Greetings from Florida!

Webmiss, Bert©, & Mr. Nascar are on VACATION!!

We’re down here in sunny Jacksonville, FL where Mr. Nascar’s brother lives. We left from Tennessee early yesterday morning and arrived down here safe and sound before dark. We stopped by his brother’s apartment to visit for a bit, ran to Wal*Mart for some beach supplies and then headed down to the sand. It was awesome! Everyone kept saying how hot it was, but honestly I didn’t notice. The humidity here is negligible, whereas in Tennessee it’s unbearable. Often it’s 98% humidity before 8am up there. Yesterdays weather was pretty much ideal.

Bert© and Mr. Nascar immediately headed out into the surf for some boogie boarding lessons. The wind was blowing and the sun was setting. It was perfect. The smell of the salt water, the squish of the sand under foot, it was almost heaven. I never realized how much I missed living near the ocean until I moved to Tennessee.

 

We’re having a great time. It’s been very cool to meet Mr. Nascar’s brother and his girlfriend. We’re going to head off to church later this morning in St. Augustine at the Cathedral Basilica. While the original parish was built in 1565, it was burned to the ground at least twice. The Cathedral as it stands today was built in 1797 and over the years has been remodeled and added on to. I am told that it’s a sigh to behold and I honestly cannot wait to go and celebrate mass there. Afterward we will be going to brunch with Mr. Nascar’s brother and his girlfriend. We will bring Mr. Nascar’s brother back to the apartment as he has rehearsal with his band today and then we will be hitting the beach again. I can’t wait to walk down the strip and go into all the different shops. I truly am enjoying myself and can’t wait to explore. More pictures to come, especially of our trip down to Orlando later this week where we will be amusing ourselves at Sea World, Orlando!

It’s a bird, it’s a plane…no, it’s a Whirlpool® Fabric Freshener

Hello, my name is Webmiss and I work for Whirlpool Corporation. Phew, there I said it. I think I’ve been blogging now for roughly 2 years and I have been so scared to reveal any details about myself on the web but now, now you all know the truth.

Today Ladies and Gentlemen, I’m going to tell you about this awesome appliance Whirlpool® makes called the Fabric Freshener.

The Whirlpool Fabric Freshener

I don’t own one of these yet, but they have one at work that we’ve all been able to get a hands on feel for and; the verdict is: I.Love.It!

I’m sure there are plenty of people in this world that do laundry just like I do. I wash my clothes, throw them in the dryer and then just forget about them. When Monday rolls around and I’m looking for something to wear to work all my shirts and pants are wrinkled. I groan and roll my eyes because I now have a choice; either I break out the iron and go to town tackling wrinkles or I throw the clothing items back in the dryer for about 10 minutes. Either way this is a now win situation for me. I either spend the rest of the morning ironing and lose valuable time getting ready and potentially arrive late for work, or I throw them in the dryer and then my clothes are so warm when I put them on that I start to sweat and give my Degree antiperspirant a chance to live up to it’s name. TMI, I know, but I’m trying to make a point here people; I’m LAZY. That’s where the wonder that is the Whirlpool® Fabric Freshener comes in. If I had one of these puppies I could put my clothes inside, press a button and voila!

Just imagine, while I have been in the shower, brushing my teeth, and washing my face, my clothes have been having a relaxing and rejuvenating experience inside the Fabric Freshener. When the 30 minutes are up, I just remove them from the appliance and they are looking AND smelling great, just like moi! I’m happy, my clothes are happy and hi ho hi ho it’s off to work I go.

This doesn’t have to be just a dream. Great smelling, wrinkle free clothes could be a reality thanks to Whirlpool®.

I spent a little time on our website www.Whirlpool.comresearching the benefits of a Fabric Freshener so I could make an informed blog post. I didn’t realize that the Fabric Freshener had been selected in 2006 by the Good Housekeeping Institute for a “Good Buy” award. 

“The Fabric Freshener’s combination of heat and steam helps relax wrinkles from common fabrics like wool, silk, polyester, rayon and cotton, and tackles odors from smoke, food, pets and perfume. Because the Fabric Freshener uses no chemicals or detergents — just water –clothing will look new longer.

The Fabric Freshener delivers convenience even down to its design. Compact and portable, it’s an ideal fit for nearly every living situation. When fully upright, the Fabric Freshener stands approximately 58-in. high, 33-in. wide and 12-in. deep. When not in use, the unit can be collapsed to the size of a small vacuum (approximately 10-in. high, 33-in. wide and 12-in. deep) for easy storage and portability.”

Some interesting facts about the Fabric Freshener:

• It’s Eco-Friendly: Employing a patented steam technology system using only water* instead of harmful chemicals
• It’s Cost Effective: The machine uses only a small amount of water*and electricity. Keep your clothes looking newer longer by using the Fabric Freshener instead of washing before wearing.
• It’s irreplaceable: It removes odors, relaxes wrinkles and will dry your delicate fabrics; no more trips to the dry cleaners.
