Natural Fabric Softener, Woolzies

**I received the below mentioned product at no cost in order to complete an honest review. Any opinions expressed are my own. No other compensation has been received**

Are you looking for an eco-friendly alternative to fabric softeners? Do you need a fabric softener that is good for your sensitive skin? Woolzies XL Dryer Balls are a good option for you.

What are Woolzies? Woolzies are handmade balls made from New Zealand wool. Each dryer ball is handmade, not mass produced. Woolzies act as a fabric softener for your clothes so you don’t need to use dryer sheets or liquid fabric softener.

Did you know that many liquid fabric softeners and dryer sheets contain chemicals that can negate the fire retardant qualities in children’s and adult’s clothing as well and reduce absorbency in towels. I think I had heard about the fire retardant fact before but didn’t know about the towel thing. Since Woolzies contain no chemicals they are safe to use on this type of clothing and towels as well as the rest of your laundry.

I was skeptical about using these. I do like my dryer sheets, and honestly I love using a scented product but I gave them a go anyway. I used them to wash my boys bed clothes.

One claim I found interesting is they say that they can reduce drying time by 25-30%. They say it’s because they naturally separate and create spaces between your laundry items allowing the hot air to circulate between them. I guess that makes sense since these things were about the size of a softball each. Woolzies are supposed to be good for at least 1000 loads of laundry too. AND if you’re like me and really do enjoy some scent in your laundry there’s an option for that. After your laundry is completely dried, take 2 of the Woolzies balls and apply some pure essential oil to them. Toss them back in the dryer and let it run on air fluff for 10 min.

I was actually impressed with how soft my boys’ bed clothes turned out. Another thing I found interesting is that I really thought there would be some static cling in the laundry when I pulled the dried items out. There wasn’t. They tell you that you can use an aluminum foil ball in the dryer to decrease static cling even further but I didn’t feel the need for that. I’ve since washed about 4 other loads of laundry with these and I’m excited about the way they work.

Bear Grylls Get Out Alive Season Finale Aug. 26 (giveaway)

My oldest son, my husband, and I all enjoy watching Bear Grylls survival show Man vs. Wild but we had not seen Bear Grylls “Get Out Alive” show yet, have you? The gist of the show goes like this:

In #GetOutAlive, 10 teams of 2 compete to survive in the beautiful New Zealand wilderness with Bear Grylls as their guide. The teams are faced with various survival tasks as they battle the terrain, mountains, gorges, glaciers, rainforests, rivers and rapids. Each week, one team is eliminated, and the last remaining duo will win $500,000!

Sounds like it could be a lot of fun. $500,000, now that’s an awesome prize. The season finale will be Aug. 26 on NBC and you can watch “Get Out Alive” until then every Monday at 9/8 c on NBC.

In anticipation of the unmissable season finale, Partnershub has worked to create a fun new app for the show. In the app you can see some cool pics from the show, take the quiz to find out if you would “get out alive”, and get to know the contestants from the show.

To go along with the show and the season finale, I have a Bear Grylls prize to give away to one lucky Luv Saving Money readers.

Purex 31 Days of Fun Sweepstakes a new prize every day

**I completed this post as a Purex Insiders blogger. I have a chance to win a gift card for this post**

Every day in August you can enter to win some great prizes from Purex in their 31 Days of Fun Sweepstakes. Each day brings a new prize and a new opportunity to win. Check out the offerings!

There are $10,000 in prizes to be won. So don’t wait, go enter: http://insiders.purex.com/31DaysofFun?id=56

Of all the prizes in the calendar, which 3 would you want to win most? Me, a Back to School Shopping Spree would definitely come in handy. My oldest is starting middle school this year, my 9 yr old son is starting 4th grade, and my 4 year old is starting pre-school in the fall. Lots of back to school shopping to do. My second choice would be the Family Bike set giveaway. My boys all have bikes but I don’t. My oldest son’s bike though has seen it’s better days. I’d love to win some nice new bikes for all of us to get out and get some exercise as a family. I think I’d get one of those bike trailers though so when she’s old enough, my youngest can go along too. Third choice is hard because really I’d be happy to win any of these prizes but I think maybe the grocery giveaway on the 29th. A family of 6 with 3 growing boys can really go through the groceries.

Because I’m a Purex Insider and was picked to help spread the word about this awesome sweepstakes, Purex is also offering a prize just for 1 lucky Luv Saving Money readers
