Mainstays Plug In Air Freshener Review and Giveaway!
I LOVE candles, scented oils, melting tarts, and all plug in type air fresheners. I can never have enough yummy smelling scents around the house but because my sinuses are sensitive, I cannot have floral scents or strong perfumey scents, and often find myself sticking to the sweet foods or earthy autumn scents. (Think: apples and cinnamon, pumpkin spice, etc).
So the other day, overwhelmed by two children in diapers, I declared my independence and left my husband to fend for himself and all three children and headed to Wal-mart. I seriously used to live in Target and Wal-mart before NewBaby came around... but now, it's too difficult with a clingy toddler and a needy newborn. I'm a label reader, and well, reading labels is rather difficult when between every other word there's a "MOMMYYYYYY!!!" or a squeak from underneath the mountains of blankets. I digress...
Anyway, as I'm walking through the aisles, I notice that they finished the new Mainstays candle aisle, so I turn my cart and narrowly avoid a head on collision with a frazzled mom juggling twin toddlers and two pink candles. I smile as she apologizes- why do we always feel the need to apologize for our crazy children? It's not like her kids were frazzling me.. So I get into the aisle, situate myself near the beginning, as the echoes of a babbling brook (playing out of one of those buttoned machines) turns the aisle into my own personal getaway. I begin sniffing all of the candles, and stumble upon cranberry mandarin. Holy Yum, Batman!! What could be better?Oh yeah, it's available in a plug-in style air freshener- You wanna know what's even better than that?? It was only $4.74!! You have no idea, I wanted to screetch with happiness! There's only two scents in the regular plug ins that I can tolerate, and the fancy Febreze versions are too expensive, unless you have double coupons and a money maker deal at Walgreens. This plug-in scent holder part is glass, and the picture really does it no justice- it looks more "upscale" than it's price. Once the fragrance is used up, the glass refills are readily available and interchangable.
I am so in love with this product, (and the scent!), that I wanted to share my happiness with you all, so I am offering one lucky reader a $10 Wal-mart gift card, so you can go and check out their new line of home fragrance scents and purchase your favorite plug-in! My only rule for this one, is whoever wins this one, you need to drop me a line and let me know which one you picked out, and how much you love it!
