Protect yourself and your animals against tick-borne illness with the TickEase tick remover

NEWS – Well, that title just said it all, didn’t it?  The TickEase Tick Removal Tool was created by Dan Wolff, also known as Tick Man Dan.  He’s a tick-prevention specialist who has been bitten over 200 times and who has been educating people about tick removal and prevention for more than 20 years.  He’s now applied his expertise to designing a tick-removal tool that complies with the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s tick-removal guidelines, which advocate using a fine-tipped tool.

The TickEase tool is made of stainless steel.  One end has a thin, sharp-tipped set of tweezers for removing small ticks.

The other end is a slotted scoop for removing larger, engorged ticks.  You’ll also receive a magnifier and tick-testing instructions with the tool.

The TickEase Tick Removal Tool is $9.99 from The Grommet.

PlanetBox is the eco-friendly lunchbox for kids or adults

NEWS – Just like with most reusable lunch kits, taking your lunch from home will be more eco-friendly.  You will reduce waste because you won’t need plastic bags, waxed paper, or aluminum foil to package up your lunch.  You don’t have to worry if the PlanetBox lunchbox is food-safe and BPA-free.  PlanetBox says they take “non-toxic, non-leaching, safe from BPA, phthalates, and lead” very seriously.  Their lunch kit isn’t made of plastic – it’s made of high-quality stainless steel that’s warranted for 5 years.

PlanetBox lunchboxes have been thoughtfully designed after years of studying how people use lunchboxes.  They have compartments of various sizes to hold sandwiches or an entree, veggies, chips, fruit, and even some tiny compartments for dressings or even a small dessert.  The size of the compartments can guide you to pack sensible portions.  The lunch kits are dishwasher safe, and unlike plastic containers, the stainless steel doesn’t stain or hold on to odors.

The boxes are available in three sizes, so just like Goldilocks, you’ll be able to find a PlanetBox that’s just right for the way you pack lunch for your kids or yourself.  The Shuttle (small, center) holds 3.5 cups of food and is $39.95; the medium-sized Rover (left) holds 5 cups of food and is $55.95; and the large Rover (right) holds 7 cups of food and is $59.95.  You can purchase magnet kits to personalize the kits with designs from dinosaurs to galaxies, or you can have custom-printed magnets made for a truly unique kit.

PlanetBoxes are available alone or as part of kit with magnets, a carrying bag, and a drink bottle.  Other accessories, like cutlery sets, napkins, and snack containers, are also available.  Shop PlanetBox for your own eco-friendly lunchbox and accessories.  Also check out the meal planning ideas while you’re at the PlanetBox website.

The Mighty Sound by Capture Flow will keep you dancing while on the go!


NEWS – These days, there are literally thousands of Bluetooth speakers that are available on the market, all with various levels of sound and quality. The choices are so many, that consumers can find a speaker to fit almost every need whether the need is for use outdoors or indoors, and if necessary, it can be water resistant or waterproof. Many of us need the speaker to be portable enough to walk around with, and while many are quite portable, we usually have to carry them in a bag, or backpack, or on a wrist strap.

The Mighty Sound by Capture Flow is another such Bluetooth speaker that is designed for portability, but this speaker claims to pack a mighty sound while comfortably fitting in your pocket. Measuring just 3.5″L x 1.8″W x 0.7″H, this speaker is smaller than your cell phone, and thin enough to fit just about anywhere without the need for a bag or strap. It can be fully charged in approximately 2.5 hours, and it has a battery life of approximately 4 to 8 hours. Unlike the more common micro USB charging cables that can be used to charge most portable devices, this speaker uses a lightning cable.

You can purchase the Mighty Sound by Capture Flow in one of 4 colors on Amazon for $75.
