Pilot Bottle to Pen (B2P) Recycled Water Bottle Pen Review and Giveaway #Review #Giveaway #GoingGreen #B2P

 

category425

 

 

My husband and I are always using pens in our home. We have a drawer filled of them and unfortunately most are disposable. I hate just tossing them into the trash and would prefer to use refillable pens. I was contacted to review refillable gel pens made out of recycled bottles.

Here is some information about the B2P Gel Roller Pens:

  • Made from 89% recycled content
  • Vibrant G2 Gel Ink for smooth, effortless writing
  • Meets ISO 14001 and 14021 standards
  • Available in vivid colors as well as black, blue and red ink.
  • Retractable and Refillable with G2 Refills

 

Bottle-2-Pen (B2P) is the world’s first pen made from recycled bottles.  Approximately 2.5 million plastic bottles enter landfills every hour in the United States, and comprise close to 50% of all recyclable waste. Pilot manufactures B2P gel ink pens from 89% post-consumer recycled plastic bottles. Pilot’s B2P pens write smoothly, have vibrant inks are and are 100% refillable. So you can write the next chapter for a cleaner planet with B2P.

 

I’m a fan of Pilot products, and their idea of recycling bottles into pens is awesome. I received a vivid multi color pack which includes Purple, Blue, Dark green, Light green and Pink. I also received a Red two pack. They are 0.7mm fine tip. I love the colors, they are very bright and the ink gives a unique personal look.  The look of the pens is very cool, looks just like a water bottle with the ridges and all. The pen fits nicely in my hand, has a nice grip to it and is very comfortable to write with. The ink comes out nice and smooth and doesn’t smear.

These pens are refillable and take the standard G2 refills with any color you would like, and are easy to find at a store near you (they had them at my local Publix and Target).

I always feel like I am paying too much money for razors. Between my husband and I, we go through a lot of them, and always needing new blades.

You can adjust the frequency of your deliveries, and cancel easily. I was able to review The 4X, and some other goodies that you can add on to your monthly subscription.

 

Here is what I received in my box:

  • Razor handle and four 4X blades
  • One Wipe Charlies (Enjoy the soft, clean, manly way to wipe.) Cost: $4 for 40 wipes or $7.50 for 40 pkts of travel size
  • Shave Butter (The most delightful thing you can put on your skin for shaving. ) $8 for 6 OZ or $6 for 3 OZ travel size

  • Smart Hair Paste (A thicker malleable formula that gives you the perfect amount of control.) $10 for 3.4 OZ

IMG_1726 I have not tried every item yet in this box, but wow I was overwhelmed with these products! My husband currently uses a Gillette MACH3, and I use a Gillette Venus Spa. My husband first tried the 4X and had great results, He shaved one side with his current razor, and then shaved the other side with the 4X. I felt his face and the 4X definitely gave him more of a closer shave! He also used the shave butter which he loved, and the post shave made his skin smooth and smell so good. I tried the 4X next and was excited to compare it to my Venus razor. I used the shave butter and 4X on my legs and loved the results! My smooth skin also lasts longer than the Venus. We can both say we are very pleased! IMG_1729IMG_1727 My husband also tried the Hair Gel and the Hair Cream, both work great! My 4 year old son loves his spikey hair he gets with the Hair Clay.

In conclusion, this would be a great monthly gift for the man or woman in your life! Add some additional hair care products in and anyone would love this gift. I love that I will be saving money and not worrying about going to the store and buying my blades anymore.  I recommend you to try it out for a month and see if you like it!

Real Kids Shades Review and Giveaway @RealKidsShades

 

e0d58a6e-3af0-4b75-a3fd-9c47b457f6cd

Protecting your eyes and your child’s eyes is so important. I live in sunny Florida, so sunglasses are a MUST all year round. I always make sure my children (and myself) always have a pair of sunglasses with them when they are outside. It can be tricky though finding a good pair, and a pair that you know has the right protection. I was contacted by Real Kids Shades to do a review on a pair of Sunglasses.

IMG_1613

Sunglasses with cases that were included.

 

The sunglasses I reviewed are the Breeze – Youth P2 Polarized Lens for ages 7+. My daughter is 7 years old and she picked the Purple/Navy color. When my package arrived I opened the box and the sunglasses were in a really nice plastic case that came with a hook that you can attach to your purse, backpack or even belt loop on you pants. Also, a really nice soft case came with the sunglasses and also included a clip. For me, a protective case is a must so the sunglasses don’t get damaged.

The sunglasses are nice and light. Nice flexible arms that don’t hurt my daughter’s ears,  and flex with her.  Pretty awesome design! These sunglasses have 100% UVA/UVB Protection. I like how the rubber-like material bends and twists, but will not lose its shape. The lenses are also shatterproof polycarbonate, huge plus in case my daughter drops them.  My daughter wore them outside in bright sun and said the sun didn’t hurt her eyes at all! I even looked through them myself towards the sun and I must say, they really do keep your eyes protected. She has also been wearing them for car rides and says they are “Super comfy”.

Here is more information on Real Kids Shades:

Real Kids Shades Polarized Sunglasses

Children’s vision experts say the sooner parents start protecting their kids eyes from the sun, the lower the risk of developing future eye problems. Kids need to take extra care to wear sunglasses as they can’t filter UV light as effectively as adults.

Real Kids is the leading innovator of children’s 100% UVA/UVB eye protection

We now provide the most extensive product line in children’s quality sun glasses offered in four sizes specific to kids’ ages and stages that focus on style, performance and fit.

We take fit and performance by age very seriously, and created styles that kids will love to wear at a price point that parents can afford. Real Kids offers custom sized products for
Baby (0+), Toddler (2+), Kid (4+), and Youth (7+).

Flex Fit

Building on our successful flexible technology, Real Kids now offers TPEE Flex-Fit frames for all age/stages and all Real Kids products use polycarbonate lenses. In addition to the expanded line of sunglasses for children, Real Kids has taken their award-winning product design to a new level.

P2 Lens Technology

We are excited to introduce our new P2 Lens Technology which combines our lightweight, impact resistant polycarbonate lenses with glare-reduction polarization at an outstanding price point.

 

 

These are a great choice for your children with a price that won’t break the bank! I love that they have all of the protection I desire for keeping my daughter’s eyes safe from the sun. Definitely check out their site and check out the great deal below!

They also have a Young Adult line, so the whole family can keep be stylish together!
