Rug Pad Corner Review

A/N I was given product for free in exchange for a review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I was so astounded when I received an email from Rug Pad Corner to do a review for them. A good housing product for a small blogger such as me?!? Of course!

In our new home, we have wood flooring in all the rooms except for Rhys's bedroom. Now, I love wood floors, and it was fine, except for the living room. I knew that when Rhys would begin rolling and crawling, he'd need something soft to land on. Thankfully, my parents had an extra floor rug from when they moved that fit perfectly and matched our living room colors. But, our wood floor is super slippery. Seriously! There is this one spot near the stairs that we (and many family members) have slipped and fallen on. So, although we had a rug, it was slipping and sliding. We stuffed it under our couch, and that worked for then.


But, Rhys started scooting faster than we could've imagined! He started leaving the area of the rug and his arms and knees developed almost a "burn" from the hardness. So, when we got the rug pad, we immediately moved the rug out from underneath the couch.

The "installation" (if you can even call it that) was super easy. We put the pad, soft side down. Then, we just plopped the carpet on top of that.


When we first walked on it, it felt soft! Holy cow! Not only did the rug stay absolutely still, but it was softer! This was perfect! Now Rhys would have some buffer as he fell down rolling and sitting!

I definitely suggest checking out Rug Pad Corner at their website! They have rug pads for rugs on any type of flooring, there is no adhesive or chemicals, and you can even get it custom cut! They also donate some of their proceeds to charities such as the American Cancer Society, St. Jude's Children's Hospital, and the American Red Cross.

MercoBox Review

Wowee! Through a Utah Blogger facebook group I joined, I had the most unbelievable opportunity to review the Mercobox!

The Mercobox is a Utah subscription box that focuses on local businesses. 


I was super excited to open it!


And holy cow! I didn't expect to have this much packed into it! Wow! Talk about substance and worth! I was definitely satisfied with how much product was in here!

Eco Treasure Soap Nuts ($9.99)
Soap Nuts are an organic berry that grows in the Himalayas. It is a natural producer of soap. You are supposed to put these in your washer with your laundry and it slowly releases soap to wash your clothes. You can use these for 4-5 loads. I was going to use these immediately, but a key-getting-locked-in-the-car issue has made us postpone laundry till another day when we have time. But, I'm excited to save some money on laundry, especially since I have to pay the Laundromat to wash my clothes!

Ashley's Apothecary Healing Salve ($6.49)
This smells nice and I love that it is the color of green. It goes on very smooth, like top quality lip butter, almost. 

Meals that Transform Power Bar and Protein Mix ($5) 
We definitely know our share of protein shakes...we drink Slim-Fast and others like it a lot. I like protein and power bars as well. When I saw it, the size worried me a little. But, it was all-natural ingredients and my goodness it was delicious! I was only able to eat 2/3 of it for breakfast and was completely satisfied until lunch! It definitely was a power bar! We are excited to try the protein shake--the Mercobox came with a recipe as well.

Les Madelines ($3.75) 
These were freaking delicious! Oh my goodness! I felt I had to share these with Justin, but honestly, I regret it because these were the tastiest tea cakes ever!

Mason Jar coffee Roasters Colombia Guatica ($3.50) 
I don't drink coffee. But, I have a coworker at my school who claims he is a Coffee-snob (his own words). So, I gave him this to try. I'm excited to hear what he says.

Fit Me Tea 3 tea samples and filter ($6) 
I also don't drink tea, but these flavors seemed pretty cool. I think it's nice that they sent 3 different flavors, rather than just one. I have another coworker who likes tea, so I gave them to her.

Gift Cards!
Rodizio Grill gift card ($10 off 2 adult rodizios) Justin and I have never bee, but we have eaten at Tucanos and loved it, so we're excited to try Rodizio's!
Our Childrens Earth gift card ($5) This is an eco-friendly etsy shop!
Downtown Yoga gift card (free class) This'll be nice to try pregnant or not.
Ballet West gift card (buy 1 get 1 half off) Justin recently mentioned that we should see more plays or "cultural" events. This is our opportunity!

A typical Mercobox is about $35. But, there is a Mother's Day special coming up for only $14.99 plus S&H with the Promo Code: Mom. I'm definitely considering getting it for my mom, especially knowing how stock-full it will be! (Justin....here's an idea gift for you to get me)

You can save on this wonderful opportunity, too! Just use the following coupon code!
Coupon code: "iheartutah" for 25% off.
