Take a Scent-cation with Gain + Giveaway

If you're anything like me, your purse is feeling a little slim lately.   This makes it hard for me to take the many vacations that my heart so desires.  It's even a little tight to go within my own state.  So what can you do when you need time to "get away from it all"?  

Gain invites you to take a scent-cation and bring your favorite warm and inviting scents into your home for a different kind of Spring Break getaway.  A scent-cation may include anything from filling your home with ocean-scented candles, to putting out fresh flowers, or even using tropical scents in the laundry room.  


I recently took a scent-cation with the Gain scent Sunflower & Sunshine.  Being from the "Sunshine State," I found it rather fitting.  Check out what came in my kit:

Pretty cool kit...or should I say HOT!

My scent-cation was complete with Gain Sunflower & Sunshine detergent, a Gain scented candle, a laundry bag, beach towel, a pot to grow my own sunflower garden, and some really cool shades.  A complete way to make my "stay-cation" a Gain "scent-cation."

I've been a user of Gain detergent since college.  It smells great & it always fits in my budget.  I always get compliments about how our laundry smells...so fresh and clean.  Now my house can smell equally fresh with my new Gain scented candle.  Mmmmm.....

I love sunflowers!  I've already begun growing my own in the organic pot that came with my kit.  In one day, the seed coats have come off and a small little seedling is starting to grow.  Can't wait!  When they're big enough, I will plant them in my backyard to make it seem like spring all year long!

To help create the ultimate scent-cation in your home, you can win a custom scent-cation kit inspired by your choice of one of the following Gain detergent scents: Ocean Escape, Sunflower & Sunshine or Hawaiian Aloha.

Sound good?  It's way better on your wallet than a traveling vacation.  And who knows, maybe you'll actually be able to lock yourself in the bathroom or escape to your backyard oasis to enjoy your kit items!

Make Your Holiday Last With Forever Red

To me, the color red is such an amazing color.  It's the color of love, of heat, and of confidence.  Why not choose a fragrance that is also red?

Bath & Body Works, makers of America's #1 fragrance, body lotion, home fragrance, and anti-bacterial, recently launched their newest fragrance...Forever Red.  This newest fragrance is a blend of luxurious, rare, and carefully created notes in order to ensure that every aspect of this new scent is chic and confident.


Camille McDonald, President of Brand Developement and Merchandising, explained "When we thought about the modern sensuality this woman embodies, we came to define her as confident, intensely feminine, and always true to herself."  

And while you're at Bath & Body Works, check out their other well known goodies.  The holiday soaps and lotions are big sellers!!
 

  
And what about a little bling?  LOVE all things sparkly!

Find Your Perfect Scent & Win A Year Supply of Gain!

Laundry, we all have it.  I feel like I'm ALWAYS doing laundry.  It's my nemesis.  IT NEVER ENDS!!    But alas, I don't like to walk around with dirty clothes...not to mention I like to smell good.

Gain, the well-known laundry detergent, has launched an anything but ordinary, interactive YouTube experience that helps consumers celebrate what makes them unique and find their perfect scent match.

From the clothes we wear to our signature scent, we’re all unique. Did you know that 96% of U.S. Americans said that smelling good is an important part of feeling confident and 86% of U.S. Hispanic consumers feel it is important for their personal scent to match their personality.

To help consumers find their perfect scent match, Gain has launched an interactive YouTube video questionnaire in Spanish with Gain matchmaker, “Dr. Aroma” and in English with actress and comedian Wanda Sykes.  Gain created a one-of-a-kind, digital experience to help the consumer find their own unique scent match based on their personalities. “Dr. Aroma” & Wanda Sykes take people through a series of questions in order to help pinpoint their perfect scent match from Gain’s anything but ordinary line up of scents.  (You can toggle between the English and Spanish language version via a language selector button featured on the Gain YouTube Page.)  With scents like Hawaiian Aloha, Butterfly Kiss and Sunflower & Sunshine, people will be sure to find the one that is perfect for them.

Wanda Sykes matched me with Sweet Sizzle...I think those two words describe me well!  I'm sure the smell does too. 

Are you ready for the best part?

YOU can win a YEAR SUPPLY OF GAIN!  (That's 320 loads of laundry!)  Here's what you have to do:

Find your perfect scent match at www.youtube.com/Gain.
