New designer fresh Renuzit® Pearl Scents for the home [Review & Giveaway]

I love for my home to be fresh scented without an obvious "fragrance." A touch of seasonal fragrance is fine (think of Christmas trees and goodies), but simply fresh scented is best.

Available aromas: Blue Sky Breeze, Serenity,
Sparkling Rain, Tranquil, & Seductive Pineapple

Renuzit® has a way of offering fragrances for the home that bring a gentle and lovely scent to your home - this is something I appreciate. And now they have developed the Renuzit® Pearl Scents in a variety of fragrances in a beautiful container that you'll feel pleased to have on display.

Having been given the opportunity to try this new product line, I jumped at the opportunity. I am so pleased with the loveliness of this new line from Renuzit®.

You simply remove the decorative lid, tear off the inner seal and dispose of it, then replace the decorative lid. The aroma is released via the decorative openings in the top of the lid. Now you can place it wherever you wish to lend a fresh scent to your home.

I like that I can easily remove the label and have a simply lovely product to display.

Just a little note - I can see reusing these little Pearl Scents containers for lots of fun crafts. Also, if you are caught with only one full Renuzit® Pearl Scents on hand and you want a bit of fresh aroma in more than one room, simply pour half of the pearls into the other reuse jar and place one in each room.

New kid's products from Dial - Dial Baby Body & Hair Wash and Dial Kid's Foaming Hand Wash [Review & Giveaway]

Again, Dial Soap has given the consumer products to meet their daily needs and products on which Mom can depend. Today we're looking at the new Dial Baby Body & Hair Wash  and Dial Kid's Foaming Hand Wash.

First, let's get those kiddies ready for bath by preparing the tub with nice warm water. Get a favorite toy ready. And have wash cloth and towel handy. I was given the opportunity to review the Dial "0 to 2 year old, fragrance free, gentle formula" product. There are others geared specifically for your child who is older but for whom you still wish to have a children's, pediatric approved, and safe product.

Kiddies love bubbles and this lathers nicely but not too much. Doesn't burn or sting the eyes. Doesn't irritate sensitive skin.

Product Information (from Dial) - Developed with Pediatric Dermatologists, this tear-free formula is pH balanced and hypoallergenic, with no parabens or artificial dyes, for babies’ perfect skin. Gently removes environmental dirt for a head to toe clean! See more at: More about Dial Baby Body & Hair Wash

<<<<<<<<-------->>>>>>>>>

Now, your kiddie's hands need washing. Pull up the little step stool - snug to the counter. Have that wee one step on it. Now the fun begins!

They just LOVE, I mean LOVE, their own foaming soap! Let them depress the plunger. Usually one little "serving" will suffice. But you can afford to be liberal if it makes them happy. Now scrub a rub dub. Twist and turn. Bubble all around. Hands are clean. (The old adage is to get them really clean you wash them while singing Happy Birthday To You.) Rinse. Grab that favorite little hand towel. Rub-a-rub and get them dry.

Step down from the step stool. Put it back in place. Now we're clean. We're finished.

This works at home or Grandma's house. Little ones love their own Dial Kid's Foaming Hand Wash.

Product Information (from Dial) - Makes hand washing fun for all ages! Hypoallergenic, no artificial dyes, no parabens, pH balanced and gentle on kids’ skin! See more at: Dial Kid's Foaming Hand Wash

New laundry product - Liquid Purex® Crystals ScentSplash™ [Review & Giveaway]

Awhile back, Purex began marketing Purex Crystals in several fragrances for enhancing laundry. Who doesn’t love a good fragrance and freshness to our linens and clothes? The Purex Crystals were and are nice to add into the laundry mix. But now Purex has gone a step further – they now have a new bottle on the shelves in stores - Purex Crystals ScentSplash.

