Purex Fabric Softener Dryer Sheets

The other day a big rectangle box arrived on my door.  My son brought the box to me and I could smell the sweet smell of ...  what I though was flowers. I ripped open the box and to my surprise it was a box of Purex Fabric Softener Dryer Sheets (I received through the Purex insiders program) . 

 I was a little surprised to say the least, and really excited to try them.  In a moment my whole house was full of the aroma of a mountain breeze.  I closed my eyes and imagined sitting on the shores of Lake Tahoe on a cold brisk morning eating brunch with my husband and his parents and my parents.  I smirked as I though of all the memories I had when we lived there (we have since moved to Texas).  It is funny how a scent can take you away to a different place in time.

If you are like me and would like to take a deep breath and experience  the freshness of a a mountain breeze, Try New Purex Fabric Softener Dryer Sheets,  in Mountain Breeze.  

Now Purex Fabric Softener Dryer Sheets have a new improved formula with 3X the fragrance!  You can choose from Mountain Breeze or Sweet Lavender.  Purex Fabric Softener Dryer Sheets do more than just leave your family's laundry soft and smelling fresh. They also:

• Added freshness and softness through out your household.

• Repel pet hair and lint.

 They can also keep your whole house smelling fresh! Just choose your favorite fragrance and tuck a sheet in hampers, in the linen closets, and in your car.

The New Hot Spot in Austin: Cafe Mueller

We joined Austinites as they celebrated the opening of the new H-E-B at Mueller.  What makes this grocery store special is H-E-B at Mueller is the greenest H-E-B store built to date.  In addition H-E-B at Mueller's, Cafe Mueller is the first restaurant in a H-E-B store built to date as of now.  Cafe Mueller is located inside the H-E-B Mueller however you can access the cafe without going into the store via the patio. It is open daily from 10am to 10pm.  You can place your order either inside HEB at the Cafe Mueller counter or outside on the patio at the bar. 

Cafe Mueller offers many different styles of food from wood-smoked brisket and ribs to Asian style rice bowls.  They also offer pizzas, sandwiches, pasta, soup and salads.  They even have a selection of desserts from their in store scratch bakery.  I was also told they have a new line of Gluten-free pizzas crust and bread options.  What most people are really excited about is their selection of international and Texas wines by the glass or the bottle and draft beers. Cafe Mueller is a quick style eatery that offers both indoors and outdoor seating.  







On the patio outside is a bar that offers beer and wine, on the weekend you can hear live music.  The full-service menu has many affordable prices. 



You order is delivered to you at your table by a friendly H-E-B partner.  Our meal was delivered to us in 5 minutes.

  

 My Little Man really enjoyed his kids meal.  He chose the spaghetti with meatball (price $3) with a side of grapes ( he had a choice between grapes, yogurt and chips).  As a mom, I was excited to have healthy side choices for my Little Man.   As you can see the kids meals have a very generous helping (great for another meal). (drink not included in price).

My Oldest tried the 8' BBQ Chicken and Smoked Gouda pizza (it also come in a 12").  The pizza is topped with smoked chicken, smoked gouda, red onion, parsley and H-E-B Kansas City BBQ sauce(cost $7). He liked it so much he ate the whole thing.     

 I decided to try the Tamarind Lime Mixed Vegetables Asian Bowl (I added chicken to it).  It was full of Shitake mushrooms, red peppers, edamame, onion, carrots and kale,in a delicious tamarind lime sauce.  It was way to much for lunch but, I did not let it go to waste. I took the rest home (cost $7.5). We also tried the BBQ ribs. They had a good kick to them and the meat fell off the bone. 
















Click Here to see their menu. 

Next time you are in the Mueller area of Austin, Texas near 51st street and Brekman., head over to H-E-B and stop by the Cafe Mueller.  Try some of their delicious meals with a glass of your favorite beverage. Then grab a cart and do some grocery shopping.  It  is always best to go shopping on a full stomach!  First pull out your sell phone and take a self guided tour of the store using QR codes throughout the store.  Then you can check out their Healthy Living section which includes bulk food, spices and tea. Choose from fresh-ground nut butters, local honeys, and natural and organic beauty products.  Why not head over to the Wine Department stocked with imported and hard to find varieties where you can ask expert wine steward who can make recommendations and even make special orders. The H-E-B Mueller has so much to do and see because it is so much more then a grocery store!

4 Reasons to add Borax to your laundry detergent and Giveaway

Is your laundry clean and white? I mean really clean and bright white?  You may be surprise to know if you have hard water, then your clothes may not be as clean and white as they should be. 

What is hard water?

Hard Water" is defined as water that contains calcium and magnesium (ions).  85% of homes have hard water.  How does hard water affect laundry?  When you add detergent to hard water some of the compounds attach to calcium and magnesium granules that settle on the bottom of your washing machine and eventually retreating down the drain without actually cleaning your clothes.  What a waste of detergent.  

 What is Borax?

20 Mule Team  is a 100% natural accruing mineral from the earth.  Borax is the common name for sodium Tetraborate; a naturally occurring substance produced by the perpetual evaporation of seasonal lakes. 


4 Reasons to add Borax to your Laundry detergent:


1. 20 Mule Team® Borax will naturally soften hard water and improves your detergent's cleaning power.  Just add 1/2 cup   20 Mule Team borax to your regular (Purex) laundry detergent.

2. 20 Mule Team® Borax helps keep stains from being re-deposited back onto clothes.  

3. 20 Mule Team® Borax helps eliminate daily odor from your clothes.

4. 20 Mule Team® Borax has absolutely nothing added.  No Phosphates, chlorine or other additives chemicals. 

Did you know 20 Mule Team Borax is also formulated to work in both traditional and High Efficiency (HE) washers.

Check out their website to learn more uses for 20 Mule Team Borax.   

 I highly recommend making the switch to adding 20 Mule Team Borax to your laundry detergent.  I know my family and I are glad we made the switch.
