Purex Complete Crystals Review + Giveaway{{3 Winners}}

**CLOSED**
I don't know if I've told you I absolutely l-o-v-e doing laundry! I love pulling the clothes out of the dryer and smelling them so clean and fresh. There is nothing better than climbing into a bed with freshly laundered linens! I have now passed this on to Chucky, he will hear the dryer stop and yell for me to go and get his blankets. I will bring them up and put them on top of him; he will say, 'Oooo mama, they feel and smell so good!'

I was recently chosen to be a Purex Insider which means that I get to help spread the word about the Purex® family of laundry products. As an Insider, I receive sample product and incentives in exchange for participating in brand related activities.


On December, 28th Purex launched an entirely different, unique, amazing product that will still give you the same results of a product you are used to.

What is it?
Unique Crystal Form, 92% Natural Fabric Softener.

Introducing Purex® Complete Crystals SoftenerTM*; a purer way to get laundry that
smells clean and fresh for weeks. 92% natural, this product’s unique crystal form works
differently than traditional oil-based softeners that coat fabrics with oily residue, because
it infuses fibers with long-lasting fragrance. In addition, since you add it directly with your
laundry, this means no more waiting for the rinse cycle, no messy residual gunk in your
washing machine, and no more stains from spilling liquid fabric softener.

How to use it:
Add with laundry at the start of the wash cycle. 

Why struggle with plastic fabric softener balls, risk staining your clothes or waste time
waiting for the rinse cycle? Simply add Purex Complete Crystals Softener directly with
your laundry at the beginning of every wash cycle to infuse fabrics with long lasting
freshness.

How it works:

Crystals dissolve infusing fabrics with freshness.

Laundry scent lovers will perk up as freshness is infused into clothes with this new fabric
softener. Over time, traditional oil-based softeners coat fibers causing harmful oily
residue to accumulate. Purex Complete Crystals Softeners penetrate fabrics to reduce
fiber entanglement and smooth frayed fibers providing a naturally soft feel.

Why it's different: 

Safe for all laundry and better for fabrics.

Do ALL of your laundry—worry free! Purex Complete Crystals Softeners are safe for
all laundry and will not harm, wear down or discolor your fabrics like oil-based softeners.
Safe for all fabrics, including baby clothes, athletic wear, towels, and whites. Unlike other
softeners, Crystals WILL:
• Preserve the flame retardant benefits of your children’s clothes
• Retain your athletic wear’s wicking ability which draws sweat away from your body
• Maintain your towels’ built-in ability to absorb water
• Keep your white clothing from yellowing and graying vs. using traditional softeners
The product won’t harm your clothes and is safe and convenient for the entire family!

It comes in 3 delightful scents, Fresh Spring Waters(the one I received), Lavender Blossom and Tropical Splash.
It is also safe to use in standard and High Efficiency(HE) washers.

'You smell so good and look so beautiful unfortunately I have to dump you into the laundry.' The crystals were easy to use and it was actually very nice not to have to run down to the washer and try to catch it in time to add my fabric softener! I pulled the laundry out and put the clothes into the dryer and was expecting the lovely smell to be gone once the clothes were dry and to my surprise they smelled just as good as when I put them in! It's been a week and the clothes that have been ironed, the towels and linens still smell absolutely divine!
Look for it on a shelf near you!

What erks you?

I know that we all have something that absolutely positively gets to you...erks you!
You know when you just can't take it anymore and you just go on a rampage and start freaking out on anyone who is within touching distance. It happens to me all of the time and I was just wondering what it is that erks you and how do you deal with it?

I usually love the Holiday's people, even if they are in a bad mood will say it or even say it back when you tell them "Happy Holiday's," "Have a Merry Christmas," "Happy New Year," "Happy Hanuka," (I think you get my drift). So when I went to the store during the 'Holiday's' I was in a good mood going into the store and then a crazy lady by the time I left!

I live in a small town and this particular store has to accommodate 8 to 10 cities/towns. So when people from another town come over to said store and you haven't seen them in a long time of course you want to chat and see how the fam is doing and so on and so forth; but when it comes to people who just want to run in and get what they need and get the heck out it doesn't work and they act like they are at their house entertaining them! They stand right in the small aisle and act like your in their way. I start to go down the aisle and one of them will see me and just continue to talk, I say 'excuse me,' and they look at me like I am an alien with one big eye and fifty arms. I say it again, 'excuse me,' they just ignore me this time like we saw the alien and we are over it. This time I just take my cart and act like they aren't there and say, 'excuse you!' Then they want to move out of the way and talk about me like I am not there. I can't stand it and it erks me! I told them why don't you go into the attached eatery, get a drink and talk to your friends? They can't seem to understand that this is a place to shop and I totally get when you see someone that you haven't seen in a long time but c'mon when I say excuse me more then once and you don't move you deserve more then a cart in your achilles!

New Year: New Resoulutions? New Disappointments?

It's a whole bright shiny not yet tarnished NEW YEAR! I am going to let you in on a little secret...I don't do resolutions! What the heck is a resolution anyway?

res·o·lu·tion   /ˌrɛzəˈluʃən/


[rez-uh-loo-shuhn] –noun
1. a formal expression of opinion or intention made, usually after voting, by a formal organization, a legislature, a club, or other group. Compare concurrent resolution, joint resolution.

5. the act or process of resolving or separating into constituent or elementary parts.
6. the resulting state.
7. Optics . the act, process, or capability of distinguishing between two separate but adjacent objects or sources of light or between two nearly equal wavelengths. Compare resolving power.

12. the degree of sharpness of a computer-generated image as measured by the number of dots per linear inch in a hard-copy printout or the number of pixels across and down on a display screen.


I think that we should try to be better people at what we do everyday and work on it everyday. I can't remember what I did yesterday let alone what my 'resolution' was for this past year{get my drift?}. I understand wanting to be a better you but what is wrong with the original you? People who do it{resolutions} and stick to it-GOOD FOR YOU!! I just know & see a lot of people who are always talking resolution this resolution that and then I see them smoking a cigarette or eating a cheeseburger and dessert. I think sometimes people are unrealistic when it comes to their resolutions. If you want to loose weight & aim for 20 pounds I don't know if your going to succeed, so try for 5 and if you do it go for 5 more, if your going to work out don't shoot for 7 days a week shoot for 3 don't try and build yourself up for a fail. 'I didn't work out 7 days this week so I guess I will just stop working out!'



With myself I have never worried about weight or working out- I will exercise and watch what I eat{that pie looked delish before I ate it!} and when I walked to the garbage can to throw away the pie tin I brought along my pedometer! I don't get caught up in the small stuff, with having cancer I learned what and what not to get all riled up about and it isn't going to be that I didn't work out or I ate a piece of pie with a billion calories! It's going to be look what me and Chucky did today, we had a blast today and I hope he remembers all of these fun times like I am going to cherish them! So when you look and reflect on your life as a whole this new bright shiny untarnished new year, remember that your family isn't going to remember if you didn't work out or enjoy the dessert but they will remember you enjoying the dessert with them laughing and being you with your family!!

From my happily imperfect family Happy New Year!!
