Simply Green: Unique Rabbit

December 31, 2009 By


I was introduced to Unique Rabbit recently. Unique Rabbit kindly sent me a complementary set of their product.

What is Unique Rabbit?
Kimberly at Unique Rabbit offers wonderful handmade items such as napkin hankies and hankie pockets!

Why is Unique Rabbit green and part of Simply Green? (taken from their homepage)
Paperless towels make a great gift for everyone on your list. They come beautifully packaged in twine with a small insert that explains the environmental benefits of paperless towels. Soft flannel paperless towels/napkins are gentle on you and the planet! If you are tired of spending money on disposable paper towels/napkins here’s an earth-friendly solution.

My thoughts about Unique Rabbit …
The paperless towels are really nice. They are a great size and the flannel fabric is really great. My kids can go through some napkins when they want to so it will be nice to give them these when they are in one of their super messy modes! We do enough laundry that it is super easy to just toss these in the next load that I was. If you want to keep on saving, get a couple of sets of these and then you can probably almost stop buying those paper napkins!

I am excited to announce that Unique Rabbit has offered one of my readers a set of reusable napkins to try themselves!

Simply Green: EcoSMART

December 30, 2009 By

I am pleased to introduce you to EcoSMART. EcoSMART generously sent me their Safe Plant and Garden Value Bundle that includes organic insect repellent.

What is EcoSMART? (taken from their Company Information page)
EcoSMART Technologies, the world leader in safe pesticide solutions, is a venture-backed company with patented technology and a world-class management team. Our mission is to create the world’s safest, most effective pesticides based on natural ingredients. We have 15 years of scientific research and a wealth of patents behind us. We make the only 100% safe insecticide that is proven to work. We offer the only complete line of EPA exempt pesticides sold in the US.

Why is EcoSMART green and part of Simply Green? (taken from their Company Information page)
EcoSMART was the first company to apply modern science to essential plant oils — creating the first 100% safe pesticides. Our products are based on the natural defenses that plants and trees have used for their self protection against insects and pathogens for millenia – essential oils.
Since EcoSMART’s proprietary botanical oil blends attack attributes that are specific only to pests, they have no effect on people, pets or the environment. The primary active ingredients in EcoSMART products are approved as Direct Food Additives or classified as GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration. These oils are commonly used to add flavor and aroma to many cosmetic, beverage and food products, including cake, candy, sweetener, gum, soft drinks, and lipstick. Children and pets are safe. No need to clear them out after application or be concerned if they are near our products. Our products have no adverse effect on mammals, birds, and fish and also will not contaminate water sources.

I was happy to receive the Safe Plant and Garden Value Bundle. It can be hard to find organic pest control for your garden! Needless to say here in Virginia we aren’t grown much of anything these days … the weeds are even frozen! That being said, come the spring, we will give this a full test drive in our veggie garden and I will do my best to remember to post an update then!

I am excited to announce that EcoSMART has offered one of my readers their Safe Personal Care bundle that includes four (4) bottles of insect repellent!

Yule Log Series

December 29, 2009 By Leave a Comment

This is a tad late but I wanted to share it with you. Sony Music sent me Brad Paisley Christmas which is part of their Yule Log Edition Series.

Due to our two feet of snow (and the inability for this area of Virginia to plan for two feet of snow) our mail delivery was out of sorts and plain just didn’t happen for a few days. Then I tossed in their my hiccup of gallbladder surgery so this just didn’t get posted before the holidays.

I wanted to post it now though in case you can hit up a clearance sale for holiday music and DVDs and see if they have any of these Yule Log Edition Series DVDs on clearance. If they do, stock up! These would be great for you and gifts for others.

Not only do you have the great music of the artists that you love such as Brad Paisley, Andy Williams, Whitney Houston, and many great others but you get great images on your TV such as a wood burning fire or snowy landscape! I think this will be my new Christmas present wrapping watching/listening routine. Then when I am done, I can sit down with my mug of hot chocolate and enjoy the beautiful pictures as I listen some great Christmas tunes.

So check out the Yule Log Edition Series when you get a chance!

Thanks to Sony Music for the review copy you sent me. Even though we just packaged up our Christmas decorations, I am ready to pull them back out put in the holiday music all over again!

December 29, 2009 By

Orient Watch produces watches that don’t require batteries which for the consumer means less waste and a long lasting watch!

Stainless Steel Case
Screw Caseback

Simply Green: The Joy of Cleaning Book

December 28, 2009 By
I excited to introduce you to The Joy of Cleaning. The Joy of Cleaning kindly sent me a complementary copy of this book!

What is The Joy of Cleaning? (adapted from the About The Author page)
Leslie Reichert is a “green” cleaning coach and the owner of the Back Door—a vacuum and homekeeping store now celebrating 18 years in Uxbridge, Massachusetts and nationally online at vacuumlady.com. Leslie has also seen, firsthand, scores of parents who fight a daily battle with asthma and allergies, which many believe are caused by using harsh chemicals in the home. Three years ago she realized she wanted to share her knowledge and encourage people in the “art” of homekeeping and green cleaning and since then she has become a coach, a presenter, and a speaker for the green cleaning industry. The Joy of Cleaning is a “cookbook” for green cleaning written by Leslie!

Why is The Joy of Cleaning green and part of Simply Green? (taken from their About page)
A collection of simple yet proven green recipes to help you green your cleaning. Just start by trying one or two and soon you’ll be going to your pantry for cleaning solutions instead of the cabinet under the sink.

