Each person that comes will receive a FREE party pack which includes:

Juicy Juice coupons

"Going Green as a Family" Featured Giveaway #2

A large part of going green, helping to better our environment is to avoid harsh chemicals whenever possible. Any chemicals that we use, get into our waterstream. Not all chemicals are able to be extracted from our drinking water. What does that mean? Well, think of it this way. Would you want to drink the chemicals you use? If no, you should try not to use them!
If you are interested in a product for your hair that used no harsh chemicals then you will be interested in this giveaway!
Eco Store USA has wonderful, toxic chemical-free products! The company has done extensive research for over 10 years on making household products from plant-based ingredients rather than manufactured toxic chemicals. The company was originally founded in New Zealand and has quickly expanded with over 100 products. Their goal is to make a product that is both good for the consumer as well as the environment! Their products contain NO:
  • Sulphates
  • Propylene Glycol
  • Dyes
  • Artificial Perfumes
  • Parabens
  • Cocamide DEA
  • Cocomidopropyl betaine
They have even found a way to make their products more inexpensive. The products are super-concentrated so that a little goes a long way. When using this product, using very little will give you better results than using a lot of any of the chemical products!

Why not do what you can to help your family become more healthy and eco-friendly? Give Eco Store USA's products a try.


Eco Store USA has generously sent me their Aloe Vera Shampoo & Conditioner for Normal/Dry Hair to try and review. When I consider a shampoo or conditioner, the first thing I do is smell the product. If the smell is appealing, I tend to buy it. This shampoo & conditioner was very appealing! The smell was very natural with a definite aloe vera smell as well as a calming lemon scent.

When I tried the shampoo I was not used to the fact that it doesn't lather like most commercial shampoos. I didn't get the thick white foam all over my head. I could feel that it was getting my hair clean despite that. The conditioner was thick and creamy. It seems to work best if you try to ring out your hair as best you can then apply the conditioner. I really didn't need to use much conditioner at all. After I finished washing, I blow dried my hair. It seemed to dry faster than with other shampoos and conditioners that seem to leave my hair heavy. Now, my hair seems smoother and definitely softer than ever! I am highly impressed! I think I have found my new favorite hair care products!

I liked the product I tried so much that I ordered the Hypoallergenic Pet Shampoo for my little pooches too! I have 2 dogs of my own as well as 3 foster puppies. Good shampoo for them is very important to a clean, fresh home for me!

How to Compost

Did you ever wish you could do something other than throw away all the fruit and veggie scraps that you get from cooking? I did. I recently heard about composting. I actually saw a commercial for a kitchen composter. It was very expensive but I thought the idea was awesome! I decided to put together a little of what I found while researching the topic.

Easiest Homemade Composter:

  • Use a galvanized metal trash can. You will need to drill several holes into it and it will need a tight fitting lid. You will also need to dig a hole in the ground.
  • Use a plastic storage container with tight fitting lid. You will need to drill holes in this as well. This can be for indoor or outdoor use. This can also double as a seat!
  • Click here for how to make them.

What Can Be Composted:

  • Vegetable Scraps
  • Grains
  • Pasta
  • Fruit Rinds
  • Fruit Peels
  • Breads
  • Coffee Grounds & Filters
  • Tea Bags
  • Paper Towels
  • Paper Napkins
  • Toilet Paper (not soiled w/ human waste)
  • Paper Plates (no animal products on the plate)
  • Leaves
  • Sticks
  • Grass
  • Other yard waste

What Cannot Be Composted:

  • Any animal products
  • Meat
  • Fish
  • Poultry
  • Cheese
  • Oily Foods
  • Butter

Here are a few resources that I found very helpful:

Do you compost at home? What do you use as your compost bin? What have you found to be benefits/negative of home composting? Please share any ideas on the subject that you may have. I hope to start this process soon so any helpful tips would be greatly appreciated!
