Dial Coconut Water Refreshing Mango Product Review

Experience the Ultra Fresh Hydration of NEW Dial Coconut Water Refreshing Mango Body Wash!

Introducing NEW Dial Coconut Water Refreshing Mango body wash, the newest member of the Dial Coconut Water family. Dial Coconut Water Refreshing Mango is the first of its kind to contain coconut water and refreshing mango for clean, healthy and hydrated skin. Let the fresh hints of green coconut and tropical mango whisk your mind away to distant island shores without ever leaving the shower!

Coconut water is a leading trend known to be rich in antioxidants and electrolytes that help provide replenishing hydration. Mango is known for being nutrient rich and adds a touch of tropical freshness.

Before receiving this product to try, I had previously tried the original Dial Coconut Water body wash and loved it! The scent was very clean & refreshing. This Refreshing Mango fragrance is even BETTER!! I loved how tropical & fruity it was! (my fave scents are typically sweet and/or fruity so this was right up my alley!) It had the perfect strength, too. The fragrance lingered on my skin but it wasn't sickening sweet or overpowering. The lather was rich and plentiful, spread easily over my skin, and most importantly, rinsed easily AND completely! Using this product was a nice escape from my everyday stress. It was like stepping into my own personal tropical paradise. I haven't seen it in many stores yet but I was able to find it at Walmart Supercenter so if you are interested in trying it, that might be a good place to start. :)

Healthier Skin. Healthier You.

Purex Crystals Dryer Sheets - Lavender Blossom

30 DAYS OF LONG-LASTING FRESHNESS!

Take a deep breath & experience the freshness of Purex Crystals Dryer Sheets!

Who knew that one little sheet could do so much? Purex Crystals Dryer Sheets don't just reduce static cling and leave your family's laundry soft and smelling fresh, they can also keep your whole house smelling fresh! Choose your favorite fragrance (Fresh Spring Waters or Lavender Blossom) and tuck a sheet into hampers, linen closets, and any other laundry storage areas.

Use with your favorite Purex Crystals laundry enhancer for even MORE freshness for weeks!

-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.

Speaking of website, if you want to check out the products and learn more, you can visit http://gutsyproducts.com/products/

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!

Purex No Sort Laundry Detergent Product Review

THE RULES HAVE CHANGED!

NEW Purex No Sort for Colors detergent is the latest laundry innovation from the Purex brand designed to simplify your laundry routine. Purex No Sort for Colors detergent features a breakthrough Anti-Color Transfer Technology which traps loose dyes in the wash and reduces color bleeding accidents in your mixed color loads leaving your clothes bright and clean.

With regular detergent, dyes can bleed onto other fabrics in the wash.
Purex No Sort for Colors traps those loose dyes to reduce color bleeds and unhappy laundry days!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

Packed with innovation but not a miracle worker
Purex No Sort for Colors detergent is packed with innovation but it can't perform miracles, so please follow these words of advise: wash strongly colored fabrics or new pieces of clothing, especially jeans, separately at least 5 times before doing a mixed color load with Purex No Sort for Colors detergent.

Traps loose dyes
Introducing our new Anti-Color-Transfer Technology which traps loose dyes in the wash and does not let them settle onto other fabrics.

Reduces color bleeding accidents
Your typical color bleeding accident occurs when dyes bleed out of fibers and deposit onto your other garments, but new Anti-Color-Transfer Technology traps loose dyes in the wash, and does not let them settle onto other fabrics.

I have been using Purex products for several years now and am rarely disappointed. While this product didn't disappoint me, it didn't really blow me away either. I think the main reason is that I rarely have issues with color bleeding in the wash anyway. This would be great if that was a problem that you frequently experienced but I honestly didn't notice any difference in my clothing after using this products several times. The fact that you still have to wash new clothing items (especially jeans) separately kind of threw me for a loop because I assumed that you could just throw everything in there together. It is still a good product but when you take out the "no color bleeding" aspect (since that isn't a problem I typically have), the detergent is pretty ordinary. It still has a nice fresh, clean scent and got my laundry squeaky clean. I wouldn't expect any less when using a Purex product! :) However, I probably wouldn't buy it again in the future because I didn't really notice any major differences. I would opt for one of the detergents that had a more appealing scent or other benefit that was more relevant to me.

