More and more people are starting to become more green friendly and for those of you who are,  you know how important it is.  For those of you who have not yet been introduced to Conscious Box let me be the first to introduce you to them and hopefully get you a little interested in becoming more Eco-friendly!  Conscious Box offers a monthly subscription service to receive one Conscious Box per month.  

What exactly is a Conscious Box you may be wondering.  A Conscious Box is a box filled with product samples and coupons, which allows you to try Eco-Friendly brands that you may have never tried or not yet been introduced to.  The neat thing about Conscious Box is you can find some really cool brands that you would have never even known about if it weren't for Conscious Box.  This is the third box I have received so far and I must say I have found many great brands/products that have now become a staple in my household!  

Each box features a different theme,  so for instance for February I received the "Valentine's Day" themed box.  As always Conscious Box didn't dissapoint,  it was packed full of a lovely selection of goodies and even included some adult goodies!  I know your dieing to find out what was inside so take a look below to find out.

 I must say I really really enjoyed this box and absolutely loved the theme.  I really liked the entire box but I did have some favorites.  The Badger Lip Tint & Shimmer smelled a lot like chocolate and left my lips with just the perfect amount of tint and shimmer.  The Himala Salt contains pure pink Himalayan sea salt and actually contains pink!  Dr. Cleangreen's Handy Essentials Hand Instant Purifier smells and works great.  My children were recently sick so my husband and I frequently used it on our hands and guess what,  we didn't get sick!  I also really liked the Bloomin heart shaped seed paper which when planted sprouts wildflowers,  how cool is that!

2011 Holiday Gift Guide Day 11 - Green Toys

What if there was a site that offered toys that were not only 100% made in the United States,  but also made out of recycled milk jugs. Well guess what there is and they by the name of "Green Toys".  It's hard to believe that such quality toys could come from recycled milk carton's but it's true.  In fact,  it's the main ingredient that they use to make thier toys.    Because they they are made from recycled milk cartons,  it saves energy and reduces greenhouse gas emissions.  Besides not only does Green Toys focus on green toys they also focus on enviromentally safe packaging,  as they come packaged in 100% recyclable packaging. 

Green Toys very kindly provided me with two exciting toys to review with my boys and one to review with my nieces.  Their current selection of toys includes 26 classic toys that any child would be sure to love including Blocks,  Sand Play Sets.  Chef Set,  and many other fun and entertaining toys. 

The first toy we reviewed was the Green Toys™ Flatbed Truck & Race Car .  Before I ever received it I knew my kids would love it because what little boy doesnt love race cars!  From my one year old to my seven year old,  they all enjoyed it.   It provided them with hours of imaginative play.  This set includes a blueFlatbed truck with a bright red race car.  The flatbed can actually be tilted up to allow the race car to roll off. 

Secondly my children tried out the Green Toys™ Dump Truck for boys.  This toy is perfect for playing in the dirt or sand box,  which makes it the perfect toy to take to the park for lots of fun outdoor play.  Besides using it as toy I think it has a lot of potential for party use too.  For instance this toy would make  a perfect use for a dumptruck cake or could be used as decoration to store party favors in.  Whatever way you use it I am sure your children will enjoy it just as much as mine has!

Last,  but not least on the list is the Green Toys™ Pink Dump Truck for girls. I recieved this item to review with my nieces,  which was a nice change since most the items I review with my boys,  so it was nice to be able to receive a pink colored toy.  It may be colored pretty and pink but your little girl can still get down and dirty in this fun dump truck for girls. No matter if she fills it up with dolls or rocks,  she is sure to have a lot of fun with this enjoyable toy.

BUY IT: You can purchase a Green Toys™ Flatbed Truck & Race Car for $32.99.
 You can purchase the Green Toys™ Dump Truck or Green Toys™ Pink Dump Truck for $27.99 each.

Natural House Giveaway *CLOSED*

Allow me to introduce you to the newest probiotic cleaning products,  which bring you a revolutionary new way of cleaning some of the most dirtiest areas in your home.  Natural House are non toxic,  yet they are tough enough to work on tough commercial clean ups.  I love the fact that they are safe for our entire family including our babies!  I don't have to worry about their sensitive skin absorbing any harsh , or unfriendly chemicals.  They best thing about them is they continue cleaning long after you have used them, unlike regular cleaners that only clean them for a moment in time.

 This wonderful company was started by the Powers family who have twins,  a pet cat,  and two pet dogs.  They set out to provide a safe household for their children and pets free of harsh chemicals where they can play without having to worry.  They succeeded in their mission by coming out with phosphate/APE-Free,  Eco-friendly,  non-toxic and biodegradable products called Natural House.  Their Eco-friendly line of cleaning products currently consist of three products including Trashy,  Sinky,  and Flushy.  Now,  I know you gotta love the names of these products,  I sure do! 

Natural House was kind enough to send me their entire line of products,  which make a perfect fit in my house because I have two little ones aged two and under.  I was especially excited about using the Trashy because both of our babies are still in diapers and they can get a little bit smelly at times.  I used the cute little squirt bottle to spray our trash with and a few hours later I noticed that the horrible smell had gone away.  This is because the probiotics went to work and removed the odors.  They also help consume grease and food scraps,  just spray it in your trash can and wallah - you have a noticeably better smelling trash can within no time! 

The probiotics continue working until the next weekly treatment so it only has to be done once weekly.  You can use it in your indoor trash,  outdoor trash,  or even in your diaper pail.   A 4 oz spray bottle of Trashy is good for about a months use.  I love the scent because I it has a nice minty Wintergreen scent,  which reminds me a lot of wintergreen gum.   This product should be kept out of the reach of children and stored in a cool,  dry place.

