Win Your Own Childproofing Coverplug


The Coverplug™ is a durable, molded, and paintable plastic panel that plugs right into an electrical socket to cover the entire outlet. I really like this innovative outlet cover, which is held securely in place by posts on the back that align with the ground openings and does not require tools for installation or removal. The specially designed plastic that is used can be easily paintable to match our wall color.

The book has lots of tips and techniques that we can use, and it encourages using easy to find, gentle products such as herbs, plants, and other kitchen ingredients to care for our skin and body.

Revolutionary Way To Clean Laundry

Everyone has to do laundry… and Crystal Wash is something that saves us money, and it is better for the environment. It has clinically demonstrated to be as effective as detergent and allows us to do 1,000 loads of laundry without using detergents, chemicals, dyes or perfumes. I am looking forward to using Crystal Wash, which sounds like an efficient and natural way to do laundry.

Due to our trust in their products my husband and I undertook a DIY project during the holidays using the Rust-Oleum Cabinet Transformation kit. Using this kit to transform the kitchen cupboards to our preferred colour is less costly compared to changing the entire cupboards or doing messy demolitions.
