Purex PowerShot Product Review

Purex PowerShot detergent does the measuring for you! No more guesswork!



NEW Purex PowerShot detergent simplifies the laundry routine by taking the guesswork out of measuring. Purex PowerShot is the only bottle that automatically dispenses the right amount of super concentrated formula with 50% more stain fighting power in every drop.

EASY TO USE

Just open the cap, flip the bottle upside down to deliver one super concentrated dose of detergent. Flip the bottle back upright and you are done! The PowerShot engine automatically refills and is ready for the next dose.

JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT

The built-in auto-dosing technology in the bottle does the measuring for you so there's no waste and results in a perfect clean EVERY time!

-Use 1 flip for regular loads
-Use 2 flips for large or extra dirty loads

FRAGRANCE YOU LOVE

Purex PowerShot is available in our two most popular fragrances - Mountain Breeze and Natural Elements Linen & Lilies.

I was really excited to try this product as I love products that are convenient and save me time. This sounded so simple to use and I loved the idea of not having to measure detergent, screw on a messy cap, etc. I did notice that this product leaked a little around the cap. (this could be because of the shipping, though?) I had to really rinse the bottle a few times to get all the detergent/slimy feeling off of it. I definitely plan on picking up another bottle when I see this in the store to see if this was just a fluke due to shipping. The product itself did work as expected. One flip for regular loads, 2 flips for larger ones. Easy peasy! I was having a somewhat lava lamp like experience watching the cap fill and then drip back down into the bottle, LOL! I received the Mountain Breeze scent to try. PERFECT for me because that is one of my favorite scents anyway! Double score! The detergent itself did a GREAT job of cleaning my laundry and removing stains. (which to me is more important than the bottle itself) The "PowerShot" feature was cool, though. Pouring detergent was never a really big deal for me but sometimes it could get a little messy. I like to fill the cap, pour it into my washing machine, and then rinse while the water is running. Sometimes the cap would drip down the bottle and leave it feeling slimy. Maybe I am just a sloppy laundry beast, LOL. The Purex PowerShot definitely prevents that since you just flip the bottle, pour, and that's it! No guessing and no mess! If you live a busy lifestyle or just like to try out convenience products, I would consider trying this one. It's even kind of fun to use and as always, the detergent itself ROCKS!!!

As for where you can buy this product, I haven't seen it in any of our local stores yet but I would keep checking Walmart as I'm sure they will probably be the first to have it. :) If you would like additional information or want to check out the store locator for other Purex detergent products, you can go here: http://www.purex.com/products/laundry-detergents/purex-powershot-detergent/

Purex Crystals Aromatherapy Product Review

Celebrate your life with the NEW Purex Crystals Aromatherapy Well Being, Energy & Serenity scents!



Come experience the NEW Purex Crystals Aromatherapy in-wash scent boosters and stimulate your life with peaceful bliss and boundless spirit with these soothing aromas!

-Express your mood with each unique aroma
-Energizing & long lasting scent infusion
-Citrus & floral scents blended with essentials oils

Here is a picture of the actual crystals. They are a very bright yellow color (I was sent the Energy fragrance to sample), easy to pour from the bottle, and smell FANTASTIC! The scent immediately fills the room when you add them to your washing machine. :)



I was super excited to sample this product. I wasn't sure which scent I would be sent to try. There are 3 different ones - Energy (citrus), Well Being (floral), and Serenity (fresh). I received a bottle of the Energy fragrance and was THRILLED! I love citrusy scents and this one definitely didn't disappoint. When you add it into your wash, the entire room is instantly filled with a, energizing, citrus 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 this fragrance.

As for where you can buy this product, I have seen it in several Walmart Supercenters so far so if you are interested in trying it, I would start there. It is in the aisle with the other laundry products & scent boosters.

Kupp' Product Review - SO CUTE!!



So, what is Kupp' anyway?

The Kupp' is an innovative way to allow young children the opportunity to drink from their own personalized glass. Each glass is made in Europe then outfitted with a colorful silicone sleeve. Our glasses are recyclable and certified lead and cadmium free. The silicone sleeve is medical and food grade silicone, is BPA/BPS free, and is produced by ISO certified manufacturers.

