetsTalkBums

Do You Have the Wipe Stuff? Rolling on with Cottonelle #LetsTalkBums

By: Erin

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post as I am a Cottonelle brand ambassador. I just fell in love with Cherry Healey in these hilarious videos about our bums, and I just had to share them with you. All thoughts and opinions remain my own.

lets-talk-bumsBy now I am sure you have seen the Cherry Healey comercials on TV. They have had me giggling nonstop. Between Cherry’s accent and the entertaining conversation, what’s not to love? Won’t you give these wipes a go? Do you have the wipe stuff, or just the dry stuff? If you add these amazing bum wipes to your dry routine, trust me. You’ll feel fresher and cleaner for it. Don’t just take my word for it though, check this out! Bound for at least a good laugh, while listening and watching folks talk about their bums 😉

So what did you think of this one? Are you convinced of the wipe stuff yet? I definitely have to agree, there are times that these wipes would come in especially handy. Like after those hot wings perhaps? 😉 Not only that, but it is nice to feel fresh and clean all day long! You don’t wash your hands with just a dry towel do you? I didn’t think so! Why would you subject your bum to only the dry treatment then when you use soap and water to wash your hands? Using only the dry stuff just doesn’t cut it! By adding the bum wipes to your routine, it will freshen you up as well as make your dry toilet paper last longer. ;)  Follow along with us and join the conversation by tweeting @Cottonelle on Twitter and using #LetsTalkBums You can also find Cottonelle on Facebook and share there as well! Now the only question is…. WHERE is Cherry heading next?

So let’s chat! Have you tried Cottonelle’s flushable wipes on your bum? Why not give it a go if you haven’t?
