Melissa McCarthy Launches Ivory Brand’s New Social Community “The Soap Dish”

By ·

Actor and Comedian, Melissa McCarthy is bringing simple, everyday humor to Ivory’s new Social Community, the “Soap Dish“! She will serve as the brand spokes person and host!

The Soap Dish is a place for women to dish about lifes simple truths. Melissa will engage with the readers and it will be loads of fun, you just have to check it out!

Melissa McCarthy has become one of Hollywood’s most sought after talents. She is a seasoned comedian and character actress who is down-to-earth, charming and honest!

The Soap Dish is a light-hearted social community that offers women an outlet to share in the everyday humor and honesty of their lives in an unapologetic manner.You can find the fun community on  the Ivory Facebook page. This is a place where today’s modern mom can come and talk, share opinions, ideas, and maybe a little attitude on what it is that makes her life so complicated. As host of the Soap Dish, McCarthy will invite Ivory fans and followers to join her in dishing about everyday topics ranging from motherhood, marriage and meatloaf to much more!

In an effort to better understand today’s women and moms, the brand commissioned a national survey of 1,017 moms to uncover attitudes and insights surrounding the realities of her everyday life and role as wife, mother, daughter and more. Not surprising, the results revealed quite a bit about today’s mom. For instance, 80 percent of moms surveyed feel that motherhood is more complicated today than it was for their own mothers 20 years ago. However, more than half (54 percent) say they’re balancing life as a mother better than their own mom did. Perhaps the secret to it all? 66 percent confessed to hiding in the bathroom for much needed “me” time. Sounds about right, huh??

I have always enjoyed using Ivory products. Me and my family have terribly sensitive skin, and Ivory does our skin good. Without drying or irritating our skin, this is truly the first soap/products that we can all use that does not irritate our skin. I received three great Ivory body washes in Lavender, Ivory Simple Clean and Ivory Simply Aloe. I also received bars of soap, which we use ALL the time. The body washes are so moisturizing and leave me skin super soft, which I knew it would. The scents of the body washes smell so good and the scent stays on my skin after I am done with my bath. I also use this on my kids and in the water to make nice bubbles for our bath!

To learn more about Ivory products and where you can buy them, please visit http://www.facebook.com/Ivory You can also find Ivory on Twitter and Youtube, too! Don’t forget to grab up your P&G coupons before you buy!

Disclosure:

I was sent product for this post. These are my own, honest opinions, thanks!

Things A Human Should Not Do…

By ·

 

Lay in front of a trike and wait patiently for someone to get on it and start riding…

Try to kick in glass doors, while flailing on the ground…

Vacuum your canine with a small vacuum…(or probably ANY vacuum..)

Never try to bake your head in the oven..

Never put your hand in a kitchen garbage disposal..

And please don’t put your finger in a light socket..

These are just a few things I could think of off the top of my head, perhaps there is more, perhaps I got them all.

If you enjoyed this post and ALL my brothers HARD work in doing those photos, please give this post a stumble! Thanks :)
