The last one I did was a high dollar one for Olay products, and the next one I’m doing is for Neutrogena Clinical. I bought it today, saved the receipt and UPC code, printed out the rebate form and I promise, I am mailing it tomorrow.

A receipt and UPC code are required, and the rebate is not available for the starter kit. There are also $5.00 off coupons for Neutrogena Clinic products on neutrogena.com.

A Gwinnett county mom has come up with a new product designed to ease fears about chemicals used in plastic baby bottles and children’s cups.
Ghazaleh Coulter has two small children and another one on the way. She didn’t want to worry about chemicals in plastic baby bottles so she came up with the CuteSip cup system.
CuteSip is a dishwasher safe stainless steel bottle system with interchangeable lids that include nipples for newborns as well as transitional sippy cups and sport bottles.
The bottles are $17.95 each but Coulter says they are less expensive because they last for years. “You can buy two stylish bottles and put them in your diaper bag and you can just change the tops as the baby grows. The bottles last for a very long time, it’s not like the plastic sippy cups that smell after a while or get scratched or lost,” she said.
CuteSip bottles can be purchased at cutesip.com. The infant version is also featured on thegreenhalf.com.
