Purex® Fresh Pet detergent for Pet Clothing Review

Introducing NEW Purex Fresh Pet-Cuddly clean clothes for your furry family

Purex Fresh Pet keeps your furry friends clothing bright and clean just like yours! NEW Purex Fresh Pet liquid detergent with Odor Control Action is a premium pet clothing formula that is specially formulated to condition and moisturize your pet's coat and eliminate odor while they wear their favorite outfits. Whether lounging around on the living room rug or strutting their stuff on a neighborhood walk, your pet's outfits will surely be noticed!

I can not tell you how glad I am to have been picked to try out New Purex Fresh Pet detergent for Pet Clothing. We don't dress our animals up as much as some but every now and then we go all out. This is a wonderful product for those who have tons of outfits for their little fur babies.

This product smells fantastic and really helped get rid of  that wet dog smell. Just what I needed to help me love my Princess even more.

I have a big Saint Bernard name Princess Goliath who likes to lounge around most of the day and sleep in everyone's bed but her own.

But sometimes she likes to really go out and strut herself, which means getting all glitzed up. She never knows when Mr. Right will come along and until he does she is ready to PARTY!

The girls could not wait to dress up Mama kitty and the kittens in their freshly cleaned outfits. The kitties are in trouble now. I see lots of rides in the stroller, just hope they are up for it.

Finally a Liquid detergent that will clean, while controlling odor as well as removing pet stains. You never know what Rover or Fifi will leave behind once they go out on the town in their Sunday's best.

Now you can be prepared for it all while conditioning and moisturizing  your pet's coat and keeping odor at bay. 

What more could you ask for?

Remember this product debut's on April 1, 2014.

Get yours quick to give your animal a paw up on fashion.

Dial Deep Cleansing Hand Soap Review

I was recently sent two of the above bottles of  Dial Deep Cleansing Hand Soap in Water Blossoms and Yellow Raspberry & Black Sugar to review.

This is how the box looked when it  arrived.

Here is all of the literature, the products and coupons.

A closer look of the literature.

On the left is the Water Blossom Dial Deep Cleansing Hand Soap and to the right is the Yellow Raspberry & Black Sugar Dial Deep Cleansing Hand Soap.

The first thing I did was open them up so we could smell the scents. They were both so good I couldn't decide on a favorite.

I put the Yellow Raspberry & Black Sugar Dial Deep Cleansing Hand Soap in our downstairs bathroom. 

Yellow Raspberry & Black Sugar refreshes your senses with a tart and rich sweetness.

My husband was the tester for the Yellow Raspberry & Black Sugar Dial Deep Cleansing Hand Soap.

As you can see it lathered up really nice.

I placed the Water Blossom Dial Deep Cleansing Hand Soap in our upstairs bathroom. 

My daughter Deanna tried the Water Blossom Dial Deep Cleansing Hand Soap out for me.

She was so fast I didn't get the lather picture but I assure you it was as good if not better then the  Yellow Raspberry & Black Sugar .

I liked that the two scents I was able to test out not only smelled wonderful, cleaned well, and looked great in my bathrooms, but that they also helped my families and my own hands fell more moisturized.

In my paperwork it does say that New Dial Deep Cleansing Hand Soap brings luxury to your hand washing experience with vibrant scents, gentle micro-scrubbers that both smooth and moisturize the skin, as well as adding style to your home with the new bottle design.

 I was able to pick up the third scent in Coconut Lime Verbena and will be placing that in the upstairs bathroom as soon as the Water Blossom runs out. 

I am very glad I was able to review this product for both the Dial Brand as well as for my friends who read my blog. I was supposed to have a giveaway with this but it now being March 23rd with the coupon expiring on the 31st, I was just able to find one of our stores offering these and they only had two of the three above pictured, so I wasn't going to have a giveaway where my readers would do all of the work to maybe win a coupon for a product they couldn't find because their store hadn't gotten them in yet.

I will have other giveaways to enter though so check back soon, and I apologize for not being able to host this giveaway.

Braidin Review and Giveaway

Welcome to the Braidin Giveaway! 

Sponsored By: Braidin.com

Hosted By: MarksvilleandMe

I am very thankful for the chance to review a new to me and much needed product. Recently a new little baby entered our family, my grand-daughter. AlainaMarie Faith Ortiz but we call her Lainy for short. Below you can see her trying it out for the very first time.

You might be asking "What is a Braidin?" Well let me tell you a little about it. First of all it is super soft, easy as pie to use, pleasing to the eyes, and has multiple purposes, with the main use being to protect the clothing you are wearing.

As you can see from my pictures below I found quite a few ways to use it myself.

