EcoStore USA is having a big sale **Giveaway added**

EcoStore was started up in New Zealand 15 years ago. Melanie and Malcolm Rands opened up this store 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.


They now have a EcoStore USA and they carry so much more than just cleaning products. They carry a baby line, a bath and body care line, pet essentials, household items, and more!


We got to try out the citrus spray cleaner and the cream cleanser. They are awesome prices at only $9.00 on for $5.50 and $7.50 on for $4.50. With prices like those even cost can't stand in the way of buying natural cleaners. Those prices are the same if not better than the big box store prices. They even have free shipping on orders of $25 or more right now.


I used the cream cleanser first on my bathtub. I hate to admit out here in cyber world how gross it was but it was bad. I was waiting to clean it until my new cleaner arrived and so the grime build up was pretty bad. This cleanser worked awesome. I just squirted some around my tub and took out my scrubber and went to town. The cleanser definitely did its job. It didn't take nearly as much scrubbing as it could have. I have to say that it worked just as well as any other cream cleanser I have tried. At these prices I will definitely being getting more when I run out.

That's something else I need to touch on, you don't need much at all. A little will most definitely go along way. I also used this cream cleaner on my toilet and again it worked great. Its nice to find a cleaning product that you can use for more than one thing.


The citrus spray cleaner was great as well. Are you surprised? I was. I can't stand using spray cleansers on my kitchen counters. I find they all leave a residue and I hate knowing that there are chemicals sitting on my counters where I am preparing my families food. I would rather germs than harmful chemicals.

Now you don't have to choose. I tried out this spray on my counters and wiped them all down and then rubbed my hand along the counter and couldn't feel a thing. I feel very good using this spray on my counters and then putting food on them right after with no worry of chemicals getting onto my families food.

EcoStore USA has a great sale on right now. Right now all plant and mineral based products are 40% off for the rest of the year. You also get free shipping on orders of $25 of more. They would make great stocking stuffers for your wife or mother, I don't know why but I don't think that my husband would enjoy it. They would also make great gifts for secret Santa exchanges or more natural oriented family members!

EcoStore USA has decided to do a giveaway for you all as well! They have offered one winner a $25 e-commerce gift cerficate good for anything on their site!

TML Creations with Giveaway

Here's a little bit about Tracy, the owner and artist behind TML Creations:


I have been creating and selling watercolor paintings for the last 20 years. In the past, I sold most of my paintings through a variety of galleries throughout New England. The subject matter primarily depicted realistic versions of New England's wildlife and countryside. I have also ventured into painting these same scenes as murals on many walls in businesses and private residences.Additionally, during this time, I graduated from the University of Southern Maine with a bachelors degree in Art Education, and went on to teach for 8 years in various school systems in Maine. I also fell in love, got married, and had three wonderful children.Currently I work from home painting and selling artwork. The artwork I create is bright, cheerful, and imaginative; perfect for decorating children's rooms, bathrooms, and any space that needs a happy and heartwarming decorative finish.


TML Creations creates original watercolor paintings and giclee prints for people of all ages. Colorful and whimsical artwork is added to the store every week so be sure to check in often.


We received the Dump Truck and Excavator print for Brandons room. I love it. It can go with any decor and you can make your own with whatever frame you want to get for it. You can get a few prints and do up a collage of them all or just do one as the center piece in your child's room.


TML Creations has offered one of my readers an 8x10 print of their own. Your choice!

My Beautiful Girl with Giveaway

Sam of My Beautiful Girl is a stay at home/work at home mom who lives in Colorado with 3 going on 4 kids. Her oldest is 10 and the youngest is due to arrive in February. Its so easy to think that you know what kids like and what it a great item that you need to have for your baby but you really don't know until you have kids.

Because Sam has 4 (almost) kids she really knows what kids like, need and what works well for them. She knows how to size things and how to make them the most helpful they can be. She has been sewing for 15 years so she knows her stuff! She sells wet bags, purses, cloth diapers, undies and more!

You know the undies you can get in stores? You know how you have to go up a size or so and they still give your little one a wedgie? It isn't just me is it? The but just never seems big enough.
The boxer shorts I got for Brandon are awesome. I got him a size 2 and they are a bit big for him but they definitely work. The size 2 undies I have for him from big box stores are a little snug in the bum and I can see that he will outgrow them very soon.

I am generally a pretty cheap person but I am most definitely willing to spend a little more when the quality is much better and they are going to fit right and last longer.
The first thing that attracted me to My Beautiful Girl was her prints of fabric that she uses for her undies. She really has some adorable prints available. Brandon loves the bikes and frogs on his.

Sam does a lot of custom work so there is a limited amount to purchase on her site but you can just convo her and she will make you whatever you want!
One lucky winner will receive two pairs of undies from My Beautiful Girl! (Sam will pick the prints)

Episencial


Episencial's high quality products are inspired by The Very Hungry Caterpillar’s favorite fruits from The World of Eric Carle. Designed with green values in mind, Episencial products are:

-professional quality at an unbeatable price
-baby safe for the most sensitive skin – ages 0 to 150
-enhances immunity with doctor recommended, clinically effective formulas
-free from all the bad stuff – no synthetic chemicals
-smells terrific with real fruit juice extracts – not fragrances
-made exclusively with all natural ingredients and lots of organics
-beautifully packaged in recycled and sustainable materials – phthalate and BpA free
-featuring art beloved by children for generations, Eric Carle’s The Very Hungry Caterpillar
-manufactured under solar power

Episencials was created by Kim Walls, a skin care expert and mom. She knew what other parents were looking for in skin care products for their children and she sought out to provide it for them. She wanted it to be affordable and as natural as possible.

What they created is awsome! They now carry a large line of products for babies and children including sunscreen, moisturizers, body wash, diaper rash cream, bubble bath and more!

We were lucky enough to try out samples of all of the items in the baby and childrens line before they were even on the shelves of stores. I didn't really get enough of each product to try them out for long but what I did get to try I was quite happy with. Now that the line is fully out there you can try it for youselves to see.

I have to say that other than the fact that this is a very green product, organic and natural, the price is my favorite part.
