I'm back from a much needed break! I hope your Christmas was Merry & New Year Happy! My sweet little baby is now 5 weeks old, and the 2 other kiddos are adjusting well. We had a wonderful Christmas & it's now back to reality. Back to school, back to work. ~~Sigh~~
I would like to share with you a review & GIVEAWAY on some new products today! I had the opportunity to review the new line of Earth-Friendly bags from Ecotools, by Alicia Silverstone.
Launching in December 2009 at Walgreens and Target stores, the line includes a complete set of five cosmetic bags, ranging from a brush bag with a brush set to an overnight bag. Each bag is produced with a natural hemp material and uses a recycled PET lining.
What I liked about these Eco-Tools bags:1. The 5 Piece Brush Set & Bag is my favorite. Priced at $15.99 it comes with 4 brushes. Also in the bag is a coupon & tips from Alicia Silverstone on how to get the most out of each brush. There is a finishing brush, blush brush, angles eye brow brush, & lash & brow groomer. The packaging of the set is made from 30% post-consumer recycled content. I love the natural colors & look of the brushes. It comes in a handy little zippered pouch and a spot for each brush, with a clear pocket on the other side.
2. My 2nd favorite bag is the Cosmetic Bag. All of the bags are earth friendly in that they are
- Made with natural hemp material.
- Lining is made with recycled plastic (PET).
- Floral design is printed with non-toxic inks.
- Hangtags printed on tree-free stone paper.
3. Another bag I will definitely use is the Train Case. It is only $14.99. It has a zip top. I love the removable clear compartment inside. It just Velcros in & out of the bag...very convenient! 
4. And the last bag, which I have 3 extras to give away!!! - is the Overnight Bag. It retails for $19.99 & is the largest of the bags. It is still compact enough for traveling & has 2 clear removable small bags on 1 side, and a large clear zippered compartment on the other. I LOVE the idea of the removable compartments!
What I didn't like about the Eco-Tools bags by Alicia Silverstone:
1.As far as the quality of these bags, you can't beat it. Lots of great features in each bag & eco-friendly too! I personally, don't care for the look of the bags, but that's just a personal thing. I'd like a more sleek design & color. But if you like eco-friendly quality, functional, products, you will love these bags!!
Want It? Click here to visit Eco-Tools Website.

Sign me up; I've never had a decent bag to travel with. (My hubby is still complaining about the cat hair on the duffle bag I carry on day trips! lol)
Some of my favorite things about your site...I like your Thought of the Day area and I like that your site isn't too cluttered. It's easy to navigate around and I don't get hung up with hundreds of things trying to load at once. Congratulations on the newest addition to your family. :-)
I like this! Thank you!
I like this product line and will try to purchase products that are conscious of our health and the environment. I actually bought some of her makeup brushes and love them.
I like the Gift Closet because I enjoy shopping for unique items and you have them. Thanks.
This is a lovely quaint bag. I like it!
thanks for the contest
I am wowed by the pretty fabric on the bag. I'd use the bag for more than just an overnighter or cosmetics case.

I love the Scrabble Pendants in your Gift Closet. I think it's a genius idea. I love that you can make names and saying, as they pertain to the customer. I would have never thought that something like scrabble pieces could be used in such an extraordinary way. This is the first time I have heard of this idea. And it makes for a great gift. Thanks for sharing.

I like that these are very eco friendly bags. I will have to look for them at my Walgreens!
kerrie@mayansfamily.com
My favorite thing about your blog is that you always have neat things on your blog that I think various members of my family would love but I probably wouldn't come up with that as a gift idea on my own.
kerrie@mayansfamily.com
The collection looks great, but I agree with you on the design and hope there are more avaiable soon. Thank you for the great giveaway, I love that these are eco-friendly, and that they look like they are created with the true travler in mind.
msurosey@yahoo.com
I would love to win!
heatherstamper09@aol.com
I wasn't really impressed with the style at first, but ya know... it kinda grows on you. :) At least it is unique and not like every other carry case out there!
tnshadylady at gmail.com
I like your blog because I know you will showcase things that are unique, and not the same things a thousand other blogs showcase. Kudos for keeping it original!
These are cute and very useful! It would be a great item to have!
I like how you have the giveaways, of course, but that you have things I am interested in. I like how you tell about gifts that I would never think about or even know about! And that is cool because there are some people that I just don't KNOW what to give as a present.
I really like the Thought for the Day such as today's:Return to the Lord, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love... Joel 2:13
Excellent!
Your site is fun to read, and you do a great job!
This is a very useful item and very pretty too! Thanks for the giveaway!
I like your blog because is very clean and not cluttered. I like your giveaways! Your thought of the day is great!! I like the bible passage.
The bags are beautiful!! I would love to have the overnight bag. It would get a lot of use.
