Our Review: 

My kids love taking a bath using the bar soap because according to my little man, it smells good. And as a mama, it makes me comfortable to know that the soap is made of raw natural ingredients and are harmless to my kids' gentle skin. 

What We Like About Them?

- The packaging was minimal and there were not a lot of plastic involved except for the one covering the bar, which I also learned that the wrap around the soap is biodegradable. Living up to their promise of using Eco-conscious packaging whenever possible. 

- We like that it is made of Natural Ingredients and Essential Oils, which is safer for our skin. I am for essential Oils and natural ingredients.

- The lotion smells wonderful and it leaves my skin smooth and "naturally" fragrant. 

- Same goes with the soap, it is naturally fragrant and leaves my skin fresh and clean after taking a shower. The smell is not overpowering and to be honest, it is soothing. Of course, it has vanilla and other soothing essential oils in it. 

- The lotion comes in a 4fl oz bottle and it says it is a hand and body lotion, but because of its size, I like to use it as a hand lotion. Perfect to place by the vanity so after washing and drying your hands, you can quickly moisturize your hands using the Naturawl Lotion. I like that it comes in its own bottle and not plastic and is also reusable. 

- The wonderful thing about purchasing Naturawl products is that every Naturawl product purchased means planting a tree through their partnership with the Trees For The Future. It is a company with a great cause. 

What We Don't Like About Them?

- For the soap, it takes a while for it to lather up and it doesn't lather up as much either. Now I know that the bubbles aren't the thing that cleans your skin, but I do like it to really bubble up. It is just a Psychological thing, you know. I am sure you understand what I am talking about. 

- Because it takes a while to lather up, the bar soap doesn't really last long especially if you use it every day. Right now, our bar soap is down to an itty-bitty size. 

- That's it! Those are the only things I can think of that we are not such a fan of. I hope this one works for you! We all have different skin types and preference when it comes to products so even though these worked for us, but for some it might not. Still, it is worth the try especially if you are on a specific or strict regimen when it comes to bath products. 

Would I buy it if I ran out? 
I must admit the price is a bit steep for a SAHM like me, but considering the ingredients they are made of, I understand. Maybe if they go on sale and I can save up a little bit of money, I would. I don't know if I may have missed it on their website, but I sure would love to see some bubble bath products for toddlers or little kids. My kids could surely use it during bath time. 

Don't forget to visit Naturawl's website today and shop around! Thank you, Naturawl!

Product Review: Blade Butter (Get More Life From Your Razor)

Matt Green

Are you tired of spending money on razors that get dull pretty easy? Don't have the budget to spend money on expensive ones? Please, stick around and read my review of a product that might just be the answer to your problem. Let's check out, Blade Butter. For some of you, you may have heard of this product before and may have even used it, but for some who haven't, let's get to know this product a little bit more. 

A month ago, I received two complimentary products from Blade Butter in pink and gold for me and my dear husband to try and review. What is Blade Butter? 

Blade Butter Story

Blade Butter was created when a man named Matt Green (owner of the Blade Butter company) discovered something and turned out a bad situation into a positive one. About ten years ago, Matt Green worked for the founder of Worldwide Sports Nutrition. He taught him to develop nutritional products with the help of top-level formulators and reputable contract manufacturers. His Blade Butter idea came from a problem solution they made when a line of protein bars that tasted like a Snickers that had no sugar in them would stick to the inside of the wrappers, which wasted some of the bars. They then set out to solve the problem by infusing edible oils so the bars will no longer stick to the inside of the wrappers. During his research, he found that when he combined two types of filtration, the oil molecules became so small they soaked through every layer of the wrapper. That included the metal foil layer. Anyway, he stored that oil infusion into a jar and marked it #3 and sat it on the shelf in his office for future reference. 

One day, he ran out of shaving gel and he was not excited about it. He remembered the oil #3 and thought of soaking his razor in it to make a bad situation a little better. According to him, he ended up enjoying one of the cleanest, closest shaves of his life. And thus, the Blade Butter was born. To know more about the story of the Blade Butter, visit the website. 

