Do you use Walgreens brand products?

This post brought to you by Walgreens. All opinions are 100% mine.

I’m definitely one to try store brand products. I find that, with a few exceptions here and there, they are just as good as some of the name brand products but at a better prices.

Walgreens Brand Health & Wellness Products are no exception. I unfortunately don’t have Walgreens at a convenient location for me but I have had an experience with their store brand products. My husband and I had decided to take a little drive to one of our favorite restaurants. I wore a pair of dress shoes I hadn’t worn in a while. Inevitably I ended up with a blister that was really bugging me. There was a Walgreens right across the street from our restaurant. I went inside hoping to pick up some time of antiseptic and some bandages. I typically like Bactine since it’s easy to apply and doesn’t burn. I found that Walgreens had their own called: Walgreen first aid antiseptic spray. I decided to give it a try. At only $5.99 for a 5 oz bottle compared to Bactine’s $7.99 I thought it would be worth a go. I found the product worked just as well as Bactine. I like it better though because of the price was right.

Did you know that most Walgreen’s brand health & wellness products have the same active ingredients as name brands? AND did you also know that they have a 100% satisfaction guarantee?

I only recently found out that when you buy Walgreens Brand Health & Wellness Products that you also help to support the Walgreens Way to Well Fund™ . The Walgreens Way to Well Fund™ helps provide free preventive health tests, health and wellness services, as well as education to the local communities. Some of these services will include preventive health test from the National Urban League Health and Wellness Tour and include vouchers redeemable in store. You can find more info on the Walgreens Way To Well Fund™ by visiting www.walgreens.com/waytowell.

Just for Fun: Who would be on your celeb "list"?

Do you remember the “Friends” Episode where Ross and Monica’s parents were talking about the celebs they could …well you know…if they ever had the chance. It would be ok if they did whatever with them if they had the chance and it would not effect the marriage.

My hubby and I talk about that sometimes. Now, no one compares to my hubby for me but there are a few celebs that peak my interest. So who would your top 5 be. I have a hard time coming up with 5. My top 3 are super easy but i really had to think who 4 and 5 would be. So here it is:

1. Vin Diesel (I’m sure will be on many lists)

2. Channing Tatum (Dear John, that’s all I have to say)

3. Dwayne Johnson (The Rock)

4. Adam Gontier (lead singer for Three Days Grace)

5. Usher

There’s one I considered on the list but I wouldn’t want to laminate it. I think Ivan Moody lead singer for Five Finger Death Punch is kinda hot in a bad boy sort of way but I think he might be to unstable for me. So ok you’re turn. Who would be on your list?
