Classy, Strong, Eco-friendly and Made in USA Plates, Cups and more!

I love hosting parties but I haven't any compliment from using plates, cutlery, cups, etc. I guess not after using Chinet Square plates! These white square plates will surely catch the attention of your guests. Why? Besides the fact that they are eco-friendly, they are also made here in the USA! Guess that's the first time you've seen one 'eh? A premium product you just got to love! More reviews below...

1) Chinet Tablecover - It was actually a rectangular one but I just cut it to fit my 60-inch round table. As you can see, there's still an excess I can use for the next time. The tablecover looks like it was made of thick kind of paper towel or tissue that has a soft feel. The other side of it was has like a thin plastic for protection. We have a wooden table and I surely wouldn't want to get it wet so I thought that idea was brilliant. I have never seen a white disposable table cover this nice, though I wanted to have it ironed just so I won't see the fold-marks. ;) I have OCD sorry. LOL!
 2) Chinet Square Dinner and Dessert Plates - I heard lots of "nice" words from my guests. "This is a nice plate", "Oh they're nice!", "Nice one!". I have to say it again, they really are n-i-c-e! It doesn't just give that classy look on your table but they are also strong. So strong I can put a soup on it. Ha! Just exaggerating! But seriously though, they're one of the toughest plates I now trust. To those who are wondering about the lunch plates, I don't think they have a white square version of it. If they ever will produce it, the size will be smaller than the dinner plate but larger than the dessert plate of course.
3) Chinet Dinner Napkins - They are thick but not as strong as I expected. They are sure soft and perfect to wipe your mouth after eating or wipe your cutlery before using them, but if you are going to use it to dry your hands after washing, some of it will stick to your hands. It'll be easy to remove though.

4) Chinet Cut Crystal Cutlery - These are also strong, unlike others, they won't easily break if you try to cut some meat. As to the design, nothing extravagant.
5) Chinet Cut Crystal Cup - These plastic 14oz cups look so classy that they actually look better than some glass cups. Most of my guests thought it's a reusable plastic cup because it's something they can't easily squish (else it would break). I would have saved it for the next event if I chose to, but of course, I didn't. I just had an issue with a broken cup though (look at the photo on the right), these cups break like glass so some pieces of it were so small I had a hard time removing them from the affected cups. I had to washed and carefully check one of each if there's no residue of plastic which my guests might eat/drink. Else, it would have been perfect!
After testing the products above, I know now what to buy for my next event. My other set of friends will be thrilled with the premium products I use. :)

A New and Natural Fabric Softener/Freshener

As a stay-at-home mom, I do all the household chores at home. There are days when being at home becomes stressful because I still need to take care of my little one while doing everything! Don't get me wrong, I love being with my daughter so much, it's just sometimes, I just want to escape, relax and wander in the great outdoors just like when I was young.
I know I can't bring back time so I just have to face the challenges I have as a mother and wife. I was surprised yesterday just after I did my first load of laundry. I was given a sample to try a fabric softener/freshener in one - the new Purex Crystals Fresh Mountain Breeze. It's the new scent they just released in the market and I am so glad to be among the first to try it.
Our towels feel soft and they smell great!
I shared with you the escape I've been dreaming of and I guess the scent of this so-called "Fresh Mountain Breeze" takes me back in time when life was simple, nature unharmed and everything either smells good or nothing at all. By the way, speaking of nature, this product is 90% natural! Where else would you see that now-a-days. My verdict is that it won't ruin clothes because it does not contain harmful or strong chemicals. Say 'aye' if you agree with me!
I used it with my baby's clothes too, besides whites and darks of course!
It is now one of my favorite fabric freshener/softener. I still have 3 more loads (of comforters and linens) to do today and I am going to use Purex Crystals Fresh Mountain Breeze again.

By the way, Purex is having Over the Mountains & Through the Woods sweepstakes until February 3rd where you'll get a chance to win $500 or be among the 100 winners to try the product I just reviewed. You can enter once every hour. Click here to enter.
