If You Care Review & Giveaway~5 winners~ 5/24 CLOSED

If You Care was conceived of as a brand of environmentally friendly kitchen and household products. If You Care kitchen and household products are carefully and deliberately crafted to have the least environmental impact and the lightest carbon footprint possible, while at the same time, delivering to the consumer, the highest quality and most effective results.

Its not always easy to run a green household. So I either have to try to find alternatives in my cabinets, which rarely works. Thanks to If You Care , and their amazing line of household products, I can get the things I need without the guilt. They make it easy to be a green mama.

I was lucky enough to receive one of each of their amazing products (pictured above) to review, and while I haven't had to try out each and every one of them yet, I thought I would highlight a few of my favorites that I know I will use everyday.

The first product I tried were their coffee filters. They are available in a wide range of sizes including basket filters in No. 2, 4 and 6. They work just as well as other brands, and it tasted just as good. The filters are tan in color instead of white because the paper is unbleached which is healthier for us as well as the environment.


Another item I use almost everyday is foil. The If You Care Recycled Aluminum Foil is made from 100% recycled aluminum, and it can be recycled again and again. There are no toxins or glues on the box and its suitable for vegetarians and vegans. It worked great for cooking as well as storing leftovers.

These are only a few examples of the amazing products you can find at If You Care. They also have parchment paper, baking cups, gloves, cheese cloth and more. Whatever you need for your kitchen projects, you are sure to find it at If You Care . They are a little more money than average, but if you care about the Earth, they are worth a little bit of extra expense.

If You Care products are available at grocery supermarkets, natural & health food stores like Whole Foods and food co-ops almost everywhere.

Thanks to Ms. Charlotte A. of If You Care , Five lucky SampleTrain members will each receive an If You Care T-shirt. Sizes are available in medium through XL. One of the five winners will also receive any 2 products from the baking line!
