Once we got it my 7-yr-old wanted one too so we gave him his own for Christmas. They both really love them and they've held up really well.

Great Giveaway: Purex® Complete Crystals Softener! 3 Winners! Ends 3/13

As a Purex Insider, I was sent both a sample of the new Purex Complete Crystals Softener and a coupon for a free bottle. The sample was Spring Waters fragrance so I got the Tropical Splash fragrance with the coupon, that way I could try 2 of the 3 scents. If you're interested in becoming a Purex Insider, you can apply here.

WHAT IS IT?
(From the Fact Sheet)

WHAT IT IS & UNIQUE CRYSTAL FORM, 92% NATURAL FABRIC SOFTENER
Introducing Purex® Complete Crystals Softener; a purer way to get laundry that
smells clean and fresh for weeks. 92% natural, this product’s unique crystal form works
differently than traditional oil-based softeners that coat fabrics with oily residue, because it infuses fibers with long-lasting fragrance. In addition, since you add it directly with your laundry, this means no more waiting for the rinse cycle, no messy residual gunk in your washing machine, and no more stains from spilling liquid fabric softener.

HOW IT’S USED & ADDED WITH LAUNDRY AT THE START OF THE WASH CYCLE
Why struggle with plastic fabric softener balls, risk staining your clothes or waste time
waiting for the rinse cycle? Simply add Purex Complete Crystals Softener directly with
your laundry at the beginning of every wash cycle to infuse fabrics with long lasting
freshness.

HOW IT WORKS & CRYSTALS DISSOLVE INFUSING FABRICS WITH FRESHNESS
Laundry scent lovers will perk up as freshness is infused into clothes with this new fabric
softener. Over time, traditional oil-based softeners coat fibers causing harmful oily
residue to accumulate. Purex Complete Crystals Softeners penetrate fabrics to reduce
fiber entanglement and smooth frayed fibers providing a naturally soft feel.

WHY IT’S DIFFERENT & SAFE FOR ALL LAUNDRY AND BETTER FOR FABRICS
Do ALL of your laundry—worry free! Purex Complete Crystals Softeners are safe for
all laundry and will not harm, wear down or discolor your fabrics like oil-based softeners.
Safe for all fabrics, including baby clothes, athletic wear, towels, and whites. Unlike other softeners, Crystals WILL:

• Preserve the flame retardant benefits of your children’s clothes
• Retain your athletic wear’s wicking ability which draws sweat away from your body
• Maintain your towels’ built-in ability to absorb water
• Keep your white clothing from yellowing and graying vs. using traditional softeners

The product won’t harm your clothes and is safe and convenient for the entire family!

VARIETIES & ON-TREND SCENTS
Purex Complete Crystals Softener is available in three on-trend fragrances: Fresh
Spring Waters, Lavender Blossom, and Tropical Splash.

REVIEW:
I love the new Purex Crystals. I used to only use fragrance-free laundry products due to allergies and chemical sensitivities. However, when Purex came out with their 3-in-1 sheets I decided to try their "Fresh Scent" and found not only did it not set off our allergies but it was light enough that it didn't bother our sensitivities. Plus, we found we much preferred our clothes having a "clean" smell to them. So, until I was sent a sample of the new Purex Crystals, that's what I've been using. Once I was sent the sample I used them with some Purex Free and Clear detergent I had left from before I started using the sheets. I'll admit I was a bit skeptical, but I was actually really impressed. It worked well and we really liked the Spring Waters fragrance. It was light enough not to set off our sensitivities but enough to keep the clothes smelling clean. I then tried the Tropical Splash and was just as impressed.

BUY IT!
Get a $1 off Coupon here. Purex Complete Crystals Softener is available in stores for around $3.99-5.99.

