Potty Cover Review & Giveaway





If there is one thing I hate, it's public bathrooms! I will avoid them at all costs. To me, there is nothing clean about them. If I do have to go, I "hover"! Yuck! I can hold it if I have to go, but my kids are a different story! Every time we go into the store, my 7 year old automatically HAS to go! There is nothing I can do but take him and tell him not to touch anything!

I had the delightful opportunity to review the Potty Cover! The Potty Cover is a disposable cover you put over the toilet to protect your little one from whatever is lurking on the potty.

Yes, I know most public bathrooms have toilet seat covers that you can use. Do you really think a little kid can get up on that thing without it sliding around? Even if they can, you know their hands are touching the edges and their feet and clothes are touching the bowl! With the Potty Cover, all those worries are gone! It has an extra large flap in the front to cover the bowl and flaps on the side to keep those little hands off the edges!

The Potty Cover is made with soft non-woven fabric on the top, coated with a layer of plastic on the bottom.  Plus, it is double layered. Ahh, gives me peace of mind! There are also no adhesive strips to fiddle with! The design makes it stay in place with ease!

Each cover comes in it's own tiny bag, which makes it perfect to carry in your purse! Since I have received them, I have had one in my purse at all time! Each bag comes with 6 covers! That will "cover" 6 trips to the store! At only $5.99 a pack, that's a great deal! That's $1 every time you use one! Considering the other option of going without one, I think $1 is amazing!

You can buy the Potty Cover at Amazon, Ebay, buybuy Baby, and at select Bed Bath & Beyond stores.

Now you have a chance to win a pack of Potty Covers! Good luck!

ToweLocs Review

I bet the majority of you mothers out there have the same problem I do. Your child brushes their teeth, or washes their hands, pulls the towel down to dry off, then leaves the towel on the counter/floor. Later you go and find it, only to find that it's still wet. Most of the time, you need to wash it after that. Oh joy! More laundry! Do you sence the sarcasm?

That's why when I recieved a ToweLocs in the mail, I was thrilled! I opened up the package, and found a pretty blue ToweLocs, along with instructions on how to use it. My first though was, 'this will match perfectly in the boys' bathroom, and I need to get it in there NOW!'. So, that's what I did. It was very simple to put on, and looked great with the colors of their bathroom.

Since then, I don't have to go in there, at least 3 times a day, to make sure the towel is hung and drying. That's a blessing to me. One less thing to think about. Plus, it's held on there good enough that they wont be able to pull the ToweLocs off. Score again!

TOWELOCS STORY

ToweLocs® was created by Cindy Sawyer, a mom who was repeatedly frustrated every time her hand towels fell off the towel bar and when her kitchen towels did the same upon opening her oven door. This was also compounded when her two young children, Keelan and Skylar, could not help themselves and leave their hand towels on the bathroom floor after each use. As you may imagine, this was an everyday event in any typical household.

So she wanted to find a way to not only secure her towels in their rightful place but to also do it with some style. This sparked the invention of ToweLocs® . After numerous prototypes and designs, she decided on a final product that exists today. She was inspired to market her invention when she received multiple compliments on what has now become a practical household product and how it accentuated her bath and kitchen towels.
Not only is ToweLocs® functional it is also decorative.
We hope you enjoy ToweLocs® !

If you have problems keeping your towels where they are supposed to go, I strongly suggest you get a ToweLocs! It will make your life a little bit easier! They range from $13.99-$19.99. Go BUY one!

Ecover Review & Giveaway

If you have boys living in your house like I do, then you know how dirty the bathroom gets! I have a 4 and 5 year old boy, who for obvious reasons have their own bathroom. Let's just say that little boys don't have the best aim. They just stand there, looking into the mirror, making faces at themselves. Then, I'm in the background saying, "Aim for the hole in the potty! Watch what you're doing!". Yeah, lots of fun. Cleaning that bathroom is always a chore. Not to mention the toothpaste all over the sink and counter. I've used a lot of different cleaners, and they all seem to leave a little hint of urine in the air. Not good! Sunday is my cleaning day and yesterday I got my Ecover products delivered for review. Perfect timing! I recieved a bottle of bathroom cleaner, and a bottle of toilet bowl cleaner.

Bathroom Cleaner:
1. Tough on bathroom grime
2. Chrome friendly
3. Fresh plant based fragrance
Used for showers, tile, taps, tubs, & sinks! I used it for everything in my bathroom. Even on the floor! It cleaned so well and left the bathroom smelling wonderful. To me, it had a citrus smell. Completely eliminated the urine smell! It's made from plant and mineral based ingredients and it's safe for septic tanks! I have a septic tank, so that's wonderful for me! Plus, a little bit goes a long way. I used 3 sprays for the whole sink and counter.


Toilet Bowl Cleaner:
1. Triple action: cleans, decalcifies, and freshens
2. Removes tough stains
3. Leaves bowl sanitary
This is also plant and mineral based and safe for septic tanks. Plus, it's safe for all river and marine life! I put it in my toilet and let it sit while I cleaned the sink. There has been a ring in the toilet since we moved in because this house used to have well water. Now, it didn't completely remove the ring, but it did lighten it. Once I scrubbed it with the brush, the water in the toilet was visibly dirty! Wow, I didn't think it was that dirty, being that I clean it A LOT! It did a great job, and I think it can stand up to couple little boys! :)

Ecover has more than just bathroom cleaners. They offer products for dishwashing, laundry, household, personal care, and even products for your car and boat! Ecover produces their washing and cleaning products in an ecological, economic and socially responsible way in a unique ecological factory.

My overall impression was good. I loved the smell and I loved the way it worked. I didn't see any downfalls as of yet. One thing I would like to see from the company is biodegradable wipes for the bathroom and/or kitchen. I like to use wipes when it comes to cleaning the outside of the toilet. Using a wash cloth/paper towel just doesn't cut it for me.

~Win it~
Ecover is offering one of my readers the chance to win the bathroom cleaner and toilet bowl cleaner that I reviewed. Plus, they are going to throw in a reusable grocery bag!