As a Purex Insider  I was given the opportunity to try a bottle of this in-wash fragrance booster and share what I thought with my Chat With Vera readers. Since receiving it, I’ve used it in several loads of laundry. I fill the cap to the “2” line and the result is that my laundry has a nice fresh fragrance after washing and drying the clothes.

I was provided the Lavender scented Purex Crystals ScentSplash, but there are two other fragrances: Fresh Spring Waters and Fresh Mountain Breeze. Each sounds wonderfully refreshing. Though lavender is a favorite of mine, I can't wait to try the other two!

Product Information (from Purex) - Infuse your clothes with the power of liquid freshness.

Purex® Crystals ScentSplash™ is the next evolution in laundry in-wash fragrance boosters. It contains refreshing scent beads that release bursts of fragrance with irresistible freshness that lasts! This new Liquid Crystals formula is convenient and versatile enough to be used directly in the washer or in-wash tray, and is safe for all wash fabrics.

Micro-scrubbers from sugar cane husk clean in moisturizing Dial® Hand Soap [Review & Giveaway]

Growing up Southern in the coastal city of Wilmington, NC I remember lots of things. Going to the grocery store on the corner (we walked) with Mama was a treat. Sometimes she'd buy me a large, red apple. And I remember a few times, they were selling sticks of sugar cane. We would chew on the ends - kind of a chewing, sucking that drew the juice of the cane forth into our mouth. A treat to be sure. But those days are long gone. I haven't seen sugar cane since I was a child.

We are aware that sugar cane is the source of sugar and syrups. And now we have learned that the Dial corporation has incorporated the micro-scrubbers of the cane into a deep conditioning, moisturizing hand soap so that we can get a moist and deep down clean wash each and every time we lather up.

Presented to the consumer in a sleek, modern, abstract shaped bottle that will look lovely on the kitchen or bath counter, this quality soap will make all your hand washing moments sweet and pleasant and really do a good job of cleaning as well.

Dial has long been known for producing quality cleaning soaps. This is true with The Boutique Collection that includes the Sugar Cane Husk Scrub hand soap.

Dial® Healthier Skin. Healthier You.®

Miracle Oil Body Wash with Marula Oil from Dial {Review & Giveaway}

Don't you just love quality products. Especially the good stuff from a long-time reputable brand at a doesn't-break-the-bank price? I do! And Dial Miracle Oil Body Wash is just that. Dial has produced another fine new produce - Miracle Oil Body Wash with Marula Oil. This body wash feels so very good when you're washing and after. So soothing.

I love the fragrance. Floral. Nice. Rich. Yet, it isn't overcoming to one's senses. It lathers wonderfully creating a soft bubbly wash using a bath poof or wash cloth.

So many of the products on the market today for bath or skin care have fragrances that are simply over powering. But not so with this Dial Miracle Oil Body Wash. I have found the scent to be a feminine and lady-like flora with just a touch some other note I can't distinguish. Just lovely.

It doesn't leave an "oily" residue but rinses off leaving you with refreshingly smooth skin after bath. I found I still need lotion to smooth and hydrate my skin, but this is a very good bath wash.

About Marula Oil: Dial's Miracle Oil body wash is formulated with Micro Oil Technology for a luxurious, clean-rinsing lather that leaves skin feeling clean, soft and smooth. Marula oil is a major trend in hair care and cosmetics now growing in personal care items like body washes and soaps. Marula Oil Fact: Marula Oil comes from the fruit of the Marula tree. It is rich in omega fatty acids, Vitamins E and C, and antioxidants, and known to deeply hydrate and nourish skin.

Just what is Marula Oil? 

The Tsonga people of South Africa and Mozambique have used the oil as a moisturising body lotion for women and also as a massage oil for babies. In the past, women used Marula oil rather than water to clean themselves. Marula oil is extracted from the kernels (nuts) of the Marula tree (Sclerocarya birrea), from the Anacardiaceae family. Marula oil is traditionally used in cosmetics, in food as a cooking oil and as a meat preservative and to treat leather. copied
