I have been a HUGE Disney fan my entire life so I am super excited about this collection!

It brings back so many happy memories and hopefully it will for you, too. :)

Purex UltraPacks plus Oxi Product Review - LOVE this product!

Introducing NEW Purex UltraPacks - now with the stain fighting power of OXI!

NEW Purex UltraPacks plus Oxi combines the convenience of easy-to-use Purex UltraPacks with the stain fighting power of Oxi.

The Purex UltraPacks plus Oxi formula is so powerful; it works to fight over 101 of your tough stains! The concentrated DirtLift Action formula has 2X the cleaning power in every drop, leaving your clothes so bright, white, and clean, people will start to take notice. Which stains will you tackle next?

Purex makes it easy to fight stains while maintaining a simple laundry routine. Purex UltraPacks plus Oxi contain a full load's worth of concentrated liquid detergent and dissolve quickly once you add them to your laundry. No more measuring, no more mess, just toss in and go!

Purex UltraPacks plus Oxi offer the cleaning power you've come to expect from Purex at a value you can't pass up. The Purex plus Oxi formula helps fight tough stains while saving you money! In fact, the average family could save over $45 a year by using Purex UltraPacks plus Oxi! Who knew saving money could be so simple?

My experience with this product was AWESOME! I have come to expect high quality from Purex products so I had high expectations for this product, too. I love detergent packs because they are so easy & convenient to use. You don't have to worry about measuring any messy liquids; you just grab one detergent pack out of the package and pop it in the washer! VERY simple and hassle free which helps save me time. Most importantly, this product WORKS! It really does an amazing job at tackling stains, even ones that are typically hard to remove such as grease, blood, and tomato sauce. The fragrance of the Purex UltraPacks plus Oxi is clean & refreshing. It isn't overpowering and doesn't have a strong chemical smell like other detergents that contain extra stain removers. There was just the right amount of suds in the washing machine, too, which is also very important. Overall, I had a great experience with this product and would highly recommend it, just like I would most Purex products that I have tried. You get the same (if not better) cleaning capabilities that you would with other more expensive brands at a fraction of the price. Excellent product at a great price!

SAFETY FIRST! Remember to use caution when handling single load laundry detergents. Laundry detergent packs may be harmful if swallowed and can be an eye irritant. Be sure to keep products in the original container and pay close attention to any cautionary statements or icons on the label. As you would with any household detergent, be sure to keep out of reach of children.

Purex Fels-Naptha laundry bar Product Review

Over 100 years fighting America's toughest stains!

Purex Fels-Naptha is a laundry bar that works overtime to remove your toughest stains. No matter what the stain is, a bar of Fels-Naptha can clean up the mess!

Say farewell to tough stains for good! It's even easy to use! Simply rub the stain with a wet bar of Purex Fels-Naptha and wait a couple of minutes. Then wash your clothes as you normally would and say farewell to tough stains for goof. See for yourself why America has trusted this powerful stain remover for over 100 years!

Remove stains their first time through the wash:

*Pretreats dozens of stains and is safe on colors
*Great for dirt, grease and ring-around-the-collar
*Easy to use and more effective than spray

This product has been around since 1994. Both my Mom and Grandma used it so I was interested to try it myself. I wasn't sure about wetting the bar and rubbing out the stain. It just wasn't what I was used to since I have been using either a spray or stick product for so long. I tried this product on several stains (kitchen grease, dirt from working in the yard, grass, etc) and each one was easily & completely removed from the clothing. I'll admit, I was impressed. I had visions of chunks of the product breaking off while rubbing out the stain but that never happened. This product is VERY affordable, too. I know you can purchase it at Walmart for a little over $1 per bar. If you haven't tried it yet and want a different way to remove stains, I would recommend it. It's simple, easy to use, and there are no fancy frills or gimmicks. It's a great stain remover and seems like it's going to last a long time!

Soft Scrub Mold & Mildew Stain Remover Product Review

A New, More Gentle Solution to Mold & Mildew Stains!



NEW Soft Scrub Mold & Mildew Stain Remover is a unique spray gel that is tough on stains and gentle on surfaces.

