Spellbinders Celebra'tions Review and Giveaway

I used to be a HUGE scrapbooker and my friend and I would get together every Saturday and she would work on her cards and I would work on my scrapbook. We both have since moved from the place where we used to do that so I haven't been quite as crafty as of late. But Purex sent me a product to try and now I get to tell you about. Also one of the companies I previously bought my scrapbooking craft stuff isn't around any more so it's always fun to find a new company with new ideas. Spellbinders has paper, ink, stamps, dies, and embellishments to make greeting cards or scrapbook pages. Kiah and I decided to make the card together so I took some picture of her work. The directions were very easy and we had a fun time.

I am excited to be able to give a very different than my usual giveaways. I am hoping I have some stamping friends out there who would like to win the stamps shown in this picture, just have fun and enter on the rafflecopter below. Good luck! Make sure to check out the pictures below and Kiah's awesome card! And don't forget to enter to win the giveaway! It is also all the way at the bottom of this post!

The Spellbinders brand provided me with a sample of Spellbinder Celebra'tions Collection in exchange for a product review. However, all the opinions expressed here are my own. #spellbinders

Cetaphil product review

So thankful for Crowdtap to let me get to try some of their products and then even better I got to share them with my friends and family.

My very favorite product I got to try were the cleansing cloths- I will admit it I am LAAAAZY when it comes to getting my face clean. I want something super easy and most days I don't wear makeup just because I don't want to wash it off! But with this product it is super easy to just pull one out and use it and then toss it, no waiting for the water to warm up, no suds in the eyes perfect. I also like to use them after I shower after a run just because I always feel even though I've been in the shower my face just still feels dirty deep down so I enjoy just using one of these right after I shower! 

I also got to try the daily facial moisturizer, I haven't actually gotten into a routine with it yet so my opinion is undecided but I enjoyed the few days I did use it. I have SUPER sensitive skin on my face and just about any product will cause a break out but this product added the moisture without adding the excess oil that some products do. Finally I got to try the body wash. 

Now as sensitive as my facial skin is the rest of my body is not so I personally didn't feel like I needed this product (I love a TON of scent and this is not scented but I had a friend who was so happy to get to try some because she says it is the only product that helps against her eczema, so knowing that I would totally recommend the product to people. I also think as a mom I bought expensive (in my mind) unscented baby wash for my youngest because he had really sensitive skin for about three months and then I was left with all this baby product, this is nice because anyone in the family can use it. I was very impressed with Cetaphil's Gentle Power. 

Thanks Crowdtap for letting me have a sample to try, and all I had to do was share my opinion. Which all these words are mine.  

Capri Sun

So have you ever wondered what was in a Capri Sun? I mean they kind of had the mysterious silver pouches that you couldn't see through with the tiny straws. Well no Capri Sun has added a clear bottom to those pouches so you can see what you are giving your kids. We enjoy this product especially in the summer. They are fun to pop into the freezer and then eat as a popsicle as well. My kids love all the great tastes and I love that now some of the choices are 100% juice. 

I was given a sample product to share with my friends and family and was to write a review about it, all the words here are mine.   

Herbal Essence Makes body wash?

Say whaaaaat?

it's true Herbal Essence has designed a product line of body washes. I have been able to try two of the new scents. The hello Hydration that is pictured and another one called body burst (it's orange) I have always been a fan of the HE brand- loving the scent it leaves behind on my hair so I was simply delighted when I found out they were going to have body wash. I enjoyed both scents very much and I did believe that the hydration one seemed to keep my skin fairly hydrated. I love little indulgences like good smelling body wash so I was happy to get to try this product. 

crowdtap sent me a free sample of the product above, however all reviews listed about it are my own words. Thanks CROWDTAP!!!!

Purex Crystals Dryer Sheets Review and GIVEAWAY!

I just have to say I have so much fun getting to try every Purex product under the sun and then getting to share my experiences with you. We even got the high school grads we got invites from a honkin HUGE bottle of Purex this weekend at Target. I think they have enough for 133 loads- Kjell's like that's a whole year for college kids! Anyways back to this dryer sheet- as soon as I opened the box my whole kitchen and living room took on this scent. It was EXTREMELY powerful. In the promo Purex says they can keep our whole house smelling fresh and they were not kidding! Kjell was complaining of a stinky room at school and I told him he might just want to take one of these sheets. Ok so since it did smell up the house so much I was a teeeny bit worried that the smell was going to be that strong on the clothes. Now everyone who knows me knows I LOVE scent in my laundry products but this was a bit too flower-y for Kjell's taste so when I did my first load I was pleasantly surprised that it was a more gentle smell then I had thought.  So once again there are two giveaways one that I am doing that is for a free product coupon- the other is the one that Purex does and they are giving away $500 I tell you what one of these days one of my bloggers is going to win this...http://insiders.purex.com/TryYourLuckWIN?id=303. 
I will have three awesome ways for you to enter but only the first one is required. Thanks for entering and reading and know that Purex provided me with a sample of this product in exchange for my product review. However all opinions here are MINE :)

Purex No Sort for Colors Review and Giveaway

Justus has two major jobs at our house. Cleaning his own room and helping me sort laundry every Thursday or Friday. Yes I am that mom who still with a family of six washes all the clothes on the same day. The morning we were to do laundry I told Justus how we weren't going to have to sort the clothes this week, then I handed him the bottle. Words like AMAZING and WOW THIS IS MAGIC came out of his mouth! He also said, "mom, Purex should have sent you two bottles!" Let me tell you I will not get away with buying anything else as long as this kid is helping me with the laundry! The bottle tells us that the detergent can trap loose dyes and reduces dye bleeding chances not allowing them to settle onto other clothing items.. It DOES however state it is in fact not magic (sorry Justus) and new "strongly" colored clothes or jeans should be washed at least five times with like items before you can trust that it wont cause bleeding. 

I enjoyed the product a lot. I actually threw in each kid's basket as a load and then had that kid's stuff all done so hypothetically I could just wash, dry and fold it all and get it put in their room before the next load. However with four kids most moms know that just doesn't usually happen that way. So yes I got all the laundry washed before lunch. Which is good I usually have the last load out by 2. It really seemed to save me a lot of clothes. My only issue which isn't really a big deal is- I don't know if I have/had any clothes in there that could have transferred dye or not. We are super frugal when it comes to clothes so most are either old, garage sale finds or hand me downs!  However I really did feel I gained an extra hour of my life that day and that is well worth it. I am so type A though I am not sure how much I enjoy just tossing it in. (yes I know I am weird) 

Anyways I would like to share this product with you in the form of three free product coupons so don't forget to enter my giveaway- Rafflecopter has seemed to work great as long as I remember to actually put the question in so I will try that again if it doesn't work please don't hesitate to contact me like last time! 

ALSO Purex has their giveaway you can enter at their website they are giving away $1000 and a year's supply of this detergent! One of these days it will be my reader who wins! GOOD LUCK!  http://insiders.purex.com/TheRulesHaveChangedwithPurexNoSort?id=335
