HandSan Review

The makers of Bio Green Crystals, National Bio+Green Sciences, have introduces the first-ever alcohol-free, organic hand cleanser made solely from purified water and vitamins with no artificial preservatives. HandSan like all of Bio Green products is environmentally friendly and 100% safe for people, pets and the planet.

This hand cleanser is alcohol free so it doesn't dry out your hands, in fact it actually provides anti-oxidants and vitamin K-2 directly to your skin and bones. It is also effective at killing those pesky germs that make us sick. Perfect for this time of the year when colds are rampant. Just a couple of spritzes on your hands will dry quickly and clean your hands thoroughly. What I especially like about this hand cleanser is it is waterless. There is no need for water to cleanse your hands meaning you can use it virtually anywhere. It's a great product to keep on hand in your car or purse. The 60 ml size bottle is just the right size to carry around and can be used for up to 150 applications. Priced at just $5.99 this is a definite steal.

You can purchase Handsan and other Bio Green products online or in various pharmacies and superstores near you.

Update on Sleep Therapy System

I am loving my Sleep Therapy System and I hope all of you are too! My son and daughter are sleeping better and so are my husband and I. We did have the unfortunate chance of receiving one of the very few that had a faulty memory card in it. I went to turn it on one day and it didn't work.
So I emailed the company telling them the problem and they got back to me right away. They were aware of the problem and they knew how they were going to fix it.

Adaptive Sound Technologies, Inc. said they purchased some bad components for a batch of machines and although the failure rate was low there were a few units that had problems. I just happened to be one of the lucky ones. They have since changed vendors and fixed the problem.

I was very impressed with the customer service that Adaptive Sound Technologies, Inc. provides for their customers. They were very quick and professional. They addressed the problem right away and were able to get a replacement unit out immediatly. This is a company I will be recommending to all my friends and I hope you will too.

Remember if you are interested in getting your own Sound+Sleep System you can visit their website.

Bottle Buddy Review

Bottle Buddy

Recently I was given the opportunity to review the Bottle Buddy. To be honest I wasn't sure about the Bottle Buddy at first. The Bottle Buddy is suppose to dispense formula evenly each time so that you are not wasting formula or over feeding your baby. This sounds like a pretty simple task and something I can do on my own, most of the time, but after trying the Bottle Buddy out I had a change of heart.

The nice thing about the Bottle Buddy is that it doesn't make mistakes and it doesn't lose count. As a busy mom those are two things I often do. Some mornings I have so much going on, packing my daughters lunch, getting breakfast made and picking out clothes that it's nice to have one extra hand and one less thing to worry about. Or how about at 1 in the morning when your son is crying because he's teething and nothing will get him to go back to sleep. Your half asleep and you just want to get back to bed. The Bottle Buddy is a lifesaver at these times. I know that this all sounds a little silly but it really does help. I get distracted so much running from one task to the next while both my children are demanding my attention, that I am bound to make mistakes. It's nice to know that the Bottle Buddy is helping me make one less mistake by not over or under feeding my child. I don't even have to think about it! With the Bottle Buddy my little guy is getting the same amount of formula each time.

The other nice thing about the Bottle Buddy is that is it compatible with most formula brands. I can understand that you might think that it's just another thing on your kitchen counter but I know that as soon as you start using it you will fall in love with it. Why not make life a little easier on your self?

If you are interested in getting your own Bottle Buddy you can find it on Amazon.com.

Naturally Fresh Deodorant Crystal Products Review

Naturally Fresh Deodorant is the number one recommended deodorant by doctors including oncologists, dermatologists and allergists. Our products are the ideal deodorant choice for people allergic to or irritated by conventional deodorants, people battling cancer, and people who are seeking a healthy lifestyle.

I try very hard to use natural products that are free of chemicals and toxins that may be harmful to my family's health and bodies. Several years ago after learning about aluminum chemicals and parabens in antiperspirants that may be a health risk I decided to search for an alternative. Some studies have even linked these chemicals to breast cancer. My husband also has very sensitive skin and many antiperspirants cause irritation to his skin so this was just another reason to try to find a natural alternative.

Most people think antiperspirants and deodorants are the same thing, but they are not. Deodorants are considered a cosmetic product while antiperspirants are regulated by the FDA because they are classified as a drug due to the effect they have on the body. Antiperspirants work by clogging, closing, or blocking the pores with powerful aluminum chemicals so that they can not release sweat. Deodorants work by neutralizing the smell of the sweat and by antiseptic action against bacteria. Deodorants are preferable because they don’t interfere with sweating, a natural cooling process.

