Worth the wait

Ok, I know you all have been waiting patiently for this mysterious giveaway and I finally have a moment to sit and actually give this post some thought, unlike the last couple of posts that were up in less than 5 minutes. This giveaway is about laundry soap, and everyone LOVES laundry, Right? Right?

I lived a pretty spoiled lifestyle growing up. I was not brought up in money, but my mother took good care of me, pretty much my whole life until she moved to Florida a couple of years ago. I know what you are thinking, Tasha a couple of years ago you were a mom to 2 kids, and almost married, living in your own home. Yes I know, but my mommy was still here to help me with everything...There for many of my habits, and items I use around the house I just simply use, because my mom did or still does.

Our laundry detergent is one of those items that I never gave a second thought to, and bought it because my mom uses it. I stick with it because A) it smells wonderful B) it works pretty darn good, and C) and its cheap. What is this great detergent you wonder, well its simply Purex. Mountain Fresh seems to be my scent of choice these days. So when I was given the chance to try a NEW purex product I could NOT wait. I was so excited when I received my Complete 3-in-1 Laundry sheets, I started a load of laundry right away and it wasn't even laundry day. These laundry sheets have saved my mind. You put a sheet in with your normal load and the laundry soap is right n the sheet. Then the same sheet goes right into the dryer with the same load of laundry. The complete 3-in-1 laundry sheet is detergent, fabric softener and dryer sheet ALL IN 1. Never do I have to run to the dryer again and check if I remembered to put in the dryer sheet and never do I actually have to measure out the laundry soap EVER AGAIN! Its amazing.

Purex is trying change lives with this simple product, but they are also trying to help others. Purex has teamed up with Kivo.com to support women owned businesses around the globe. You can check out www.purexchangeslives.com to view the profiles of women-owned businesses. You can support a business of your choice by entering in the bar code from any package of Purex Complete 3-in-1 laundry sheets. For every bar code entered, Purex will make a donation to a Kivo approved women owned business.

And now to the giveaway, Purex has given me a Starter pack of Purex Complete 3-in-1 laundry sheets to give to one of my lucky readers! (I know AWESOME right!). So here is what you have to do.

For 1 entry: Pick a product in your home, and tell me how you started using it. Was it because a friend or family member does, Was it because of a review on a blog, whatever reason it may be, tell me the product and why. (This must be done before other entries will count)

  1. I have been dying to try out the 3-in-1 Purex sheets!!!

    A product in my home that I use way more than I should is PineSol. I love the way my hardwood floors shine after they are cleaned and the way my house smells afterwards =)

  5. Oops, I forgot to mention WHY I started using PineSol - my hubby's mom always used it in her home, so hubby convinced me to use it in ours over any other floor cleaner. I'm not trying to cheat, so I don't expect this to be an extra entry =)

  7. I use Lysol more than any other product. I don't feel like my kitchen is clean unless I spay it down. I am sure this is a carry over from my mother.

    I started using Neutrogena Baby sunscreen because of Bzz Agent. It has been an awesome barrier for my daughter and I will continue to use it.
