Protect your clothes while laundering

One of my favorite laundry items are mesh laundry bags like this 4 piece set from Nemuria. Even though I always buy a washer with the hand wash setting, I still invest in laundry bags.

I have used them for baby items, delicates, intimates, dresses, etc. My favorite way to use the large bag which is included in this set  is for my curtains which I wash once every 6 months or so. I just pop them inside through them in the wash, one out I just hand while wet unless I am changing them out then I let air dry before storing.

These bags are great for keeping track of all of those tiny baby items. For girls they are great for keeping your hair accessories clean, just pop your pony tail holders inside, then wash, follow with drying if they can be dried. Keeping your delicates clean and in good shape longer is just a zip away.

Another favorite on these bags would be the zipper pull cover so that other items don't get tangled on the pull or worse come unzipped during the wash cycle. A great extra that you don't find on every laundry bag out there.

Groupon for Fashion that will take you into the New Year

This is a sponsored post. All opinions are mine.




The New Year is just round the corner and we all know we like to start out on the right foot. My favorite way is to start with some new clothes. Groupon had deals to get you through the Holidays and it will take you into the New Year with style too. My favorite Groupon page for myself is of course Lane Bryant. There are lots of deals to save you lots of money on a new look. 

For my older girls I take off to Rue 21 for great deals through Groupon. Rue 21 has great prices already but add on some coupons from Groupon and you really go wild. With Swagbucks you can even save more by earning points that can be turned in for gift cards to many places. Believe me it is easy to do and adds up quickly if you do online shopping.

The first sites I check out for deals is Groupon, Ebates, Swagbucks, and Mypoints. I want more for my buck so that I can do more for my family and sites like these really stretch my dollar which helps me stay on budget and come under budget many more times then I can count.

Also remember Groupon is here all year round so you can always be sure to find a great deal on an items you are looking for, which reminds me the girls need new undergarments so I better get shopping to see what I can find.

Hangers for Slacks

These are great. This is the first time I have ever owned a set of slack hangers which I also use for my skirts. I love that I don't have to feed the whole garment through the hanger, I can just slip my pants or skirts on with ease.

These are heavy hangers that will hold your clothes well and keep them in great shape. I would like to say that you might not even have to iron your items when they are removed depending on the length of time they are actually on the hangers.

These hangers can be found on Amazon.




What Kitchen Classique has to say about their product.

HEAVY DUTY CONSTRUCTION: This set of 20 pants hangers is made of strong metal with a black rubber coating making them heavy-duty and non-slip. Each hanger is 5mm in diameter, can hold up to 20 pounds and measures 5.5 inches tall by 14 inches long--longer than most other brands!

-SAVE SPACE IN YOUR CLOSET: The slim and sleek profile of these hangers help you save space in your closet while keeping things organized. Fits most standard size closet poles.

-MAKES DRESSING MORE CONVENIENT: The open ended design of these hangers allow you to save time by easily slipping clothes on and off the hangers without removing them from your closet.

-SEAMLESS DESIGN: These hangers were made from one piece of metal and are not pieced together unlike other hangers that are more likely to fall apart. A completely safe rubberized coating protects you and your clothes from any sharp edges.

Fighting Clothing Stains

Purex® plus Clorox 2®

With a large family for many years I have come to depend on certain products to get my family's laundry done well. Purex has a been a big part of that with it being a great product, fairly priced, with lots of coupons available to save me even more money. Now Purex has put out their Purex Plus Clorox2 which fights 100 stains. I can't even name that many stains.

I have to be honest I haven't seen a big difference in stain removal because their regular Purex I use already has been taking care of our stains, but that might because we wash our clothes pretty much right after we notice a stain rather then waiting. I have a bleeding disorder so bleeds are a big thing in our home and so far Purex has saved the day everytime, taking out the blood and leaving behind a nice clean product.

I am very happy with all of their products including the new Purex Plus with Clorox 2 which is safe for colors. If you haven't tried their product now might be the time to give it a whirl because summer is right around the corner which means BBQ stains, grass stains, dirt stains, and all other kinds of summer stains.

Armpit Stain Remover

I want to make this clear that this will not remove build up deodorant stains this is made for perspirations stains only. You can do an internet search for how to remove deodorant stains if that is what you are looking for. If you have white or colored shirts with perspiration stains then this is the product for you.

Easy to use out of the bottle or by just attaching a spray nozzle from one of your other cleaners (make sure to rinse nozzle before adding to Raise).

I am always fighting perspiration stains and deodorant stains on my husbands shirts. I have found this works best with white shirts while I use the searched recipe for the deodorant stained clothes. So far my husband is loving his clean white pits, which means I save money not replacing the shirts as often.

You can find this armpit stain remover on Amazon.


What Raise has to say about their product.

