Tree Hut Tropical Mango Body Scrub Review and Giveaway!




Have you you ever found something that smelled sooooo good you just wanted to rub it all over your body? I sure did when I received a review for Tree Hut's Tropical Mango Shea Sugar Body Scrub. It literally smells so delicious I felt like I could eat it, but I'm pretty sure that's not what it's meant for. With decadent ingredients like sugar, mango, shea butter, safflower, evening primrose, almond oil, avocado, macadamia nut, orange extract, and jojoba; I couldn't resist it! The click here. If you feel lucky you can enter to win your own bottle of Tree Hut's Tropical Mango Body Scrub right here on Bloggity Blog all you need to do is complete the easy entry. The rest of the entries are optional do one or all of them that's up to you!
instructions say to use in the bath or shower, but I wanted to make sure it didn't just wash down the drain right away, I also never use sugar products in my private areas because sugar can cause bacterial infections.  I wet my skin with a washcloth and slathered on a liberal amount of my Tree Hut Shea Sugar Body Scrub. I'm always on the lookout for a good body scrub, in the past exfoliating body washes I tried have disappointed  me. They have those little beads that don't dissolve and are forever  clogging my shower drain and I don't feel clean and scrubbed like I think I should. I even tried making my own sugar based body scrub once, only to have the sugar instantly dissolve and cover me in a sticky, unsavory goo. I'm happy to say Tree Hut excelled far beyond my expectations, leaving my skin uber soft, I have rough skin on my upper arms and the sugar scrub really made a difference there. Also, it did NOT clog my drain and left me smelling ambrosial. I'd definitively use it again! Needless to say mom isn't getting this one back! I'm also pleased to note that Tree Hut products are paraben free and has no formaldehyde donors and is made in the USA! I always try to be careful about the products I use so knowing that Tree Hut goes further to create a healthier product I feel safer using their products.

Teas' Tea, Just In Time For Springtime Thirst Quenching! Review and Giveaway!



" Teas' Tea"  is all natural.  It is named after the Japanese expression Ocha no Naka No Ocha, which means “The Tea of ALL Teas!”  Ito En, "Teas' Teas" parent company has been an industry leader in unsweetened tea for over 20 years. So you can imagine how excited I have been to be able to work with "Tea's Tea", and each time being able to try new and exciting flavors. My first review for Ito En was amazing. I love this company and all the amazing things they do. The haiku poems on each bottle are endearing and clever. Some of "Teas' Tea" flavors are very different from what I am used to, like some of the new flavors I was able to try. The Unsweetened Mint Green Tea(a blend of green tea and peppermint) has a very strong, earthy flavor with delicate after notes of refreshing mint. The plain Unsweetened Green Tea  also has a musky, earthy flavor that left a long lasting pleasant flavor in my mouth. My favorite one was the Unsweetened Rose Green Tea. The naturally sweet, perfumed rose petals used in this tea are absolutely decadent with none of the bitterness of the other two. It's soothing, silky flavor reminds me of chocolate. To be totally honest I added a tablespoon of honey to the bottles after initial tasting. I really didn't care for these teas in their unsweetened state. However after I added the honey, I liked them much better.  I would recommend trying any of the "Tea's Tea" flavors. 

I love Ito En and how environmentally conscious they are. I love how aware they are of our earth   and how they try to reduce it’s carbon footprint on it. They have been recognized for their recycling tea leaf program. ITO EN has been awarded the Grand Prize by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Japan and the Environment Minister’s Prize for developing eco-friendly products made from used tea leaves. A variety of products ranging from vending machines and public benches have also been a part of the company’s recycling CSR activities. In fact Ito En redesigned their bottles so they are the lightest bottle in the ready-to-drink industry, weighing in at only 18.7 grams. I love the fact that the bottles are so light yet still sturdy! Plus the smaller plastic bottles makes shipping more economical over glass which saves fuel... now that's what I call green! "Teas' Tea" wraps their bottles completely, which restricts exposure to light. This reduces oxidation and preserves the antioxidants in the teas. Doing this keeps the tea fresh and potent.  "Teas' Tea" wants you to to try their unsweetened tea and see for yourself how great they taste so they are giving one of my fans their own sample of these three great teas. To get them all you need to do is enter the easy entries on the rafflecopter form below. If you can't wait to see if you are the lucky winner to try them, "Teas' Tea" can be purchased on the Ito En website, you can also find them nationwide in leading natural and mainstream markets for about $1.99 per bottle. Ito En has conveniently provided a store locator https://www.itoen.com/store-locator.

