Batching Errands For The Win With Walmart & Pennzoil #DropShopAndOil

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone.#DropShopAndOil #CollectiveBias

I just finished creating the curriculum for a course I am teaching at SoFabU in Mastering Time Management. One of the tips in the course is batching your errands. I really don’t know anywhere I can batch more diverse errands than at a Walmart Supercenter. It’s almost like a contest for me of how many things can be taken care of in one trip. This past Saturday I dropped my van off at the Walmart Automotive Care Center and did a #DropShopAndOil.

With the holidays behind us, it was time to catch up with some needed maintenance tasks on the vehicle that carries my family around all year. An oil change with Pennzoil motor oil was the first thing on the agenda. So driving the van around the back of the store to the Automotive Care Center entrance was the first step. We then entered and stepped up to the counter to pick the service we wanted.

We had a very helpful associate named who assisted us and helped us pick the best Pennzoil motor oil for our van.

All Pennzoil products help clean out sludge lesser oils leave behind. Pennzoil is engineered for complete protection that will allow you to drive an extra 550 miles per year vs a dirty engine. No other motor oil provides better protection from friction.

With the help of our associate we chose the High Mileage Vehicle Pennzoil and it helps reduce leaks and oil consumption in higher mileage engines. It is specifically designed for new or late-model vehicles with over 75,000 miles, to help keep the engines running clean and going strong for a long time. Walmart Auto Care Center Oil Changes are a lot less than I would pay at the dealership, so I save time and money! Our Walmart Auto Care Center is open 7 days a week making it super convenient.

With our van in good hands, it was off to get the little guy a hair cut!

Then of course we took a stroll through the toy department for some great shark theme toys. Can you tell his newest interest is sharks?

After that, off to grocery shop.

After checking out our groceries, we went back to the Automotive Care Center to pick up our van.

Starting on 1/21/15 you can save $5 off one 5-quart bottle of Pennzoil Platinum with PurePlus Technology. Click HERE For the Special Offer! Hair cut, grocery shopping, and a well needed oil change with Pennzoil in one trip! That is power batching errands for the win! I would love to hear about your most successful batching errands adventures, leave a comment letting me know!

Johnson’s Baby Introduces Their Reformulated Baby Products!!! #PromiseToBaby

Johnson’s Baby was flooded with concerns from parents and grandparents over the safety of ingredients used in their baby products. In 2011, the company said they were going to start phasing out ingredients like formaldehyde and reducing traces of dioxane 1,4. Now in 2014, Johnson’s Baby said they have met that goal. The reformulated products are making their way to store shelves around the world and will replace existing products over the next several months. Even before their removal, customers would not have found formaldehyde or 1,4-dioxane listed on bottles because they aren’t technically ingredients.

Formaldehyde, which has been identified by government scientists as a carcinogen, is released over time by preservatives, like quaternium-15 and 1,4-dioxane is created during a process to make other ingredients mild but is also linked to cancer in animal studies. Johnson’s Baby says that the products were always safe and that they reformulated the products for the peace of mind of parents. The company also states that parabens were removed from most of the new and improved baby care line, ahead of their 2015 commitment to do so. For more information on this and Johnson & Johnson’s policies and timeline, visit safetyandcarecommitment.com.

A new video was just released by the company to mark the debut of the reformulated products. You can view the video below.

In the video Johnson’s Baby states that they were inspired by a Japanese legend when making the commitment to children to reformulate the products. The legend says that when you make 1000 origami cranes that it signifies a hope granted and a promise fulfilled. The company brought their employees and even the employee’s children together to make the cranes or storks to deliver their promise.

I think the origami storks are a beautiful way to show the fulfillment of a promise and I have never before heard that Japanese legend, but will now share it with my children. As a parent this reminds me of the promises we make to our kids to keep them safe, provide for their needs and to love and nurture them. I would never want to use a product with ingredients that are unsafe or questionable on my children and as the mother of a cancer survivor this is paramount to me! It’s a step in the right direction that Johnson’s Baby is removing these ingredients. What do you think?
