Bounce & Thom Filicia Welcomes Bounce Bursts to the Washing Machine

We found out something, thanks to Bounce, that really had us thinking about how much time we spend indoors. If you think about it, the majority of all our time is spent indoors. Whether it be at home, on our commute (subway or car), at work, etc. We really do spend most of our lives inside missing out on all the wonderful scents and views nature has in store for us. Did you know that taking in the fresh smell of outdoors can actually refresh your mood? According to a recent study, Americans spend 90 percent or more of their time indoors. Which led to Bounce asking the question, “what if we can bring the outdoor freshness inside?” And of course they have achieve just that with the launch of their newest, time-released, in-wash fabric care product, Bounce Bursts.

With the help of celebrity interior designer Thom Filicia of HGTV and Style Network (he will always be one of the Fab Five to us), Bounce transformed The Old Bowery Station in downtown NYC to a beautiful outdoor meadow complete with beautiful spring flowers, a swing chair so inviting, we almost sat down and spent the afternoon taking in the wonderful, fresh scent of Bounce’s latest launch, and a line of fresh scented laundry.

Bounce’s first ever in-wash laundry product helps bring the freshness of the outdoors with you whenever you go, making you forget you’re stuck indoors. Just shake a few of these fun little bursts into your washer at the beginning of the wash cycle and enjoy the refreshing, clean, breezy, outdoor freshness in everything you wash for weeks. We had the great opportunity to have Thom Filicia walk us through the event and introduce us to Bounce Bursts, share some of his amazing design work and products (we want that rug), and share tips on how to incorporate outdoor freshness in our homes and fabrics.

Some of our favorite Thom Filicia tips are as follows:

• Don’t be afraid of bright colors – By painting your walls with a bright color, the essence and vibrancy of the outdoors can be translated inside. For those who aren’t risk takers, focusing on one accent wall or introducing bright colors through the use of throw pillows or blankets as an easy (and maybe less daunting) way to bring the outdoors indoors.
• Switch up your patterns and layer your materials – Don’t be afraid to be playful with your fabrics, adding in floral-inspired patterns and colors, along with a mix of materials, from wood to metal or stone, will help you evoke the feeling of being outside while lounging and even working indoors. You can also wash linens and other washable fabrics with Bounce Bursts for an added boost of Outdoor Fresh Scent.
• Transform your fabrics – By washing your clothes with Bounce Bursts, you will take the Outdoor Fresh scent with you everywhere you go. You can also add the beads to a dish or vase to transform the scent of your entire laundry room. 

Bounce Bursts are now available nationwide in Bounce’s signature Outdoor Fresh scent for a $6.99. Visit http://bouncefresh.com/bursts/laundry-scent-booster for more information on new Bounce Bursts.
