Ozone Designer Fashion Socks Review and Giveaway

Ozone Design is devoted entirely to putting fashion and fun into socks and tights... to bring spirit and passion to one of the most intimate and neglected parts of our wardrobe.

Who knew socks could be so exciting and fun right? I ran across Ozone socks and I knew I wanted some. All my socks were boring. So I picked out some cute numbers to jazz things up a little and give some fun to my winter wardrobe. I have to tell you that something totally unexpected happened- I got a compliment from my husband! For those of you that think this is no big deal, he is not the type that gives them out very frequently! He actually saw me wearing my Ozone short socks and said, "I like your socks" as he was walking by. No solicitation at all. I was impressed. If my husband noticed my socks, I can't wait to show them off to fashion forward people!


I also got a pair of fun Ozone knee high socks. These are super cute and fun for wearing with a skirt and still keeping my legs warm or wearing on a snowy day under my pants to stay extra toasty warm.


I love all of the different pattens Ozone has to choose from- just endless! They also have over the knee socks, tights and men's socks too!

Teatulia 100% Organic Tea Review and Giveaway

I love tea. I suppose it is the English blood in me! I recently discovered Teatulia- 100% organic, ultra premium, hand-picked, single estate tea. Sounds good right? I thought so too! They offer a line of nine different varieties of organic teas and herbal infusions including Teatulia Black, Teatulia Green, Teatulia White, Earl of Bengal, Bengal Breakfast, Neem Nectar, Tulsi Infusion, Lemongrass Herbal Infusion, and Ginger Herbal Infusion. No pesticides, machinery or unnatural irrigation are used in the cultivation of Teatulia tea. I also love Teatulia's sustainable packaging which consists of compostable tubes, labels made from post-consumer paper, water-based inks and dyes, and biodegradable silken pyramid tea bags.

While ongoing research is being conducted on the health benefits of tea, studies
suggest a relationship between regular tea consumption and:
Reduced risk of heart disease, heart attack and stroke
Reduced risk of certain cancers
The prevention of blood clots
Lowered cholesterol
Improved oral health
Improved bone health and reduced risk of osteoporosis
Strengthened immune system
Decreased risk of developing kidney stones

I love all tea but since I am pregnant, I am trying to stick to herbal infusions or white and green tea which are naturally super low in caffeine. I was able to try Teatulia's Caffeine-Free Ginger Herbal Infusion which was a loose leaf mix of small, delicate ginger bits with broken Vasaka leaf.
"Bold, broad spiciness. Initial sips are a lovely intense pronounced flavor, spicy and peppery with sweet overtones. Mellows after three minutes in the cup with just the right amount of heat. Nice any time, but especially after a meal."
I found it to be very nice and well balanced without too much spice or pungency but with plenty of flavor.


I also tried Teatulia 100% Organic White Tea in the pyramid tea bags with white tea half-inch needles.
"Delicately rich with a hint of peach. Excellent choice for starting off a hot summer day or relaxing in the early evening. Also a perfect choice for those new to tea-- the sweet, subtle flavor is a lovely introduction to the world of tea."
I found the white tea to be extremely rich in flavor compared to many white teas I have tried. It was really lovely and I actually used each tea bag for three brews. They were just so full of flavor I couldn't waste any!

Teatulia's Organic Green Tea is some of the best I have had.
"Medium body with a grassy, fresh, slightly vegetal flavor. Slightly astringent finish with a refreshing cooling quality. Perfect any time of day for green tea lovers."
I loved the flavor of this green tea. It was very full bodied and again so full of flavor that I got three brewings out of a single bag. I think the Teatulia tea is so full of flavor because it is so fresh. There is no middle man, no bulk buying tea warehouses so it comes directly to the customer in a very fresh state. The result is really lovely, full flavor on all the teas I tried.

GIVEAWAY DETAILS: Teatulia will provide one lucky reader with THREE canisters of organic Teatulia Tea (16 tea bags in each canister) The winner will be able to select the teas. (Approximate retail value $30.)

Giveaway Dates: December 10- December 27, 2010 Midnight CST

Enfusia and Cocoon Organic Skincare Products

My skin always gets really dry in the winter, especially my hands so I love a good quality lotion that really protects and heals. That is why I was pleased to discover Enfusia's line of organic bath and body products as well as Cocoon, their organic bath and body care for kids.

"Enfusia’s® line of bath and body products are made with organic and natural botanical ingredients and extracts. For centuries, plants, herbs, and essential oils have been used for the vitamins and nutrients they deliver to the skin. We fragrance with 100% pure essential oils. Essential oils have aromatherapeutic properties that benefit the body, mind, and soul. All of our products are sulfate, paraben & wax free. Our line of luxurious and soothing organic products has expanded to address the special needs of the most precious and sensitive skin of all… a child’s. The Cocoon line of organic products includes a hair and body wash, a gentle moisturizing lotion, and soothing massage oil."

