Ecostore USA REVIEW & GIVEAWAY

It’s no secret that I LOVE green, healthy products for my family and my home and I LOVE trying new green, healthy products out!  So, when a Green company comes knocking on my door (or in my inbox!) and asks me to test out a product and give my thoughts to all my friends (that would be YOU!)…I’m MORE than happy to do so!

Today I’m gonna introduce you to a great green company called ecostore USA….

ecostore NZ was founded more than 15 years ago by Melanie and Malcolm Rands from their home in an eco village in New Zealand.

All of the families that lived in the farm based eco village shared a commitment to organic growing and healthy living, making this an ideal environment in which a young, environmentally conscious business could thrive. Each household in the village was responsible for their own waste water, which quickly highlighted the problems caused by using regular supermarket cleaning products that relied heavily on cheap, petroleum-based, synthetic ingredients.

Faced with the challenge of protecting the pristine rural waterways of the eco village, Malcolm Rands began to research and seek expert help from scientists to develop household cleaning products using plant-based ingredients that would biodegrade safely and quickly. Achieving his goal, he eliminated the need to use toxic chemicals, leaving the eco villages water pure. His goal was more than accomplished as the product line of this home-based business began to grow, and an exciting future began to unfold.

Safe Products

ecostore USA has formulated its products without toxic petrochemicals, phosphates, nitrates, chlorine, ammonia, enzymes, synthetic perfumes, coloring or dyes, optical whiteners/brighteners or chemical preservatives. Instead, ecostore USA uses sustainable ingredients derived from plants and minerals, producing safer products that work equally as effectively as those that are chemical-based. Customers anecdotally have reported that, after using ecostore USA laundry products to wash clothes and linens, children’s eczema and dermatitis have disappeared, while allergies and asthma symptoms have decreased.

ecostore USA guarantees its products:

• are plant- and/or mineral-based and free of nasty chemicals (No nasty chemicals™)

• use safer ingredients from renewable resources

• are formulated with your health in mind

• are safely super-concentrated

• meet the highest environmental standards

• have not been tested on animals

• are GE free (free of genetically-engineered products)

• are packaged in recyclable packaging

Where to find ecostore USA

ecostore USA can be found online at www.ecostoreusa.com AND in exclusively in all 185 Meijer supercenters in five states.You can also connect with this amazing company online on Twitter, Facebook and their Blog.

MY THOUGHTS

I was given the choice of any 2 products ecostore USA has to offer to check out and being the green cleaning product lover that I am, I chose the Auto Dish Powder and Citrus Spray Cleaner.

I’m a real stickler when it comes to my dishes, so I was really checking the glasses and silverware as they came out of the dishwasher after using the  Auto  Dish Powder. (both that seem to come out yucky without a quality product)   They were clean and spotless!  I didn’t notice any food specs, film or streaks on any of the dishes.  They were just as clean as when I used my regular brand.  I loved that it was a powder that you only had to use a little bit of. Less product packaging, means less waste – and that’s a good thing!

The Citrus Spray Cleaner did an equally good job of cleaning off the stove, counter top, refrigerator doors and whatever else I could find to wipe down in the kitchen.  The smell was very light and almost barely noticeable.  There were no worries of using it around the kids or breathing it in while using it.  It wiped away clean and didn’t leave a film or streaks.  Everything “felt” clean after using it.  No sticky residue like you get from some non-green products.

I was VERY pleased with the performance of both of these products.  I would definitely recommend them to you and will be trying more from the ecostore USA line myself!

I would LOVE for you to be able to try them out as well and ecostore USA is giving 1 of you the change to try them out courtesy of their company!!

Build-A-Bear Workshop REVIEW & GIVEAWAY (CLOSED)

CONGRATS TO HEIDI B!!  COMMENT #174

Meet Tinky and Nut.

They are the first Build-A-Bear animals to join our family.  Tinky came to join us for Ella’s 2nd Christmas from her Aunt Kari and Nut on Ella’s 3rd Birthday.  Ella loved going to the Build-A-Bear store at the mall and picking out Nut to join Tinky at our home.  She helped stuff her, put her little “beating” heart in, fluffed her up and dressed her in baby clothes!  She has really enjoyed these two stuffed gals to death.

