Save Time with Woolzies Dryer Balls

Oh Dryer Balls, where have you been all my life?!? If you're like me, you're asking yourself, "Self, what are dryer balls and why do I need them?" Let me tell you folks, these things work wonders. I recently had the chance to give them a try when Woolzies graciously sent me a box to test out!

With the mission of "we intend to pass down this earth to our children in the same beautiful condition that we received it from our parents", you know you're off to a good start!

Woolzies Dryer Balls deliver the same benefits of conventional fabric softeners without those pesky chemicals! Made from 100% pure New Zealand Wool, these dryer balls will reduce your drying time, saving you not only your precious time but also your hard earned money! They'll help in reducing static and wrinkles as well. Good for 1,000 loads, these puppies will get you by for awhile, so less waste is created when you're not throwing away a dryer sheet after EVERY load! On top of that, they are safe for people with wool allergies as they don't shed onto your clothes.

I will admit that there is not much better than crawling into a bed when newly washed and dried sheets have been put on! That clean and lovely smell created by the dryer sheets you put in the dryer is heaven. However, that "clean" smell comes at a cost....a big cost! Liquid fabric softeners and dryer sheets are a hot bed of nasty chemicals that can easily be avoided. Think you'll miss the good smell from your fabric softener? Add a few drops of essential oils into your dryer balls to add a safe smell to your laundry!

A simple change in your laundry routine will save you money, help Mother Earth, and protect your health - why wouldn't you make the switch?!

Go show Woolzies some love over on their Facebook and Twitter, then head to their website and get some Dryer Balls of your own!

Do you use cloth diapers?

We are a family of cloth diaper lovers. It was not love at first use, that is for sure. Honestly, they are a pain but the payoff is worth it. They take a lot of washing and assembling and I feel like you deal with a little more when it comes to leaks but maybe that is user error! Anyways just one month after having our rather expensive cloth diapers they STUNK after washing them. We tried everything and even ruined a few with bleach! After extensive internet searching we found out about Rockin' Green Laundry Detergent. Rockin' Green is not just for cloth diapers it is a great detergent for anyone wanting to use eco-friendly products that do an awesome job cleaning up your laundry. Rockin' Green has three types designed specifically for the type of water you have-- Hard Rock, Soft Rock and Classic Rock. Since we do not have either really hard or soft water we opted for the Classic Rock and with an array of natural (and fun) scents it was hard to choose but we settled on "Motley Crue".

 I bet you wish you had a chance to try out Rockin' Green for yourself! Well actually you do, the folks at Rockin' Green are offering up a 45/90 load bag in your choice of formula and scent. To win this please send me an email and tell me what your stinkiest laundry is and which formula/scent of Rockin' Green you would like to try. You have until Wednesday September 21st at midnight to get your entry in. Good luck!
