The website says:

Finally a fogless mirror that actually remains clear in the shower – and sticks to the wall!

Our patent-pending design is simple yet most effective. Fill the mirror’s reservoir with hot water from your shower head and you’re done.  It’s ideal for close shaves, cleansing and exfoliating, removing make-up, tweezing and more.  No chemicals or special coatings required. Our shower mirror is designed to remain fogless and maintenance-free for a lifetime.  No more cleaning up messy, hair-filled sinks.  No more standing over your sink dripping wet while you shave, tweeze, or remove your make-up. Get it all done in the shower and be done!

Features:

• Truly Fogless:  Uses an easy fill reservoir where water neutralizes the mirror and air temperature to eliminate fogging.
• Easy Fill Reservoir:  Easily detach mirror to fill with hot water.
• Adheres to virtually an wall surface:  Uses soft silicone to attach to wall surfaces.  It is strong, easy to remove, and will not damage tiles or other surfaces.
• Adjustable Frame:  The frame pivots up and down to accommodate users of different heights or angles.
• Convenient Shelf:  Holds razor, sponge, or tweezers so they are always accessible.
• Squeegee included:  Slides in and out to wipe away water drops.
• Shatter Proof & Rust Proof:  Frame is a durable, acrylic mirror that will not rust, discolor or damage bathroom tiles.
• Measures 6.5 x 8.5 x 1.5 inches and weighs less than 1 lb.

We are loving this mirror and I will have to say my husband is really LOVING this mirror, he can not believe how well it works, he really loves it for shaving.   We have attached it to the shower and he can use it for shaving right there.   The ToiletTree Fogless mirror uses silicone which is like a glue substance that you stick on your tile and then you attach the mirror, and it is holding it.  It has not fallen off once which really amazes me, almost everything I have ever tried to stick in the shower falls off shortly after putting it there.   To use the mirror all you have to do is lift it off, fill it with hot water and snap it back on.  The hot water is the trick as that is what keeps it from fogging up!  Then if you do get spots on it or didn’t fill it with hot water, just use the attached squeegee to wipe it clean.  There is a shelf that is included and will hold 2 razors.

I think this is a great mirror for the shower and it really works, no fog!

 You can buy the ToiletTree Fogless Mirror for $29.95 through Amazon.

GIVEAWAY: I’m giving one ToiletTree Fogless Mirror away:  Just leave a comment.  Open to US residents only.  Contest ends Wednesday September 8th, 2010 at midnight eastern time.

 This post was written for Family Review Network & ToiletTree who provided the complimentary product in exchange for my honest review. 

Most kids have just had their first day of school, even for us homeschoolers many of us are starting our school year, going back to coops and special activities.  Regardless if you are going to a regular school or other places this fall it won’t be long until cold season and as we experienced last year with swine flu germs are everyhere.   Millions of school days are lost each year due to the common cold and flu.  The surfaces at school are covered in bacteria! According to Seventh Generation survey, 82 percent of parents with kids in grades K-5 fret about the germs in their children´s classrooms.  They are everywhere.

I have always loved Dr. Greenes website, his site has helped me understand so many questions I have had about my child’s health.  Seventh Generation and best-selling author and pediatrician, Dr. Alan Greene shared some tips to help parents protect their child´s health during back-to-school season. Dr. Greene suggests taking the following precautions:

* Reap the benefits of probiotics like those found in yogurt. A recent study showed that children who received enough probiotics daily throughout the cold and flu season had a significant reduction in the number of illnesses they had and, when they did get sick, the symptoms were both milder and didn’t last as long.

* Be sure your child is getting plenty of vitamin D from the sun, from food, or from a supplement.

* Build a strong foundation. Good food, good sleep, and good physical activity all help the immune system to flourish.

* Teach children the key times to clean their hands in the classroom. The most important times include after sneezing, coughing or using the restroom, upon leaving “high-risk” places (recess, naptime, play stations) and before meals or snacks.

* Sixty percent of teachers surveyed said that they request that parents donate disinfecting wipes to the classroom. Seventh Generation´s disinfecting wipes kill 99.99% of germs* naturally using the active ingredient thyme, a component of thyme oil which is derived from the herb thyme.

* Stress the importance of not touching their eyes, nose or mouth. Germs are often spread when a person touches something that is contaminated with germs and then touches his or her eyes, nose, or mouth

I received a wonderful Back to School pack containing and a fun backpack, 2 containers of wipes, tissues, paper towels and cleanser. You can donate some or all to your school or like me (homeschooler) put some in your school room.  MyBlogSpark and Seventh Generation would like to give one reader a package for themselves.  Just leave a comment telling me how you fight off germs for your family.  Contest open to US residents and ends Wed September 1st at midnight eastern time.

