Giveaway! Purex Dryer Sheets Review and Giveaway

~I was sent this product for review. All opinions are my own and no other compensation was given.~

I don't use dryer sheets for every load I do. I don't use them with cloth diapers because they are a no-no and I don't usually use them with Eleanor's clothes, but I love how they make my towels smell and the subtle scent they leave on out clothes.

But I love Purex products and so when given the opportunity to try the new Purex Crystals Dryer Sheets I was on board with it.

Lavender Blossom

I didn't have to open the box these were shipped in to smell them. Actually my first impression was that they were really strong and it turned me off a little. Then I opened the shipping box to see that the dryer sheet box had come open and I'm sure that was the reason they had such a strong odor.

Once the laundry was dry I could still smell fragrance, but it was faint. I might be strange, but I actually think I might use two because I kind of like that fresh smell and fragrances have never bothered me. I'd only do this if I was just washing my clothes or towels because I'm not so sure Rob wants to go to work smelling like Lavender Blossoms.

I think that smell/scent issue aside they did what they are made to do. My towels and shirts felt softer and I didn't have to peel them apart to fold and put them away. I even stuffed some into my sheets when I put those away so the next time I make the bed the smell should be there and make crawling into a freshly made bed (which is one of the best feelings) so much more enjoyable.

GIVEAWAY TIME:

I have two coupons to giveaway to try these new dryer sheets. I'm going to make this one easy and all you have to do is leave me a comment (and your email address) answering the following question. What is your favorite non traditional way to use dryer sheets? For example, I've used them along the baseboards to repel dust.

Giveaway will end at 11:59 pm on 5/8/14 and is open to US only. Winners will have 48 hours to respons.

Dial Soap Review PLUS giveaway

I was provided with a sample in order to facilitate this review. All opinions, however, are my own.

As a new mom I change a lot of diapers, and that means a lot of hand washing. My hands end up getting so dry that they hurt. They itch and/or crack and bleed.

It's a problem that is worse in the winter because of the general dryness in the air. I think it's a problem that is inevitable, but products that minimize it are always helpful.

I was sent water blossoms and yellow raspberry and black sugar scents from their new deep cleansing line of hand soap.

My first thoughts were 1) I was not sure how the yellow raspberry and black sugar was going to smell and 2) I was going to totally coordinate the water blossom with my bathroom (my bathroom is blue).

But I was surprised to really enjoy the yellow raspberry and black sugar scent. I liked it much more than the water blossoms (which I didn't mind; it smelled like water lily's to me).

The smell wasn't overpowering, but lingered on my hands and I liked that.

The hand soaps also have gentle micro-scubbers to help moisturize the skin.

Maybe it's just winter ending, and the air not being as try, but the soap really did help. I know soap isn't exciting, but I did really like this soap and would use it and even purchase it again.

Disclaimer: My counter is normally not this clean. Lol

2 winners will each win a coupon for free dial soap. Open to US only. Winners have 48 hours to respond before new winners will be chosen.

Purex Make-A-Wish & Win!

* I received a coupon to purchase a product for review. All opinions are my own*

I've been a fan of Purex for a long time. If you look in my laundry room (which I'm hoping you don't because it's in the basement and has been a little neglected; that means some cobwebs are hanging around), you will see many Purex products. I use the baby detergent for Eleanor's clothes, the free and clear version for ours & dryer sheets for our bedding and towels. I also have a few other stain fighting products as well.

If you are local to a Meijer store it's on sale this week!

I was given the chance to try the Mountain Breeze scent recently. Now I mentioned that I normally use the free and clear version so that if I need to I can throw Eleanor's things in with ours, but I do love the smell of a clean batch of laundry. I know I've also mentioned before that I actually don't mind laundry (dishes are another story).

Clean laundry!

I used this on a load of Rob & I's clothes and it was a nice change to have clothes that smelled fresh and clean. I didn't feel as if it was to over powering as some scents can be.