While on my search to find a better alternative I tried the few brands that were available at my local drugstore and I was very disappointed. After all the reason we wear deodorant is to smell fresh and diminish our natural body order that happens when we perspire. None of these products did the trick. Fortunately I was recently given the opportunity to try Naturally Fresh Deodorant Crystal products and was able to find a product that worked.

The Naturally Fresh Deodorant Crystals are made of mineral salts which are pure and natural, fragrance free, non-staining and provide up to 24-hour, hypoallergenic protection against body and foot odor. Being in salt, and not in metal form, the crystal deodorant contains no harmful aluminums that can clog pores. Unlike antiperspirants, mineral salts allow the natural process of perspiration, rather than trying to mask your bodily smells.

Are you wondering how these mineral salts work if they do not cover up odor? Read more about this online.

Naturally Fresh Deodorant Crystal Roll-On

I have never used a roll on deodorant before and I wasn't sure if I would like it or not but this stuff went on smooth and left the skin under my arms feeling soft and moisturized. It was a little wet at first but quickly absorbed into the skin and left me feeling fresh pretty much all day. I was very impressed with this deodorant. It has a light clean scent, nothing over powering. I think I finally found the alternative I was looking for.

I was also given a Naturally Fresh Deodorant Crystal Spray Mist to review. I wasn't as impressed with this product. It seemed to work initially but after a couple of hours I was reaching for my usual deodorant. My husband also tried it and had the same experience. I wonder if it just depends on a persons body chemistry. This may work for some and not for others.

One more product I was given to try was the Moiststic Natural Lip Protection. I love lip balm so I was happy to see this little extra. This is a great lip balm that quickly leaves dry chapped lips moisturized. I should know living in Alaska in the winter can be pretty harsh on my lips and this stuff had my lips feeling better almost instantly. It contains tea tree oil which is known for it's healing properties and also contains vitamin E to leave your lips smooth. I also love the light peppermint scent.

Naturally Fresh Deodorant Crystal products come in several varieties and scents. All products are completely free from Parabens, propylene Glycol, Phthalates, and harmful aluminum metals. You can find them online or in several stores including Walmart.

TUMMY YUMMIES

It's nice to make something easy on week nights after a long day at work. The kids can even help with these ones. All you will need is some crescent rolls, pizza sauce and pizza toppings.

Roll out the crescent rolls pinching the seams together. Make the pizza pies the size you want. Take pizza sauce and spread on the crescent roll. Add cheese and your pizza toppings.

Add another crescent roll on top and pinch the sides together. I also added two little slits at the top. Then follow instruction on the crescent roll package. Make sure that you watch them so that you don't over cook them. Ours got a little golden but they were still yummy!

Also try and make it with leftover stew, macaroni and hot dogs, or try stuffing them with pie filling.

Your kids will love making them and have even more fun eating them.

ePillow Review

When Renee Anderson co-owner of Veyl Products deigned the ePillow she knew what she was doing. This has got to be one of the best iPad accessories out there!

"ePillow™ is the perfect solution for using your iPad or Touch Screen Tablet in comfort and style. It's unique patented design provides comfortable support while reading, watching movies, browsing the web, and using the keyboard."

This Christmas my husband surprised me with an iPad 2 and when I received an email asking if I would like to review the ePillow, well the timing couldn't have been more perfect. I wasn't sure what to expect at first. I checked out the ePillow online and thought it looked like a pretty neat idea. I loved the variety of color and fabric choices available. I immediately decided I would choose the red and black one (pictured above) to match the decor in our bedroom. I figured if it didn't work for my iPad I could use it as pillow to rest my head on.

When I finally received my ePillow the first thing I liked was the look of it.

18″x11″ Red Suede with Black synthetic leather wedge, 3″ pocket on front for headphones or microfiber cloth. 

I sat on the couch propped my iPad into the wedge and immediately realized what a fabulous idea this was. It is so comfy and keeps your tablet at the perfect level, I really do use it all the time. Recently my husband and I have gotten hooked to a TV show on Netflix so every night we put my ePillow between us on the bed, prop my iPad on it and we can comfortably lay down and watch our show.  Even better, I am also an avid reader and the ePillow works perfectly for propping up my book while I read. My husband even commented that it's a good thing I received one of these because it is getting so much use.

The ePillow will accommodate an Acer Iconia A500, Android ePad, Android Toughbook, Apple iPad and iPad 2, HP Touchpad, HTC Flyer Android, LG Iconia A 500, LG Optimus, Motorola Xoom, Samsung Galaxy 10 and various other tablet PCs on the market today as well as hard copy books.

Go order your ePillow online now, it's well worth the $29.95 price.
