Conserving Now Review

I got a reusable tote a while ago, to cart around all my coupons. Ever since than I have started to turn my life a little "Green". Now I am not a full on Live Green person, but I can do my part with some things! I use reusable bags as often as I can. I say as often as I can, but really it is as often as I can remember. Do you ever get to the store and realize that your reusable bags are still at home? That happens to me and than I end up with a ton of plastic and paper bags from the store I don't want. Conserving Now is changing that!!

My reminder! 

Conserving Now offers a FREE Window Cling HERE so that you will always have a reminder to grab your bags. Stick it some where that is obviously not going to interfere with your driving, but somewhere that you will see it and say "Oh yeah, I need my reusable bags"! Since I put my window cling up I have not forgotten my bags once:)

 So cute and little

Conserving Now was generous enough to send me one of their great Envirosax Bags from the Travel Series. When it came it was so small I didn't think it would be able to carry more than my keys with out ripping apart...I put it to the test and was VERY happy!! The bags have been tested to hold up to 44 lbs, and I believe them! My first stop with my new bag was the Hudson's Farmers Market. The bag held, 10 ears of corn, at least 2 lbs of red potatoes, and 8 apples! While it was not the most comfortable to carry all this, (it would not be in ANY bag, the straps were fine, it was the corn digging into my sides LOL) the bag held up with NO complaints!  

How cute is this??

My next trip was to the library. It was a breeze getting my few books and the kids getting a couple movies!. There was more than enough room in my bag! The best part, there are little clasps so you can fold it up to that little itty bitty size again and just keep it in your purse so you will always have a bag! 

Some information on the bags are:

•  Water Resistant
• Fully Washable (Wont Fade)
• Ethically Made
• Tested to carry up to 44 lbs

Here is some information about Conserving Now. Besides great bags, reminders, and T-Shirts, they also offer Eco Friendly Kits, to help you get started! Here is a great quote to show how great these women are-

"100% of the profits from our products goes toward funding classroom kits for schools
and/or to offset the costs of the static cling distribution."  

Check out the site and be excited...giveaway to come very soon!!

My Love Book **Review**

My Love Book is a new creative way to show some one special how much they mean to you. You can pick the questions that you want to answer, and they turn it into a beautiful hardbound book. You can also pick your cover style, and font. Plus, this does not need to be for only romantic relationships. Do you have a girlfriend getting married this summer? I think this would be a great gift for a bridal shower!

Cover

Since I am a sappy romantic, and love to do anything I can to show my husband how much he means to me, I chose to make my book for him. It was fun to pick the questions I wanted to answer, and it was also nice to think of different reasons I admire him, or different things that we have done over the years. It was very simple to create and did not take long at all. Plus I got my book in less than a week! 

Inside cover page front/back

One fault in our relationship is we are both HORRIBLE at surprises, so needless to say I could not wait for a special occasion to give the book to him. However he was still excited to receive it. When I told him about the review (see no surprises in this house) he suggested I make it for my dads birthday , but I already had a great birthday gift for dad. My husbands response to the book was, "I liked it a lot, and smiled from the front cover to the back." Usually its just a "Thank you, I like it", so I am pleased with this response!

 Design is located on opposite page from text

Visit My Love Book to see the different styles of books they have available. $49.99 will get you one of these great books, and to me I would rather receive a book like this, than earrings or a jumbo thing of chocolates. This is more from the heart, and filled with a story you created!

Stay tuned...There will be a giveaway starting next week, where one lucky HCL reader will win their own My Love Book (you only pay shipping starting at $5.95)! 

I received a My Love Book free for my review. All opinions are still mine though:)
