Skoy Cloth Review & Giveaway!

In a household full of kids, a dog and my husband, there are usually many reasons I need a towel or a paper towel. And after a while it can really start to pile up! Either you have to wash towels daily, or you are wasting a TON of paper towels. Between normal cleaning and cleaning up after everyone, it gets to be a bit much. I am on a eco-friendly kick lately and have been searching for ways to lessen our impact on the earth.  In my quest for earth friendliness I have come across Skoy and their amazing Skoy Cloths! 

The Skoy cloth is an absorbent, biodegradable cloth that you can use for all kinds of household tasks!  Use it in every room of the house for all sorts of cleaning jobs!  I love it to pick up spills quickly and for washing dishes! I was really impressed at how well they held up to scrubbing pots and pans! And best of all, they are totally reusable! They replace sponges, paper towels, and significantly reduces your use of kitchen towels! This has gotten me down to washing kitchen towels once a week!!!
http://www.skoycloth.com/doc/C6.jpg 
Skoy cloths are made of natural cotton and wood-based cellulose pulp and is European made. Using a SKOY cloth is equivalent to using 15 rolls of paper towels in an average home. With the high cost of paper towels, as much as $2 per 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.  This cloth is definitely worth the money!!  A 4 pack is only $6.99!!  Best of all, since it dries quickly, you have far less bacteria on your cloth.  Another way to keep it bacteria free is to microwave it for 1-2 minutes, making sure you have it damp before putting it in.  (It is very important that the cloth is wet to avoid a fire)  You can wash your Skoy Cloth in the washer or your dishwasher!!  These cloths are so wonderful!!!


I have a 4 pack of Skoy Cloths for one lucky winner!! Keep reading to find out how they could be yours!!:

But do you always wash your hands? Do you always hold your phone? Chances are you put your phone down on counters or tables, and they can pick up germs.  Pretty gross huh?

So how do you clean your phone?

Live Brilliantly Lens/cell phone cleaner review & giveaway!


I have worn glasses since the 5th grade. I usually wear contacts now, but there are still times I have to put my glasses on instead. It seems no matter how careful I am, they always get dirty. Same with my sunglasses, even my cell phone...little fingers get ahold of them, and then they have finger prints. What a mess.  I recently tried a product that works really well on glasses, including sunglasses, and even on my cell phone! It is called Brilliant Lenses!

This great product really cleaned up my phone screen and my sunglasses! It also reduced the number of scratches on my eyeglasses as well.  I like the cleansing cloth too, it helps to reduce the scratches and get it really clean! This is a great product and I am glad it worked on my phone as well! It gets dropped and all kinds of things and this makes the screen nice and pretty again!


Product Description
Brilliant Lenses Cleaner comes with an optical microfiber cloth. It is a premium eyeglass cleaner with SR-8 that adds a protective barrier to lenses to resist scratches and soiling from water, sweat, dust and dirt. For ALL types of lenses.  



You can win your own Brilliant Lenses Cleaner!! Here is how to win!:

Rubbermaid Junk Drawer Organizer Review and Giveaway!



I bet you and I have something in common. I am sure that somewhere in your house, you have a junk drawer. Maybe it's big, maybe it's small. But it's your catchall, the place where you put this and that when you lack a better place to put it.  Stuff you can't seem to do without but don't have a good place to put it.  I know I do! I have one, my husband has one.  So I was thrilled when Rubbermaid offered me to try out their new Junk Drawer Organizer to help with my disorganization!!  Well I was a bit bummed when the dimensions of the interlocking Junk Drawer Organizers didn't fit in the drawer I wanted to use it on.  So I started trying to figure out how to best use the system, and decided to use it in my bathroom medicine cabinet! We store everything that is used often in there-toothbrushes, hair deals, medicines, etc.  Here is a pic of how it looked BEFORE:

Messy, unorganized and not nice too look at! We are always on the go so much that it just ended up like that.  Well no more!! Take a look at the fab job in my AFTER pic:

Nice, neat and ORGANIZED!! All the toothbrushes are together, hair ties have a place-it all fit so nicely!! The only organizer I was unable to use was the large one, I believe it is the  6"x15".  I ended up using that one on my shelf in the bathroom to put small bottles of hair products and other small things to keep them together. I can just pull out the box to get what I need and look into without having to make a mess.  The entire system makes everything nicer to look at and makes it efficient!  I was so proud I had to run out and show my husband what I had done!!  ☺  What can I say, I love being Suzy Homemaker!!

I wanted to share some fabulous Junk Drawer Organizing Tips from Rubbermaid:

Bringing order to your home's most over-used drawer
Everyone has one. But few of us use it effectively. Yes, that’s right: the family junk drawer. Almost always in the kitchen, it becomes a catchall for everything from specialty kitchen tools to spare keys, gum to school permission slips, office supplies to emergency essentials. Here’s our four-step plan to help you sort through the mess and transform your drawer from junky to ingenious!
STEP 1: ASSESS THE MESS
Take everything out of the drawer and put it on a (spacious!) flat surface. What’s actually in there? There’s stuff that should be there (batteries, extra keys), and probably a lot that shouldn’t: tools, school permission slips, junk mail, candy. Determine what’s staying, and what’s going.
STEP 2: RELOCATE WHAT NEEDS RELOCATING
Move the aforementioned misplaced items to their rightful places (in the tool box, into the garbage or recycling bin), then ensure similar items won’t end up in the junk drawer in the future. Put baskets by your front door or mudroom so kids have someplace to stash school notices, and you have a spot to put mail, junk or otherwise. Set up a plastic binder or sleeve to hold takeout menus, placing it near your phone book. And vow to take the extra time to put screwdrivers and drill bits where they belong, to avoid searching later.
STEP 3: CREATE NICHES FOR JUNK-DRAWER ESSENTIALS
Now dedicate space for junk drawer must-haves. These are the things you want on-call on a weekly basis, as when packing lunches, jotting down notes while checking voicemail, handing off the house to a home-sitter or babysitter, lighting candles, and so on. Also, you’ll want to keep some emergency supplies handy, like the essential flashlight and batteries. Shallow plastic drawer organizers, with moveable dividers that can be adjusted to fit drawer size, are perfect for all your junk-drawer needs. Flashlights, notepads and pens, twist-ties, kitchen twine, scissors and matchbooks are all accessible.
STEP 4: CONTAIN TINY MULTIPLES - OR NOTABLES
Paper clips, rubber bands, stamps and loose change benefit from further containment within the organized junk drawer. Use TakeAlongs Twist & Seal single-serving food containers to hold these easy-to-lose items. It’s also a good way to set aside spare keys.
 
Rubbermaid  would love to help one of you get more organized! One lucky reader will win a set of Junk Drawer Organizers with the following dimensions:
  • 1 – 6″ x 15″ compartment
  • 1 – 6″ x 9″ compartment
  • 1 – 3″ x 9″ compartment
  • 1 – 3″ x 12″ compartment
  • 3 – 3″ x 3″ square compartments
Here is how to win!
