Growing up in the boroughs of New York City wasn’t easy, but I have some fond memories. I lived there all my life and it was the only place I truly knew. Navigating through the concrete jungles had its challenges but there was always someone who made my days so much brighter – my great grandmother. The way she cooked, the way she cleaned, or just the way she washed my clothes always brought a comfortable feeling for me. When I use Suavitel® laundry products especially the new Fragrance Pearls™ it takes me back to when I was a little girl.
The memories are special to me because my great grandmother suffers from Alzheimer’s Disease. My beautiful, caring, and loving grandmother is no longer the same person – she doesn’t remember me sometimes. I don’t get to see her often since she lives in Puerto Rico but I cherish the pictures that are shared through social media from my grandmother. My great grandmother always spent a few months out of the year with my family, her daughter in New Jersey, and her other daughter in Puerto Rico. We all got to spend time with her. I was so lucky to have such a caring great grandmother who made me Farina and sopa de fideo whenever I wanted.
My grandmother was a homebody. She loved being at home cooking, watching her novelas, and Don Francisco on Univision. I always remember her doing laundry, she just had this magical touch – everything smelled so fresh and clean. Every time I use Suavitel® laundry products, it takes me back to the fresh clean smell of my childhood. Sometimes she would let them air dry outside our window and they would come back smelling so good!
The original Suavitel® liquid Fabric Conditioner has been around my family for many years. My favorite scent is the Fabulous Field Flowers scent but there is also Soothing Lavender! When I grabbed the Suavitel® Fragrance Pearls™, I was amazed of how similar they smell. Love that my clothes get that extra boost of fragrance that reminds me of my great grandmother’s fresh laundry. The fragrance lasts 5x longer than using regular detergent alone and the Suavitel® Fragrance Pearls™ have in-wash boosters! Just amazing how a product that has been used by so many of my family members brings back memories of my childhood, fond memories.

I loved reading about your grandmother! Some of those memories can bring back so many emotions. My Grandma suffered from Alzheimer’s as well before she passed and I really try to treasure our memories together!
Certain smells always remind me of my younger days as well! Sounds like she was a special lady!
Awwww look at tía! !! I miss her so much!! I remember when she would come stay with you guys.. I would go to your house as often as I could, so I can see and spend time with her.. she was and still is a special lady..
Aw, such a heartfelt story. I remember my great grandmother always made the best iced tea. No one makes it like she used to. She always had a jar of tea ready when I would come visit her, even at the very end!