For Babies you have a nice soft protector for both your own clothes and for anyone else who wold like to hold your child, or in my case grand children. It protects everyone who holds the baby from the spit up the cute bundle of joy will certainly baptize everyone with, and it also protects the baby from scents such as perfumes and smoke, not to mention any pins, buttons, or zippers from poking and upsetting the beautiful babies time with you.

Want to get a Unique Baby Shower Gift? This might be just what you have been looking for.

Some uses for adults would be to protect your clothing while applying makeup, hair styling aides, or even when you dye your hair at home. Our girls have that hair chalk and the Braidin does a great job of catching all of the dust from the chalks as the hair is done.

Another great use would be a cover for while you are eating. My husband always says I can dress you up but I can't take you out because if it happens to be a place to eat, I almost always drop food on my clothing. I have many shirts that have been ruined over the years. Wish I had a Braidin years ago, would have saved me lots of money.

How about while brushing your teeth?

Braidin Adult Green swirl/Peach
retails for 34.99

As you can see this is quite large and has a printed side like the picture above and a solid side like you see in the picture below.

What designs would like to see on a Braidin? 

  Personally I would love to see the Braidin done in Leopard/Brown or Zebra/Red, boy would I be in Heaven, the bright colors would also be good for children.

Just was looking at the above photo and a super hero cape came to mind.

What would you use your Braidin for?

This product is great from birth and beyond and maybe even further. 

Did I mention that this product is Hand Made in the USA by a women? Well it is. Something we can be proud to say is from America while supporting women who are making a better place for everyone. 

I really don't have anything bad to say about the Braidin other then wanting more designs, and the reality of not thinking of this myself. 

I hope that you will take a chance to win one of your very own Braidins and try it out for yourself.

One lucky reader will win a Braidin of their choice! 

This giveaway is open to US residents whom are at least 18 years of age. Ends at 11:59pm CST on March 31st. For your chance to win complete as many or as little entries as you wish. One winner will be chosen at random on or after March 31st, winners entries will be verified. Winner will then be notified via email if their entries were indeed fulfilled. The winner will have 48hrs in which to respond to the email or a new winner will be chosen.

Dial Vitamin Boost Body Wash Review and Giveaway

NEW Dial® Vitamin Boost Body Wash gives your skin a daily boost of vitamins. The advanced formula contains a moisturizing Vitamin Complex, which helps draw moisture directly to your skin leaving your skin feeling so healthy and soft, people can't help but notice! 

I really love getting products to review, but I love it even more when I can have a giveaway so that my readers can take a chance to try it themselves for free.

This is how my sample arrived.

A full size product to use much better then a tiny sample. This means I get to try it several times so that I can let you all know how I liked it after a few uses.

Here you can see what was in my kit. I shared one with a friend but have two just for my readers. You will find the giveaway below.

Here it is ready for use in the shower.

Bright green on my pink poof.

I have to say that even after my first use I noticed a difference in the feel of  my skin which has been dry with this long cold winter we have had, but with continued use I noticed it improve even more.The smell is great and it lathers up quite well.  I am sold on this product and hope to stock up on more when I get the chance. 

I found this to be a great product for someone like myself  who just does not take the time to use lotion to moisturize my skin regularly, also I have Fibromyalgia which keeps me from being able to flex enough to reach all of the places I need to moisturize. With this body wash I don't have to worry. it moisturizes as it is rinsed from my body in the spots I can't reach depending on my pain level for day.

Lotion infused with Vitamin B helps draw in moisture for hydrated skin, how much easier can it be? Make sure you also keep Nutrition at the top of your list every day for not only a healthier you but also for Healthy Skin.

The only downside for me is that I have only scene this scent in the store. I would love for them to come up with more with the same moisturizing benefits. 

If you have tried this let me know how you feel about it below.

Oh yes the giveaway. 

MarksvilleandMe wishes everyone who enters Good Luck!

Taconic Hills Elementary School PTO Fund Raiser (Now Over sorry you missed it)

                            

Both of my girls are in elementary so of course they come home with the same fund raisers. Luckily this one is nice because it gave an online code so I could share with my online friends and family who are far away. So this is really cool for those who would like to help out or those who just love the bags that are available.

Below you can see an assortment of bags that are available. 

Below is the bag I really like it is 29.00 and has four large pouch pockets and three zip pockets inside.

Make sure you click on Edit Fund Raiser in the middle of the top of the page and put in Dorothy Marks as the name of the child so that she gets credit. 

I really appreciate any help you all can give Dorothy in helping raise money for her school. 

Thank you from MarksvilleandMe.
