Nana's Natural Nappies Diaper Essentials Giveaway Ends June 12, 2010

 I am a cloth diapering Mom and I know that when I find a site like Nanas Natural Nappies I really like that I can find everything I need.
About Nana's
"Nana's Natural Nappies was created when my daughter-in-law and I started talking about the cloth diapers that I used a very long time ago versus the cloth diapers that she uses today.  While our reasons for using cloth diapers were distinctly different (my babies would have terrible rashes when they wore disposable diapers - - she is a devoted vegan with a firm belief in using natural products in all walks of life), we both were firm in our decision that it was better for our babies.  I was so taken with the new cloth diapers and how much easier they were to care for and use than the one that I used all those years ago, that I have once again become an advocate for cloth diapering"

They have stocked Nana's with natural products that use only natural ingredients.  Many of their products are also Vegan friendly. Their cleaning products, like detergents and odor and bacteria eliminators are gentle, natural, and will not harm the environment.

Nana's also provides information on cloth diapering and natural product use. 

Nana's can provide to make your life easier and greener.

Cloth diapers are the best way to pamper your baby. Cloth diapers also have the added benefit of being kind to the environment. There are many styles of cloth diapers: All-In-Ones (AIO), Pocket Diapers, Contour Diapers, PreFold Diapers Flat Diapers. Which should you use? How do you even get started? Don't worry! Nana is here to help with information and instructions.  They even have a forum planned for moms so they can share advice and experiences.
Nana's has carefully selected each product based on it's ease-of-use, quality, and affordability. All of their cloth diapers and natural baby care products are all-natural and organic. They even carry products just for mom because they want you to be happy and comfortable, too. You can shop for all of your cloth diapering and baby care products at Nana's with confidence.  They also have added some valuable information on choosing cloth diapers, what your cloth diapering options are, folding cloth diapers, and how to use our favorite brand Tiny Tush Elite Pocket Diapers.

My Lip Stuff Review and Giveaway at Todays Diva

 

My Lip Stuff's ultimate mission is to end the suffering of people with chapped lips all across the land. In the process, My Lip Stuff strives to end animal testing and save the environment with chemical-free natural products!
Is this a tall order? Absolutely. But at My Lip Stuff they are dedicated- and are willing to start small. My Lip Stuff lip balm is the perfect blend of butters, oils, and beeswax to moisturize dry lips! Add to that the fact that this company is earth and animal friendly- and you have yourself the perfect lip balm! Over 500 flavors currently available and new flavors added all the time. Special request flavor orders also available.

They offer tons of different label choices in different themes (& custom labels too!)-- so there is surely something for everyone.
My Lip Stuff's products are NEVER tested on animals & contain natural (from the earth) ingredients that are skin loving. Their products do NOT contain any harsh ingredients- and NEVER contain petroleum or mineral oil! They also do what they can by using recycled (and recyclable) materials whenever possible, and even using "green power" (power from renewable resources such as wind, water, or landfill gases-instead of oil). They also Drive a Hybrid, and use only fluorescent lighting (no incandescent bulbs here!).
In the end, They strive to create a natural product made from only the highest quality ingredients, with the least amount of impact on the environment and its inhabitants, for the lowest possible price. 

 I was really thrilled when Brea from My Lip Stuff sent me a few flavors for Review. I am a big fan of lip balms so I was really excited about trying out some Flavored kinds.

I was sent Carmel Cotton Candy, Lime Sherbet and Chocolate Caramel. 

 

Well the Chocolate Caramel insantly disappeared as my 13 yr old thought it was super yummy and was in need of some dry lip therapy, so off it went. It is so delicous it makes me hungry.  My youngest loves the Caramel cotton Candy and loves to mmmmmmmmmmmm the flavor a lot.  :) If I am putting on lip balm so is Emma and she loves this one a lot. My favorite out of the three has to be the Lime Sherbet. This is a wonderful scent to have. My Lip Stuff, lip balms are very easy to put on and a little is all you need of this. It really moisturizes the lips and gives your lips a great gloss at the same time.

My Lip Stuff began many years ago, back in 1999 as a hobby. Today My Lip Stuff continues to be a thriving online store, with a 1000 sq ft "factory" where the magic happens! 

Brea's mission is still the same: to create products that are skin, earth, and animal friendly. She stuck to her roots and still handmakes all her products in very small batches to ensure freshness. The end result is plain and simple- My Lip Stuff is serious lip care with a fun flair, for the kid (albeit the responsible kid) in all of us! 

My Lip Stuff is a wonderful product to have in the diaper bag or purse.
The elements of the weather are so hard on your face and lips, My Lip Stuff has your Chapped lips covered with over 500 flavors to choose from!

Cangles Review and Giveaway at Todays Diva!!

Introducing Cangles

With 50 billion cans ending up in landfills or incinerated yearly in the U.S., I recently found a really cool online company that has decided to recycle in a new and revolutionary way.  

It was only the last week in August 2009, when 4 individuals came up with the idea of making bracelets from recycled cans. 

Use cans to create bangles - and Cangles was born. Since that time, Cangles has designed eco cuffs and earrings!
I’m sure you’ve seen lots of interesting ways in which people are using recycled materials, but nothing comes close to the fashionable look of this eco jewelry! At Cangles they have created styles that will appeal to your unique personality, whatever it is. Every single Cangles is handmade using recycled (and sanitized) aluminum cans. And the result? A colorful, eco-friendly, one-of-kind fashion accessory.

I was so thrilled to be sent a set of Cangles for Reivew.

What a neat piece of Jewelry and it makes for a great conversation. I have had fun telling many about this cool piece. I really like eco-jewerly and the magnetic clasp used makes it sooo easy to put on and take off.

I was sent Two Bangles called Squirt Citrus and Arizona Tea in Green for Review and I love them both. 

Squirt Citrus Bangle

 

Squirt Citrus Burst soda can handcrafted into a Fashionably Green bangle. A recycled Squirt Citrus Burst soda can hand made into this bold but bright bangle. It's 1/2-inch wide, with silver-colored trim.

Arizona Tea -Green

Bangle hand made from a recycled Arizona Tea can, enhanced with silver-colored fancy trim. Women's bangle hand made with a teal-colored Arizona Tea can, 1/2-inch wide, silver-colored scalloped trim, pretty magnetic closure or traditional clasp 

**A recent survey by Forbes magazine showed that most feel the economy and jobs are their greatest concern. Supporting companies such as Cangles allows them, in turn, to do business with other local American companies and provide jobs right here where they're most needed! At Cangles they want everyone to be able to wear jewelry that is affordable, fashionable and at the same time friendly to our Earth.
When you buy Cangles, you contribute in many ways:
•Provide jobs for fellow Americans in a county with a 16% unemployment rate
•Allow Cangles to purchase materials from other American businesses
•Contribute to Ronald McDonald House Charities
•Contribute to scientific research and education through Save the Earth Foundation
•Improve our eco environment for future generations
•Remove 1 less can from the Earth’s landscape
•Beautify yourself!
