Did you know that according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the air indoors may be up to 100 times more polluted than the air outside and it is estimated people spend 90% of their time indoors?

The one investment that can dramatically improve the quality of the air you breathe is an air purifier. In fact, here’s a list of the immediate effects of having one in your room:

  • Purify the air by removing allergens including pollen, dust, animal dander, mold and smoke. Also effective in controlling germs like bacteria and viruses.
  • Rid the air of unwanted odors from smoking, cooking and pets.
  • Clean the air by removing toxic fumes from common household products and cleaning agents, including chemical emissions from new carpet, paint or wallboard.
  • Get a good night’s sleep from breathing fresh, circulated air.
  • Get a cleaner house and do less dusting!

Therapure is the perfect solution because it is a three part cleaning system that removes allergens and pollutants including mold spores, pet hair and dander; kills bacteria and germs such as mildew and viruses that can trigger asthma, allergies, bronchitis, and other respiratory ailments; and removes toxic fumes caused by such agents as household cleaners, toxic paint, and new carpet.

With its unique three step system, including UV light, the Therapure air purification system helps to keep the house clean of dust and other pollutants. In addition, Therapure’s permanent HEPA type filter never needs replacing (it only requires periodic vacuuming), it is low power consumption-energy efficient, and it has a built-in ionizer to revitalize air as well as a twelve hour timer.

The purification process begins with the HEPA filter, which removes allergens and pollutants. Next, the UV lamp kills bacteria and germs on contact. The final stage belongs to the Photocatalyst filter, which removes VOC’s (Volatile Organic Compounds) such as household chemicals like toxic paint, chemical emissions from new carpet, and indoor air pollution. This Triple Action Purification Process provides maximum protection and instant clean and breathable air.

My family and I suffer from allergies so I was delighted to try out the Therapure air purification system recently. I have been using it in our home for about a month and I definitely noticed a difference in the quality of our indoor air.  In the family room, the air was noticably fresher and I found myself using less deodorizers/plugins.  In our bedrooms, it was great because pollutants were being removed and I wasn’t sneezing as often.

Therapure was lightweight, extremely quiet and very easy to operate. It was also economical because there are no HEPA filters to purchase or replace and cleaning was simple. We look forward to using Therapure for years to come! 

Price: $49.99 and up.  It is available at your local retailers – like Costco, Fred Meyer, Shopko, Target, and Walmart.

Way Out Wax has been handcrafting high quality all-natural aromatherapy candles in the Green Mountains of Vermont for 15 years. Their collection of candles are scented only with pure essential oils and do not contain harmful synthetic fragrance chemicals. 

I had the pleasure of sampling candles from their Aromatherapy collection and they all smelled amazing!  Sweet Dreams was the first candle that I tried and it was a mix of lavender, lemongrass and marjoram. It was very soothing and was the perfect prelude to a peaceful sleep.   Lavender was my next candle and it had a calming aroma that made it easy to relax and rest.   Clear Head was the final candle and it was a combination of eucalyptus, peppermint & rosemary. Its cooling blend opens the sinuses and is useful in aiding concentration and fighting mental fatigue. I actually used Clear Head when I was sick with a cold over a week ago and it did provide soothing relief. 

Besides the Aromatherapy collection, other products include Clean Air (all-natural odor remover), Garden Peace (effectively deter insects), Vermont Soy (travel tins for aromatherapy-on-the-go), Non-Scented (high quality without essential oils) and several gift baskets.

You will definitely fall in love with the collection at Way Out Wax – so shop today to take advantage of free shipping for online orders of $100 or more!

Gigi Blanki

I absolutely adore the new gigi blanki from The Gigi Blanki Co.! They are designer baby blankets, custom-made with the most luxurious fabrics. Just the right size for little hands & tiny cheeks, one side is soft, fuzzy and nubby — and the other side is silky and comforting. The gigi collection also includes stylish tooth fairy cases (toothi) and fashion-forward burp cloths (burpi).

Our gigi blanki (pictured above) has a Chocolate color nubby side and a Chocolate Latte pattern for the silky side. The blanki was super soft & looked amazing. I was very impressed with the richness of the colors and how easy it was to clean.  Brianna loved snuggling & toting “her blanki” around our home as a security blanket.

Every gigi product is unique and bears a distinctive logo patch. Best of all, the collection is designed by you and custom-made to meet your color specifications, which is great for matching a favorite color or outfit. View the gigi gallery of favorites here.

On my recent trip to Whole Foods Market, I had the opportunity to use a skeeda reusable grocery bag. It was very lightweight and had plenty of room for my fruits, veggies and frozen foods. The canvas bag was comfortable on my shoulder as I walked to my car and easy to store when not in use.

It actually felt good to be “environment friendly” by using skeeda’s bag because I was one of the ones asking for plastic at the checkout a few weeks ago. As I was doing my research, I was amazed to learn that 96% of all plastic bags end up in our landfills and that the US consumes 100 billion plastic shopping bags annually requiring approximately 12 million barrels of oil. These are alarming statistics and its important for us all to start saving energy and helping our environment.

So, if you haven’t started using reusable bags, start today!

Stylish Factor: The bags come in fashionable designs and can be used as a purse or everyday tote.

Price: $15

A few weeks ago, I received the 2008 Hot Mama Calendar in the mail! It definitely grabbed my attention because the cover was pink and appeared to be like no other calendar I had seen. I flipped through each calendar month and saw portraits of 11 beautiful mothers with their children. Each month included the mom’s personal quote of advice.

My favorite quote was from Kathy (December Hot Mama) – “Raise your babies with the most priceless gift, the gift of confidence. Confident babies, grow into confident adults; they will always love you and appreciate that you did so.”

The Hot Mama calendar came packed with extra goodies, too. It features large squares to track your daily events, long notes section for each month , fun sticker pages with 378 reminder stickers, 16 tear-off grocery & to do lists, 2008 event reminder page, 4 pages of emergency contacts & phone numbers, large babysitting notes section and one month of space to insert your own photo of your favorite Hot Mama!

So what does it mean to be a Hot Mama – smart, stylish and strong – and that is definitely you!

Stylish Factor: A portion of the calendar proceeds will be donated to Donors Choose which is a charity that provides students in need with resources that public schools often lack. It is also a fun calendar that is perfect for busy moms.

Price: $19.99

Every mom should own a steamer and what better one to own than the Joy Mangano – My Little Steamer! It is a very sleek, convenient 850-watt steamer that gets your wrinkles out in minutes without the hassle of ironing (and pulling out the ironing board).

The steamer comes with three attachments – lint, soft-bristle and firm-bristle. It has a removable steamer cap, water-level window, comfort-grip handle, and its very own matching drawstring bag. Available colors for the steamer include platinum, linen, sage, wedgewood, yellow, black and lavender.

I used my sage colored Joy Mangano – My Little Steamer on window panels, dust ruffles, clothing items and anything else I found that needed steaming. It was very easy to use and only needs regular tap water (no additives necessary). The final results were superb!
