Ninjabread Cookie Cutters Review

Just bought the Ninjabread Cookie Cutters and I really love them! The Cookie Cutters are loads of fun for your kids as they get to cook their very own team of ninjas! Let them enjoy making their own cookies with the funny design from the Ninjabread Cookie Cutters, I am sure that your kids will love them. While using them, I experienced that it was very easy to use the Cookie Cutters, even the kids had no difficulties while making their favorite cookie! Made from rugged food-safe ABS plastic, it is not difficult to clean them; you just need to use some water and soap and they will look brand new again.

Deals Direct Online - Deal Aggregators

Well often today we see ourselves hopping online and looking for a bargain and deals direct to you. Today there are a million deals sites out there offering a myriad of deals every single day. From your Groupon style daily deals sites to your average online store with their daily deal offering. 

It can be hard to find the best deals so we now see the deal aggregators becoming more and more common and useful. A great site is http://www.allthedeals.com.au/ where you can find all the daily deals from all the big daily deals websites. Instead of receiving 1 million emails you will receive 1 with all the deals you like. Simple as that.

Finding more deals can be fun and I am always on the lookout. With Google you can type in what you’re looking for and go from there! But the question does rise, do we need all this stuff? And I am not sure that we do! Despite this as savvy customers we are more sensitive to price and always want a bargain. Whatever we buy, we love hitting that buy now button.

Scanpan

Everyday I go into my kitchen and whip something up for dinner and give little thought to the bits and pieces I am using - or my kitchenware. That was until I got myself some Scanpan cookware and realised what a massive difference it makes.

Some pots, pans and knives now adorn my kitchen with the marking Scanpan and cooking and cleaning is much easier now. I never thought spending a little bit more money than Woolworths kitchenware would be worth it but I am glad I did.

I feel a little bit more Masterchef now with my shiny cookware and love gonig home to create a taste sensation for dinner. So my advice is go out and get yourself some good cookware and see the difference.

Eco- friendly Bedtime Stories

“When you read a book as a child it becomes part of your identity in a way that no other reading in your whole life does.” Well, Meg said it there in You’ve Got Mail, every RomCom girl’s favourite New York love story, and I believe it. I remember parts of my childhood in association with characters I’d read in stories at the time. I remember holidays by the books Mum read to me, I learnt lessons and values from a football playing gorilla, a honey- eating bear and characters in a land entered through a wardrobe.

            But one thing I don’t remember learning, was the ethics behind caring for the environment. I think for me, that really came later. Why not make that lesson earlier?

In Todae’s online eco store there are some fantastic books you can read to your young ones in the sunshine in the backyard or even just before they pop into bed.

            Let’s Turn It Off is a beautifully written and illustrated resource which will encourage kids to read and to consider the importance of energy conservation and sustainable living from get go. Let’s Save Water is in a similar vain, with the aim of instilling respect and value for the environment. Both books are ideal for any children ages 3 and over- a prime time to teach them about caring for the beautiful world we live in.

            Our children can be so easily influenced by anything and everything around them, let’s get ahead of the game and teach them about things that matter.

Organic in your sight

With warmer weather approaching, I’m getting the urge to re-vamp my summer wardrobe. New swimsuit, new sandals, new sunnies! Have you ever considered an organic alternative to these summer essentials?

Organic sunglasses are increasing in popularity and demand. Like regular sunnies, organicsunglasses offer quality, great design and protection from harsh sun exposure. There is a large range of fashionable styles to choose from and colours too. World designers in glasses are now developing organic alternatives to their mainstream range.

Organic sunglasses are however eco- friendly. They are made from bamboo and tea wood, offering durability, quality and lightness. They offer great protection for your eyes from the Sun with stylish renewable fashion. Consider the organic alternative when you’re hunting around for sunglasses. You won’t believe your eyes!

Take away, take a coffee cup!

I have a take away coffee nearly every morning. I really love the taste of coffee, but I know that part of the enjoyment also comes from the routine. Even if you’re not a coffee drinker, maybe you indulge in a morning tea from your favourite café? Anyway, a couple of years ago I purchased a Hookturn Re-Useable coffee cup, after seeing the rubbish bin in our office piled high with polymer lined (code for non-recyclable) take away coffee cups. They come in different sizes – I got a medium which is 350ml.Since I enjoy using eco products, I decided to try. My main concern was that the coffee would somehow become infused with the silicone smell/flavor, but that certainly hasn’t happened. And another amazing thing about the cup is that it manages to keep the contents at a warm-drinkable temperature for at least an hour! Sometimes I buy a coffee but get distracted when I arrive at work and end up leaving it on my desk. No problems. Most take away cups end up in landfill. It takes 0.55MJ of energy to make a regular paper cup, whilst the equivalent grams of silicone uses 1.24MJ so after just 10 uses, the cup breaks even in terms of your environmental footprint. Fantastic! And they come in range of cute colours which never hurts :).

Grow a garden in your pocket

I’m not sure if I am alone in this (I’m guessing not), but I remember so fondly those class activities at school and even before, where we planted seeds, watered and watched them grow. I loved that preschool activity where we made little heads out of stockings stuffed with soil and seeds inside.

            Well, I’ve found something that even younger kids can enjoy. The Pocket Garden Kids is so simple, you cut it open, add seeds and water and watch it grow. It really does seem that one of the greatest things you can do as a child (and arguably at any age) is create. The excitement and satisfaction your child is guaranteed to experience is a must.

            The fantastic thing about activities such as these is that it is not simply entertainment for your child. It’s not even about trying to keep them occupied for a while. In encouraging them to plant seeds, to water and watch them grow, you will be encouraging your children to consider the environment. When they plant seeds and care for them as they grow, they are seeing the importance of caring for the environment. This is a great way to get your kids thinking, from the earliest of ages, about the environment, nurturing it and living in an eco- friendly way.
