E-cloth My House Clean, So Can You

E-cloth My House Clean, So Can You

ReviewDisclaimer

Let’s talk clean houses today. I know, I know; it’s not a favorite topic among most moms, but it’s one of those things we all have to face. As a mother who often has a little one under foot on cleaning day, I really do need something that gets the job done quickly and without filling the atmosphere with loads of harmful fumes and tons of yucky toxins

So when e-cloth offered a chance to sample one of their many products, I raised my rubber-laden, anti-dishwater gloved hand right away. I was thrilled, and slightly overwhelmed by the array of products e-cloth offers, but I finally settled on the Universal Stone with applicator set from their website at www.ecloth.com. I was so excited to put this product through its paces that I started (with bare hands) in the kitchen and worked my way to the master bath. I cleaned my stove top, my stainless steel sink, a filthy copper-bottom pot and even the fiberglass basin in my shower. With the Universal Stone and some elbow grease all these surfaces easily came clean without fumigating my home.

20602 UniversalStone&ApplicatorThe Universal Stone is a natural way to restore a shine to metallic surfaces and clean any smooth surface without harsh chemicals. The cleaning agent is made from natural ingredients including soap flakes, green soap, vegetable oils, glycerin, polishing clay earth, and natural perfume oils (citronella). Universal Stone is free from toxins and acids and is fully biodegradable, environmentally friendly, phosphor-free and kind to the skin. This makes the Universal Stone child and pet friendly as well as non-allergenic. This non-abrasive product, cleans, polishes and preserves all in one step and can be used on chromium, stainless steel, aluminum, silver, gold, copper, brass, tin, enamel, glass, acrylic plastic, crystal, plastic, painted wood, ceramics, etc. You should have seen the gunk that came off my copper pot — yuck!

Of course e-cloth also offers other environmentally-friendly cleaning products like general purpose cloths that clean with just water, mops, dusters and body towels. They also offer specialty products for electronics, automobiles and pets. You can shop their entire line of products at www.ecloth.com and join their e-mail list to receive the latest product and promotional information. Please note that if you join the e-cloth mailing list they will only send promotional emails a couple of times a month and you can opt out at any time. They also do not sell email addresses. You can also friend, follow and visit them at one of their social media sites listed below.

But as a special treat, e-cloth and Small Talk Mama have teamed up to offer one reader the perfect opportunity to try the Universal Stone for free.

DASANI Drops — Delicious Anywhere, Anytime

DASANI Drops — Delicious Anywhere, Anytime

ReviewDisclaimer

DASANIAs many of you know, I recently gave up soda for Lent this year. We’re talking forty days of water and tea here folks. Okay, so I didn’t make it through every week without a pop here or there, but I did do really well for the most part. Instead of soda as my drink of choice for most of my Lenten days, I chose to drink lots of water — lots and lots of water. I drank water water, fizzy water and flavored water, until I thought I might just float away.

So imagine my excitement when a fun package from DASANI arrived in the mail just in time to offer a new solution to my same old water routine. Now, here’s something you must know about me — I’m a water snob. I love water, but not just any water. If water, bottled or not, has an excessive amount of purifying chemicals or metals in it, I’ll taste it. . . once. And here’s something else you must know (and not because DASANI sent me some tasty products) I love DASANI water. It’s by far, my favorite bottled water, because it has a nice, clean taste. I’m not lying. Just ask my husband — he’ll tell you I’m a DASANI girl. But I digress here. . .

What I really wanted to tell you about today is the new DASANI Drops Infusions. I received two taste-testing flavors from DASANI in exchange for my honest opinion, and so here it goes. I tried both the Lime flavor and the Strawberry Basil (don’t worry, you don’t really taste the basil) Infusions in my water and thought both were winners. Now, I’m more of a lemon or lime water girl, so of course the lime drops were my favorite, but the strawberry was pretty tasty too. I added about three or four squirts (yes, I know they are called drops, but squirting worked best for me) to a regular-sized bottle of water, did a bit of shaking and that’s all it took to create a refreshing flavorful drink for the road, gym or dinner table. (Psst, don’t tell DASANI , but the drops worked great in “other” brands of water also.)

One of the best things about these new DASANI Drops is that they are unsweetened, have zero calories (I have no interest in making my healthy drink fattening), are naturally flavored and have no color added. Also, because these little Infusions come in such a petite perfect-purse-sized package, I literally can infuse my water with delicious flavor anytime and anywhere, like the gym, picking up my preschooler after school or in the middle of Blue Jay Hollow, Arkansas, population. . . well, less than 100. Salute!

So if you’re bored with the same old bland water, I suggest you pick up a bottle of DASANI Drops Infusions and dress up your drink today. DASANI also has some tasty new Sparkling Black Cherry water in a can you should try, but that’s a whole other post. Let me just say, DASANI is delicious, any way you drink it. By the way, you can purchase these new DASANI products at your local Target. For a limited time, coupons will be available for both DASANI DROPS Infusions and DASANI Sparkling in Black Cherry using Target’s Cartwheel app. See, yet another reason to go to Target!



“Show Us Your Pyrex” Party

“Show Us Your Pyrex” Party

pyrex100-banner

As many of you may know, Pyrex (the long-lived favorite of the American kitchen) is turning 100 this year. If you’re like me, you still use your tried and true Pyrex baking and storage dishes regularly and have no thoughts of retiring them anytime soon. If you’re also like me, you own a classic piece or two that is way out of date, but somehow whipping it out for church potluck or special events always floods your heart with good memories . . . especially if you grew up in a family where your mama sure knew how to cook (and did).

mypyrexIn celebration of the “Big Hundred,” Pyrex is putting on their party hats and blowing the horns with a nation-wide measuring cup tour and great giveaways during the next few months. If you want to get in on the action, visit their site to enter and see where they might show up next.

Now for the real fun! In fabulous birthday fashion, Small Talk Mama is hosting a “Show Us Your Pyrex” party right here for the next few months. Take photos of your favorite Pyrex and post them at the linked party below so that we can all admire and covet what you have in your kitchen.

So I guess this is where I’m suppose say, “I’ll show you mine, if you show me yours.”