Unlike other spray bleach cleaners that produce a fine mist of bleach vapors, Soft Scrub Mold & Mildew Stain Remover is a thick gel that clings to bathroom surfaces to penetrate and remove tough stains without harsh fumes or overspray. This gel with bleach is packed full of stain-fighting AND whitening power!

Grout got you down? This stain remover is perfect for cleaning tile, grout, tubs, and showers, along with many other surfaces in your bathroom. Whether you are doing a quick spot cleaning or a top-to-bottom cleaning session, this is the product for you!

Soft Scrub knows that you take pride in a job well done. Make Soft Scrub Mold & Mildew Stain Remover part of your solution to attain an uncompromised clean!

I actually LOVED this product. It worked REALLY well at removing those tough shower/tub stains. We don't have any tile in our bathrooms so I couldn't try it on that. However, I did clean both of our tubs/showers where mildew ALWAYS seems to sneak up on us even though we clean them regularly! There is caulking around the faucets in both tubs that gets kind of gross. I sprayed this product on there and it got rid of ALL of the yucky spots! The smell is a little strong so I decided to open the windows in the bathroom. I didn't find the smell to be overpowering or intolerable. I was just going to be doing other cleaning in there so I thought the window would help air it out. The bathroom smelled VERY clean after using this product and our showers both looked shiny and spotless! I LOVED the gel consistency and thought it was much more effective than regular liquid spray cleaners. I will definitely be adding this one to my cleaning routine! :)

Rod Stewart - Time Album Review

Rod Stewart has spent four decades being a rock star, three being a parent, and has a new album's worth of rollicking stories to tell. Time is his first album of new material in almost 20 years (and his hairstyle hasn't changed one bit!) Before I begin, I want to let everyone know that I was sent a copy of this CD from One2One Network to give my review of it. All opinions here are still my own and not influenced by my campaign participation in any way. With that being said, let's talk about the CD! :)



Time, released on May 7th 2013, marks Stewart's long-awaited return to his songwriting roots and features 12 tracks, 11 of which he wrote and produced. The album was born from a burst of inspiration that came while Rod was reviewing his life for his recent memoir. Rod rediscovered his voice as a songwriter and rekindled his gift for writing the honest, nerve-touching narratives that have been the cornerstone to the first three decades of his career. Since 1991, Stewart the lyricist and melodist behind such staples as "Tonight's the Night", "You Wear It Well", "You're in My Heart", "The Killing of Georgie" and the indelible "Maggie May", had simply lost his songwriting muse. But, beginning in 2011, during the period he began working on what would become his internationally best-selling autobiography, Rod, it returned.

"Suddenly ideas for lyrics were piling up in my head," he says. "Next thing I knew, I had a song called 'It's Over' about divorce and separation. And now I was getting up in the middle of the night and scrambling for a pen to write things down, which has never happened to me. I finished seven or eight songs very quickly and I still wasn't done, and it became apparent that I would eventually have a whole album of material to record."

Here is the full track listing for this album:

1. She Makes Me Happy
2. Can’t Stop Me Now
3. It’s Over
4. Brighton Beach
5. Beautiful Morning
6. Live The Life
7. Finest Woman
8. Time
9. Picture In A Frame
10. Sexual Religion
11. Make Love To Me Tonight
12. Pure Love

You can pick up his album now; I would recommend either iTunes or Amazon. Direct links are provided below. :)

Amazon
iTunes

Along with the release of Time, Stewart is set to embark on the European leg of his Live the Life tour on June 1st, while American dates with Steve Winwood will kick off October 17th.

I actually thought that this was a really great album. I have listened to Rod Stewart's music for several years, on and off, and I was quite surprised and impressed with this album. There weren't ANY songs that I disliked. My favorite songs were probably "Pure Love" and "Can't Stop Me Now" because they were so incredibly real and heartfelt. If you are a fan of Rod Stewart's and had been disappointed that he had given up on songwriting, CHECK OUT THIS ALBUM! You won't be disappointed. I think it is one of his best albums YET and feel that he is back, maybe even better than before!
