Green Holiday Giveaway #17: J.R. Watkins Natural Lotions

Giveaway number seventeen will be perfect for the cold winter months ahead. It’s sponsored by J.R. Watkins and they are giving away a set of 6 of their full size hand + body lotions! 
J.R. Watkins has been my favorite for all-purpose home care products for a long time. We are huge fans of their all-purpose cleaners, dish soap, window cleaner and bathroom cleaners. Not only do we use them in our home, but we keep them stocked in our RV too. Why so much love? J.R. Watkins has been around for a long time, since 1868 to be exact – which means they know what they are doing when it comes to natural home and body care products. Plus, did I mention the way they smell? Fantastic, these products come in the best scents. And the products actually work really, really well!

The lucky winner will receive 6 full-size bottles of J.R. Watkins Hand & Body Lotion. Lucky! A bottle of Mango, Lavender, Coconut Milk + Honey, Lemon Cream, Grapefruit and Vanilla. These lotions are thick without being sticky and smell delicious. The lotions are paraben-free, phthalate-free, propylene glycol-free and dye free. And when it comes to packaging, [which I am a huge sucker for] J.R. Watkins takes the cake!

I am a huge fan of fruity smells so my favorite J.R. Watkins lotions are the Lemon Cream, Vanilla, Mango, Coconut Milk + Honey and the Grapefruit! Really, I couldn’t choose just one. We seriously have a bottle in every room of our house. Oh yeah, and one in the car and the R.V.

Jump over to J.R. Watkins and pick up some cleaners + product care products for winter.

Green Holiday Giveaway #11: Lemur Vehicle Monitors | EconoDriver

Today’s first giveaway is sponsored by Lemur Vehicle Monitors. They are giving away a EconoDriver to one lucky reader!

EconoDriver helps you understand how much you are spending on fuel and how much money you are wasting. It  monitors your driving, to help you become more fuel efficient and displays your cost per trip, green rating and fuel economy.

This is how it works: Every time you use your vehicle the EconoDriver creates a detailed report of how much money you are wasting and spending on fuel. You enter the price of the fuel and EconoDriver does the rest. It also includes helpful green driving tips such as; slowing down, turning your vehicle off when you are stopped instead of idling and letting off the accelerator.

You simply plug the EconoDriver sensor into the port under your vehicle’s dashboard (I didn’t even know that port was there!), and hook the display fob on your key chain. The display keeps track of the total cost of fuel, wasted money, distance or kilometers and it has a 5 leaf green rating, which analyzes your driving efficiently and then gives you a rating!

You do NOT need a computer to use EconoDriver and there are no wires or necessary tools – it is simple to install.

Jump over to Lemur Vehicle Monitors and check out the EconoDriver.
