Review: Poo-Pourri

What's the most unpleasant thing you do on a regular (hopefully) basis? What if I told you about something that could make it less unpleasant? Would you want to know?

I thought so! What I am going to tell you about will become a must own item. You'll want one for when you travel, one to keep in your purse, one to give to your father-in-law, even teenagers will want one. This product can help you avoid embarrassment in just about any circumstance. No one will ever have to know the next time you have "tummy-trouble."

It's called Poo-Pourri. And I think it is a must have for every bathroom in the house. We've been using it for a few months and it makes a world of difference in our small home. The basic idea is that your spray a spritz of Poo-Pourri into the toilet bowl before you, ahem, take care of business, and it masks the odor by putting a protective layer of essential oils on the water. All anyone smells is the herbal scent of bergamot, lemongrass, and grapefruit (or other blend depending on which Poo-Pourri item you choose).

There are other combinations of herbal scents depending on which variety you buy. Here are some of the most popular ones:
  1. Poo-Pourri Original
  2. Poo-Pourri Monogram (for fancy, personalized bathrooms & gifts)
  3. Heaven Scent (with white jasmine florals)
  4. Poo-Pourri Jr Lil' Stinker (the one we tried and also use in the toilet)
  5. Pooch-Pourri

I do know that you can find these in some boutique stores using the Poo-Pourri locator, or you can just buy them online.

I had one friend suggest that this would be the perfect thing to pack if you are going to a convention and need to share a room with people who might not be your best friend. If I owned a vacation rental home, I might stock it there as well.

Either way, I do not ever want to run out of this stuff! We've had a 4 ounce bottle since October and it isn't even a third of the way gone. It doesn't take much to make your bathroom smell pleasant when it matters most!

I'm curious, if you were going to give this as a gift, who would you give it too? I won't tell, I promise!

Disclaimer: I received 1 4 ounce bottle of Poo-Pourri Jr. Lil' Stinker to facilitate my review. I did not use it on diapers though, we just use it for the people who are potty trained. :)

Giveaway: Bake Me A Wish

Image
This giveaway is closed. When I came home from running errands recently, I saw a big box sitting on my doorstep. As I got closer, the anticipation built and then I realized it was a Vanilla Bean Cake from Bake Me A Wish! Woo hoo! This was a review I knew my husband would enjoy participating in. The Vanilla Bean cake from Bake Me a Wish! came packed in a cooler and ice pack because it is perishable. It took self control, but I put it in the fridge straight away and waited patiently for my husband to come home so we could celebrate life. When we finally got to sample the cake, I put some candles on it so Charlotte could practice blowing them out. We are slowly getting ready for the big day of her birthday party and have never put candles on a cake for her before. As I was enjoying my slice of the Vanilla Bean Cake, Bruce and I brainstormed when this type of cake service might be useful. And here is the list we came up with: When you want a gourmet cake, but don't have acces...

Win Free Cereal

This giveaway is closed. Winners will be announced later this weekend. I've definitely been on the giveaway wagon recently and am glad to be participating in the Fall Bloggy Giveaways Carnival. For this giveaway, I have FOUR (yes, you read that right - 4 winners!) full-price coupons for a new cereal from General Mills. Per their marketing, this cereal " combines great-tasting chocolatey puffs with vanilla puffs, a classic combination that kids love. Even better, Cocoa Puffs Combos is made with whole grain and is a good source of Calcium and Vitamin D." I love cereal. I could eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and as a snack in between all of those. I am particularly fond of Lucky Charms. The crunchy combined with the sweet marshmallows gets me every time. All you have to do to enter is tell me what your favorite cereal is and leave some way for me to contact you, either through a blog or e-mail. This giveaway is open to US residents only (because I don't think t...

Note to Self

Image
This giveaway is closed. Winners will be announced later this weekend. Warning: Since I typically have a family-friendly blog, I want to let my readers know that this post is not safe for little eyes. Have you ever sat down with a new friend and found you stayed up way too late talking about every subject under the sun? Discussing religion, careers, and yes, even sex, even though you've only known each other for a very short period of time? That is what it was like for me to read Note to Self - On Keeping a Journal and Other Dangerous Pursuits , by Samara O'Shea. Once I started it, I felt like Samara and I were just hanging out on my couch, sipping decaf lattes and having a conversation. (Okay, Samara might be sipping something harder, but I'm still nursing.) It was that easy to read. The basic premise of her newest book is teaching people how to write in a journal, by sharing her own journal entries. Personally, she wrote for therapy, sharing "A journal is an effecti...