All Natural Ginger Tummy Drops Review and Giveaway!





Having an upset tummy is something we all experience though our lives. To me throwing up is the single most upsetting event I have ever had to endure. When I was pregnant, and then later after I was diagnosed and treated for leukemia, I threw up daily. Sometimes several times a day. What if there was a totally homeopathic(all natural) product I could have taken to offer me relief? I would have taken anything to prevent my nausea. Imagine my excitement to be able to try Tummy Drops which are gluten free lozenges (they look like cough drops) that are made from brown rice syrup and peppermint or ginger. My immune system is still really weak, so when I was briefly exposed to the horrible flu that was being passed around this winter, I fell ill. It took me more then two months to get better, even though I was taking two different antibiotics. When my samples arrived I was still experiencing nausea associated with the flu. Tummy Drops are really easy to use, I sucked on them when I started to feel a little queasy until it was completely gone. I followed the directions taking no more then 8 a day. I tried the peppermint first. I really liked the flavor and noticed a marked improvement in my tummy. In fact, I did not throw up once after I started taking them. I sometimes still felt queasy, but the drops settled my tummy to the point where it didn't get worse for me. The peppermint and ginger are both really flavorful, although the ginger are slightly spicy.
I like spicy foods so the heat didn't bother me. However, my husband is a light weight and could not tolerate the ginger Tummy Drops.  I am not a medical professional and can not give you medical advice. Anyone under a doctor's care ( pregnancy, cancer treatments, stomach flu ect) should ask their physician if it's okay to use Tummy Drops. However, if you over eat or have one too many cookies I imagine Tummy Drops would work perfectly for you. They are conveniently small and totally portable, so it would be easy to have them in your handbag or pocket when you are out and about. I am thrilled to have my Tummy Drops and will keep them in my medicine cabinet from now on. I am privileged to be able to offer one of my readers a sample pack of one ginger and one peppermint Tummy Drops! To enter all you need to do is the easy entry on the Rafflecopter form below.\

Introducing Healthing, Lysol... Why I never Leave Home without it!


Have you heard of the term "Healthing" yet? It's not a new concept. Keeping your family clean and safe from germs is the number one priority for parents everywhere. Lysol is committed to offering you the tools you need to offer your family the best environment for your family, even if you are away from home. When I am travelling, I always have a small can of Lysol disinfectant spray in my purse or suitcase. If I'm flying, I use Lysol disinfectant wipes. I had always used Lysol to spray down the kids toys, because well... kids are nasty little goobers sometimes. Once a month I always washed them and then followed up with a spritz of Lysol, because it kills up to 99.9% of germs!

  It's because of Lysol's power to protect and kill those germs, that I started to cart it around with me.  Giuliana Rancic has partnered with Lysol to work with YMCA's across the country. Not only is she currently visiting YMCA's in select markets across the country, she is demonstrating how "Healthing" works.  LYSOL will not only provide people who attend the workshops with valuable information about their products, but they will give them  proven steps to practice improved hygiene habits in their own home. Lysol, and Guliana are dedicated to providing these acts in a fun way, so your kids will really enjoy learning how to be healthy and safe from germs. LYSOL will also provide educational information and disinfecting products to the local YMCAs, along with the donation of a one-year membership to a deserving family. You can participate in Lysol's Healthing initiative by visiting their website:http://www.lysol.com/healthing, Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/Lysol?ref=ts&fref=ts or Lysol's Healthing guidebookhttp://www.lysol.com/healthing/what-is-healthing
  When I was diagnosed with Leukemia, my immune system was non-existent. Being out in public was actually hazardous to me. If I was exposed to the flu or a simple cold meant I could die.
I actually spent time in the hospital after my sister and her kids ( who had colds) came to see me.
When that happened, I realized how important it was to keep everything as clean as possible. So think of all  those wonderful public bathrooms, ill cleaned hotel rooms, even public seats on bus' or airplanes. I had to be very careful. Lysol became my best friend. I carry a small makeup bag and in it has a supply of toilet seat covers, toilet paper and Lysol. When I have to visit the ladies room no matter how clean it looks I use my supplies. "Healthing" is not being paranoid, it's being smart and careful. At home I spray the beds when I change sheets, counter tops, toilets and even my bathroom and kitchen floors after I mop. I also use my Lysol spray on the dogs beds and their favorite rugs. If I deep clean I even use it on my blinds, sofa and easy chairs. These are the places I want to make sure are at their cleanest, and thanks to Lysol I can rest easy knowing my home is protected.

