I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Charmin. I received product samples and a promotional item to thank me for my participation.
With the holidays coming up, there is no shortage of things to do around here to prepare! With three sets of grandparents, every holiday is different for us. We will be having celebrations at our house on Christmas Eve, then visiting my in-laws on Christmas Day, and having my mother and grandmother over later that evening!
This year, I’m excited to be in charge of our Christmas Eve meal with my dad and his wife. I don’t know if I’ll make a traditional holiday meal or if I’ll do something fun like buying party trays. I like to have as stress-free of a holiday as possible, so even if I end up making something, it’ll be something easy and crowd-pleasing.
Our living room and kitchen will get the once-over with tidying and cleaning for sure, since we’ll be congregating in there for gifts and a meal. One thing always stays the same, though. When we have guests, everyone uses our guest bathroom downstairs.
Preparing the Bathroom for the Holidays
When I’m ready to prepare for guests, the first thing I tackle is that bathroom. There are several ways I like to spruce it up and I actually have a lot of fun since this is one of the most frequented rooms during the holiday season.
My favorite thing is to stock the guest bathroom with sweet, holiday scented products. Scented hand soaps and holiday inspired air fresheners are a given. I also like to use holiday print hand towels. Sometimes, you’ll even catch me putting unconventional things in there to decorate the bathroom, like lining the shelf with beautiful Christmas cards or a sparkly ornament. Decorating doesn’t have to break the bank, after all.
The most important thing I do in that bathroom to prepare for guests is to stock it well with plenty of toilet paper, and I prefer to use Charmin. I have an umbrella tin that I fill with extra rolls and place next to the toilet. This would typically used to store the taller-sized umbrellas near a front door, but is the perfect size for tucking away 3-4 rolls of toilet paper! Is there anything more embarrassing than asking your host for more toilet paper?
Okay, there might be one more thing that would be even more embarrassing. What about having to ask your host to unclog the toilet after you’ve used it? YIKES! To prevent that scenario from playing out and ruining an otherwise perfect day, we trust Charmin. Charmin and Roto-Rooter, America’s largest provider of plumbing and drain services, have teamed up again this year to remind us all that only Charmin has a clog-free and septic-safe guarantee. Roto-Rooter plumbers recommend Charmin more than any other brand. It’s also used by plumbers more than any other brand!
Charmin is a Trusted Brand
For more than 70 years, Charmin has been trusted in millions of American homes. I always think of their cute bears in the commercials. My kids love those, too! You know the ones where they are trying to decide if they want Ultra Strong or Ultra Soft toilet tissue? We have a split vote in our house as to which one is best, so I like to have both on hand at all times.
We like Charmin because it lasts longer. We use less of it with each bathroom break than with other brands. With a family of 7, that’s kind of a big deal! The fewer trips to the store I have to make with all of the kids in tow, the better. Our house has four toilets to stock up in. We can easily go through 3-4 rolls of toilet tissue per week, but with Charmin, it’s about half of that.
Not only that, but Charmin isn’t scratchy on delicate skin. My kids don’t complain when we have Charmin. That is worth its weight in gold. I hate when they complain!