TCM: 31 Days of Oscar: Miracle on 34th Street Giveaway Ends 2/28

Turner Classic Movies (TCM) is getting trivial with its annual 31 DAYS OF OSCAR® festival in February. The 2011 edition of the month-long event will feature more than 340 Academy Award®-nominated and winning movies, scheduled in trivia-inspired marathons. In addition, each night will feature a Best Picture Oscar winner at 10 p.m. (ET).

TCM host Robert Osborne, who is also the official biographer of the Academy Awards and the Academy's red carpet greeter, will host 31 DAYS OF OSCAR, which will mark its 17th year on Turner Classic Movies. The 2011 edition will feature several high-profile films making their debuts on TCM, including three Best Picture winners: Cavalcade (1933), Amadeus (1984) and Forrest Gump (1994). The month also includes the TCM debuts of the blockbusters Pretty Woman (1990) and Thelma & Louise (1991), as well as outstanding dramas like Hugh Hudson's Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes (1984), Hector Babenco's Kiss of the Spider Woman (1985), Spike Lee's Do the Right Thing (1989) and Michael Mann's Ali (2001).

Several excellent actress showcases are planned for TCM for the first time, including Janet Gaynor in Street Angel (1928), Ingrid Bergman in Joan of Arc (1948) and The Inn of the Sixth Happiness (1958), Marilyn Monroe in Bus Stop (1956), Julie Andrews in Star! (1968) and Cathy Burns in Last Summer (1969). Also, such international classics as Hiroshi Teshigahara's Woman in the Dunes (1964), Constantine Costa-Gavras' Z (1969), Jean-Charles Tacchella's Cousin, Cousine (1975), Jean-Paul Rappeneau's Cyrano de Bergerac (1990) and Krzysztof Kieslowski's Three Colors: Red (1994) will come to TCM for the first time.

Among the month's many interesting marathons are a collection of films starring Jack Nicholson, the most nominated performer of all time; four films that received nominations in all four acting categories; an entire day featuring all ten Best Picture nominees for Hollywood's Golden Year, 1939, including Gone with the Wind and The Wizard of Oz; a day of romantic comedies on Valentine's Day; a night of Oscar firsts; a slate of films that earned Best Director nominations but failed to earn Best Picture nods; and a night of films that earned participants posthumous nominations.

The Academy Awards for outstanding film achievements of 2010 will be presented live on Sunday, Feb. 27, 2011, at the Kodak Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center® and televised live by the ABC Television Network. The Oscar presentation also will be televised live in more than 200 countries worldwide. 31 days, oscar, tcm

Miracle on 34th Street is a great Christmas classic. Considered one of the best films of 1947, it won Academy Awards for Best Actor in a Supporting Role, Best Writing, Original Story and Best Writing, Screenplay as well as being nominated for Best Picture. It truly is a great movie, one of those that always gives you that warm, fuzzy feeling every time you watch it, no matter how many times you've seen it before. My favorite seen is when they find the house and see Kris' cane by the fireplace.

Win It!
In honor of the Oscars TCM has offered 2 lucky Hot Mom Tips readers their own DVD copy of Miracle on 34th Street.

Great Giveaway: KidSwitch Light Switch Extention Ends 2/28 2 Winners!

KidSwitch is an award-winning glow-in-the-dark light switch extender. KidSwitch is available for both toggle and decora switches. For toggle type switches you do need a screwdriver to install. No tools are needed for decora switches, simply peel and stick the adapter and snap on the KidSwitch. Once installed KidSwitch extends your light switch by 12" allowing your child to safely turn the switch on and off.

I have been looking for something like this for nearly 10 yrs. My aunt had something similar in the kids' bathroom that she had gotten at an arts and crafts fair. Starting at only $8.95 the KidSwitch really is a great deal. My kids love that it glows in the dark and of course that they can turn the bathroom light on without my help. It's no wonder they've won so many awards and featured in magazines. I think these are just great!

Buy It!
You can purchase KidSwitch directly from their website. Starting at only $8.95 for one, the more you buy the deeper the discount you receive.

Win It!
