Then make sure you buy some for yourself to save time and money, while protecting what’s important to you.
eggnots®
eggnots® are a ceramic eco-friendly egg alternative option right out of the crate that help you create one-of-a-kind projects year round with eggs that look and feel like a real egg but are inedible with no refrigeration needed. Non-perishable and 100% safe for those with egg allergies or that are vegan. Get the whole family of all ages together to craft, color, dye, paint and get inspired making high-quality projects, decorations, ornaments and sharing unique gift ideas with eggnots®.
eggnots® 18 pack
These blank ceramic eggs are are realistic, they look and feel like real eggs. Make from ceramic, they can be died, colored, and painted just like regular eggs. Except, they are 100% safe for those with egg allergies! Non-perishable and eco-friendly means they will last forever!
My Thoughts:
My family loved decorating the eggnots®! It’s a great way to let all the kids be involved, even those with allergies. But it’s also less messy and I don’t have to boil eggs and let them cool. eggnots can still be dyed, painted, have stickers applied, you name it. Once they are dry, they can be used like any other plastic or real egg. We’ve even had fun using them for different uses besides holidays like Easter.
They are easy to use in place of the other eggs and can last for years, depending on how you want to use them. We’ve even seen them being used by friends to be painted and hidden for strangers to find and enjoy.

Sporty Seats
Growing up getting dirty, sweaty, sandy, and muddy was simply a part of life! My cars were my ride to adventure, and every year the car’s seats got messier, smellier and stained.
In keeping a spirit of adventure alive, my kids climb trees, play soccer, baseball, gymnastics, swim, play, and run. It was after a trip to the pool, when both kids-hair wet, bathing suits dripping- needed to fit in their booster seats and this could not happen wrapped in a towel. I grabbed a piece of leaky plant plastic leftover from the local hardware store and stuffed them on that. When home, I opened the car door to air out the seats, undid the strings, grommets, and elastic for the car seat and spent the next 2 hours washing and re-installing them. There HAD to be a better way! Something simple- a car seat cover that was easy but convenient, waterproof, quick to install, lightweight, comfy and something I could wipe and go.
Chicks Laminate Cotton
Waterproof protection for your children’s seats. The chicks design is super cute and the protective cover is a soft coated cotton, Lightweight and so easy to install. The cover can be placed directly over your vehicle’s seat with the infant/child seat install over it, or used as a way to protect the seat itself from the sun and sand.
Hunter Green Vinyl-Backed Canvas
This vinyl backed canvas is thicker and is resistant from mold and UV rays. It is also waterproof and cover the entire seat.
My Thoughts:
When the weather is nice, we tend to go a lot of places as a family. And during the hot months, the pool is where we like to spend the most time! But between being wet from the pool, sweaty and greasy from the sunscreen, and even the sandbox the youngest likes to play in, we tend to be messy for the car ride home. That’s when the Sporty Seats become life savers! I can put one on every seat (even my own) to limit not only the mess on my seat but making it easy for clean up and not getting stains on my seats.
Sporty Seats are laminated fabrics made to fit over your car seats. They slip easily over the head rest and do not interfere when buckling the seat belt or installing a car seat. They are available in dozens of designs and colors.
I also keep one of the Kids Seats by Sporty Seats in the car with my extra car seat in case one of the grandkids is going along with us. After a trip to the beach on vacation? While I may still have to get the rental car vacuumed to remove the sand from the floor boards, at least the seats are kept in great shape! And there are several patterns and colors to choose from to suit everyone.

Hair Warrior
Created by lifelong friends and yoginis, Abby Curtis and Alex Stark. Both women sought to fill a need in the marketplace – a hair product designed to target athletes, sports enthusiasts and fellow yoga practitioners like themselves. Both Abby and Alex share a passion for fitness and yoga, but have struggled with their hair’s health after pursuing activity every day. With a team of chemists and hair stylists behind them, Abby and Alex created Hair Warrior.
Hair Warrior Formula Treatment
Protect your hair and color treatments from the damaging effects of physical activity, sun, and swimming. Hair Warrior should be applied prior to becoming physically active or being exposed to the elements. Your body heat activates the treatment, helping it to protect and condition each strand by preventing damage. Packed with vitamins and ingredients like Organic Argan Oil, Abyssinian Oil, Jojoba Seed Oil, Green Tea, Rosemary Extract, and Eucalyptus.
My Thoughts:
Ladies, if you’re like me, you spend a bit of time (and money) at the salon to get your hair cut and colored, right? But if you’re really busy, working up a sweat while at the gym or walking the dog, or just hanging out at the pool; you should really be protecting your hair from damage.
Yeah, I didn’t know either until recently, when I found the Hair Warrior treatment. It’s vegan friendly and full of wonderful oils and vitamins for your hair. You apply it before you head out and it helps protect your hair by keeping it hydrated, keeps your color in place, and helps keep a healthy scalp! And it improves the condition of your hair with every use. This is a great bottle to keep in your gym bag, beach/pool bag, or even just during the hot months as a part of your daily hair routine.
