I received a Reed Diffuser by Pink Zebra to review in the mail yesterday.... Honestly, here I am thinking, I'm a Yankee Candle kind of girl. Always have been. However, the moment I opened the shipping box I was hit with the most wonderful Tropical Mango fragrance! Right away I closed up my candle that had been burning all day and not providing much relief to an entire afternoon of cooking and the boy and man smells my little men and hubby tend to put off at random times....
Once I opened the lid to this handy Reed Diffuser the connecting rooms in my house whirled with my chosen scent of Tropical Mango..... Could it be possible? I am sitting at my desk at least 15 feet away and can still smell it's wonderful fragrance. With that, the closer you get to the Reeds the scent does not cause an overpowering smell like the stuff the hubby had picked up elsewhere that I made him get rid of last year because it was causing me headaches anytime I sat at the couch. No, Pink Zebra's fragrance has a calmer release to it that does not caused a migraine to set in.
Not only is the smell amazing, the way to re-soak the reeds is wonderfully innovative. Rather than removing the reeds and getting your hands messy and having the smell stick to your hands even after washing Pink Zebra's Reed Diffuser allows you to screw the lid on flip it around to re-soak the reeds and then remove the lid! Viola, no mess and the amazing smell continues to fill the house! Best of all is that it lasts for 3-5 months!!! Where before I was going through 1 candle every few days that DID NOT emit this great smell all throughout the rooms!!! The next scent I want to try is Pink Zebra's Sweet Pea & Lily and then the Red Delicious Apple! But that won't be for awhile with the lengthy amount of time the scents last with Pink Zebra's diffuser. Pink Zebra offers 16 different fragrances for the diffuser (Cedar Tangelo, Cucumber Flower, Fig &Cardamon, Floral Breeze, Garden Lilac, Green Fields, Green Tea & Lemongrass, Patchouli Sandalwood, PZ 1, Red Delicious Apple, Spiced Vanilla, Stone Washed Denim, Sweet Pea & Lily, Tarragon & Olive Leaf, Turquoise Waters, and Vanilla Creme) but it would take years to try them all, unless you have a really big house and place a few different scents throughout the home. ;)
$18 for 3-5 months of a wonderful scent as opposed to $25 for a large Yankee Candle that lasts me only a few days, maybe a week.... Heck as a penny pinching stay-at-home-mom, I know what I'll be using from now on!
And as a fun little treat, a few of the scents come with a "Bling" bracelet that you can either use to decorate the diffuser or wear it! SWEET! Click HERE to see all that Pink Zebra has to offer!
There is a special portion with Pink Zebra that hits close to home.... They have a HEROES program that provides FREE Day Care Opportunities to qualified Single Mothers!!!! Being a former single mother I know how much day care costs, how much of a stress that bill alone caused, it seemed like I was working most days just to be away from my son and then the other days I was working just to keep food in his mouth only and a roof over our heads. The fact that they give a day of day care for every $500 party is quite amazing!
Pink Zebra NEEDS MORE Single Mother applicants to apply for Free Day Care! Currently less than 10 women are taking advantage of this program. And they don't get 1 day, it's a 90 day program (3 months of free child care) and they can reapply too! It really is a great cause and they look forward to donating more days! :)

ReplyDeleteThat's a great thing $500 for daycare...I really like that a lot, but I'm not a single mom, but I will pass along the information. I am your newest follower from www.armytankerswife.com it has been a pleasure to stop by your blog and read about you!
ReplyDeleteThanks Crissy! I think it is a great that this company does so for all the single moms, every little bit helps! :) Following back!
DeleteThanks for the great review Jenni, I'm so glad you loved the diffuser as much as I do!
ReplyDeleteSince they do last forever (I've had the same one in my son's room for almost 4 months and it's still half full!), if you want to change to a different scent, just seal it up with the lid and switch! That's what I do! As long as the lid is on, you can store if for a long time and not lose any fragrance!
And if anyone is interested in the HEROES program, I can help them apply! HEROES was the deciding factor in my decision to join Pink Zebra; I wanted to work with a company who was dedicated in giving back and as a former single mom, I know how hard it can be!
I would choose spiced vanilla.
ReplyDeleteI love apple...or lilac....or vanilla, lol.
