mommy's reviews

I often love to highlight beauty and skin care products here on my blog and have been on the search for some really great and organic beauty companies to feature. When it comes to my skin (as I have said numerous times before) I am choosy as to what I use on it. Our skin really takes a beating...especially when exposed to the weather and indoor elements such as water, heat, cleaners and soaps . Have you noticed that most soaps today...even though they smell great...contain LOADS of chemicals and additives? I have, and honestly-it's scary. Think about it...your skin is like a giant sponge; what goes ON gets absorbed IN. So I think it is important to use only those products that will put goodness in...rather than chemicals. The other day I was searching the Internet for organic kitchen products . Specifically, I was looking for bamboo products, towels, dishes, etc. However, I was NOT prepared to find what I did! Prem Soaps is a little company nestled in Brooklyn, NY that...

As many of you know, I gave birth to a gorgeous baby girl back in July. I am in shock at how much time has passed since her arrival...she is almost 19 weeks old already!!! She is my fourth baby and it always amazes me how each baby is so different. All of my babies are pretty consistent in at least two areas...they all loved bath time and they all HATE the car seat. Ha! I have yet to have a baby who doesn't like bath time and I have to admit, I love giving them baths. I still do even though they are older. Having a new baby in the house is so much fun and I find that bath time is such a great time to bond and relax both you and the baby. I have heard of Earth Mama Angel Baby products in the past but had never used them. It isn't that I didn't like them, I just never had the opportunity to try them and for me, that is helpful. Many, many moms today are concerned about the ingredients in products that they use with their babies. Whether it be diapers, wipes, formula, lo...

It is hard to believe that we are so close to the holidays now...seems like I was just sitting here wishing for cooler temperatures as I dripped with sweat. No central air in our home this summer was pretty brutal and quite challenging at times however, it just gives me more to look forward to next summer when we have central air installed...YAY!  With the holidays right around the corner, I think every woman wants her skin to look its best and I am definitely one of those women! The hot summer sun and dry winds can do a number on one's skin and it is no wonder our faces become so dry. Getting ready for the holiday season is so much fun and this month, you can get your skin looking soft , supple and totally refreshed. “Beautiful” is a revolutionary new product from Trusted Health Products and it is formulated especially for women's skin. This skin care product that comes in a formula for application in the morning and evening uses fruit, nut and plant extracts to "f...

I am a huge fan of perfume...I wear it every day whether I am going out or staying it. It just helps me to feel good and I also love smelling nice. My daughter loves to come in my room in the morning and get a spritz of perfume as well so she is going to be a perfume girly too. Love that. So, when it comes to perfume I can be kind of picky...I don't care for really strong scents and tend to go for more floral fragrances rather than musky fragrances. The perfumes I love the best are the ones that turn my hubby's head. Ha ha...those are the best kinds! :) Recently, I was introduced to a perfume company that makes 100% natural, vegan, gluten-free and cruelty-free perfumes and they also are a company with a very important, world-minded mission. Pour le Monde means "For The World" and that is the goal of Pour le Monde ...they create fine fragrances that spotlight some of the world's most important charities. Here is a bit more about this company, founded by Wendi...

Well, if you have been a follower of this blog for any length of time then you will notice that I am a fan of natural products. Whether it be natural cleaning products, natural baby products or natural beauty products, I pretty much try to keep you (my lovely readers) up to speed on what I have discovered. I am totally in love with so many different types of natural products, I just can't help but share these fantastic finds with all of you.

  I can't think of a better stocking stuffer than lip balm. It is so compact and thin...fits in any stocking perfectly. My one sister LOVES getting lip balm any time of the year and I have been getting her lip balms for the past several years. She is in the insurance industry and is constantly meeting with clients. This means that she is in and out of the weather, and her lips get very dry. She needs her lips to feel moisturized and also, they need to look nice. My sister does not wear makeup so lip balms are perfect for her.  Today, I am going to introduce you to a company that makes organic body care products that are good for you and for your skin. Badger Balm is family owned and operated and is located in Gilsum, New Hampshire.  Some of the products they make are Massage Oils, Sleep Balms, Soaps and much more! Here is a bit more about this company... Badger is a small, family-owned & family-friendly company nestled on the banks of the Ashuelot R...
