#sleepwithlinenly Review

I love a new set of sheets! I'm really spoiled with Linenly Bamboo Sheets. They feel so soft! This set has a 400 thread count! It contains no harmful chemicals, which is great for my allergies/asthma! 


The Sheets Came in this Bag:

I like how the bag tell you all about your sheets, and how to care for them. I do think the turquoise ink is hard to read on the grey fabric.


Includes:

1 fitted sheet
1 flat sheet
2 pillow cases

I sometimes wish sets had 4 pillowcases. My Mom said she's bought sets with 4 before. Many people sleep with more than 1 pillow + it's great to switch pillowcases out more so than your sheets during allergy season. 



It is great that they sent me a grey set. I do have other grey sets, so I can pair up their pillow cases with this set.

Colors:

White
Ivory
Grey Blue
Light Grey
Violet Pink
Forest
Olive Green
Platinum
Taupe

I didn't really have a choice, for color. BUT would totally pick the color they sent me, or platinum.

Care:

I wash my sheets before putting them on my bed. They did dry a bit wrinkly. They are super soft.

Wash in cold water, use no fabric softener, line dry, or dry on the cool setting.

I used to dry my sheets outside on a line. Sheets smell good when they are line dried outside. I just don't know it they collect pollen, when they are out there. I dry my sheets in the dryer.


Bed Made:

I did feel like the fitted sheet worked great. You know how some are hard to fold over the corners? This set isn't like that at all!

They pride themselves of having long sheets. I'd rather have shorter sheets on the sides. Then the comforter/duvet will cover up the sheets.



Sizes:

Queen | King

Who has room for a King Sized Bed? Not I. I have a Queen. I do wish however that they sold Twin too! I'm looking for a set to replace Mica's bedding.

Happy Camper:

Overall I'm really happy with this set! You can get it here https://www.linenly.com.au/products/bamboo-sheet-set for $239.95 $164.95. The set is on sale.

#Bamboo Sheets and Duvet Cover Review

There's nothing better than getting something new. I particularly love getting new bedding! 


Bamboo Tranquility sent me a Classic Collection of Bamboo Queen Sheets with two Pillow Cases: 


Sizes Their Bedding Comes in: 

Twin | Queen | King | California King

Colors: 

Steel Grey | White | True Ivory

We got Steel Grey. They didn't ask what color I'd like, but that is the color I'd pick. When I put it on our bed my husband said, "Wow that's the color I'd pick!" A win win on the color!

I also like tan and light green bedding. Possibly if their company continues to go they could add more color options.


Other Features: 

  • You sleep cooler. Wonderful for my husband that sweats in his sleep.
  • It's eco friendly, which is great for me that has allergies and asthma! 
  • Softer than 1000 thread count. I didn't know that was even possible. They are super soft!
Cost:

$109, for the set.

Overall Thoughts:

I'm so happy with them.

They didn't wrinkle up, which is nice. They are super soft!

They haven't slipped off the bed. I've had sets that slip off the corners of the mattress. I've been sick with something for two weeks, so I've been sleeping more than usual. They certainly have been put through the test.

I thought when I read that you sleep cooler it would bother me. I'm not going to lie, I like it warm on winter nights. Especially on -15 windchill nights. I've slept really well ever since I've gotten this set! The coolness must not bother me. The sheets adjust to your body temperature. It satisfies my husband that has night sweats, for sure. I know we'll love these on hot summer nights!

They also sent me a Bamboo Linen Duvet Cover with two Pillow Cases:


I love the bag it came in. It could practically be used as a laundry bag. 

Sizes Their Bedding Comes in: 

Queen/Full | King/California King

Colors: 

Stone Grey | Pure White

We got Stone Grey. I think grey goes with everything. We need bedding that's neutral. Our walls are red-orange.

You can see I've been hanging a little too much in my room. It's hard not to when I'm sick, and the bedding is so comfortable.


Cost:


$139, for the set. Remember it comes with 2 pillowcases!

Features:

It too is soft and breathable. It's made with a Natural Flax Linen mixed with the Bamboo Linen that their sheets are made of. The Duvet Cover is allergy safe. 

The material is wrinkle-free, but I found that the pillow cases were a bit wrinkly. I also have an old dryer.

I do kind of wish the set came with a bed skirt. Our previous bedding had a shirt that was brown. I feel like that needs to go. 

It was easy to put together to make the bed. 

I'd like to get a new Duvet. Does anyone have any recommendations? 

Wash and Dry:

All the bedding washed up really well! I just washed it all in cold.

I don't use fabric softener. I heard from a friend to not use it with bamboo fabrics. I do however use wool dryer balls. Added to one of the wool balls is always a squirt of essential oils to give my clothes, towels, or bedding a scent. This time I used lemon.

The dryer lent trap was so soft! That seems like an odd thing to bring up, but I knew we would sleep good with the bedding!

