Eco-Friendly Party Favor Herb and Shaped Crayons with Seeded Plantable Paper Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

It can be a challenge to come up with a cute but useful party favor when you are the party planner.  I was able to check out two of the most adorable party favors recently from Favor Creative. They actually have a variety of innovative favors including Organic Soaps, Potpourri Sachets, Herb in a Box, Custom Shaped Crayons with Seeded Plantable Paper and Color Me Herb Kits.  Favor Creative uses organic and all-natural items and works diligently to research sustainable companies for packaging and other product elements. All their packaging is made from biodegradable, recycled or compostable materials. Now that is what I call GREEN.

One of the things I love about the favors I received is that both of them are totally green, useful and super cute at the same time. A win-win for everyone. The first one is called Herb in a Box.  This popular eco-friendly party favor is a fun and unique green gift that just about anyone would enjoy.  I know my little one would be so excited if I came home from an event with Herb in a Box. It would be great for anyone from gardening novices to green thumbs, all year round since you could use it inside or outside.  This herb favor comes in a 100% recycled favor box – inside the box is a 2″ biodegradable pot, a soil pellet, instructions for planting and organic herb seeds of your choice.  They offer 14 different herbs/flowers so there is a lot of variety too! They choose different seeds for each participant so it is a surprise too.

The second adorable favor is perfect for adults or kids.  It is Shaped Crayons paired with Seeded Plantable Paper.  A perfect option for a child's spring or summer birthday party. A great solution to eliminate that junky candy! My little one thought this was just amazing. The cute crayon favor part comes in a variety of shapes including flowers, butterflies, lady bugs, building blocks or bones for this fun party favor and activity. The shaped crayons are paired with wildflower plantable seeded paper. Participants can spend time coloring and having fun and then plant their drawing when they get home and watch it grow!! (Instructions are included.) Crayon colors are solid (red, green, yellow, blue) or a mixed colors (red, green, yellow and blue) so you can even match it to themes.  I received the mixed colors which were fun...a pretty blend of bright colors.
​
The favors I received are both unique and fun.   Totally perfect for all business and even ideal for personal events. Favor Creative has a minimum of 10 favors per order.  T Kids and adults alike will love the ones I received for sure. They are part of an eco-friendly party favor collection by Favor Creative.  Check out their site and see all the options that are available.

HSI Professional Argan Oil Spectacular Leave-In Hair Treatment

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

I have to use a hot brush and flat iron at least a few times a week to get my hair styled the way I like it. I worry about protecting my hair though and didn't know what to use. There are so many options out there.  I had heard a lot about Moroccan Argan oil over the past few years and I was curious about it.  I feel like I am one of the last ones to discover the Moroccan "liquid gold," I can see a big difference in my hair since I started using it. It looks infinitely more nourished and has incredible shine. The essential nutrients contained in this magic-in-a-bottle product are meant to give your hair a very healthy look, lots of shine and velvet smoothness. This is a leave-in treatment conditioner which feels really light on your hair, without building up residue or being greasy.

I have been using this Professional Argan Oil as an extra thermal protection before styling my hair with my flat iron, and hot brush. My hair tends to be on the frizzy side so it can get very challenging. Even with twice yearly keratin treatments I still have to use my hot tools to get it to behave.  It really seems to tame the frizz and it has a nice, light scent.  My hair ends up beautifully styled with a soft and shiny finish.  I like that I can go off to work or out for an evening and I feel very put together.   You can find it on Amazon which makes it easy to have beautiful hair like mine every single day!

ATTITUDE Fragrance Free Toy + Surface Cleaner Review

 Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

When you are a mom life really changes.  You start to read labels more and think about what you are using in your house. You know the kids touch everything.  Oh, the things that go in those mouths too.  Sometimes you just cringe.  It is such a challenge though, you read the labels but who knows?  It can be a challenge to understand.  On the other hand you want a good way to keep things clean....especially those toys. They can really get so yucky. I recently had the opportunity to check out a new product from Bio Spectra that really is wonderful on all sides of the coin. Attitude® Toy Cleaner is a safe, fragrance-free product to sanitize all those toys. Now there is a way to safely clean those toys and feel good about what your kids are playing with each and every day.

I like that I can feel confident that Attitude is free of contaminants.  All those baby and toddler toys can get safely cleaned whether you are at home or out and about. I love that Attitude® Toy Cleaner is made with safe and natural ingredients.  I find it easy to use and I feel good about having it in my home. I used to hesitate to clean the toys regularly because I didn't want chemical residue on there that my child could ingest. Now that I have Attitude® Toy Cleaner I find myself cleaning toys more often and feeling more secure.
