I hate doing laundry and I am always open to a product that will save me money, make my life easier and protect the environment. Thanks to Orsani, I got the opportunity to try the Robby Wash Ball. Let me tell you a little bit about the product.
Oransi – http://www.oransi.com - has launched in the U.S. an ultra high efficiency hypoallergenic laundry detergent ball called "RobbyWash" (retail price $32.95 each) with the following money-saving benefits:
- 10 ounces of RobbyWash ball replaces 75 lbs. of traditional laundry detergent - environmentally friendly
- One RobbyWash ball lasts up to 12 months. The ball itself will last 3 years.
- One RobbyWash ball will save more than $100+ over 120 washes
- One RobbyWash ball is only $32.95 and lasts one year. This includes refills and free stain stick.
- It is eco-friendly, hypoallergenic and safe - commonly used in Europe with baby laundry (as well as adults' laundry).
- Third party tested, proven and guaranteed to clean better than traditional powder laundry detergent.
My Thoughts:
I have a HE washing machine and I was a little reluctant to try the product but I gave it a try. I was surprised how well it worked and it did not damage my machine. I did not use the ball in the standard HE setting but I used it in the bulk/bedding setting that filled the washer with more water. The ball is filled with pellets and I was skeptical that little pellets would work and clean the laundry but it did a great job on my dirty socks. The laundry smelled fresh and clean even without fabric softener. The kit contains enough pellets and a stain remover stick that should last a whole year. No more heavy and bulky detergent containers and the Robby Ball is safe for the environment. Would you like to try the Robby Ball? Enter my contest!!

I want to welcome James LePore to Books R us. James is the author of numerous suspense novels and is touring the blogosphere with his newest novel Gods and Fathers being released today. Thanks for stopping by.
Publisher: The Story Plant. Publication Date: February 7, 2012 Purchase:Amazon|Barnes & Noble.
About the Book:
Nationally
bestselling author James LePore has established a reputation as a
writer whose vividly drawn characters and morally complex plots have
kept readers up to all hours turning pages. His new novel promises more
sleepless nights and more nonstop thrills.
Matt DeMarco is an accomplished Manhattan attorney with more than his
share of emotional baggage. His marriage ended disastrously, his ex-wife
has pulled their son away from him, and her remarriage to a hugely
successful Arab businessman has created complications for Matt on
multiple levels. However, his life shifts from troubled to imperiled
when two cops – men he's known for a long time – come into his home and
arrest his son as the prime suspect in the murder of the boy's
girlfriend.
Suddenly, the enmity between Matt and his only child is no longer
relevant. Matt must do everything he can to clear his son, who he fully
believes is innocent. Doing so will require him to quit his job and make
enemies of former friends – and it will throw him up against forces he
barely knew existed and can only begin to comprehend how to battle.
GODS AND FATHERS is at once a powerful mystery and a provocative
international thriller, all of it presented with LePore's signature
fascinating characters placed in dire circumstances where every choice
poses new and potentially fatal challenges.
About the Author:
James
LePore is an attorney who has practiced law for more than two decades,
and an accomplished photographer. He is the author of three previous
novels, A WORLD I NEVER MADE, BLOOD OF MY BROTHER, and SONS AND PRINCES,
as well as the story collection, ANYONE CAN DIE. He lives in
Westchester County, NY with his wife, artist Karen Chandler. Please visit the author's site www.jamesleporefiction.com
Read an Excerpt:
“Why can’t you stay at your mother’s when they’re away?”
“I told you, Basil’s worried about security.”
Though this statement was challengeable on several levels, Matt let it pass. The marriage six years ago of Debra DeMarco, nee Rusillo, and Basil al-Hassan, a rich and handsome Syrian businessman, had marked the beginning of the end of Matt’s long and tortured fight for a place in his son’s heart. Armed with the ultimate weapon—-her new husband’s money—-Debra had made quick work of destroying the last vestiges of Matt’s hopes. A penthouse on Park Avenue, a beach house in Easthampton, a flat in Paris, a “cottage” in Bermuda, clothes and cars virtually on demand, Matt had no way of competing with all this, and no way of expressing his anger—-until tonight.
“What about Mina?” Matt asked.
“What about her?”
“Why aren’t you seeing her?”
“She’s studying.”
“Studying?”
“Yes, studying. You keep repeating what I say. She’s a student. Students study.”
This statement was delivered dismissively, not sarcastically. You’re stupid, Dad. I’m tired of you. Why am I bothering with you? are what Matt heard, and it occurred to him, with a clarity that shocked him after all these muddled and painful years of effort and rejection, effort and rejection, ad nauseum, that he could not hurt Michael, that his own son was indifferent to him, and this was a blow, and strangely a release.
“Well, your friends are assholes, and you are too, Michael. You’re an arrogant, shallow asshole. Where you came from, I don’t know. But not from me.”
“That could be. Maybe Mom had an affair–like you did--and I’m not your son. Do I care? No, I don’t. Can I go upstairs now? I’ll leave in the morning.”
