Wisk® Laundry Detergent Stain Spectrum™ Technology Put to the Test

Jules — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 23:53:59 +0000

I finally got a bottle of the new Wisk® Laundry Detergent Stain Spectrum™ Technology that I told you about here. And I put it to the test right away on a protein stain.

Protein stains are things like eggs, baby formula, and spinach. But the most common one you’ll recognize is the grass stains that are on your kid’s pants after they come inside from playing. After putting the Wisk® Laundry Detergent to the test, I’m fairly confident to say you won’t have any trouble getting protein stains out again.

See how nicely the new Wisk® Laundry Detergent Stain Spectrum™ Technology removed the protein stain:

Teen Driver of Truck Meets Las Vegas RTC City Bus

Jules — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 16:53:36 +0000

Every moms worst nightmare has happened TWICE now within 6 months. My oldest teenage son was involved in yet another car accident, no injuries this time. Yes, the second one in a 6 month period. He’s been the passenger in both accidents, with his girlfriend behind the wheel. I love her immensely, and she’s a wonderful girl, but her driving leaves a lot to be desired.

Her dad is a damn funny guy though. When he arrived at the accident scene, he looked at her and pointed to the city bus and said, “That’s going to be your only form of transportation for the next year.” We all laughed so hard and the motorcycle cop spit the water he was drinking on the ground. LOL!

Wisk Laundry Detergent – Ring Around the Collar Is A Thing Of The Past

Jules — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 15:52:40 +0000

Depending on how old you are, you may or may not remember the old Wisk® laundry detergent’s Ring Around The Collar commercials. A lot has changed with the old Wisk® laundry detergent, and with it’s new Stain Spectrum™ Technology, this definitely isn’t your mother’s Wisk® that she used.

How many of you still pre-treat collars with your laundry detergent cap this way? I do, ha!

As the first liquid laundry detergent to market in 1956, Wisk® has been cleaning America’s laundry for the past 50 years. Now, they’ve upgraded their product, with the powerful new stain fighting formula, Stain Spectrum™ Technology.

When I was growing up my brother and I didn’t hang around inside the house watching TV or playing on the computer. We were outside, riding bikes, catching frogs and tadpoles at the pond, and getting dirty. My mom had some dirty clothes to clean!

Today, my teenage boys don’t get as dirty as I did, but my youngest is a skateboarder, so he comes home pretty stinky and sweaty. And don’t get me started on his socks…NOT a pretty smell, gag. The joys of having boys I’m really looking forward to trying the new Wisk® laundry detergent.

Here’s the new Wisk® laundry detergent of today…a whole new way to look at stains, forever!

New Wisk® with Stain Spectrum™ Technology is engineered to target the major stain groups:

Carbohydrates such as milk chocolate
Proteins such as grass
Oils such as peanut butter
Bio such as blood
Bleachable such as coffee
Particulate such as dirt
Synthetic such as ink

Wisk® laundry detergent is available in August at major retailers nationwide, such as Walmart, Target and Kroger. Suggested Retail Price is $5.99 for 50 fl oz. bottles that cleans 32 loads.

Jules — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 23:55:41 +0000

At the end of last year I had decided to change my blog focus, and keep the day-to-day life stuff off my blog.

I hope it’s not too late. Are you still here reading?

Vons Home Grocery Delivery Rocks!

Jules — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 17:47:20 +0000

I had the chance to try out Vons Home Grocery Delivery for the first time last Saturday, and it was such an awesome experience! We had planned to have a yard sale all day, so I ordered my groceries on Friday night for delivery on Saturday.

Ordering my groceries from the website was really easy. I used the “Shop By Aisle” feature to quickly find the products that I wanted, which made it super easy. They also list the sales, and Von’s card savings items, so I ended up saving $25.00 on my order.

My delivery guy Rod was super professional and friendly. He knew that this was my first time ordering, so he gave me a tour of the truck to see where he stored the different type foods. His truck has a dry section, the freezer section, and the refrigerated section. My delivery number was 005, so he checked in all the sections for the crates labeled with 005.

I was pretty busy with my yard sale at the time, so I didn’t notice that I was missing some items until about 30 minutes later. I immediately called the customer service number on my invoice, and Rod called me back from his cell phone within minutes. He was back at my house with the missing items within 20 minutes. Now THAT’S excellent customer service!

I was VERY satisfied with this service, and will use them again when I know I’m going to be too busy to get to the store. Do any of you use home grocery delivery services? How do you like it?

If you haven’t used home grocery services before, I have an exclusive promotion code for free delivery and $7 off your first online order. Just go to Vons Home Grocery Delivery and use JLSJRNL at checkout. ENJOY!

I received two gift cards from DEI Worldwide to facilitate this blog post and help with the expenses. Special thanks to Vons Home Grocery Delivery

Caress Whipped Soufflé Body Wash Review

Jules — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 18:53:26 +0000

As you know, I am a HUGE fan of Caress body washes. They have been my favorite for a long time, and I love trying out their new products and scents when they are released. I got the chance to try out the new Caress line, Whipped Soufflé Body Wash, and it is just awesome! It squeezes out of the bottle in a thick whipped texture, then lathers into a bubbly, great smelling, body wash. LOVE!

Caress Whipped Soufflé Body Washes is available in two great fragrances, Blackberry Cream, whipped with blackberry and vanilla essence, and White Peach Cream, whipped with white peach and a blend of silk blossom. I didn’t try the White Peach Cream, but the Blackberry Cream smells soooo good, I’m sure it is just as wonderful as well.

The soundtrack also features the stars of Sex and the City 2, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon, performing the Helen Reddy classic I Am Woman. I’m ALL pumped for the movie now more than ever.
