LooHoo Wool Dryer Balls

Today I am sharing with you a company I found called LooHoo. They have wool dryer balls of many colors.

LooHoo wool dryer balls (formerly Wooly Rounds) are a playful, sustainable alternative to dryer sheets that helps protect your family’s health and the environment.
Unlike many commercial dryer sheets, LooHoo wool dryer balls are all-natural and contain no harmful chemicals or toxins, making them ideal to use with all laundry including delicate garments such as baby clothes and cloth diapers. As LooHoo wool dryer balls tumble in your dryer, they naturally soften fabrics leaving your clothes smelling fresh and clean.

Here is the package that I was sent.

Inside was this....

I saw sent 4 but here is the pricing and info for a set of 3 starter pack.

Starter pack (3) – $26.85

Starter packs of 3 are a perfect amount for those that are new to using LooHoo wool dryer balls. Ideal for small to medium loads in apartment or regular-size dryers. Assorted colors are packaged in a reusable cloth bag.

These are great for our purpose. I really love them. They really eliminate the static and the clothing comes out less wrinkled. I can not wait to get more of these and add to my dryer. I'm not sure how many are the right number to have in your stash but I'm sure that you can't have to many of them. I would love to have some colored ones as well.

IL Bere Wine Charms

If you are like me and you love to relax with a glass at anytime then you will love this review. This review is from IL Bere Wine Charms.

Wine charms are not new by any stretch – Chrissy and Marnette wanted to do something different than the standard stem-secured charm. Their desire was to create something original, yet classic. The vintage earring look was something the two saw in Venice, Italy – they were very taken with the vintage jewelry there, especially the earrings. So while playing with their new purchases, they attached them with their clip to the rim of our wine glasses. They thought, “Wow, these are really beautiful, wouldn’t it be great to use them all the time as wine charms?” So the process of trying to figure out where and how to attach them began. The result is the first ever vintage wine charm, which sits beautifully on the side of the wine glass or uniquely on the base of the wine glass stem.
In the spirit of being “green” and attempting to re-use existing products, nearly all of the wine charms are created out of antique/vintage earrings. The Il bere ladies spend hours each week locating, purchasing, cleaning, and creating the wine charms. Any earrings purchased and not used for the wine charms are re-sold or donated and put back in circulation.

I was sent 2 sets of their wine charms. The first is from their Classic collection and it is called Serengeti and retail for $14.99.

Capture the African spirit with our Serengeti magnetic wine charms. Animal prints are all the rage, and these unique wine and drink charms will be a perfect gift for any animal print lover!

Next I was sent a set from their Vintage Collection called Mixed Vintage 1 and it retails for $25.00

Add a touch of class to any drink, with these beautiful vintage-inspired wine charms. Our magnetic drink charms are the perfect accessory on the side of your wine glass or champagne flute. Makes a perfect gift or party favor! This suggested set is a favorite of our staff. Deep reds of Miss Scarlet, Majestic Purple, golden Socialite, and Jade Dragon green make a fun and colorful mix.

The are really secure and will not fall off in your glass. I can not wait to use this for New Years at our house. This would make a great gift for a wine lover who has everything but not enough wine bling.

Peek a Boo™ - Rub a Cub

I love all of the Taggies products and you can see that in all of the products when I talk about them. When Brendan was little he would rub all of the words off of all of his blankets that had any tags on them. I was excited when I was sent the Peek a Boo™ - Rub a Cub.

Discovering babies’ fascination with tags, Taggies™ offers the most convenient “two in one” appropriate for Baby, functioning not only as a security blanket, but also a soft stuffed animal friend! Peek-A-Boo Taggies™ friends come to life with their playful two-dimensional plush face “peeking” over the front of the blanket! With 17 different signature satin Taggies™, The Ultra soft boa fabric, and fun colors encourage interactive play for on-the-go and provides sensory stimulation and fine motor skill development.

How cute is he!! I love all of the different colored tags that are on this. There would be no way that Brendan would of rubbed off all of this guy. Not to mention that the blankie is super soft as well. I just love him and his honey pot. This would make a great baby shower or new baby gift or a last minute stocking stuffer.

Is a Submersible Pump Ideal For A Garden Pond?

Did you know that ponds help preserve the environment? You may not realize, but by implementing a pond in a section of your lawn, you are conserving energy, hence saving money and preserving the environment in the process. Reduce stress that takes place in your life with a pond that has duo purposes. In addition, help your water flow with a pond pump that will filter water and keep the earth clean.