Brother's P-Touch, Helping Me Find My Together Side.

                                    
                                                                         

  Sometimes when I think of my life my mind goes to the certain song lyrics like "When I was young I was invincible"... I mean I could do it all, go to school, work, exercise, be a YFC counselor, a Girl Scout Leader, go to church and be a Sunday School Teacher. I baby sat, went on dates, did my housework, laundry, shopping and on top of all that I was organized. I can clearly remember going to my girlfriends house seeing her piles of unopened mail, baskets of unfolded laundry along with assorted other clutter and wondered why couldn't she keep up... I mean I did. THEN, I got married and had kids,
things got harder to keep up with. Working and taking care of my home and family got tough.  Slowly over the years my house became like my friend's. Last year I made a resolution to re-claim my life and home. My Brother P-Touch has been essential in my life, I can't believe how easy it is to use, and it's so durable. I can change the color of the tape and font, and I can even customize the font and it's size. All I did was turn it on, choose the font type to what I wanted on my label and hit print. I learned that when making several labels I could save tape by simply placing a space between the words and cutting them apart myself. I have even used these labels in my photo album. The tape is in
cartridge form so you can change colors at any time. I have to say that the refills were pretty pricey, so I won't let the kids take it and go nuts labeling all their stuff.
I wish I had taken pictures of my messes before I started. On my desk I could never find anything, as a blogger I get lots of things to try out and sometimes I loose the essentials in the mix, so I did a quick and inexpensive fix. I found a 3 drawer box which fits perfectly under my desk shelf. I put labels on the drawers so now there is no confusion. I even stuck a "Keep Out!" warning on there... let's see if it works! My next project was my spices in my kitchen. I have been stressing out about how cluttered and messy they were. When I cook it's always a challenge to find what I'm looking for, and if I send my Mr. to look he often comes back empty handed. So when I found a like new Tupperware spice rack at a second hand store I knew this would be my answer. Together with my P-Touch we organized and cleaned up those bad boys and no one will ever know how disorganized I can be in the kitchen! The final project I want to tell you about today is my husbands work area... what a mess. I have't finished it yet but I got a great start...well I kind of fell into it (literally) I tripped and knocked over his nuts, bolts and nail drawers. What a mess.... I scooped them all up and had to re-sort them. Then, because my husband often sends one of us to go fetch a 3/4 inch wood screw( what's that right?), I had him sit down and tell me what these things were called so from now on we can pull the right drawer quickly and efficiently. The next step is going to be labeling his tool drawers.. more on that for my next post! Over all I am very pleased to have the P-Touch label maker by Brother. It's easy to use, and portable because it can run on batteries or you can purchase a cord to plug it into the wall (I was sort of disappointed it did not automatically come with one). I love that mine is a desk top model. It was the one I was hoping they would send me to review. It's stylish and I love that I can just type in what I want using both hands. The hand held one is also great though because everything  is right there and it is so compact that it can fit in your drawer, craft or tool box! With spring here and summer just around the corner it's time to de-clutter and get it together with a P-Touch by Brother. Brother is so committed in helping get us all organized they are posting useful tips and topics so be sure to friend them on Facebook  for more ways you can find your inner clean!

Tree Hut Sugar Body Scrub Review


Tree Hut was gracious enough to grant us another review for their utterly hedonistic Olive and Shea Sugar Body Scrub, this time in Lavender and Chamomile scent. Instead of the energizing, super-fruity Tropical Mango; this is an uplifting, mellow version of the same intensive exfoliant. This is a great one to use if you like to shower at the end of the day, on account of it's wonderfully relaxing aroma therapy. I plan on buying a manlier-smelling sample and convincing my husband to use it to, the lavender is mine! They also have a really decadent Almond and Honey series that I really hope to get for my upcoming anniversary. Hahaha!

