Review: Purex® Complete 3-in-1™ Laundry Sheets

I have been accepted as a Purex Insider, where I get to test products and give feedback. I am excited because I am not the biggest fan when it comes to laundry.

I received Purex^® Complete 3-in-1^™ Laundry Sheets. I was kind of skeptical looking at the product, thinking one sheet can be used in three different ways? Not only as detergent, but softener and anti-static as well. My husband was sure it wasn't going to work.

After I loaded the clothes into the washer, I placed one Laundry sheet and let it run its cycle. Then I transferred the same load into the dryer along with the same Laundry sheet and let the dryer run its cycle.

When the load was finished, my husband and I were impressed that the clothes were clean and smelled nicely!

I was relieved to see how easier washing the clothes became! I am planning on using Purex Complete 3-in-1 Laundry Sheets.

Product Review: Joey Totes

I had the privilege of trying out Joey Totes. I received a Joey Set, which consisted of large, medium, and small totes. I was excited to try them out because I am always looking for ways to save money and help the environment.

Helping the environment and saving money are interdependent--mutually exclusive. When you go green, you tend to save money. When you save money, you tend to help the environment. Let's be real--going 100% going green overnight by saving money in every area can be overwhelming. My advice is start one step at a time.


It has been over a year since I bring my own reusable bags when I grocery shop. It takes time and discipline to remember to carry the bags. By bringing my own bags, I don't have to pay for the store's bags, therefore don't have to throw away either.

First time we used Joey Set was when my husband was doing the laundry. He needed an extra basket/bag to put an extra load. He and I looked at the Joey Set and had the same idea. We put one load of laundry in the large Joey tote. Hubby dumps the load of laundry into the washer along with the tote bag to wash. However, we let it air dry.

Once the tote air dried, we folded the totes into small pouches and put them in the car for convenience. Now, one I go grocery shopping, I carry the pouches along with a grocery list. You can't help, but smile when you see those totes. Not only are they strong and durable, they are also cute and somewhat modern.

Review: Basa Body Products

I had the privilege of reviewing some Basa Body Products originated from the coast of Kenya. What I love most about these products, not only did they feel good when I used the Natural Coconut Oil Lotion, Basa Body Stick and the Mint Truffle Soap, they are made up organic virgin coconut oil, meaning there aren't unnecessary chemicals that are harsh to your skin.

The Natural Coconut Oil (100%) Lotion soothes the skin once it is applied. I felt the lotion absorbed into my skin. It also smells great. Not only to smooth skin, the Natural Coconut Oil fights aging with natural antioxidants.

Basa Body Stick is more of a balm instead of a lotion -- not for the lips, but for elbows, knuckles and hands. I tested it by rubbing some on my hands. I felt as if they were being massaged by the Basa Body Stick. My hands felt relaxed and soothed.

Imagine my surprise when I smelled a scent of chocolate as I opened the Basa Body products. What I saw was a Mint Truffle Soap! Being a chocoholic, I thought this was one of the most unique products I have ever seen. Not only does the soap moisturize the skin, your senses get stimulated. Very refreshing.
