What do you recycle?


Consider yourself a green mamma? You recycle? Well how about your tooth brush? What happens to them when you are done using them? Well Preserve not only makes their toothbrushes out of recycled yogurt cups but they take extra steps to insure you recycle them once your done with them as well!

Recycline's Preserve toothbrushes are made of 100% recycled #5 plastic yogurt cups. Regardless if you city recycles #5 plastics or not when you are done with it you can either throw it in your recycle bin or if you are in a city that does not recycle #5s you can just print off one of the postage paid mailing labels and send it right back to Recycline along with the case it came in and they will recycle it themselves. Recycled toothbrushes are turned into things like plastic decking, picnic tables, and even boardwalks! Pretty cool eh?

Recycline makes a whole line of toothbrushes for both adults and kids. Each of the child sized toothbrushes feature a endangered species on the packaging and with each purchase you help support the National Wildlife Federation. Each new batch of toothbrushes brings new endangered species featured, so you can learn about endangered species with each purchase.

If helping the environment is not enough, I'd like to add that each toothbrush sells for $2.04 at Target and currently you can print out a coupon for $1.00 of two toothbrushes which for about $1.52 a toothbrush after the coupon you'd be hard pressed to find a good quality toothbrush for less!!


To get your $1.00 coupon go here. Thank you Mom Central for the coupon as well as letting us know about Recycline.

Beauty Review : Bella B Skin Care


If you've never heard of Bella B and your pregnant or have recently had a baby.. tsk tsk, you must go check them out!!

If your fair skinned like me, stretch marks are a reality of a pregnancy (or any weight loss or gain).. and until now I have never had a product that really helped prevent or even fade those pesky lines. Bella B Tummy Honey on the other hand has shown a noticeable difference in just a few short weeks.

When you put the cream on, unlike other stretch mark creams I have tried, the area stays moist for hours (no minutes) and any dry skin issues I may have had are relieved ALL day. I only wish I had used this when I was pregnant, possibly Id have less lines now, not to mention the horrible itchiness I experienced on my baby bump.

Along with Tummy Honey, Bella B offers a whole line of Mom friendly skin care products. I'd love to try their bright eyes cream as except for the weekends Connor visits his grandparents I rarely get more than 5 hours of sleep a night and I'm sure I'm paying for that especially in the under eye area. I try not to look honestly as I don't really want to know.

Want some?
Tummy Honey is available at most major reatliers as well as on Amazon!

Win it!
I'm giving away a 4oz tube of Tummy Honey to one of my readers!!
