Archives for March 2011

It’s definitely cold/flu season around my area.  Everywhere I go, there are people hacking, coughing, or sneezing.  I’ve became somewhat of a germaphobe since becoming pregnant.  I know I won’t be able to take strong antibiotics if I get sick so I’m trying my absolute best to avoid becoming ill.  I know I can’t protect myself from all germs and viruses (and it probably wouldn’t be good if I could) but there are a few things I can do to help promote wellness in my home.

One way that I have been trying to promote wellness is by cleaning the air with a Purely Products Healthy Night Light.  Purely Products is a company that provides responsible products for responsible living.  The Healthy Night Light is an ionizer, meaning it creates negative ions that attract positively charged allergens, thus removing those allergens from the air in our home.  Allergens include dust, mold spores, pet dander, etc.  This night light works for a room 12′x12′ in size.  Another plus is that studies show that negative ions actually help the body to release more seratonin, which, in turn delivers more oxygen to the brain, also helping the person to just feel good.  How neat?

We put the Healthy Night Light in our room.  With cold/flu season upon us we figured that would be the best place.  I would definitely love to have them all over our home, but I’ll at least buy another one for our nursery.  This handy little night light just plugs into any wall outlet.  The light automatically turns itself on and off, but it purifies the air even when off.  I was curious to see how hot the bulb would get to see if it’s safe to put in our baby girl’s room but it is cool to the touch.  It’s LED that lasts up to 35,000 hours, or about 1,458 days.  It only uses 1 watt of electricity, so it won’t even make a small dent in our power bill.  I would say that it’s a medium-sized night light, it’s not the smallest night light I’ve ever seen, but it certainly wouldn’t be classified as large either.  It still leaves room for something else to be plugged in.  It has a great, soft glow that isn’t too bright or too dim.  Even though I can’t actually “see” the night light working to make our room a healthier place but I do feel like we’re taking a step in the right direction with this night light.

You can purchase the Healthy Night Light in either a 1 Pack or 2 Pack, priced at $19.95 and $29.95, respectively BUT right now they are having a sale!  You can get 2 for $19.95 plus shipping and handling.  I’m not sure how long this sale will last so if you’re interested I would buy now.  You can get it in 3 different colors: cream, pink, or blue.  We have the cream, as it’s a more neutral color that goes with more things.  Purely Products has a “100% Happy 2 Year Warranty” on this product.

Purely Products is a company that gives to others. The founders of the company started a nonprofit called diaperlove that provides diapers to babies in need. Changing diapers. Changing lives. Did you know that WIC and Food Stamps don’t pay for diapers? Crazy, right? I have heard horror stories of moms actually washing out their disposable diapers to reuse them. Oh, I know, if only they knew about cloth, but…some moms don’t even have access to their own washer/dryer, or aren’t allowed to use laundromats for diaper laundry… so I’m glad to see a company reaching out to moms in need. When you shop at Purely Products, you are “buying for bottoms” as well, so you are helping out too!
