Bamboo Cutting Board

My kitchen was in need of a new cutting board so we have been looking around and luckily I was given the chance to try out one of Alton Bay Bamboo's cutting boards.

The first time we used it we tried out Prickly Pears with our family on it. This has a nice surface, both sides can be used, and has a recessed edge so that juices go in the recess instead of all over your counter or table.

I love that this is a large cutting board having a big family a small cutting board just does not do the the job. We find ourselves having to clear the cutting board over and over again before everything is prepared. Not with this cutting board it held everything we needed it too. We use a glass cutting board for meat so this cutting board only sees fruits and vegetables.

The Alton Bay Bamboo cutting board would also be the right size for a fruit and cheese board for your next party. Simple but elegant at the same time.

You can find the Alton Bay Bamboo Cutting board on Amazon.
What Alton Bay Bamboo has to say about their product.
EXTRA LARGE BAMBOO CUTTING BOARD 18 X 12 X .8 Inches. Drip groove on the topside catches liquids to protect your countertop and table. The reverse side is smooth with no drip groove.

Quality crafted from Moso Bamboo; Moso bamboo naturally contains anti-microbial properties; Bamboo is excellent for use as a cutting board because it is harder than Maple wood. This results in a strong board.

Bamboo keeps kitchen knives and cutlery sharper longer than a wood cutting board.

Bamboo is eco-friendly because it is a renewable resource. The plant is not destroyed when the stalks are harvested. The plant regrows tall (up to 50 feet) and strong replacement stalks in 3 to 5 years.

This large cutting board is well suited for preparation of large vegetables and fruits such as Bok Choi, Romaine and Watermelon. Carve roasted meats and chicken with confidence that the juices will be in the drip groove not on your table or kitchen counter top. The reverse side can be used as a cheese board to cut and serve cheese, crackers and dips.

EASY TO CARE FOR, just clean after each use with soap in warm running water; rinse well; air dry or use a paper towel and please “do not put me in the dishwasher”.

Hybrid Rugged 2-1 stand case for iPhone 6

Looking for a really nice Hybrid case for your iPhone 6? You might want to check this one out. I am always getting my girls new cases for their iPods and iPhone, and iPads so they mix and match to their hearts content.

My oldest daughter is the one with a iPhone6 and she is always glad to get the cases I have set aside for her to use on her phones. She really likes the hybrid cases for the extra security she has that it won't break as easily.

The glass they use on these items could be stronger but hey we all know that is how they make their money so protecting that glass and the product is a  priority. With a hybrid case you have that extra security against falls and such. No it won't protect it from everything but gives it better protection than most of the cases out there.

Sometimes you get cases and things just do not line up right with this Hybrid case from Trim Evolution you don't have to worry about that it fits just right.

You can find this iPhone 6 Case on Amazon.
• POLYCARBONATE plastic absorbs impacts, protecting your iPhone 6 from damage. TPU silicone at the corners add extra impact resistance where your iPhone 6 is most apt to incur screen-breaking impacts
• TPU silicone provides slip-resistant cushion grip, lessening the chance of your phone slipping from your hand, further minimizing breakage
• KICKSTAND on the back of the case allows you to set the phone down to watch video or to use Facetime calling, leaving you hands-free
• PORTS and control buttons remain accessible and fully useable. Simply snap your iPhone 6 into the Hybrid Rugged Stand Case
• FOUR dynamic colors to select from: Black, Blue, Purple, or Pink

Smelly Sports Clothes?

I have done several reviews for products from Simple Earth and all have been great so far. They work like they should which you can not always find in a product. Are super tiny but last a long time, and the company gives back. In this case for each product sold they give a month's worth of clean water to someone in need.

This is the kind of company I like to hear about and will be proud to use their products. The natural sports odor eliminator is great for gym bags, sports gear, shoes, etc. Small enough to have in your bag, purse, car, or home. The scent I have is the Lemon Mint and it is really nice.

You can find on Amazon.



My all natural sports odor eliminator utilizes essential oils and natural deodorizer to keep your sports gear smelling great. Below are listed some key points.

-All Natural Odor Eliminator - Safe for the Whole Family
-Stink Free Guarantee. 100% satisfied or your money back.
-We use proven science to eradicate the stench and keep your sports gear smelling fresh.
-In a blind test, people chose us over the competition every time and our ingredients are all natural.
-2.5oz bottle - over 400 sprays!

I founded Amare Terra this year as a company to seek good rather than profits. We sell truly natural products and for every purchase people make, one month of clean water is provided for someone in need.

Replacing your Yoga Mat Strap

First of all let me say you can lose your mat strap. My daughters took them out to do yoga on the ground outside. When they were done just the mats came in no sign of the straps at all. Yes they lost two straps.

Luckily you can find yoga mat straps on the internet for sale. There are some great choices out there with FiveFourTen being one of them. This has a adjustable fit so it will fit both thin and thick mats alike, with our without your yoga towel attached.

I was able to get the Purple one and it really has a nice contrast against my black mat. I am happy, and for now on  when the girls borrow the mats they have to give me the straps as soon as they take them off.




You can find the FiveFourTen yoga mat strap on Amazon.
