Body Glove Mobile: Motorola Defy XT DropSuit Review



 Body Glove was first known in the scuba industry for offering scuba suits that delivered the perfect protective fit for divers so the Body Glove brand now brings their 'Suit Up' commitment to their Body Glove Mobile line of sleek-fitting, protective cell phone case designs. 

You'll want to make sure your phone is protected whether your suiting up for work or play. Body Glove takes the job of protecting your phone seriously.  Body Glove Mobile keeps your cell phone safe while maintaining it's functionality and ease of use.

DropSuit
 The DropSuit phone case is there to break the fall when you accidentally drop your phone. It has reinforced corners and a unique shock dissipation system. The strategically place side bumpers provide extra concussion deflection. While keeping your phone protected in the first place is by not dropping it, sometimes these things just happen and you definitely want to make sure your phone is in a DropSuit. You may even drop your phone less often while it is in the DropSuit, because of the DropSuit's side bumpers which give your hand a firm grip to hold onto. If your protecting your cell phone from the rigors of life wasn't good enough, DropSuit also provides protection from the elements unforeseen to the naked eye. These cases contain an embedded anti-microbial agent that prevents the growth of odor, stain-causing bacteria and other microorganisms that are byproducts of taking your phone everywhere with you. You may rely on your phone for so many things each and everyday, such as phone calls, texting, scheduling and surfing the web. Your phone also relies on you, believe it or not, to help keep it safe! You can do so with a DropSuit!


The DropSuit is available for many cell phone makes and models, see if there is a DropSuit available for your phone in the drop down box found here. The DropSuit is also available in three colors. 

I'm not sure how it happened (isn't that what we all say), but I'm pretty sure that my previous phone I had, a Samsung Delve, just flew out of my hand when I pulled it out of my pocket and it just so happened to land in a pretty deep puddle. Thankfully Samsungs are pretty "waterproof", it dried out and I was able to use it for a bit longer. However! If I had a DropSuit on my phone (that phone is about 4 years old so there is no DropSuit for it, but just bare with!), it would not have gone for a fly and swim because the DropSuit has the grips along the sides! I love how the DropSuit has all of the necessary openings, such as for the camera, the charger port, etc. I've had cases and covers in the past that would cover all of that up and while I'm sure that was only to keep dirt and other unwanted things out of those places, it was still a pain to have to move the flap or completely take the case off any time I wanted to use one of things being covered by it. I do not have that issue with the DropSuit.

Boogie Board JOT 8.5 LCD eWriter Review & Giveaway WW 7/13




The Boogie Board Jot 8.5 LCD eWriter is the latest in tree-friendly electronic replacement for memo pads, notebooks and sticky notes. The Boogie Board Jot 8.5 LCD eWriter is like other Boogie Board eWriters as they feature a revolutionary Reflex LCD as its writing surface that provides a writing experience that feels just like writing with a pen and piece of paper.

Boogie Board Jot 8.5 LCD eWriter

The Boogie Board Jot 8.5 LCD eWriter features a contemporary metallic design available with red, blue or graphite accents. It has a soft-touch back to provide grip and stability as well as a tapered stylus that doubles as a kickstand for horizontal viewing, which is great for leaving messages on the kitchen counter or dinning room table). There is also a built-in magnet for mounting to refrigerators, filing cabinets and other magnetic surfaces.
Product Specs.
Boogie Board Jot 8.5 is 9.6in X 5.8in X 0.39in and only weighs 5.3 oz.! It is made with a magnetic plastic case, soft-touch back, plastic scratch-resistant LCD, plastic stylus with soft-touch finish and chrome cap. There is a replaceable 3v watch battery.
  Our Boogie Board Jot 8.5 LCD eWriter


My mom is much better when it comes to drawing in general, but I definitely can not draw on the Boogie Board, mine always come out all squiggly and Cade has no problem telling me that what I draw is in fact not what he wanted drawn. 
 

Cade absolutely loves drawing on the Boogie Board! He would sit there all day just doodling on it. This is really nice as a way to calm him down before nap or bedtime. 

I love watching his facial expression while he is drawing on the Boogie Board, which he has claimed as his own! The Boogie Board is pretty durably seeing as how Cade is a very active 3 year old boy, sometimes drops it, sometimes steps on it and he is 37 pounds. Now I'm not saying to allow your child to do this to the Boogie Board I can not guarantee that it wouldn't result in damage. We have had no issues at all with the Boogie Board. 
What I love the most about the Boogie Board Jot is that you can make your grocery list on it. Hang it on your refrigerator and continue to add things through out the week that you will need. 
  
