Naturally Fresh Deodorant Crystal Review

Posted on by

When it comes to products I normally choose the one that has natural ingredients and that will give me that satisfying results. I have a very sensitive skin, so I prefer to use products especially for hygienic use that are natural and fragrance free. I was hunting for some deodorant online that will suit me and I found this Naturally Fresh Deodorant Crystal. I went ahead and ordered for a free sample for product review and they sent me Fragrance Free Roll-ons Deodorant, Fragrance Free Deodorant Spray Mist and MoistStic Natural Lip Protection. I tried it and it feels really fresh unlike any other deodorant I used. What’s great about this is that I didn’t have any chemical reaction to my skin that because the ingredients of it are natural. With these products, we don’t have to worry about parabens, propylene glycol, phthalates or any harmful aluminum.

These products are #1 Doctor recommended because it’ll help us protect from any underarm odors for 24 hours, it’s hypoallergenic, it won’t clog pores nor stain clothes and it support breast cancer awareness and not only that, these are recyclables too, which is amazing.

Milk Unleashed review

Posted on by

Every kid should drink at least 3 glasses of milk everyday. That’s what my children’s pediatrician said. My children loves milk especially when it’s flavored like chocolate milk. Well, who wouldn’t love it anyway? I’m sure adults loves milk as well. But it will make a difference if the milk we introduced to our family is organic. It may not be the cheapest milk but for sure we will all get the right nutrients and vitamins from these kinds of milk. As you can see in the picture below, my children were indulging the goodness of Milk Unleashed. They are so good that my husband and I had some too. As a matter of fact, my children won’t even stop opening our refrigerator for it.

I was so fortunate that I was able to get approved for Milk Unleashed product review. They sent me 5 different kinds of milk and all of them were delicious. We love it not only from its tastiness but it does not require to be refrigerated up to 7 to 10 days, which is really cool. I can take it anywhere on the go, without having to worry about spoiling it. Shelf safe milk is also another term for this milk. You should try it for your young ones. They can get good benefits from this milk, health wise. They have Twitter, you can follow them for more updates and exciting news.

Review; SMARTSHIELD sun protection

Posted on by

I have a very fair skin complexion and I normally don’t get sunburn even if I stayed under the sun too long. However, my husband and my kids, they have lighter skin color and as much as I can remember, I always have to put sunscreen protection on them whenever we go outdoor. We are the type of family who loves doing outdoor fun family activities. We love to go theme parks regardless of the season, we have annual membership of the following; Disneyland, Universal Studios Hollywood and San Diego Zoo including the Safari Wild Animal Park. We take our kids to these parks a lot of times especially weekends and during vacation. This summer it was so hot, I bought two different kinds of sunblock protection, a spray and a cream. These are very helpful especially to my husband who is a Caucasian and has a very sensitive skin. He gets sunburn easily. We planned on going to Universal Studios Hollywood in a few weeks along with our very close friend, unfortunately, the weatherman gave weeks of forecast and on that day that we will be heading to LA would be HOT and humid. It’s so timely because the SMARTSHIELD serious sun protection with SPF 30+ Company gave me a sample of their product. I could surely use this for my family. It’s non-greasy, water resistant, it has Aloe and Vitamins A, C, & E in it which is the perfect sunscreen. By the way, this is eco-friendly and the bottle can be recycled. Cool huh?

Follow them on Facebook for new products…

I know most of my visitors here have noticed that I have been posting about products that are eco-friendly and environmental friendly, that’s because I wanted to at least help our Mother Nature by using products that aren’t causing any damage to our ecosystem. Their bottles are actually 100% made from plant, I can surely put it in my recyclable bin.

Anyway, I got hooked into pitching advertisers for product reviews and a few of the items I just recently received are the cleaning products from ECOVER United States (Powered by Nature) Company. They sent me these Natural Laundry Bleach and Natural Laundry Liquid Lessive Liquide. They even sent me a nice tote/reusable bag. Thank you so much. I was anxious to use it. I did my laundry the other day and I used the laundry liquid and boy it works like a charm, my laundry smells fresh. I put I cap of liquid soup for a medium loads.

What I love about this product is that, it is plant-based formulation and is gentle on clothes. No optical brighteners, biodegradable, suitable for septic tanks and not tested on animals. You friends need to try this and see it for yourself.

SodaStream USA Reviews

Posted on by

Who loves SODA; please raise your right or left hand? I bet you are raising them both, who knows you also raise your feet? LOL! Just kidding. I have something interesting to tell you friends; I was watching TV when the commercial about SodaStream USA came on. I was so curious and I early would want to try it. My family is soda freak. Every meal we have, we always have a glass of soda, and I feel bad because I know that I have to limit my children from drinking it but we just can’t help it. Since I saw SodaStream commercial, I went to search for it online. I searched for store locations where I can buy it, but before I did that, I send email to the SodaStream company website and asked them if they will let me review their product, which undoubtedly they said YES. I was thrilled to hear them say that they’ll be able to help me with my review.

