Noblo Beach Umbrella Buddy

Mom Invented Noblo Beach Umbrella Buddy

The mom invented Noblo Beach Umbrella Buddy has become a beach gear must have for parents who want to relax and enjoy a safe day at the beach without the fear of the beach umbrella flying away in a gust of wind injuring either their children or another beach goer. The Noblo acts as an anchor holding the beach umbrella in place. It’s simple to use: 1) Fill the reusable Noblo bag with sand and cinch closed, 2) Attach Velcro strap above umbrella spokes, and 3) Set Noblo on the site and enjoy your day at the beach.

-Noblo is manufactured in NJ, USA
-Noblo is packaged by physically and mentally handicap people
-Noblo donates part of the proceeds to the USLA - the lifeguards.

About Us - How the Noblo Was Born

Bess Abraham and Kathleen Pisano met at the beach in Ocean Grove, NJ, where their six children often played together. After witnessing a beach umbrella impale a woman’s leg in Florida, Bess always had been cautious of flying beach umbrellas. She admired Kathleen’s improvised anchor tied with a bag of sand. The two decided to create a simple product that would encourage more beachgoers to anchor their umbrellas, creating a safer environment for everyone on the beach. After careful research and a dedication to local manufacturing, The Noblo Umbrella Buddy was born in 2011.

Mommy Genius Drying Racks

Made in Indiana, USA - The original Mommy Genius Drying Rack was invented by stay-at-home mother of 3, Annie Pryor, because she wanted a convenient place in the kitchen to hang wet baby bibs up to dry between meals. This tall drying rack is also perfect for dish towels, washcloths, food storage bags, rubber gloves, icing bags, mugs, mittens, and children's boots. Then, in 2013, Annie developed a second, shorter drying rack that is ideal for sports water bottles, Soda Stream bottles, and baby bottles. In addition to bottles, this new drying rack is also perfect for food storage bags, towels, washcloths, and so much more. Judging by her inventions, it is obvious that Annie spends a lot of time at the kitchen sink doing dishes.

SUMMER SWEEPSTAKES WITH RON AND LISA

Having just returned from a tropical vacation ourselves, we can attest that nothing beats the scent of island air, palm trees swaying in the breeze, sun-kissed skin and the feeling of silky sand between your toes.  However, after leaving the beach, most of us prefer that the sand stay behind – where it belongs! All this summer vacation talk has me reminiscing about my childhood and thinking about, well…the dirty side of sand!

 On a beach or in your toes
sand is fun, but not on clothes!
In a park, or at the shore,
removing sand can be a chore!
I am Sand,
That Sand-I-am.
I like your home and your fam.
But, you prefer to keep me far,
not on your skin, nor in your car!

O.k., enough of my channeling Dr. Seuss – you get the picture!  Since we’ve raised the bar on our summer sweepstakes series, we wanted to introduce you a unique product for your summer sand challenges! SAND GONE: A must for Beachgoers®, is a dry body powder that, when applied to sand covered skin, removes the sand and leaves the skin soft and smooth while feeling fresh and clean. Sand Gone comes in an attractive eight ounce jar with a screw-able lid. Within the jar is a microfiber applicator. It is extremely soft, but also durable. It can be cleaned by household washers and dryers when necessary. The applicator also has a strap across it to help secure it to the user’s hand as the powder is applied.

The dry, white powder is both non-toxic and non-talc. It also contains a hint of coconut for a tropical scent derived from essential oils that are 100% pure and natural, of therapeutic grade and free from any chemicals or pesticides. Sand Gone is best used when cleaning up while leaving the beach. However, Sand Gone works perfectly well when cleaning up after the sand box, playground or wherever one encounters sand. It is like having a “dry shower” from a jar! In addition to removing the sand, Sand Gone also removes the salt from your skin after a day at the beach. No more uncomfortable “scratchy feeling” under clothing during the drive home. After using Sand Gone, you will quickly find that it becomes one of those must-haves at the beach, sandlot or park. You’ll now be equipped to pack your sunblock, towel, shades…and your jar of SAND GONE.

Not one…but two of our lucky readers will WIN (3) beautiful Sand Gone Beach Bags (ARV $156.00)!  Each winner can keep one for themselves and share or gift the others with friends, family members or loved ones –or- enjoy them all to yourself!  You will looove the gorgeous bag (which can be reused as small beach tote or gift bag), premium handmade almond coconut soap (which smells divine) and two sizes of Sand Gone for home and travel; an 8 oz.

SAND DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THE ENEMY WITH SAND GONE

 Even the biggest beach bum can't argue that sand ends up in the most uncomfortable places. Not to mention after a long day in the sun, it can be frustrating to try to clean it off everyone and everything before getting into the car. But because a beach without sand, well, isn't really a beach, it's pretty much unavoidable. Not to mention it's what kids love most about it (sand castles, burying each other, playing Frisbee). So if you're going to spend a day there, you're going to have to face it head on, not bury your head in it.

To get the sand off you and your kids there is Sand Gone Sand Remover. Sand Gone this amazing dry powder when applied to sandy parts of your body removes the sand leaving your skin soft and smooth.  A Must for Beachgoers!!! All natural ingredients with a hint of coconut fragrance.

Sand Gone comes in a 8oz container with a soft powder puff to apply to skin. You can order Sand Gone at www.sandgone.com  12.95 + shipping.
