Sun Turtle Naturals

Sun Turtle Naturals is a natural and organic bath and body company. I was sent 3 bars of soap for review and I will go over each one.

It came packaged very nicely and I could smell them while they were inside the package. My husband even commented that something inside smelled awesome.

The first bar that I will tell you about was my favorite and it is the Agave Clove soap which retails for $5.50 for the bar.

We recommend Agave Clove soap for those who experience dry skin. Most commercial soaps contain synthetic chemicals, colorants, preservatives and even beef tallow that can affect sensitive skin. Sun Turtle natural bar soaps are made from nature itself and provide a gentle, safe clean.
Each bar of agave clove handmade natural soap comes packaged in a label made with 100% post-consumer recycled paper.
Agave Clove soap contains the following ingredients: Saponified oils of olive, coconut, palm, avocado and shea butter, essential oils of pennyroyal clove and nutmeg, and agave nectar.

Next is their Rosemary Sage soap which retails for $5.50

Rosemary Sage handmade natural soap is particularly good at melting away stress after a long and hectic day, and discerning customers will appreciate how soft and refreshed their skin feels after getting out of the shower or bath.
Each bar of Rosemary Sage handmade natural soap comes packaged in a label made with 100% post-consumer recycled paper.
Rosemary Sage soap contains the following ingredients: Saponified oils of olive, coconut, palm, avocado and shea butter, essential oils of rosemary and clary sage, and sage.


Lastly is their Organic Orange Patchouli which retails for $6.50.

This luxurious soap is wrapped in botanical paper with banana fiber inclusions, making for a beautiful choice to enjoy a little luxury yourself or as a gift for friends and loved ones. The paper we use is produced with sustainable practices and supports the livelihood of artisans living in villages in northern Thailand. The materials are tree-free, natural, renewable, and use recycled resources. Each bar of Patchouli Orange organic soap is handmade and contains only natural, plant-based ingredients. You will never find artificial colorants, preservatives or harsh chemicals in any of Sun Turtle's products.

These are great and the lather very nice and smell great too. I would recommend this for anyone in your family. My son loved these as well as my husband. I received this item for review purposes. My opinions are honest and I was not paid for this review.

Probar Review & Giveaway US & Canada only

This is a healthy review for the whole family this is coming from Probar. I was sent 14 bars 2 of each flavor to try out. As you’re likely aware, the prevalence of gluten in our food system has received a lot of attention recently. It’s estimated that celiac disease affects 1 out of every 133 people and generally speaking around 18 million Americans have some degree of gluten sensitivity. The culprit is the hard-to-digest protein called gluten, that even a healthy intestine can not completely break down. For those with celiac disease, the undigested gluten essentially causes the body’s immune system to lash out at itself, leading to malabsorption, bloating and diarrhea — the classic gastrointestinal symptoms — but also, at times, joint pain, skin rashes and other problems.

Stomp hungry cravings on-the-go and fuel your body an organic and vegan-friendly Probar Fruition bar. Probar packed this super-food bar with unprocessed dates, oats, and cashews to create a robust snack that feeds your body with a wealth of nutrients and two full servings of fruit. Antioxidant and omega-rich chia seeds round out the healthy mix and keep you feeling full of energy from dawn until dusk.

Tender Bottoms Wipes Review

This is a etsy store review from Tender Bottoms. Info about the owner:

My name is Kadi and I've been married to my hubby for almost seven years. We have two children, our daughter is 3 1/2 and our son is almost 16 months old. I'm a MSAHM. I work around 15 hours a week as the Food service Director for our church.

I've been using cloth wipes and my Homemade detergent for almost a year, and wish I had been using them all along. Who would have thought that using cloth wipes could save us over $350 a year and that making my own detergent would only cost us $30 for a 6 month supply! I was spending $20 a month! I love to tell everyone that they are crazy for buying disposable wipes with the intention of just throwing them away. Or spending so much money for all the extra chemicals in their laundry detergent plus a liquid bottle of detergent that is 2/3 water!

I love crafting and I try to make things that are useful to my everyday life and I try and sell the same types of crafts. I love hand quilting and hand embroidery and I get to do a lot of those for people that I know locally.

Other than that I'm just your average SAHMommy who is always busy at home and trying to help provide for our family on ways that don't cost us valuable time with our kids (or daycare costs, lol)

I was sent her 2 ply and 1 ply baby wipes.

They came cutely packaged and it came with recipe's on how to make your own wipe solution. She sent me some boy and girly wipes.

The are made from 100% Cotton Flannel and are 2 ply and have rounded serged edges and are 8 inch squares.
They will come to you wrapped in a cute ribbon (great for if it's going to be a shower gift) and you will also get the "Tender Bottoms Card", inside of the card are four recipes for making your own natural washing solutions! These Tender Bottom Wipes are a great eco-friendly option for your family! You can get a 12 for $6.00 30 pack of 2ply for $15.00 or 60 for $30.00. For the 1ply you can get 30 for $10.00

The 2 ply are double sided with the same print and the 1 ply just has 1 size and is also stitched around the edges.
This wipes are also great for:
Napkins
Paper towels
Hand and face washing
TP Replacement

She also makes Burp Rags, Goats milk Laundry detergent and the wipes..

Natural House Moppy Review

This is a review from Natural House.

How Natural House Works

Natural house probiotic cultures are naturally occurring beneficial organisms have been selected from balanced natural ecosystems in nature. These probiotics have maintained life’s subtle balance on earth and they are now helping maintain that same balance in your own home.
The surfaces in your house are like a garden. If you don’t seed with good plants, weeds will grow. You have the same choice with your household surfaces : sanitize for a moment with harsh chemicals leaving your surface open to recontamination or seed with probiotics to continuously weed out the bad micro-organisms. Traditional cleaners “clean” a surface for a moment in time; the second the rag is finished wiping the surface, that surface is almost instantly polluted once again with ambient dust, dirt, and micro-organisms. Natural House probiotics creates mini-ecosystem on a microbial level that produces enzymes which break down odors, dirt, fats, oil, grease, food scraps, waste and toilet paper products on a continuous basis between applications. This creates a natural, clean, balanced environment that is safe for even the most sensitive members of your natural house.
Natural House uses carefully selected non-pathogenic and non-toxic probiotic bacteria combined with natural, plant-based, biodegradable synergistic ingredients to plow through the toughest cleaning problems in your natural house.

The Slanket Review

Most of you that know me know that I love to snuggle on the cough and I always use a blanket. That's why I am excited to introduce you to The Slanket. I was sent their Slanket in the color chocolate which retails for $29.99.

One subzero night in 1998 during my first semester of college I could not escape Maine's winter bite. While watching Late Night with Conan O'Brien I decided I needed to tear a hole in my sleeping bag so I could keep my upper body warm as I channel surfed during the commercial breaks. During Christmas vacation I commissioned the first Slanket to be made by my mother...and it was born.

This is great and it is really warm and nice. Even the husband likes it. It is over sized so it will always cover your feet which I love and for someone over 6 foot it works great for them as well.
