Eco- Friendly Cleaning products that really work: Better Life Giveaway

With all the cleaning products claiming to be "Green" that have been popping up all over the place the last few years, it is hard to know what is really green and what really works. I have had the chance to try out the Better Life’s starter kit over the past couple weeks; Which includes four great eco-friendly cleaning products, loofah sponges and an euro sponge ... I am truly impressed. Not only are they green they actually work.


Since none of their products contain any sulfates, ethoxylates, fragrances, dyes, glycol ethers or alcohols there is no need to worry about breathing in harmful chemicals as we clean and it is safe for the kids to get into the action.

You may have heard me complain a time or two that I am so busy between taking care of my children, working and trying to keep up with my blogging. In all honesty, I have falling short in the house cleaning department as of late... I barely have time to shower much less clean one. 

The Clary Sage and Citrus whatEVER! Spray Cleaner is great because I can use it on almost anything. I have used it all over from my kitchen, bathroom and even inside my car... and it has cleaned everything that I have thrown at it. The scent is very pleasent and light not overpowering at all unlike most cleaners.

Another product that I really like is Simply Floored,  It works great removing all the nastiness from my laminate floors without having to get on my hands and knees to scrub the gunk by hand. I have always hated the smell of most floor cleaners, the strong scents make me sick and give me migranes. Simply Floored is unscented so I can have a clean floor without the headache.. literally.

We used the I Can See Clearly, WOW! window cleaner on the windsheild of both of our vehicles and it has clearly made a difference. Before it was streaked and the glare from oncoming traffic while driving at night was unbearable, now we can actually see and without the glare.

The last product that we recieved was Even the Kitchen sink it is a naturally powerful gentle cleaning scrubber works that works on tubs, tile and grout, toilet bowls, shower doors, ceramic, stovetops, glass cooktops, stainless steel sinks, porcelain, enamel, stone, cultured marble, non-polished solid countertops, & laminate. I have not really used this product but my husband  has used it to clean the toilet and bathroom sink. I can not really comment on the ease of use myself but I can say that their is no residue left behind and our toilet looks almost like new.

I really really love the collapsible 6 compartment cleaning caddy that the products arrived in as well, it makes lugging the products around so much easier and would be perfect for someone who cleans houses for a living. If I had the money I would buy one for everyone I know!

Well I may not be able to buy one for everyone I know... However, thanks to Jim from Better life I will have the opportunity to give one away to one of you!

Green Toys Review

I have heard about Green Toys  on other blogs and  have heard great things about their products. So, I was so excited when Green Toys gave me the opportunity to review their Green Toys Dish Set myself.

I fully intended to have my niece help me with this review but when L.C my eight year old saw them, he insisted on keeping them for himself. To tell you the truth, I was honestly a little shocked by that but he seems to enjoy them.

He has been playing with them and using them for real food, the small bowls are a perfect size for  his Ice Cream and cereal. They are  light but sturdy, and come in four great pastel colors. You may be thinking that I shouldn't be letting my son eat from from plastic toy dishes, it may not be food safe. Normally I would agree but... one of the great things about this set is that it is  safe for food. 

That is because Green Toys products are tested by nationally recognized, independent, third-party labs.  They contain no traceable amounts of Phthalates or BPA. They are also designed without any external coatings, eliminating the fear of chipping lead paint. 

   

 About the Company from GreenToys.com

"Green Toys Inc. is a California based toy company that makes classic toys constructed from recycled plastic and other environmentally friendly materials.All Green Toys products are 100% made in the USA. To be more specific, they are produced in California, a state known for strict toy safety and environmental laws. It's cool to buy USA, but also think about this: transportation is one of the biggest contributors to greenhouse gasses. We all know driving less is good for mother nature, but did you ever think about how many miles a toy logs before it ends up in your local store?

Our toys are truly local creations. Every step in the process, from milk container recycling to toy production to final assembly, occurs in California. Our raw materials and toys aren't shipped from overseas, which saves a lot of energy and reduces greenhouse gasses. It also guarantees your toys won't get seasick before they get to your home!

