This is no ordinary cup. This cup is seriously something straight out the The Jettisons (remember that old 70’s cartoon?). Ozmo had the average every day person in mind when developing their revolutionary product, the Ozmo Cup. We are typically under-hydrated and over-caffeinated every day. At least I am! Being a busy mom of 2, I often forget to pick up a glass of water. I chug a tad too much cold coffee. I know this, and always accepted it as an unchangeable fact, until now.
Ozmo comes from the scientific term, Osmosis. Osmosis is the diffusion of water from a region of high water potential to a region of low water potential. – Ozmo.io
The Ozmo is a cup and app that uses sensor technology to measure your water and coffee intake, which is then transferred to your app. You are able to live time see how much water and or coffee you have taken in today. Here are some of the basic highlights for you:
1 blue LED light: achieved 20% of your hydration goals for the day.
2 blue LED lights: achieved 50% of your hydration goals for the day.
3 blue LED lights: achieved 90 % of your hydration goals for the day.
3 blue LED lights blinking: achieved all your hydration goals for the day.

I cannot even begin to say how cool this cup really is. I mean, we are attached to our phones, so having an app that helps you keep hydrated is just so smart. The app is free and can work independently from the cup. You can manually put in your water/coffee intake and you are set. However, the cool part about the whole program is the cup itself. Having a cup with a USB port makes my nerdy side grin.
The primary reason I like this cup so much is because it’s so easy to use. I don’t have time to monkey around with inputting data and measuring out things. The app and cup do all this for me. It even has the option to give me a reminder when I have not taken a drink in a while; it vibrates to give me a friendly heads up. The charge hold is amazing! It really does go days and days and days without needing a charge. Not having to remember one more thing to plug in at night is such a blessing. Filling up is easy-peasy. Just fill up to the top line (which hold 16 ounces of water), twist the lid on securely and take a swig.
This cup is NOT dishwasher safe, however they are working on making a newer version that will be. The support staff is always working on ways to make things more efficient and smooth for the user. They want to make you a healthier you but without you having to do the dirty work.
The app has been available on iTunes for Apple users for a while, and only came available to Android users in the past few weeks. The app is free on both devices to download. You can personalize your app by inputting your gender, age, weight, height and activity level. The app will then suggest a daily ounce intake and you can accept it or not. If you want more or less than the suggest total you can change it too.
Karen, a mother and entrepreneur, started Gaia Natural Cleaners for the sake of her children. This world is vital to our future and its success, and the more we can preserve it, the better off we leave it for future generations. Karen wondered, “what kind of world do we want to leave behind for our children?” With that in mind, we have done everything in our power to live healthier and more environmentally friendly lives…for our home, community, and environment. – Gaia Natural Cleaners Website

Gaia product line contains:
Part of my 2016 goal is to make more green choices. This includes how I choose to clean and what products I use. As a mother I am always cleaning. Dish after dish, load of laundry one after the next. It literally is never ending. When I do each chore I need a product which will help clean but not hurt my family. When I found out about Gaia I was intrigued. They have effective ingredients, which are not harsh or abrasive, as well as natural oils and scents. It seemed too good to be true, but thankfully it wasn’t! GAIA is amazing! If we ever hire the best Maid Service in Thousand Oaks, then I am 100% saying that this is what I want them to clean with, because I could not be happier.
I had never heard of powder hand soap before seeing it made by GAIA. This soap is completely preservative free, which is one of the things I have been looking for in products lately. It works just the same as a liquid. Only it’s powder. You simply shake some on your hand, add a bit of water, lather and rinse! I think this is such a fun product. It comes in 3 scents: Tea Tree, Lemon, and Lavender.
I love how this soap actually lathers and cleans! Having never seen or used powdered soap I was unsure how it would really stack up. Using a small amount I added water and then saw I added too much water and it all fell off my hand. The second try I put a small amount of powdered soap and a small splash of water on already wet hands. This was the perfect storm and the soap started to bubble up once I started moving my hands around. I love this soap so much. It great for everyday use and would make the perfect housewarming gift.
Dish soap is such an everyday item. I use my dishwasher like most other people, but there will always be certain items that I will not place in my dishwasher. My children’s plates and bowls (not safe), my wooden spoons and utensils (can cause warping and splitting due to high heat), and other things that I am particular about. I use my dish soap daily. I have tried TONS of dish soaps. I have had a very hard time finding an earth-friendly option that actually cuts the grease and works. I have tossed out my fair share of soaps which I felt were sub-par. My husband and I joke that we have such high standards when it comes to our dish soap.
GAIA’s Dish Soap is Castile based, meaning that you can clean with your mind as ease. Being a natural based soap it will not lather like a traditional dish soap. This can be off-putting or confusing to those who are unaware. The unnecessary additives like preservatives cause the studding effect. There will be some studding in the beginning of cleaning, but as it is in use the suds will start to dissipate. This doesn’t mean it is not working/cleaning. You can feel it with your hands whether it is clean or not.
This dish soap has a dual purpose! You can also use it as a hardwood floor cleaner. Add a few squirts to your bucket of water and bam! You have some lovely floor cleaner that smells amazing, and some say this works really well.
This dish soap comes in 3 scents: Grapefruit & Tea Tree, Lemongrass, and Lavender & Lime.
I do so much laundry. Like so much. Having 2 toddlers, 2 cats and a pet husband (LOL) we have at least 1 or 2 loads a day. That added with cloth diaper laundry, I am my that machine more than I would like to admit. Gaia’s laundry soap is held to the same standards as the products I have mentioned above. It is HE friendly and completely biodegradable. Effective for all fabrics, temperatures and settings. It can lift stains and odors like you want it to.
It comes in 3 scents: Cleansing & Purifying (Tea Tree), Uplifting & Refreshing (Lemon), and Balancing & Relaxing (Lavender).
Each and every item the GAIA offers is a treat to behold. Whether you decide to buy it for yourself or as a gift, you will not be disappointed. Click here to check out more about GAIA and view their full line of products.

I love my Buttons cloth diapers. They are the best 2 in 1 style diapers for my child. I love them for quick trips out and about. Instead of lugging a ton of AIO diapers in my diaper bag, I can toss in a few super absorbent, yet thin inserts, along with a Buttons cover and bang! I am ready to rock!
My sons skinny legs and tiny waist can cause diapers to leak not only through the leg gussets but also up his front. Buttons Diapers have never leaked do to his size. I have had a few leaks, but hey, all kids have a mega pee load occasionally right!? This print is really what makes it stand out. Foxes are so on point. They are everywhere you look, but this print is unique. I have never seen it used before, making it more appealing. Its a dark brown and orange combo, its the perfect unisex diaper. Little arrows that intersect each other are the underlying spacer design which fill the diaper in a subtle way; not taking over the primary focus of the fox design. I cannot say enough awesome stuff about this diaper!
