LooHoo Wool Dryer Balls
Today I am sharing with you a company I found called LooHoo. They have wool dryer balls of many colors.
LooHoo wool dryer balls (formerly Wooly Rounds) are a playful, sustainable alternative to dryer sheets that helps protect your family’s health and the environment.
Unlike many commercial dryer sheets, LooHoo wool dryer balls are all-natural and contain no harmful chemicals or toxins, making them ideal to use with all laundry including delicate garments such as baby clothes and cloth diapers. As LooHoo wool dryer balls tumble in your dryer, they naturally soften fabrics leaving your clothes smelling fresh and clean.
Here is the package that I was sent.
Starter pack (3) – $26.85
Starter packs of 3 are a perfect amount for those that are new to using LooHoo wool dryer balls. Ideal for small to medium loads in apartment or regular-size dryers. Assorted colors are packaged in a reusable cloth bag.These are great for our purpose. I really love them. They really eliminate the static and the clothing comes out less wrinkled. I can not wait to get more of these and add to my dryer. I'm not sure how many are the right number to have in your stash but I'm sure that you can't have to many of them. I would love to have some colored ones as well.

IL Bere Wine Charms
If you are like me and you love to relax with a glass at anytime then you will love this review. This review is from IL Bere Wine Charms.
Wine charms are not new by any stretch – Chrissy and Marnette wanted to do something different than the standard stem-secured charm. Their desire was to create something original, yet classic. The vintage earring look was something the two saw in Venice, Italy – they were very taken with the vintage jewelry there, especially the earrings. So while playing with their new purchases, they attached them with their clip to the rim of our wine glasses. They thought, “Wow, these are really beautiful, wouldn’t it be great to use them all the time as wine charms?” So the process of trying to figure out where and how to attach them began. The result is the first ever vintage wine charm, which sits beautifully on the side of the wine glass or uniquely on the base of the wine glass stem.
In the spirit of being “green” and attempting to re-use existing products, nearly all of the wine charms are created out of antique/vintage earrings. The Il bere ladies spend hours each week locating, purchasing, cleaning, and creating the wine charms. Any earrings purchased and not used for the wine charms are re-sold or donated and put back in circulation.
I was sent 2 sets of their wine charms. The first is from their Classic collection and it is called Serengeti and retail for $14.99.
The are really secure and will not fall off in your glass. I can not wait to use this for New Years at our house. This would make a great gift for a wine lover who has everything but not enough wine bling.