Now, meet Holly and Hal.  They are the two newest members of our family!

So adorable!  Both dressed for winter and ready to go!

I was so excited to be asked by Build-A-Bear to welcome these adorable moose into our family.  I just knew Ella and Andrew would love them!

We saved them for Christmas morning and put them under the tree from Santa.  You should have seen the look on Ella’s face when she saw the signature boxes sitting there!  She ripped right into them and they’ve been hanging out with Tinky and Nut ever since.

Build-A-Bear Workshop has been named one of the “Best 100 Companies To Work For” and is backed by the Good Housekeeping Seal of approval.  Good to know that you’re supporting a wonderful business when you spend your dollars in one of their many stores!

When you go to a Build-A-Bear store, it’s so much more than just walking into a store and buying a toy…it’s an experience that your child will remember for a long time.  The child-friendly staff welcomes your family to the store and walks you through each step of building your child’s new best friend.  It’s amazing to watch as your child’s face lights up as their new toy is brought to life by stuffing and a little love.

But, don’t worry if you don’t have a Build-A-Bear Workshop near your house…you can order right online!!  They have the same items online as in the store.

Once you take home your new friend, the experience is not over.  You can return to the store at anytime to buy new outfits,  inset new stuffing once your little guy is a little flat from all the hugs, and now you can bring your pal to life  for by visiting buildabearville.com, a fun and safe virtual world!

Can you tell that I’m a BIG fan of Build-A-Bear?  AND I want you to be as well! So….thanks to Build-A-Bear…I’m giving away 1 Holly and 1 Hal to two different readers!  YAY!

I just know that you’re going to fall in love with them! (and I’m positive that your child will as well!)

Want to win?

Here’s the deal:

WIN YOUR VERY OWN BUILD-A-BEAR WORKSHOP’S HOLLY AND HAL

MANDATORY ENTRY
Go to the BUILD-A-BEAR and check out their products.  Come back here and tell me which one you like the best and would like to have!

Leapfrog Leapster2 and Zippity REVIEW & GIVEAWAY (CLOSED)

CONGRATS TO SUSAN COMMENT # 75 – YOU WIN THE LEAPSTER2!!

CONGRATS TO MANDA PEEL COMMENT # 28 – YOU WIN THE ZIPPITY!!

As a mom of 2 small children, my experience with electronic games has been “zero”.  I have not even picked up an electronic game since the Nintendo Gameboy YEARS ago.  So, when Leapfrog contacted me and offered to send the Leapfrog Leapster2 and the Zippity Learning System for my family to try out AND 1 of each to giveaway here at All Things Mamma – I was all game!

LEAPSTER2

First off, the Leapster2 is not your Gameboy, by any stretch.  It has wonderful color graphics, sound that is actually easy to understand, a touch screen and comes with educational, yet FUN games.

From the Leapfrog Website:

“With built-in tutorials and levels that adapt automatically to each child’s pace, the Leapster2 system helps children get practice with school skills.”

“As children play on the go, they can earn rewards, then connect online to explore additional games, activities or the creativity studio. And Leapster2 is the only handheld preschool gaming system that connects to the LeapFrog® Learning Path — a free, online interactive tool that allows parents to receive detailed updates on the skills, games and even questions their child has been exploring.”

So, not only are your children entertained for hours (or not if you don’t let them play until they can’t hold their head up anymore!) but they are learning solid school skills that will take them through preschool into elementary school!  I was amazed at how fast Ella picked up on playing the game and playing it well!  She has learned to determine uppercase letters from lowercase letters, counting, order of events, and responsibility.

We have not even began to explore the online resources, but have set it up.  I am looking forward to checking it all out!

This is definitely a “toy” that you will want to purchase for your child that will give back to them in many ways that you can be proud of!

ZIPPITY LEARNING SYSTEM

The new Zippity Learning system is a fun, interactive game that your children play while hooked up to your TV.  Think of it as a Wii for kids.  Jumping, hopping, running and dancing all while learning are all part of this fun game!

