Biz gets out the Toughest Stains on Summer Clothes

- brandy3

As a mom of three I go through tons of laundry a week. Specially if my kids stain their clothes, I want to pre-treat the stain immediately. With Biz Stain fighter I always know that my kids clothes will come out clean.

This summer has been a fun one, with lots of swimming and sports, with that comes a lot of laundry and grass stains. Stains can be really tough to get out, even simple food stains, and knowing my kids they like to rub them in and make them worse.

Biz was the first enzyme based pre-soak and color-safe bleach that Moms have trusted to remove stains from the family’s laundry, for more than 40 years. Different types of stains need different ingredients to clean them. Science shows that there is no one single ingredient that cleans everything well. So why doesn’t every brand put all of these ingredients in? Probably because it costs more to do that. But BIZ didn’t cut corners here… BIZ has more stainfighters than other brands. That’s why it works better.

Not only do I use Biz to pre treat stains, I also use 1 cup in every load I wash just to give it that extra boost. My clothes look bright and are stain free I just love it.

- brandy3 1 Comment

I absolutely love to color my nails and having two daughters they love it too. Whenever we go to the store we are always looking for the newest colors and how they would look. When I heard about SinfulColors Pride Collection, I wanted it.

SinfulColors Pride Collection

Not only does it have 8 beautiful colors, it comes together in a cute carrying case and can be used for anything from plain color to gorgeous designs.

Celebrating the historic Victory for same sex marriage and equality, SinfulColors has introduced The Pride Collection and their support of the Trevor Project. Each of the eight shades in the pride collection captures the energy and passion of freedom and love. Each bottle is beautiful but together they form a rainbow united in color.

SinfulColors Pride

I have been trying to change my colors frequently to try them all. My first week, I had Love Thy Self, with Envious on my middle fingers and then the pride glitter polish on top. The colors are just gorgeous. I had people complimenting my nails all the time.

This week I changed to just Orange (Sugar Pumpkin) and love the color. I tried Yellow (Bye Felicia) on my toes but didn’t like the way they came out. Maybe I’ll just use the yellow for designing on my nails.

Have you found the SinfulColor Pride Collection in stores yet? You can find them at retailers nationwide or Buy the pack here.

When it comes to finding the perfect gift for your loved one, it’s a nightmare. I know my husband can be the hardest person to shop or at times. his style changes and he is not materialistic at all. The last few gifts I have gotten him have been watches. He loves them, but goes through them a lot.

I love the Jord watches that I saw online they are just gorgeous and the colors and styles would match any outfit.

one of my favorites is:

This watch is perfect for anyone in your life.

For the ladies my favorite is the Cora Purpleheart and Mother of Pearl.

This watch is gorgeous. I wear it all the time and have received so many compliments about it. The watch is very delicate though as it is made of wood, I am so afraid I am going to break it at times.

The watch arrives in a beautiful wooden box that can be used for anything afterwards. The watch is seated on a soft pillow which just makes the setting as gorgeous.

Costco’s P&G Products are making it Easier of me to move.

- brandy3 1 Comment

This post was sponsored by P&G as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. I received complimentary products to facilitate my review.

We just moved three thousand miles, I know I have been talking about it a lot. It’s been such a big adjustment and we sold or gave away almost everything we owned to make it easier. One of my goals before we moved was to get a club membership. Since we are moving with nothing, I wanted to be able to go out and buy in bulk once we got to our new place.
We only had a Costco near us so why not. Signing up for the membership was easy and I was in shock by all the great deals and items they had.

Costco

I stocked up on Mr. Clean Magic Erasers, Swiffer Sweeper refills, and Bounty Advanced Paper Towels. All the items that I could use on our old house and new.
The Swiffer refills come in handy on all the hardwood floors at our old house. a 1700 square foot house with all Hardwood floors, we almost went through the whole box just cleaning up the place. It happens I have 3 kids who track in everything.
The Bounty Advanced Paper towels are great for little spills and cleaning windows and mirrors.
The Mr. Clean Magic Erasers we go through like hot cakes, and they come in handy having kids. They clean stains and drawings off the walls. Coffee stains of the counter, makeup stains. I really haven’t found anything it can’t get clean yet.
Costco has really made this move so much better, and saved me a ton on cleaning supplies.

Cost

Don’t miss out n these great deals on P&G products at Costco and stock up for summer cleaning. Its also a good way to stock up on cleaning supplies for your local school, when school starts again.

Do you have a Costco membership? What do you think of the great deals?

- brandy3 1 Comment

We just moved to California and it’s so hot and bright here. I mean that literally I feel like the sun is so much brighter here. I can’t leave the house without sunglasses, and my kids complain if they don’t have them also. My kids grow so fast that I am buying them sunglasses constantly and they need a good pair that will last for a while and won’t break. I was recently introduced to Aces Sunglasses for my kids and they are just what we needed.

My kids are older, ages 8,10 and 11 and the pair we received fit them great. My older daughter actually has them now and wears them all the time. I love how resistant they are to drops and everyday play. Plus they shield their eyes from the sun so well. We have been the shades at the pool everyday.

We are in California

- brandy3 1 Comment

DSCN3604

As I had mentioned before we decided to move 3000 miles from Connecticut to California for better opportunities. Well as of this weekend we are here. I haven’t lived in California for 23 years and it’s a real system shock.
Everything is different and even my favorite restaurants i’ve missed the food isn’t the same.

I am getting use to everything again from the time change, to the weather, skin changes, etc.

The weather here is gorgeous compared to the east coast, but it’s super hot and I am seriously missing the green grass and trees of the East Coast. Plus I am having trouble remembering that every time I go outside I need sun tan lotion and sun glasses. Yes it is that bright outside.

In combination with the sun block and heat, different environment I now have acne issues again. It is driving me crazy, but I hope it’s just a summer thing and will pass.

There are a few things in California that I have learned to love and that I just don’t get at all.

I love that I am around my family again. Although sometimes it can be a lot of Drama, it’s great knowing I have a support system.

I love being so close to San Fransisco and getting to see the sights and some opportunities it brings. Plus where I live everything is newer and pretty.

Dont get:

There is a serious budget problem for schools here. little to no money and I just found out that our new school district dropped there bus program in 2007. So the money that was going to that would go towards education.
I guess I get that education is more important, but it makes it so inconvenient in so many ways.
It’s a pain for me, since we don’t have second car and my kids are young I don’t trust them walking on their own.
The bay area already has a traffic problem and big pollution problem. So instead of having say a couple hundred busses for kids in the district, they would rather have thousands of parents driving their kids to school.

Everything is so spread out. From where I live there is nothing in a reasonable walking distance. All fast food and stores are at least 5 or more miles. We have a Safeway closer but that stores is a bit pricey.

Overall I haven’t made my final decision on my true thoughts on California. It’s a bit to soon, I think. It’s got it’s pros and cons and only time will tell how it will work out.

Have you lived or been to California? What do you think?
