The Eco Story...

Eco Touch was founded by James Dudra and Anne Ruozzi, two environmental entrepreneurs from Portsmouth, NH. In 2003, while studying in college, Dudra held a business internship in drought-stricken Sydney, Australia where he learned that cars are cleaned without using water. In 2007, with the U.S. facing pending water restrictions, James and Anne decided to launch their own company. They introduced to consumers everywhere the first eco-friendly line of waterless car wash and detailing products.

Together Dudra and Ruozzi are committed to providing vehicle owners everywhere with superior car care products that do not harm the planet or the user. From the original waterless car wash, the company’s product line has grown to now include 6 other green car care products: a dashboard protectant, carpet and upholstery cleaner, metal polish, all purpose cleaner, window cleaner and microfiber towel pack.

Eco Touch has also made enormous strides in its mission to educate consumers that it is possible to enjoy a clean car, boat or rv without using harsh synthetic chemicals. Eco Touch is committed to clean cars and a non-contaminated environment. The company has been featured in many prominent media outlets such as National Geographic, Treehugger.com, The New York Times and Body + Soul.

Eco Touch products are now carried in 200+ specialty retail stores nationwide and online at Amazon.com, Detailing.com and ecotouch.net.

Thanks to Eco Touch I get to give away one of these Car Kits!

Arcade Speedball Game Review and Giveaway...

Thanks to HearthSong I got to review this fun Arcade Speedball Game! I love how it lights up and makes you feel like you are at the arcade! We all loved playing this at my house! Thanks HearthSong for the great products!

Arcade Speedball Game...

This game's got all the bells and whistles of a real arcade game! The spring-loaded launcher sends the six balls rocketing down the almost 3-foot-long alley; it's your job to aim for holes with the most points.

The game keeps score for you on a digital readout and via fun, flashing, colored lights and exuberant electronic beeps-and even returns the balls to you.
Thrilling for 1 - 4 players.

Sock Grams Review and Giveaway...

Thanks to Sock Grams I got to review a pair of their fun socks! To go along with Nov. I picked these fun turkey socks! Turkeys and pilgrim hats are all over these fun turkey socks. Great for Thanksgiving, but hey, if you know someone who is crazy for turkeys, send them these turkey socks any ol' day! 51% Cotton, 45% Nylon, 3% Spandex, 1% Rubber. Fit size 4-10. I love that they came with a card and message and spa foot balm! Thanks Sock Grams!

More about Sock Grams...
Sock Grams was born out of the desire to send a greeting to a loved one, along with a small gift. They often wanted to send a greeting card, to celebrate an important milestone our friends and loved ones reached, but Sock Grams wanted to send a little something more than just a card. They also wanted to ensure the gift would last and, most importantly, be in acknowledgement of something that was important or of interest to the person they were giving it to. Novelty socks, in the myriad of patterns and colors was their answer!!!

They found a world of novelty socks that fit all areas of interest, patterns and colors. They found so many that were fun, fashionable and downright humorous!

With the artistic talent of friends at Brainmusic Design they have developed their own greeting cards for you to choose from. They wanted to make sure their customers could personalize these gifts, so they include a component to add personalized greetings and/or salutations.

In their search to make the Sock Gram package special and add a pampering component, they found a Medi-Spa Foot Balm. In each Sock Gram they include a .25 fl oz packet of Foot Balm. This Foot Balm was developed more than 60 years ago, specifically to treat feet. It can help relieve pressure of swollen and tired feet and speed healing of blisters and minor abrasions.

So, what does a Sock Gram include? Your personally chosen novelty socks - as many pairs as you'd like to send. One specially chosen greeting card, with a personal message, if you so choose. One .25 fl oz packet of Foot Balm. Your specially wrapped gift with tissue paper inside a durable, waterproof, blue metallic envelope.

Thanks to Sock Grams
I get to give one winner a pair of turkey socks!

Rubbermaid Lockits Review...

Thanks to Rubbermaid I got to review their Lockits. I love
that these stack on top of each other! I also like that they snap and hold the items in secure and keep them nice and fresh. Perfect to get my pantry organized and in order.

More about the Lock-Its Canisters...

The modular canisters stack on top of one another and work with Lock-its food storage containers to save room in your pantry and refrigerator.
