Clementine Art Review & 3 Giveaways!

By ·

CONTEST IS OVER! CONGRATS TO Benita G. COMMENT #60, Jennifer C. COMMENT #78 AND Marci COMMENT #14!!!

Natural. Fresh. Real.

 

That would describe Clementine Art products. Clementine Art products are all natural, safe, non-toxic and Environmentally friendly. Their fresh and natural art supplies support the healthy development of your child. So, when I found out about them, I had to let my kids try them out!

Clementine Art Review

We received the Natural Paint set. It is a set of six paints that are colored with Mayan mineral Earth pigments. They are long lasting, washable (which is a huge plus!) and natural. When the box came in the mail, my kids were so excited to give them a try! I set up a little bench outside on the lawn, grabbed some paper, brushes and a little thing of water and we were on our way to a fun filled, art inspired afternoon with our new Clementine Art natural paint!

Clementine Art Review

I love that these paints are natural, a big thing when it comes to little kids, because of the safety issues with other paints. My kids had an absolute blast with these paints. First they painted the papers, and mixed all the colors together and then they painted rocks and then they painted… ME! Oh, that was fun.. haha! I let them paint my arms, then quickly washed it off. Even though it is all natural, I did not want it on my skin, and yes, it rinsed right off! It got on my sons shirt and daughters shorts and it came out of my daughters shorts but not so much in my sons shirt. But that is OK, it was an old tshirt anyways :)

Clementine Art Natural Paint Review

The paints are long gone now, but boy were they fun. They lasted about two painting sessions with my little ones, but they are little and love to use every last drop of anything fun and colorful. For older children, this would have lasted a lot longer. They are nice sized jars of paint and have a lot of paint in them. They are a great price too, at only $13.99 for the set. The only thing I wish they had come with was a paint brush or two.

The NeverWet Plunger Review & A Giveaway!

By ·

CONTEST IS OVER! CONGRATS TO TARA COMMENT #317!!!

So, if you are like me, or many people I know, plungers kind of gross me out. Seriously, who wants to store a discusting, rancid, toilet paper clinging, poo poo caked, germ infested plunger in their bathroom? YUCK! I have had the hardest time trying to figure out what to do with it, so that it is put away somewhere in the bathroom, where others can’t see it, and in what to put it in! Ugh. With my old plungers I would always store under the bathroom sink in the cabinet and have it in a little plastic container (that it would come with). But that little plastic container needs to be bleached alot and is still just GROSS.

 

Then I found out about another toilet plunger. One that is so unique and actually kind of ‘neat’ to use! Not only does it NOT stay wet and poopy, but it actually comes out of the toilet water DRY. Yes, DRY. I did not believe it, so that is why I HAD to try it. I received the NeverWet Plunger and used it right away (nope, did not have a plugged toilet, just wanted to try it out :) ). Put it right into that toilet water and pulled it out and NOTHING. Not even a drip of water on that plunger! VERY impressed! No more sickening toilet water trails to the container it gets stored in. Very excited about this, can’t you tell?

NeverWet Plunger RIGHT AFTER it was in the water:

NeverWet Plunger Review

Amazing, right?!

Now, this plunger is unique, so it must be taken care of a little bit more special :) One important detail to give the plunger longevity and durability is NOT to clean it.  Soaps and cleaner can damage the coating.  The feature that is cool is it never needs cleaned because it cleans itself.   If you feel there is a need to clean it rinse it in water, it is that simple. Can, where the heck has this plunger been? I needed this YEARS ago!! Anything that makes my life easier, is something I want in my home.

“There are competitors out there, not with plungers, but with coatings.   The difference between the competitors coatings and theirs is the fact that they have established durability.  Other coatings have very limited life cycles and need repeated applications after use”

You MUST watch this youtube video about the NeverWet Plunger, it is really an eyeopener!

A Bit About The NeverWet Plunger (taken from their site):

  • Regularly $39.95 – Buy it HERE for a limited time only $19.95!
  • NeverWet™ technology makes this the cleanest plunger you’ll ever own
  • Both the handle and rubber head of the Clear-n-Clean plunger are coated with our unique NeverWet™ coating
  • Stays dry, even when immersed in water
  • Coated areas are Bacteria Resistant, even after use
  • Handle is made of non-porous plastic
  • Dual lip plunger seal on plunger head
  • Designed to properly fit virtually all toilets, and is especially useful on low water flow toilets
  • Flexible rubber head for optimum plunging performance
What are the advantages of the Clear-N-Clean plunger?

  • Stays Dry –  It’s the latest in nanotechnology – NeverWet™ coating keeps the plunger dry when submerged in water, even after hundreds of uses! There’s nothing like it. Water rolls right off.
  • Bacteria Resistant — Thousands of germs live on ordinary plungers, and plunger caddies and canisters are even worse, but the Clear-n-Clean plunger with NeverWet™ technology is bacteria resistant. Super hydrophobic!

