Jergens Overnight Repair nightly restoring moisturizer

Rating:  4

I was lucky enough to receive a sample of Jergens Overnight Repair (as well as Jergens Ultra Healing, which I will review separately) lotions from Viewpoints.

In general, I am not a big lotion fan, but with the dry air of the winter months creeping in, I thought I'd try to find a lotion to keep my skin from drying out and cracking like it usually does.  Unfortunately, I was disappointed with the Jergens Overnight Repair lotion, and it will definitely not be what I buy in the coming months.

I found the lotion to be very sticky, and even after sitting for a while to (theoretically) allow the lotion to dry, it didn't.  Instead of being absorbed into the skin to create a lasting moisturizing feeling, the lotion simply rested on top.  I did not feel like this lotion was doing its job of repairing my damaged skin, as advertised.  In my opinion, lotion should not have a noticeable feel after putting it on- it should just do its job.  The fact that this lotion still felt sticky on my legs the morning after I applied it really turns me away from purchasing it.

The Jergens Overnight Repair lotion did have a nice, relaxing floral scent, but that did not make up for the overall negative impression I had with this product.  I would much rather use an unscented lotion with a clean feel than a nicely-scented lotion that is sticky.

UPDATE: Chex Mix party from MyGetTogether

So it's been a few weeks since my Chex Mix party from MyGetTogether, and I'm finally getting around to updating- sorry it took so long!

My roommate, another friend, and I enjoyed our Chex Mix while watching House (which we do every week).  The Chex Mix was a great addition to our weekly get-together.  Normally, we don't have snacks or we are all eating dinner while watching TV.  Because of all the flavors of Chex Mix provided by MyGetTogether, each of us was able to enjoy what we liked.  My friend and I quickly downed the bag of Turtle Chex Mix, while my roommate preferred the Original.  We were also given Honey Nut Chex Mix to sample.

After participating in my first MyGetTogether, I am eager for opportunities to host more parties.  I really enjoyed sharing the food and product information with my friends in a casual, fun environment.  On top of that, we all got to eat really great snacks!

Here's a shout-out to MyGetTogether and General Mills for such a wonderful opportunity!