BladeButter FAQs:

* Is BladeButter all-natural?

      - Yes. BladeButter is made up of all-natural oils, vitamins, anti-oxidants and astringents. 

* How do you use BladeButter? 

      - Simply soak your razor for a few minutes before each shave. It's that easy. To maximize the benefit... let the excess oil drip back into the jar to conserve the supply and rinse your razor thoroughly after each use. 

* Is BladeButter safe for my skin?

      - BladeButter is safe for your skin. Once again, it's all-natural and it contains ingredients that promote healthy skin. 

* How long does a jar last?

      - It depends on how much and how often you use it. With regular use, a 1.5 oz jar of BladeButter should last 4-6 months. Remember, you only soak your razor prior to shaving. 

* If I spill BladeButter on my clothing, will it come out? 

      - Yes, BladeButter comes out of clothing in the wash. It's a blend of natural oils so you can use Dawn to remove it from more delicate fabrics. 

* Can women use BladeButter?

      - Yes. The feedback from women has been terrific. They like its scent and they really enjoy the way it leaves their skin feeling smooth and soft. 

* What does the product promise? 

        - It promises to preserve and protect your razor so it stays sharp for a longer time, which saves you money, saves your skin, and saves the earth by reducing your carbon footprint dramatically. Less razors meaning you'll be sending less waste into the landfills. 

Soft and Smooth Pink/ Rugged & Bold Gold

Contains all-natural micro-lubricants including pure white mineral oil, tea tree oil, Grape seed oil, Aloe Vera, vitamin E, and natural fragrance. Not a food product. 

Our Review:

- We like how fast the shipping was and with no problem. The tub was easy to open with an instruction on the back on how to use the BladeButter. 

- My husband is very thankful I found out about this product and that we got the chance to sample it because so far it has been a favorite of his. Because BladeButter is made up of all-natural oils, it leaves a calming and soothing scent when you shave. And it moisturizes your skin too! 

- I have noticed from my husband that he doesn't have those frequent shave cuts anymore once we started using the BladeButter. For my own experience, once dipping the razor into the liquid prior to shaving, the razor smoothly glides on your skin. To be honest, I was surprised at how it left my legs smooth the whole day. And even the next day. I have this problem with after shaving where my skin tends to get dry and itchy and I get red bumps on my legs, but I have noticed I wasn't itchy at all when I used the product. That was because my skin was smooth and moisturized from the all-natural oils that are in this product. 

- If you ask me if I use the BladeButter along with my own shaving cream? Yes, I do. Although, I did use the product just by itself without using any kind of shaving cream when shaving my legs and I was amazed at how it works. I don't have anything else to say, but it works for me and for my husband. 

- It depends on how much you use it, it can last up to 4 to 6 months, but I have to say, it has only been a little over a month and my husband's already used up half of the liquid. He uses his oil a lot! I think for women, it can last up to 6 months or even more because we don't shave like men do, but that's just what I think because I don't shave as often as my husband does. 

- You do have to wait for at least five minutes prior to shaving and you let the rest of the oil drip back into the jar so that takes up just a little bit of your time. For some, it might be a bit of an issue time wise (I think), but not for us. 

- I don't have anything bad to say about the product except the jar can get really oily (of course) so be careful when you pack it on your trip. Although you can easily get it off of your clothes, you just don't want that to happen. I have not tried taking it with us on a trip so we don't know how well the jar can hold up without no leaking. 

* The Price?

        - $17.95

* Where can you buy it?
           - Order here. 

* How well does it achieve those goals?

        - Based from our own experience, we are very pleased with this product. The BladeButter lives up to its expectation. We hope it works for you too. 

* Is it worth the price? 

        - It is worth the buy considering your razors will last you longer and you don't have to keep changing or buying razors. Think about how much money you spend on razors each month? Ever since we used the product, we have not changed our razors yet because it still is sharp and works great.  

