seventh_gen_logo Replacing what’s currently under your sink with products that are non-toxic and safe for the environment is easier than ever with Seventh Generation’s environmentally friendly cleaning products.

Leading the “responsible cleaning” charge for the past twenty years, Seventh Generation has tapped into the disinfecting power of the herb thyme, to introduce an EPA registered line of disinfecting sprays and wipes that kill germs naturally!

The new line of botanical disinfectant cleaners includes a multi-surface cleaning spray, bathroom cleaning spray and wipes.

The disinfectants contain thymol, a component of the herb thyme, and can be used on hard surfaces including counter tops, plastic cutting boards, highchair trays as well as children’s toys. Best of all, they kill over 99.99 percent of germs naturally and are effective against the Influenza A Virus, including H1N1.

Seventh Generation has partnered with eco-lifestyle consultant and author, Alexandra Zissu, whose new book, The Conscious Kitchen, discusses what’s good for your health, what’s good for the planet and what tastes great. Her book also includes great tips on maintaining a green and healthy kitchen.

I received a MicroDry Bath Mat to review and one to give away to one lucky reader (in your choice of color)! I just know you are going to love it. It’s so soft and comforting on my feet when I get out of the tub.

The MicroDry® top fabric is super soft and absorbs water twice as fast as other materials, making it extremely gentle and ultra absorbent.

Filled with memory foam, it cushions your feet and feels great while you dry off and get ready for the day. The non-slip base ensures that the bath mat grips firmly to the floor for safety. MicroDry® is sinfully soft and delightfully convenient.

The MicroDry Bath Mat comes in four different colors, white, ivory, light blue and chocolate brown, to fit into any bathroom decor. They offer two different sizes, 17″ x 24″ for $19.99 and 21″ x 34″ for $29.99. I really liked the loop that is attached to the bottom of it, so I can hang it up to dry after my shower.

I have four cats, so when Dyson asked me to review their Dyson Animal DC-31 Hand held vacuum I was ALL OVER IT!

dyson_animal_review

The stairs in my house are carpeted, and it’s so hard to maneuver my big vacuum up and down the stairs to try to get all the cat hair that balls up in the corners. The Dyson Animal worked perfectly for this! I can’t write enough about how much I love the Dyson Animal, so watch my video!
