Momma Told Me: It's not like you're allergic to everything!
I've told me readers time and again about my mysterious battle with hives, at age 4, and Momma's dismay when she learned she was indirectly the cause with her choice in laundry detergent. Still quite young, I was crushed to think that 'scent' was causing all of my itching and misery. Would I never get to wear Momma's expensive perfumes, or enjoy the gentle snuggle of scent on laundry fresh from the dryer? There was a silly little phase, I recall, somewhere after stealing my teacher's makeup (convinced makeup had given Momma cancer), and the hives, where I was certain any and everything I cam into contact with could quite literally kill me. Perhaps the world's biggest, and most illogical, hypochondriac was little 'ol me circa age 5. I threw out all of my glitter lotions, piggy paints, and watercolor 'lipstick'. And, when Momma would light a candle, or clear the room's odors with an air freshening spray, I'd recoil in shrieks and squeals. Living with sensitive skin has, thankfully, been much less drama than my child's mind made out. However, I do have to be exceptionally careful when I do laundry; after all, clothing and fabric covers a large portion of our skin, day-long. The slightest of irritant in the wash can result in loads of re-washing and extra rinsing. Who has time for that? For many years I used powdered Arm & Hammer, unscented, simply because that was what Momma swore by. I'd longingly smell softener additives and dryer sheets at the grocery store and imagine what it might be like to enjoy those smells on my own clothing and bedding. And, as much as I rave about Purex, as it's one of the gentlest brands for me, few products in their range mean more to me than the Natural Elements line. Entirely Hypoallergenic and dye-free, Natural Elements was formulated specially for people like me. And now there's an entirely new fragrance, paired with DirtLift Action; Tropical Splash.
That's right, keeping the island escape theme alive, is the new Tropical Splash, nature inspired, fragrance. Like many of the products in the Purex line, Tropical Splash is a very subtle, yet long lasting, aroma that reminds me of lillies and pineapple, without being overwhelmingly floral or feminine. Not only are Purex Natural Elements liquid detergents sold at a competitive low price, but at my local WalMart as well. Unfortunately, I have a hard time finding the entire range at my local grocery stores, so I am always sure to stock up when we make a WalMart run. Then there's the added bonus of the DirtLift Action, which helps pull stains and debris from deep within the fibers of your fabric, for a truly powerful clean you can see and smell.
You may recall that Purex has partnered with some pretty amazing island-minded products for 2013, including new Honey Bunches of Oats Tropical Blends and Dial Coconut Water Body Wash. At the launch of these exciting products the Tropical Trio Sweepstakes was also launched. Teaming Honey Bunches with Purex and Outrigger Waikiki resorts, this amazing sweepstakes will put free product in the hands of 100 runner's up, and a Year's Supply of Purex and Honey Bunches in the hands of 5 lucky 1st Place Winners. But the prize everyone's clamoring over is the Grand Prize; 4 Night Stay at Outrigger Waikiki for 2! Entrants can enter once a day between now and April 15th, so hurry on over and start collecting entries, and keep your eyes out for Purex Natural Elements Tropical Splash near you!
