Ecostore Review and GIVEAWAY!

I would never describe myself as the most eco-friendly person ever...I drive {and love} and SUV, I clean with the harshest chemicals I can find, and I will never ever clothe diaper {I have absolutely nothing against anyone that does, it's just not for me}. But don't think that I totally hate the planet or anything...I recycle everything I can, I buy in bulk which uses less packaging, and I am constantly trying to repurpose things around the house so I don't have to buy new. Now that I have Little M, I am rethinking the way I do things in other ways as well. Recently I've noticed that I'm coughing whenever I'm cleaning. And if the chemicals are causing problems for me, I can only imagine what they are doing to Little M.

So when I was contacted by ecostore USA recently to do a review of there products, I was very excited! It was as if they knew I was thinking of making the switch to greener cleaning products. They quickly sent me the Citrus Spray Cleaner and the Cream Cleanser to try out. I was so anxious to try them out I started cleaning the kitchen as soon as I opened the box. And I must say that I am in love! They clean wonderfully and I was not coughing at all. Even my grimy oven was spotless. It leaves behind a fresh citrus scent, nothing like the chemical smell other things can sometimes leave behind. I also love that the products are naturally anti-bacterial, so I know I am keeping my house germ-free!

ecostore USA has a ton of other products as well, including baby products, laundry items, and pet care. And they have graciously donated a $25.00 gift certificate to one of my lucky readers! {and that is the perfect amount because all orders of $25 qualify for free shipping!}

    My favorite way to go green is that I use natural beauty products, and the packaging can be recycled!

    I've alwys cleaned with harsh chemicals too but lately I've been thinking it might be time to make the switch! What perfect timing! :) We recycle everything around here, it's easy and makes me feel better about driving an SUV (which I love too!)

    I'm all about using those cloth bags for shopping. That's one way that I go green.

    I also use green bags for shopping, and repurpose any plastic bags I get as garbage bags. But my favorite way to go green is using my steam mop to clean my floors instead of chemicals - just using water on the floor lets me know that the pup isn't getting any chemicals on his feet, which he's always licking, so I know I'm keeping him healthier!

    I recycle as many items as I can, use "green" bags for shopping, and vinegar and baking soda for cleaning in the kitchen. Thanks for the info - always looking for new ways to extend my "eco-friendly" ways!!

    I reuse plastic bags as trash bags, and we have tried to cut back on purchasing plastic water bottles.

    My favorite "go green" thing that I do is composting our vegetable and fruit scraps. We also grow a garden.

Spring Giveaway!

First off I want to thank Kim over at Life As I Know I t for becoming my 100 th follower! I love her blog and just know we would hang out all the time if she didn't live across the country. I am completely humbled that 100 people actually want to read what I have to say! Blogging has opened up a whole new world of friendships to me and I would probably not have kept doing it if it was not for all of you! Okay, now it's down to the good stuff. I am *dying* for a little spring around here. We had a few days of warmth and sunshine, but for the past three days it has been raining...again....I heard they have even mobilized our National Guard in case the rivers decide to really get out of hand...you know more than the crazy flooding they've already been doing. Anyways, one of my favorite things to do to get ready for spring is to paint my nails a fun, bright color. So today I am giving away these beauties. One lucky reader will win all four of these fabulous colors! I g...

$50 CSN Giveaway!!

As you all know, I have raved about my love of CSN stores several times before.  They have a huge selection of products and are constantly adding new stores to their website.  My family definitely headed over there to do some of our Christmas shopping, and I was just perusing their selection of flat panel TV stands.      It's one thing, however, for me to tell you how great CSN is.  But it's another for you to experience it yourself.  That is why I am so excited to be sponsoring a $50 gift certificate giveaway to CSN to one of my readers!!!  It's the perfect opportunity to order yourself something you didn't receive for Christmas, or check out their fitness equipment to help with your new year's resolution! Entering is simple...just leave a comment telling me what your new year's resolution is {you can also just say you aren't making any this year if that's the case!}  The giveaway will be open until January 7th 10:00 pm est.
