Ecover Dishwasher Tablets Review

I normally only use dishwasher detergent that is loose powder, but when I got the chance to review Ecover Dishwasher Tablets I thought I'd give them a try. 

I was surprised at what a great job these did cleaning my dishes and how easy they were to use.  Just open it up, stick it in the area, and tada, it's ready to go!  These got my dishes spotless and did not cause any problems with my dishwasher.  My dishwasher is 7 years old and if I use certain detergents in it it rattles and makes all kinds of nasty noises as if it was going to die.  This had it running very smoothly! 

I loved these and do recommend them!  They lasted so long for such a small box too!  Oh I should mention that I have very hard well water so certain detergents don't clean at all.

Glass Dharma Glass Straws Review

I recently received some of Glass Dharma's glass straws to try out and have found a new love affair. 

I should start by saying that I hate plastic.  I don't use plastic at all anymore.  I use quart or pint jars for leftovers or I do have a few glass rubbermaids that I use.  I just don't like plastic.  I also don't have a microwave, but that's another story.

Anyway it has been a long time since I've used a straw.  I was very excited to get to use a straw again.  The four I got to try were one for a smoothie, one that is bent, a small child version, and a regular with amber beads(love the beads)!  I also received 2 cleaning brushes.  The brushes are sold separately though.

this is the smoothie straw(extra large inside) and brush

see how well the brush cleans it!

the small children's size straw

I just love these pretties on this straw!
I am totally in love and can't wait to be able to get more so the kids can each have one.  My kids hate having to share the one child size straw so we've had to assign each of them a day to have the straw.  Luckily one of the kids hasn't figured out how to use a straw yet so we've got 7 kids for 7 days!

These are dishwasher safe.  So I've been saying kids but they call them sipper size(but they are perfect for kids)!!!  The decorative beads do come in different colors as well so make sure to check those out.  Don't forget to check out their brushes and straw sleeves!  How cute are those!

EcoStore Review Dish Detergent and Laundry Detergent

If you're like me you're constantly doing laundry and dishes.  I would say that almost half of my day is spent doing these two things!  I was thrilled to get to try out EcoStore's laundry detergent and dishwash liquid.

The dishwash liquid is a 32 ounce bottle and you don't need much to work up a bunch of suds and great cleaning capabilities!  This leaves my hands soft and my dishes sparkling with minimal scrubbing required.  It is plant based and without harsh chemicals so your children can wash the dishes with you!

love the "no nasty chemicals"

my favorite part!  Made in the USA!!


Laundry Liquid Detergent  This will work in both high efficiency washing machines or standards.  If you use an expensive for HE only detergent, I recommend switching to this detergent!  It says 25 HE loads or 15 standard, but I used this for over 2 weeks straight of only this and I do an average of 12 loads per week!  My clothes smelled wonderful and felt so soft when they were done. 

this looked like a very small bottle

looks are deceiving!