3 weeks later, I got someone knocking on my door and it was a package from sodasteam. Yahooo! I told my husband about it and he was excited to try it too. My husband set it up and we tried the Cola (naturally flavored Soda mix) and had my son a first sip. As soon as he tried it he said, “it taste pepsi”, then husband, daughter and I had tried it too. Boy! My son was right. It taste exactly like pepsi. It was really cool. Now we don’t have to buy soda because we have these eco-friendly soda alternatives. They gave us 8 different flavors and we can’t wait to try them all. I think this is better than a regular soda because it’s more natural than any regular soda out there.

 Check and follow them on Facebook and Twitter!

One bottle of Cola can make 5 servings or 6 liters. It’s so easy to make soda, check the following process below;

  1. Fill bottle with very cold water to just below water line and carbonate to 6 buzzes
  2. Fill measuring cap with soda mix
  3. Pour very slowly into tilted bottle, close bottle and shake gently
  4. Wash measuring cap after using
  5. ENJOY the drinks with our loved ones hehehehhe.

Review; Rockin’ Green Laundry Detergent

Posted on by

I’ve seen quite a few friends using eco-friendly cleaning products and they got me curious. I thought it’s about time to help our environment by using products that are environmental-friendly. Some of my friends were using this Rockin’ Green Laundry Detergent and they got me curious and so I went ahead and search it online. I requested for a few samples, which indeed they sent me, and I received it yesterday. I could not wait and try it. It was timely because I have some loads that need to be done.

I don’t have children that wear cloth diapers anymore, I did laundry and as soon as I opened the pack, I savor the powder watermelon’s smell before I poured it in the machine. The instruction for the WASH was “add the detergent, and do a hot wash, which I did. Use 2-3 tbsp per load and I did just so. I can tell the difference between these products to any regular laundry soap. Sure enough my clothes looks cleaner than ever. Thanks to Green Laundry Detergent for giving me the opportunity to try your products.

Review: ChopSaver Lip Balm

Posted on by

We all have crackly lips during winter season but for some reason, my children specifically my first grader son; he seemed to get cracked lips more than we do. I don’t know why but he has it all year long. I usually give him lip balm or petroleum jelly to apply on his lips. If I won’t remind him to put it on, he’ll suffer from it and eventually I’ll see his lips bleeds. He never goes to school without applying lip balm. As I was searching for lip balm that has natural ingredients in it, I came across with this lip balm called ChopSaver.

Their products are originally combined with the healing properties of hers such as arnica, calendula, comfrey and white willow with nature’s finest oils and moisturizer. The lip balm also soothes lips because of the shea butter, manga butter, avocado oil, apricot oil, grapeseed oil, aloe, Vitamins E and light citrus fragrance that completes the ingredients. And besides, these are SPF, which is very safe for outdoor use. By the way, Doctors like Dentist and Dermatologists recommended many to use this kind of lip balm. My son actually likes it because according to him it’s tasteless and the fragrance is not strong. If you are looking for lip balm that are natural in formula, I recommend you to try ChopSaver SPF 15.

Reusable Snack bag review

Posted on by

My daughter and I walked to school and I always bring some food with me like sandwich, fruits, crackers or any bread that we can eat while walking. I normally put our snacks inside a plastic bag along with a water jug. Yesterday, I am so happy when my husband told me that I have a package. I opened it and I saw it was from SnackTAXI Company; they gave me this cute snack reusable bag. Boy, am I glad to have this. I can now put our on-the-go snacks in it, goodbye plastic bags. I love to help saving our Mother Earth and if it means getting rid of the plastic bags and starts using products that are environmental friendly, so be it.

What’s good about this snack bag is that, its machine washable, free of lead, phthalates, and BPA. Parent like me would want something that is safe for our children and this snack bag is perfect and just what I need. Thanks SnackTAXI for being so creative and sharing us your innovative product.

Dump Truck review

Posted on by

I was so thrilled when the BuyGreen website gave me the opportunity to review one of their products, a toy. They gave me this super eco-design Dump Truck for my son. It was a timely surprise for my son because he is doing so well in school.

When the package was delivered, I waited until my first grader arrives from school so he can open it himself. I can tell that he was so excited and anxiously awaiting to see what’s inside. As soon as he opened it, he saw this huge dump truck and he was giggled. You can tell from the look of his face.

I was so amazed at this toy because it’s really strong and sturdy, even a little boy can get on it without having to worry of breaking it apart, that’s how strong this truck is. The quality is excellent. Their Green toys are recyclable and believe it or not, their toys were made from the recycled milk containers that we drink from every day. You really get your money’s worth from this toy because it’s durable and it’ll surely last for years unlike any other regular toys that break easily. Rest assured that their toy won’t harm my child for it is eco-friendly and has no metal axles in it.

By the way, this toy is approved and tested by the following;

  • Consumer Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA)
  • Consumer Products Safety Standard Specification, ASTM F963
  • California Prop. 65 restrictions on lead & cadmium
  • FDA regulations for food contact
  • Voluntary testing for no BPA (Bisphenol-A)
  • International standards EN71 and ISO 8124
