Christina's Voice:
Enviro-log is a earth friendly fire wood it is made from 100% recycled wax cardboard. Safe for fireplaces,woodstoves, chiminease and campfires. We used ours as a campfire and let my little girl roast her first mashmellow over it. I dont know if she loved just playing in the fire more or actually eating the marshmellows. I love the fact that it produces more heat than your normal wood and it burns cleaner then wood to. Easy to light, which you just light the bag and watch it go.. we added more wood to our pile, but you dont have to with this. Burns up to 3 hours per log, which i didn't time because we was having so much fun. 

Thanks to Enviro-Log one lucky winner can win " A case of size - 5lb fire logs." See below for low entries and details <3 Thank you

Product review/ Giveaway Bluapple

 How does Bluapple work?
 
Ethylene gas is given off by all living plants, especially by fruits, vegetables and flowers, and acts as a chemical signal to speed up the ripening process.  The release of this gas is thought to be a mechanism by which plants promote uniform ripening or opening, etc.  In nature, the uniformity of these events attracts the maximum number of pollinators or seed disseminators, such as birds and insects. At home, however, when you store your fruits and vegetables in the refrigerator, ethylene gas builds up. As a result the ripening process is accelerated too quickly.  This is a major reason we all throw out so much spoiled produce!

The Bluapple is based on technology that has been used in ships, warehouses and trucks for many years to absorb and neutralize ethylene gas buildup.  The Bluapple does not release any gas or chemical, but only absorbs, constantly removing this harmful gas from your produce storage area.  The Bluapple is not a "magic" pill, but a scientific and essential part of keeping produce fresh.  When produce was cheap, no one cared, but as prices have risen, it became apparent that a very beneficial product for the home could make a huge difference.

There are three key elements to long produce life: a) temperature - keeping produce cold; b) humidity - using vented plastic bags to keep a moist, but not wet environment; c) ethylene gas management - using the Bluapple.  Disruption of any one of these elements will cause premature spoilage.

It may interest you to know that we provide a money back guarantee, which we are proud to honor.  After selling many hundreds of thousands of Bluapples, we have processed only about 20 refund requests, to each of whom I have written a letter.

The Bluapple is a proven, science-based technology that we have adapted for use in the home.  With a single gourmet apple costing $1.25 these days, our produce is an investment worth protecting.  It is our view that the Bluapple is essentially FREE.  Users easily recover the purchase price in savings within a few weeks, and the Bluapple continues to deliver value for many months thereafter.

 Christina's Voice:

When I first received this product to review i actually thought it was one of those products that you actually put the fruit in, but i was thinking this is way to small. I started to read the directs and noticed that you don't put the fruit in the apple you actually just set the Blueapple right next to it.rather it be in the fridge or next to the fruit bowl. This Bluapple can save you 600 or more a year depending on how much you buy fruit and just throw it away.This product comes with these refreshing packs that absorbs the toxin( ethylene gas ) from the fruit. They last up to 3months.

• Retail value $9.95 for a two pack Buy now
• Bluapple is more or less available nationally at retail locations such as Whole Foods Markets, Giant Foods, Stop & Shop, and many others.

Review/Giveaway Arnicare arnica gel

It is found on the moist, grassy upland meadows in the hills and mountains of northern and central Europe and Siberia. It is also found sparsely in the northwestern United States. More common names for Arnica are Mountain daisy, Leopard’s bane and Mountain tobacco.

It also works to reduce swelling and discoloration of bruises.

This makes Arnicare Gel safe for the whole family.

Review/Giveaway: Probiotic cleaning revolution that is Natural House!

Why is it a "revolution?" Because Natural House probiotic cleaning products brings you a revolutionary, new method of cleaning the most dirty areas of your home. Utilizing non-toxic, probiotic cleaning agents, Natural House products are strong enough for commercial clean-up, yet safe and gentle for all of the members of your Natural House.

Here's a little more info about why our all-natural cleaning products are superior to those currently on the market!

• Our products use an eco-friendly cleaning method of probiotics that create a beneficial, odor eating ecosystem to naturally drive out and digest odors at their source.
• Natural House's plant-based ingredients are eco-friendly, non-toxic and biodegradable to naturally fight the toughest problems you face in your house.
• Our products, Sinky and Flushy even break down and digest fats, oil, grease, and solid waste to ensure your disposal, pipes, drain lines or septic tank run smoothly.
• Our cleaners contain good probiotics which continue to scour, clean, consume odors, grime, grease, and germs, and they continue to do so until your next weekly treatment!
• We earned the coveted Retailers’ Choice Award” at the 2011 National Hardware Show!

So how exactly does probiotic household cleaners work?

• The surfaces in your house are like a garden. If you don’t seed with good plants, weeds will grow. You have the same choice with your household surfaces: sanitize for a moment with harsh chemicals leaving your surface open to recontamination or seed with probiotics to continuously weed out the bad micro-organisms.
• Traditional cleaners “clean” a surface for a moment in time; the second the rag is finished wiping the surface, that surface is almost instantly polluted once again with ambient dust, dirt, and micro-organisms.
• Natural House probiotics creates mini-ecosystem on a microbial level that produces enzymes which break down odors, dirt, fats, oil, grease, food scraps, waste and toilet paper products on a continuous basis between applications. This creates a natural, clean, balanced environment that is safe for even the most sensitive members of your natural house.
• The action is in the foam! When using your Natural House products be sure and let it foam first to release the cleaning agents before going to the next step on the package directions.

The short and skinny of it is this... our natural probiotic cleaners keep on cleaning long after you've stopped!

Christina's Voice:

When using product that is non toxic is so important to me now, that i have kids. Natural House products are a way to go. When using the Natural House cleaning products i was amazed on how well they really worked and made scrubbing alot easier. When using the Flushy product, which of course is for the toliet i just droped it in  and the probiotic packet started foaming you let it do its work for about 5-10 seconds, then i scrubbed the inside of the toliet and flushed. Once you flush its suppose to clean the pipes and septic tank as well. Oh, by the way probiotic consuming odors, waste and toliet paper =)

The Sinky from Natural House is for the sink of course.This is about the same way that you use this product, only thing different is you turn on the hot water for about 5-10 seconds watch sinky;s foaming actiongo to work. If you have a diposal turn that on for at least 1-3 seconds.

Now trashy from Natural House is a deidorizer and scrubber, which comes in a  4oz spray bottle that last up to 30 days. You can spray this in your trash can let air dry which while its drying it will dissolve odors and grime and then once it is dry you wipe the bottom of the trash can before inserting a new bag. that easy.By the way the smell is wonderful it smells like wintergreen =)

Christina's voice:
I got three samples kinda like this in the mail. All three of mine are Hard rock. The scents i recieved are Motley clean, earth wind &orchid and watermelon. Of course my favorite scent was watermelon but it wasn't as strong as i thought being hard rock. but you could smell the watermelon. Each sample can do up to 2/4 loads. You can either let it soak or wash. if you let it soak need to approximately be about 30-60 mins long to make sure it gets all the build up. but if you was u add the deterfent and do a hot wash use about 2-3 tbsp per load. This product really does work on getting those build up stains out.

Christina's Voice:
I used my Oxygen Bleach for pre-treating my son's bibs. They get so nasty from baby food, and spit up. It didn't take that much to pre-treat it and i let it soak for a couple of hours.Which i don't think it has to take that long but i did because i had the time to do so. comes with a little scooper inside the container to make it easier to measure and get out of the container.
