School Of Wash Hand Made Hair & Body Spritz Review, in GreenTea & Lemon Grass.

You had me at Lemongrass & Greentea.  Not only did School Of Wash create Handmade Bath Products, like Hair and Body Spritz, but it is also Paraben-free, Talc-free, SLS-free, Sulfate-free, Sodium Chloride-free and no added colors or dyes.  I am totally a healthy hair snob, mainly because I donate my locks, and if it's not good enough for my hair, it's not good enough for my son's either.

The first thing I noticed about the spray, was the aluminum bottle.  As soon as I opened the box, I spritzed my hair, and face. Experienced a fine, cool mist on my face.  It's humid here lately, so it was highly welcomed, and much needed.  The scent of the Lemongrass & GreenTea Hair & Body Spritz genuinely compliments eachother perfectly without overpowering.   It's just a light, natural crisp aroma. The best I can explain the scent, is a sweet, earthy smell.  Some of the ingredients inside the spray itself are organic aloe juice, witch hazel, organic black willowbark extract, and tea tree essential oil. Since it passed my test, I decided to try it on my 2 year olds hair.  He has super fine strawberry blonde hair that he will twist, and knot up.  With the School Of Wash Spray It hasn't been a horrible task to keep his handsome locks straight. Great products like these just aren't for little girls.  I prefer products like these for my son.  It smells great, it does a superior job keeping his hair shiney, and knot free.  Plus he knows he's adoreable, and isn't stinky.

Bonus. School Of Wash can be for Her, Him, Kids, and Pets.  

There are literaly hundreds of different hand made scent variations to pick from School Of Wash. I am a sucker for leave in conditioners, and I find myself using SOW, and backburnered the others. I already want to try SOW's Cherry Almond, and then the Eucalyptus & Spearmint. Honestly, One of every smell I would probably squeal over, and baby my hair even more (I still haven't cut it yet this year to donate to locks of love!! I am going to soon. This will be my 5th time donating since Fracturing my leg.  I figured since I have cadavers, and an ORIF in my leg, the most I can do is donate my hair to someone that needs it, someone donated their bones so I can still walk. I'll keep donating my hair til that day comes I can give more too.)

I honestly spritz my face, and hair before leaving the house into this heat.  

School Of Wash has earned a Label on my blog, as Holiday Gift Guide Worthy.  Well for any time of the year too, but if anyone wants to know what to get me, or to donate one to someone in need?? THIS! This would be great!  For more info on how to donate to A Little Sunshine In A Bottle, to help The organization, Lily Pad, whom provides a 24-hour crisis line, forensic interviews, forensic exams and evidence collection, medical accompaniment, legal advocacy and support groups for victims and their families. , you can read it here on School Of Wash's page.  Everything behind this company is admireable.  It's unreal that this was created by love, and wanting to share at camp, to now this.  

I received product to facilitate a review.  The Product does say external use only, and keep out of reach of children, which is normal.  That just means don't let the kiddo drink it, or rub it in membranes that shouldn't have anything irritable in, 'nuff said.

Don't forget to check out School Of Wash at SchoolOfWash.com, Facebook, and Twitter.  Think you've tried a lot of differen't hair, and body spritz,  browse through their drop down menus for scents, and I bet there's atleast 100 varations you haven't tried yet.

Crescent Moon Shaped Solar Powered String Lights Review 20 LED Lights on a String, from TMART.com

I have been using my Solar Powered Moon Shaped String Lights from TMART.com inside.   The Solar Power Mono crystalline or polycrystalline silicon solar cells work well enough by just charging ontop of my computer armoire while the base is pointed towards the window.  This proves they can be used inside, not just outside.  

As you can see, the Crescent Moon Shape for the light is actually pretty thick, and detailed.  You can find these at Tmart.com under 20 LED Solar Christmas Decorative String Light with Moon Shaped.  I think they can be used anytime, year round. As long as there is enough sun to charge them.  Full sun is ALWAYS better for all Solar Powered lights like this.  I turn mine on late night, and leave them on til morning.  

Here is a quick video I made of the Lights while they were turned on.  My 2 year old loves them, and it's great mood lighting while watching a Movie inside with the Hubby while the little one is asleep too.

There are 20 LED Lights on the string itself, the lights can last up to 15 hours, depending if you let them charge a full 8 hours during the day (Full Sun in my experience was the best method!)

