Bamboo 3 Piece Accessory Kit- by ToiletTree Products- REVIEW
ABOUT-
Bamboo 3 Piece Accessory Kit- by ToiletTree Products
3 Piece Kit includes- “Lotion Dispenser, Tooth Brush Holder and Soap Dish. Made from 100% natural eco-friendly bamboo.”
My Thoughts-
We’ve moved into a new home recently and I’ve been looking for ways to make everything look nicer/different then it did at our old house. When I was asked if I’d like to review the Bamboo 3 Piece Accessory Kit- by ToiletTree Products I was excited. My new bathroom has a lot of bamboo style and also has colors to complement it. We are also an eco-friendly family and knowing that bamboo is friendly to our planet makes this product even more nicer for our house.
This piece is nice and sturdy and BEAUTIFUL. I have recently been using a bar of soap as part of my face cleaning regimen and it’s nice to not have to put it in a used plastic cup, now it looks like it belongs in the bathroom. I also love having my lotion in a matching bottle/box on my counter-top. The tooth brush holder would be nice but it doesn’t fit our kind of tooth brushes, only Moo’s fit in it. So I’ve removed the metal plate and use it that way.
My bathroom is coming along very nicely and the Bamboo 3 Piece Accessory Kit- by ToiletTree Products is a perfect fit for my decor.
I would recommend this set for your bathroom. It’s very high quality and wont fall apart easily, it looks amazing and it’s friendly to our Earth.

Sniffle Buddies- review (CLOSED)
ABOUT-
“Sniffle Buddies started as a Mom’s answer to her child’s allergy problem. A cut up sock soon became a sweatband, and then developed into an eco-friendly, washable, bamboo velour wristband over elastic secured by velcro for easy on/off by the parent.”
Sniffle Buddies are hand assembled in the USA form 70% Organic Bamboo / 28% Organic Cotton / 2% poly. The fabric covers USA made elastic and is secured by USA made velcro.
Sniffle Buddies, LLC is happy to be a Green America Approved Business! And they come in 11 colors.
My Thoughts-
Before I start I want to make sure you all know that “Sniffle Buddies are NOT offered as a replacement for proper tissue use, NEVER for blowing your nose into, and intended for OUTDOOR playtime use unless they’re being utilized by a special needs individual or for indoor outdoor use for LIGHT drool”
I was interested in testing a Sniffle Buddies out for many reasons. One reason was we walk my daughter to school and almost everyday she would have the sniffles and I’d have to take my glove off, search around my pocket for a clean tissue and then after wiping her nose stuff it back into my pocket in hopes I don’t forget about it and remember to trow it away. With the Sniffle Buddies you have it on your arm, over your coat. You don’t have to take off your gloves and go fishing in your pocket. When you get home you take it off and put it in the laundry. Nice and simple and sanitary.
Another reason I was interested in the Sniffle Buddies was for Moo’s drooling while teething. Keeping bibs and wash clothes close by isn’t always easy but it you have the Sniffle Buddies on your arm it’s right there, even when you’re out shopping.
The last reason I was interested in trying this out was for Moo during allergy season. The reasoning is similar to the runny noses during winter and I couldn’t wait to try it out.
Once I received my Sniffle Buddies I read on the packaging that I could even wear it while working out for wiping my sweat. How cool is that? This has so many uses and with three different sizes and 11 different colors you are sure to find the Sniffle Buddies that fit your needs.

Sweet Dreams Bamboo- review
.jpg)
I recently won a giveaway from CoolCanucks for a Kings Sized Set of 320 Count Bamboo Bedsheets from Sweet Dreams Bamboo. I couldn’t be more excited and could not wait to get them.
We’ve been sleeping on our new bedsheets for almost a week now and I am in LOVE. They are so soft and have a “silky” feeling, I just melt into the bed. I’ve never slept so soundly before, I feel so relax. Now we just need to get a bamboo comforter and we’re set. The sheets came in a plastic case and wrapped with a nice ribbon that said “SweetDreamsBamboo”. It came with two pillow cases, a fitted sheet and a flat sheet.
I love that Sweet Dreams Bamboo is in Canada. They are also eco-friendly, “Hypoallergenic and Antibacterial, Breathable and Absorbent, Eco-friendly, Organically Grown.” I also had the privileged of being in contact with their customer service and I was very pleased with them.
I would soooo recommend everyone buying these sheets, if you want a good sleep they are for you.
They are having an amazing special right now for the month of May. “Get 50% off Duvet Covers with a purchase of our Bamboo Bed Sheet Sets. Free Shipping with every Bed Sheet or Duvet Cover Set.”
Some info about the company:
“Our mission is simple: to provide the best products and service to our customers at the lowest prices possible. We take great pride in our company, our commitment to customer service and in the products we sell. Our online store is designed to provide you with a safe and secure environment to browse our product catalog.”