From the Leapster Website:

“The Zippity system comes with eight built-in games featuring the popular Playhouse Disney characters from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, My Friends Tigger & Pooh, Little Einsteins and Handy Manny. All eight built-in learning activities bring the characters to life on your TV through high-quality animations and feature two levels of play for hours of active learning fun.”

“A built-in Learning Path lets parents see the skills their child is exploring as they play, or parents can create a personal LeapFrog® Learning Path online for more in-depth insights and learning ideas.”

While using the interactive bopper and mat, your child can stomp, swing, bop and march while playing along with the onscreen characters.  While there are the 8 built in learning activities, you can also buy additional games and activities to go along with it with your child’s favorite characters such as Disney Princesses and Cars.

The Zippity was enjoyed by all of us!  From my 19 month old who could easily “bop” the bopper or jump up and down like a frog to my husband who was getting down with Goofy’s dance moves!  Definitely a fun, interactive game that will keep your kids moving and grooving!

Would you like to win a Leapster2 or a Zippity?  WELL, YOU ARE IN LUCK!  I have one of each to giveaway! (courtesy of Leapfrog) I will choose two winners by random and will send them either a Leapster2 OR a Zippity!

Here’s the deal:

WIN YOUR VERY OWN LEAPSTER 2 OR ZIPPITY LEARNING SYSTEM

Go Green With Marcal Small Steps! Review & Giveaway (CLOSED)

CONGRATS JESSIE C

As a mom and in-home daycare provider, my life is full of messy hands, runny noses, spills to clean and tushes to wipe. I sometimes feel like my life is over-run with paper products. I make a conscious effort to reduce the amount of paper products I use, but it’s inevitable that it’s a lot some days!

That’s why I was really excited to learn about Marcal Small Steps! Marcal Small Steps is an earth-friendly paper goods company that makes their products from recycled paper NOT trees. For over five decades, Marcal has been saving trees and reducing landfill by making its paper products from recycled paper. Marcal uses paper collected from curbs in residential neighborhoods in cities and towns across America; from the small blue baskets in office buildings, unwanted junk mail, and waste from printers; all in an effort to do something good… to produce something that people need. Marcal uses no chlorine bleach, dyes or fragrances in their products thus creating a hypoallergenic paper product.

Did you know that Americans throw out 210 tons of waste each year and that much of it is paper? Over 40% of the paper that would ordinarily end up in the landfill, can be recycled and Marcal takes advantage of that! Over 200,000 tons of paper is processed by Marcal yearly which produces 12 million cases of paper products!

Marcal was kind enough to send me over a whole case full of their products to try out and report back to all of you on and I have to say, I was impressed! The napkins were soft and absorbent, the towels were able to clean a variety of messes and hold up well and the toilet tissue was…well….great! I was very surprised at how long the toilet tissue lasted. We normally go through a roll in my household in about 2-3 days. The Marcal toilet tissue lasted over a week!

I will definitely buy Marcal Paper products for my family in the future…ONCE we run out of the Marcal products we currently have.  They last much longer than our normal paper products!

Make a step towards going green by entering to win Marcal Small Steps products!

Here’s the deal:

Enter to win  a package full of paper products from Marcal Small Steps!

MANDATORY ENTRY

Visit the Marcal Small Steps website and tell me one thing you learned.

Bringing Books To Life With LeapFrog Tag Junior

Thanks to LeapFrog and Global Influence, I was recently sent the NEW Tag Junior Reading system to try out.  I was more than happy to have been asked to report back to all of you my thoughts!

Having a 3 year old and an 18month old, the Tag Junior is perfect for them both!  Ella loves to sit and “read” books for hours and Andrew loves to look at the pages.  The NEW Tag Junior now allows them both to hear the words and sounds and enjoy songs, interesting sound effects, open-ended questions and amusing sentences.  By touching the same spot in a book, toddlers can hear a different response each time. With the rounded, lightweight frog like appearance, the Book Pal is easily held in their little hands as well.

By easily connecting  the Book Pal to a USB port on our computer we are able to download audio for up to 5 books AND include one of our child’s name to be incorporated into a greeting and farewell!  We can also print activity sheets, such as coloring pages just by going to the LeapFrog Connect site.