Is a Submersible Pump Ideal For A Garden Pond?
Did you know that ponds help preserve the environment?
You may not realize, but by implementing a pond in a section of your lawn, you
are conserving energy, hence saving money and preserving the environment in the
process. Reduce stress that takes place in your life with a pond that has duo
purposes. In addition, help your water flow with a pond pump that will filter
water and keep the earth clean.
Pond pumps are important water pumps that are used to
filter water in garden ponds. They are also used in fountains and similar water
sources in a garden area or front yard. Pond pumps are important to ensure that
the water is flowing in the pond and that there is no stagnancy which can
result in dirt and dust accumulating at the water surface. This can in turn
result in various water-borne diseases. Therefore, one needs to use these types
of pumps for their ponds.
Pond pumps are generally of two basic types. One is known
as submersible pond
pumps that are placed inside the pond; whereas, the other pump is
called external pumps. External pumps are generally placed outside the pond.
They are considered more efficient than their submersible variants. One can
find the external pumps in common usage. This is more because of the small size
of the garden ponds. If you have a small pond in the garden, then there are
chances that a submersible pump might not be able to fit in a pond. In this
case, you need to use an external pump for your pond.
The use of submersible pond pumps is seen in ponds that a
bigger size than the ones using external pumps. Such ponds can easily have a
submersible pump placed at their bottom without it occupying a lot of space.
The best part about these pumps is that they can be easily installed. Whereas,
in case of external pumps, one has to find proper installation and safety
checks to ensure that the external pump does not block the way or result in any
mishaps.
Submersible pumps are considered better than even jet
pumps. They push the fluid or water towards the surface of the pond. This
phenomenon is an opposite of the work carried out by jet pumps. The water
pushed to the surface by the submersible pumps gives a brilliant effect of
water pumped out and it looks like a mini-fountain. One also gets to see the
flowing water in the pond that does not remain stagnant.
Therefore, if you are
planning to use a pond pump in order to have flowing water in your garden pond,
then you can consider a submersible pump as a better option. Though it is not
as efficient as an external pump, it is much safer and is also easier to
install than any other pump in the garden area. Preserve water and help cut
back on costs with a nice looking pond and pond pump that will help the water
flow in your garden area.
Paige One enjoys writing about a variety
of topics. Find submersible pond ponds that help improve your garden and watch
it thrive and grow.
A Clear Simple and Precise Tree Survey
Trees, as well as the development relationship to them, have often been controversial and points of concern with many applications. The submission of applications requirements stipulate that trees should be plotted on plans of application where development proposals may affect them. The established British Standards for positioning and construction of trees should be taken into account by the developers when designing as well as positioning extensions or new buildings. More often, these developers do not adhere to these standards leading to application or submission amendments. This will delay the determination of a proposal.
A survey for impact on trees assessment ensures that there is successful integration and retention of trees into developments whether large scale or small scale. Tree survey and information is required where there are trees within the location of an application site or on land that is adjacent, which may have an influence on the development. Surveying encompasses incorporation of arboricultural as well as ecological consultancy in order to provide tree owners and land managers with the complete services as required. It involves assessing ecological considerations among them the potential availability or presence of endangered and protected species like the bats, badgers or birds. A detailed climbed inspection for bats and the other species is recommended where it is required. This can be undertaken by the professional tree climbing personnel issued with the licenses for the latest bat handling disturbances agencies.
A survey for impact on trees must be done in case a building or earthworks have been proposed within a range of 15 metres from the tree base. Other inclusions that require survey for impact assessment include the storage of equipment and materials, digging of service trenches and also site access using heavy machinery. A lot of data will be needed within the 15m area concerning the trees that should be retained as well as the reasons as to why the retained tree are more important than the others that will have to be felled. A clear proof of why the retained trees will not be affected adversely by the new development should be provided too. Furthermore, an explanation of how to protect these trees against the construction impacts should be given by a qualified and suitable arboriculturist. During tree surveys for impact, consultants may recommend that a climbed inspection be carried out to ascertain the risk level in a particular feature or branch in case the structural defects are not clearly visible from the ground. This enables the surveyors investigate or examine the features at close quarters.
A safety survey for impact on trees should provide the land managers and owners of the trees with a response that is professional with regard to the issue of the liability associated with ownership of trees. The survey must be conducted with a detailed safety assessment of each individual tree in the urban centres, public open spaces, estates, large woodlands etc. The survey should use the best methodologies that suit the clients to provide a defensible approach for tree management in terms of liabilities and risks. The report data must be presented in a range of formats such as tabulation in a clear but simple reporting to help in design and decision making. Also, tree surveyors, must be backed up with extensive planning system experience as well as the CAD mapping and precise reporting. They should as well work closely with planners, engineers, architects and tree officers. For further more information you can check this website.

Complementing Your Complexion: Choosing the Right Colors & Investing in Eco-Friendly Beauty Companies
The perfect accessory, clothing piece,
hairstyle, or makeup combination can transform a woman’s look from mediocre to
magnificent. Women who manage to pull of fierce and fabulous style in the midst
of work, kids, managing a home, and having a life deserve applause. While it
may seem that some women have the knack for looking great, the truth is that
many of these women have sought the advice of experts. Their color, style, and
beauty choices aren’t simply stumbled upon -- they’ve done their research to
find out what works and doesn’t work for them and their lifestyles while
supporting the earth simultaneously.
Many women opt for to hire a stylist, carve out time to read beauty magazines, or seek advice from makeup artists to merge into their everyday lives. Other women know the power of false eyelashes, virgin Indian hair extensions, a perfect pair of earrings, or the right shade of bronzer. They may also look for makeup colors and products that are earth friendly, which thankfully are becoming more frequent in the market today. One easy place to start in your beauty education is to consider which colors actually enhance your beauty rather than just sitting plainly on your body, or even working against you. As you research which colors work best for you, look for companies that reuse materials from the earth, making it easier to invest in an eco-friendly makeup company and finding the perfect colors along the way.
Start by determining your basic skin tone. You’ll want to have a mirror and a well-lit place to do this. Natural light is best. The first question to ask yourself is whether your complexion has warm or cool tones. If you’re not an artist, these terms might be confusing. Warm complexions have undertones of yellow, peach or red. Cool tones have undertones of pink, violet, or blue. If you’re having trouble figuring it out, try on a few colors. If ivory, yellow/green, bright orange, red/orange, or dark brown look good on you, your skin tone is warm. If pure white, blue/green, bright pink, burgundy or black look good on you, your skin tone is cool. Consider the colors you’ve been complimented on in the past. These are good indicators of what your skin tone is.
Consider three very important factors: skin, eyes, and hair. Colors that work for you should add glow to the skin and bring out the color of the hair and eyes. Some colors may not look awful, but they still may not be your best colors. Even if you find one or two colors that work best for you, try not to outfit your entire wardrobe in these colors. Also, as you use the best colors that work for you, keep in mind that you can invest in eco-friendly makeup that will help save the earth! You can blend them into outfits with other colors as well to keep your wardrobe chic, your complexion fresh, and also save the earth all at once!

