What i love this week.

So I've been reading a lot of blogs and articles on fall trends that everyone loves and it gave me an idea to share what i love this week.

Fall weather has finally made its way to Texas! Wooooo!!!!!!!


You have to live in Texas to fully understand my excitement lol.
 There is just something about fall that gets me into a happy mood. I think it might be because i associate cooler weather with the holidays and also memories from when i was younger.

Here are a few things that I love this week.


I just checked out this book from my library yesterday. The first page Sophie automatically had me hooked. I also loved her shopaholic series.





I really love this perfume its so girly. It smells fresh and sweet.




   
So I found this small glass owl at a dollar store here by my house. I was looking for some things to glue on a fall wreath I am making. (I will make a post and show you when I am finished) I find it very funny that I'm so obsessed with these cute owls because I am terrified of the ones that are outside of my house at night. haha (Hey,don't judge me okay)

Ever since i heard this song on the VMA's I fell in love with it.. It's so catchy! 


And last what i love is a website i stumbled upon while looking for the Taylor Swift video it is called http://www.yourperfectbeauty.com  This is a really great site that promotes positive body image and is a 100% positive community where you can share you product reviews, advice and just help someone in need out. It seems like  really great idea and I'm really looking forward to their site launching.

Gain Sunflower and sunshine detergent & fabric softener review

Thanks to Mamas Latinas and Gain i received Gain detergent and fabric softener in the Sunflower and Sunshine scent. It came in a cute mini green basket that i will reuse for something later on.

Its so cute, right? :) i really loved the colors they used on the bottles and the scent is amazing!
If i had to describe the scent to you i would say when you first smell it in the bottle you smell sunflowers then i smell a sort of citrus/orange scent.

I really like how it did a great job at removing oil and dirt from my husbands clothes. He is a diesel mechanic so his clothes get pretty filthy and stink horribly but Gain did a great job and removing the stains and odor so i am pretty pleased!

 

It also did a great job on my other laundry as well.

 

One thing i noticed after doing laundry and leaving the house for a few hours is when i came home my house smelled like Sunflowers and Sunshine.

 

I have tried other scents from gain that i loved also. Make sure to try any of these Gain detergents and fabric softeners.. you will not be disappointed!

 

   

and of course you cant go wrong with the original scent either! 


I have to say Gain makes washing my laundry enjoyable.  What is your favorite Gain scent?
