bobble has an activated carbon filter which has a slight electro-positive charge, making it attractive to certain chemicals. as water passes over the positively charged carbon surface, the negative ions of these chemicals are drawn to the surface of the carbon granules.


carbon filters require very little maintenance and are perhaps the most powerful chemical absorbents known to man. bobble’s carbon-based filter meets NSF International Standard 42 for chlorine, taste and odor reduction. for best results we recommend changing your filter after 2 months or when it’s filtered 40 gallons/150 liters. filter for use with Classic bobble or bobble Sport only. rinse filter with warm water.

I love my bobble bottles! They are durable and are perfect for me. The insulated one keeps my coffee hot and my water cold for hours! and of course I finally found one that works and that its in my favorite color. The classic one makes my water taste crisp and fresh everytime! Replacing the filters are simple and easy and you can purchase a pack of two filters for only 9.99. I know with baseball season coming up I need something to take along to my sons practices and games and I am glad I can rely on my bobbles!

Tide Pods Review


Tide PODS® is a 3-in-1 laundry solution, that consist of a detergent, stain remover and brightener all at once. Simply pop in one pac for most loads, but use two pacs for large loads and three pacs for extra large loads. Tide PODS® quickly dissolves in any temperature, and can be used in front and top loading washing machines, both standard and high efficiency. For a simple yet effective laundry experience, Tide PODS® is the all-in-one solution you've been looking for.


  • With 6x more clean*. It’s got to be Tide.
  • 3-in-1 laundry pacs: detergent, stain remover, brightener.
  • Tide PODS® laundry pacs dissolve quickly in hot & cold.
  • Tide PODS® Original is specially formulated with HE Turbo technology that contains quick collapsing suds and targets tough stains.
*Based on stain removal performance of 1 pac of Tide PODS® vs. 6 doses of the leading liquid bargain brand base variant in a standard top loading machine.
Like any household detergent, keep away from children.
Tide PODS® provide the Tide clean you love in an easy-to-use form. Each pac contains cleaning agents, stain removers, and brighteners. And the innovative, multi-chamber design separates key ingredients until they hit the wash for maximum cleaning power.
Toss Tide PODS® Original pac into the washing machine drum before you add clothes. Turn on any cycle, without worry as Tide PODS® dissolve in any temperature. For especially dirty loads, you can add a second pac.





So I am sure you have seen a Tide Pods commercial on TV.


I see this one all the time, talking about how much cleaner and brighter you can get your clothes. I really wanted to see if would actually work..
 I was sent four samples to try out and see for myself. I do use several kinds of laundry detergent. But have never used Tide Pods til now. I really love that it is in pac form because honestly measuring it out gets messy and most of the time I either add too little or too much detergent. I have used two samples already and love how I have noticed a change in how cleaner my clothes are and they smell nice too!

About Pixie Vacations 
Owners: Steve and Lisa Griswold
Concierge Level of Service

We want to plan and book the best Disney Vacation you have ever had. We are not a call center; we are past Disney Cast Members and Disney Vacation Planners that know the ins and outs of Disney. We are your agent and we work for you. Our goal is to plan the best Disney vacation, especially for you, at the lowest possible price. You will get your own Pixie Vacations agent, and we work one-on-one with you to plan your trip. Our concierge level of service is free. We can help you plan special extra activities and also know about fun free things to do at Walt Disney World, Disneyland, and on Disney Cruise Lines. This is a great luxury to have. Again, we are not a call center that is pressured to get you on and off the phone as quickly as possible.
Lowest Possible Price

We offer the same prices as booking with Disney. However we do have a key advantage when it comes to getting you the best possible price. When you book with Pixie Vacations we will monitor your reservation. If a Disney promotion comes out that is a better fit for you, we will move your existing reservation to the better package price. If you book directly with Disney, they will not contact you to tell you there is now a better deal. We have two kids ourselves and know how important it is to get the best vacation for your dollar. Also when you call or book online with Disney directly you will not get any discount at all unless you know to ask for a specific rate. We know what specials to ask for to save you money.

Also check our exclusive Pixie Offers. These are Disney Vacation offers we have created just for you, our Pixie Guests'. These exclusive Disney World vacation packages combine tremendous savings on your Disney World Resort Room, Discounted Disney Park Tickets and Disney's Dining Plan with some amazing special extras.
A History of Disney Knowledge equals Disney savings

We are a US based Mom and Pop company run by a family that worked at Walt Disney World for many years in Parks and Resorts. We have been to the parks and resorts more times than we can count, during all seasons, day and night. We have been to the parks and resorts when we were kids, as college students, and as a family now with our kids. We have eaten at the Disney resort and park restaurants, we have been behind the scenes and we have possibly checked you in or given you park information from the Magic Kingdom information booth during one of your past trips. We have used Magical Express and the bus system and have been on Disney Cruise Line. We have planned conventions as a convention coordinator at the Grand Floridian when we were cast members and now as Authorized Disney Vacation Planners. We have even sewn names on Mickey Mouse hats (and even got an extra $0.10 an hour back in the day!).

New! All Powercore Pacs Review!

all® Powercore™ Pacs Plus Removes Tough Odors has a long-lasting scent. Smell that? That’s the smell of victory.

For the first time, liquid and powder come together in one laundry pac, which delivers an astonishing clean for every load. 


all® POWERCORE™ PACS are filled with liquid AND powder and sealed in a water-soluble film. For small to medium loads, simply place one pac in the drum of the machine before you put the clothes in, for both HE and top-loading machines. For large loads, place two POWERCORE™ PACS in the drum of the machine for both HE and top-loading machines. 

It is important that you put the pac in before you add your laundry. When the water flows in, all® POWERCORE™ PACS will dissolve completely—even in cold water—releasing the active cleaning ingredients throughout the wash. At the end of the wash cycle, the detergent rinses cleanly away, leaving clothes clean and fresh. Because the POWERCORE™ PACS are pre-measured to provide the right amount of detergent to clean your clothes, you can be confident that you are using the correct amount of detergent every time.

all® POWERCORE™
PACS OXI
all® POWERCORE™
PACS Plus Removes
Tough Odors

PACS Plus Restores

For more information click HERE


This was the first time using All Laundry Detergent  I was happy that it cleaned our clothes very well. It comes in 3 varieties and you can choose 18 ct or 50ct. I like the fact that there is no measuring involved and  that all I need to do is throw in 1 or 2 pacs and add in my laundry. I think I would like to try the OXI pacs next!
