Laundry is like Lindsay Lohan mug shots…always there and totally inevitable. I actually don’t mind doing the laundry, but I’m not very good at it. And who knew being a laundress was even something you could be good or bad at?! There are just so many steps and options…sorting, stain-treating, color boosting, bleaching…it goes on. I just throw it all in, and hope for the best.
Which really isn’t a good plan since I have a son who plays sports, a daughter with an affinity for using her shirt as a napkin, and a husband who commutes with a trough of coffee. And like me, my family dresses in bright colors that we’d like to keep vibrant.
Lucky for me, and other lazy laundry-doers, Tide has invented a new 3-in-1 detergent that cleans, brightens and fights stains…all with one easy pac! With Tide Pods, there is no more pouring, no more lugging heavy bottles, and no more messy spills. Just toss one in—it’s that easy!
Now I don’t have to inspect every item in my kids’ hampers before washing, nor worry about my fuchsia skirt ending up pale pink. The Tide Pods whiten the whites, and brighten the brights…helping my outfits to pop.
Here are some frequently asked questions that might help some of you more serious about laundry than me…
Q: How do Tide Pods work?
A: Tide Pods clean, fight stains, and brighten all in one. The unique, multi-chamber design allows ingredients to remain separate, stable, and potent—mixing only when they hit the wash for outstanding cleaning and stain removal.
Q: How do I use Tide Pods?
A: Place a pac in the washing machine drum before you add clothes (never add Tide Pods to the dosing drawer). For especially dirty loads, you can add a second pac.
Q: Do Tide Pods work in front- and top-loading machines?
A: Yes, Tide Pods work well in standard and high efficiency machines. The formula is designed to prevent over-sudsing while also giving a great clean.
Q: Will Tide Pods dissolve in cold water?
A: Yes, the film is designed to dissolve in all water temperatures, hot or cold.
Q: Do Tide Pods work well on whites and colors?
A: Yes. Tide Pods have been thoroughly tested on all sorts of laundry conditions, and are safe for both whites and colors.
Q: Should I worry about staining or residues?
A: No. Tide Pods are designed to dissolve completely in all water temperatures, and will not stain your clothes when used as directed.

JUST found your blog – love it! Definitely wear my bright red jeans with a hot pink top!
Love the Tide pods! I like to keep the clothes simple, usually black or gray. These colors can fade quickly, which is why I love the Pods. NO FADING! Usually bring in the bling to accessorize! Nothing beats a big statement necklace!
I love me some leopard and coral to stand out in!!
I love to wear tall boots – they make me feel pulled together!
People always tell me I look good when I wear yellow, so I would say when I wear a yellow sweater with blue pants. I love to wear a soft scarf along with this outfit too.

I like to stand out by wearing pink or purple t-shirts or sweaters because they are brighter than my usual wardrobe, and I usually just pair them with dark jeans.

Thanks for the giveaway! I like animal prints and boots and all scarves.
My white and navy polka dot button down blouse tucked into a high waisted kelly green skirt!
Fun giveaway! Love Tide Pods! My favorite ensemble is a mix of neutrals with pops of color and pizzas and texture (I.e.scarves, statement piece of Jewelery, cute shoes). 🙂
Er….pizzaz. not pizzas. 🙂
I am a simple casual kind of gal. I love to wear a bright yellow loose weave sweater with a printed scarf, jeans and black boots.
My fave outfit to stand out in is any outfit I wear with confidence, positive attitude and a smile!

My favorite outfit to wear is this cute floral tank under my favorite yellow, long sweater with three-quarter length sleeves. I usually wear it with some dark skinny jeans and flats but sometimes my caramel colored boots if I don't have to walk anywhere very far. haha! Thanks for hosting this giveaway. I have never used Tide but if I win the gift card I would definitely purchase some. 🙂
This is really hard for me because while I'm really really drawn to bright pretty colors I can never seem to feel comfortable in them. So, my favorite stand out would be black skinny pants and bright pink high heels with a fur coat and diamonds. Does that count? Otherwise, my pink jeans and a white top!
Uhm…just one thing? I love my dayglow coral high/low shirt with some straight leg, barely cuffed, jeans and a leopard heel!
I love just jeans and a simple white tee jazzed up with a fun scarf and cute shoes!
My most vibrant and favorite outfit right now is royal blue jeans! They are so comfy anf cute!

I don't think I have a stand-out outfit! But I need one!
I love wearing skinny jeans and black or gray cardigans with a bright top underneath for a pop of color in the fall and winter. I love the Tide Pods. They keep my blacks from fading out and my bright tops bright.

I have a green dress, leggins, knee high boots and a wide belt that i love to wear.

Love Tide Pods and your blog! I love leggings, a flowy top and boots for the fall. And don't forget the bright scarf to make it pop!
My favorite outfit to stand out in is my form fitting grey dress with r a mom I don't always get to wear the clothes I want for fear of sp marks, food stains etc…not to mention getting up and down off th day and cleaning. So it is nice to have something you feel confident good in for the weekend with the hubby!

I'm sure I have plenty of outfits I stand out in…like the people of Walmart! I'd probably choose a coral sweater paired with navy jewelry, and dark denim jeans.
If I had my way, my favorite outfit would be comfy sweats and flip flops, but to be seen in the world, I love a good pair of long jeans, cowboy boots and a top with some bling! I love your blog.
