Review & Giveaway: Green Ostrich - Envitote

 

 Some facts about Green Ostrich taken from their website:

A woman-owned business founded in 2009 based just outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Green Ostrich™ started with the following observation: the energy-intensive retail stores that we frequent do not offer many Earth-friendly, green products. That, and we were spending a lot of time and energy driving in our car to and from these stores.

So, we decided to create an online store dedicated to Earth-friendly, green gifts and green toys to spark a consumer movement that requires environmentally-sound solutions for our lives. We help people make changes, not sacrifices. We help them live well and refresh the Earth.
The power to make change rests with the individual consumer. They have to lead the way; they always do. When consumers decide to make the Earth a priority, the priorities of businesses and governments will shift.
To save the Earth, we have to refresh the resources we borrow. Using Earth-friendly products in our daily lives helps. Learn to recognize them. Demand them. Buy them . . . if not from us, from someone else. Doing that consistently will move markets and governments, and the Earth will rebound from its concerning negative trends.

The Truth's Thoughts:
I got the Envitote so I will give you a little information about the Envitote.
Make a Choice: For years, people have used plastic bags to carry their purchases when they go to the store. Recently, some have switched to thin reusable bags to reduce their plastic usage, but they sacrifice function as groceries or household goods are often crushed. The Envitote provides a better solution. 100% cotton canvas, this reusable grocery tote provides lots of room for purchases. It has three removable wall stiffeners - two on the side and one on its base - to add all the support necessary to avoid an accidental smash. Washable and collapsible, it has an adjustable strap and side handles. Owners carry the Envitote every time they leave the house.
Color: Ivory and Light Green
Size: 14 x 9 x 9.5 inches (35.6 x 22.9 x 24.1 cm)
Description: Lead free solution for your groceries! Heavy duty, washable, collapsible, 100% cotton canvas reusable bag for groceries and household goods

This bag comes in really  handle when you don't what to fight with all the bags from the store. When I just have to run to the store for a few items, I grab my bag and head out. It is so much easier because speaking for myself I have a over load of store bags under my kitchen sink and don't need to add to the problem. So I love to use my Envitote when ever I can.

The Truth's Thoughts:

The shirt I was sent for this review was called "Tootie Roll, How Many Licks"

this shirt can be found under the Novelty T-Shirts. As you can see to the side I have put a image up of the shirt. I has the owl we have grown to love over the years from the Tootie Roll Pop ads on TV. I know when I was a little kid I used to love the ads for Tootie Roll Pops. The little boy walking around trying to found out how many licks it took to get to the center of a tootie roll pop, then finally asking the owl. All the owl would do was lick it saying "1, 2, 3" then bite the sucker and tell the little boy it was three. I know like most kid, I tried to get to the center in just 3 licks and it never worked. So when I seen this shirt I knew I had to have it. They have another one to that I am soon to order with the Owl and little boy both on the shirt. They all lots of old school shirts on their site. Crazy Dog shirts are very comfortable and very soft when you open your package. Here is a little bit about my shirt that I found on their site, enjoy: 

I never had the patience to see how many licks it took to get to the center of a Toosie Roll Pop so I am blissfully (or not so blissfully) unaware.  If someone knows how many it takes, I'd really like to know because one day its going to come up in a trivia contest for some huge prize like a lifetime of Fritos and I'll lose the question in double dare overtime and blame you for never telling me.

Review: Pambra's Tummy Liners

Some facts taken from Pambra's websites:

Patent Pending

Made from the same quality materials as our Original liners, the Tummy liner is designed to absorb perspiration under the abdominal fold. It helps to eliminate any embarrassing odor. The Tummy Liner is doctor recommended, “Pambra’s have also been used in abdominal skin folds to prevent or treat the Intertigo found in those locations.”

Suggestions:

It is recommended that the abdominal area be cleansed and dried thoroughly. For best results, place a clean Pambra’s tummy liner on with an undergarment. As with any heat or unknown rash, always consult with your physician. Check with your physician for after surgery in the tummy area.

Uses:

• Perhaps you carry some extra weight in the abdominal area,
• You’ve had a Gastric Bypass surgery and not ready for your tummy tuck,
• You know a loved one that is bedridden,
  … Then a Pambra’s Tummy Liner is for you!
  The tummy liner is to be placed under the abdominal fold and then your undergarments over it.

SIZES

Measure under tummy before ordering- All liners are 3” wide.
Small- 20” long
Medium- 24” long
Large- 28” long
X-large- 32” long
XX-large- 36” long

How-to Properly Measure:
Using a measuring tape, measure up and under the tummy fold from one hip across to the other. DO NOT measure all the way around your stomach area. Do not measure on top of the tummy. Measure the area that the liner intended to cover.

* The Original Tummy Liner is only available in White, 3 liners per package!
Easy Care
Shell is 65% cotton/ 35% polyester, inside 100% Cotton. Machine washable warm, tumble dry low. No bleach.
The Truth's Thoughts:
The Pambra's Tummy Liner is something I wish I would have had when I had my oldest son by c-section. I know the tummy liner would have helped me out a lot with the sweating and keeping the cut clean during those few weeks. I wore my tummy liner for a day with doing all my daily mommy things of cleaning the house, chasing the kids, and doing my Zumba on my PS3. When the day came to the end I went to take a bath, now usually at this point I have a raw spot where my belly hang over, it always happens because the over lap is pushed against my body all day by my pants. Well, when I took the tummy liner off their was not spot. I was so happen because them raw spots put me in a lot of pain when the water hits them. Now I wear my tummy liner when I do my Zumba because that is when I sweat most during the day. Now as far as my husband he wore one to work and lets just say I hated to wash that liner. He works in a factory and sweats like crazy even when it cold outside, so needless to say I don't let him wear my liners no more.
 
This product was send to me free of charge for me to use and review on this blog. I was not paid by the company for anything just got the product for free.

Wicked Mint Brownie

Back by very POPULAR demand. Pure mint overload! Countless are devoted to this wheat-free, all natural, mint brownie. Generous portions of peppermint oil, whey protein and green mint chocolate chips make a serious trio that will leave you perfectly feeling wicked.

The Truth's Thoughts:

They where a great when I had a sweet tooth but they are very rich in flavor. My kids loved them all I only got to sample each one because they ate them all up. My oldest has been asking for me to get some more of the Wicked Brownies. So he might just be getting some in his stocking this Christmas.