Mod Straps Review & giveaway
Like most blogger and moms I do not go anywhere without a camera. I have 2 different ones that I use. One that I use for every day that I will just throw in my purse and a Canon SLR that I use for photography. That is why I was so excited to get my Mod Strap and try it out.
A little about the owners....mod. is a mother and daughter owned business created by Jeannie Cheatham and Amber Clay. An avid photo enthusiast, Amber was searching for a new camera strap. All she found were low quality straps in limited basic styles and colors. She set out to create her own strap cover using her existing strap as the base. Choosing stylish fabrics in vibrant colors and textures, she began sewing on her grandmother’s old sewing machine with Jeannie’s help. The idea for a business was taking form.
Originally Jeannie and Amber planned to offer their camera strap covers to a local camera store, on a consignment basis. Soon they were contacted by an independent sales representative who had seen their products. He took their creations to other camera stores and found strong interest and enthusiasm.
Jeannie and Amber soon came to realize that the product photographers wanted was not simply a camera strap cover but a high quality, durable, and stylish camera strap. They began their search for a manufacturer. They were strong in their conviction that they wanted their product manufactured in the USA.
The mother-daughter team continues to design new straps and accessories for cameras. They have also expanded their product line by adding designer sleeves for laptops, tablets and e-readers as well as ID-phone cases. More product line extensions are in the works, all fashioned from a handpicked variety of fabrics, colors and textures. The response has been tremendous. mod. is now sold in stores all over the world and is also available for purchase on their website.
Throughout their journey their business has been and always will be grounded in their faith in God, family, and friends.
I choose to review one of their Premium camera straps that retail for $48.50. The one shown is Turquoise Flower.
Sensible, sophisticated, and savvy, you are a woman who demands high fashion with practicality… and who says you can’t have it all? mod.’s Premium Strap offers the ultimate in comfort, utility, and style. Along with its stylish design & plush signature lining, the Premium strap comes equipped with our “quick release” feature, which allows you to disconnect your strap with ease. Go ahead: be the Total Package!
• Decorative portion of the strap: 33” long
• Total adjustable length: 42” -48”; 1.75” wide

A little about the owners....mod. is a mother and daughter owned business created by Jeannie Cheatham and Amber Clay. An avid photo enthusiast, Amber was searching for a new camera strap. All she found were low quality straps in limited basic styles and colors. She set out to create her own strap cover using her existing strap as the base. Choosing stylish fabrics in vibrant colors and textures, she began sewing on her grandmother’s old sewing machine with Jeannie’s help. The idea for a business was taking form.
Originally Jeannie and Amber planned to offer their camera strap covers to a local camera store, on a consignment basis. Soon they were contacted by an independent sales representative who had seen their products. He took their creations to other camera stores and found strong interest and enthusiasm.
Jeannie and Amber soon came to realize that the product photographers wanted was not simply a camera strap cover but a high quality, durable, and stylish camera strap. They began their search for a manufacturer. They were strong in their conviction that they wanted their product manufactured in the USA.
The mother-daughter team continues to design new straps and accessories for cameras. They have also expanded their product line by adding designer sleeves for laptops, tablets and e-readers as well as ID-phone cases. More product line extensions are in the works, all fashioned from a handpicked variety of fabrics, colors and textures. The response has been tremendous. mod. is now sold in stores all over the world and is also available for purchase on their website.
Throughout their journey their business has been and always will be grounded in their faith in God, family, and friends.