We love bbq sauce around here so when we received a new kind to try we couldn’t wait.   Herman T’s BBQ Sauce Mix is a special blend of spices to make the perfect sauce to complement any food, you can cover your meat in a marinade or you can just dip it.  We tried ours with chicken nuggets one day and put some on a burger another.  This is some GOOD stuff!   Add ketchup and water and cook it a bit on the stove.  You can also just use the mix as a dry rub on the meat.   This mixes up so good, has a great texture and is great to taste.  Honestly I have nothing negative to say about it, you have to try it!

Herman T. Jones is Brian Lewis’ grandfather.  Lewis went to culinary school and decided to take his grandfather’s recipe and make a mix so you could always have fresh BBQ sauce.  The website has a great video showing you how he makes it and you get to learn the history of the sauce.

To mix up the sauce just as the recipe called for (1 tablespoon of mix, 1/2 cup of water, 1/2 cup of ketchup) and simmer it on the stove.  This is fresh sauce so no more germs on the bottle or sauce that has been sitting around too long.  FRESH everytime!  If you like a spicy sauce they have spicy too! 

One of you will win a 2 pack of Herman T’s BBQ Sauce Mix (one pouch of mild, one pouch of spicy)!  To enter: Just leave a comment telling me if you like your bbq sauce orginal or spicy.  Contest ends Friday August 13th 2010 at midnight eastern time.

“I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Breyers and received products necessary to facilitate my review. In addition, I received a gift certificate to thank me for taking the time to participate.”

We LOVE smores around here and we really love them in the summer when we are grilling out.  There is nothing like sitting out on the deck while evening is setting in and we grill the marshmallows over the grill with that WONDERFUL chocolate, we LOVE them!  You can have smores anytime but I think of Summer everytime I think of smores probably because it is a very summer thing for us.  

Check out this site to find out recipes ,how to make smores and much more.   www.SmoresSmiles.com

Disclosure:  I am entering a contest for a S’mores prize pack as a member of the Mom Bloggers Club.

  I received a free sample of Snikiddy Snacks BAKED Fries in the mail to try.  I received the Cheddar Cheese flavor and they were good. 

I was glad this was a healthier fry then most but I was afraid they wouldn’t taste as good either.  But they were very tasty and then it made the fact that they are healthier even better.  They were crunchy and had a great cheddar flavor to them.   I have really been trying to make healthier choices lately (my health depends on it) and am about to really make some major changes.  It is so nice when you can have snacks at your fingertips that are better for you.  I LOVE that these snacks are:

• All Natural
• Gluten-free
• Wheat-free
• No corn syrup
• Peanut-free
• No preservatives
• No trans fats
• No hydrogenated oils
• 50% less fat than potato chips

In addition to the Fries, Snikiddy also offers puffs (similar to cheese curls and cheese balls) in various flavors. 

Right now, if you go to Snikiddy Snack’s Facebook page, you can enter their sweepstakes (by clicking on the sweepstakes tab).  By filling out the sweepstakes form, you will be entering for a chance to win the weekly drawing for a Snikiddy gift basket or the grand prize- a Jamis kids’ bike.

Snikiddy Snacks sell for $1.79 for a 4.5 oz bag.  Check out the deals at Snikiddy.Alice.com  Snikiddy Snacks can also be found at local retailers, such as Whole Foods and Kroger or Toys R Us and Babies R Us.

I am giving a bag away.  Just go to snikiddy snacks website and tell me what looks good to you.  Contest is open to US Residents and ends Wed July 28th at midnight eastern time.

For many of my followers you may not know that I have another blog where I share about my Family, Faith and Homeschooling.  If you haven’t checked it out yet please do, I have this contest going on over there.  www.angelarichter.com

I received such a fun box of goodies from Carolina Pad. Just in time for back to school planning. As a homeschooler I LOVE school products, I could spend hours in the aisles of back to school sales just taking it all in (I know totally pathetic but I bet many of my readers are the same way, LOL) I received a calendar, pens, pencils, a couple of different notebooks and folders. They all came from the collections I mention below. I truly LOVE all of these collections, they are colorful, vibrant and fun! My children were excited too, yelling that one is mine-to tell you the truth I don’t want to give them UP! But I guess they are for the student, LOL. However they are stylish enough for student and adult. I really like how the pencils are made with real quality and the pens are fat and colorful, very easy to hold. The products are sturdy and have easy to tear off paper.