How about you, would you buy it? Do you think it is worth the money?

Product Review: Wet & Forget Shower Cleaner

Today I wanted to take a short break from sharing with you some products that can help us get ready for the summer, get in shape, be healthy, fit and strong. I want to share with you today a type of product that can help us with cleaning. We all know that part of living a healthy lifestyle is also having a clean home. Although, sometimes cleaning the house can be a daunting task especially if you have little ones living under the same roof. And you know how they can be messy. Same thing with cleaning our bathroom or shower room. It can be a daunting task having to scrub and wipe those built up soap scum, grime, oil, mold, and mildew stains. Gross! But how about if I tell you that you don't have to do any kind of scrubbing and wiping anymore while cleaning your shower? Sounds too good to be true, right? Oh it is so true! I happened to receive a 64 oz of Wet & Forget Shower Cleaner that was sent to me for free for a review, and I couldn't be more excited about it. I wanted to see if this product is really worth the hype and it didn't disappoint.

When I read that you don't have to do any scrubbing, I said sign me up! I am glad the company agreed to send me a sample of their product to test out and so far I am loving it. I have been very sensitive to strong chemicals lately and to know that this shower cleaner is made of non-aggressive ingredients, and has a gentle vanilla scent to it, I was really happy. It is really easy to use, all you have to do is attach the sprayer and spray away. I use the Wet & Forget Shower Sprayer once a week, then I just rinse it off once your shower is clean. Sometimes I even forget about rinsing it off until I shower. I have been using this product for a month now and still impressed at how well it works. You can watch the video on their website to learn more about Wet & Forget and how much money do you really save by choosing this product against any other products. Scroll down to read the product features.

Before trying the Wet & Forget Cleaner, I used one of those daily shower cleaner, and that takes up a lot of time. I am a stay-at-home mom to two kids and you know how they can be very demanding at times when you are very busy working with something. With this product, it makes it a lot easier to clean up the shower and I have more time with my kids.

Clean & easy, vanilla breezy.
Wet & Forget Shower no-scrub weekly shower spray takes the work out of cleaning your shower. Simply spray Wet & Forget Shower once a week to clean and prevent the build-up of soap scum, grime, oils, mold & mildew stains. No more scrubbing, no more having to spray every day like with other spray-on shower cleaners, and no more harsh chemical odors. After you spray Wet & Forget Shower, instead of an eye-stinging cloud of bleach or ammonia odors, you will be left with a sparkling clean shower and a bathroom that smells like it's just been kissed by a soothing vanilla breeze.

+ Easy, once-a-week application.
+ No scrubbing or wiping.
+ High efficiency sprayer.
+ 12 weeks cleaning power in one bottle.
+ Soft Vanilla essence.
+ No bleach, ammonia, dyes or irritating fumes.

I purposely didn't clean up our shower (gross) so I could show you a before and after photo. As you can see, while I was spraying the sliding glass doors and the walls, it dripped down all over to the floor. The part that got in contact with the Wet & Forget Product turned while and clean. I didn't even have to scrub it or wipe it off. Amazing!

"Wet & Forget Shower takes the hard work out of cleaning. No scrubbing or wiping needed—just spray on fixtures, shower curtains, enclosures, shower glass, tiles and tubs, once a week, after the last shower of the day. The next day, simply rinse the surfaces before or during your shower.

Wet & Forget Shower's remote trigger sprayer makes your job even easier. Each squeeze of the trigger releases 65% more product than the average sprayer, and gets you out of the bathroom and back to your life faster than those weekly sprayers. Our remote sprayer allows you to get those hard-to-reach spots, and even sprays upside-down." 

My first spray and didn't have to scrub it. I just rinsed it off. I use the spray once a week according to the direction and it will last up to 12 weeks in that 64 ounce bottle. Unbelievable! Not only does it make your shower cleaner a lot easier and faster, it saves you some money as well.

Thank you, Wet & Forget!