Thank you CoolCanucks and Sweet Dreams Bamboo.
Our bed with just the sheets

Green Sproutlets clothing review
I was so very excited to be able to do a review on Green Sproutlets; Eco-friendly children’s clothing. The kind people at Green Sproutlets sent me a Layered Long Sleeves Tee- Pink Polka shirt for my baby. The first thing I thought of when I saw it was “cute and trendy”.
The shirt is made out of “70% Viscose from Bamboo for silky softness and 30% Organic Cotton for more substance.” And let me tell you this is very soft and has a cozy feeling. I love the layered look too, my baby looks very cute in it. This shirt is very high quality and looks like it will last a long time.
Green Sproutlets is a unique company. Instead of focusing on a lot of products they have brought together a small collection of quality clothing for children with cute color choices for boys and girls. And might I add that the packaging is recyclable which makes them a true “green” company in my books.
More about Green Sproutlets:
the Founders
Green Sproutlets was inspired by a husband and wife team who felt the need to provide their daughter and other children who have sensitive skin with soft, hypoallergenic, eco-friendly clothing, which promotes social and environmental awareness while being stylish and hip.
“These products are for our children, our future. They are the most important part of our lives, therefore they deserve to have the best ‘not harmful to mother-nature’ has to offer.” -Green Sproutlets
the Company
Green Sproutlets is a web-based infant and toddler apparel and accessories store focusing on positive attitudes to make socially and environmentally responsible clothing for our kids. To encourage the children to celebrate their positive self-expression and self-identification.
the Products
Our products are eco-friendly, using mainly certified bamboo, organic cotton, and other sustainable fabrics such as soy or hemp. We use water-based ink for our printing and low impact dyes. Absolutely no pesticides, lead or any other harmful chemicals. Certified lead-free. Making them safer for the children and the environment.
Our design patterns are modern/contemporary and hip. Being natural doesn’t mean that we have to be boring!
If you you live close or are in the area of State Convention and Trade Center on June 5 and 6, 2010 you can check out the Green Sproutlets booth #654 at the Green Festival. Or or near San Jose McEnery Convention Center-South Hall on June 26 and 27, 2010 you can check out them at the Generation Green Expo.

Kicky Pants- Review
I was very excited to receive my package from the people at Kicky Pants today. I love they style of their clothes online and just had to see what they were like for myself. As i opened the package I saw the cute colors and pattern on a pair of pants they sent me and THEN I picked them up. They are soooo soft and almost silky feeling, the pants even have a slight stretchiness to them. They are light weight and look like they would be so comfy (kind of wish they had them in my size). When we got home I put them on my 10 month old and they looked even cuter to me. The stretchy fit even made it easy for her to crawl around and move freely.
I’m excited to get more clothing from Kicky Pants. Their clothes are cute and functional for my little one. I also recommend these clothes to everyone. Thank you Kicky Pants for letting me do this review.
Below is more about Kicky Pants:
“A comfortable and incredibly sustainable bamboo clothing line ideal for mothers and babies, Kicky Pants offers playful and charming styles while being extraordinarily breathable, soft and cozy for all seasons. Kicky Pants was created in 2009 when Erin Cloke was on bed rest while pregnant with her second child. Challenged to find age-appropriate clothing for her boys, she was inspired to design a line that would “celebrate innocence,” and be eco-friendly at an affordable cost. All fabrics and designs are exclusive to Kicky Pants, and the process is maintained from the fabric mill to the finish.
Why Bamboo?
• Bamboo is an eco-friendly, sustainable crop for various reasons
– Bamboo grows quickly – It is among the fastest growing plants in the world, reaching close to full height in about 100 days in the right weather conditions.
– Bamboo has an inherent ability to retain water and does not require irrigation
– Bamboo has a unique anti-bacterial, antifungal property that aids the plants in fighting off disease and insects that would require the use of fertilizers or pesticides
– The bamboo used to create the Kicky Pants raw material is grown in a fully sustainable process (byproduct is returned to the land to biodegrade) on land where no other crops will grow
• Bamboo fabric takes on the unique qualities of the plant, making it naturally antibacterial, antifungal and antistatic
• Bamboo has a natural wicking ability, keeping baby warm, dry and odor free
• Bamboo can be naturally soft and silky without additional chemical processing (the process used to create fabric for Kicky Pants is 100% natural and organic), making it the perfect match for baby’s delicate skin
• Bamboo fiber is completely biodegradable, meaning the special Kicky Pants blend is as close to nature as possible
Designed for Comfort and Convenience
• The Kicky Pants blend is the only one of its kind. It’s 95% bamboo and 5% lycra, giving it more natural softness than any other bamboo line. It has just enough stretch/give to make it easy to pull over baby’s head.
• Because of the high percentage of bamboo used in their unique fabric, Kicky Pants Bamboo Basics take on a unique well-worn look that adds character and cozy softness to the unique fabric.
• Coveralls are designed in a Capri length for easy crawling and walking without tripping
• A super cute diaper=checking panel frees parents of unnecessary garment removal to see if the baby needs changing
• All pieces in the Kicky Pants Bamboo Basics collection are designed to be interchangeable, so no more searching for matching pieces since all colors and styles can be mixed and matched.
A Special Note
• Kicky Pants is family owned and operated by Erin and Nick Cloke who have a hand in every detail. For example, they receive the raw materials (assembled pieces) in Las Angeles and have them dyed at a low-impact reactive dye house. In this way they are able to create unique colors (all of the colors were lab dipped and created especially for Kicky Pants) and ensure that dyes are of the best quality while having the least impact on the environment.”