Tree Hut is an American company with all products made in the United States, and they never conduct animal testing with any of their products! I love how I can read to ingredients list and NOT have to use Wikipedia to look up the chemicals to find out what they really are. Shea butter, olive oil, safflower oil, evening primrose oil, avocado, macadamia nut oil, orange oil, and of course lavender and chamomile oil; all meticulously balanced to nourish and pamper your skin with natural ingredients. All Tree Hut products are paraben free, which is excellent since paraben is just a fancy word for petruleum, and is used in many moisturizing products with sneaky words like "mineral oil". Parabens are manufactured with chemicals known to be carcinogens and are in general pretty icky for your skin. Tree Hut is also DMDM free (I had to look this one up), DMDM is a type of preservative used in skincare products and shampoos that releases formaldehyde over time.  Talk about a bad hair day. Like I said before, I've tried making my own sugar scrub , and it just turned into a nasty slurry on my skin. I don't know what magic Tree Hut has going on, but their products always leave me feeling wonderfully soft and it never clogs my drains. The Tree Hut website has some great information about skincare and how important it is to exfoliate for beautiful, healthy skin.
Tree Hut also has body washes, lotions and body butter in corresponding scents (EEEE!).
 Tree Hut is giving one of my fans their own bottle of Lavender Chamomile Shea Butter Sugar Scrub! Sorry for anybody in Canada or Mexico, applicants for the giveaway are only eligible through the U.S. on account of shipping costs. Any entries will automatically place you on the Tree Hut email newsletter. The Olive & Shea line is available at Target!

Tackling The Little And Big Stuff With My P-Touch By Brother

 

  Life gets in the way in so many ways. If you are like me it's hard to keep it all together when everything happens at once. Plus, if you have a family like mine that's always on the go, it seems things are always getting dropped and left where they fall to be picked up by you.I know I need all the help I can get, my P-Touch answered my S.O.S., finally I feel like I can get it all together again. That's why I am very happy to have my P-Touch by Brother. I used to have one of those old label makers that had the little dial and it was okay, but the labels were a little tacky and had the bad habit of falling off or snagging on things because they stuck out.  I love my P-Touch so much more, it's compact, I can leave it on my desk and it looks sleek and modern and I have it right there all the time. It can be portable and run on batteries or I can plug it in with the cord I purchased for it (it did not come with the adapter). I love how clean and neat the labels are and how easy and fun it is to use. I  found myself organizing everything! I started out organizing my desk area.
I used my P-Touch on my file folders and drawers. I then moved to the kitchen and cleaned up  my spices. I had the lets get it together bug, so I moved on to my husbands nuts, bolts and screws...well, that was sort of by an accident I caused. Still,  I liked how efficient that made his work area so I continued on to his tool box. I have to say he wasn't happy I touched his stuff, however he is loving the results. I was so inspired with my clean up efforts I moved on to my craft supplies and labeled all my drawers. Now I can instantly find all the things I need without the frustration and search efforts. I have a confession I am a grandmother want to be. I want to get my hands on a little child that I can pamper and send home badly. So bad that when my daughter married I started to collect baby things. Because of the wide variety of items I labeled all the boxes. This summer our big job is to get my back yard beautiful again. In doing so I am going to organize and build a work area in the garage for the old man... I am moving him out of my space into a man cave... As we build, my P-Touch is going to be by my side so when the Mr. doesn't put it away I will know right where it goes. There is nothing so beautiful to this woman's heart as a neat, clean and organized work space. The tasks you can complete are limitless. Like using it to title your recipe cards, label your kids boxes as they move to college, store things, label canisters and containers in your kitchen. Even list items in your cupboards. My P-Touch is so important to me and this is why I won't ever be with out it again.

