Aveeno Baby Eczema Therapy Bath Treatment Review

Bath time is baby Sy's absolute favorite time.  He gets to splash, play with his toys.  Sometimes even make a mess with his bath tub crayons, and paint.  His skin is very sensitive, and he has Eczema patches..  What I found that helps his skin, and bath treatment that even my mom used to us growing was Oatmeal baths. Especially since we lived near the marsh, and woods.  We were always being ate by bugs, and getting into poison ivy, and sumac that she had a stockpile of the oatmeal soothing relief packs.  I love that they make a line just for babies now for it.

The New Aveeno Active Naturals Eczema Therapy Line has been awarded the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance. Fragrance-free. Dye-free. Alcohol free.

Aveeno Baby Eczema Therapy is perfect for Sy.  It's soothing, and just one packet is enough to bathe him in.  He enjoyed how it turned the bath water into a milky white color.  Also, it's great for diaper rash, all rashes really.  Mosquito bites, since summer will be here soon.  Oatmeal baths are ideal for skin irritations.

Aveeno Baby Cleansing Therapy, Moisturizing Wash contains the same Oats, and natural colloidal oatmeal as the Soothing Bath Treatment.  I like to use just a little bit of this on a wash cloth, and some on my little ones hair.  I think it makes an overall head, to toe wash for his sensitive skin.

Aveeno Baby Ezcema Therapy Moisturizing Cream has a thick consistency.  After his oatmeal bath, I rubbed just a little of this on his face, and his arms where he breaks out the most.  I noticed a drastic change with in minutes.  

We have always been a fan of Aveeno.  One of my favorite lotions to use for Sy is the Calming Comfort Lavender Lotion.  Receiving these items for free to review just made me realize how great of a company Aveeno is, and that the products did help with his skin problems.  If it's good enough for your babies skin, of course even as an adult you can use the Oatmeal baths, and Lotions too.

Go give Aveeno some love on Facebook, http://www.facebook.com/aveeno.  Do you use Aveeno? Or have any memories using Aveeno as a child? I love that I get to share the product with my Son now.

Nexxus Salon Hair Care Pro-Mend Review

Nexxus Salon Hair Care Pro-Mend Split End Treatment Daily Shampoo, and Pro-Mend Conditioner may sound like it would have a medicated scent but it doesn't.  The first thing I noticed when I opened to squeeze some of the shampoo onto my hand was the sweet smell of the Shampoo.  The smell reminds me of a Sweet Tart.  I love, good, smelly, shampoos. Nexxus Pro-Mend was easy to lather, and to wash out.  The conditioner was thick, and once smoothed into my hair ( I use  a lot of conditioner and run it through/rub it on every piece of my hair.  While at the ends of my hair I like to flatten it, so the hair looks like all the strains are together. All the way across.) I then leave the Conditioner in for a few minutes.  It rinsed out easily.  The sweet scent was still there afterwards.  

The Nexxus Pro-Mend made my hair shiny, and easy to brush.  I didn't have to add any leave-in conditioner.  Which I normally always have to do.  I liked this shampoo/conditioner combination as is.  They do make Nexxus Pro-Mend Leave in's, but I don't think my hair needed it this time.  I received these products for free to review.  All opinions, and photos are my own.  This shampoo is some of the best I've experienced.  You should really try it! 

Go give Nexxus some Love on their social media outlets! Never know what next great product they come out with that you could be missing out on.

Ben & Jerry's Greek Yogurt Review AND GIVEAWAY!!!

Did you know Ben & Jerry's has Greek Frozen Yogurt now!? At almost a 3rd of the calories for regular ice cream!  One lucky fan will win a Swag Prize Pack of Ben & Jerrys Free Product Coupons, and gifts.  I received 3 Free Ben & Jerry's coupons, an ice cream lock top (It's really cute,  and does lock the lid shut for a pint.) Also a really nifty Ice Cream Scooper that  scoops rock hard ice cream.  Along with a Ben & Jerry's Pint Size Cozy Cover for the Ice Cream itself.  You know.. just incase it's too cold to hold, haha.

The frozen yogurt we decided to try were;

• Vanilla Greek Frozen Yogurt with a Honey Caramel Swirl Vanilla Honey Caramel.
• Pineapple Greek Frozen Yogurt with Chunks of Pineapple & a Passionfruit Swirl Pineapple Passionfruit.
• Lemon Greek Frozen Yogurt with a Blueberry Lavender Swirl Liz Lemon.

We enjoyed all the new Greek Yogurt Flavors.  My favorite was the Pineapple Ice Cream.  There was chunks of pineapple in it, with swirls of passion fruit.  It was a great small treat.  The Pineapple Ben & Jerrys Frozen Yogurt Ice Cream is only 180 calories for a half cup.  It's milky like ice cream, and still sweet.  The hubby enjoyed the other 2 pints.  I know when he likes something.. by the way he eats it all, and doesn't talk while eating it.  Haha.  He's on a diet too, and he's lost weight this week as well.  We believe anything in moderation is OK.  