Purex Crystals Limited Edition Fabulously Fresh Product Review

Make laundry day Fabulously Fresh with NEW Purex Crystals Limited Edition Fabulously Fresh

NEW Purex Crystals Limited Edition Fabulously Fresh is the latest Purex Brand laundry enhancer bringing a fresh sensation to your laundry experience. This limited edition bottle and scent will add a colorful escape to your laundry day!

-Clothes smell Fabulously Fresh for weeks, not days
-Does not reduce the absorbency of towels
-Safe for all loads, including children's sleepwear and athletic wear

Here is a picture of the actual crystals. They are a very pretty green color, easy to pour from the bottle, and smell GREAT! The scent immediately fills the room when you add them to your washing machine. :)

WOW! That was my first impression when opening the bottle of Purex Crystals Limited Edition Fabulously Fresh in-wash scent booster. When given the choice, I always choose a "fresh" scent because it is appropriate for ALL loads of laundry. My husband isn't too crazy about the idea of girly, flowery smelling work clothes, LOL!!! He liked this scent just as much as I did. When you add it into your wash, the entire room is instantly filled with a clean, fresh scent. The scent stays on your clothing through the drying cycle and for several days AFTER laundry day. I love walking into my closet or opening a drawer and getting a waft of the Fabulously Fresh fragrance. So far, this is probably my favorite scent of Purex Crystals so it's a shame that it is a Limited Edition product. :( Hopefully enough people love it that they decide to make it a permanent part of their in-wash scent booster line!

I have read online that you can find this product in the fabric softener aisle at Walmart. (even though I haven't been able to find it yet in my local area) I will definitely keep looking because I LOVE the fresh scent of this product!

Disney Side @Home Celebration

I was selected to host a Disney Side @Home Celebration party and received this WONDERFUL package full of goodies to host my party with! (totally awesome, right?!)

The party kept getting pushed back but I finally had it at the end of February. I thought that I had already written the blog post but was reminded that I didn't when my friend, Corky, who took the pictures for the party, let me know that she was STILL working on getting those pictures to me. Grrr! (which I will upload and share hopefully this week once she sends them to me)

We had a pretty big party and invited about 35 people all together. We tied it in with my younger sister's birthday party (who is a HUGE Disney fan) so it was perfect timing! :) I used the cookie cutters and cupcake liners to make the desserts for the party and boy were they a huge hit!! They were gobbled up immediately. Must be because they turned out just so darn CUTE! All of the decorations were much appreciated and really helped everyone get in the Disney state of mind.

I used the cell phone case as a prize giveaway and handed out the Craisins, photo packs, bracelets, and other goodies to the guests when they were leaving. All of the kids left with a goodie bag, too! I bought some extra Disney themed items to go in the bags. Cute pencils, stickers, erasers, and other small toys!

We shared our experiences visiting Disney theme parks and really had a blast! There were many attendees that never visited any Disney parks before so the experience for them was extremely helpful! We were able to talk to them about what to expect, costs, what there is to do there, etc. It was a blast getting to share my love with Disney with everyone else. It is incredible how many stories everyone had to share about their own personal experiences with Disney, whether it be family vacations or just having a favorite movie. :)

Thank you so much for inviting me to host this party and check back for those pictures soon. (that means get on the ball, Corky!!!!!!!! lol)

-Vibrant scents
-Refreshing moisture
-Gentle micro-scrubbers

Vibrant scents that excite and inspire

Yellow Raspberry & Black Sugar refreshes your senses with a tart and rich sweetness.

A deep cleansing formula helps give you clean, healthy hands and skin.

Add a personal touch of style to your home.

A completely new bottle and design with rich colors lets you proudly display your favorite scent throughout your home.

I received two bottles of soap to try (Water Blossoms and Coconut Lime Verbena) and loved them both. Both were very refreshing and the fragrance lingered on my hands for a long time after washing. I absolutely loved how soft & smooth my hands felt after using this soap. The lather was gentle on my skin and washed away all dirt. The micro-scrubbers were awesome and really helped get my hands squeaky clean. I have been a Dial soap user for YEARS and will absolutely be buying these products regularly, as long as I can find them. My only complaint is the availability. I was only able to find these soaps at ONE Walmart store. I visited several Walmarts as well as CVS, Walgreens, and Food Lion and no one else carried them. I have yet to see the Yellow Raspberry & Black Sugar scent in any store. I will keep my eyes out for that one as it sounds right up my alley! :) The bottle design is great, too. Very sleek & stylish! For $1.97 a bottle (Walmart's price), I really feel like you are getting a steal!
