TerraCycle Back-To-School Review

**Terracycle sent me products, at no cost to myself, for my 100% honest opinion on their products.

 

The first product I recieved from TerraCycle was the Starburst Rectangular Lunch Box.  This would be a great size for taking to school, or even to work!  It was sewn together really good and seems like it would hold up for an elementary kids abuse, or the rolling around in the car on the way home from work everyday.  :)   I also LOVED the bright colors of this one.

I couldn't find the Starburst Rectangular Lunch Box on their site, but found the Capri Sun Rectangular Lunch Box which is pretty much the same.  You can see the Capri Sun one by clicking here.

Here are some things that I pulled from the website about the Rectangular Lunch Box...

• Dimensions: 6" T x 9" W x 4" D
• This unusual material make for an unusual twist on the traditional insulated lunch box.

 

The other item that I recieved to review ws the Pencil Case.  This would work great for the kids in school that need to carry pens, pencils, and markers around with them.  Like the Lunch Box, the Pencil Case is sewn together very well.

 

The Pencil case cost 1.99 and can be bought from here.

 

 

Here are some facts that I found on the TerraCycle website...

• TerraCycle is widely considered the world’s leader in the collection and reuse of non-recyclable, post-consumer waste.

I thought this one was pretty interesting!!

 2012 was another record year for TerraCycle.

It marked the 9th straight year of revenue growth as well as the launch of the world’s first recycling program for one of the most commonly littered items on the planet – cigarette butts. After launching the program in Canada in May, it was quickly expanded to the US and Spain with help from Santa Fe Natural Tobacco and British American Tobacco, respectively.

The collected cigarette butts are recycled into plastic pellets and used to make industrial products like shipping pallets.

Downy Unstopables/Scentsy Warmer

I recently seen a pin on Pinterest about using the Downy Unstopables in a Scentsy warmer and thought I would try it out.  I have an extra top from a broken pot, so if it didn't work out I wasn't out anything besides the $1.00 for the Unstopables. 

 

I found a "one time use" package of Unstopables for $1.00 at Target recently and opted to buy these instead of a big bottle in case this didn't turn out.

 

(large Scentsy warmer)

 

I tried is out in both a large Scentsy warmer and a Mid-size Scentsy warmer.

 

 

(mid-size Scentsy Warmer)

 

As you can see from the pictures I didn't but a lot in the warmer tops.  If you have ever used a Scentsy warmer before you know how easy they clean up.  The Unstopables weren't as easy, but they were still pretty easy.  The paper towel didn't soak the melted beads up, but they wiped right out.

 

The first time I used them I only used them in my large warmer and dumped about 2x as much in.  My whole house smelled of Unstopables! :)  ( I live in a one level 3 bedroom house!)  I didn't use as much this time, but I added a second warmer also and it isn't as intense this time.

 

I think you would be able to get about 6-8 uses out of the small package that I bought.

 

 



** I already owned the Scentsy pot. Scentsy does not recommend using anything BUT their waxes in their warmers, if you use anything but their waxes you void ANY warranty they have for their pots. Use the Unstopables at your OWN risk. Scentsy, Downy & CrazieyMommiey are not responsible for any damages caused by using the Unstopables in the warmer.





Great Value Queso Blanco Cheese Dip



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I purchased this at Wal-Mart for my famly, but decided to also reviewit.  This was NOT given to me to review.

 

This cheese dip is the Wal-Mart Great Value brand.  The flavor of it is Queso Blanco.  It didn't taste much like cheese, but was very spicy.  I don't think I would buy this one again because it was too spicy for my taste.  Also, besides the spice didn't have much for flavor.  I woud buy the more expensive brand next time to get the better flavor.

Flings Pop-up Recycle & Trash Bins

Flings pop-up recycle & trash bins sent me two (2) bins to review with my honest opinion at no cost to myself.

 

 

I was pretty excited when I got the "yes" to review for Flings Bins.  Something new and exciting to try out!

 

Here is a little about Flings Bins..

• GREAT for parties, Flings Bins can go where "real" trash/recycle cans can not!
• Easy to use
• Fit GREAT in a bag to pack for a party
• 100% biodegradable/degradable
• Fun colors & patterns for any occasion
• Each bin ships the size of half a pizza box
• Stands by itself

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   I received two bins to review.  When I opened these and set them up they were smaller than what I had pictured in my mind.  To my surprise though they hold a LOT.  I used the recycle bin for all of my recyclables.  I live in the country ,and we don't have the option to recycle unless we run it into town all the time, and I HATE having the white trash bags laying in my garage when we forget to run them to town.  Using the Flings Bins Recycle bin I don't have the ugly white trash bags laying around.  The Flings Bins also hold a lot more than what I thought, so that is a GREAT plus!

     The Flings Bins POP UP Woman's Day bin I thought would work wonderfully for my pop cans/pop bottles.  According to the website these 13 gallon bins can hold up to 60 cans/bottles.  I lined mine with a trash bag so I can use it more then once and not have to worry about any spilled pop from my pop cans.

The Women's Day bin (polka dots) that I received cost $6.99 on Amazon.com

The Recycle bin that I received, a pack of 10 cost $34.99 on Amazon.com
