Massage Your Feet And Legs With Every Step

I know it is the end of summer and fall is in full bloom, well not really since not much of anything is really blooming now. But you know what I mean. So why am I going to tell you about flip flops?

Simple.....flip flops can be worn all year long. Some flip flops Should be worn all year long, like the ones from Bumpers! They have some really nice flip flops I think you would enjoy.

The Eco-Friendly Surfer Beach Flip Flops are not ordinary at all.  The flip flops are made with natural rubber and a natural rubber sole and come in 17 colors and 3 patterns. They have sizes available for kids, women and men, so these would be great for the whole family.

The insole of the flip flops though, is what really makes them special. Each flip flop has small, soft massaging bumps on the insole offering an energizing acupressure effect to your feet and legs while walking, plus, they help ventilate the feet since they are not flat on the flip flop.

When I first tried the flip flops I will admit the little massaging bumps were not that comfortable. It took a few days of wearing them to get used to the bumps. Now, I enjoy them. They feel good on my feet and I have noticed that my feet don't swell as much when I am on them for a long time. They are actually very comfortable now and I love the color I chose.

But there is even more benefit with these flip flops....Bumpers are ECO-FRIENDLY, made from strong and flexible natural rubber and recycled rubber and EVA scraps, vegan (not made with any animal products), and non-toxic (not made with polyurethane resin). I love that! They make my feet feel good, they look great, and they are good for the environment. You can't go wrong!

A Little Luxury Doesn't Hurt Once In A While

Every now and then, a little luxury in your life is worth the effort and the cost. It can lift your spirit and help you relax and feel special. There's nothing wrong with that, as long as you don't over do it and mess up your budget.

Well one luxury I enjoy are beautiful bath towels. There's something about getting out of the shower and wrapping yourself in soft, luxurious towels. One set of towels I just got are from Salbakos, and they exude luxury.

The towels are some of the softest I have ever tried and remind me of the ones I got to use at a 5 star spa in San Francisco. Each towel is oversized and measures 30" x 60". They are made from 5% Italian Silk and 95% combed Turkish Cotton spun together into yarns making them super soft and highly absorbent. The towels even have a slight sheen to them from the silk.

Another thing I love about these towels is they are made from eco-friendly, pesticide and harmful chemical free materials. All materials used in manufacturing are Oeko-Tex® and ISO 9001 Certified. Basically that means that the materials go through a long, rigorous testing and quality certification to guarantee they are eco-friendly and safe from chemicals that could harm you or the planet.

The best thing I love about these towels is using them. They seriously are the nicest I have ever owned and I do believe they rival the ones from the spa! I love wrapping myself in them. They are the perfect size and weight to absorb all the moisture to dry off and not feel too heavy while doing so. Plus as you wash them, they become softer.

Although these towels may seem expensive, especially compared to buying towels at a superstore or department store, they really are reasonable when it comes to luxury towels. I priced some online and found the average cost for silk and cotton towels is around $200 per towel. Ouch!! These are a much more price-friendly luxury!

A little spoiling now and then does not hurt and a set of two towels is a very nice way to be spoiled!

You can purchase the set of 2 Salbakos Fine Italian Silk and Combed Turkish Cotton Bath Towels HERE! They come in three colors options, Ivory, Taupe, or White.

Clean, Fresh Water! Nothing More!!

Clean drinking water is something we all think about a lot more than we used to. It's so easy for contaminants to get into our water, and if you are like me, you want to keep your family healthy in every way possible.

Blupure has a simple and effective ecofriendly 13 stage countertop water filter that helps keep your family's drinking water much safer that straight from the faucet. The filter cleans out the following contaminants:

chlorine

lead 

mercury 

fluoride

chloramine

bateria

sulfide

radiation

And that's just the start of all the chemicals it removes. It removes over 50 different chemicals from your water! When you stop and look at just that list of things, you realize how messed up our water is even in municipalities! 

The filter is pre-installed so you don't have to mess with doing that the first time. It took my husband less than 5 minutes to read the instructions and attach the filter to our kitchen sink. It's super easy and if you need to you can unattach it and the reattach later or even moved to a different sink. The filter does not take up a lot of counter space and has a generous hose length to it (I personally wish it was a little shorter), so you can place it far from the faucet.

The water is odor free and really has no taste. It's just water, which is something I think most of us are not used to! Operating the filter is easy. Just push the little knob in and turn on the water. Instead of going through the faucet it goes through the filter. When done, just pull the knob back out. The water will continue running through the filter until all that was in the hose and going through the filter has come out, so plan ahead to know when or approximately when to stop it, not wasting any!

The little "faucet" coming out of the filter unit can be moved off to the side so it is not hanging over you sink all the time, making room to do what you need to in your sink. 

One really nice thing is that filter inside the unit is good for 1500 gallons of water or about one year! That's great! 

I think the only thing that we have not liked about the Blupure Water Filter is that the flow of water coming out of the faucet does not have as much pressure as it did before. The stream is a little slower. But we are adjusting to that.

There are a few things you need to be aware of using the filter.

~ Never run hot water through it

~ Keep the countertop clean and dry to avoid attracting bacteria or germs

~ Ensure the housing of the unit is always clean to provide maximum protection

~ If not using the filter for several days (Like while on vacation) let the water run through the filter for a few minutes as the sitting water in it could absorb the bitter flavor of the Zinc Oxide used to filter the water.

We are really enjoying the filter and love knowing that we have fresh, clean tasting water to drink all the time! Oh and with this filtered water, you can make the best coffee and tea! WOW!

Zubels Organic Toys Make A Soft and Safe Gift For Your Little Ones

Zubels are Eco-Friendly 100% organic cotton hand knit characters. These super cute toys are the perfect gift for any little one in your life.  I received the Cheerleader (pink red) 12" doll. She is just adorable and the perfect gift for one of the little girls I am gifting this Christmas.

Isn't she just adorable?

All of the toys from Zubels are made of super soft 100% organic cotton and they have vibrant colors. I think it is wonderful that they don’t contain any toxic chemicals and have been tested to ensure they are 100% safe. That means the toys are good for babies and older kids as well. And Zubels has minimal packaging. By not packaging their product with excessive and needless packaging there is less waste of resources and less waste for the landfill.

Many of the toys they offer are larger dolls (12") and they have smaller ones that are rattles (7"). They also have a wonderful variety of characters to pick from, so you can find something to fit a specific theme or something that you know your child would love. It's a cheerful site to peruse through.

What I love about these toys is they are completely washable. You just hand wash them in a mild detergent, roll up in a towel to absorb excess moisture and allow to dry laying flat. You can't say that about many stuffed toys for children.

Zubels also carries so many other wonderful products, clothing, hats, booties and more. Going through their website was so much fun. I found all kinds of things I would love to give to several new moms and special kiddos in my life. They are products that are super cute and I can feel good about giving because they are safe and eco-friendly, plus the prices are amazingly good! You have to love that.

I would recommend the Zubel Eco-Friendly Toys to anyone out there looking for eco-friendly and safe toys for their baby or older child. The only problem is trying to decide which character or characters to get. There are so many and they are all adorable!

You can purchase any of the Zubels products HERE!

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
