Purex Complete Crystals Softener–Review and Giveaway!

Have you recently noticed this new product on shelves at your local store? I can imagine it caught your attention as it did mine! It's such a unique idea that I was, in all honesty, a little skeptical at first. I've never been a huge fan of liquid softeners, and I wasn't sure how Purex Complete Crystals Softners would work, since I prefer to use dryer sheets. 

As a Purex Insider, I was extremely lucky to receive a sample of the Purex Crystals in Fresh Spring Waters scent. They make doing laundry even easier! Just add a little to the washing machine when putting in your  laundry detergent and you just have to remember to put the load of wash into the dryer when it's time. They work by penetrating the fabric and infusing freshness that lasts for weeks, not days.

I found that when I opened the washing machine I was able to immediately semll the Purex Crystals scent. It wasn't overpowering, and I immediately fell in love with them! The same fragrance stayed with them throughout the time spent in the dryer, and the clothes came out softer than ever before. Even my husband was able to notice a difference with his work clothes, which are hard to get the 'work smell' out of.

One of the best parts, is that this is a 92% natural product!!!! I was even more surprised to learn that traditional liquid fabric softeners are oil-based, which means that they leave a layer of oil on your clothes and other laundry. After all, I want to know that my clothes are clean, not that they're being coated in oil. This coating that is left from liquid softeners also reduces the ability for towels and other fabrics to absorb water and other liquids. And, I definitely noticed a difference when drying dishes with the towels that were washed with the Purex Crystals.

I am so excited to share Purex Crystals with all of you! This giveaway will run until midnight CST on Sunday April 3rd, 2011. Please feel free to share one of your favorite laundry tips, as I will put together a list and post them to share with everyone. (Click here for a full screen view of the entry form.) Winners will be chosen through Random.org and announced on April 5th. Are you ready to change the way you do laundry?

I Caught Santa!!!! (Review and Giveaway)

...And here is the proof! 

Want to catch Santa in the act and have the proof for you children on Christmas morning? 

It's fun and easy to do! iCaughtSanta.com provides us parents with the tools to be able to catch the jolly old man. I had so much fun playing around with the different poses that they offer, to find the one that my daughter would love the best. The process itself took less than 5 minutes. But, of course I had to take some time to also play around with different poses. 

Ever had Wiiiings????

A few weeks back I decided to e-mail Red Bull because I honestly had never tried it and I was curious as to how it tasted and if it seriously worked. I've never been a huge believer in energy drinks and I had always heard that they were super sweet. I was surprised when UPS brought me a package of 2 cans of Red Bull to try. I shared the second with my little sister, which may have been a bad idea because she's hyper enough as it is. Needless to say, I actually liked the way it tasted.

Did somebody say GIVEAWAY?

If we can hit 75 followers by Tuesday night at midnight (CST) I will be doing a giveaway! So get the word out!
