Enviro-Log Firelogs And Enviro-Log Fire Starters #Review #HGG18 @EnviroLogFire

2018 Holiday Gift Guide, Reviews · 

I received the below mentioned complimentary product either for free or a discounted price for the purpose of this post. All opinions and thoughts are 100% my own.

Having a fire place in our home makes it feel so cozy and warm. I never imagined I would be the owner of a beautiful fireplace. I was thrilled to include Enviro-Logs in my Holiday Gift Guide 18. It is not only owning a fireplace but what is environmentally friendly that you use in it…

About Enviro-Logs~

Enviro-Log offers two must-have gifts for those that enjoy a cozy fire
in the fire pit or fireplace around the holidays.  Enviro-Log Firelogs
and Enviro-Log Firestarters are reliable and green, providing
long-lasting and clean-burning alternatives to firewood, kindling and
lighter fluid.  They are safe to cook over so you don’t have to worry
about nasty chemicals in your food, s’mores or marshmallows.

ENVIRO-LOG FIRELOGS (EASY LIGHTING ALTERNATIVE TO FIREWOOD)

Known as the greenest and most versatile firelogs on the market,
Enviro-Log Firelogs are the ultimate firewood substitute.  They are
quick and easy to light and don’t need a firestarter.  Enviro-Log
Firelogs are made from 100 percent recycled waxed cardboard and when
compared to firewood, Enviro-Log Firelogs burn cleaner, emitting 30
percent less greenhouse gases, 80 percent less carbon monoxide and 86
percent less creosote.  Enviro-Log Firelogs can also be stored and
burned in all weather conditions and can be transported for camping,
fishing, RVing, tailgating and other outdoor activities without the
concern of restrictions imposed on firewood by some states and
campsites.  Enviro-Log Firelogs are also great for emergency
preparedness because they have an infinite shelf life and are safe to
cook over.  They are also a popular choice for fire pits, wood stoves,
chimineas, and campfires.  They come in 5-pound and 3-pound sizes and
are available at select retailers, including Home Depot, Kmart, Lowes,
True Value, Rite Aid, Sears, Whole Foods and Walmart.  Each 5-pound
firelog will burn up to 3 hours and each 3-pound firelog will burn up
to 2 hours.  They can also be used to supplement your wood fires.

ENVIRO-LOG FIRESTARTERS (EASY WAY TO LIGHT FIREWOOD)

Enviro-Log Firestarters are made from 100 percent recycled
eco-friendly wax and offer an alternative to kindling, petroleum-based
starter blocks, lighter fluids and ethanol-based gels.  Each
firestarter provides up to 20 minutes of burn time with tall and
consistent flames that can even light firewood that has been dampened
with light snow or rain.  Burned to completion, each firestarter is
100 percent consumed and leaves no mess to clean up.  Ideal for back
packing, hiking, camping, fishing or tailgating, and emergency
preparedness, Enviro-Log Firestarters provide a safe, clean and
environmentally friendly way to start a fire anywhere.  They come in
boxes of 8 and 24 starts and can be purchased at select retail
locations, including Ace Hardware, Lowe’s, Rite Aid, The Home Depot
(Northeast Region) and many regional grocery and hardware retailers.

My Review/Thoughts~

I am in love with Enviro-logs! Not only are they very easy to lite with the Enviro-Logs Firestarter but they are good for our environment. I really thought that their would be on odd look to the fire or a bad smell but could not be farther from the truth. I noticed no difference at all to the logs.  All I did was unfold the ends of the wrap that surrounded the log and laid the log on our fireplace grate with the seam side up and lite it on fire. It caught fire right away. My normal logs that I used to use took forever to catch fire.

I give the Enviro-Log my highest recommendation and my thumbs up. This would make the perfect Holiday for that homebody on your list or for anyone who has a fireplace and you can go HERE to order them.

My Thoughts/ Review~

My cats just turned 10 and my husband has said for a while now that he wants to give them a bath. Now when I hear the word bath, I think of a tub, water and a lot of  scratches. I was thrilled when I received Quick Bath because I never knew their was an alternative to the conventional bath for pets.

Quick Bath wipes are formulated with effective cleaners that remove bacteria and odors from your pets skin. Quick Bath wipes contain Vitamins A & E and Aloe Vera which promotes an overall healthy skin and coat while leaving your pet clean and shiny. Quick Bath wipes are pH neutral and alcohol free.

  • Cleans and reduces Odor & Bacteria
  • Perfect for Cats that are difficult to clean or Elderly
  • Great for in–between baths
  • EXTRA THICK & heavy duty Wipes
  • Super Absorbant
  • Easy, safe and effective to use daily

Now it says “great for in-between baths” but if this is the only way you can bath your cat without the frustration of the conventional way at least it can be a game changer. My cats did not put up a fight at all when we bathed them this way. I thought the slight smell was actually soothing to me and my cats. They just laid on Eric’s lap and seemed to enjoy it.  If you know of any pet owners, This would make the perfect Holiday gift for any pet owner as this also comes in a wipe for dogs and even a tushee wipe.

I give the Quick Bath my highest recommendation and my thumbs up. You can go HERE to buy some for yourself or that special furry friend on your gift list.

Soul Insole #Review #HGG18 @soulinsole

2018 Holiday Gift Guide, Reviews · 

I received the below complimentary product either for free or a discounted price for the purpose of this review. All opinions and thoughts are 100% my own.

Sole Insole is the perfect Holiday gift for anyone who is on their feet all day or just has issues with their feet.

About The Product/Company~

These Are Orthotics With A Sole.

The first non-intrusive, reusable and universal orthotic.

We built a product that outlasts our competitors and works in any shoe no matter the size

The biomechanically designed shape of the Shoe Bubble effectively redistributes pressure evenly across the foot to relieve pressure from the heel and forefoot. The soft support helps to train your foot to strengthen its natural arch without causing the foot to become reliant on support.

Soul Insole’s flexible design works with your shoes, not against them!

The Soul Insole is an arch booster & can be added to a full length insert or directly placed into any shoe.
It utilizes the existing structure of the shoe to increase support to your arch. As it is flexible, it will feel different in a shoe that has no support vs. a shoe that already has some arch support.

My Review/Thoughts~

I remember when I was 6 years old and my Mom was packing up the kitchen, I was laying on a pile of cloths that needed washing. I tried standing up and all I can remember was the intense pain on the bottoms of my feet. The Doctor told me I had fallen arches and gave me a script for inserts. Back in the 70’s, The inserts were metal that only fit a style or 2 of shoes. Oh how I hated them.

When I tried the Soul Insoles, I was beyond excited as they fit perfect and gave me the comfort I have been longing for. They were easy to insert. Very comfortable and gave my feet the energy to last all day long. I love Soul Insoles. I cannot imagine using anything else.

I give Soul Insoles my highest recommendation and my thumbs up. This would make the perfect Holiday gift for yourself or for that special person on your gift list. You can order by going HERE.
