Enjoy Toxic Free Skin Care Products with Root Beauty

If you happen to be on the hunt for a simple and more natural way to care for your skin, then take my advice and check out the beauty care line from Root Beauty. Root Beauty is a homegrown natural, organic skin care business that was created to help us live a less toxic life and was founded in urban Los Angeles.

After realizing that half of the ingredients found in many of the so called "natural" skin care products were unpronounceable, Kristen, the creator of Root Beauty, started researching the healing power of essential oils and the benefits of natural oils (that women have been using around the world for centuries). She started creating her organic, toxic free skin care products for just herself, family and friends and continued this for years, and never once thought about selling them. She just simply wanted to have natural skin care products for herself that were literally free of toxic chemicals.

Now that it's been many years since Kristen created her first organic skin care product, she opened up an amazing online store so that she could share her toxic free beauty products to all of us! Isn't it wonderful?!

You can find her many natural creations at RootBeauty.com - Including products for face, body and even Men!

I had the opportunity to try out their organic deodorant last year - Read my Root Beauty Review to find out how I liked it.

My New Experience with Root Beauty Deodorant - My Review

My Review of Root Beauty Deodorant

If your a natural momma or just someone who enjoys using eco-friendly products, you have to check out Root Beauty.

Root Beauty is an organic skin care line dedicated to quality products that are toxic-free. Their goal is to make sure everyone has happy and healthy skin.

I got the opportunity to try out Root Beauty's natural deodorant a few weeks ago. I have to admit that I wasn't sure how I was going to like the deodorant because I had never used a natural deodorant before.

There's a first time for everything! Right?

When I received my package from Root Beauty I was excited to start trying it out. At first I got confused... like I said I had never used a natural deodorant before so I wasn't expecting it to be in a little jar. It took me a few minutes before I figured out how I was going to apply the deo, with my fingers of course!

Root Beauty Deodorant smells wonderful! I can't quiet place what kind of smell it is but you can tell that it's natural. It just has that natural smell. If you've ever smelt natural products then you'll know what I mean.

I've wore my Root Beauty plenty of times and it works amazingly. I wasn't sure at first because sometimes I sweet more than others and I always worry when I start feeling wetness. But with Root Beauty, I completely forgot to worry! I know how crazy that sounds but I never felt any wetness and I wasn't self-conscious! I'd say that would mean that Root Beauty passed the test and gets

an A from this momma!

My only advice for you is that you keep your Root Beauty Deodorant in a cool place so it don't melt. If it does melt then just put it in a cool place and it will turn into a solid before you know it. (Mine melted a couple times) And I think I'm going to try and apply it with a makeup sponge the next time I wear my Root Beauty. I believe it might work pretty well!

Root Beauty not only sales deodorant, You can also find Body Butter bars, moisturizer, hand cream, make-up remover, lip balm and much more! They even have their own Men's line called Root Men.

You can find all of Root Beauty's Natural Beauty Products on their website.

Check out Root Beauty on Facebook and Twitter as well!

We were honored to be able to review different types of candy from the Organic Candy Factory. The Momma's boys enjoyed everything that was sent their way. We do not get candy to often, but when it is organic candy that is when they do get the treat to enjoy.

We were able to try some organic jelly beans, organic candy canes, organic gummy hearts, organic sprinkled sugar gummy cubs, organic sugar sprinkled fruit sliced gummies, organic sugar sprinkled gummy worms, and organic sprinkled gummy hearts.  The boys loved everything they received.  I must admit too I enjoyed the candy as well.  I loved that it was organic and the flavor of the candy was still amazing. 

The Organic Candy Factory is all gelatin free, gluten free, pesticide free, preservative free, nut free, tree nut free, and vegan.  They also have no artificial colors, flavors nor sweeteners and also only the best organic ingredients!  Another great thing about the company is that they use 100% biodegradable and compostable bags!

Almond and Honey Shea Body Butter And Sugar Scrub Giveaway

I'm surprised to say that I had never heard of Tree Hut until I got the chance to read this review and promote a wonderful giveaway!

How would you like the chance to Win

A Jar of Almond and Honey body butter & Almond and Honey Sugar Scrub

Almond and Honey Shea Body Butter and Sugar Scrub

Guest Post by Frugal in Fort Wayne and Beyond.

I was given the pleasure of choosing a couple of products to review for TreeHut. I was surprised I had never heard of them, because the company that makes this also makes Baby Magic.

Once I got it I was very excited to try it out. First off I love, love, love the smell of Almond! So I chose the Almond Honey Scrub and Almond Honey Body Butter.

Both are made with Certified Organic Shea Butter which is great for repairing skin & moisturizing, anti-aging, promoting elasticity. The Sweet Almond Oil is used to improve complexion and help you retain your natural sheen there are many other benefits to these products but these are the ones that I found most attractive.

I hate a "liquid" lotion, you know the runny ones, it seems like my hands just suck up the moisture and as soon as I put it on, its time for more. Not with this Almond and Honey body butter! I loved the consistency and I only had to apply it again after washing my hands, and did I mention the almond smell, yum!!! Another thing a little bit goes a long way with both of these products.

The Almond and Honey Sugar Scrub left my skin feeling smooth and young again. It was so soft and it felt moisturized. These are really hard things to accomplish due to my super dry skin.

TreeHut has decided to give you the reader one of each! Enter below.

Newmans's Organic Owl Giveaway! *LIVE*

Have you tried Newman's Organic Owl products? I have and the Ginger O's are awesome! My daughters love pretzels and I have to say that the Newman's brand taste the best to me and my family. So when I heard about this giveaway, I had to be a part of it! Read below to read another mom's review of Newman's Organic Owl and the giveaway where you can get your own Newman's products for FREE!

This Review is done by The Momma And Boys

It was like Christmas in this house all over again. The boys faces lite up in joy when they received this box of Newman's Own Organic to review.

There were so many choices to try first and we didn't know where to start. Newman's Organic Owl sent us pretzels, dried apples, dried berry blends, Ginger O's cookies, Mint cookies, different flavors of licorice, chocolates, mints, and popcorn. That isn't even the best part of it, the best part is that they are all organic!

Momma's Boy #3 loved the organic dried berry blends. He was in love with it so much we had a hard time to have him share with us, and when he did share I must admit they were delicious. There was not one thing in that box that the boys and I didn't love.
