It’s Back to School Time and We’re Taking the PURELL 30-Day Challenge #PURELLChallenge

This post was sponsored by GOJO Industries, the makers of PURELL®Advanced Hand Sanitizer. The opinions are completely my own based on my experience.

I still can’t believe that summer break is over and my son started back to school last Thursday. He is in is first full week of school this week and although I wish we had a couple more weeks left to enjoy the summer, we are back into the groove of a school routine, even with me cracking my right rib on Friday (that’s a story for another day).

Thankfully I did our back to school shopping at Target before I cracked my ribs.

I know some parents dread back-to-school shopping, but I actually enjoy it. I like printing out the back-to-school supply list, going to Target, and checking things off my list. And with the exception of one thing that had to be ordered, I was able to get everything at Target.

My son needed lots of binders, paper (college-ruled, notebooks and graphing paper), pens and pencils this year. I think that means lots of writing. Although he does have the most atrocious handwriting, he loves writing — the process and creativity of writing.

While shopping for school supplies, I also picked up lots of PURELL Hand Sanitizer.

To celebrate the start of the new school year and to get it started off on the right foot, by keeping our household healthy and happy, we are taking the PURELL 30-Day Challenge. Starting today! We will commit to using PURELL Advanced Hand Sanitizer for 30 days.

Honestly, this will be easy, since we do this most days anyway, but we will be developing a good habit of using it every single day. Especially since our son is back in school, no better time than the present to start this challenge.

You can get PURELL in gels, wipes, and portable (or pocket-sized) bottles…

  • PURELL® Advanced Hand Sanitizer
  • PURELL® Hand Sanitizing Wipes
  • PURELL® JELLY WRAP™ Carriers

 

I keep the portables in my bag, the car, gym bag, son’s lunch box, and his backpack.

I plan on continuing to use PURELL brand of products throughout the year by turning a challenge, into a habit. Because PURELL Advanced Hand Sanitizer is one of my son’s backpack essentials.
 

Is PURELL Advanced Hand Sanitizer from Target on your back to school list?
