Product reviews, giveaways and helpful articles for moms
Winner - Christie I’m so grateful that Emma has inherited my olive complexion; she tans nicely and almost never burns. That doesn’t stop me from slathering her in sunscreen. The problem is, she also got my sensitive skin, and it reacts harshly to some lotions and sunscreens. We don’t live a completely organic lifestyle, but I have made some changes this year in the right direction. For the most part those changes have increased our shopping budgets, but this newest product … [Read more...]
Winner - Amber! Last weekend, I enjoyed my very first facial. Well, to say I enjoyed it may be a stretch, but I will definitely return for another one in a few months. My skin looks great now that it’s done, but the process was quite painful. If you’ve ever had a facial you know that it can cause soreness for a few days after. Thankfully, I found some relief with the Atopalm Intensive Moisturizing Cream. This rich, hydrating formula for dry, sensitive skin nourishes skin … [Read more...]
Winner - Kimberly! As a child I was way into dirt and worms, climbing trees and kickball. You might have called me a tomboy. But not Emma, she is a real girly girl. My little fashionista is into shoes, purses and makeup. She absolutely loves when I paint her nails with Piggy Paint. What I love about Piggy Paint is that it’s all natural, or as the slogan goes, “natural as mud”. In my last review I posted about how regular nail polish eats through Styrofoam. That’s pretty … [Read more...]
Since my hairstyle doesn’t require frequent cuts, I don’t make it to the salon very often. When I do have an appointment, I look forward to the adult conversation, the pampering, and discovering fancy hair products. A great ‘do doesn’t come naturally for everyone. Some of us need a little help. While I have a lot of hair, it is extremely fine. If I don’t use a great clarifying shampoo for my hair, it literally falls flat. That extra buildup weighs me down … [Read more...]
The winner is Breanne! Lately I’ve been moisturizing my skin several times per day, and it keeps thirsting for more. I forgot how damaging the dry heat can be on my skin during the winter months when I’m just trying to stay warm. The other victim of this harsh winter season is my hair. The constant knots at the nape of my neck tempt me to chop all of my hair off, but there is an easier way. By consistently moisturizing hair during the winter, you can combat knots, breakage … [Read more...]
The winner is Nancy M.! My husband and I fight over products. He's always using my stuff. If there's something I want to keep for myself, I have to make sure it has a sweet, girly scent so he keeps his paws off. Lucky for him, SkinMD Natural Shielding Lotion is unscented. It's a moisturizer that's suitable for any person, at any age, male or female and it's one of his favorites. Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion is a lightweight formula that absorbs into the skin without … [Read more...]
Closed – Congrats to Emy!It seems that no matter how hard I try, I can’t keep my lips from getting chapped. See, I’m a licker, and we all know that licking your lips causes them to chap. Even if it temporarily “moisturizes” your lips, in the end it worsens matters. I was introduced to Aquaphor Lip Repair during the BlogHer conference in August, and was recently sent a “Wonder Set” including a few other Aquaphor products. Aquaphor Lip RepairThis is the only … [Read more...]
Contest Closed. Congrats to the winner - Becky I hadn’t heard of a body candle before I was introduced to the Shimmering Lotion Candle by Scandle. The thought of pouring hot wax onto my skin sounded a little scary, and to be frank I wasn’t sure what to expect from this body candle. But this is not your typical home candle. The patent-pending body candle burns at 2° above body temperature so that it is warm on the skin but not scalding hot. I received a travel … [Read more...]
Contest Closed. Congrats to #13 moushka When my husband and I were newly engaged and ready to spend our first Christmas together, I inquired about what kind of gift he’d wanted. The answer that I got wasn’t what I expected. It wasn’t very romantic or flashy, but a practical fogless shower mirror was what he wanted, and that is what he got. Or did he? The truth is, that fogless mirror fogged up along with the rest of glass in the bathroom when he … [Read more...]
Contest Closed – Congratulations, Kimberly!In the beginning of August, I posted a review of my favorite new skin care products by Annemarie Börlind. I’ve been using them every day and am very happy with the results. Shortly after , the company contacted me about featuring their line of scented body products. I hadn’t even noticed them on the site the first time around. If you didn’t catch my earlier review, let me tell you a little bit about Annemarie Börlind. … [Read more...]
