I’m fascinated by this packaging. So dense! I just wonder how much energy it takes in the process.

Once again, Alice never fails to deliver. See the first giveaway I entered for a waterproof pad and the second one I entered for lip balm, both of which I won! This week’s giveaway is a lovely set of cleaning supplies from Better Life. This stuff is truly remarkable. They’ve got a line of cleaning products that is non-toxic, safe, biodegradable, and effective! It’s hard to believe, what with growing up thinking that harsh chemicals is the way to kill germs and clean messes, but I’m loving what I see from them. Talk about environmentally responsible! Here’s a way to keep your household clean without worrying about what baby may put his hands on or what part of the house the cat may decide to start licking (I’ve had my cats randomly lick spots on the floor for no apparent reason o.O). Who knew Mother Nature would provide us with all the ingredients we need to clean up our homes? It’s wonderful to see such responsible products on the market that takes care of things on all fronts: people, planet, and performance. Plus, they donate to non-profits that share their philosophy! How great is that?
Having a clean home provides a certain level of comfort, especially when you know that these products are practically all-natural and so environmentally friendly! Hygiene is important to health and healthy living allows us to truly enjoy everything in life. To me, that’s the most important thing about household chores. After all, who wants to have dusty counters and dirt in their food? That just increases the chance of germs getting ingested and infecting our bodies. Plus, keeping things clean helps keep your mind clear and bright too. It’s so much more soothing to walk into a room lit by sunlight with gleaming surfaces than to walk into a murky room barely lit by the sunlight trying to shine through grime. Having a clean and non-toxic home is all the more important so you don’t have to worry about what kinds of chemicals are you inadvertently breathing in or ingesting. Instead, you can focus on the task at hand and not be concerned for your health or the health of your family. In the end, using Better Life cleaning products can bring you peace of mind. And what’s better than that?

I am absolutely loving Alice.com‘s giveaways. I mentioned the site before on a previous product they were giving away, which I actually won, so I’m thrilled to try it out. Now they’re on to their next one (gosh, who knew they’d be so generous?) and I want to win again! This time it’s another wonderful product (though I must admit I’d say that for all their items, since it seems they are all environmentally responsible) – Perfect Organics Shea Butter Lip Balm!!! There are three flavors: Citrus Orange, Vanilla Twist, and Fresh Mint.
My preference is for the light, refreshing Citrus Orange, which also fits perfectly with their springtime theme. And take a look at their ingredients for that flavor: Organic Shea Butter, Organic Sweet Almond Oil, Organic Hazelnut Oil, Organic Jojoba Oil, Organic Orange Essential Oil, and Non-GMO Vitamin E. Seriously, that’s just amazing. I’m really loving this company and all that it has to offer. I’d love to see how such an organic product compares with the other stuff in the market. I can just imagine how the crisp smell will liven up my day whenever I open up the lip balm for some serious moisturizing. I sure hope I’m that lucky again! 🙂
Well, for this one they’re asking what springtime beauty rituals I have. Being a person who doesn’t use makeup as much as possible and pretty much sticks to some foundation and mascara, there’s not much I change seasonally in terms of beauty. However, I find that spring makes me want to feel clean and fresh, so I wish my skin was better and I didn’t use anything to try to even out the blemishes. I guess the one thing I do do is become more conscious of is lotioning, since the shorts don’t hide your dry legs and kneecaps quite like a trusty pair of jeans! I’m not sure if that is considered “beauty” so much as general maintenance, but it does have to do with bringing out the springwear!
So if you’re ready for spring to get into full swing, why wait? Go check out this awesome giveaway and we can both have luscious lips.
AquaNotes: preserving inspiration

I follow @modite on Twitter, who works for @alice, a start-up that makes errands easier, faster, and cheaper (at least this is my understanding of it – they’re still finishing up beta testing, so I don’t really know yet). Through her, I found out that they’re currently doing a promotional giving away AquaNotes, which are these waterproof pads. I think that’s pretty amazing! Basically the product is designed for placement in your shower so you can write stuff as you wash up. No longer do I have to dry off before jotting down notes of random ideas that pop in my head (and risk losing those thoughts in the process). Now, whenever I think of an idea for a blog post, an interesting observation to share, errands I need to run, or I suddenly remember something that happened or an item that I want to get someday, I can write it down!
Those of you who have read the description to the right will know that this blog is based on all the things that I jot down in my “fat lil’ notebook.” I write down everything I think of that is notable in it, including books to read, places to go, names I like, things to stock up in my pantry when I have one again, ideas for a wedding, and so much more. You can see it’s pretty random stuff, so I never know when I’ll think of another item to add to my collection of lists. Now I never need to worry about soaking the notebook and risking losing everything! With AquaNotes, I can just write it all down as it comes to me and easily transfer it over to the appropriate list as needed. I’m really excited to actually experience this product, since it’s an extension of something I already do. I’m a “shower thinker,” as they say.
It would also be fun to leave messages to those that I share my shower with, or stick up a sheet outside and not have to worry about if it’s going to rain or not. Plus, whenver I go to the pool, I can bring it along to write down whatever strikes me as I lap around the pool and get lost in my thoughts. As a swimmer, this is truly an invaluable product, since I can use it during workouts, at the hot tub relaxing afterwards, or in the locker room showering after that! They even provide you with a water resistant pencil to write with, complete with holder. All items suction onto the wall to be easily accessible. The possibilities with this are endless! And you know what the best part is? It’s environmentally friendly! Not only are the pads recyclable, they’re non-toxic and printed with soy-based ink. How cool is that?! I love green products.
