I’m a busy mom. Like most moms I wear many “hats” – chef, housekeeper, car service driver, repair (wo)man, nurse, vet… you get the idea. I always feel like I’m on the go-go-go. Even when I’m lying in bed at night my mind is racing with thoughts about what I need to do the following day.
Because I’m always very busy I have become rather proficient in multitasking. Ok, maybe not always, but most of the time I can multitask very well.
I’m always looking for products that will allow me to do more than one thing at a time, or products that serve multiple functions. Most especially products that can help me get things done in less amount of time. For example, wipes that clean both counter tops and mirrors, or a facial cleanser that can also remove eye make up.
Sometimes products that are meant to be 2-in-1 are not always seen as great things. Take for example Pajama Jeans. I’m sure you’ve seen the infomercials on TV, or perhaps you’ve even seen them in the store. Pajama jeans look like jeans from a distance (up close you can tell they are not really jeans). They are made with a very soft material, similar to something pajamas would be made out of. Technically you could roll out of bed and off to the grocery store all while wearing the Pajama Jeans. They are also nice to lounge around your how with. You feel like your still in your jammies but to the rest of the world you look like you are wearing jeans.
Pajama Jeans are one of those 2-in-1 ideas that hasn’t really taken off with most people. Some people think they are rather silly.
Shh… don’t tell anyone but I have a pair of Pajama Jeans. 🙂 I haven’t worn them to run errands but I have worn them to take my kids to the bus stop in the morning. I often wear them while I’m working at the computer too (I’m literally working at home in my pajamas). I haven’t slept in them yet (I prefer night shirts). I doubt I will.
Another 2-in-1 idea is the Spork. If you are not familiar with that term a Spork is part spoon, part fork. This is another one of those 2-in-1 ideas that some people just don’t appreciate. I happen to be a Spork appreciator. My husband too. He likes to take salad and treats like pudding or JELLO to work with him. A Spork allows him to eat his salad and enjoy his pudding or JELLO all with the same eating utensil.
The downside to Sporks is that they can be sharp and the last thing you want when eating your JELLO is stabbing yourself in the lips.
Some 2-in-1 ideas are great, others not-so-great. Its all a matter of opinion. But there is one thing I think most people will agree on, it’s great to have products that serve two purposes in one. Take for example Ivory’s 2-in-1 Hair & Body Wash. It’s part body wash, part shampoo. You can literally wash yourself from the top of your head to the tips of your toes with just one product.
I could see how this product would with children and men who tend to have short hair (my hubby and teenage son have crew cuts). I couldn’t imagine a body wash that would also wash my long, thick hair well too. Since I’m all for saving time I was happy to give Ivory 2-in-1 Hair & Body Wash a try.
I was pleasantly surprised that the Ivory 2-in-1 not only washed my long, thick hair very well but it also rinsed out well too. I do require a bit of conditioner on my ends but other than that I think the wash did a great job on my hair. It also washed and rinsed well from my body too. My husband and both of my teenagers only require this one bottle to wash their entire bodies and hair (my daughter doesn’t seem to need an extra conditioner).
Not only does Ivory 2-in-1 save us time in the shower but it also saves space on the shower shelf. Instead of having multiple bottles of body wash, shampoos and conditioners we only have ONE bottle of Ivory 2-in-1 and ONE bottle of conditioner (for my ends). That’s it! So not only is the Ivory 2-in-1 a time saver it’s a space saver too. It’s also a product my entire family can use.
The Ivory 2-in-1 has a very light scent so it’s fine for men and boys to use. In fact I appreciate that Ivory did that. If it smelled too “girly” my husband and teenage son wouldn’t use it.
I also love that Ivory products are clean and simple as well as free of unnecessary ingredients.
My whole family gives Ivory’s 2-in-1 Hair & Body Wash squeaky clean thumbs up. 🙂
Look for Ivory’s 2-in-1 Wash where ever Ivory products are sold.
