This Frugal Family

My 9-year-old, Jacob, loves his poncho.  With the changing weather, we haven’t been able to use it at the pool, but I had him try it out, after his bath.  He loves it; I couldn’t get it off of him.  So, once he finally dried, I made him put on clothes.  It fit comfortably, he said, and it was the perfect size.  My daughter, 23 year old, Sarah, loves the Tribal changing Poncho.  She said, “it’s so cool, and I can put it on, before work, to get to my room to change. The adult changing poncho is a great size.  It fits my husband, and he generally wears a XL.  He loves it, when he gets out of the shower, as well.  He doesn’t have to worry about the kids seeing anything.  I mean, he gets changed fairly quick, but it’s added protection. I can’t wait til swimming season, so we can get more, to use out at the pool.  It’ll be a nice addition to the beach towels, and help them stay warm. Made from soft and highly absorbent microfiber that dries fast.  Unlike Cotton Towels, this stays light and soft when wet. Remains ODOR FREE unlike a…

I love my new toothbrush, from Doctor Plotka’s Mouth Watchers.  It’s amazing to see just how clean my teeth get when I use it.  I’ve had this masterpiece for about 2 weeks, and my teeth have never felt cleaner.  As a matter of fact, these are going to be stocking stuffers, for Christmas.  The bristles are amazing..getting every tooth, and in between them, too. Bacteria on your toothbrush can double every 20 minutes, which can lead to illness, cavities and gum disease. The solution is silver. Silver is known for its unique ability to suppress the respiration and metabolism of bacteria cells, thus inhibiting cell growth. By infusing our bristles with our patented silver technology, the innovative antimicrobial bristles eliminate 99% of bacteria and other microbes, thus inhibiting cell growth on the toothbrush bristles within 6 hours after use. My mouth really feels clean, after brushing with this magnificent toothbrush.  I need to get my 9 year old one, too.  Maybe it’ll make him brush more! There’s Youth, Adult, and Travel.  You can pick whichever you want, and order off of Amazon. Connect with Doctor Plotka’s Mouth Watchers:       Shop     \     Facebook     |     Twitter Disclaimer:…

I know that it says ages 2-5, but my 9 year old loves this pillow.  My Little Dreamy Pillow has given him two weeks of sound sleeping, and he doesn’t sleep straight through the night, most nights.  However, for the last 2 weeks, he has been.  I love this product, it’s made my life a breeze, with him.  And, he’s had a sore throat for 3 days, so making him sleep through the night, is a blessing. We received the Kea Safari, which is available on Amazon.  The picture above is Unicorn Dreams, located on the KeaDreams Website.  These pillows are super comfy, soft, and plushy.  The organic cotton shell and casing is so smooth.  And, it’s packed with sleepy dust!  It was made, and tested, for a child’s head.  He’s probably a lil older than the average, but he loves it!

When your lips get flaky, and dry in the Winter, where do you turn?  I turn to Eco Lips!  Of course, I ordered the 6 pack, of Holiday Lip Balms, and I have 1 left.  My family are pigs.  They took them all, but 1.  I don’t get, at least I know they won’t have dry, cracked lips, right? Ok, so let’s talk about the scents:  We have Raspberry Truffle, which is completely yummy tasting, but works well on my lips; Gingerbread, which my mom says reminds her of making gingerbread houses, and keeps her moisturized; then there’s Candy Cane, this is the one my 23 year old daughter loves.  She said she’s used half a tube, she has really dry lips. These scents are enough to drive anyone wild.  They smell delicious, and work.  My lips have never felt so moisturized.  I love the Raspberry Truffle.  You can buy 1 scent, or all 3.  Totally up to you! I will never use a different lip balm, now that I’ve discovered Eco Lips!  And, my son had a huge collection of chap sticks, he threw them all away, for this lip balm.  Eco Lips is supreme, in what they do….

