It has a biodegradable formula with a great scent that’s still good for sensitive skin. It’s hypoallergenic, dye-free, and includes the Purex Dirt Lift Action.

After washing my youngest son’s bedding in the Purex with Crystals detergent, my middle son wanted his bedding washed in the Purex Natural Elements Tropical Splash detergent. My middle son has asthma and I sometimes worry about using a product on his clothes and other belongings. This Tropical Splash scent however was subtle after it came out of the dryer. My son said he’s bed smelled fresh.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey giveaway and app

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey comes to Bluray and DVD on March 19, 2013. I know a lot people already know about The Hobbit but here is a brief synopsis of the movie:

J.R.R. Tolkien’s epic adventure follows the journey of Bilbo Baggins, who is swept into an amazing quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor from the fearsome dragon Smaug. Approached out of the blue by the wizard Gandalf the Grey, Bilbo finds himself joining a company of thirteen dwarves led by the legendary warrior, Thorin Oakenshield. Their journey will take them into the Wild; through treacherous lands swarming with Goblins and Orcs, deadly Wargs and Sorcerers.

From Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Peter Jackson comes “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey,” the first of a trilogy of films adapting the enduringly popular masterpiece The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien.

In anticipation of the blu-ray combo pack release and in partnership with Partnershub, they’ve created a fun app with The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey theme.

Purex detergent combines with Crystals, now that’s cool

I work with Purex as a member of the Purex Insiders. There are several reasons I love working with Purex. One of the biggest reasons is, they have awesome products that work AND don’t hurt your wallet. Purex is always adding new products, scents, and problem solvers.

Besides knowing that Purex offers an affordable laundry detergent that works, I also love their Purex Crystals softener. They also work wonderfully adding a lovely scent to my laundry while keeping clothes and bedding soft. So now Purex is offering Purex with Crystals Fragrance that contains fabric softener. Smart idea no?

Did you know that you could save up to $45 per year by using Purex with Crystals? It’s true, by using this detergent that has fabric softener already in it, you don’t need to buy a separate softener. This particular product also has Purex’s “Dirt Lift Action” In 2013 all Purex detergents will include the Dirt Lift Action. It works deep into clothes to get dirt out.

I used Purex with Crystals on my youngest son’s bed sheets. See he just got a big boy bed in his own big boy room. Unfortunately sometimes his overnight diapers leak and well….the sheets and things need a good cleaning. I thought this was a great opportunity to try out Purex with Crystals. It did a great job getting out the “leakage” and making his sheets smell nice and fresh.

As Purex does, they also have an awesome sweepstakes to accompany their new Purex with Crystals. You can enter to win $1000 AND a year supply of Purex Detergent plus fabric softener. 500 2nd place winners will get to try this smart detergent for free.

Heal and Protect Dry Skin with Carmex: review and giveaway

Did you know that Carmex lip balm was invented in 1937? It’s true. Carmex lip balms are also the #1 Pharmacist recommended lip balms. I think for a company to be around that long and still be relevant, they must be doing something right.

Within the last few years, Carmex has also added skin care products to their selection of products. Makes sense doesn’t it? A company that makes lip balms to heal and protect lips also has products to heal and protect skin.

Even though it’s mid-March, here in South Central PA, winter just does not want to give up. Our local news station says we’re supposed to get a “squall” on Saturday that could bring 5 inches of snow possibly. Yuck. Of all the reasons I’m tired of winter, one of them is because of what it does to my skin. My skin gets so dry and itchy and starts to feel tight even. Carmex Healing Lotion and Carmex Healing Cream help me with that problem.

Both products are non-greasy and have a light scent that puts me in mind of baby powder a little bit. The Healing Lotion contains aloe and vitamin E. The Healing Cream has 9 healing ingredients for very dry and rough skin. I’ve also been using it on my baby bump to help combat itchiness from the belly growing.

Carmex also sent me a soft and warm Carmex zip up hoodie. I thought this might be a good opportunity to give a bump picture too.

Here’s “the bump” at 37 weeks and 2 days. Hopefully not too much longer. I can’t wait to meet my baby girl. Loving this hoodie right now too. I’m constantly cold and at this point I just want to wear whatever is comfortable and this hoodie truly is.

You can find Carmex on twitter: @Carmex
and on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/carmexlipbalm

Almondina Brand biscuits a healthier snack choice

Almondina brand cookies are a “Delicious Cookie Without The Guilt” Why no guilt? Almondina is all natural, no cholesterol, free of colorings and preservatives, they add no salt or fat, only 30 calories per cookie, kosher and non-dairy.

Almondina cookies come in a delicious variety of flavors to include:

–Original
–Chocolate Cherry
–Choconut
–Cinnaroma
–Gingerspice
–Almonduo has almonds and pistachios, yum
–AnniversaryT includes a taste of anise
–BranTreats made with oat bran and cinnamon
–Sesame
–Seasonal Pumpkin Spice

and the newest flavors include

–Chocolate dipped original
–Delights the original Almondina in milk chocolate
–Yogurt dipped which are BranTreats with one side dipped in yogurt

Each Almondina cookie is packed with roasted almonds. I wanted to take a picture of one of the cookies to show you that it’s not an almond here or there but whole almond slivers you can see.

This particular one is the original flavor with raisins and almonds. Almondina is different than biscotti because you don’t need to dip it to enjoy it. It’s definitely good with a glass of milk or a cup or tea or coffee but I’ve been snacking on these at different times of the day on their own too. I received a variety of flavors. They were all so tasty. I’m partial to chocolate so the Choconut and Chocolate Cherry were definitely a treat but I also tried the Original, Cinnaroma, Gingerspice, and Sesame as well. Each one with their own unique taste but all yummy.

There are so many ways to enjoy them. You can spread cream cheese on them, with yogurt, crumbled over ice cream, just about anything you can think of.

You can read a bit about how the Almondina cookie came about from a grandmother’s secret recipe .

You can find Almondina on facebook and on twitter @Almondina

Almondina cookies can be found nationwide at Publix, Giant Eagle, Walmart, Whole Foods and many more stores. For a complete list check out the Almondina store finder.
