Purex Crystals & Jockey Giveaway!

Did you know that many liquid fabric softeners contain softening oils? I know I didn’t! Why is that bad? Well, fabrics that are suppose to wick away moisture don’t work when covered with those oils! That is why I am glad we use Purex Crystals.

Since I live in Chicago, using fabric softener is a must especially in the winter time. Bill HATES (and I capitalize that word because I cannot tell you how much he hates) fabric softener sheets. They always seem to get stuck in his clothes, and he’ll be at work pulling them out. Or they are sitting all over our bedroom, because I never seem to get around to throwing them away. Needless to say, he doesn’t like them at all. However, Purex has alleviated that for us.

With the Purex Crystals, all you have to do is add them into your wash. I’ve tried both the fresh spring waters and the tropical splash scents and love them both. Purex crystals are 92% natural crystals, so they spend more time in your laundry. They can be safely used on athletic wear, towels, children’s sleepwear, bras, and everything else you can think of! Bill owns several shirts that wick away moisture, and I can use this on those too!

Since I love both of these products (both Jockey and Purex Crystals), I have arranged for one of my lucky readers to win a Jockey Sports bra and a bottle of Purex Crystals Tropical Splash. Here’s what you need to do:

What do you think about his… Read More »Justin Bieber Wedding Dance

The Fat Boy Chronicles

General

The Fat Boy Chronicles is inspired by a true story about a 14 year old boy who was overweight. Now, we all remember our high school days and how cruel kids are to one another. As you can guess, Jimmy was both tormented and bullied by his classmates. When one… Read More »The Fat Boy Chronicles