You can find other choices by going to the Ben & Jerry's Flavors Freezer online.  There is also a Ben & Jerry's Locator in case there is a certain flavor you are just vying to try, and can't find it in your store.   There are a lot new flavor combinations for Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream.  You'd be surprised that your old favorite, may not be your new favorite.  There is even Cannoli Ice cream now!! Move over Cherry Garcia.. you were my favorite..

BeautyStopOnline.com Review for HEMPZ Body Wash & Lotion

I believe skin care is extremely important.  Age does not matter.  Old, young, newborn, or even in the womb.  We need certain vitamins for healthy cells.  We really need to take care of our skin.  I am a huge advocate of natural oils, vitamins, and remedies.  I turn 31 in a few months, and I have always liked to bathe in oils like the egyptians.  I also moisturize myself every time I get out of the water.  

BeautyStopOnline.com is a great site to purchase beauty products at almost half off other stores prices. They have all the name brands, and then some.   I was pleased at how easy it is to browse the site.  There is even a Natural & Organic tab.

I received HEMPZ Pure Herbal Extracts Vanilla Plum Moisturizer, and HEMPZ Jasmine Peach & Wild Rose Body Wash from Beauty Stop Online to review.    

Hempz Jasmine Peach & Wild Rose Body Wash really surprised me.  I was expecting it to smell overly floral, but really, it has a sweet peach aroma with a light touch of jasmine, and rose that still lingers on the skin once out of the shower.  I was in the mood for a bubble bath, so I squirted just a little bit into the tub.  It bubbled quickly, and lasted the duration of the bath.  

Hempz Pure Herbal Extracts Vanilla Plum Moisturizer has made me back burner all my other lotions at this moment.  As you can see by my image, it's all I've been using the last week, and a half.  The scent is not strong (Which is why I like it.) I don't like overly vanilla scents, and this does not have that.  The vanilla gives the plum more of a deep, sweet, creamy scent while heated, and rubbed into the skin.  When I smell my skin, I can smell it, and really, that is what I want.  I want to be moisturized, and to smell good for myself, and the one I love.  I don't think everyone should be able to smell me from afar.  

I have been feeling good about myself lately.  Between the weight loss, and my skin feeling beautiful, and I do have to admit.  My skin is pretty flawless right now.  

This is how much weight I've lost.  I have a few inches extra in my pants now. So skin care right now is a MUST.  I must hydrate, and moisturize as I am shedding those pounds so that I stay firm as I'm toning.  It can be done, and I am doing it.  I am down 30 lbs by just going the healthier, alternative way since last summer.

I also wanted to disclose,  HEMPZ does NOT contain any THC.  Hemp seed oil is a fantastic, oil.  And I wish more people were accepting of it.  Hemp seed contains Omega 6 and Omega 3 fatty acids.  It's composition is similar to skin lipids. It has been known to increase the skin elasticity and water retention capacity in skin tissue.  Hemp oil also helps to calm irritated skin, and to energize.  Little history for you, in 1916 all farmers were forced to grow hemp in the United States, it was a huge cash crop during the war.  It wasn't until 1937 that it became illegal.  Hemp is a harmless plant, that is full of vitamins, amino acids, it can even be used for clothing, paper, and FUEL.  It's also easy to grow.  Really? Why be against Hemp again? Once again, all opinions are my own, and I do stand behind natural beauty products.  These are my favorite types of reviews.

Stonz Wear Rain Boots Review 100% Natural Rubber

Silas is quite the little man of the forest in his Kids Stonz Wear Rain Bootz!  I can't believe how big my baby boy is getting.  These are his first rain boots.  What makes these boots awesome is, they are 100% Natural Rubber Rain Boots.  Another great thing about these Boots that I noticed is that they could bend easily with his natural gait, and he did not trip over them.  He could even climb  a tree trunk in them.  They were also ideal as he ran through leaves and moist soil.  I am so happy that the snow finally melted.

This is the first year that he's big enough to go out, and enjoy nature without falling all over himself.  He knows he's looking so cool, and fresh in his new Stonz Rain Bootz in Blue/Black.  Look at him checking himself out!  

Shipping Wise, they were delivered fast, and in a cute litttle re-usable bag.  It was the perfect little gift bag.  I wouldn't even wrap this if I were giving it as a gift to someone.  Instead of them wasting money on shipping materials, the Rain boots were mailed directly in the tote bag with tissue paper, and just a plastic bag.  I thought that was ingenious, and completely not a waste of packing material! Two thumbs up, and an abundance of kudos!  

Overall Impression of StonzWear.com Rain Boots:  They are durable, bright beautiful blue, and true to fit for the size I needed for my Toddler.  Well worth the $35.99.  

Below are a list of Top 12 Reasons why you should check out Stonz Wear Rain Bootz:

1. 100% Natural Rubber 
2. Durable
3. Tear resistant
4. Flexible
5. Comfortable 
6. Quick dry 
7. 100% cotton liner 
8. PVC-free 
9. Phthalate-free 
10. Lead-free 
11. Formaldehyde-free
12. Because they are Cute
