Purex Natural Elements Review and Giveaway (Ends 4/4)

Surprise! I have another Purex product to tell you about!

Purex recently sent me a bottle of NEW Purex Natural Elements Tropical Splash detergent to try and tell you about. And I couldn’t wait to try it. When I received my bottle of Purex Natural Elements Tropical Splash I could not wait to open it to smell the fragrance since I LOVE tropical smells. So, I took the bottle out of the box and tried and tried to open it, thinking, “Is this some kind of childproof cap?” Then I realized it was taped shut. I had to work hard for that first sniff. And it was worth it! I would almost consider wearing this stuff in place of my perfume. Yes, it smells that good! And it really makes me want a pina colada!

Purex is giving us the chance to escape the ordinary with New Purex Natural Elements Tropical Splash detergent. How exciting! Now we can take a vacation to a tropical island without ever leaving our laundry room! You know how happy that makes me because it is such a frugal vacation. Ha!

"But does it clean the laundry?” you ask. Of course it does…it is Purex. New Purex Natural Elements Tropical Splash Detergent has the same great cleaning power that you have come to expect from the Purex line with its powerful DirtLift Action.

As part of Purex’s #1 selling Natural Elements brand, this detergent delivers the Bright, White, and Clean you expect from Purex, but with naturally sourced ingredients. Purex Natural Elements Tropical Splash offers natural fragrance extracts providing a great scent and a formula gentle enough for sensitive skin. What’s more, the biodegradable formula promotes green cleaning practices. And I know we are all trying to be a little bit more green, right?

To help celebrate the launch of their Tropical Splash Detergent, Purex is teaming up with Honey Bunches of Oats and Outrigger Hotels and Resorts to host the Tropical Trio Sweepstakes.

One super lucky grand prize winner is going to receive a 4 night stay for two at Outrigger Waikiki on the Beach. What an amazing prize! In addition 5 winners will receive a one-year supply of Purex Natural Elements Tropical Splash Detergent and Honey Bunches of Oats Tropical Blends.

*As a Purex Insider, I received a bottle of New Purex Natural Elements Tropical Splash so I could review it. However all of the opinions expressed here are, as always, my own.

I'm getting an Aldi on April 11!!

WooHoo!

I have been stalking the Aldi Facebook page, as well as the store, and they finally said that MY Aldi will be opening on April 11!! I am SOOOOOOO excited!

I told Hubby to be watching the mail as SonyaAnn said she got coupons in the mail before hers opened. I said, you know what you do if we get some? He said, "Dig in the trash barrel for more?" He is such a good boy!!!

I am thinking about taking that day off just to go to Aldi. Am I nuts or what?

Congrats to the winners and thanks for entering!

Goodbye,Winter.

Oh, wait, were you ever here? Here is what the hedges at at my park and ride parking lot looked like on the last day of Winter. We have have flowers blooming for months and pollen is everywhere. (Why does my voice recognition software interpret with the word pollen as "porn"?)

Apparently, we have had the mildest Winter ever. I wish we had some colder weather. I really envy you all that had a real Winter.

For everyone bemoaning snow, just be glad you are not suffering our early allergy season with record-breaking pollen levels.

Winners of the Dial Coconut Body Wash are....

Older and wiser?....Maybe so...

Last week, Meredith celebrated her 27th birthday. Yes, she is 27 now! It is hard to believe. But it does not make me feel old, as I have only been a mom for 15 1/2 years. LOL!

We didn't get to see her until this past Sunday when she, Theo, Wyatt, Samantha and her bf, Nile, and Bob's mom came over and we all went out to eat at Johnny Tamale. It is a Mexican food place and the food is okay. Of course, even okay Mexican food is better than no Mexican food. LOL! And it really was good. It is just that there are cheaper places around here with better food. But Meredith chose, so that is where we went.

Here is a pic of Theo singing happy birthday to Meredith. Doesn't she look attentive? Wyatt is on Meredith's left.

Here is a pic of Wyatt smiling. Oh, wait, he is ALWAYS smiling.The white haired lady is Hubby's mom and the cutie pie face on the right is Hubby.

I only got a few pics and didn't use a flash, so they were not that good. But, oh well.

Hubby gave Theo and Wyatt a new Hot Wheels car each. I told them to not let aunt Sammy see them as she likes to eat them. Then showed them the pic below (this is at another restaurant when we ate with Jacob a few weeks ago.).