Why should I choose Kupp'?

The Kupp' gives children the gift of color and the benefits of a glass. By offering a color connection to their glassware, young children begin the early lessons of locating, using, cleaning and storing their belongings, or in this case, their Kupp'. By bringing the fun and wonderfully designed Kupp' into the house, parents can begin to step away from the ongoing task of organizing their child's daily routine. Bring a little Kupp' into your lift!



Some interesting facts about Kupp'. Please check them out, especially if you aren't familiar with the product!

*The Kupp’ is a six-ounce glass outfitted with a colorful silicone sleeve. It’s designed for kids ages 3-10.
*The firm grip and silicon sleeve helps to protect the glass from damage while providing a safe, toxic free vessel to drink from.
*The Kupp’ comes in four vibrant colors that represent the environment: blue for water, green for earth, orange for the sun, and red for warmth.
*The Kupp’ is the perfect serving size for children, and allows them to become more conscious of waste and consumption.
*The Kupp’ is made in the USA using imported glass, and all materials are sourced from environmentally-friendly manufacturers that adhere to EU and US regulations.
*All glass is recyclable, certified lead and cadmium free, and is made from a pure soda-lime formula. It is also dishwasher safe, up to 120 degrees!
*The grip-friendly silicon sleeve is BPA/BPS free and made with medical and food grade silicon to prevent damage. The sleeve does not have to be removed when washing, which makes cleaning your Kupp’ very simple.
*The adorable Kupp’ is designed to resemble a smile so kids are naturally attracted to it!
*The retail price of the Kupp’ is $16.99 each.

The Kupp' line is just so WONDERFUL! I love that these cups are both functional AND stylish. The colors are just so vibrant and bright - perfect to grab little ones attention. :) The silicone sleeve makes the cup very easy for a small child to hold and drink from. It's also AWESOME that Kupp' products are environmentally friendly! These would make great gifts, too, especially for a little one that was transitioning from a sippy cup to a "big kid" cup.

Zevia Zero Calorie Soda Product Review



Zevia is the original naturally sweetened, zero calorie soda with no sugar and no artificial sweeteners. This tasty treat comes in 15 familiar, favorite flavors including Cola, Black Cherry, Cream Soda, Grapefruit Citrus and Ginger Ale. Consider it the smarter soda go-to for you and your family. Zero calories, naturally sweetened and delicious; Zevia is the soda trifecta of awesomeness!

First, I want to start off by showing you the assortment of awesome Zevia products that I was sent to review. Zevia was MORE than generous as there was PLENTY for me to share with my group, friends, and family members. :)



Some interesting facts about Zevia. Please check them out, especially if you aren't familiar with the product!

•Zevia Zero Calorie Soda is sweetened naturally with a unique blend of high purity Stevia (grown right here in the US!) and Monk Fruit.
•Zevia comes in 15 different flavors, including Ginger Root Beer, Strawberry, Cherry Cola, and many more.
•This soda contains no calories, sugar or artificial sweeteners.
•No worries! It’s totally Kosher, Vegan, and Gluten-Free!
•The retail price for a 6-pack of Zevia ranges from $3.99 to $5.99.

I shared the samples with my group so we all got to try all the different flavors. The reviews were mixed. Some people liked it, others didn't. I am used to the taste of diet beverages because that is pretty much all that I drink. Maybe I just don't notice that aftertaste that everyone else seems to taste. There is a slight aftertaste with Zevia but to me, it is very mild. Several of my group members commented that they liked the flavor at first but were then hit with a medicinal/aspirin-like aftertaste. Everyone has different preferences but I thought the product was tasty and something that I would definitely buy in the future. My favorite was the Ginger Root Beer! YUM! I didn't notice any aftertaste with that one. :) This is certainly a healthier alternative to sugary, calorie packed sodas. If you or your kids love that bubbly goodness but don't want to pack on the calories and sugar, give Zevia a try! :)

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.
