Purex Crystals and Jockey Tech Terry Performance Sports Bra Review & Giveaway!

As a Purex Insider and Jockey Inner Circle Blogger, I’m thrilled to share two wonderful products that work perfectly together.  The Jockey Tech Terry sports bra is perfect to include in your workout gear for the new year!  We all want to keep that new year resolution to work out and be healthy but we also need the right workout gear!  The Jockey Tech Terry sports bra features moisture wicking technology to keep you dry and your body cool while you work out and Purex Crystals Tropical Splash will keep it fresh after you work out!  I’m keeping my resolutions with these wonderful products while staying fresh at the same time!

Purex Crystals Tropical Splash has liquid softening fabric softeners that contain softening oils, which prevent moisture wicking fabrics from working.  Purex Crystals is an innovative freshening product that doesn’t use oil for softening , so it can be used on all types of laundry - including your Jockey sports bra.  What a perfect match!  I also love the new Purex Crystals Tropical Splash fabric softener scent!

The 2012 Jockey Tech Terry Performance Sports Bra is a moisture-wicking sports bra that helps keep you cool and dry and it has a convenient key pocket so you can take your workouts anywhere!  It also has a reflective logo on the back to keep you safe and breathable mesh panels with a soft bottom band for comfortable support.  The fabric is 93% polyester and 7% spandex and the lining is 94% polyester and 6% spandex so it can be machine washed and dried.  I feel safe if I’m going jogging, walking or bike riding when it gets warmer with the reflective logo.  I also already tried it and it’s comfortable and I still felt fresh after I worked out a good sweat.  I sweat profusely so this sports bra really helps me stay cool and Purex Crystals keeps it fresh everytime I wash and use it. 

Normally, you should not use fabric softener on performance sportswear because the oil content prevents the wicking process.  That’s why I’m so excited about the two products working together. 

2012 Purex Crystals is the more natural way to freshen your clothes for weeks, not days.  Purex Crystals are 92% natural crystals that go in at the start of the wash so they spend more time with your laundry infusing them with long lasting freshness.  Remember, Purex Crystals do not contain oil, so it can safely be used on all laundry including:

  • Athletic wear
  • Towels
  • Children’s sleepwear
  • and everything else!

Purex Crystals is available in Fresh Spring Waters, Lavender Blossoms and Tropical Splash scents.  So far my favorites are Fresh Spring Waters and Tropical Splash.  I love how my athletic wear, towels and clothes smell and feel when I use them.  The innovative Purex Crystals formula does not impact the sweat wicking on your new Jockey Sports Bra.  Please try it today.  Purex and Jockey are offering my readers and Purex and Jockey enthusiasts a 20% coupon for Jockey at Purex.com/Jockey.  Resolve to be fitter, healthier and stay fresher this year with Purex and Jockey!

Purex Crystals and Jockey are also giving away the same products I received to review to one of my readers.  All you have to do is like this post and follow my blog on Tumblr and Facebook and me on Twitter and Tweet “@margaritaviera I follow your blog and entered your @Purex Crystals and @Jockey sports bra contest! #purexcrystals #jockeysportsbra”.  The deadline to enter is January 20th by the end of the day.  Good luck!

Disclosure:  “Jockey and Purex provided free samples of their products so I could review them.  However, all of the opinions expressed here are my own.”

SeaPak Poptoberfest Giveaway and Review

My apologies for the delay to post this but I was sick. For the first time, SeaPak has launched the Poptoberfest festival, a family program that is currently being held during the month of October.  SeaPak is celebrating family and the time they are able to spend together.  Not only does SeaPak want families to enjoy delicious meals together, but they also want to encourage families to take a vacation from the everyday routine.

During Poptoberfest, friends and fans of SeaPak will be able to engage on Facebook where there will be weekly trivia, polls, and fun questions that celebrate family time together.  There were also different prizes and special coupon offers given away each week!  This is the last week!

To celebrate Poptoberfest, I was given a package of SeaPak Popcorn Fish and Popcorn Shrimp to try and my favorite is the Popcorn Shrimp but I like both about the same.  The Popcorn Fish are delicious with chips or even on their own and the Popcorn Shrimp are succulent and tasty just like the ones at restaurants!  SeaPak Popcorn Fish and Popcorn Shrimp changes the everyday routine to family fun during dinner and kids love them!  I love the different dinners/recipes you can prepare with them.  The following is my easy recipe:

Guacamole Popcorn Shrimp Tacos:

2 (12 oz) packages of SeaPak Popcorn Shrimp

8-10 flour tortillas, heated according to package directions

14 oz bag or head of iceberg lettuce

8 oz white cheddar cheese, shredded

8 oz sour cream

Guacamole (if desired):

2 avocados

  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 ripe tomato, chopped
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • salt and pepper to taste

Peel and mash avocados in a medium serving bowl.  Stir in onion, garlic, tomato, lime juice, salt and pepper.  Season with remaining lime juice and salt and pepper to taste.  Chill for half an hour to blend flavors

BAKE shrimp according to package directions.

COMBINE guacamole ingredients.

SPREAD a tablespoon of guacamole and sour cream over each warm tortilla with lettuce, cheese, and top with cooked shrimp.

Please visit SeaPak’s Facebook page to participate in Poptoberfest. Monday, October 31, 2011 is the last day so hurry!  SeaPak graciously decided to give one of my lucky readers a SeaPak Kitchen Pack, including: a SeaPak reusable grocery bag packed with a spatula, a cooking conversion magnet, a flexible cutting board, and a $3 off coupon good through 12/2011.  How cool is that?  All you have to do is the following:

Follow my blog on Facebook: http://on.fb.me/tirfw0 ,Bloggers, BlogLovin, NetworkedBlogs, and/or Tumblr and tweet:

Follow and RT @margaritaviera and celebrate Poptoberfest with SeaPak by visiting http://on.fb.me/rLWEkW and margaritavillesworld.tumblr.com. #seapakpoptoberfestgiveaway

Purex Complete Crystals Review and Giveaway

  

Have you seen the NEW Purex Complete Crystals Fabric Softener yet?  I am a Purex Insider and recently received a bottle to try (and GIVEAWAY).  I love this fabric softener! I first tried the crystals on my sheets and towels, and they have never been softer!  My sheets smell so amazing and welcoming, and the fragrance lasts for days.

Purex Complete Crystals Softener is 92% natural, and the crystals work differently than traditional oil-based softeners that coat fabrics with an oily residue.  Instead, the crystals infuse fabric fibers with long-lasting fragrance.  The crystals are added directly to your laundry at the beginning of the wash cycle for a worry-free wash.  

Purex Complete Crystals are safe for ALL laundry items and will not harm, wear down, or discolor your fabrics.  The crystals will preserve the flame retardant benefits of children’s clothes, retain your athletic wear’s wicking ability which draws sweat away from your body, maintain towels’ built-in ability to absorb water, and keep your white clothing from yellowing.

Purex Complete Crystals are available in 3 fragrances Fresh Spring Waters, Lavender Blossom, and Tropical Splash and sold in food, drug, and mass retailers nationwide. They are also safe for standard and High Efficiency washers.

For more information please visit http://www.purex.com/products/softeners/purex-complete-crystals.  Want to try it for FREE?  Purex provided coupons for FREE 28-ounce bottles of Purex Complete Crystals for THREE of my readers.  You can enter to win below.

Disclosure: I am a Purex Insider and help spread the word about the Purex® family of laundry products.
