NEW Purex® Natural Elements Tropical Splash detergent Giveaway & Review

NEW Purex® Natural Elements Tropical Splash detergent!

Purex® Natural Elements Tropical Splash detergent combines the new island scented fragrance with the proven performance of Purex laundry detergent.  I love how it makes me feel like I am on a tropical beach while, in fact, I am in my own laundry room doing the laundry!  I don't know about you but I haven't been away to Hawaii in years but Purex® Natural Elements Tropical Splash detergent makes me feel like I am really there.

Purex® Natural Elements Tropical Splash detergent is safe for HE washing machines just like all the Purex brand detergents. It is gentle on even the most sensitive skin like my family.  We all have sensitive skin but we never have any issues with the Purex laundry detergents. I love that it is a nature-inspired fragrance that is married to an effective laundry detergent too!  

 I love that new Purex® Natural Elements Tropical Splash detergent lets me "sneak away" on a mini tropical vacation without the time, expense or bother of packing all those pesky clothes. In April, Purex will be releasing not just one but TWO exclusive coupons to our e-newsletter subscribers. In order to have access to these digital coupons, consumers not already signed up for the Purex e-Newsletter must opt-in by next Friday, March 29.

Wow Wee Art See Studios Review Kids 3+ Ipad Tech Toy

I recently received a wonderful new creative high tech toy, ArtSee Studio for kids age 3+ from WowWee.  It works with your own ipad (any generation) which slides right in the sturdy case (think:  protected!) you download the free ArtSee Studio app from the itunes store and it works seamlessly together.  We have been having so much fun with it I have had to ration it out to make sure the homework gets done on time. The funny part is, it says 3+ but it definitely is a game that grows with the child.  Little ones can start out with the simpler pre-set scenes and add to them.  Ass they learn, they can really develop and combine the different aspects, create their own scenes and make some cool creations!  They can even take a picture of themselves with the ipad and incorporate their picture into an art scene on the app. How fun is that?  My school age daughter keeps saying, "There is so much cool stuff to do with ArtSee Studio, I can't believe they say it is for 3+." 

You can see above that ArtSee Studio has tons of variations that can be combined and mixed to make animated pictures and unbelievable scenes.  Think of all the creativity they can do with 72 stamp variations, 15 roller with neat patterns, 3 built in theme packs, 60 challenging activities in 5 different games plus 18 coloring pages!  Imagine the fun peace and quiet for you kids can have even for long plane trips or car adventures.  ArtSee Studio comes with a stylus and tools that are all easy to work with and are durably constructed.  Your ipad any model (I happen to have an ipad 3) fits very easily in the well constructed and colorful case which you can see above in the first picture.  ArtSee Studio even designed their case with a movable protective block so that younger children can't accidentally click themselves out of the app and into your important stuff.

They can play learning games, create cool patterns, play music and even add animation and special effects on screen.  It is fun to do together with grown-ups too. We love that you can save the pictures to the ArtSee app or send them to the Art See gallery.  You can even send them to Gramma!  It includes an easy to grip stylus which young artists can use as a pencil, marker, crayon or paintbrush.  They can then start using the stamps to add more detail, animation, sound or more sophistication to their creation.  Grown-ups will be glad to know there are hidden parental controls which also include sound adjustment aaah my ears say thank you too.  G-d bless them.  Little ones can start out with the pre-set scenes and add animals or vehicles to them and go from there.

You can combine themes within the ArtSee Studio too. You can see below we were creating a safari scene. We took a vehicle from one scene and added it to the safari and then went back and added grass and footsteps...ooops someone jumped out of the Range Rover....better watch out because we were just going to add the wild animals....run fast!!!! 

The ArtSee Studio sells for $39.99 and you can buy it directly from the WowWee online store You can follow ArtSee Studio on Twitter and on Facebook to keep up with all their new creative entertainment products.
