..simple green review & giveaway..

**THE GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED. THANK YOU FOR ENTERING**

Recently I was sent a sample of Simple Green to try and review.

Simple Green is a non-toxic and biodegradable cleaner that comes in several strengths and variates, including those for every day household use, non-abrasive stone cleaner, pet stain & odor remover and more.

I was sent a bottle of concentrated Original Simple Green along with a dilution bottle and instructions so that I could choose the strength that I wanted to use. I mixed up a bottle of regular strength and went around looking for things that needed cleaning. Here's a short video of me cleaning the bathtub.

As you can see, it cleaned up that mess really easily. One day I went to get my Simple Green cleaner from the closet and it wasn't there. My husband had taken it and had been using it while he was working on his car. He had taken my bottle and amped it up to extra strength. He used it for everything from cleaning car parts to pouring it onto greasy spots on our driveway. My husband and I can now both recommend Simple Green. We definitely put it to the test ourselves and were very pleased with the results.

Giveaway
One person will win the same thing that I received, a 32oz. bottle of concentrated Original Simple Green, a dilution bottle and instructions.

..costumes at eden fantasys..

I can't believe that it's almost Fall again. One of my favorite things about Fall is Halloween! Last year I didn't get to dress up because I had two newborn little bitties at home, but this year I can. I was browsing EdenFantasys and saw they had some cute (and sexy) costumes. Some of them are more revealing than others, and I haven't shed all of my baby weight yet, lol. But there were lots of them that had great coverage, like this Pirate Wench costume! I love the hat!

I also really like this Cougar Catsuit costume, and the Eskimo costume.

Even if you're not in the market for a costume, they have lots of other items too. I found some beeswax aromatherapy candles with a nutmeg scent that I bet smell amazing! And this Chemistry Bubble Bath set is just too cute!

Scents like Lemon Mint and Rose, yum! Give me the bubbles and the candles surrounding the tub, and don't disturb me for half an hour!! :) So check out EdenFantasys for all kinds of fun stuff, even if you're not Halloween shopping. They have so many different products that I'm sure you'll find something you like!
