Stocking stuffers, we tend not to do them in this house. I find that there is just too much junk that goes into them, candy, junk toys from the dollar store, etc. I’d rather take the money I would spend on a bunch of junk and get one more decent gift. BUT this year I’ve discovered a cute gift that may make me think twice.

Piggy Paint™ is specially formulated from God’s natural ingredients and dries to a hard, durable finish. There are  no toxic chemicals; it’s free of formaldehyde, toluene, phthalates, Bisphenol A, ethyl acetate and acetone. Click here to see how our polish compares!

Say good-bye to harsh, smelly chemicals and hello to Piggy Paint™…it’s as Natural as Mud!

My girls are girlie girls, so Piggy Paint was a huge hit. There are many cute colors to choose from, it would be hard for me to choose. Luckily, I didn’t have to, my sample was randomly selected for me. They sent us a bottle of Forever Fancy & a bottle of their Nail Polish Remover to try out on our piggy’s, yes I am sporting some on my piggy’s, too.  I tend to be very sensitive to the harsh smell of nail polish. My girls probably even think I’m a little mean because I almost NEVER paint there nails. I just can’t stand the smell, I have to really get in the mood to deal with it. Piggy Paint is almost void off all harsh scents!  It dries fairly quickly and lasts as long as other mainstream nail polish.

I originally tried the Remover on my leftover black nail polish from Halloween, it didn’t seem to touch it. So, this morning I gave it a shot on the piggy paint. It takes more scrubbing then regular remover, the bottle says to soak the nail with a saturated cotton ball for 30 seconds, I don’t have any cotton balls and the TP wasn’t cutting it.  So, I’m not currently having much luck with the remover.

I love all the holiday gift sets available! They have Mistle Toes shown to the left, what a perfect Christmas Eve gift! They also have Dreidel Dreams, Kolors of Kwanzaa as well as gift sets for other occasions and holidays as well.

Green Gift Giving: Piggy Paint

There has been a lot of bubble buzz from the blogosphere. On the heels of  Johnson & Johnson’s Big Bubblin’ Stars Contest many concerned parents and consumers have brought to light J&J’s use of toxic chemicals in their baby bath products.  Now, I don’t blog much about green home and family issues, since there are plenty of great resources, some of them my own awesome clients.  However, I think it is an important issue to bring up and support. Rather then reinvent the wheel I will simply show some link love support. I hope you will take a minute to read, learn and comment.

• The Green Parent -  Green Moms tell J&J to get the chemicals out
  
• Green & Clean Mom – I use toxic chemicals on my kids, do you?
  
• The Good Human – Johnson & Johnson Going Green With 1,4-Dioxane And Formaldehyde In Products?
• The Soft Landing – Johnson & Johnson Starts a “Green” Social Media Campaign but Neglects to Remove Toxic Chemicals
• Organic Mania - It May Be April Fool’s Day, But Toxins in Baby Bath are No Joke
• Big Green Purse – Should Soap Bubbles Make Your Baby Sick? Tell J&J No!
• Nature Moms – The Toxic Bubble Bath Debate
• The Green Phone Booth – Bubble Baths We Can Feel Good About

All the best!

Squeaky Clean?

Good Monday Morning! Today I am doing a double review and giveaway. It was just meant to be, these products came together by fate. See first, I was introduced to ecosmart world products. They make non-toxic eco-friendly whiteboard markers. As much as I would’ve liked to do a review their product I had nothing to use them on so I had to decline. Fast forward a few weeks and Jaysond of ScienceAide introduces me to their reusable scratch pads. Hello?? So here they are let’s check them out!

I was introduced to this super awesome reusable scratch paper from ScienceAide. I love using this whiteboard scratch paper while on the phone with clients or doing internet research. Just write, erase and reuse, over and over.

Then Eco Smart World has these equally great refillable dry erase pens. These dry-erase pens are recyclable, refillable and xylene free (one of the most toxic chemicals in the world and found in most disposable dry-erase pens) Each starter kit is equivalent to 246 pens

The kit also comes in 6 colors with refill ink and they don’t stink! Yah, you know that nasty dryerase pen stink! Apparently that comes from the toxic xylene.

Now as much as I love these two products I have to admit I haven’t had a whole lot of opportunity to use them.  Yep, the girls have taken them over, I have 1 sheet for me… that’s it.  But on the other hand I’m not having to dig up used paper for them to color on, right?

Ok, so 1 winner gets the whole deal, the scratch sheets and the pens!