Enfusia organic bath and body care for women includes Organic Body Lotion in 8 different concoctions, Organic Body Wash in 6 different scents, Spa Bars, Dead Sea Salts & Scrub, Pink Ribon Collection and Fizz & Foam Bath Bombs. I find a nice warm bath so relaxing and great for taking off the winter chill. I was able to try the pink grapfruit Fizz & Foam Bath Bomb. It comes wrapped like a present in a fancy patterned cellophane. My daughter spotted it right away. "Ooohh...What's this mama?" "That's for me!" I told her! It is huge and I broke it into two parts. The bath bomb is really fun for bathing because not only does it have a lovely relaxing scent but it effervesces while you bath and little tiny bubbles collect on your skin! Then of course, your skin gets to soak up all the good essential oils that are in the bath bombs while you enjoy the treat. My daughter ended up getting to enjoy the rest of the bomb since she kept requesting it! She loved the way it fizzed and I was glad she got so much enjoyment out of it even though I didn't really want to part with it! Enfusia's Organic Fizz & Foam Bath Bombs come in 12 different scents and they make excellent gifts.

My kids also enjoyed getting to sample Cocoon Organic Baby Moisturizing Body Lotion and Cocoon Organic Baby Body & Hair Wash. I love that Cocoon products are not only organic but also paraben, phthalate and sulfate free. The gentle body and hair wash is enriched with organic oils and herbal extracts. Cocoon is glucose based and is formulated for eczema and dermatitis which is great for my son's sensitive skin. Cocoon's delicious scent - a combination of organic chamomile, lavender and lemongrass organic essential oils - was picked by kids and my kids really liked the smell of it too! I loved that the Cocoon moisturizer has organic unrefined shea butter butter and aloe. Cocoon's moisturizer not only aides the skin in moisture retention but helps protect it from the environmental elements. It is great for helping to prevent my son's mild eczema. I also really enjoyed the way it felt on my hands as well as the scent of the organic pure chamomile, lavender and lemongrass organic essential oils.

Enfusia didn't forget Men either! They have a complete organic men's bath and body care line too! Now is a great time to check out Enfusia because they have a special offer going on. Free Shipping on your order of $25 or more on Enfusia.com now through December 17, 2010.

BrightBin Waste-Free Lunch Boxes Make a Difference

BrightBin is dedicated to packing waste-free lunches! This company was developed by a mommy who after having packed many school lunches with wasteful plastic bags, became fed up. She decided to develop a product that would make our schools “greener”, make families more environmentally responsible, and be super easy and convenient for those of us packing the lunches. No more plastic bags, no more lids and containers that become mismatched or get lost, no more washing out reusable bags! Plus kids can keep their favorite insulated lunch bag like their Hello Kitty, Spiderman, or whatever else it might be. It doesn’t get any better, easier, or “greener” than this when it comes to packing lunch each day! BrightBin Waste Free Lunch boxes is 100% committed to changing the way kids bring a packed lunch to school.

BrightBin developed the New Generation Lunch Box:
· Flexible! Comes with a handle to be used as a lunch box on its own or it can be used as an insert inside a child’s favorite insulated lunch carrier. Fits inside all cloth lunch carriers.
· Replaces plastic bags and small food storage containers.
· Simple! One unit with no lids or extra pieces to get lost or forgotten in the cafeteria.
· Two level lunch box with divided built-in compartments and a sandwich/entrée compartment on top.
· 100% FREE of BPA, phthalates, lead, and PVC guaranteed.
· Convenient! Dishwasher and microwave safe.
· Save money! No more buying plastic bags or replacements for lost lids.
· Save time! No more searching the cabinets to find matching lids and containers or fumbling with plastic bags.

Why are waste-free lunch boxes so important?

Fact: The average student bringing a packed lunch to school generates 67 pounds of food packaging waste.

Fact: The average elementary school generates 18,760 pounds of disposable lunch waste each year.

Fact: The average packed lunch utilizes 4-5 plastic bags each day. This adds up to over 1000 plastic bags used each year by one student.

Fact: From K-8th grade, one student bringing a lunch each day with disposable packaging will use over 9000 plastic bags!

Fact: Plastic bags and disposable snack bags in school lunches cost families over $80 per year per child.

Fact: Lids and small food storage containers get lost and left behind on the cafeteria lunch table. Replacing them is costly.

BrightBin offers the Next Generation Lunch Box by itself or with insulated carriers. There is also a decorate-your-own lunch bag that comes with The New Generation Lunch Box inside. My daughter has this and she loves to decorate her lunch bag with the non-toxic washable markers. We both love packing an environmentally friendly lunch each day and I know it builds the foundation within her for valuing her environment and behaving responsibly. You can check out the BrightBin website and follow BrightBin on Facebook to keep up with BrightBin sales and giveaways!
