Eco-Nut Review/Giveaway Closed!

Eco Nuts ™ Organic Laundry Soap!

Eco Nuts are dried fruit shells that come from the Sapindus mukorossi tree in Nepal,India, and Indonesia.  These fruit shells have been used in India and China for centuries, and are now gaining popularity in America and Europe.  This laundry soap is a renewable, biodegradable, and organic alternative to chemical detergents and expensive "Green" laundry soaps.

Eco Nuts contain saponin, a natural cleaner that works as a surfactant, breaking the surface tension of the water to penetrate the fibers of your clothing.  Eco Nuts lifts stains from the fabric and leaves dirt suspended in the water to be washed away.

Eco Nuts are gentle on both clothes and skin, this makes them ideal for sensitive skin, eczema, allergies,and psoriasis. 

The antimicrobial properties of Eco Nuts also make them great for grey water and septic systems.  These shells will not foam up like commercial soaps, which have artificial foaming agents added.  Foam does not represent cleaning power.
HOW TO USE
  1. Place 4-5 Eco Nuts in the reusable bag, (provided) and tie closed.
  2. Put it in with your laundry and wash as you normally do, following manuf. instruct.
  3. Remove the Bag  at the end of the wash and set aside to dry.
  4. Re-use at least 5-7 times in hot water and up to 10 in cold until they start to disintegrate and then they can be composted in your garden and simply add new Eco Nuts to the bag.
 * There is no need for fabric softener, your laundry will come out soft and fluffy *

Mona at Eco Nuts has been so nice to let me review Eco Nuts for her.  I recieved Eco Nuts in the mail not long after I was told I could review for them.  I have to honestly admit that when I first opened the box of Eco Nuts I was a little overwhelmed by the smell .  As soon as I began using Eco Nut I did not have to worry about the smell staying on the clothes because it doesn't!  The clothes came out smelling fresh and clean.   


*Take Care Of Your Skin - Your Body's Largest Organ
*Say NO to Plastic Jugs
*Protect Yourself and Your Children From Harsh Chemicals

In light of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, They'll be donating at least 10% of their profits to help restore the marshlands and help wildlife rehabilitors in the area.

ECO NUTS also make Sugar and Salt Scrubs, Body Butters, Lip Balms, Bath Salts, Body Oils,
and more cleaning products.  All Natural !!!


I really am sold on Eco Nuts! No more measuring, no more adding softeners, and I love the whole "Green" effect!

Hard Candy Review


Who hasn't ever heard of Hard Candy!? Well if you are one of the very few that has not, it is a bold, stylish, and fun cosmetic line offered in the aisles of Wal-Mart

    Hard Candy will amaze with off the charts products, intense color, wild packaging and a flair for the dramatic. The name invokes all things girly and sweet while the brand brings in a slight edge and attitude. Truly the best of both worlds.

    They will turn heads, create buzz, lift energy, start conversations, end boredom and give good face. They
will push the envelope and pull in new customers. They will steer the industry to bigger and better and drive traffic to the cosmetics aisles. They will quench the desire for a new and fun cosmetic line and leave women thirsting for more.  Hard Candy will make a difference!
   Hard Candy is Glitteratzi and Curl Up & Dye, Kal-eye-descope and Lip Tattoo, Eye for an Eye and Split Personality and dozens of delectable products and hundreds of hues to choose from for the most fabulous face.  2010 will be a year of hard work, hard play and Hard Candy!
I have seen Hard Candy many of times before while visiting my local Wal-Mart.  My daughter swears upon it and has always recommended it to me.  She's especially fond of their Sheer Envy-Tinted Moisturizer!  I was so glad to be able to review a few of there products to witness it for myself.  I received the Curl Up & Dye Mascara in Ink.  I absolutley LOVE it!!  I love the brush and the way it curls my eyelashes outwards and upwards.  I wore this all day and never had to re-apply it once.  In this Texas heat that is saying alot!  This mascara comes in 6 different colors.  They carry your basic colors plus Punk Pink, Peacock Blue, and Limelight Teal.  You can purchase this mascara, and many more types, that Hard Candy carries, at Wal-Mart

 
I also reviewed Hard Candy's Mouthing Off  Sheer Lip Shine in Gossip.  I love a good lip gloss that is not sticky and thick .  This lip shine is def. a great buy for the price.  Gossip Lip Shine is just light enough and tinted enough to do the job for perfect looking lip coverage.  I would highly recommend this product.  You can purchase Mouthing Off Lip Shine at Wal-mart.


