So one of the things I have been determined to do is insert more of “me” in to this site. Writing about deals can get very boring and there are products that I use that may not be on sale, but that I couldn’t live without. I thought I would start of series on these items.
Anyway – so I thought I would kick this off with a product that I discovered while I was at BlogHer: Tide Swash Smooth It Out.
What is Tide Tide Swash Smooth It Out? Simply put, it is a spray wrinkle releaser that actually WORKS.
Tide Swash Smooth It Out was included in one of the swag bags at the Getting Gorgeous event Friday morning and by Friday night, I had reason to put it to good use.
You see, anyone who knows me knows that I wear mostly black. Well, I had made a big deal to my bloggy friends that I had bought a pink dress to wear to BlogHer. But then I got halfway to BlogHer and realized that I left that pink dress hanging on the closet door. Therefore, I did what any reasonable person would do. I called Brad and insisted he overnight it to the hotel. After much coaxing, he agreed…and overnighted it in a flat-rate box roughly the size of my laptop.
When I pulled the dress out of the box, I almost wanted to cry. While I CAN iron, I do NOT iron. Then I remembered the demo of the Tide Swash Smooth It Out that I saw at the Getting Gorgeous event and checked my swag bag and there was a bottle in there. I decided to give it a try! Within 5 minutes of spraying it, there wasn’t a wrinkle on my dress! (of course, the fact that once I put it on and took a picture next to this skinny chick, I exclaimed “I LOOK LIKE A PINK WATER BUFFALO!” and ran in to change doesn’t matter. I didn’t wear it, but it WAS unwrinkled)
So far, I have only tried it on a t-shirt material dress (4 of them) and a linen blouse….but it is one of my new favorite products! The best part is that you can throw it in your purse and give yourself a spritz after a long car trip.
Tide Swash Smooth It Out is not available in stores right now, but it is available on the Proctor & Gamble site…and you can get a 2-pack cheaper on Amazon.com for $11.99 (and it qualifies for FREE Super Saver Shipping). Better yet, choose the Subscribe & Save option and pay only $10.19 for a 2-pack.
Tide Swash Smooth It Out: Mindi Loves It!
P.S.: for those that know my husband, please don’t tell him that I never wore the dress that night…he thinks I forgot my camera and my cell phone battery died, so I couldn’t take any pictures of me in the dress
(Full disclosure: as a blogger, I get many things for free and when I receive something for free, it is usually in conjunction with a giveaway. The items in my “Mindi Loves It” posts will NOT include this items. They will be items that I use that I would buy even if I couldn’t find a good deal or a coupon. They may include items which I previously received for free, but continue to buy/use. Of course, I do love Coach bags and if the people at Coach want to send me a few……)
DANG. I think I forgot to get mine out of my swag bag. Hope some maid from the Hilton is enjoying it.
I am also one of “those people” that just refuses to iron. I had found downy wrinkle releaser about a year ago and cant live without! I does the same thing and is found in just about any store. Even though it may not be perfect like ironing but is a great opt-out option!
Seriously, now my son won’t look like he actually slept in his clothes!!!
