Purex Complete 3-in-1 Laundry Sheet Review.

I was so excited when I was selected to a Purex Insider. The main reason is because I'm allergic to every other detergent on the market. The great thing about Purex is that it's reasonably priced and makes my  clothes smell great. As being apart of the Purex Insider team, I was asked to give me review on the  Purex Complete 3-in-1 Laundry Sheet.

As I just started my first load on laundry, my husband looked at me questioning if the tiny sheet was going to do that huge load of laundry. Well, it sure did! I have a tendency to overstuff my washer and on Saturday, I tried out the 3-in-1 for the first time. I must say I was skeptical just tossing in a sheet and seeing what happened but an hour later, I was changing the load into the dryer and the was sheet was noticably thinner with the detergent layer and fabric softener layer gone. With a quick 30 minute try, I pulled out the clothes to a nice smell, no static and not many wrinkles.

To put it to the true test, I had my husband do the next load, the jeans load. With that typically being a heavier load for the washing machine to take on, I wanted to see if the 3-in-1 would really do the work. Again, another hour later, the jeans were clean, visible grass stains removed and in great shape.

Overall, I was very excited to see the 3-in-1 do what the package stated. I was concerned that it may come apart or not make my clothes clean. I was wrong. It's fool proof for my husband, and even better to get your kids involved in doing laundry. I definitely saved time, not having to measure and pour my detergent and fabric softener. Overall great experience.

Be on the lookout for Purex 3-in-1 Coupons. Next week, Walgreens will be having a deal with Buy one Get One Deal starting 10/18. You can get a $1 off coupon here!

Giveaway Yoplait Less Sugar, More Fun Prize Pack!

The Casa De Cowan is a huge fan of yogurt. It is a daily staple in our house. When I was given the opportunity to try Yoplait Kids, I jumped at the chance. Where else can you pair a great tasting snack with one of your favorite cartoon characters?

Yoplait Kids is a good source of vitamin D and, according to two new studies that provide the first national assessment of the crucial nutrient in young Americans, millions of U.S. children have disturbingly low vitamin D levels, possibly increasing their risk for a variety of health concerns, including bone problems. About 7.6 million children, adolescents, and young adults have vitamin D levels so low they could be considered deficient.

Perfect for accompanying this fun afternoon snack, the Yoplait Less Sugar, More Fun prize pack includes coupon for a Yoplait Kids yogurt, a travel cooler (to take your yogurt on-the-go), a fun spoon that changes colors in warm water, a reusable place mat with games to keep the kids happy while snacking, and a fuzzy tangle puzzle for some after-snack fun.

My Blog Spark has joined forces with Cash Cowan to offer 2 lucky readers a Yoplait Less Sugar, More Fun Prize Pack!
