Wrapped Up Review Wednesday Palm-Palms Baby Bath Grips Review & Giveaway

The great folks from Palm-palms baby bath grips sent me a pair of palm-palms to try and a few to give away. How cool is that?!!? When I first saw this product I did one of the many "Man, I wish my princess wasn't so big! Where were these when she was a baby?!!?" Palm-palms remind me of sweat bands in a way but they have a thumb hole incorporated in them and they are super soft! Not only do they make it easier to hold on to that precious little bundle that becomes slick as all get out once you add water but they can also be used to lather up said slippery one! Seriously, isn't that the coolest idea? Since my daughter is a bit too big for me to give them an accurate testing I sent a pair over to my sister to try out on my nephew who is just a bit over a year old. As it turned out my brother in law is the person who is mainly in charge of bath time at their house so he gave them a whirl. My bil reported that they were just a bit snug. Now please don't be at all concerned by that assessment. Did I mention that my bil is a giant among men at 6'8"? He has hands and feet that resemble small boats so I think palm-palms would have no problem fitting a "normal" (sorry Larry!) sized person! That said he thought the palm-palms definitely added a bit of grip and liked that aspect. All in all palm-palms were a winner! Oh, I forgot, they're also machine washable! I definitely plan on getting palm-palms for any new mommies I know of! Its definitely in my top 5 list of great items to own! As I said the great people at palm-palms have sent two extra pairs for me to give away. One white set and one pink set.

So how do you win a pair of palm-palms baby bath grips? Go to the Palm-palms site and look around

Wrapped Up Review Wednesday

Have you ever used one of those products that you instantly fell in love with?!!!? It works wonderfully, its good for you/your child, its eco friendly. All those things are very important to me. Its also very important that my princess gets to act like the princess she is. One of her favorites is getting her nails painted (it might be because I started painting her toe nails at 6 weeks of age!) I've never had a problem with doing her toe nails since she wasn't ever one of those kiddos who stuck her foot anywhere near her mouth. Unfortunately painted toe nails only wasn't enough to satisfy the Princess. This is where my dilemma came in. How could I paint her nails knowing that she would have her fingers near her mouth? I shouldn't have her brush her teeth or have any finger food? Not going to happen. That said I just couldn't get over putting all of those chemicals on her fingers and be ok it with. Drum roll please! Enter Piggy Paint!!! This stuff is amazing! Before I tell you about our trial run with Piggy Paint here is some information about it.

Why is Piggy Paint™ Nail Polish the safe nail polish choice for children?

Non-toxic
Odorless
Water-based formula
Hypoallergenic
Fun, vibrant colors
Dries to a hard, durable finish
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, biphenyl A, ethyl acetate and acetone. Click here to see how our polish compares!

How is Piggy Paint™ as “Natural as Mud”?
Piggy Paint is as “Natural as Mud” in the sense that every ingredient in the polish is biodegradable with no traces or residues left behind, thus it would make an excellent addition to your mulch pile or as a feed for farm animals.

Our water-based nail polish is non-toxic, environmentally safe, hypoallergenic, with an odor that is extremely low, nearly nonexistent. It has the same look and durability performance as traditional kid polishes, but without the drawbacks of foul odors, toxicity, and damage to our environment and to your little ones’ nails.

Honestly, does it get any better than that?!!!? Add to it that this nail polish is a pure delight to use and its truly amazing! My daughter has very ridged nails for some unknown reason and nail polish has never adhered well to her nails. The night we test ran Piggy Paint we sat down and put a coat on her fingers and toes. This stuff dries so quickly I was completely amazed! A few minutes later I put on a second coat and again it was super fast to dry. My daughter was thrilled with her matching fingers and toes and I had no guilt over it being on her precious little body! The polish stayed pretty for almost a week! This was the start of our love affair with Piggy Paint.

The great folks over at Piggy Paint have given me a 3 pack of Piggy Paint Polishes to share with one incredibly lucky Savvy SAHM Review reader!

