Caldrea Review

Caldrea is a company that offers a variety of products for your house and body that are Earth friendly.  They use natural and plant based ingredients to create their products.  They have come up with a simple way to clean your home and still be Earth conscious about it.  

Caldrea offers laundry care products including laundry soap, dryer sheets and more.  Their products come in some really great fragrances.  I personally think either the Basil Blue Sage or Ginger Pomelo sound like they would smell really good.  The fragrances they offer sound super fresh!

They also offer household cleaning products too.  They offer a powdered scrub, countertop cleanser, dish soap and more.  These all come in a variety of great fragrances too.  They are offered in natural scents that sound like they would make your home smell amazing after it was cleaned too.  Mandarin Vetiver sounds amazing.  

I received a wonderful handsoap to try out.  I love lavender, so I was thrilled to see that the scent was lavender pine.  The handsoap does a great job cleansing, but I love the way it leaves my hands smelling too! You can purchase the Caldrea lavender pine handsoap directly from their website.  It is currently on sale for $7.88 too!  The handsoap is also available in different fragrances as well.

I also received a kitchen fragrance diffuser from Caldrea's sister brand.  This is sold exclusively at Target and is from the Caldrea Essentials Collection.  I am always looking for ways to freshen the air, but I'm not big on artificial scents.  I received the diffuser in an Herbs of Provence scent.  This is a combination of essential oils from thyme, sage and rosemary.  It smells fresh and crisp.  I love it.  It's not too strong either.  The diffuser was very easy to set up too.  You simply pour the oil into the vessel and put the ceramic wick back in.  This is a great alternative to artificially fragranced air fresheners.

Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day Laundry Detergent Review

I have seen Mrs. Meyer's Laundry Detergent in the stores and have always wondered about it.  It looked like something I would be interested in trying.  Mrs. Meyer's doesn't just make laundry soap though.  They also offer a variety of neat cleaning products too.  They are unique in that they are made with 97% natural ingredients.  

Mrs. Meyer created these products because she wanted a product that worked well, but also smelled great. She did an excellent job doing that too!  The fragrances available in these products are very fresh smelling.  Mrs. Meyer's products are available in the following fragrances. . . . . . 

Basil

Lavender 

Lemon Verbena

Geranium

Rosemary 

Honeysuckle

Parsley 

Baby Blossom

Which fragrance would you want to try out?  I received some of the Lemon Verbena Laundry Detergent.  It smells very good.  It's light and crisp smelling, but not overpowering.  Mrs. Meyer's Laundry Detergent comes in a pretty compact bottle considering it is a 68 load bottle.  I love that you only need about a tablespoon for a load of laundry.  This is a concentrated detergent.  It worked great on my clothes and my kid's clothes too.  It did a great job cleaning them and left them with a nice mild fragrance.  It is available for purchase directly from their website for $15.99 for the bottle.  

Mrs. Meyer's also offers a variety of other products too.  They offer dryer sheets, dish soap, surface scrub and more.  What would you want to try?

You can connect with Mrs. Meyer's on Facebook and Twitter to learn more.

Perky Plus Stain Remover Review

Do you have kids and pets?  If you do you might be like me and are always looking for a really good 

stain remover for things like carpets and upholstery.  I have tried a number of them and it's very hard to find one that truly removes stains.  I found out about Perky Plus Stain Remover and was excited to give it a try.  I have 2 cats and 2 children, so you know I need it once in awhile.  

Perky Plus Stain Remover is formulated for all types of different stains.  It is also effective on neutralizing odors.  If you have a pet this is absolutely a bonus!  The product is made by Groom Industries.  They actually have a 35 year reputation in the cleaning product industry.  

I put the Perky Plus Stain Remover to to work right away.  One of my kids had spilled milk on an area rug and I thought I had cleaned up up well.  When the stain dried it ended up being a little darker than the rest of the rug.  It did a great job removing the stain from my carpet easily.  The Perky Plus Stain Remover worked well and I didn't have to scrub the area forever to get it to work!  I will definitely be keeping this on hand for future stains and spills.  Do you have something you would like to try it on?  You can purchase the Perky Plus Stain Remover directly from their website.  You can also save 50% off of your order by using the coupon code 50OFFGRM.  

After Treating the stain with Perky Plus

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Beyond the Ribbon Blend - Ponderosa Coffee Roasting Company Review

Coffee is something that I personally take very seriously!  I have to have my coffee every single morning.  I also think that good quality coffee is important.  Having a good cup of coffee to get my day going right is even more important to me.  

About Ponderosa Roasting Company - 

It was started by Cheryl and her husband.  I find this truly fascinating.  They created a coffee roasting system that has a touch screen control.  Very neat!  This is something that nobody else in the coffee industry has done.  It also has a lot of benefits because of the way the controls are set up.  It has helped create an amazing roast on the Ponderosa Coffee!  They are located in San Diego, CA.  The coffee is made with quality and done so in small batches.

Ponderosa Roasting  Coffee Company offers a variety of different coffees.  They offer flavored coffees, organic coffees, single origin coffees, coffee blends and decaf coffee.  What kind of coffee do you normally drink?  They even have two types of coffee where the proceeds benefit fundraisers.  

They also offer some coffees that are called Coffees with a Cause.  These coffees are not only wonderful, but the idea behind them is neat too!  So what is Coffee with a Cause?  A portion of the proceeds goes towards helping a cause.  I received a sample of Beyond the Ribbon Blend.  The coffee itself was excellent.  It has a great flavor, but it's not acidic.  It was smooth and full bodied.  However, some of the proceeds from this excellent coffee goes towards the Pretty in Pink Foundation.  What is the Pretty in Pink Foundation?  It helps underinsured or uninsured breast cancer patients.  Right now the foundation is just in North Carolina.  They are attempting to expand their efforts to nationwide though!  Each bag of this coffee retails for $12 if you are interested in purchasing your own.

You can learn more about the Ponderosa Coffee Roasting Company by visiting their website.  You can also find them on Facebook and Twitter.
