-30 days of long-lasting freshness
-Reduces static cling
-Repels pet hair and lint

I received this product to try a few weeks ago and it hasn't lost its fragrance ONE BIT! I received a sample box of this product to try from Purex Insiders and when it was delivered, I opened our front door and could smell the product through the cardboard box, lol. Needless to say, if you don't like a strong fragrance, you probably won't like this product. I will be honest, I'm not a big fan of lavender so at first, I was thinking, "Yikes! I really don't want my whole house, all of our laundry, and everything else smelling like this!" While it still isn't my favorite fragrance, I can't say that I dislike it either. If given the choice, I would definitely buy the Fresh Spring Waters fragrance because it is more clean & refreshing while the Lavender Blossom is a lot more floral than I typically like.

I will say, though, that these dryer sheets do an AWESOME job of reducing static cling and leaving a long-lasting fragrance on your laundry. I have done all kinds of loads - clothing, pet beds, towels, bedding, you name it! Everything was left with a nice fragrance and it really does last a LONG time! It also doesn't leave any residue on my laundry which is critical. Some fabric softeners and/or dryer sheets leave that slick feeling on your laundry and to me, that isn't acceptable. My clothes feel soft, smell fresh, and are static free!

I have also been using these dryer sheets in other areas of the house. We have a small garbage can that we line with bags for scooping the cat box. I keep one dryer sheet on the bottom of the can underneath the plastic bag to prevent it from smelling bad. I also stuff the used dryer sheets in my drawers and closet for an extra boost of fragrance. :) I would definitely buy this product but would opt for the Fresh Spring Waters fragrance. That is just a matter of personal preference, though. The product WORKS fantastically and does exactly what I need it to do! Yet another great product added to the Purex line!

Gutsy Chewy Product Review - very impressed!

I was selected to try this product, Gutsy Chewy, from Moms Meet. I was sent product samples to try out and review on my blog. I couldn't have been chosen to try a product that was any MORE appropriate for me. Everyone that knows me knows that I am always having digestive upsets and issues. Nothing major but it seems that so many foods don't agree with me any more. Needless to say, I was actually EXCITED to try this product! Other products work but they can either take a long time to start working or taste terrible. (or both!) I was intrigued by this concept and couldn't wait to try it!

This is a picture of the Gutsy Chewy packaging. I love that it is so portable and small enough to fit in my purse without taking up a ton of space. You can fit a tube of these just about anywhere which makes them super convenient.



Now on to the good stuff... what IS Gutsy Chewy exactly? This product description is taken directly from the Gutsy Chewy website. Where else to get all of the juicy facts about the product? It gives you all of the basics in a nutshell!

All natural Gutsy products promote oral and digestive health with a proprietary blend of nature’s remedies: papain (papaya), licorice root and apple cider vinegar. Gutsy Chewy is gluten-free, lactose-free and vegan-friendly. Use it to help eliminate that queasy, uneasy, refluxy feeling with GutBurn and GutBloat after eating. Go from GutBurn and GutBloat to GutGood with Gutsy.

So, what did I actually think of Gutsy Chewy? I loved it! I have used several tablets over the past few weeks and was impressed with how fast and effective they are. The taste is very pleasant and not chalky. The problem I have with some products such as Tums and Rolaids is that I can't stand the taste. To me, they are just like eating fruit flavored chalk sticks. Gutsy Chewy has a nice texture and a very pleasant Wildberry or Citrus flavor. (your choice) I also really like that the tablets are scored so that you can cut them if you only wanted to take 1/2 of one instead of a whole one. I have done this, too, and they are very easy to cut. No crumbling whatsoever! I just put the other half back in the container to use on another occasion. Here is what one of the tablets looks like close up:



They are larger tablets but since you don't have to swallow them whole, it isn't a problem at all. I even let my Dad try some because he is worse than me when it comes to digestive problems. He liked both flavors and said they worked quickly, usually within 10-15 minutes. For me, I could normally start feeling relief in around 10 minutes. That is perfect for those occasions when you are chowing down on your favorite foods and then awhile later start to regret it. Yikes! Gutsy Chewy to the rescue! I would definitely recommend this product and hope to see more products get introduced to this line in the future. :) Thank you for giving me the opportunity to sample this product and share the word on how awesome it is!
