Meet a Handmade Artist: Eye On The Sparrow Designs and Giveaway

Thumbnail image for Meet a Handmade Artist: Eye On The Sparrow Designs and Giveaway

When I offer my annual sponsorship ads for the holiday, it’s like a crap shoot. I just never know what types of shops would respond. I mean, I doubt I’d get approached by an Auto Parts store but I just never know. So when Eye On The Sparrow Designs offered to be a sponsor (see the badge to the right?), I was more than relieved. I was ecstatic  and thrilled, [...]

Scotch Naturals Review and Giveaway

Thumbnail image for Scotch Naturals Review and Giveaway

GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED I had the “pleasure” of acting like one of “The Housewives of (Blank)” last few weeks, thanks to Nature’s Basin who sent me a bottle of Scotch. Yes, you read it correctly but not that kind. How can you tell me to cook, do the dishes, and clean the house when my nails are this gorgeous and well polished? I took the time to give myself a [...]

The Caramel Jar Review and Giveaway

Thumbnail image for The Caramel Jar Review and Giveaway

I don’t even know how to describe these slow melting, sultry sweetness in my mouth this morning. I can’t find the right words in the English language to describe the salty and yet oh, so sweet message that my tongue is trying to send to the limbic system. I honestly don’t know how I can adequately communicate this sinfully delectable and addicting nature of these caramels to you. Without you [...]

Maxim Feminine Products Coupon Code for Ecokaren Readers

You know I love giveaways. I like hosting giveaways more than entering one. There is something about introducing you to new and innovative products that I find most interesting, green, and healthy. I wish I can host a giveaway every week but it’s a lot of work. I have to try it, take it out for a spin, abuse it, and test it to make sure I can recommend it.  [...]

I mean, you can, but you can certainly handover your iPad to your woman instead.) Specifically, it’s about what women need because of our monthly ‘thang’. Yup. [...]

It’s still cold here in NY. And I still wear something to protect my neck from the wind. Like this cowl, neckwarmer, scarflette, or whatever you call it. This is made with French Cotton Terry that was upcycled from a sweatshirt. It’s warm as a toasted bagel. And I’m giving it away. Why? So that you’ll have something warm to wear now or next winter. Aren’t I nice? Here is [...]

Herban Lifestyle Shampoo Bar Review and Giveaway

Thumbnail image for Herban Lifestyle Shampoo Bar Review and Giveaway

I’ll get to the point. I HATE shampoo and conditioner bottles. They clutter my bathroom and they create so much plastic waste. So when I noticed people talking about shampoo bars on various forums and blogs, I was intrigued. How great is using up something and there’s no waste left afterwards? I cringe every time I have to throw out those unrecycalable shampoo and conditioner bottles because I know they [...]

How to Build a Fire Book Review and Giveaway

Well, Erin Bried did it again! She wrote another handy dandy “How to” book. Erin is the author of back-to-basics handbook called “How to Sew a Button and other nifty things our Grandmothers knew“, a book I reviewed in January. I was so impressed by this chock-full-of-’how-to’-info book that I picked her brain a little in an interview about her background and told her how, I think, she should write [...]

Glass Dharma Reusable Straws Review and Giveaway

Giveaway is CLOSED I admit. I don’t use straws. “Then, why the heck are you reviewing straws?” you say? Before you click off to read other earthier blogs, let me ‘splain. Even if I don’t use straws at home and  generally refuse them at restaurants, drinking  a cold root beer float or a thick frothy fruit smoothie seems so much tastier with a straw. And the squealing and shhhlurping sound [...]

Rosey I am a sucker. I gave in and got a dog for my daughter when she turned ten. What is it with kids wanting pets when they reach the ripe old age of ten? Do they think just because their age is now a double digit that they become responsible all of a sudden? My son went through it too but I was able to talk him out of [...]

Remember my poor Hyacinths that I thought I killed? And how I thought I had a “brown thumb” and not a “green thumb”? It turns out, I do have a green thumb. The hyacinths are doing fine and look at these sprouts that came up from my plantings from the Easter weekend. Having said, I honestly don’t think it’s anything I personally did that made these little guys break the [...]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYh5bkwyuRs&feature=channel”

When my kids were in elementary school, I was the “Health and Safety Committee” chairperson for the PTA. I advocated healthy eating, exercise and implemented programs to educate kids about preventing obesity. Now that my kids are older and are in different schools, I no longer hold that position but I still try to maintain healthy eating as part of our lifestyle and my kids have become relatively health conscious [...]

“How to sew a button” Book Review and Giveaway

I don’t remember who taught me how to sew. I didn’t live near my grandmothers and in fact, my maternal grandmother passed away when I was only six years old. But I heard she made her living as a seamstress so may be it’s in my blood. One thing for sure though; I remember knowing how to sew, by hand and with a sewing machine, for as long as I [...]

The Natural Dentist Review and Giveaway

Oral hygiene. I abhor talking about oral hygiene. I hate going to the dentist like going to my car mechanic. When my car mechanic tells me I need a new “timing belt” on my car, I wonder, “What’s a timing belt, and why do I need it?”. Similarly, I have no idea if I really do have a cavity as I try to squint to see a tiny opaque spot [...]

You can’t reuse January of last year?” So, you can imagine the delightful smile on my face when I received the nicely packaged calendar printed on recycled paper in recycled [...]
