TOILET TREE TRAVEL BAG WITH ACCESSORIES – REVIEW


 

I received a Toilet Tree for .  It’s very nice leather and very roomy.

 When I first opened it, I didn’t know it had an extra compartment in the bottom.  So that was nice to see.  Then I opened it and there’s 3 empty bottles in it for putting your own lotion, shampoo, etc in!  I love that!  It also had a toothbrush holder and collapsible cup with pill holder. This is going to come in handy when we go to the beach in a couple weeks.

 

 

It could also be used as a make up bag or medicine.  The nylon fabric interior is water proof.  So that’s great for going to the beach. The outside is double stitched, making it very durable  and the leather is very easy to clean, too.  That’s always important to me.  Sometimes, the kids aren’t always real careful with things.

If you would like to see all their products, go to Toilet Tree Products.  They’re very reasonably priced.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

 

TOILET TREE FOGLESS MIRROR – REVIEW

I received a Toilet Tree for .

I was excited to get one of these for my husband.  He’s been wanting one for a while now.

The first thing to do is, mount it on the shower wall.  It was pretty easy to put up.

Watch the video:

 

Usually, this kind of mirror fogs up rather quickly.  To his delight, this one didn’t do that!  It’s guaranteed to not fog up, for it’s lifetime!  It also has a built-in shelf for the razor and anything else you may need.  It’s adjustable for people of all heights.

Another thing he likes about it is, it has a  built-in squeegee to wipe any water drops that may get on it.

The ToiletTree Fogless Shower Mirror  is guaranteed not to rust, discolor or harm your shower wall.  And it comes with a 100% 30 day, money back guarantee.  Although, I don’t think we’ll be needing that.  I don’t think anyone will ever send one of these back.  It’s pretty cool!

ToiletTree’s Fogless Shower Mirror is available for purchase online at www.toilettreeproducts.com, as well as www.amazon.com starting at  $29.95.

 

The Do’s and Don’ts for Marketing With Pinterest

THE DO’S AND DON’T'S FOR WITH

Brands are piling into Pinterest, the wildly popular visual bookmarking tool. And plenty are making mistakes along the way as they try to figure out how to use the site for their marketing.

Do get social and build relationships
Pinterest is a social destination, so get involved with its community. Find active Pinterest members and build relationships with them by following them, repinning their content and commenting on their pins. The commenting feature in Pinterest is still greatly underutilized, and you can stand out by using it frequently.

Do create group pinboards and crowdsource
You don’t have to go it alone on Pinterest. Create group pinboards and invite other users to pin content to those boards. For example, ask customers to pin pictures of themselves using your products. You also could hold a to crowdsource pins. Ask customers to your business or product on your website and pin a quote from their to a special pinboard. You benefit from more reviews and a pinboard that’s filled with testimonials.

Don’t use pinterest for direct marketing

Pinterest states that the site should not be used for direct marketing, advertising or . Excessive and overt self-promotion is clearly unacceptable, so make sure you’re pinning diverse content, not just pictures of your products. You need to get creative and use Pinterest for indirect marketing. For example, fill pin boards with seasonal items, color coordinated images, gift ideas and so on. For inspiration, Scholastic has a variety of creative pinboards that are excellent examples of indirect marketing.

Don’t forget who the Pinterest audience is
Approximately three out of four Pinterest users are currently women. While the site is beginning to attract more male users, you shouldn’t waste time pinning a lot of content that women are unlikely to be interested in.

Don’t pin anything and everything
Cluttering your pinboards with everything you think people might like is a mistake. Just as people don’t like to sift through clutter in search engine results and on websites, they don’t want to be overwhelmed on Pinterest. Stay focused, but don’t be afraid to pin interesting content that your target audience would enjoy and that’s at least loosely connected to your business. Such content can help give your brand more personality.

USE PINTEREST TO SAVE MONEY

It should come as no real surprise that the nation faces serious economic challenges and uncertainties. The recently released June jobs report revealed that the U.S. economy added an underwhelming 80,000 jobs, according to the Department of Labor. This does not even keep pace with demographics and the unemployment rate remains at a staggeringly high 8.2 percent. However, the real unemployment rate is probably closer to 15 percent since the Bureau of Labor Statistics estimate of 8.2 percent does not include people who have given up looking for work. These individuals are recognized as having exited the labor force. Millions of workers in the U.S. are underemployed as well, which means they hold positions below their qualifications and credentials.

During these challenging economic times, it is so important for individuals and families to . The unfortunate reality in today’s economy is that job losses are as common as a kid losing his or her baby teeth. By saving money, you can prepare yourself for a potential job loss or major surprise expenses, which are also a reality of life. You may need to purchase a new car or deal with an unexpected medical expense, for example, at any time.

So, how can you discover ways to save money? Did you know that you can utilize Pinterest to save money? is the hottest social networking tool on the Internet today. is a virtual photo-sharing community that allows its users to create their own digital pinboards that can be organized by various categories, which may include beauty, fitness and home decor, for example. Users can then “pin” relevant images to their boards or “re-pin” images from other users’ boards. The most popular content themes that can currently be observed on include beauty, fashion, fitness, foods, arts and crafts, home decor and inspirational items.

Let’s take a look at three ways you can use Pinterest to save money. Read on, frugal saver…

Discover Inexpensive Do-It-Yourself Projects

I have discovered so many amazing do-it-yourself projects on Pinterest that have allowed me to cut spending on expensive products. I’ve been able to make my own homemade cleaning products that work amazing well thanks to ideas I found on Pinterest. By making your own homemade laundry detergent and bathtub cleaner, for example, you can really save a good deal of money. If you spend money on skincare products, you probably know how quickly the expenses can pile up. I’ve discovered so many homemade skincare ideas that can be made easily with just everyday foods.

Follow Fellow Frugal Savers

With Pinterest, you can connect with and follow the pinboards of fellow frugal savers. This is a surefire way to discover great money-saving ideas and strategies. I’ve been able to find great ways to save money on organic foods and for date nights, for example, thanks to other Pinterest users I follow. I’ve even seen other users pin images of major retailers that are offering incredible deals and at the time.

Find Coupons on Pinterest

Pinterest is loaded with highly engaging and captivating multimedia content. Images that will interest frugal savers include coupons. Several coupons sources such as Coupons.com have established a presence on Pinterest. You can find printable coupons and coupon codes on Pinterest. All frugal savers know that coupons are an excellent way to save loads of money.

During these challenging economic times that we live, it really is important to get creative in order to save money. Pinterest is a fun social networking tool you can tap into for entertainment purposes and to discover amazing money-saving strategies.
