We have featured many amazing products from chicBuds, so we were super excited to hear that they are giving back! The ladies at chicBuds, Nikki and Kailynn, are dedicated to finding a cure to breast cancer and will be donating 10% of all PINK product proceeds at chicBuds.com to the Susan G. Koman foundation in the month of October.

There are some new products, in addition to our favorites. The Speaker Keychain, which we just got to try out and are in love with, comes in 3 Pink styles. It’s a perfect way to listen to your MP3 player when you don’t feel like wearing earphones. The speaker is great too, I was happily surprised at the sound that came out of such a small ball. I also love that it’s a key chain, easy to keep handy. It comes with a USB charger so you never have to worry about batteries, and even comes in a little bag you can keep everything together in.

So, be sure to check chicBuds in October for some great holiday shopping with purpose!

One of our favorite companies, Mimoco, has partnered with Sanrio in honor of Sanrio’s 50th anniversary! If you aren’t familiar with Mimoco, they make the most fun (and also functional) USB drives ever. Just look at how cute this My Melody MIMOBOT is! And they have so many more favorite Sanrio characters too!

The new SANRIO MIMOBOT flash drives are offered in memory capacities ranging from 2GB to 16GB and come pre-loaded with exclusive MIMOBOT-themed content like wallpapers, screensavers and videos specific to each character. MIMOBOT flash drives can be purchased online at www.mimoco.com.

I have a C3PO MIMOBOT flash drive and love it! Of course now, I totally want to add a few Sanrio characters to my flash drive collection! These are perfect gifts for the tech lover in your life. Very wish list worthy indeed!

If you are a gardener, and a cook, or even if you just try to be, then the NatureMill is going to be your new best friend. The NatureMill is an indoor composter that can be set up in your kitchen (or anywhere else really), to make quick use of your table scraps. The result is awesome compost that will be great for using in your gardens and flowerbeds. I seriously can not wait for spring so I can put the compost to good use.

NatureMill Composter

I have so many great things to tell about this product, for example, you can add food to the mix at any time, up to 120 lbs a month! That is a lot of food that would have been wasted that instead will become beautiful compost! There is no mixing, the machine does all the work. We love that there are no trash odors, and the variety of items we can put inside. The NatureMill provides a continuous air flow and a powerful carbon filter to remove odors, and the compost tumbler is completely sealed!

Compost is ready in 2 weeks, and there is even a red light to let you know when it’s time to empty the bin. Unlike traditional composting methods, you can add meat, dairy, and fish. You can even compost pet waste, kitty litter, and cage beddings. This is because the NatureMill has high temperatures inside.

It was very easy to set up and get going. The instructions were clear, and the product comes assembled, so all you have to do is make the composting mix. Everything you need is included except for one cup of dirt (which you can get out of your garden, even if the dirt is frozen).

We eat a lot of fresh vegetables and fruits, so it has been wonderful to be able to easily convert the waste into compost. Now in the middle of the snowy winter, we don’t have to think about running out to add scraps to the compost pile, we just add it to the NatureMill in the kitchen! We would really love to get the cabinet kit (shown in the photo), if only we had a free cabinet.

The composter does have to be plugged in, and it works best when you break up your food waste into small bits. It’s been very nice to be able to add our pet waste and especially the bird cage bedding, which used to go to the regular trash can. I can’t wait to be able to use our compost in our future garden beds when spring arrives. It will be such a great way to start off our plantings, and to feed our garden, without having to spend money on commercial compost!

You can buy online direct from the company via the NatureMill website, and you can also check for local stores. The NatureMill should be on the wish list of everyone who loves to garden, or just wants a better way to address the food waste in their household.

If you are like me, you love your music, and especially being able to hear that music well (even if you nee to use headphones). So of course when I got the chance to try a pair of DJ Sport Headphones by chicBuds, I was very excited.

When they arrived I was happy to see that they came with two sizes of  connectors, one smaller, which was perfect for using with my iPod, and a lareger that works well for listening to a stereo or television. Another feature that I like about them is that they fold up for easy storage. The adjustable headband also makes them easy to adjust and fit comfortably.

The headphone size is also quiet nice, especially for those who have a hard time wearing ear buds. Personally I prefer bigger headphones because they tend to sound better, and this pair sounds great.

They are priced nicely as well, at just $29.99 a pair, they are a great gift choice for the music lover in your life. The headphones come in a choice of two fun colors, one of which is actually multi-colored. My sample product was a pink pair, as shown in the photo. They are a lot of fun to wear out on my daily walks, and they definitely attract some looks too! It’s not everyday you see bright pink, big headphones! I love how unique they are.

They can be purchased online at chicBlvd.