You can purchase the Carolina Pad products at Walmart and prices range according to item. The prices rang from $2.50 to $4.00 generally.

I like what Carolina Pad core value system is:

Build brands that meet the needs and wants of today’s consumer.
Anticipate and exceed consumer expectations.
Strive for design excellence in every product.
Deliver products with superior functionality and value.
Foster and encourage innovation, creativity, and teamwork in our company.
Promote a healthier and safer workplace, community, and environment.

I’m so excited that I get to give a box of goodies away, you will get one item from each collection like I did.   Just go to Here to my other blog to enter.

 Outlast is a hand sanitzer that lasts up to six hours.  I love to keep a bottle of sanitzer with me at all times.  You never know where your going to be when you need hand sanitzer, it is great to use at the grocery store, before you eat, and especially public restrooms or public parks. 

This hand sanitizer is liquid form and it dries very quick on the hands.  Most of the smells from sanitzers are very strong but this one is not which is nice.  There is no residual stickiness or wetness to deal with.  I love how it is in a rounder bottle then most too.

While some germs can live on surfaces for more than 2 hours, most alcohol-based hand sanitizers only work for 2 minutes.

• The neat thing about OutLast^TM Long-Lasting Hand Sanitizer is that it works for up to 6 hours.  Leading hand sanitizers only last two minutes.
• OutLast^TM Long-Lasting Hand Sanitizer is alcohol-based, so it kills 99.99% of germs instantly.
• OutLast^TM Long-Lasting Hand Sanitizer has a patented formula developed by researchers at Columbia University Medical School.
• Surgeons and other healthcare professionals have used the OutLast^TM Long-Lasting Hand Sanitizer formula in hospitals for years.
• You might think that a hand sanitizer used in hospitals may be rough on your kids’ hands, but OutLast^TM Long-Lasting Hand Sanitizer has moisturizers and leaves hands feeling silky and not sticky.
• Other hand sanitizers may end up costing more in the long run because they only last 2 minutes.
• Healthcare specialists agree that hand washing is the single most effective way to prevent the transmission of disease.  When soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
• OutLast^TM Long-Lasting Hand Sanitizer is sold online at www.outlastgerms.com and by telephone at 1-800-716-2420.

I also received a clipa, these are handy little clips with some great uses.  Clipa is the ingenious purse hanger that keeps your purse off the ground. Simply clip it to your handbag strap and leave it there.

I recently received a pocket purifier to review.  This thing is very handy, do you worry about germs when you go out?  I try not to be crazy over it but I will admit after getting swine flu last year and my whole entire family being so sick it made me a little more paranoid about germs.  Now I know many germs are in the air and there is nothing we can do about them anyway but many are on surfaces that we touch everyday.  Grocery carts, public toilets and sinks, phones, and so much more.   Even if you carry soap around you can’t be putting it on constantly so having a tool like the pocket purifier helps. 

This is how it works:

The Pocket Purifier uses nanotechnology and a germicidal UV bulb (the same as is used to sterilize surgical instruments) to kill 99.9% of germs.  It works by deactivating the DNA of germs such as salmonella, MRSA, mold, fungus, e-coli, flu, etc.

Now, I will be honest, there is no way I can verify that it works.  It would be great if you could do an experiment somehow to see if it is killing germs but I did like these facts:

The company equipped a medical missions team going to Haiti after the earthquake with Pocket Purifiers to make their job in extreme conditions a bit easier. EMT teams are also using them.  Also LPGA Tour Pro Natalie Gulbis, their spokesperson, keeps it in her golf bag and uses it all the time because she travels so much. http://www.purelyproducts.com/this-is-purely/natalie.aspx.

I always love to see companies that help out the disadvantage. 

Also, please know that a percentage of every Purely Products purchase supports www.diaperLove.org – a non-profit that provides diapers to children in need. 

 This product uses 4 AA batteries, they come in pink or black. 

Great news!  Purely Products is giving one of my readers the chance to win their own SunMate, valued at $19.95. The SunMate is a very helpful tool for families, as it helps you to measure the sun’s ultraviolet strength in a flash.  It’s a small, very compact tool that lights up to let you know how dangerous the sun’s rays are .  All you have to do is push the button on the top.  Just visit Visit Purely Products, and tell me which product interests you the most.  Contest is open to US and Canadian Residents.  Ends Wed July 21st at midnight eastern time
