“Shop With Your Heart” initiative from the ASPCA
August 1, 2016 By
This is a guest post.
Aside from the people who are vegan, most everyone I know buys meat, eggs, or dairy at some point during the week/month/year. And those of you who do – have much more buying power than you probably even realize. By buying welfare-certified animal products, or more plant-based products, you send a strong message to food companies that you care about the treatment of farm animals.
Just an average size family spends hundreds of dollars a month on meat. Imagine if every
single consumer used that buying power to purchase welfare-certified meat instead of the meat from inhumane factory farms. What a difference that would make!

As you may already know, most of the nearly 9 billion animals raised for meat, milk and eggs in the US are suffering in inhumane factory farms. And animals are not the only affected, as factory farms impact human health—they can be breeding grounds for dangerous pathogens and the antibiotics used to prevent disease create the potential for dangerous, drug-resistant bacteria to develop.
To fully harness the power of our collective purchases and demand better lives for farm animals, the Shop With Your Heart initiative launched by the ASPCA gives consumers the resources to recognize, locate and demand meaningfully welfare-certified meat, eggs and dairy products as well as plant-based alternatives.
Will you take the pledge?
Everyone who signs the pledge also gains access to an exclusive Shop With Your Heart Grocery List, including welfare-certified and widely available plant-based brands.

Magnetic Stick N Stack, Idea Book, 100 Colored Pages of Structures, Vol 2
Both of my children were very excited to open the boxes and get to building! I love all of the shapes and the bright colors. As you can see my children had a blast making fun projects out of Magnetic Stick N Stack sets! They spent hours building with their imagination creating some really neat things! They connect to each other very well, are very sturdy and don’t fall apart easily when you go to lift up your creation to move it. I love that there are endless possibilities of what you can make with Magnetic Stick N Stack sets. My son loves to build garages out of them for his cars, and my daughter builds doll furniture out of them. We have had them for a week now and each day they continue to build with them. I love how creative they are getting, and I do think these are a great learning toy for my children.
These are recommended for ages 3 and up, and they would make perfect gifts for all occasions. Magnetic Stick N Stack are fully compatible with Magna-tiles TM brand & all other major brands.

Vitafive: Custom Gummy Vitamin Packs for Adults and Kids Review @vitafivegummies
August 1, 2016 By
I try to live a healthy lifestyle. Exercise daily, eat my fruits and veggies, also take my vitamins. Well, let me re-phrase that. “Try” to take my vitamins when I remember. I always have a hard time remembering to take my vitamins daily. I am also not a fan of swallowing pills (who is?) or taking chewable vitamins. I prefer the gummy kind but can never find one that tastes good. Most are too sweet or artificial tasting. I need to find a good gummy vitamin that I won’t forget about taking each day.
I was recently contacted by a company called Vitafive. What is Vitafive you may ask? Well, for around $1 a day they offer personalized gummy vitamin packs sent right to your door every 4 weeks. With Vitafive, your vitamins are all prepackaged into one convenient pack for each day of the week. You can take them anywhere with you, no more worrying each morning putting them in a little ziplock bag to take with you or forgetting about the bottle that is in your medicine cabinet. These are so convenient to take to work, school or even on vacation!
I was asked to review a 2 week supply of the Essential vitamin pack. Inside the Essential Pack are 2 Multivitamins and 2 Omega-3. This health pack offers a daily solution to help fill the nutrient gaps in your diet by including a multivitamin, as well as providing you with enough Omega-3 to help tackle the deficiencies most Americans deal with on a daily basis. Vitafive offers 7 different vitamin packs. Essential, Beauty, Heart, Brain, Active, Immune and Sleep. They also offer a customized pack of the specific vitamins you choose. Very cool since some folks may want different vitamins than others.
Prices for the vitamin packs for 4 weeks:
Brain ($24.00), Heart ($34.00), Active ($34.00), Sleep ($24.00), Essential ($24.00), Beauty ($29.00) and Immune ($29.00). For kids, Essential ($19.00), Immune ($24.00) or Healthy Bones ($24.00). Customize your own pack (starts at $14.99). Shipping is free.
Each individualized packet contains exactly what you need. There are no questions, no issues, and you know exactly what vitamins you are getting each day. I love that I can take these on vacation and I don’t have to bring the whole bottle or put them in a pill container. They are also great to take out to a restaurant if you like to take them directly with food. So convenient in many ways!
I have been taking these vitamins for 7 days now. I actually can’t wait to take them each day. They are delicious! They don’t taste artificial and they do have a real fruit flavor taste. They aren’t really chewy either and they didn’t stick to my teeth. I am looking forward to ordering them for my children since I know they will love the taste as much as I do. I have noticed my energy has increased and I do believe it is from taking these.
Other great things about VitaFive is that they are:
- Gluten Free
- Vegetarian
- Kosher & Halal
- Made in the USA
- Vitamins are safe from melting in temperatures of up to 140 degrees
I know you will be as satisfied as I am with your new vitamin packs, but if for some reason you aren’t, you can cancel your subscription at anytime with no hassle.

