Dial Coconut Water Mango Body Wash Review & Giveaway – Win a coupon for a FREE bottle!
Recently, I had the opportunity to try the new Dial Coconut Water Refreshing Mango body wash and now I get to share my thoughts about it with you – plus, two lucky readers will each win a coupon to try this product for themselves – for FREE!
I tried the original Dial Coconut Water body wash several months ago and I really liked it. So, really the only thing new and different is the scent – Mango. I liked the scent, it smells great in the bottle. It isn’t an overpowering scent, it’s pretty light when you’ve showered with it, so it’s not going to overwhelm anyone near you with the scent, which is something I like and there are some places I go where scent is a big no-no. I would not be worried about going to those places after using this body wash!
Like the original, this body wash is great for hydrating my skin and keeping it soft. It rinses off well, I don’t feel like there’s any residue left. I really like it! Want to try it for yourself? Here are the giveaway details:
The giveaway is open to US residents 18+ (and who have not won a giveaway from me in the last 2 months).

Spellbinders Celebra’tions Collection Review & Giveaway – Win a Spellbinders stamp set!
Before I found sweepstakes and fell in love, I had something else I loved madly (and yes, I do mean MADLY)! Card making with papers, stamps, ink and accessories – I still love it! That’s why I’m excited to share with you a new product line from Spellbinders I got to try out recently, thanks to Purex Insiders. I’m new to the Spellbinders company, but I loved these kits! Everything I needed to complete the projects were included, except for scissors and some adhesive. The projects went together very quickly – all the directions were there. It was quick, easy to assemble and a lot of fun!
Of course, I’m crafty, so I didn’t need all the directions since it had a photo with the directions. I’m sure that if you weren’t a crafty person, you could still put these together with ease – the directions are that good . I’m going to use these for some upcoming birthdays, I didn’t finish the cute bag, since I don’t have anything to fill it with yet.
So, this was a small sample of what you can get in the new Spellbinders Celebra’tions Collection. They have dies and stamp sets, paper and inks. It all looks fabulous and like it would make some cute cards and other paper crafts – you can see it all for yourself here.
Now – the giveaway! One lucky Sweepstakes in Seattle reader will win a 15-piece Spellbinders stamp set! You can see it in the photo. The set is called “Many Words” and you can see it here. You can earn up to 6 entries.
Entry One: Leave a comment telling me if you are familiar with Spellbinders Celebra’tions Collection and if you are a card maker or scrapbooker or have one in your life that you want to win the set for.

Purex No Sort Detergent Review & Giveaway:
Purex has a new laundry detergent that is advertised as No Sort. When I heard the words “No Sort”, I immediately wanted to try it and see if it would work for me. Anything to save time on laundry, right? At least for me, laundry is not my favorite chore. So, Purex sent me a bottle of the new laundry detergent to try (and share my opinion with you). I, of course, put it to the test right away. I washed a load of laundry that included some of my husband’s bright white under shirts and a couple of pairs of his older jeans and a variety of other clothing. I was hoping to see fabulous results like I get with Purex with Oxy. Unfortunately, the detergent did not pass this test – my husband’s under shirts came out slightly blue-grey and certainly not the bright white that they had been when I put them in the wash. I was bummed!
I’m not sure why this detergent didn’t work for me. I washed everything in cold water, the jeans were at least 2 yrs. old. Jeans are a hard test and I was hoping for great results. Maybe it’s my water or maybe the detergent needs some tweaking. I will say that the scent that I tried smelled fabulous. So, it didn’t work for me (it cleaned the clothes well, but didn’t eliminate the need to sort the clothes), would you like to try it for yourself and see if it works for you? I’m giving two of my readers a coupon to try Purex No Sort Detergent! To enter, leave a comment telling me how doing laundry without sorting would be beneficial to you and your family. To earn bonus entries, follow Sweepstakes in Seattle on Facebook and Pinterest and share the sweepstakes with your friends – leave a comment for each bonus entry that you have completed. The Giveaway will end Monday, April 28th. Good luck!

