Anyone who loves to cook knows that having the right gear – from cookware to knives to utensils – remains critical. But lately, we’ve seen such an explosion in cookware options that a shopping trip for a sauté pan can prove overwhelming. Between non-stick, ceramic, stainless, cast iron, eco-friendly, and ceramic-covered cast iron – what’s a cook to do? At the recent International Housewares Show, I had the opportunity to catch up with the folks from DuPont to talk about the company’s best-in-class brand of Teflon non-stick cookware – the history, the science, and all those myths. The Evolution of Non-Stick Cookware As the category founder, DuPont engineered Teflon coating back in 1938, and it remains the brand name of DuPont’s line of non-stick cookware. As a science-based company, DuPont identifies its core values as safety, health, and the environment, creating products that combine performance with sustainability.

Wine Accessories from Trudeau
Mom Central received sample Trudeau products in order to facilitate this review. The views expressed here are entirely our own. There are some products you see that you never knew you needed until you do – then it’s tough to imagine life without them! Trudeau, a designer and supplier of housewares products, creates many of these such never before known necessities! Trudeau products fall within the main categories of kitchen gadgets, mills and spices, wine and bar, on-the-go, and coffee and tea – all of which are of interest to me, especially if a company comes up with unique, creative ways to simplify and enhance process and presentation.
T3 Featherweight Hair Dryer
Disclosure: Mom Central received the T3 Featherweight 2 Hair Dryer in order to facilitate this review. The views expressed here are entirely our own. When I think of heat styling tools, I think of damage. Everything from blow drying and straightening, to curling and coloring, we put our hair through a lot. The T3 Featherweight 2 Hair Dryer serves up heat styling in a healthy, protective way. With technology that decreases frizz, promotes shine and body, and makes brushing and combing easier, this dryer truly makes for healthy, beautiful hair. This lightweight dryer has an ergonomic handle that makes for easy handling and T3 Tourmaline Softaire dries hair at rapid speed. Two speeds and three heat settings allow for optimal versatility when achieving different styles while drying hair 63% faster than other dryers. Upon drying my hair with the T3 Hair Dryer, I was greeted at work with compliments on my hair, wondering if I recently had a cut and color. Having done nothing but blow-dry my hair with the T3, my hair was healthily transformed.
Mrs Meyer's Clean Day Radish Scent dish soap
Disclaimer: Mom Central received a sample of the Mrs. Meyer’s Radish scentcountertop spray and liquid dish soap to facilitate this review. Spring is finally here, and along with welcoming warmer temperatures, it’s always a great reminder to do some freshening up around the house! We were excited to hear about a new scent from Mrs. Meyer’s that reminds us of spring in the new Radish Scent collection, which provides liquid dish soap, liquid hand soap, countertop spray and all purpose cleaner. Mrs. Meyer’s is an aromatherapeutic line of cleaners and laundry products (available online and at Target) that combine naturally derived ingredients and essential oils to fight common stains. Mrs. Meyer’s products are biodegradable, packaged in recyclable bottles and do not include harmful parabens or phosphates.
Clinique’s Moisture Surge CC Cream
Disclosure: Mom Central received a sample of Clinique’s CC Cream in order to facilitate this review. The views expressed here are entirely our own. Makeup has evolved, and beauty experts have designed creams and sheens that not only make skin look beautiful, they actually work to correct skin imperfections—doubling as both a makeup and a correcting balm. BB and CC creams work to correct and enhance skin tone while providing lighter coverage than traditional “masking” foundations. Jumping on the CC cream bandwagon, we tested Clinique’s Moisture Surge CC Cream. This cream—having the added hydration component—glided flawlessly on my face and provided light, balanced coverage.

ECCO Sculptured 65 T-Strap
Disclosure: Mom Central received shoes from Ecco in order to facilitate this review. The views expressed here are entirely our own. Living in the city, dashing between work, meetings, dinner with friends, and home, doesn’t leave much time for wardrobe changes or room in our bags for an extra pair of shoes. While we at Mom Central want to look stylish and put together throughout the day, comfort, especially in heels, is a must. Quality and versatility rank at the top of the list of key features we look for in a shoe brand. Mom Central put a few of the new styles to the test from the Ecco Shoes Spring 2013 Collection, and are happy to report that these shoe styles passed the test with flying colors! Read about a few of our favorite Ecco shoes below!

Healthy Chia Snack Bars from Health Warrior
Disclosure: Mom Central received a variety of samples from Health Warrior in order to facilitate this review. The views expressed here are entirely our own. Chia seeds have become the latest health-food craze—and for good reason. Nutrient-rich chia seeds prove beneficial when it comes to a host of health and exercise concerns. We recently tried Health Warrior Chia Bars, our first time testing out this healthful seed. If Aztec warriors were able to build an entire empire from the power of chia seeds, we thought we’d give it a try, too. The Health Warrior Chia Bars not only tasted great, but also kept us fuller—and for longer when compared to other nutritional bars. Not surprising, because the chia seed—the Health Warrior Chia Bar’s main ingredient—gels, allowing the bar to sustain you for a greater period of time.
