Lotus Sanitizing SystemSpeaking as a mom and caretaker of my home and family, I'm always concerned about how clean the items my family comes in contact with are.  Their very health and well-being are determined by the spread of harmful germs and contaminants which are crawling on both our food and household possessions.  So how can you quickly, easily and SAFELY sanitize your home's contents without compounding the problem through poisonous cleaning chemicals?

Allow me to introduce you to the Lotus Sanitizing System from Tersano.  Recently, I had the opportunity to review the LSR100 sanitizing system which allowed me to clean and sanitize absolutely everything using only tap water.  Keep reading to learn more!

I reviewed the Lotus Sanitizing System (LSR100) from Tersano, which retails for $249.00.

Planet WiseWith back-to-school season right around the corner, you may already be contemplating how you are going to pack your child's lunch for school this year.  Most folks use a variety of plastic baggies to pack the various foods and snacks in their child's lunch, which is bad for the environment and causes a ton of undue waste.

If you'd like to find a "greener" way to pack snacks and sandwiches for your child, then please keep reading about the "Bag Your Snack Stuff!" line of reusable bags from Planet Wise.

I reviewed the following reusable bags from the Planet Wise "Bag Your Snack Stuff!" line:

Window Bag, which retails for $7.99

Sandwich Bag, which retails for $7.99

Sandwich Wrap, which retails for $7.99

Snack Bag, which retails for $7.99

TykeRiderRiding my bike was one of the best experiences of being a kid.  I loved the sense of freedom I had when I was on my bike and I had so many good times and adventures, that naturally, I'm excited for Riley to experience the same thing.  I always thought that her father and I would start her out on a bicycle with training wheels and then eventually take the training wheels off, just as it's been done for decades.

Then, I found out about a brand new way to teach your child to ride their bike and it doesn't involve using training wheels at all.  TykeRider allowed us to review their Early Rider Lite Balance Bike, made especially for toddlers and preschoolers, as well as their Little Nutty Safety Helmet.  Keep reading to find out more about how these two items could safely teach your child to ride at a much earlier age!

I reviewed the Early Rider Lite Balance Bike in Natural from TykeRider, which retails for $159.95 with FREE SHIPPING, as well as the Little Nutty Helmet in Drippy, which retails for $44.95.

Sibu BeautySpeaking as someone who hasn't been blessed with trouble-free skin, I've spent my life searching for the perfect skin care regimen for my particular set of skin challenges.  Basically, I need a system which can hydrate and moisturize well, while keeping my Rosacea flare-ups to a minimum.  I also would love a skin care system that brightens and tones my skin, while lessening the look of fine lines and wrinkles as well as helping to remove prior sun damage.

Of course, in a perfect world, I would also love to find an all-natural skin care regimen too, free from loads of harmful chemicals and toxins.  Sounds like a tall order, right?  That's why I'm very excited to have the chance to review the Sibu Beauty line of Sea Buckthorn skin care products.  Keep reading to learn much more about them as well as whether or not they worked for me!

I reviewed the following skin care products from Sibu Beauty:

Sea Buckthorn Balancing Facial Cleanser, which retails for 17.95.

Sea Buckthorn Replenishing Night Cream, which retails for 34.95.

Sea Buckthorn Hydrating Serum, which retails for $39.95.