Green Toys environmental mission even extends to our packaging. We strive to minimize packaging, and all of our boxes use as little material as possible. All Green Toys products are packaged in recycled corrugated boxes with no plastics, cellophane or twist-ties, and are 100% recyclable. So, not only are they earth-friendly and ready for your recycling bin, they are really easy to open for those little fingers just itching to get at the toys!!"

Piggy Paint Review and Coupon Code

Little princesses everywhere love getting their hair and nails done, My niece Erin is no exception. Up until yesterday she had never had her nails done, due to asthma.

"Most nail polishes contain Formaldehyde, which is used as a preservative. Breathing in formaldehyde fumes often leads to coughing and wheezing, and can trigger an asthma attack."

When given the opportunity to try Piggy Paint we were excited because it was something that would be safe enough for her to use. That is because Piggy Paint  polishes are  water based, hypoallergenic, non-flammable and made of natural ingredients.

 Why is Piggy Paint™ Nail Polish the safe nail polish choice for children?

• Non-toxic
• Low Odor
• Water-based formula
• Hypoallergenic
• Fun, vibrant colors
• Dries to a hard, durable finish

"Piggy Paint™ is specially formulated from God’s natural ingredients and dries to a hard, durable finish. There are no toxic chemicals; it’s free of formaldehyde, toluene, phthalates, Bisphenol A, ethyl acetate and acetone". 

Why is Piggy Paint™ Nail Polish Remover the best choice for your little girl?

• Low Odor
• Made from natural ingredients

• Biodegradable

"Put harmful, smelly polish removers behind you with Piggy Paint™ Nail Polish Remover, a remover that works quickly on all polishes, especially Piggy Paint™ Nail Polish. Our remover is safe to use and contains none of the solvents that could offend your nose or harm our atmosphere. Aloe Vera and Vitamin E are added to supplement the natural oils that protect little one’s nails and cuticles. Ingredients - Corn alcohol, butyl diglycol, Aloe Vera extract, Vitamin E, embittering agent."

We received Piggy Paint Nail Polish in Girls Rule to review, it is a shimmery magenta purple, which she loved. The applicator was the perfect size for her little nails, and the polish itself dried really quick.

Dancing Dingo Luxury Soaps Giveaway.

 

 Still not finished Christmas Shopping?

Don't fret there is still time to grab those last few presents at Dancing dingo. Not only,  do they offer botanical soaps, but they have a large bath and natural skin care product line for the entire family, including a line of baby products and even a natural dog care line.

About Dancing Dingo

Dancing Dingo Luxury Soap was created in Austin, Texas, by Kathy Cumberland Goodwin. Kathy had been in the engineering field for over 20 years, and one day began to notice that her life seemed to be passing by at a greater rate of speed than in previous days. Kathy was secretly burning to discover what in life would make her feel truly happy and fulfilled; what was her passion?

While searching for answers one beautifully starlit Texas night, Kathy was momentarily distracted by Margaret, the Dancing Dingo dog. Margaret happens to be a dog who would rather hop around on her hind legs checking out the world above the floor, than walking on all fours. Looking into Margaret's happy and smiling eyes, Kathy realized her answer: happiness lies in doing what feeds your soul, like Margaret's dog dancing. For Kathy, happiness would be found in having a company that encourages women to treat themselves well and have fun with products that are both natural and good for you!


Today that's what Dancing Dingo Luxury Soap is all about: treating yourself well, both physically and mentally, with natural and good-for-you products. Whether it's soaking in a soothing botanical Bath Tea, or stretching out for a cat nap in crisp cool linen sheets scented with French Lavender Linen Spray, Dancing Dingo is committed to creating scrumptious products that make you feel pampered and glad to be woman. Celebrating our 'Sophistication Unleashed!' motto, Dancing Dingo boasts of products that are good for you and lusciously scented.

Kathy has generously offered to give one lucky Angela' Bits Reader a $25 gift certificate to be used at DancingDingo.com.

ECOBAGS Review

 About EcoBags

Eco-Bags Products, Inc. opened for business in 1989 with a simple goal; to produce quality bags at great prices so that "Reusable becomes a way of life." We started with the ECOBAGS^® Brand Classic String Bag, a simple lightweight, expandable daily tote used in Europe for generations, long before paper and plastic bags.