I also received Flushy,  a toilet bowel cleaner + drain & septic treatment which also includes natural probiotic action.  I tossed one in my toilet and watched it foam up for about 5-10 seconds before scrubbing my toilet with a toilet brush.  After that I flushed it and that was that!  After flushing it,  the probiotics will continue to work as the travel through your pipes and septic.  I was even kind enough to clean my husbands toilet too(we have separate bathrooms).  Flushy naturally digests odors leaving a nice clean minty scent in both of our bathrooms.

Last.   but not least it was time to give Sinky a try.  Sinky just like Flushy, came with four water soluble packets which provides a months supply.  Sinky's natural probiotic action helps digest odors,  and scours pipe build-up.  It has an appealing fresh citrus scent that you will be able to notice after using.  I simply tossed a packet into my drain,  turned the hot water on for 3 seconds( because I have a disposal) If you have a regular sink turn it on for 5-10 seconds.  That's it, sit back and watch it's foaming action go to work!  You will have to do this every week,  so the pack contains enough for one months use.  It will help break down grease and food scraps,  to help prevent against clogs and slow drains. 

BUY IT:  You can purchase Sinky, Trashy,  or Flushy for only $4.99 each.  So basically for less than $15.00 you can get a month supply of all three products,  now if that's not a deal I don't know what is!  You can purchase it online at www.naturalhouse.com. or on Amazon.com

One of the greatest things about blissmobox is that it saves you a bunch of money.  Matter of fact,  each box has a value of atleast $30,  sometimes much more!  Besides that,  you will be able to find the best products for your family,  bodies,  community,  environment,  and you will be introduced to exciting new brands that you may not have tried,  had you not purchased a blissmobox.   Some of the awesome brands that you will find throughout blissmoboxes are: Method,  Numi Organic Tea,  Yes to Carrots,  Sambazon,  and Kaia Foods. 

So,  I bet your wondering what I received in my box, right?  Well,  here's a sneak peak into my box...

I received a Morning BLISS blissmo box which contained the following items:

* St. Claires Organic Mints - These small mints were just the right size and contained just the right amount of minty flavor.  My husband used them to freshen his breath while at work.

* LUNA Blueberry Bliss Nutrition Bar - This was super yummy and definitely one of my favorites out of the entire box.  I shared it with both of my babies and my two year old thought it was a candy bar.  What a great way to get them to eat healthy!  It also makes a great pick me up in the morning on your way to work.

* LUNA Toasted Nuts 'n Cranberry Nutrition Bar - This wholesome bar tasted nutty and fruity.  I also shared it with my youngest sons and they enjoyed it as well.  It contains Calcium,  Folic Acid,  Protein and Fiber.

* Raw Walnut Butter with Cashews - It provides a great source of Omega-3 and Omega-6.  It is free of Peanuts,  Gluten, Dairy, Cholesterol,  or GMO's and it is 100% organic.  I used it just like I would use regular peanutbutter by spreading it on a piece of bread,  spread jelly on the other and gave it to my son to eat for lunch.  He never knew the difference and ate it just like he would any other peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

*Preserve Toothpicks - After eating the LUNA bar I used one of these toothpicks to pick my tooth.  They are cinnamint flavored which tastes great!  They came packaged in a handy tube that fits perfectly in my purse.

* Preserve Toothbrush - This green toothbrush is made out of recycled yogurt cups,  how awesome is that!  It's curved handle helps clean hard to reach places.

* Purely Elizabeth. - Gluten Free,  Vegan,  Free of Refined Sugar!  This Cranberry Pecan Granola Cereal is a great and healthy way to start your morning!  My kids are huge cereal lovers,  so this is so much better for them than their normal sugar downed cereal.

*Grounds for Change - Mexico "Cafe Femenino"is a medium roast ground coffee.  Every single bean that they roast is Fair Trade Certified,  CarbonFree Certified and Shade Grown.  This is the only item I haven't had a chance to sample yet but I'm definitely looking forward to trying it!

* Slice of Life - I saved the best for last!  These adult gummy vitamins are super soft and taste fruity - almost like a regular gummy would taste!  After all,  gummies aren't just for kids,  they're for adults too!

 

BUY IT:  Each month you will be charged $19 a box plus $3 shipping fees.

Pantzies For Your Panties

I recently stumbled upon an interesting site called Hy Jean Inc.  They sell a product called Pantzies.  At first glance i was unsure what they were.  After reading more about them i gathered that they are fancy panty liners.  They are not just any type of panty liner either!  Besides the fact that they have totally awesome designs in bright colors and styles,  they are also reusable!  Yes...i said it,  reusable!  They can be hand washed in your panties and then line dried which makes them cheaper than regular liners and also eco friendly.   They are sold in a box that contains 16 liners and retail for $7.95 per box.  They use the same jersey knit fabric that can be found in underwear,  bathing suits,  and workout wear.  Pantzies come in 4 fashionable fun prints and are very comfortable and dry quickly.  They have two different type of Pantzies, a thong shaped Pantzie and a Panty shaped Pantzie.  So no matter if you are wear panties or thongs,  they have a shape to fit you!  Another great reason to wear Pantzies is that they are water resistant so you can even wear them while swimming!  The fabric is sanitized because they use a  anti bacterial compound which makes them safe.  They can also be worn sideways in work out wear to avoid panty lines.  So what are you waiting for ladies...visit http://hyjean.com/ and find out more about their products!

*Disclosure- Hy Jean Corp sent me some samples in order for me to do a possible review of their products. In no way did it alter my opinions of their product.  All opinions are one hundred percent honest and true.*
