There are so many products out there, I thought that I would compile a list of "Things I like" . My favorite things are things that are environmental, not too pricey and are made to last even with kids using them! I am not paid by any of them to promote their products, I just think they are great and thought others would be interested. I will be adding more "things I like" as I find more!
www.planetbox.com - This is an amazing lunch box, it has room for sandwiches, fruits, veggies and a snack inside the box and a place for a drink and a snack on the outside. I have had one for my older son for two years and I am getting ready to buy my second one. They just launched a bigger size for older kids and adults. I love these things!!!
www.kidskonserve.com - These are also great, the planet box being one item is less to clean, but this system is less expensive and you can interchange different items. You don't have to get everything. I began with just the nesting stainless steel cups because I was looking for something non plastic for my son's snacks that was also light to carry. These were both! Every time I go on their site, they have added new things or changed something around.
www.lunchbots.com - these I found at Whole Foods last year. I have the stainless food containers in three different sizes. I have the blue lid which you can use to put either a salad in or a sandwich will fit in there, the orange lid that has a divider in it and the smaller yellow lid that I usually put a fruit and vegetable in them for on the go snacks for the kids. Looking at the site, they have added a bunch of new things, everything is reasonably priced and will last a lifetime. Definitely something to check out.
www.kleankanteen.com - These are BPA free stainless steel bottles. They have an assortment of different bottles, wide mouth, insulated. I have the 12 oz, 18 oz, 27 oz, 32 oz and 40 oz for the different people in my family. I like the new pint cup, but wish it had a lid. Maybe they will add one soon!
www.lifefactory.com - these are glass bottles for beverages. These are the newest addition to my collection. I have the 9 oz glass bottle and the 22 oz glass bottle. I love the 9 oz, I make a juice in the morning and send the kids to school with it for lunch they are wrapped in silicone so it makes them a little less breakable, but they still do break :(
www.greenhome.com - this website is great for all things environmental. I bought some cotton sandwich bags that have a velcro close. I didn't see the exact ones I got, but the ones they have now look like they would be easier to open. I also bought stainless steel straws. Check out the website for all their great products.
I have very sensitive skin, so it is hard for me to find products that don't irritate my skin. Below are a few beauty lines that have not irritated my skin and have actually improved the feel of it!
www.100percentpure.com - This is a great line of lotions, my favorite are the kids lotions because there is no alcohol in them at all and the natural fragrances can't be beat! I have also tried their mascara which is also great. I recently purchased shampoo and conditioner, face cleanser along with bath salts and a detox face mask. It came as a package for a reduced price. Love, love, love!
It has been a while since I found something new. This time it's for the laundry...soap nuts! These things are phenomenol. You can find them here www.naturoli.com I have been using these for a couple of weeks now and I love them. You use 5-6 soap nuts, put them into a small bag that comes with them and throw them in the wash. They are able to be used 4-7 times and you can tell when they are no longer useable. It seems that my laundry is getting softer especially the towels and I hang them on the clothes line. Check them out!