Making My Bed:


I added a blanket for the -15 windchill we have in Nebraska. Oh joy!


The bedding looks great!


My little model did not say, "No!" to getting his picture taken when I said he could lay down in our bed.


Do you get excited with new bedding?

Cariloha - Luxury Organic Bamboo Sheets Review

I haven't had new sheets for a long time. Last week I got an amazing set! Cariloha - Luxury Organic best bamboo sheets are the softest sheets I've ever had!


I have bad allergies, and need as much sleep as I can get.

Colors:

  • Sage: The color I chose
  • Sandy Shore: Was my second choice
  • Bahama Blue
  • Ivory
  • White



I really like all their colors, but sage and sandy stone go with our bedroom more.


The Queen Set Comes With:
  • 2 pillow cases: We have larger bamboo pillows, and the cases fit our pillows really well.
  • A fitted sheet
  • A standard sheet



I think I'm in bedding heaven. The sheets aren't perfect with how smooth they are. All the pictures are after we've slept on them for a few nights. I'm just trying to keep it real.

Cost:

S199.99, but on sale for $179. It does work with Amazon Prime.


Disclaimer: I received these sheets for a discounted price for the purpose of this review. The opinions are 100% mine.

Bamboo Toothbrush with Soft Bristles Review

I know many people think about diapers filling up landfills, but what about toothbrushes? I know toothbrushes are small. Every household uses them.


WooBamboo Eco-Awesome Toothbrushes are a stylish and eco friendly alternative to the typical landfill-cluttering plastic toothbrush. I received a Bamboo Toothbrush to review.


I wanted to try one because I believe that small things in landfills add up.

These toothbrushes are made with bamboo... 

  • that's sustainable
  • that's organically grown
  • that's biodegradable
  • that's antimocrobial
  • that's panda-friendly!


Packaging:

The only thing I wish that was different, is that it wouldn't be packaged with plastic. Just a small box would do. It defeats the purpose of saving on landfills if there's plastic in the packaging. 


The bristles are perfect in my opinion. They say that they are soft. I thought they felt in the middle of soft and hard. I like that! Extra soft bristles just don't get the gums clean in my opinion.




Isaak saw this "new" toothbrush sitting on the sink and he was amazed at the look of it. He said, "Mom that's made from wood!" I said, "Nope! It's made from bamboo." Then we had to look up bamboo. 

Cost:

$4.95 and on sale for $3.99. If it seems like a lot, it's nothing compared to some of the toothbrushes I've gotten for the boys. Those light up toothbrushes are not cheap. 

I do like this toothbrush! It's Eco-Awesome.

Disclaimer: I received this eco-friendly toothbrush for free for the purpose of this review. The opinions are 100% mine.

6 Piece Bamboo Kitchen Utensils Set Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

I'm on a mission to get rid of plastic. I've read so many bad things about plastic. Some of the chemicals companies are using to replace BPA are worse than BPA. Metal is nice, but it scratches pans. I jumped at the chance to review a 6 piece Bamboo Kitchen Utensils Set. We have a bamboo cutting board set, and I just love it. I knew I'd love a utensil set just the same.


There's nothing worse than buying a new kitchen utensil set only to find out the tools are made from low quality materials that only break and become useless in a few weeks. That has happened to me before. I'm happy to say that the 6 piece Bamboo Kitchen Utensil Set is not going to break!

Benefits of Bamboo Styles 6-Piece Kitchen Utensil Set
  • Durable Moso Bamboo
  • 15% Stronger than Maple and 33% Lighter than Oak
  • Easy to Clean & Maintain
  • Natural Bamboo with No Dyes or Colors
  • FSC Certified - To Ensure Sustainable and Ethical Harvesting
  • Doesn't Scratch Pans and Pots
  • Renewable Resource
  • Anti-Bacterial Properties 
  • It's not expensive! It's $15.97, and on sale for $9.49.
The Set Came With:

Single Hole Spoon and Spoon



Fork and Slotted Spoon

 

Slotted Spatula and Spatula


I Decided to Cook up Some Veggies:

Zucchini, squash, and a little bit of tomato. I used my new bamboo fork to break up the veggies, and keep them cooking.

It worked like a charm, and cleaned up great!


Fish, Broccoli and Veggie Mix

Ask Yourself:

Are you looking for a complete kitchen utensil set for all your cooking needs?

Do you want something that won't hurt the environment?

Want to add that natural look to your kitchen?

Do you want new kitchenware that is stylish, effective and eco-friendly?

Fortunately, their premium bamboo range use only high-quality hard Moso bamboo that is compressed so won't warp and crack. Their products are FDA tested too. This ensures they contain no nasty chemicals, so that you can be confident in serving your family and friends a meal that is purely your own ingredients. They guarantee no warping or cracking or your money back!