I received Ziri Skincare, recently.  My daughter, age 23, asked to try it out, so I let her use it.  We’ve had it for a little over a week, and she says the results are phenomenal!  She loves the shine her hair gets, instead of looking all wirey, all the time, which is from the Argan Oil.  And, the glow she has to her face after using the Red Clay in Paste. Sarah says her hair has never felt more vibrant!  She said it doesn’t feel as heavy, as a beautiful shine, and no wire texture anymore.  It’s even Organic!  She loves this product, so guess what she’s getting for Christmas?  Argan Oil, from Ziri Skincare. Here’s the Details: Moisturizes and renews skin Minimizes and fades stretch marks and scars Reduces hair breakage and frizz Promotes cell regeneration Anti-aging Promotes hair growth Nighttime moisturizer Powerful anti-inflammatory properties which can relieve eczema and psoriasis The Red Clay in Paste, she loves, as well!  She said it makes her face feel smooth, and the blemishes are gone.  She’s in love with this product.  The Red Clay in Paste helps the skintone, and unsightly blackheads.  It works wonders!  Guess what else she’s getting? Here’s…

Zak Designs is amazing.  I truly mean that.  When I went looking for Fall colors, for a small family get together, I found Zak Designs.  They have this amazing Orange tableware.  It’s perfect, so I grabbed up two sets, off of Amazon.  There’s so many colors to choose from, but of course, I picked the most Fall color of all, orange! It’s top shelf dishwasher safe, but I wouldn’t microwave!  My hubby found that out the hard way.  It got really hot, but didn’t melt.  We just had to let it sit momentarily until we could dump out the water, in the bowl. The modern embossed design tastefully layers together and makes a nice addition to existing dinnerware pieces, table linen, and surrounding decor. This dinnerware set is perfect for both everyday use and special occasions. You can go, and check out all of their designs, styles, and colors on the website, listed at the top, and bottom of this post.  I love these, and will use them every Autumn for years to come.  I just got a new house, so this is perfect! I love Zak Designs, and will be dealing with them a lot in the future.  Their…

Guru Nanda My family loves the Spray Hand Sanitizer from Guru Nanda.  We keep it in our truck, and use it every time we get back in from being out.  When we go to Walmart, we spray; when we go to the pharmacy, we spray.  You don’t know what is in the air, nor what the people in the store are carrying.  I’m very persistent about washing hands, and keeping our clothes washed, as well. The Lavender Hand Sanitizer is my favorite.  It smells fresh, and clean.  It makes my hands feel so vibrant!  My daughter keeps it in her vehicle, as well.  You get 12 bottles, when you buy it, so you have enough for friends, and family!  The price is a great one.  You can’t tell, in the bottle posted above, but it’s more than half empty. It’s great, because you don’t need water, to wash your hands.  You just spray, and rub your hands together. HAND SANITIZER WITH PURE LAVENDER OIL: It has true lavender essential oil that nourishes and moisturizes your skin. This sanitizer is free from harsh chemicals and safe for kids. It is also blended with fractionated coconut oil.  100% PURE AND NATURAL: Our products…

Tiki Hut Livin is an amazing online shop.  I love their products, especially their sunglasses.  My daughter tried to take them, but I said, “No, you aren’t getting them, they are mine!”  I love the pink color. These sunglassese, by Banned 1976, are so cool.  They have a cat eye style, and the frame is stainless steel.  I have a chubby face, and they fit me perfect.  I wouldn’t trade them for anything.  I had a very expensive pair of glasses, and now I wear these $30.45 sunglasses every sunny day.  For the price not being high, the sunglasses are really holding up.  I’ve sat on them, and not broken them. These are sleek and lightweight, with just the right amount of pizzazz. Mirrored lens is polarized with UV 400 protection. Available in six stylish colors. Select the pink tint to accentuate The Tiki Hat. Tiki Hut Livin has more than just sunglasses though, they have an entire shop.  You really need to check them out, and buy some cool, hipster gifts for Christmas presents.  You won’t regret it, they quality is phenomenal.  I love their stuff, and will continue to shop with them, for years to come.
