Lefty's Review and discount code

     There is nothing worse then living in world that is not made for you.  That is how many lefties feel.  How do I know?  Well because I am a lefty.  There are many things that are made for the right handed person that we just don't think about - scissors, guitars, spiral notebooks, kitchen knives, mugs. There are many things that I have struggled to learn in life for right handed teachers - writing, knitting, and slicing potatoes to name a few.  It can be tough to live in a right handed world.  I have recently discovered a store just for us great lefties!  Lefties San Francisco - http://www.leftyslefthanded.com . 
     This is a store after my own heart!  I love the thought that there is a store out there gear just towards the wonderful lefties of the world!!  Lefty's recently sent me a package of goodies to try out.  They sent me there Essential Tools for Lefty's under 10 Set   growing up a lefty and now teacher some lefties I was very impressed with this set.  The set included many great lefty goodies.  
Here are the features of this set as described on Lefty's site:
Features

• What makes these products left handed?
• True left handed scissors have the blades reversed so that lefties can see what they are cutting, and grips designed for left handed use.
• The 8.5" x 6.5" graph paper spiral notebook is bound on the right, opening to the left side, opposite of the right handed spiral notebook.
• The fat pencils are easy for young lefties to grip, and great fun to use. The Lefty's pencil has the writing reversed so that it reads correctly when held in the left hand. The soft pencil grip is extremely comfortable to use and teaches little lefties how to hold the pencil in the tripod position.
• The pencil sharpener rotates counter clockwise, so lefties can twist the pencils naturally.
• The ruler reads from right to left, making it easier for young lefties to learn to measure.
• Please see the individual product descriptions on our web site for more detailed information and photos.

My favorite item in the kit was the graph paper.  I hate the awful cramps my hands get by being stuck on those spiral notebooks!!  This totally takes away that problem as the spiral is on the other side.  I have gotten so used to using right handed scissors that it took me a moment to figure the left handed pair out, but what a great thing to have for the child who is left handed.  A quote on many of the items reads - I may be left handed but I am always right.  I love that.

This kit rates a ten in my book anything that will improve students love for learning and self esteem is a  great thing.
The great folks at Lefty's  have offered the readers of Thrifty Tori a 25% off discount on any gift set now and to the end of the month - the end of November.
Just enter the word - Thrifty in the coupon code area to receive your 25%.  What a great Christmas gift this would make for the lefty in your life!!

BoardBook Photo Album - review and giveaway

Babybug loves books!  What better book to look at then one that is full of pictures of family who love her.  We were recently given a chance to review a Take your Pix Board Book.  This is such a neat little book.  It has ten pages and can hold 20 pictures.  We choose the plain pink style and love it!!  It is such a neat take on the classic photo album.  The pages have little notches to make turning them easier for little and big hands. 
They have several options including albums with plain fronts, and one that say " My First Photos"
We are in love with this product.  Think about the great Christmas present potential.  These would also be great for baby showers.

EcoUsable - Review and discount

I have been trying to get back to healthy eating.  One thing I have been trying to do is eat better and drink more water.  What better motivation to drink water then a super cool new water bottle? 

I was blessed with an opportunity to review some super cool stainless steal water bottle from EcoUsable.  These bottles are great!! I love that they are better for the environment, and the seemed to keep my water fresher then a normal water bottle.  On top of that they are super cute!! I my favorite that I reviewed was the big dipper.  At 25 Oz it is the perfect size for me to tote around.  I enjoyed all the bottles I was able to review and appreciate all the different size bottles EcoUsable carries.  There is a bottle for everyone in the family.  They also have some really nice accessories for the bottles.  The sports top is very handy.  The way it is made it is very easy to drink from.  I love the feel of the mouth of this bottle it is not rough like so many stainless steal bottles.  It has a smooth edge making it a more comfortable choice. 

A little about the company:

For all the right reasons, the stainless steel bottle business is thriving because as the public has been well informed about the harmful effects of the dreaded plastic water bottle and people are now willing to do their part however, NOT ALL STAINLESS STEEL BOTTLES ARE CREATED EQUAL. This is why at EcoUsable, we truly care about the high quality and sustainability of our EcoUsable made bottles and we’re confident that we’ve developed the best and most consumer friendly bottles on the market which ultimately saves us Money, Health and our Environment!!  

Our simple yet very important goal is to help eliminate plastic water bottles and provide the safest and most convenient alternatives!!!

EcoUsable offers the largest variety of sizes and designs of both filtered and non-filtered bottles in the business as EcoUsable made products are currently sold in more than 1,500 retailers nationwide including the likes of Whole Foods Markets, Hallmark Stores, Vitamin Shoppes, Gelsons and Quiksilver to name a few. 

EcoUsable has provided me with a code so you too can own one of these great bottle and save a bit a money!!!  

Use this code:   ECO10  to save 10% on your next purchase at EcoUsable.

Disclaimer:  UcoUsable sent these products for review purposed no monetary compensation was received.  The opinions in this post are my opinions and have not be influenced by EcoUsable in any way.