Wrapped Up Review Wednesday Skoy Cloth Giveaway

As we come close to the end of the Better living giveaway I decided to keep up with the green cleaning theme for my reviews. I was sent a sample of Skoy Cloths from Michelle at http://www.skoycloth.com/. Here is a description straight from the Skoy website:

SKOY cloth is a ...
100% biodegradable
Absorbent
Re-usable
European-made
Clean
And Fun…
Multi-use cloth

The SKOY cloth is a fabulous, absorbent, biodegradable and natural multi-use cloth. Our re-usable earth friendly cloth is perfect in your kitchen, bathroom, and on most surface areas in your home or office. SKOY cloth can be used in place of your sponge, wash cloth or paper towels.
It is a European made product and 100% biodegradable because it is made from a natural cotton and wood-based cellulose pulp. SKOY cloth is a chlorine-free product using water-based colors and inks. After an independent composting test, SKOY cloth broke down completely within 5 weeks.
The SKOY cloth is a durable product due to the reusability factor and can last months. Using a SKOY cloth is equivalent to using 15 rolls of paper towels in an average home. With the high cost of paper towels, at least $2 a roll, SKOY cloth is the obvious choice for your wallet and the environment.
The SKOY cloth has an absorption factor of 15x its own weight. As a result, producing the most superior cloth product available. Imagine using 15 sheets of good-quality paper towels at once… This is how a wet SKOY cloth will feel in your hand.
The SKOY cloth is long-lasting because of the wash ability feature. It dries quickly, so it is not a breeding ground for bacteria. Have you ever used your sponge, then smelled your hand and it reeked of horrible bacteria? That will never happen again if you microwave your SKOY cloth regularly. It is also dishwasher and washer/dryer safe. Cleaning your SKOY cloth will keep it healthy and germ-free. Please see Use & Care for instructions.
The cool and unique designs will make cleaning fun! SKOY Enterprises plans to launch new designs in early 2008.

After using Skoy cloths during cleaning around my house I have to say that I'm completely in love with them! They are incredibly absorbent, wash very well and don't leave little bits of lint. I've been keeping one by my kitchen sink and using the other for cleaning the bathrooms. Everything that Skoy Cloth advertises on their home page is true! They dry very quickly so you don't have that damp ick smell, they are super absorbent and they're great for the planet and your pocketbook! Honestly, does it get any better than that? You can order Skoy cloths from the Skoy website and they even offer a subscription option that has free shipping! Once again, does it get any better?!!?

Now for those of you who are relatively new to the green cleaning movement perhaps you aren't sure of some of the reasons that green cleaning is a much better healthier way to clean. A quick crash course here! (If you'd like more information feel free to use the contact button to email me and I'll point you in the right direction!) First and foremost the best reason to use green cleaning supplies is that there aren't any negative side/health affects. The HUGE majority of cleaning agents used in the US are not tested or regulated in any way. Do you really want to be cleaning your house with something that you have to use in a well ventilated area? For most things you can a very comparable cleaning solution using a combination of water, vinegar, baking soda & essential oils. Nothing in that is going to hurt you! If making your own solutions isn't your thing you have great companies life Better Life that offers incredible green cleaning supplies that are already made! One of the things I've noticed since I've been doing exclusive green cleaning in my house is that I LIKE cleaning (at least more than I did before!). I know that I'm not harming myself, my daughter or the planet. I know that I'm teaching my daughter to respect the earth and all of that makes for a happy self!

Now back to Skoy Cloths. I've already told you how well they work. Lets discuss the environmental impact. I don't know if I could ever completely give up the use of paper towels but having Skoy Cloths on hand certainly makes it much much easier to reduce my paper towel usage. In all actuality the Skoy Cloths are nicer because they are thicker and you don't worry about them tearing. All in all they're a great product to have in your home! So now that I've got you all excited about Skoy Cloths I figure I should give you a chance to try them for yourself! One lucky Savvy SAHM Review Reader is going to be the lucky recipient of a 4 pack of Skoy Cloths!
