Sunday
You know what I do on Sundays.
I have coffee in my bed with the laptop or, sometimes, the newspaper, and my boyfriend.
I stay until someone needs something or I start to feel too lazy.
I eat some cereal (if I'm lucky, as I was today) with some boys and then I throw a load of laundry in the washing machine.
One day last week, or the week before, I got a pitch email about a baby bottle that looks like a breast (which I think is BRILLIANT). It was one of three dozen pitches I got last week and I was a little peeved as most of them were for mommy bloggers. I wrote a note to the PR lady who sent it and asked her to unsubscribe me - which really is a little rude as it turned out that she is not a machine and she's working from a list and she can't just unsubscribe me. She wrote back, immediately, and asked what I write about (not easy to pinpoint) and I said something witty like: laundry and life.
Less than 24 hours later I had four full-sized bottles of amazing laundry products. Products I'd never think to try but had seen in stores and was intrigued by.
And that's how I've been using Vaska Herbatergent this weekend.
What can I tell you about Vaska Herbatergent? A few things.
1. It made Youngest's laundry stop smelling.
I'm not kidding you and I don't know if you have a 17 year-old boy, but 17 seems to be prime time
for, uh, laundry odor. This stuff killed it dead. You'll have to take my word for how impressive that
is.
2. It made nice suds. I know perfectly well that suds aren't supposed to mean anything and, in fact, that
bubbles are visual proof of poison or something, but suds make a difference to me. I like to see
them. They trick me into thinking things are getting clean. In this case it was no trick.
3. The clothes felt nice coming out of the washing machine.
4. A big bottle of Herbatergent is the same price as the same size bottle of Tide.
5. Tide got my things clean but I couldn't help but think there's some really noxious stuff in Tide.
6. They have a lavender scented product too. I think we all know what I'm buying when I finish this
bottle.
Vaska products are available at Duane Reade. There are 250 Duane Reades in New York City.
Do you know what else my new favorite PR person represents? Roux Maison laundry products.
We'll talk next week.

I just finished my detergent today and wanted to try a different brand of environmentally friendly suds.
Gracias.

Laundry PRs, I can take them or leave them.
And thank you for the FYI on 17 y/o boys. I'm not there yet, but one day....one day.
I HATE lavender
I guess Americans LOVE lavender though ...
Long gone are the says when I stayed in bed with my boyfriend ... LE SIGH!
Ask your PR rep if they sell the stuff in Australia.
I would happily receive cleaning products, jewellery, white goods, electrical goods, bedding and good quality manchester. In case, you know, any Australian PRs are reading this.