My thoughts about The Joy of Cleaning …
When I got this book, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I don’t have time to make my own cleaners was my first thought. Plus I most certainly don’t have the stuff to make them. I was greatly surprised to see how easy these recipes are. I will admit there are some ingredient that you won’t have laying around. That is unless you randomly have soap flakes laying around your laundry room or cleaning closet. But many of them are common ingredients that you will have in your pantry or laundry room … or at least can pick up the next trip out the store. I really love that Leslie has written these recipes out. They are great a budget saver for families. If you want to be really thrifty and green, a gift basket of these cleaners made up would be a great house warming or well any time gift for just about any family!

Leslie’s site for The Joy of Cleaning also offers an e-book download of this great book. You save $5.95 PLUS the shipping and handling fee by getting the e-book to make it an even thriftier deal!

Also check out Leslie’s main site, The Cleaning Coach for great tips!

I am excited to announce that the Cleaning Coach has offered a hard copy of The Joy of Cleaning to one of my readers!!

What was the Most Surprising Gift You’ve Ever Received?

December 27, 2009 By Leave a Comment

What is your answer to this question?

For me, it was a gift that many ladies have received. My most surprising gift was my engagement ring. Sure, we had talked about marriage and what our life together would be but I was a college student and my guy was a grunt … more specifically an enlisted Infantry guy in the Army! I knew he didn’t have money to get me a ring but he hand managed to work out a financing deal and surprise me with a ring during his holiday leave. We hadn’t seen each other for months and during that time we had over a month where we didn’t even talk due his training. So needless to say, I was just happy to have him around.

I love my proposal story because it is a snowy, romantic story at one of my favourite places, the campus of Virgina Tech. ahhhh. We walked from my apartment to an ice cream store that had just opened and then walked over to campus. I remember telling Brian that my hands were going to freeze while I was foolishly trying to finish my yummy waffle cone! We got to campus and stood on top of the chapel (yes, you can stand on the top of the chapel!) and looked over the beautiful Drill Field. I saw the lights on in my old dorm room. That was the room I lived in when I met Brian. I was freezing and rambling on about how that room had great memories. Brian reached around me with a box and asked if I would create a lifetime of memories with him. That is when the tears started! Tears that instantly froze to my face. That was my Christmas gift eight years ago. I still remember how surprised I was and how special I felt that night.

I share that story hoping that we all get a moment where we are that surprised and feel that special!!

This is part of my submission to the TwitterMoms and http://www.target.com/ contest here.

So what is your answer to the question, “What was the Most Surprising Gift You’ve Ever Recieved?” Leave me a comment and let me know!

Simply Green: Bummas

December 26, 2009 By

I was introduced to Bummas recently. Bummas kindly sent me a complementary set of their product.

What is Bummas? (adapted from their Our Story page)
The creation of Bummas came about when we had our first baby boy. The one thing that was never mentioned was how to dry our little guy’s “stuff” off after the clean up. Our baby’s bum was just way too wet to put a diaper back on–and blowing down there until you’re blue in the face just wasn’t working. Thus Bummas were born. A soft absorbent, luxurious baby cloth to soak up all the wetness.

Why is Bummas green and part of Simply Green? (taken from their homepage)
Bummas are small soft, luxurious baby-sized cloths made especially for drying baby bottoms, as well as blocking those surprise squirts. And with a little douse of water, they can also replace wet wipes for clean up of sensitive bums. They are small enough to conveniently carry on the go and durable enough to wash over and over again and won’t pill shrink or fade. We think you will find Bummas to be an indispensable item in your diaper changing regimen.

My thoughts about Bummas …
I was sent a set of The Wild Ones Bummas. My three year old claimed them when arrived and declared they were “napkins”. She proceeded to play them by lining them up in a row and then using them in her play kitchen. That was first use of the Bummas at our house. Since then they have been used to clean up a messy baby as he practices eating oatmeal, wipe up spills, clean off hands, tossed in my pump bag as a clean up cloth, and probably a dozen other times. None of those were really the usages mentioned by Bummas but I can tell you they work great for all of them! They made it through the laundry several times and still look as good as new. So even if you don’t use these to dry your baby’s butt, I am sure you can find a dozen other ways to use them!;)

I am excited to announce that Bummas has offered one of my readers a set of Bummas to try themselves!

So what are the details?

Details:
This drawing will end Thursday, January 7th at 11:59pm EST. I will pick the winner using Random.org. The winner will have 48 hours to reply with their address.

Merry Christmas plus a savings tip!

December 25, 2009 By Leave a Comment
Merry Christmas!

Sorry no pretty clip art today but I am not at my computer. We are visiting my parents and got the joy of watching our girls open everyone’s presents. Their own weren’t enough so they took to helping everyone else! Plus we got to sing The Happy Birthday song to Baby Jesus … well, we had since he had a birthday cake and all! I love how little kids think and want to celebrate in the ways they know.

Since my tips have been few and far between lately, I wanted to share a simple after Christmas shopping tip.

TIP: Stock up on supplies you can use all year long while they are on clearance after the holiday. I only buy tissue paper after Christmas. I don’t pay full price for tissue paper … ever! Plain white tissue paper is always on sale after Christmas. Also look for rolls of solid color paper and stock up on those too! You can use that paper all year long.;) Other “regular” items that have holiday packaging will be also be on clearance … tape, crackers, cookie dough, etc., … take an extra look around the holiday aisles for these items!

Of course, you probably know to stock up for next Christmas so go buy your cards, your decorations, etc all while they are on sale! Remember to look for boxed set gifts that can be used all year long by you or to give as gifts when you pull them out of the holiday box and repackage them in a gift bag!!

As for toys, wait on those. They tend to go on sale the end of January or early February.;)