As many parents will appreciate, the NEW Tag Junior has  a battery-saving feature and the Book Pal will turn off automatically after a period of inactivity.   We love this feature considering how many batteries we go through around here!

With the ever expanding collection of books, we’ll be able to add to our library at home for many more holidays and birthdays!

Consider the NEW LeapFrog Tag Junior for your toddler ages 2 – 4 for the next Birthday or Christmas!  You’ll be glad you did!

(CLOSED)TJ Maxx & Marshalls: Review & Giveaway!

Maxx-in-is-ta (max-uh-nee-stuh) noun: a fashionista who gets it all for much, much less at T.J. Maxx

I don’t think there’s a women out there that’s not looking for a great deal these days and TJ Maxx and Marshalls has got you covered!

I was more than excited when I was  invited by TJ Maxx and Marsharll’s to head over to my local store and do a little shopping on them and report my savings back to all of you, my wonderful bloggy friends!

I took my favorite little shopper with me to look for some great deals one Saturday afternoon.

Yep..that’s nerdy me taking our picture in a mirror and Ella practicing her new found bubble blowing skills.

I shop at TJ Maxx quite often, but had a hard time deciding what to buy on this particular day.  The shelves and racks were full of great deals and bargains.  Name brand purses, shoes, sweaters, jewelry, perfume… it was all there and at unbelievably low prices.

I also LOVE the home decor section.  I could spend 2 hours roaming around and looking at all that they have to offer.  So, as much as  I need to buy something for myself to wear for the Fall – I ended up with items for my home.  OH – and one fashion item for myself!

I ended up leaving with….

An area rug for the back entry way, a pair of Liz Claiborne sunglasses, a set of Kitchen Aid measuring spoons, and a candle from For Everybody.

All this for $25!!  Can you believe it?!  I don’t know about you, but I get a thrill from a great deal!  And you know what…I want you to spend an afternoon out with your best shopping buddy courtesy of TJ Maxx and Marshalls.  So, I’m going to give one of  you MY $25 Marshalls Gift Card!!  Yipppeeee! Always sharing the love, that’s me…

Vaseline Sheer Infusion Review & Giveaway

*WINNER* CONGRATS TO FAYTHE AT GRAMMY MOUSE TRAILS!!

New Vaseline® Sheer Infusion™ with Stratys-3™ body lotion is a breakthrough in moisturizing technology that delivers superior moisture** across all skin’s layers of skin.*

Stratys-3™, the most powerful, patented moisturizing complex on the market,**combines three ingredients that infuse and suspend moisture across the skin’s top, core and deep down layers.* This results in unprecedented hydration leading to better, more healthy moisturized skin and an unmatched silky skin feel.  Clinical studies show that more hydration leads to improved skin softness, smoothness and quicker elimination of dry skin.

Most body lotions on the market today use glycerin as the primary humectant to attract and hold moisture. Glycerin is effective at penetrating the skin’s core, but because it sinks down into skin, it can leave the outermost surface layer, where moisture is needed most on a day-to-day basis, vulnerable to water loss resulting in dry unhealthy skin.  Furthermore, as lotions increase glycerin levels to improve performance, they can leave skin feeling sticky.  Stratys-3 offers a better solution for delivering optimal hydration to all skin’s surface layers than the current industry standard, glycerin.  Each ingredient in the Stratys-3 complex was selected for its unique ability to work optimally at a specific layer of skin so when combined into a lotion, it can effectively care for the top, core and deep down layers of surface skin.

“We recognized the limitations of glycerin several years ago and set out on a mission to identify a better way to moisturize skin’s many layers while not sacrificing the sensory benefits of a lotion,” says Greg Nole, Unilever Research and Development.  “We were very excited to discover Glycerol Quat, a revolutionary humectant that uniquely moisturizes in a way that overcomes the restrictions of glycerin. GQ has more moisturizing power than glycerin, so it delivers the same performance at lower levels, resulting in a better skin feel.”

My Review

Vaseline was kind enough to send all three of their Vaseline Sheer Infusions, Botanical Blend, Mineral Renewal and Vitamin Burst, for me to try out.  I’ve grown up using Vaseline brand items, so I knew that most likely this would be a product that I enjoyed.