RAISE is the first stain remover made to treat and to eliminate discolored sweat stains in clothing. Our product works on all types of perspiration stains including ring around the collar, underarm stains and overall gray dinginess. RAISE is best used by pre treating the entire stain, rubbing together (or using a small brush) and letting it sit for 15-20 minutes before laundering. Or if you wanted to brighten your whites add 1/4 cup of RAISE to your laundry (1st fill your washer with water then add). Little secret, if you have treated your sweat stains with bleach you have made them permanent. Test RAISE on stains that have not been treated with bleach.

**RAISE can be used on colored clothing however you must spot test for colorfastness.

Winter Plaid Scarf

I plan on getting a red pea coat in the coming year and this will go great with it. Love the colors and how warm this is. The tassels are so cute.

This is too short to double up but it works well going around your neck and draping down which would be the way I would wear this.

Until I get that pea coat I am going to pair this with some sweaters for the winter months, I don't think it would be good for summer wearing but depending on where you live this might make a good shawl for say the fourth of July when it gets a bit cooler at night or even Labor day.



You can find this scarf in several colors on Amazon.

Maxi Skirt

My girls love to wear dresses but most most of the time they are so active we let them wear leggings, jeans, and shorts so that none of their girly goods are showing. I grew up wearing dresses and skirts most of my life but really enjoy wearing leggings under those things in the cold weather and capris during the summer. My girls are more built like their father and over heat quickly so layering for them isn't a good idea in the summer.

This skirt is quite nice and looks great on my daughter. We received the Turquoise in L for my 12 year old daughter. She can not wait to wear it more often in the spring and summer. Until then she will keep it in her closet and she will mix and match shirts, scarves, etc with it to come up with many different ways to implement it into her wardrobe.

You can find this maxi skirt in three different colors on Amazon.

This beautiful maxi skirt features stretchable waistband. This is an amazing skirt perfect for both day and romantic night life.

• - 95% Rayon/5% Spandex
  - Lightweight soft fabric with maximum stretch for comfortable fit
  - Pull On closure
  - Approx. Measurements Before Stretch:
        Small Waist 26", Hip 36", Length 40"
       Medium Waist 28", Hip 38", Length 40"
       Large Waist 30", Hip 40", Length 40"
       XL Waist 32", Hip 42", Length 40"

Toe Socks even my daughter can love

One thing my daughter Dennise likes to wear are toe sock but with having larger feet it is near impossible to find her regular girl socks much less toe socks that fit her large lady feet

Thankfully they are now making toe socks in men's sizes so now she can enjoy wearing toe socks just like when she was little.

She just gets so excited and this time instead of having a whole package with one set of colors she has 5 different colors to choose from although because her smaller sister has bigger feet then she did at the same age and posed for the picture she was able to pick out one pair for herself.

Now I have two girls with huge feet that want toe socks. I  just wish that the people who made ladies socks would make bigger socks all the way around from regular to toe socks. Not every girl has tiny princess feet. Maybe FuzzyGreen will make larger colorful socks for women.

You can find these toe socks in 3 and 5 packs on Amazon.

What FuzzyGreen has to say about their product.

• Material: Cotton blend
  Size: free size, length about 24-28cm (Before stretching)
  Comfortable and breathable for daily wearing
  Stylish, and promote healthy circulation
  Color: Light gray, Black, Dark gray or white
  Pack:3 colors a Pack, 5 colors a pack

Delicate Washables

In our family we do a lot of clothes washing, the washer and dryer seem to never stop for long before another load is piled in. Having 4 girls I decided long ago that all of my washing machines would have a hand wash setting.

I have stayed true to that decision. Tons of stockings, undergarments, and delicate clothes later I have saved my body much overuse by not hand washing it all by hand. This set of laundry bags is great you have three bags, a delicates bag, and intimate bag to keep your bras in one piece instead of losing their shape or even ruining their clasps.

Washing delicates couldn't be any easier unless you paid someone to do it for you. We have had many laundry bags over the years some better than others. This set is on the better then others side with several others we have tried and will continue to stay on our replace list when we need them in the future.

You can find this delicate laundry bag set on Amazon.



DURABLE MESH MATERIAL for continuous use without breaking down or wearing out
NON-BLEED COLOR to allow washing of any color without ruining clothes
PREMIUM DESIGN to accentuate the style of your delicates that are being laundered
5 SEPARATE BAGS to allow use with almost any clothing size and type
STRONG ZIPPER to hinder opening while washing and drying for full protection of your delicates

Vintage Pencil Dress

This is one of my favorite dresses that we were able to review recently and boy does my daughter look grownup in it. Very cute, stylish, and fits great.

She was given tons of compliments on this dress, and loved every minute of wearing it. She is excited to get more dresses from this company in the future.

Until then she has a running wish list of other clothing from them. This dress has a back zipper and has a little slit in the back. Love the bow trim and the polka dots are so cute. We paired this with another hat which you can find in my reviews as well if you are interested.