So as you can see, this plunger is something great. I just wish I had thought of this! Maybe now, the NeverWet plunger can add a scent on it, like the scented odor blocking garbage bags, and I will be one VERY happy Mama :)

Remove Eye Makeup with Ease the Non-Toxic Way & Giveaway!

By ·

CONTEST IS OVER! CONGRATS TO tina reynolds COMMENT #40!!!

I absolutely love wearing eye makeup. I use it all, the eyeliner, eyeshadow, primer and mascara, every day!! At night, I HATE taking it off. It never completely comes off and I am left looking like a racoon! I have tried a few eye makeup removers and for the most part have liked them, it is just going to the store and getting them again that I am lazy about!

I recently got to try an eye makeup remover that is non-toxic. They are Ava Anderson Non-Toxic Eye Makeup Remover Pads. It comes in a plastic container with a lid. They are little pads and I have to use a pad for each eye (yes, I wear alot of DARK eye makeup ). Normally I am sure one could get away with using just one pad, but not me :) The first thing I noticed about these pads is that they are pleasantly scented. I am not sure if they are suppose to be scented, but they are and very very lightly scented. When I used them, they did make the skin around my eyes feel irritated. As soon as I ran water over them, it disappeared though. It did completely take off my eye makeup with just a few swipes, which I was very impressed with.

All in all? They kinda hurt the skin around my eyes. It was not a lasting effect though and only happened right as I was using them. When I rinsed it off, it was fine. They take off eye makeup really good too. I like them, I do. But I wish they were less irritating to my skin.

About Ava Anderson Non-Toxic Eye Makeup Remover Pads (taken out of the press release):

Love long lasting, bullet-proof eye liners, mascaras, and shadows? Not so much the time and energy spent trying to take it off before bed at night? No need to worry – introducing Ava Anderson Non-Toxic Eye Makeup Remover Pads. These completely non-toxic single-use remover pads use a combination of flower extracts to gently wipe away eye makeup with ease. Simply wipe the eye area and watch the makeup disappear! The plus: there’s no alcohol to dry the delicate skin around the eyes. ($14.95 avaandersonnontoxic.com)

Ava Anderson Non-Toxic was created by 16 year-old Ava Anderson who at age 14 saw a news report on a study about hazardous chemicals found in the bloodstream of teens that were believed to have been from ingredients commonly found in cosmetics and skincare products and wanted to do something about it! The Ava Anderson Non-Toxic 6 piece skincare line includes a cleanser, toner, exfoliator, moisturizer, lip scrub, and eye makeup remover pads.

Ava Anderson has other great non-toxic products too! Like makeup and other goodies! Ava Anderson also has a business opportunity! You can check that out HERE!

Piggy Paint Review & Coupon Code!

By ·

Piggy Paint

I was recently contacted to review Piggy Paint, a safe nail polish for kids! I was very excited to review for them, because I like to paint my daughters toe nails, but was always hesitant to do so because I was not sure how “safe” it would be for her.

Piggy Paint

We received a Piggy Paint in Candy-Coated. It is a really pretty lavender color. I painted my toes as well as my daughters toes (piggies :) ) and her nails. Of course my son was pouting in the corner, so I had to do his piggies too! Sigh! At least the weather is getting a bit chillier, so my son will be wearing socks and shoes now, LOL! I love how there is absolutely no smell! I love how it goes on smoothly and dries fairly quickly. I love that it is as natural as mud! We also received the nail polish remover. When I opened it I was so shocked that it has NO SMELL! No harmful fumes! Wow, I am very impressed and even more so impressed by the way it takes off nail polish! So easy and works just as well as the smelly nail polish removers I have been using for years. I am sold! How wonderful! Safe for us and safe for our environment, you can’t go wrong!

About Piggy Paint (taken off their site):

Piggy Paint

My name is Melanie Hurley, founder of Piggy Paint™. I am a stay-at-home mom with two very fancy little girls, ages 2 and 4, who love to have their fingernails painted. I’ve always hated the thought of my kiddos putting their hands in their mouths after I painted their nails with traditional kid polishes. Not only did the ingestion of the chemicals worry me, but the smell nearly left me light-headed after painting two sets of fingernails and toenails.

One day while we were painting nails over a foam plate, my daughter dropped a glob of her solvent-based polish onto the plate. Shortly after, the paint began to bubble and “ate” through the plate. I looked in dismay at the hole in the plate and decided to test all of her other “kid” polishes on the foam. Within minutes, ALL of the solvent-based polishes began to bubble and eventually left big holes in the plate. From that day on, I decided that any flammable substance that could eat through foam was unacceptable for my children’s fingernails, which would inevitably end up in their mouths.

My quest was on, and Piggy Paint™ was born. As you may have guessed, our polish is NOT flammable and sits beautifully on the unaffected foam. We hope you enjoy this water-based polish that is specially formulated of natural ingredients. Finally, a kid-friendly polish without the accompanying drawbacks of traditional polishes. It is free of formaldehyde, toluene, phthalates, biphenyl A, ethyl acetate and acetone… and made in the USA!