Being a daycare provider and a germ freak, I wash my hands 100 times a day, leaving them dry and sore most days.  Other lotions tend to burn and cause my hands to be red after applying them, but that wasn’t the case with Vaseline Sheer Infusion.  It immediately made my hands feel soft and not greasy, almost silk like.  The smell was a little strong at first, but softened to a nice pleasant scent as it dried.  I even applied this lotion to my 3 year old daughter’s dry hands and had no complaints from her at all.

I would recommend this lotion to anyone wanting to use a lotion that treated the skin, instead of sitting on top of it.  I noticed a definite improvement in my skin’s texture with regular use.

I would love for you to be able to try out all 3 of the Vaseline Sheer Infusion Lotions and experience them for yourself! So, I (thanks to Vaseline!) will  be giving away 1 whole set to one of you wonderful readers of mine!

Here’s the deal:

Enter to win 3 bottles of your very own Vaseline Sheer Infusion in

Botanical Blend, Mineral Renewal & Vitamin Burst!

MANDATORY ENTRY
Go to  Vaseline’s Website and check out their products.  Come back here and tell me which  lotion you’d like to try.

Do You See A Blog Future?

One evening while eating dinner, Ella asked me to pull out my video camera and record her.  I had NO IDEA what she was going to say and expected a little song or silly dance.  Little did I know she was going to give me a review on the YoBaby Yogurt she was eating!  She is a little shy and quiet, so turn up your speakers.  She must have been self conscious of her 1st vlog review. Totally not her normal video camera personality!

Check it out!!

Don’t you want to run out and buy some YoBaby Yogurt now?!

Next…another review that she felt she must get out there to all your wonderful readers of All Things Mamma.com – CANDY!

I think I see a blog or commercials in Ella’s future. What do you think?

(CLOSED)The NEW Kia Forte Koup Review & Giveaway

The NEW Kia Forte Koup – the best in it’s class!

*WINNER* JULIE AT LIFE DOMESTIC!!

As a mom, I am always interested in new cars coming out and the safest, most fuel efficient ones out there.  So, when Kia asked me to check out their website and the new Kia Forte Koup, I was more than glad to do so!

“The world has never seen anything quite like this.  A unique combination of class-leading standard horsepower, fuel efficiency and advanced standard features.  The Kia Forte Koup.  The first of its kind.”

• Only coupe in its class to offer MP3/USB port standard on all trim levels
• Only coupe in its class to offer Bluetooth connectivity standard on all trim levels

Unsurpassed comfort begins with exceptional cabin space.
Both the Forte sedan and Forte Koup reward you with a surprisingly spacious interior, which
is a direct result of their contemporary exterior design.

In fact, the Forte sedan has class-leading cabin space that provides more head and shoulder
room front and rear — as well as more front legroom — than the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla or
Mazda3.4 The Forte Koup is equally impressive, offering the most front legroom in its class. A sixway
adjustable driver’s seat and an available tilt-and-telescopic steering wheel enhance your
comfort, while optional leather trim on EX and SX models is both comfortable and luxurious.

I believe my favorite feature of the Kia Forte is the Fuel Economy.  Take a peak:

The Forte sedan EX with the available Fuel EconomyPackage offers class-leading fuel efficiency — an exceptional 27 city/36 highway mpg.5 Among other features, the Fuel Economy Package includes a 5-speed automatic transmission, a “smart alternator” that minimizes drag by operating only when battery conditions require it, an electric motor-driven power steering system, highly efficient silica tires and aerodynamic enhancements. In addition, all automatic transmission models have Eco Minder, a feature that lets you know when you’re achieving optimum fuel economy via an icon that lights up. It allows you to develop more economical driving habits.

Kia would love to share their new Koup with you by getting you ready for a ride in a Koup by giving away to 1 lucky reader of mine:

$25 Best Buy Gift Card
AND
$25 iTunes Gift Card

Here’s the deal:

MANDATORY ENTRY
Go to the KIA MOTORS Website and check out their new Kia Koup.  Come back here and tell me which feature you like the best.