Clean your Car Easily with Just Water using e-auto Car Cleaning Kit @ecloth
August 1, 2016 By
I am always looking for easier ways to wash my vehicles. I don’t take them to car washes so my husband and I do it all by hand ourselves. We spend a lot of money on car wash fluid and other sprays to make our vehicles nice and clean. When I heard there was a product to use on our vehicles with just water and no chemicals, I was definitely interested on trying it out. Let me introduce you to e-auto by e-cloth.
Here is more information about e-auto by e-cloth:
Car Cleaning Kit
The perfect solution for keeping your car clean and sparkling.
The three products in the Car Cleaning Kit and water are all you need to quickly clean, dry and shine your whole car. e-auto products are so powerful,
they can clean using just water. They will also perform well with a small amount of your regular cleaning liquid.
e-auto cloths have 1.6 million fibers per square inch. By using e-cloth’s unique fiber technology with water, they break
up and hold dirt, grime and grease which normal cloths leave behind.
Kit includes one (1) each:
Dual Action Mitt, Dry & Shine Cloth, and Glass & Chrome Cloth
- Dual Action Mitt – 10” x 6.75”
- Orange “soft-fingered” side will quickly handle all the tough initial cleaning and get into hard to reach areas.
- The smooth grey side is for general and spot cleaning
- e-auto Dry & Shine Cloth
- Dry and Shine Cloth – 16” x 24”
- After use of the e-auto Dual Action Mitt, use dry on the wet body, glass and shiny surfaces for the perfect water mark free, polished finish
- Cleaning power of the fibers removes any residues of grease and grime and is effective on all surfaces: body, lights, glass and chrome
- e-auto Glass & Chrome Cloth
- Glass and Chrome Cloth – 20” x 16”
- Use the Glass and Chrome cloth to produce a perfect smear-free, lint-free and polished finish on windshields, glass, chrome and mirrors using just water
Care and Laundering: Rinsing thoroughly each of the three products in the Car Cleaning Kit during use is
enough for day to day use. To ensure your e-auto cloths perform at their best, we recommend machine
washing in hot water with a little detergent. Tumble or hang dry. DO NOT USE BLEACH OR FABRIC
SOFTENER. If fabric softener is used by mistake, re-wash with just detergent. Guaranteed to perform
after 300 machine washes.
We tried this kit on my husbands truck. He doesn’t wash it much so it was VERY dirty. I figured this would be perfect to see how this kit really can handle the dirt with no car was liquid. My husband just sprayed the entire truck with water and started wiping it down.
Before:
As you can see my husband’s truck was extremely dirty. He filled his bucket with water and starting washing the truck with the Dual Action Mitt. He started cleaning the truck and what we noticed was no lint left over. Most cloths leave lint which gets highly annoying, so this is a big plus that the Mitt doesn’t leave a lint trace while washing. The dirt came off with very little struggle. The second step is the Dry & Shine Cloth. This cloth quickly dried the wet surface and did leave a nice shine on the truck. The third step is the Glass & Chrome Cloth. My husband used this cloth on the windows and chrome and it left both nice and smear free.
After:
This e-auto set left my husband’s car very clean and shiny. It didn’t take much time to clean, and I love that you don’t have to use any cleaning fluid with it unless you want to. The Mitt is also guaranteed for 300 washes.
The only con I have about this product is that I wish the Mitt had a bug scrubber attached on the back for the bugs that end up all over the cars. Sometimes scrubbing will not take them off and you need something that will remove the bugs. Otherwise the Mitt works great for simple dirt removal with water.
I definitely recommend the e-auto set by e-cloth. It did cut some of our washing time down, and really did make the cars sparkle and shine without the use of chemicals. e-cloth also makes many other products such as Baby care, Pet care, Body Care, Mops and much more. Check them all out here!
