Summer Soiree: Tide, Downy and Bounce

Bread and butter, strawberries and champagne,  churros and hot chocolate, some things are just better together like Tide®, Downy® and Bounce®. So I was thrilled to have this opportunity to work with P&G and Daily Buzz Moms to use these products that I trust. 

Tide® has always been a part of our household since I can remember. My mom used it and now I use it. Tide® makes the colors brighter and the whites whiter, and our clothes last longer. I have sensitive skin and some products causes me to break out into hives but Tide® does not bother me at all.

Remember that favorite worn out jeans you have? You do not want to give it up because of how soft and comfortable it is? That feeling is now achievable with Downy®. It makes even your new pair of jeans feel like your worn out favorite. oh, and that wonderful fresh scent is just an added bonus.

With the heat intensifying as the summer months come, flowy shirts are my go-to staple. The only problem is static. Static ruins the flow and shape of a shirt no matter how cute it is.  So, I use Bounce® on my flowy shirts and it works wonders. No more static! I reuse the Bounce® sheets to remove dust on our furniture and as a purse stuffer to keep it smelling fresh at all times. Brilliant don't you think?

 my favorite summer staples: 

soft, flowy colorful tops (Ann Taylor )

white jeans (Anthropologie)

tan sandals (Vince Camuto)

statement accessories (Kate Spade, Dillards)

With Tide®, Downy® and Bounce®, you can keep your summer looks looking new up to 50% longer (vs. leading value detergent alone).

It's the Nth Anniversary of my 29th birthday!

August is a very special month for us.We are celebrating 4 birthdays in our family. My husband, my two step sons and myself have our birthdays about 5 days apart.

My eldest step son, who lives on his own now, celebrated his 19th birthday. He is maturing into a fine young man.

My husband celebrated his big 4-0.They say 40 is the new 30. He does not look his age though, don't you think?

We had a modest party at a Greek Restaurant that has belly dancers and Greek line dancing (I don't know what it is called - but it is similar to what you see in the movies where they all hold hands and go around the room dancing) and napkins thrown into the air. So much fun!

A birthday would not be complete without presents. Hubby likes watches, last Christmas I gave him a Raymond Weil watch. For his 40th birthday I got him a classic Tag Heuer watch. So happy that he loves it!

 

Then there was mine, another year added to what I would like to think as my wisdom.When asked how old I was, I replied without batting my eyelashes, "I am celebrating the Nth anniversary of my 29th birthday!".  Now, doesn't that sound so much better? ha! To celebrate, I enjoyed a simple and intimate dinner with my husband, mom and dad at Maggiano's. I love their calamari, their pasta, Tiramisu of course, and their service is always good. The chef gave us lemon cookies and fresh pasta to-go. 


Here's a little bit of trivia - Filipino birthdays are celebrated with noodles being served to signify long life. It is also traditional that whoever celebrates their birthday is the one who takes everyone out to eat (and pays) as a sign of gratitude for the year that passed. Now, I prefer the American tradition where everyone else treats the birthday celebrant =))

Now, don't you think I have a keeper? *wink*wink*

My youngest step son's 10th birthday is this weekend and we are throwing him a skate board/swimming party. I have tons of projects for his birthday that I can't wait to share with everyone.

I hope you are all having a great week!