We introduced our bags at the 1990 Earth Day celebration on Sixth Avenue in New York City. The bags were a hit. We sold out in four hours. Now, we carry a complete line of ECOBAGS^® Brand bags in natural and certified organic cotton, recycled cotton and hemp/cotton blends. 

We are all aware of the need to take better care of our planet, by using less and recycling more... Now, I am not the greenest  person by far, but I am a firm believer that every little bits helps; By using reusable bags we can do our part. 

I was recently given the opportunity to review a Classic String bag from ECOBAGS, similar to the ones pictured above.  I am fairly impressed by the sturdiness of the product, I was able to stuff it full with items with no worries on it breaking.  

I think that this would be a great bag to take to the beach, you could safely fit a couple towels, swimsuit, sunblock and bottle water into this bag. With its string design you would not have to worry about bringing the sand home with you, because it would simply fall out.

Not a fan of the string design? No worries they carry a large variety of products on their website, I am sure you could find one to suit your taste.

ECOBAGS^® Brand products can be found in many natural foods, gourmet, eco, grocery and drug stores or online at ECOBAGS.COM

Special savings, from now until 12/31/09 you can save 20% of your entire purchase at EcoBags.com 
by using the promo code.   FF09 at check out! 

WAT-AAH Challenge

WAT-AAH, is a premium water that contains no sugar and is made specifically for kids. It’s available in four unflavored varieties -brain, body, energy, and bones. 

My oldest son loves water where my youngest will only drink it when he has no other choice. So, I thought it would be fun to take the WAT-AAH Challenge. In the WAT-AAH Challenge you place bottles of WAT-AAH alongside soda or other sugary drinks. and see which drink your child chooses.

The box of water was sitting on our front porch when the kids got home from school, I was not able to put them in the fridge. Both of the kids were very excited by the cool bottles and immediately begin arguing over the colors. The kids couldn't wait to try them two bottles never even made it into the fridge at all.

The following day they had walking club after school, they brought the two remaining bottles with them. I tried getting a picture of there natural reactions but as soon as my little camera hog seen the camera come out he stopped to pose.

When asked if they prefer WAT-AAH  over juice or soda, they both chose WAT-AAH.

Enter to win a WAT-AAH! Backpack filled w/ fun back-to-school goodies (pencils, erasers, stickers etc...) Along w/ WAT-AAH! samples as well! This giveaway is open to U.S residents only. Ends 12/16/09

ReBinder Review and Giveaway!

I've been writing short stories in notebooks since I was probably 11. For some reason its easier for me to write them all out by hand than on a computer,  especially when I am trying to come up with ideas.

As you can imagine I consume way more paper than I should, and that is why I am so excited to have the opportunity to review some great sustainable and green Office Products from ReBinder.

What I received

RePocket:  A two pocket folder that is thicker and more rigid than traditional folders. Made from 100% Recycled 20 point FSC Certified bending chipboard.

They are quite heavier than the folders I am used to, and hold up great.

1" ReBinder: A 3 Ring Binder with a removable and recyclable cover. Made from rigid recycled corrugated cardboard.

I remember back in high school doodling all over my trapper keeper and binders, these binders would be great for that. You have a blank slate to decorate however you wish.

RePouch -- A large pouch that goes in the binders with a slot for a c.d,  Made from 20 point recycled bending chipboard, it holds up to continuous page turning.

This pouch is pretty deep and will hold quite a bit of papers.

ReTab --   5 tab Dividers that are made from rigid 18 point FSC Certified bending chipboard in a five-cut tab configuration. (They also carry an eight-tab version.)

1.5" ReBinder: The 1.5" ReBinder is made from 100 point solid FSC Certified recycled chipboard and contains a unique removable ring metal assembly, that you simply unscrew and attach to a new cover.

The Rebinders are recyclable and reusable, with a removable ring metal assembly that you simply unscrew and screw into replacement covers.

ReSleeve: A Recycled CD jewel case...making plastic cases a thing of the past. ReSleeves are made from 16 point rigid FSC Certified bending chipboard to protect your CD/DVD .