She chased them around outside wanting to eat their cars. She is obliging that way.

Yes, we are a goofy family.

Is it Spring yet?

I have continued to drive past MY new Aldi, regularly, since I found out that it would BE an Aldi. I am so ready for it to open!

I did hear on the news that our area Aldis will be opening in April. I am almost salivating.

Dial Coconut Water Body Wash Review and Giveaway

New Dial Coconut Water Body Wash is the first of its kind to contain coconut water for clean, healthy, hydrated skin. Let the fresh hints of green, floral and coconut which your mind away to distant island shores without ever leaving the shower.

Coconut water is found in young, green coconuts and known to be rich in antioxidants and electrolytes that provide replenishing hydration. A leading trend in the food and beverage category, coconut water is known as “super water” for its natural hydration and health benefits. Dial understands how hard it can be to lead a healthy lifestyle. With Dial Coconut Water Body Wash, Dial can help you along the path to healthier skin.

I recently received a bottle of Dial Coconut Water Body Wash to try, and I really like it! I have to tell you, I am not a big body wash fan. Oh, sure, several years ago when body wash first started being sold, I jumped on the bandwagon just like everyone else. But it didn't take me long to realize that bar soap lasts a LOT longer than body wash does....when you have kids. Oh, don't feel like I abused my kids by making them use bar soap. The horror!! No, I got them body wash...on sale, with coupons. But Hubby and I were just as happy to use bar soap. No, I was not abusing Hubby...it was his preference. He could have, and still could, use body wash if he wanted.

So, we are bar soap fans.

But when I received a bottle of Dial Coconut Water Body Wash, I certainly was willing to use it. And I really like it! It smells delicious! I don't smell coconut at all, but it does have a tropical scent to it. And the lather! It is rich and luxurious and after I get finished with body washing my body, my bathtub looks like I used bubble bath.Yes, it makes that much lather. Maybe I am using too much on my pouf. Oh, well.

And it is very mosterizing. My skin feels really nice after using it. And the best part, for me, is that it does not make our bathtub slick like some moisterizing body washes do. I don't know that it makes me feel like I am doing something healthy for my body, but it is a nice body wash.

Thank you, Kroger, for your heart-warming response.

Not.

I sent a copy of my Kroger rant blog post to Kroger customer service. Here was the response I received:

I feel so much better. Don't you?

FYI, I have not gone to Kroger since the trip I ranted about. Hubby has gone a couple of times, but not me.

AND I heard on the news our Aldi will open in April. I can't wait!

Soft Scrub Total All Purpose Review and Giveaway.

As a Purex Insider, I have gotten to test and review some great products and recently I received another one, Soft Scrub Total All Purpose Bath & Kitchen Cleanser. I have used Soft Scrub for years and really love it. It is so easy to use and does such a great job. So, I was thrilled to get to try the new Soft Scrub Total All Purpose.

New Soft Scrub Total All Purpose Bath & Kitchen Cleanser is tough on stains, yet gentle on surfaces. The new improved formula has more whitening power and less residue, for better rinsing. That means better cleaning and and faster rinsing for your tile, grout, sinks and tubs.

I am all about anything that makes cleaning in the bathroom faster. I don't have to do cleaning in the kitchen, as Hubby takes care of that, but as wonderful as he is, he does not love to clean the bathroom. LOL! Look at that....he is NOT perfect like you all thought.

When I was young, my mom had a trick to get the bathtub cleaned. After she took a bath, she would wipe the tub down with Comet while it was still wet. Then she would leave it to dry until the next person took a bath. LOL! That person had to do a little scrubbing to get the dried comet cleaned off the tub or you sat in a gritty bath. I really hated cleaning the tub. But Mom was pretty smart!

With new Soft Scrub Total All Purpose Bath & Kitchen Cleanser, cleaning the bathtub is much less of a chore than using dry cleanser. The new bottle and cap design make dispensing it easy to use and the fresh lemon scent is delicious! Hey, if you have to clean in the bathroom, you might as well enjoy it a little. And who doesn't love a fresh smelling bathroom? And kitchen, too!

Soft Scrub® is proud to introduce the One Surface at A Time® Sweepstakes featuring Soft Scrub® Total All Purpose! One lucky grand prize winner will receive $1,000 and a year's supply of Soft Scrub, while 250 second place winners will receive free Soft Scrub.