Try New Arm & Hammer Sensitive Toothpaste Get Your Sample While They Last!

tab2-sensitive-toothpasteI am delighted to tell you about Arm & Hammer's new sensitive toothpaste from the makers of Orajel. I know I have talked about my cancer and the after affects of chemotherapy a lot. That's because it really took it's toll on me. I have not had a pain free day in over 9 years. Even my teeth hurt, my hematologist said I probably wouldn't have any teeth left when I was through with treatment. While I did loose some teeth I kept more then I lost. However, age and chemo left them sensitive and achy. In fact they hurt so badly when I ate or drank anything, I was convinced I had a mouth full of rotting teeth. I was worried about how to pay for all the fillings that would be in store for me when I went to the dentist.  When I did finally go to the dentist I was delighted to discover I did not have one cavity. I just had overly sensitive teeth. My dentist suggested I try a toothpaste designed to help make my mouth less sensitive. She said that my problem was a combination of age and after affects of chemotherapy. sensitivity-oral-care-tab2-image1Imagine my delight when I was given the opportunity to try out Arm & Hammer's Sensitive toothpaste. I mean this opportunity came up for me just after my dental visit. When the toothpaste arrived I saw it was from the makers of Orajel. That made me a little nervous. I was afraid that all it was going to do was numb my mouth and I would not feel anything. I am happy to tell you that it doesn't do that. In fact, I had a really sensitivity-oral-care-tab2-image2great experience with Arm & Hammer's Sensitive toothpaste. I am not going to tell you that I noticed a dramatic overnight change, it didn't work that way. What did happen was one day I realized I did not have any pain in my mouth anymore. I could eat and drink cold or hot things without them bothering me. Sweet foods and drinks don't bother me anymore either. In my book this means that it works. I truly believe that some of my issues stem from things like eating lemons with salted plums when I was young.  The salt and acid from the lemon ate away at my enamel, which can cause teeth to be sensitive. Combine that with chemo and age, and I was all set to have these issues. I am delighted that I won't go through the rest of my life with my teeth hurting.

I am not a medical professional, all opinions are my own, if you are having issues with your teeth make sure you consult your dentist especially if you try this product and it does not work for you.

Baby Magic No-Rinse Wash, The Convenience of A Bath When You're On The Go!

bm As parents, we have all had those holy moly moments in life, either with the kids or other messes, where we really could use a sink and wash cloth. You know those moments where that baby wipe is just not going to do the job properly? I'm 52 years old zzzzzzzzzbabymagicWash. I like it for a lot of reasons. One is that it has that Baby Magic scent that is very familiar. It is tear free, hypoallergenic, has no dyes and is a nice portable size.When I tried the no rinse solution I had no expectations other then it being Baby Magic, which is a brand I know and trust. The solution dispenses in a nice fluffy foam, and all I did was rub it on then wipe it dry with a dry wash cloth. There wasn't any mess to it and I had nothing to throw away. It left me feeling refreshed and clean. When using with small children or infants it gives them that pleasant baby freshly washed scent. A big plus for me is that it's pH balanced and there is no alcohol in it, like some of the other on the go products, so it will not sting your child if they have a scratch or a sore somewhere. In recent years I have found that buying pH balanced products works better with my body's natural chemistry, so that I stay fresh longer! I like this product so much I keep a bottle in my bag for on the go. There is also one on my night stand, in my camper, and in my glove box. I love that it won't dry out on me like my wipes do sometimes. So why do I trust Baby Magic brand so much that I would do so many reviews for their products? Actually, I have several reasons why I love and trust the Baby Magic name. First, it's made right herein the U.S.A. so I know that there are no short cuts and weird ingredients. It's cruelty free, which means they don't test on animals. I do not endorse any company that I know tests on animals. Baby Magic has been around since the 1950's, so they have always been a part of my life. Baby Magic doesn't use Phthalate, Paraben, DMDM, 1,4-dioxane or quaternium in any of their products or processes. Without going into a full blown chemistry lesson I will tell you a little about why it's a good thing they aren't used. Phthalates are plasticizes used to soften vinyl. Some companies use them to make the fragrances last longer. (*1)., Parabens are used to prevent microbe growth in cosmetics. It is thought that parabens can be a cause of breast cancer. (*2) . DMDM is a preservative that releases formaldehyde (*3) . 1,4-dioxane is a solvent that is known to cause cancer in lab animals, (*4) and quaternium is a preservative that also releases formaldehyde.
