If You Care Earth Friendly Household Products (Giveaway!)

We all care about taking care of this God given world.
Or at least we should.
Because it's the only one we got.

Minimal waste, less chemicals to harm the Earth, using natural resources that can recycle themselves back into everything, and just plain smart about being good stewards with this planet.

Through the years, my husband and I have had our eyes opened to how important it is to not be so careless with our resources, and using the best for both our family's health and the Earth's.
Not to mention, using products that are as natural as possible are usually much more beneficial to your body, as well as to the environment!

So that being said, I want to introduce you to a company who is doing a huge part in making a difference towards just that.
If You Care is an environmentally aware company, dedicated to creating top quality products that are best for consumers, and keeping our Earth in tip top shape.
Everything they make is out of sustainable, renewable, or recyclable resources, chlorine-free, unbleached, no toxins, minimal waste, biodegradable, and plant and vegetable based or derived from natural resources.

Plain and simple?

They are pure and natural!

From kitchen products like waxed paper, unbleached baking cups and coffee filters, recycled aluminum foil, and more, to trash bags and "rubber" household gloves, everything from their company is guaranteed to be FCS certified...a comfort for the health and environmental conscious.

When my big ol' package of goodies arrived at our doorstep, I think my husband was even more excited then I was!!

We were blessed to be able to try out If You Care Parchment Paper, Baking Cups, Recycled Aluminum Foil, Paper Snack and Sandwich Bags, Sponge Cloths, and a T-Shirt to ask the world "If You Care"!
Hubby grabbed the product booklet they sent along and giddily flipped through the pages showing me all the awesome products they make...
And I excitedly started planning how to use all the things I was sent in my kitchen over the next few days!

First things first....I loved how everything was unbleached. No nasty chemicals, which means nothing yucky to leach into your food and thus less toxins in your body and in the environment.

I honestly didn't think I could enjoy kitchen products so much. The aluminum foil was sturdy and strong, the parchment paper and baking cups had nothing stick, and the sponge cloths are so absorbent. I can easily see each one lasting a long time to replace the few paper towels I use for cleaning.

But my favorite of all has to be the snack and sandwich bags.

Made from unbleached grease-free paper that is totally chemically free and recyclable, these little guys make me feel soooo much better about packing my hubby's lunches for work. I hate using plastic baggies for things, but sometimes I didn't seem to have a choice.
Now, I can just tuck his cookie or crackers and cheese into the paper snack bag, and walah!
No leaks, things stay fresh, and I avoid having that nasty plastic touching his food.

Next on our agenda?
Buying those If You Care Unbleached Coffee Filters!

Win It!
