Purex Crystals and Jockey Sports Bra Giveaway!

Purex has teamed up with Jockey to kick off the release of  Purex Crystals.  What are Purex Crystals?  They are one of the newest products in the Purex line.  The Purex Crystals are 92% natural crystals that you add to your wash load at the beginning with your detergent to infuse your laundry with a fresh scent.  Purex Crystals are an answer to one of my laundry woes.  My husband and daughter are both runners participating in 5k and marathons.  Today's running gear is made to wick moisture but is not made to be used with fabric softener leaving it with a high stink factor.  I was constantly frustrated by having to watch the loads that I could use fabric softener with as they constantly have exercise gear in the laundry.  Purex Crystals is here to help me defeat the stink factor without erasing the moisture-wicking  qualities of exercise clothing.  Purex Crystals do not contain oil so they are safe to be used on athletic wear, towels, sleepwear & everything else.  I was surprised to see one of the main ingredients is sucralose.  Sweet!  (pun intended).  I was able to test Purex Crystals in Tropical Splash.  The scent leave laundry smelling fresh with a scent that lingers past the dryer.

Do you want to put Purex Crystals to the test?  Purex has teamed up with Jockey to offer one lucky StuffSmart reader a full size bottle of crystals and Jockey is adding a Sports bra so you can see for yourself how the products works.  The Jockey Tech Terry Performance moisture-wicking sports bra has a convenient key pocket, reflective logo and breathable bottom band for support.

Dishwasher and Laundry Safe Labels for Kids and Baby!

I recently had the opportunity to review Applied Labels™  the best selling product from Applied Labels LLC.  I chose a label with my daughter's name and the butterfly icon.  Where was Applied Labels when my daughter was an infant???  I can't tell you how much masking tape I used on bottles, sippy cups, bags etc.  Applied Labels has made labeling your child's items so much easier and much more fashionable. 

When the labels arrived I couldn't wait to get them out and go to labeling.  We labeled my daughter's school supplies including: Her daily (glossy) folder, fabric pencil pouch, outside of nylon lunch bag and inside of her backpack.  I have been most impressed with the labeling of her lunch box.  Her lunch box is nylon and has been surface washed several times and the label still looks like new.  In addition this label came in handy very soon after we applied it, my daughter left her lunch box in the school office and was able to pick it up there the next day saving her lunch box from the smelly lost and found.  I will say that the label I placed in her backpack did not hold very long but want to say that I think that was entirely MY fault.  When I labeled it my daughter even told me that wasn't a good place to put it because she has to pull her 3inch 3 ring binder in and out of her backpack several times a day.  She scraped the label off with her binder.  I think I will use the iron on method next time for her backpack.  The other labels are holding strong. 

Overall I was very pleased with applied labels.  The printing and icon looks much better than my previous masking tape labels.  If you need labels check out :  Applied Labels LLC .  You may also want to follow them on twitter at @appliedlabels or like them on facebook.

 

Applied Labels you can help to make sure your child is able to make it home with their own belongings no matter where they are.  We all spend way to much on our children so why not insure our investment by labeling it.  Don't forget Applied Labels for: Day Cares, Mother's Day Out, Play Dates, School, Sports, Camp, etc.