The next product Hard Candy sent me to review is my favorite.  Not only do I love the coverage this powder gives me but I am in love with the compact and the heart shaped sponge that applies the matte.  It is to cute! I reviewed Hard Candy's Welcome Matte in Mattifying.   This matte goes on so smooth and light and covers completly.   This Hard Candy product, along with all Hard Candy products are sold at all Wal-Mart's in the USA.


Hard Candy is your place for body art, body powder, and body sprays.  They also carry a huge assortment of eye colors in different forms, such as pencil, powder, and tattoo.
I really can not say enough about Hard Candy.  I am completly sold on their products and plan to purchase their awesome cosmetics again.

Hard Candy currently re-launched into Wal-Mart stores across the USA .  They are selling these products by large masses !  You can purchase the complete line of all Hard Candy products at Wal-mart and  at an average of $6 an item!  Unbelievable for such quality make-up but it is true. 

Please check out the entire Hard Candy brand at hardcandy.com and become of fan of Hard Candy on facebook and twitter.  Thanks this would be great!

WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU ARE EXPECTING--Review/Giveaway Closed!

         "WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU ARE EXPECTING"
                                                                 REVIEW/GIVEAWAY
Laurie at Bride and Baby, Birthday Party Kidz and Halloween Kidz. com has so graciously allowed me to host a Review / Giveaway ( for 2) Lucky Readers of the book " What To Expect When Your Expecting"




Where was this book when I was pregnant all three times?! Back in the late 70's I just don't think there were any books out ther that showed the baby month by month, in the womb, and showed how it physically changed, so in depth, as this book does. If there was such a book I sure didn't know of it. I love how "What To Expect..." answers from the smallest to the biggest of questions that scare a young, unsure mother-to-be. This book also prepares you for emergency cesarean delivery that can happen so fast, and unexpected. I know plenty of moms who had this happen and were scared to death! They could have sure used "What to Expect ..." Of course, I am way past my conceiving years but I loved reading through this book. I learned so much that I had never known before; for example,things I should have ate, certain exercises I should have done, and so much more! OOPS! To late now! I even learned a lot of interesting information for "after baby arrives" along with helpful tips!



This book is awesome! It is the complete guide that answers all questions about pregnancy... Reassuring mothers and fathers to-be


Featuring a week-by-week look at the growth of your baby and even
The complete chapter on pregnancy lifestyle, pre-conception, carrying twins, and more.
I would recommend this book highly to anyone. Oh, and yes, there is even a section for Dad's!

BIRTHDAY PARTY FOR KIDZ REVIEW & GIVEAWAY closed!

BIRTHDAY PARTY FOR KIDZ Closed!
REVIEW & GIVEAWAY

Laurie @ Birthday Party For Kidz has graciously allowed me to host a review/giveaway of her really awesome fun birthday party supplies for kids.


Birthday Party For Kidz sent me 3 cool gifts to review for her.

   One of these items is the Princess Mini Tote Bag.
  This tote bag is the perfect size for your favorite little princesses. Girls will love these pint-sized canvas totes that are decorated with their exclusive Princess designs and personalized with the name of your choice. Made of natural canvas and measures 8 ¾" square. Great for lots of little princess treasures. This bag is adorable and will hold more than it's share. My granddaughter wanted it for her "mommy purse".

   Another of the items sent for review was the Baby's First Sip-Trainer Cup. Sized just right for small hands, with a clear plastic sup and brightly colored sippy top. A great way to ease into drinking from a cup. The 8 oz. capacity is the perfect amount at one sitting. My 22 mth. old grandson loved drinking from this adorable cup. He really handled it with ease.

    Birthday Party For Kidz sent me a LadyBugs Oh So Sweet Empty Favor Box.
  Simply fill with goodies you mix and match from our huge selection of favors and prizes. Package includes 4 empty boxes per set for only $2.99 !
  What a great price! Birthday Party For Kidz has these boxes in every design and every
theme you can imagine.
  From baseball to TinkerBell and Fancy Nancy to Go Yabba Gabba and from John Deere Tractor to Bindi the Jungle Girl. You will not believe the selection of favor boxes they have------just take a look , they have more invites party supplies than any store I have ever seen. Their prices are really reasonable. A new idea that Birthday Party For Kidz has is " Just One Favor". Try "Just One Favor", instead of the "junk" foods. More Moms are using larger treats instead of all the traditional toys.

Check out "Just One Favor" on the BirthdayParty For Kidzwebsite. Birthday Party For Kidz offers many different party celebration areas . Such as : Milestone Birthdays, Adult Birthdays, Religious Celebrations, Summer , and Baby Showers.

Giveaway
One winner will win their choice one prize from the following...Sports Lovers' Cup, Decorate-Your-Own Princess Mirror kit, or Personalized Attache Carrying Case.

When you win, if you want to order more than you can contact me.
