This is a compensated review from BlogHer and Febreze NOTICEables
Snakes and snails
and puppy dog tails
that’s what little boys are made of.
Boogers and snot
old socks full of rot
that’s what little boys are made of.
Stink and sweat
too bad to forget.
Belches and farts
and jokes about ‘parts’.
‘Nuff toe jam and dirt
to cause an alert.
Grime and grit,
a whole lot of spit.
That’s what little boys are made of.
And I have three of them.
Now granted, mine are 5, 7, and 10, and although on occasion they get a bit ripe, they’re not yet at the phase of needing deodorant, cologne, or dose of napalm in their rooms. However, due to their ages, their height, and their aim, their bathroom is . . . shall we say . . . not always the most fragrant room in the house.
Seriously, that room could be spotless and sweet smelling at 3p when I’ve cleaned it, but after they’ve used it, bathed, and brushed teeth, by 8p it’s full of spilled bathwater, smeared toothpaste, and other unfortunate happenings as such that befall the area around the toilet.
Maybe I should have the boys go back to sitting down to ‘go’, if you get my drift.
All this to say, when I was asked to review these Febreze NOTICEable plug in air fresheners, I jumped at the chance. I knew precisely where I’d put mine. As luck had it, I was given three with a variety of different scents to try, so I’ve actually been altering the flavors in the unit as well as moving them around the house as needed.
There are so many choices. And the draw about these is, two flavors are plugged into each unit.
See how it’s two bottles in one? They don’t mix – they aren’t going off at the same time. Here’s how it works.
You put your choice of Febreze NOTICEable into the unit.
Like so.
You set it on low or high. I actually set mine on low because I was worried about the scent overpowering such a small room. I have a teeny house. :)
Next, you plug it in.
And then over the course of the day, the unit will alternate the stimulation of either scent, with the idea that you don’t ‘get used to’ one scent or another. As it’s constantly switching, you constantly NOTICE the yummy smell. Get it?
This flavor is what I have going on in my boys’ bathroom right now. And I have to tell you, I am the biggest NON-fan of pumpkin that you’ll ever meet. But the two of these flavors off-setting each other . . . the berries and the pumpkin . . . very yummy smelling. (And don’t you love how each box has both flavors available for scratching and sniffing so you can get an idea of how they smell together? I know I do!)
During the day, you’ll notice the light change from one side of the plug-in to the other, and that just tells you that it’s alternating between the two scents. Kind of ingenious if you ask me. And my boys’ bathroom smells like the wild outdoors. Well, at least it doesn’t smell like someone’s gone wild indoors. :)