Purex Fabulously Fresh Crystals Review & Giveaway – Winners announced!
The Giveaway has ended and the two winners are Cheryl and Serina! Look for an email from Sweepstakes in Seattle soon! Congratulations!
It’s time for another giveaway! Two of my readers will win a coupon for a FREE bottle of the new, limited edition Purex Fabulously Fresh Crystals!
As you have probably figured out by now, I love Purex Crystals! They are the only fabric softener I ever use on my towels and bedding. I especially love the fact that they don’t make the towels less absorbent like other fabric softeners do.
I’m always up for trying something new, so when Purex offered me the chance to try a bottle of their newest scent for the crystals, I said “Sign me up!”.
I tested it on some bedding and a tablecloth. My thoughts? I like it, the scent is a little lighter and a bit more floral than some of the other scents they offer. I’m not sure the scent lasts as long as my favorite Purex Crystal scent Spring Waters. Pretty sure my hubby liked the smell. I had washed the tablecloth, folded it and put it in the storage drawer when my hubby walked into the room and told me that something smelled good- very fresh and clean. So, I’ll take that as a thumbs up from him! Bonus, the bottle is really pretty, too!
Now, don’t just take my word for it, enter my giveaway so you can try it for yourself.
Here’s how it works:
Entry #1: Leave me a comment telling me what your favorite fabric softener is and a little bit about why you like it.
Entry #2: Like Sweepstakes in Seattle on Facebook and then come back here and leave a comment telling me that you did. If you already like Sweepstakes in Seattle, share this giveaway on Facebook and then leave a comment saying that you did.
Entry #3: Follow Sweepstakes in Seattle’s “Sweepstakes to Enter” board on Pinterest and leave a comment telling me that you did.
Bonus Entry: Share this giveaway on Twitter and then comment with the link to your Tweet.
The Giveaway will end April 16, 2014.
Don’t forget – Purex also has a sweepstakes going right now to promote their Fabulously Fresh Crystals. I shared the sweepstakes here.

Dial Vitamin Boost Body Wash Review & Giveaway – Win a coupon for a FREE bottle!
Are you ready for another giveaway?! I hope you are because one lucky winner will be getting a coupon for a FREE bottle of Dial Vitamin Boost Body Wash (I’ll tell you how to enter after my review of the product).
Dial sent me their new Dial Vitamin Boost Body Wash to try out and let my readers know what I thought about it. I was excited to see it arrive, I opened the bottle immediately to see how it smelled and was pleased by the scent. It’s not too floral and just has a nice, clean smell to it. I read all the suggestions about how to share this product. One of the suggestions was to show the product in action. Did you hear that?? Show a body wash in action. Hhmmmm. I decided that this was probably an instruction that was sent out with all the tester products. Showing a laundry detergent in action is very tame, a body wash in action…not so tame!
Anyway, as you can see by the photo above, I did manage to catch my body wash in action, hanging out with my towel and solage in my bathroom. I’m pretty sure they were talking about how they both make my skin nice and soft!
Anyway, what do I think about the Dial Vitamin Boost Body Wash now that I’ve tried it? I think it’s pretty amazing! It smells great and doesn’t fight with my perfume to make some strange combination “perfume”. My skin feels nice and soft (and this is winter, people – when skin likes to get dry and crack). Must be because it’s lotion infused that I have such healthy skin lately. Definitely, a winner product in my opinion.
Don’t just take my word for it, though! Enter my giveaway by 5 pm Thursday, Feb. 20, 2014 to win a coupon for your very own FREE bottle of Dial Vitamin Boost Body Wash!
Here’s how to enter (up to 3 entries per person):
1 entry – leave a comment telling me what your favorite body wash is and why.
1 entry – like Sweepstakes in Seattle on Facebook (leave a comment telling me that you liked SIS on FB
1 entry – share Sweepstakes in Seattle Facebook page with friends (copy the URL of your FB share and leave it in a comment here)
