Use boiling water instead of tap water to make clear ice. Great for putting fruit, herbs, flowers or surprises in.

Fonda LaShay I just ordered 2, I wanted to make sure I like them before I stock up.

Fonda LaShay Mine just came in the mail. I actually cancelled my first order and changed it. In the first one I asked no plastic and they said ofc. I did not say it in the second and got a bubble evenplope and some samples. eh. next time I will remind that a normal envelope is ok and for no samples. also, the bristles are not bamboo, they are biodegradable polymer..

Beth Terry Fonda, I think the polymer is made from bamboo, isn't it? Did they send the first order completely plastic-free? Any tape?

Profile picture of Fonda LaShay

Fonda LaShay I canceled the first order. never got it. This came in a paper bubble lined envelope, plastic taped shut with 2 tiny plastic bag samples in it. The people are very nice there though, I think if you were to message them and ask they would be willing to comply. I just really dropped the ball on this one :(

Profile picture of Fonda LaShay

Fonda LaShay alternatively, i found a few other sites that sell them. All look to have the same prices. But you could ask them about shipping methods. http://www.jordklok.se/eko-... http://eleven.se/eko-tandbo... http://www.loveko.se/kompos... http://www.clearlife.se/eko...

Did you know that a teaspoon of honey (raw is best) and a 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon will usually knock out a cold within a day or two? Take twice a day for 3 days for best results.

Got a Fever? Skipping the Meds Has ALWAYS Been the Best Policy. Bringing down a fever handicaps this natural immune response, prolongs the illness and more than likely induces a secondary infection that may require – you guessed it: a visit to the Doc to get a prescription for antibiotics.
