Eco Mom Giveaway - Nick Stick

Thanks to Eco Mom, we received the Nick Stick by Pacific Shaving Company Stick for my hubby to review. It is a small but great way to quickly heal razor nicks and cuts. The Nick Stick stops bleeding fast, contains vitamins A and E and Aloe. It is for men or women and dries clear...no chalky residue. It rolls on with it's self-sterilizing applicator. 
Well, I have had this sitting here forever just waiting on my hubby to nick himself...about 3 weeks now! Nope, he didn't. Well, not until our grandson went to grab his leg(he's learning to walk and likes to stay by Papa's side) and missed his leg and hubby jerked down and grabbed him before he hit the floor. Baby is safe and I have my nick! lol   Terrible, I know but I needed that nick! He gave me that look that says "Give It Here, Let Me Try It". It really did stop him from bleeding(no need for tissue on the neck anymore). It says a slight sting may be felt initially due to antiseptic but he said he didn't notice. He also liked that it worked fast. 


You can buy the Nick Stick from Eco Mom for only $8 and it qualifies for FREE Shipping and use CODE SBBL645 for 15% off of your Entire First (1st) Order from Eco Mom from now until March 28, 2011.

Build A Dream Playhouses Review & Giveaway

Product to Review: Build A Dream Playhouses
Product Information: Build a Dream Playhouses was founded by a father from Cleveland   dedicated to the futures of the City of Cleveland, the State of Ohio, and the imaginations of children. To achieve that, and reflecting on his city’s hard times, he recruited two bright, ambitious, and innovative college students. In collaboration with the world famous Nottingham-Spirk Design Associates, a group of 3 to 9 year old children, and the Smurfit Stone Container Corporation, Build a Dream Playhouses is now proud to introduce to you what they believe to be the most innovative, fresh, and fun playhouses on the market. Build A Dream Playhouses are safe, affordable, eco-friendly products that stimulate and encourage the endless imagination of ALL children. 
We received the Snack Shack for our review and it is something the grandkids are STILL enjoying. They have spent hours upon hours painting their snack shack and playing it in. They have their little own lemonade stand as they call it. They have even decided to sell hotdogs and gummy worms(their play food of course). But they are actually using it at the church garage sale(selling real lemonade and hotdogs) and donating any money they make to help less fortunate kids in our area. This is not a toy that they have played with then just forgot about. They get very excited whenever someone mentions a charity or something like that...that they can use their snack shack and make their contributions! They each have put stickers on it also with all their names. They have convinced me to make them some peanut butter & chocolate chip cookies for the church sale...looks like I will be baking lol.
One (1) of my readers will win a Build A Dream Playhouse of their choice.

TerraCycle Drink Pouch Lunch Box Giveaway


Product to Review: Terracycle Drink Pouch Lunch Box
 Product Information:

Here are just a few quick facts about what 50 Million juice pouches is equal to:
TerraCycle makes this lunch box from waste drink pouch material. Every year, billions of drink pouches end up in dumpsters and landfills across America. Working with a brigade of school volunteers, TerraCycle diverts tons of waste juice pouches annually and donates 2 cents to a charity or non-profit for each pouch collected. The color of each lunch box will vary depending on the type of drink pouch used.

Surface area:


  • 125 x yellowstone
  • 9 x grand canyon
  • 2 x size of new jersey
  • 480 football fields
Weight:


  • 75 hummers
  • 150 priuses
  • 41 elephants
  • 20 school buses
Height:


  • 807 mt everest's
  • 18,600 empire state buildings
Here are facts about how much CO2 was eliminated because 50 Million pouches were kept from the landfills:


The study finds that sending a single pouch to:


1. Landfill: results in emissions of 0.51g CO2 per pouch


2. Waste-to-Energy: results in net emissions of 6.33g CO2 per pouch (this includes the energy created)


3. Recycling: results in the elimination of 6.33g CO2 per pouch


4. Upcycling: results in the elimination of 192g CO2 per pouch.


This means, the total emissions prevented from being put into the atmosphere right now, at the Drink Pouch Brigade’s 50 Million mark, is between 347 tons (if all recycled) and an incredible 10,582 tons (if all upcycled).
DRINK POUCH BRIGADE SPONSORSHIP HITS $1 MILLION MARK FOR SCHOOLS.
50 Million Drink Pouches Redeemed Through TerraCycle Fund Local School Programs Nationwide.

My Opinion: I love that my Terracycle Drink Pouch Lunch Box is made of Recycled Drink Pouches! I also like that Terracycle has involved students in this process. My grankids love recycling so this is right up their alley. We received the red Terracycle Drink Pouch Lunch Box and of course, it is a big hit with them.