There is a lock switch on the side of the Boogie Board, which you just slide over to lock what you have written or drawn on your Boogie Board. It can not be erased until you unlock it. You can still write or draw on the Boogie Board even when it is locked.
So you can add or cross things off of your grocery list on the Boogie Board as your grocery shopping! 
The Boogie Board Jot 8.5 is only 0.39in in height, making it very thin. It is a tad bigger then a pocket calender, but will definitely fit in most purses, diaper bags and probably even cargo pants pockets! So slim you can take it with you on the go, instead of an annoying notebook where you have to be careful not to rip out pages and loose them or bend your pages, etc. 

We love our Boogie Board Jot! We have had so many notebooks in this house and I write something important down and then the next day I can't remember which note book I wrote it down in, where the notebook is, etc. The Boogie Board Jot gets rid of all that paper mess and stress! Just switch the lock switch over to locked, hang it on your fridge, toss it in your purse or wallet, and your good to go! It fits into the inside side pocket of my diaper bag and pretty well protected there, only dangers are if there is a sippy cup in the bag and it leaks.

If you want to protect your Boogie Board, it will fit into a Kindle Fire case, like the Skull one I made

Taco Roll Ups Recipe. Great for parties.

Taco Roll Ups

Yummy delicious and only 3 ingredients needed! 

This recipe is not sponsored by either brand in this photo.
  • 2 packages of cream cheese
  • 1 package of taco seasoning
  • 1 package (10ct) 8 inch tortilla shells
If you let your cream cheese sit out at room temperature for a bit to soften it up, it is much easier to mix! If it softens up enough you can even do this by hand, I used my mixer because I probably have carpel tunnel and my wrists kill me after a minute of stirring. Also, make sure the taco seasoning you buy does not have little hard pieces in it, I can't remember the brand that does. It's not horrible, more of a texture preference.

STEP 1:
Place your cream cheese in your bowl, add about half of your taco seasoning, mix until all cream cheese is a yellowish/orangeish (color depends on your seasoning). Be sure to scrap the bottom and sides of your bowl, especially if you use a mixer. 


STEP 2:
You can use a butter knife or spatula to spread the taco cream cheese mix on to your tortilla. I prefer using a butter knife. Just spread a thin liner across the entire tortilla covering to the very edge all the way around. 
STEP 3:
ROLL IT UP! 
Starting at the end closest to you tightly roll up your tortilla. The ends wont be very tight, but that is okay. 
Once you've rolled up your tortilla, then cut off both ends where it is loose.
STEP 4:
Cut the rest of your roll up into roughly half inch pieces or bite size. Use a sharp serrated blade to cut your roll ups. Put as little pressure on the roll up as possibly other wise you will squish it. Gentle cut back and forth. 
Repeat steps 2-4 the remaining tortillas. With the 10pk of 8in tortillas, 2 boxes of cream cheese and half a packed of taco seasoning I was able to use all 10 of the tortillas and used up all of the taco cream cheese mixture. Pretty quick to make and super yummy! 

The ends you cut off of your roll ups are NOT trash, Dan always steals the ends when I make these, he's lactose intolerant and that is a TON of cream cheese!! I ask him why he eats so much of these even if they will cause an upset stomach and he says they are too good to resist. 

My next adventure with these roll ups is I'd like to bake them and top them with cheese, I know MORE dairy?! Yes, I am a Wisconsinite!

There are NUTS in my washer and they are amazing! Eco Nuts Soap Nuts Review & Giveaway US 7/11

What are Soap Nuts?
Eco Nuts Soap Nuts are a berry that grows in the Himalayas that naturally produces a soap. This soap is called saponin which is a natural cleaner that works as a surfactant, breaking the surface tension of the water to penetrate the fibers of your clothing and lifting stains from the fabric while leaving dirt suspended int he water that is then rinsed away.

Eco Nuts are gentle on both clothing and skin, they are ideal for those with sensitive skin, eczema, allergies and psoriasis. Due to them being so milk, they are perfect for baby clothes and cloth diapers. They are All-Natural making them great for septic and grey water systems. Don't expect these shells to foam up like your commercial soaps that have artificial foaming agents. Foam simply does not represent cleaning power!

Eco Nuts are gathered from wild trees grown without any kind of chemicals, fertilizers or pesticides. The saponin actually tastes bad to the insects so no pesticides are needed. The trees naturally love poor uncultivated soil, they are organically grown by mother earth and certified USDA Organic by Oregon Tilth. Eco Nuts Soap Nuts are both de-seeded and sterilized, they are the only soap nuts on the market that are.

