Ecover Adds To Award-Winning Range

Ecover is a favourite cleaning brand in our home with its plant-based products which make sustainable living easier and more convenient.  They tackle tough jobs by the power of green cleaning!

They have added three new products to their range: Non-Bio Laundry Gel, Multi-Action Wipes and their revamped Oven and Hob Cleaner.  They also have a Festive Cookie limited edition Washing Up Liquid.  I was sent all four to try out!

Ecover, eco-friendly cleaning

Ecover Non-Bio Laundry Gel is made from plant-based and mineral ingredients without the nasties found in conventional laundry products.  I really liked the easy to open bottle with its leak-free cap to avoid spills.  It is accredited by the Good Housekeeping Institute which inspires confidence!  It is designed to be tough on stains with its cleaning power.  The gel has a nice consistency and definitely did a good job even in  my favourite low temperature quick wash setting.  It comes in bottles containing 18 or 28 washes, helping to make your laundry greener! (Expected price £4.99 for 630ml.)

The Oven and Hob Cleaner is a powerful cleaner that doesn't use the harsh chemicals found in other similar products.  It comes in a handy trigger top bottle which is recyclable.  It cuts through grease and smells really nice!  You can use it on any cookware too to help shift baked on stains.  It is also good for cleaning BBQs (not that we are having BBQ weather at the moment!!) (Expected price £3.79 for 500ml.)

The Multi-Action Wipes are bio-degradable, anti-bacterial, multi-purpose wipes with a Pomegranate and Lime fragrance.  They are a convenient way for tackling little cleaning jobs.  Although wipes are generally not the most environmentally friendly product on the market, there is no denying that they can be very handy at times, and these ones benefit from their all-important eco-credentials. (Expected price £2.19 for 40 wipes.)

The new products are available online at Ecover Direct or from major supermarkets.

The  Festive Washing Up Liquid is definitely going to make my Christmas dishes more enjoyable to wash because it smells good enough to eat.  The cinnamon, cranberry and gingerbread scented liquid conjures up the deliciousness of Festive Cookies.  The Ecover washing-up liquid does not foam up unnecessarily as it is foam-booster free but that doesn't mean its cleaning power is reduced.  It will available at Ecover Direct and Ocado in a 500ml bottle, which is totally bio-degradable, priced at £1.85.  It'll definitely add some winter warmth to the festive period!

Have A Feel Good Summer With Ecover

It was blisteringly hot in Henley this weekend,  as we headed off to the Rewind festival as guests of Ecover.  Throughout the summer, Ecover have been bringing their Feel Good brand of entertainment to festivals across the nation.  We went to take a look at what was going on!

The Feel Good Summer area included a funky tented area where dance workshops were taking place throughout the day.  Teaching moves such as the Moonwalk and the zombie dance from Thriller, festival goers were able to hone their moves ready for the day ahead.  Yoga classes gave revellers the chance to chill out after a night of 80's style partying!

The children were kept entertained by a giant grafitti area where they could colour in the huge letters that spelled out ECOVER!  It was a very popular activity and Ella added her own artwork to it.

Ecover's Feel Good Festival Fun
There were samples of Ecover's washing up liquid for everyone.  Free from nasties and using plant based ingredients, Ecover's products are gentle and effective for perfect Feel Good cleaning.

Throughout the days, the Ecover team were busy photographing people who visited them to put on their Facebook wall.  You can then tag yourself to win prizes!  They had props so you could dress up with a mop and a wig for added fun!  There was also a great prize draw that you could enter.  There are also a lot of prizes up for grabs on their website at The Splash, as well as lots of fun too!

Back To The Eighties - Rewind With Ecover!

I was a teenager in the 80's!  I loved Soft Cell, Ultravox, Adam Ant and the other futurist offerings that graced the charts at the time.  You never lose your love of the 80's!  So imagine how delighted I am to be invited to the Rewind the 80's Festival as VIP guests of Ecover!

Ecover


Ecover are sponsoring the event with their Feel Good Summer Area.  They will be setting up camp and offering a little Feel Good love to everyone attending.  There'll be loads to do including blissful yoga classes guaranteed to restore your inner Zen and dance workshops where you can hone your moves!  They also have giveaways up for grabs.  You can check out their site here to win your own Feel Good prizes:

Apart from spending some time at the Feel Good Summer Area, we'll be watching top 80's artists such as OMD, Adam Ant, The Bangles, Right Said Fred, Kool and the Gang and Rick Astley!  We have VIP tickets so hopefully we might spot a start or two backstage!  We will be tweeting and adding statuses to Facebook throughout the event so we'll let you know if we get any 80's style gossip!!

I'm a 36DD and other Baby Show News!!!

I've just returned from the Baby Show at the NEC in Birmingham. I'm laden down with goodie bags and freebies and I've entered dozens of prize draws...always a sign of a good day out!

These are my highlights!

Trunki
I just love Trunki and the lovely people behind the brand.  They are selling their Trunki suitcases and Playboxes and giving away fantastic goodie bags with purchases.  The Gruffalo Trunki is the most adorable thing ever!

Ella's Kitchen
Ella's Kitchen are giving away food samples if you sign up to be a 'Friend'.  There stand at the Baby Show is just lovely with a big play area shaped like a vegetable patch where Freddy enjoyed digging and watering!!  He was given a smoothie "The Green One" which was a gorgeous mix of apples, pear, kiwi and banana.  We love Ella's Kitchen!


Bras 4 Mums
After I tweeted about having an ill fitting, unfeminine nursing bra, T-J Hughes the owner of Bras 4 Mums contacted me offering me a free bra fitting at her stand at The Baby Show.  Freddy is 20 months now, but is still breastfed.  We are coming to the end of this journey, but I thought I'd go out with style and buy a sexy Hot Milk Nursing Bra with the help of T-J!  I've worn 38B bras throughout my pregnancy and ever since.  T-J took one look at me and shook her head opting for a 36DD instead.  I felt like Pamela Anderson!!  I opted for a deep red coloured bra with matching French Knickers.  I felt so much better wearing some well fitted underwear and I highly recommend every woman to get correctly fitted for a bra!

Ecover
Ecover were giving away fabulous samples of their laundry products and selling goodie bags containing full sized products, other freebies, a bamboo cloth and a tea towel in a re-usable eco-bag for £5!  They also had a prize draw to win a holiday.

Plum Baby
The Plum Cafe gave away samples of baby food with a spoon and a bib to keep babies happy.  Freddy enjoyed a Strawberry and Blueberry formage frais from their new range.

G-Tech
G-Tech were there showing their new Power Sweeper, the Nippa.  They were demonstrating how well it swept up food spills.  The natty polka dot design looks very funky!  


Prima Magazine are there with a great subscription offer with a free Tommee Tippee gift worth over £20.  If you don't want to take up a full year's subscription, you can buy the last two issues for £2 and receive a fabulous goodie bag!  Sign up to Superdrug's new loyalty card and you get a goodie bag from there too!  Both were filled with great items for mother and baby.  

We had a great day.  I even got to meet my virtual comping buddy Di from Superlucky! She was there as part of team Buggy Tag handing out samples of the brilliant pram wrist strap.  It is always lovely to meet fellow bloggers in person.  Di was exactly how I imagined she would be...fingers crossed for one of us winning one of the many prize draws we entered at the show!

The Baby Show is on all this weekend.  It's definitely worth a vist.
