Ecokaren’s Creamy Neckwarmer Giveaway

Thumbnail image for Ecokaren’s Creamy Neckwarmer Giveaway

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 [...]

Pink iPad Leather Case Giveaway

Giveaway is CLOSED Like my family photo? Kidding. This is not my family, silly. They were my neighbors I met…when I visited Florida a few years ago. They kept following me to take pictures so I had to. But forget the picture. Do you like the frame? It’s my almost iPad. You know the one that I got for Mother’s Day last year but disappeared into my hubby’s bedside table? [...]

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 [...]

Earth Divas Review and Giveaway

I don’t know of any woman who does not have an affinity for accessories, especially bags. My mother is a frugal woman and never buys anything on an impulse… except bags. I’m not as bad as my mom but I am always in the market for a stylish but practical bag that I can tote around, especially if it’s light in weight and eco-friendly. So when a green blogger friend [...]

Clean + Green Review and Giveaway

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 [...]

Hometown Seeds Product Review and Giveaway

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 [...]

Soda Stream Review and Giveaway

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 [...]

GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED I am really excited about this review and giveaway. For the first time last year, I sent my Christmas cards and letters via e-mail.  Let me just say this though.

Well, those [...]

New Wave Enviro Products Review and Giveaway

Giveaway is CLOSED Fortunately, I don’t have to pack lunches for anyone these days. I know. Don’t hate me. But I do have to pack water bottles and snacks for sporting events for my kids though, which is just about every day. So when New Wave Enviro Products sent me a bamboo lunch bag, a stainless steel water bottle, and a stainless steel food container to review, I was psyched. [...]

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 [...]

Turnaround Design Product Review and Giveaway

GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED When Shannon Whealey of Turnaround Design contacted me to review her eco-friendly calendar, I was curious. I thought, “How can you make calendars eco-friendly? Calendars are the epitome of waste – once it’s used up, it’s garbage! 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 [...]

Thank You Series – Happy Goat Soap

I want to introduce an amazing goat milk soap maker from Montana who was generous enough to include one of her goat milk soaps in the Eco Spa Package for the House Warming Party giveaway. Living in the Northeast with harsh winters and humid summers has made my skin dry and very sensitive. I think the environmental factors also contribute to the sensitivity. I have always used organic soaps with [...]