What if you have a nut allergy? 
If you remember from the above section, Eco Nuts Soap Nuts are actually berries. Don't let the name throw you off or intimidate you from using them. As some of my readers may remember, my 3 year old, Cade has a tree nut allergy. 

If they are not nuts then how did they gain their name you may be wondering as I was as well. They have been named "nuts" because they dry into hard shells like a nut shell. 

Our Eco Nuts Experience!
 
Eco Nuts are an Organic Laundry Soap, but with out the mess and spillages of powders and liquids. Although Eco Nuts does offer a liquid form as well. Eco Nuts are fragrance free, hypoallergenic, biodegradable (no waste to be left behind), non-toxic and kills odors making them great for those stinky cloth diapers. 


They look strange for something I was about to toss into my washer to clean probably the dirtiest things I've ever had to wash, my cloth diapers from two stinky toddler boys! I received a 100 load box of Eco Nuts, it also included two small bag with drawstring for you to put your Eco Nuts in and then toss that into the washer. 


I read the box, which are the directions for when washing laundry with Eco Nuts, so I put 5 Eco Nuts into the bag, closed it up and tossed it in my washer with my load of cloth diapers. What I should have done was read a bit more about using Eco Nuts to wash cloth diapers, but it was time to wash some diapers and I was way too excited! After reading a bit more however, I did find out that you only need 2-4 Eco Nuts in the cloth bag when doing cloth diaper laundry, also, if your washing machines gets really hot you need even less Eco Nuts! My washing machine does not have a hot setting, the hottest setting is hot/cold and I'm almost certain the water I wash my dishes with is at least twice as hot as the washing machine. 

 
There's nuts in my washer and balls in my dryer!! What is going on here?! Oh yea that's right, something that is awesome, better for the environment and for my little monkeys' bodies!

You can even leave the cloth bag with the Eco Nuts in it through the entire wash cycle, including the rinse cycle! How so? Because the rinse cycle has much cooler water causing less saponin to be released. Very little of it is released during the rinse cycle. If you accidentally toss the bag of Eco Nuts into the dryer and dry them, no problem, they are still usable and not ruined! You can even use Eco Nuts in a front loader and HE machines.


After two loads of diapers I opened up my cloth bag with the soap nuts inside and above is what I found. Not a huge difference then what I put in to the bag, the nuts that were whole have just separated into two pieces. You can continue to use your soap nuts that are in your cloth bag for approximately 10 loads or until they begin to disintegrate, please see the chart below for a better idea of what they may look like. 

How to tell when your eco nuts are used up

It's like a bad habit, I always have to sniff my cloth diapers and other laundry as well when I pull it out of the washer. I do so to make sure the diapers and laundry are clean smelling, especially the diapers. When I pulled out my first load I wasn't sure how they would smell, kind of thought they would smell a bit "weird" because they were washed with nuts that are actually berries and while the nuts in the box do not smell bad or weird, I still just wasn't sure. Anyhow, when I sniffed my first load of diapers that were washed with soap nuts I was in AW! I could not believe how clean they looked, felt and smelled clean!! I'm either going crazy or they were actually cleaner as well, dingy, old and well pre-loved before our use of some diapers looked brighter!

This is ONLY the second thing I have found that is okay on my boys' skin!! As some of you may know or remember from previous post both of our boys have sensitive skin and eczema. We have tried at least 7 other cloth diaper safe detergents and they all caused horrible rashes/burns of some sort or they caused bad build up, etc. I also love that Eco Nuts really do eliminate odors and do not just cover up the odors with the strong scents of the detergents. We've tried many different CD safe detergents with scents and with out, but nothing like Eco Nuts! Other detergents with out scents left our diapers smelling like dirty water. I truly am in love if you haven't been able to tell by now. 

In additional to washing our cloth diapers with Eco Nuts, tomorrow I will begin washing the boys' clothes with Eco Nuts as well. Eventually I'd like to also wash all laundry with Eco Nuts, but for now I want to preserve them for cloth diapers.

So how do you store Eco Nuts? That's simple! Just keep them in a cool and dry place! 

Eco Nuts is a 2-in-1 Natural Fabric Softener, contains no optical brighteners, no dyes, is fragrance and SLS free. SLS is sodium lauryl sulfate, a hormone disruptor. 

Eco Nuts medium 100 load box is only $11.99 that's just $0.11 per load! The large 360 load box is $34.95 at just $0.09 per load and the liquid Eco Nuts detergent 60/120HE loads is only $18.99 making it $0.31 per load in a standard washer or $0.15 per load in an HE machine. More amazing bang for your buck with Eco Nuts!