In the kitchen, Matt poured himself another scotch. He took the pizza out of the refrigerator and sat down to eat it, surprised to find that he actually had an appetite. Until tonight, despite the bad cards he had drawn, he had never stopped trying to break through to his son. It’s over, he said to himself, over and done. He’s not your son. He’s Debra’s son, Basil’s son. You lost him a long time ago.
He finished the pizza and was wrapping the garbage to take out in the morning when the doorbell rang. Looking out the kitchen window he saw that it was snowing heavily. Those idiots, he thought, they’re probably stuck someplace. No choice but to let them in. But when he swung open the front door, it wasn’t Adnan and Ali, but his friends Jack McCann and Clarke Goode, homicide detectives who he had worked with for many years, standing facing him. He could see their unmarked car at the curb, and behind it, blocking his driveway, a Pound Ridge patrol car, its engine running and headlights on, two uniformed officers in the front seat. McCann, a florid Irishman whose blue eyes were usually lit by some inner secret joke, looked grim; and Goode, a gnarled black man who never failed to greet Matt with a big smile, was not smiling. Far from it.
“Come in. What’s up?” Matt said. Then, nodding toward the street where the patrol car sat: “What’s with the uniforms?”
The two detectives stepped into the foyer.
“Take your coats off,” Matt said. He could see they were dressed for work, sport jackets and ties on under their trench coats.
“Matt...,” McCann said.
“Talk, Jack,” Matt said. “Is somebody dead?”
“Is Michael home?” Goode asked. He had not taken off his coat, and neither had McCann.
“That’s his car out there,” Matt said. “You know that.”
“Where is he?”
“He’s upstairs.”
Matt looked from McCann to Goode, then back to McCann; looked in the eyes of each, and did not like what he saw. “What about Michael?” he asked.
“We’re here to arrest him,” McCann replied.
“For what?” Drugs, Matt thought, good, let the kid get a taste of the pain he’s always inflicting on others. Him and his two Arab suppliers.
“For murder, Matt,” Goode said.
My Thoughts:
I have always been a fan of suspense novels and Mr LePore's novel is full
of twists and turns that kept me engaged and interested. Matt is an
interesting character who has quite a temper but takes care of his
family. There were times that I was a little confused by the switch of
characters but I was able to follow the storyline. All of the
characters complemented each other and added to the story. The ending
was a surprise and the epilogue tied up the story well. the book was
well written and I recommend it to everyone who likes a good mystery
loaded with suspense.

Now that the New Year has begun and many of us have made a resolution to lose some weight, let me introduce the Dr Sears Zone 1-2-3 program. I have tried many diets and they just do not work. I have lost weight only to gain back what I lost and more. Thanks to the folks at the Zone diet, I got the opportunity to try the Zone Standard Program.
Weight loss has never been easier. You are eating the foods
you like to eat and not feeling hungry between meals. That's the
Zone promise. Each ZoneFast™ Weight-Loss Package contains a variety of
popular breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack items along with our
structured meal planner to help you get acquainted with preparing your
Zone meals and put you on the fast track to losing weight. All of the foods contain 14gms of Zone protein that works in your digestive system to tell your brain that you are full. For more information on how the Zone diet works please visit the site.
My Thoughts:
When he package arrived, I was impressed with the look of the food. All of the baked goods had to be refrigerated to prevent spoilage. Each item was individually wrapped. The portions were large and I felt full after eating them. At first, I though that the food was going to taste horrible and bland but it was quite different. The breads, snacks, desserts and snack bars were soft, chewy and delicious. Look at all of the food you get with the standard program. Included was a guide and other useful information to start you in the right direction.
My favorite was the cinnamon buns. I heated them in the microwave and they melted in my mouth. I love pasta and rice and we ate it 2-3 times a week. The Fusilli and Orzo was a great alternative for dinner. I mixed them with some chicken, tomatoes and spices and had a fantastic dinner. I have learned portion control while on the program. I have lost 5 lbs since starting the program after Christmas and overall I feel better. I continue to exercise 3x week and I drink a large amount of water.
BOY DOES THAT LOOK YUMMY!
My kids tried the pizza crust in the white and multi-grain variety when I was at work. They liked the taste of the multi-grain one better. They even took a picture of the pizza before they ate it. I would have not added the pepperoni but they are growing kids and do not have a weight problem. I encourage them to eat healthy whenever possible. It happened to be turkey pepperoni so it was not as bad.
Overall I was impressed with the program, and I recommend that you give it a try. The site has a large recipe collection and educational material to get you started and on track. Every Zone customer is assigned a coach to help you succeed.
Enter to win the Zone Standard Program ($74.99) so you can try the food for yourself.
Giveaway rules: Those who enter should be first time entrees and live in the USA. Please see rafflecopter for additional rules. Contest ends on 1/25/12 @ 11:59 PM EST.
Disclaimer: I was given a Zone Standard Program for my honest opinion and I was not compensated for my review.
