Review - Woolzies, The Natural Fabric Softener



I have been using fabric softener ever since I started doing the laundry on my own many years ago. I thought of fabric softeners as man's greatest invention to mommies like me who wants her family's clothes to be soft, clean and nicely scented. And then came Woolzies!

I am so grateful that I found this product from another blogger's review. I thought I would give it a try. I am glad that I did. I am very thankful too for Woolzies for graciously sending me a box of Woolzies Dryer Balls containing 6 dryer balls. Now here are my findings and why I have fallen in love with this eco-friendly product.

Why I love it:


  • First of all, it is natural. It does not contain chemicals that can harm your skin nor the environment.
  • A great eco-friendly product.
  • It made our clothes less wrinkly. With the use of fabric softener, it only softened the clothes but the wrinkles are still very pronounced.
  • The dryer balls did not make noise at all inside the dryer.
  • The friction it created against the clothes made them more soft and less wrinkly.
  • It can be re-used plenty of time.
  • It saved me time pressing our clothes because of the lesser wrinkles.
  • The look heavy but they are light weight. Combined weight of all 6 dryer balls is barely 1 lb.






Woolzies is 100% pure New Zealand Wool. The dryer balls are handmade in Nepal from high quality and fine New Zealand wool. The company behind this genius and very helpful product is Soft By Nature, Inc. of New York.

The box contains 6 dryer balls which you can all use in one load.

Glass Dharma Glass Straw Review


Finally! A glass straw that I can use over and over again without adding more trash to the the environment. The Glass Dharma Glass straw is the perfect straw for juice drinkers like myself. Before using glass straw, I used to buy packets of straws and dispose them after each use. Not only that they are plastic and can probably leach chemicals to my family's drinks, they also contribute to the wastes in the environment. And that is a big no-no for us.




So, I am very glad that my family and I have now switched to Glass Dharma Glass straws. There are plenty of benefits in using glass straws and let me just give you some that will help you switch to these straws.

1. Environmental friendly - They are made of glass and not chemicals. So, we are not polluting the environment by limiting the wastes.

2. Reusable -  Just wash them every after use.

3. Does not have plastic taste - I don't like the taste of plastic in my mouth when I am drinking juices and sodas. It changes the taste for me but with Glass Dharma glass sraws, there is no taste of any plastic or chemicals at all.

4. It is economical in the long run - You save money by using glass straws because you don't have to dispose them. All you have to do is wash and store for future use.

Visit the Glass Dharma site and choose different sizes and diameter of glass straws for your drink. Below is a product guide for you to choose the right straws for your drinks. You can also buy accessories like brushes and soft sleeves made of hemp. They are slo offering free shipping delivery within the US and Canada areas for orders above $100. And finally, a lifetime guarantee is also issued along with your purchase for any breaks (not intentionally caused).

Gel Fireplace

A better and more economical way to afford a fireplace for your house is to have a gel fireplace instead of the real deal.

I have been obsessing about various fireplace designs for our future house in the Philippines. I know it is hot and humid in our country and having a fireplace is not a wise decision but this is a thing I want incorporated in the design. I do not mind having a faux fireplace as long as there is a mantle there that I can deck with beautiful ornaments.

Now that the gel fireplace is becoming famous, I will reconsider the thought of having the gel fireplace instead of the conventional fireplace, faux or not. Gel fireplace is more environmental friendly because you are not cutting wood but lighting an alcohol-based gel fuel that has passed EPA and OHSA requirements.

So, this can be my new obsession - the gel fireplace. I am really not particular with the design or how big it will be as long as I have a fireplace at home.