Pond pumps are important water pumps that are used to filter water in garden ponds. They are also used in fountains and similar water sources in a garden area or front yard. Pond pumps are important to ensure that the water is flowing in the pond and that there is no stagnancy which can result in dirt and dust accumulating at the water surface. This can in turn result in various water-borne diseases. Therefore, one needs to use these types of pumps for their ponds.

Pond pumps are generally of two basic types. One is known as submersible pond pumps that are placed inside the pond; whereas, the other pump is called external pumps. External pumps are generally placed outside the pond. They are considered more efficient than their submersible variants. One can find the external pumps in common usage. This is more because of the small size of the garden ponds. If you have a small pond in the garden, then there are chances that a submersible pump might not be able to fit in a pond. In this case, you need to use an external pump for your pond.

The use of submersible pond pumps is seen in ponds that a bigger size than the ones using external pumps. Such ponds can easily have a submersible pump placed at their bottom without it occupying a lot of space. The best part about these pumps is that they can be easily installed. Whereas, in case of external pumps, one has to find proper installation and safety checks to ensure that the external pump does not block the way or result in any mishaps.

Submersible pumps are considered better than even jet pumps. They push the fluid or water towards the surface of the pond. This phenomenon is an opposite of the work carried out by jet pumps. The water pushed to the surface by the submersible pumps gives a brilliant effect of water pumped out and it looks like a mini-fountain. One also gets to see the flowing water in the pond that does not remain stagnant.

Therefore, if you are planning to use a pond pump in order to have flowing water in your garden pond, then you can consider a submersible pump as a better option. Though it is not as efficient as an external pump, it is much safer and is also easier to install than any other pump in the garden area. Preserve water and help cut back on costs with a nice looking pond and pond pump that will help the water flow in your garden area.

Paige One enjoys writing about a variety of topics. Find submersible pond ponds that help improve your garden and watch it thrive and grow.

A Clear Simple and Precise Tree Survey

Trees, as well as the development relationship to them, have often been controversial and points of concern with many applications. The submission of applications requirements stipulate that trees should be plotted on plans of application where development proposals may affect them. The established British Standards for positioning and construction of trees should be taken into account by the developers when designing as well as positioning extensions or new buildings. More often, these developers do not adhere to these standards leading to application or submission amendments. This will delay the determination of a proposal.

A survey for impact on trees assessment ensures that there is successful integration and retention of trees into developments whether large scale or small scale. Tree survey and information is required where there are trees within the location of an application site or on land that is adjacent, which may have an influence on the development. Surveying encompasses incorporation of arboricultural as well as ecological consultancy in order to provide tree owners and land managers with the complete services as required. It involves assessing ecological considerations among them the potential availability or presence of endangered and protected species like the bats, badgers or birds. A detailed climbed inspection for bats and the other species is recommended where it is required. This can be undertaken by the professional tree climbing personnel issued with the licenses for the latest bat handling disturbances agencies.

A survey for impact on trees must be done in case a building or earthworks have been proposed within a range of 15 metres from the tree base. Other inclusions that require survey for impact assessment include the storage of equipment and materials, digging of service trenches and also site access using heavy machinery. A lot of data will be needed within the 15m area concerning the trees that should be retained as well as the reasons as to why the retained tree are more important than the others that will have to be felled. A clear proof of why the retained trees will not be affected adversely by the new development should be provided too. Furthermore, an explanation of how to protect these trees against the construction impacts should be given by a qualified and suitable arboriculturist. During tree surveys for impact, consultants may recommend that a climbed inspection be carried out to ascertain the risk level in a particular feature or branch in case the structural defects are not clearly visible from the ground. This enables the surveyors investigate or examine the features at close quarters.

A safety survey for impact on trees should provide the land managers and owners of the trees with a response that is professional with regard to the issue of the liability associated with ownership of trees. The survey must be conducted with a detailed safety assessment of each individual tree in the urban centres, public open spaces, estates, large woodlands etc. The survey should use the best methodologies that suit the clients to provide a defensible approach for tree management in terms of liabilities and risks. The report data must be presented in a range of formats such as tabulation in a clear but simple reporting to help in design and decision making. Also, tree surveyors, must be backed up with extensive planning system experience as well as the CAD mapping and precise reporting. They should as well work closely with planners, engineers, architects and tree officers. For further more information you can check this website.