These do work, and I dig the style of the lights.  Not only is it eco friendly, but it's also unique to have solar lights strung above the window when the Sun Goes down, and they do automatically turn on.

What makes these great for the price tag of just $14.89 and FREE SHIPPING, is that there are two different power switches.  K1 is for static light, and K2 is for flashing light.  I prefer the Static for inside.  If this is something you would like to own, seriously, check them out.  There are other products there that are Solar Powered, also various LED lights, House hold items, gadgets, really, they have just about everything imagineable, all at a reasonable price.  Where else can you get LED Solar Powered lights like this for less than $15.00 with Free Shipping???  

Or, ones that are just big, and detailed,

I received product to facilitate a review for TMART.com! Anything Solar Powered, and awesome, I am always willing to give it a shot.  In my opinion these are pretty awesome, and I NEED more solar powered string lights now! 

Bottled Water as a Choice!

In a perfect world, everyone could just goto their artisian well, and get fresh cold water in their reuseable container.  But the truth of that is,  some of us just don't have that opportunity, and even with using expensive filters, the water in our homes aren't the best.  It is cheaper personally for me to buy bottled water (RECYCLE YOUR BOTTLES.) than it is to drink tap water.  I was sick recently from Bacteria in my small intestine,  the doctor said it coud have been tap water I drank years ago that just laid dorment til my immune system lowered enough for it to really hurt me.  So I can see why those college students wanted  Bottled Water, and not fountain water.  Also,  I can't have Soda, and the other drinks have too much Sugar. Sugary, and Full of Sodium drinks don't quench your thirst. I don't understand why someone would want to get rid of Bottled Water from the schools, yet keep the Sodas?

I've noticed some people on my blogs facebook page has turned this Nestle Positive Post about wanting to stay hydrated into something negative about "buying others land," I am guessing those people don't live in the city, metro areas, and have never tasted our tap water.  It physically makes me sick. I choose to drink Bottled Water because it's safer, and cheaper for where I LIVE. That is my choice. It doesn't make me a bad person for drinking bottled water, when I do believe in recycling.

My Island Crab Salad Recipe using King's Hawaiian Sweet Rolls.

I love King's Hawaiian Sweet Rolls!! Not only am I a huge fan of the rolls, but my 2 year old enjoys them too.  They are the perfect small hand's meal.

Today we made an easy meal I call Island Crab Salad,

The ingrediants are simple,

I chopped up about 16 oz's (2 packages of Imitation Crab Meat,

1/2 Red Onion,

3 Celery Stalks,

and, my favorite part of this recipe,

The Whole Pinepple, Cored, and Chopped into Smaller Cubes.

Add the Imitation Crab, Celery, and Red Onions into a bowl,  Along with about 1/2 Cup Of Real Mayo, Some Salt & Pepper.  And then the Pineapple cubes.  

I like mine a little sweet, so I add some of the pineapples juice to the island crab salad too.

Easiest way to serve on the Dinner rolls would be to use an IceCream scooper, and it makes the Serving Size perfect for the rolls.

Don't forget you can enter to win from King's Island Rolls by sharing your own recipes with them too, by submiting to Kings Hawaiian Ultimate Sandwich Challenge.

Create A TeeSpring.com Shirt for a Cause. Need Fundraising ideas?? Check TeeSpring out.

Teespring is a crowdfunding platform for groups, causes and communities to design and sell custom apparel.

I played around with the Create Your Tee Software and can honestly say it is easy to use, and you can also upload your own graphics to the t-shirt.  The prices are also reasonable, Depending on basic (Just text, can range from $7.00, to With your own Logo with Text up to $9.00.) Sites like Teespring make it easy to customize a T-Shirt Project, Fast, Easy, and Affordable.

Anyone can come and design a shirt which they can then sell via Facebook, Twitter or anywhere else online. The seller keeps all of the profit the shirt earns. People use Teespring as a fundraising tool or just to earn some extra money.

Just a few ideas that come to mind,  are kids after school programs.  Communities looking to improve. Families that need help.  Really, you can design a t-shirt for anything.  Maybe your son graduates this year, and you want a Higher Education T-shirt to help with college tuition.  Or your daughter starts band, and you can't afford her instrument.  I know if someone I knew, needed something, and something as simple as a t-shirt would help spread the word, and donate to a cause, I would help.

The best part is the shirts don't print and ship until a set end date determined by the seller. This means they pay nothing upfront, take no risk and don't have to deal with the hassle of ordering the right number of shirts.