RePlay: RePlay comes with two open pockets that fit a single disc and a small booklet or two discs. Looks like a traditional jewel case but made from 18 point recycled FSC Certified bending chipboard.

They are slightly thinner than an actual plastic jewel case,  making them more compact to store C.Ds.

ReBadge: A badge that is made from plants and not from plastic!  Comes with a sample of 100% recycled perforated brown cardstock.

ReBound:  ReBound's clear cover looks, feels and performs like plastic but it's made from plants! ReBound can be used with any comb or coil binding system and comes with a clear PLA cover and a 20 point recycled FSC Certified chipboard back.

ReWrite mini -- LINED:  5" x 8" recycled notebook that comes with 40 pages of 100% Recycled / FSC Certified paper and a recycled FSC Certified bending chipboard cover. I received the college ruled (lined) version but ReWrite  minis are available in case quantities in  blank or quad ruled graph paper.

ReWrite Full Size- quad ruled graph paper 8" x 10" Recycled Brown Notebook that are also available in  ruled or blank,  printed with soy based inks.

The ReWrite notebooks are  very nice, the cover can take a beating and still look nice. My only complaint would be that they only contain 40 sheets of paper.

         ReMark The Eco Pen The true eco friendly pen -  

ReMark pens contain no petroleum plastic, they look and feel like plastic but they are made from plant resins from sustainably harvested wood and organic cotton. Send them back to ReBinder and they will "upcycle" them and make new pens.

About the products

* Rebinder's Chipboard/Bending Chip: 100% Recycled / Minimum of 85%   Post Consumer Recycled Fibers, FSC Certified and fully recyclable end of life.

* Rebinder's Corrugated Cardboard: 70% Recycled (at least 40% Post Consumer Recycled) and fully recyclable end of life.

* Rebinder's PLA (Poly Lactic Acid): Clear sheet made from plants, not from plastic. Certified Compostable by ASTM D6400 Standards.

These office products cost slightly more, but are more eco-friendly than the typical products we see in the stores. They are also very sturdy and, and I consider that worth the investment.

ecostore usa *Giveaway*

I have had the pleasure of trying two fabulous, eco-friendly products from ecostore USA recently. I love the fact that all their products are all natural and contain "No Nasty Chemicals", matter of fact that is the ecostore philosophy and the foundation of their entire product line.

The first product I used was the liquid laundry. I was a little taken back by the small awkward bottle at first, but after reading the directions, I could see why. With my regular laundry soap, I need a full cup to get my laundry clean, With Liquid laundry it only takes    2-3  tbsp. due to it being heavily concentrated.

The scent is light and fresh, and smelled slightly of citrus, unlike the heavily perfumed laundry detergent, I am accustomed to. Which makes this product great for those of us with sensitive skin. Overall, I was quite pleased with liquid laundry my clothes came out of the washer, fresh and clean.

Liquid Laundry is composed of "100% certified organic eucalyptus oil and other plant based products." Which can be easily found on their website.

I also had the opportunity to try the Pure Oxygen Whitener, the first thing I noticed that like the laundry liquid it had a light, fresh citrus scent. My husband is a mechanic that comes home with nasty, smelly socks, I have tried many products to try to get the oil stains out, to no avail. I decided that these nasty little things would be the ultimate test.

I left the laundry soaking in the whitener overnight and seen a huge improvement in brightness. While it did not necessarily take all of the motor oil stains out of my husbands socks, nothing really had in the past either. In my opinion this whitener works as good as the leading brands, without the mess.

                                                WIN IT!

The Bye Bye Monster story book is a story about a little boy named  Joey. Joey like many other children has a fear of monsters, until his mommy gave him a bottle of monster spray. Armed with his monster spray Joey is able to conquer his fear. Which leads to him befriending a friendly monster named Barley, together they embark on an adventurous journey to Monster Street.

Our experience:

My youngest son has progressed a lot since reading this story. He had been sleeping in his brothers room for the last 2 yrs. After reading this story (several times) and arming him with his very own monster spray, he has slept in his room nearly every night. He may not be completely over  his fears but he is well on his way.
