Auric Blends ~ Natural Perfumery ~ Choose any 2 scents! ~ GIVEAWAY!!! ~ 6/16

I love all things natural. It just makes sense. However, I love my perfumes.
I'm picky when it comes to scent. I like warm, rich fragrance. In high school, I wore men's Obsession very lightly, because I loved the smell. Now I have very few that I really like. Forget the florals please.

I also am aware of what I'm dabbing onto my skin & our pressure points, where we dab, are warm areas - lots of blood flow. I try to keep chemical junk away from those areas especially.

So, for daily use, I love to use natural oils. Most have therapeutic properties as well. It's great using them to smell good and it be healthy too!

That is where Auric Blends comes in. From the site:

Since 1993 Auric Blends has been captivating women and men with our creative line of fragrance products. Our perfumes and incense are handcrafted and always made from the highest quality ingredients from around the world. We invite you to enjoy what millions of people worldwide have come to know and love as their favorite fragrance line.

We love making perfume, incense and all the other aromatic products we offer. We hope you love them too.

I got to sample several blends.

I'll start with Siren - because it is from the 100% natural line. While it is not my ideal scent, as it matured on my skin, I became quite fond of it. Fresh is the word I'd use - perfect for Spring & Summer.

This is more my type! Egyptian Goddess is Auric Blend's top selling perfume. It's a lightly powdery, oriental type of fragrance. I can picture this being worn by all ages and by an Egyptian goddess!

Then there is Love. This would not be my choice for myself. I think it's the white amber note that is a little too sweet for my tastes. It is nice and I can see that others would Love it - must be why it is #2 in sales!

Divine Opium solid perfume is lovely! Spicy, antique, warm. I love it. I carry this one with me. It sure doesn't hurt that the packaging is wonderful on it's own accord.

I also got to try the Chinese Rain roll on. This scent is way too sweet for me. A heavy floral. Perfect for someone who likes sweet florals.








I have read wonderful reviews of their Black Coconut - I'm going to purchase that one. Sounds good!

I am so happy that Auric Blends is out there offering natural perfumes to the mainstream.

Oogavé ~ Originial Agave Soda ~ Variety Pack ~ Quickie GIVEAWAY!!! ~ Ends 4/22

Ever sat down to a fabulous healthy meal, want something more than a water and end up ordering a soda? It wrecks the health of the meal. Even wholesome restaurants sometimes have very little to offer in the way of drinks.

Oogave is the answer to little choice. With flavors like - Watermelon Cream, Strawberry Rhubarb, Grapefruit, & Mandarin Key Lime, and more traditional flavors like Cola, Root Beer & Ginger Ale, there is no lack of choice.

Agave is a natural, healthier alternative to other sweetners on the market - without loosing flavor.

I love Oogave! Super fun & flavorful. I think my favorite is Mandarin Key Lime. I also love the Ginger Ale - it has a nice strong ginger flavor. We had fun sampling :)

I like it so well, I've sent a request for a local health foods store to carry it!

BUY IT:

You can purchase Oogave online @ http://www.oogave.com/ or find a local retailer

WIN IT!!!

One lucky winner will receive a sample pack to experience all the flavors & some promotional items ( stickers , coupons, buttons, etc.)

Prefense ~ Alcohol Free Hand Sanitizer ~ GIVEAWAY!!! ~ Ends 3/23

I'm not a huge hand sanitizer person. I'm home a large part of the time and don't have to worry about it.

When we go out, I am a sanitizer. The germs on shopping carts don't stand a chance when I come to shop. I am keenly aware of all the people who pass through - all the colds and bugs that go around. I think of the babies that sit in those carts. What if they had RSV - I don't want to expose my children or myself.

Almost as much as I don't want to expose my family to germ & viruses, I don't want to expose them to chemicals. That is why I like Prefrese - it's natural. Just check out the ingredients : Amosilq Silica Complex, water, vegetable glycerin, Cocamidopropyl Betane, organic essential oils.

Let me tell you a little more about why Prefense hand sanitizer is superior to others on the market!


· No alcohol! Prefense is made of all-natural organic ingredients and has absolutely NO alcohol in it!

· Their technology protects you for 24 hours or 10 hand washings! This is what moms really love to hear about!

· Prefense is non-toxic and safe for kids! It will not hurt you if swallowed!

· Prefense is silica based which means it doesn’t dry out your hands like traditional alcohol sanitizers. It actually smoothes and softens your hands. You can totally see this when you apply it!

· Prefense protects against staph, strep, E.coli, drug resistant MRSA strains, and more. We fight germs that other hand sanitizers can’t.

· Because “one spray lasts all day” our 1.5 oz Prefense Botanicals Hand Sanitizer offers 120 applications, costing only $.08 per day, compared to $1.20 per day with alcohol hand sanitizers


See what I mean? And let me state this again - Prefense protects against staph, strep, E.coli, drug resistant MRSA strains, and more. We fight germs that other hand sanitizers can’t. And does it naturally!!!
 
So I carry Prefense with me in my purse & diaper bag and after I sanitize the cart with what the store provides, I use my Prefense so I, know my little one is protected!
 
BUY IT:

You can purchase Prefense products online at : http://www.prefense.com/

WIN IT!!!

One lucky winner will receive the large size- 8oz Prefense which offers 640 applications!

Tersano ~ Lotus Home Cleaning System ~ GIVEAWAY!!! ~ Ends 2/11

100% Chemical Free Cleaning

The Lotus System has two main functions:

◦to clean and sanitize surfaces with the spray a bottle

◦to remove pesticides and kill germs on food and small objects with a bowl


Benefits:
◦Streak free with zero residues

◦Destroys odors without masking- fragrance-free

◦Kills bacteria that cause food to decay, increasing shelf life up to 400%

◦Destroys pesticides

◦Improves the taste of foods or other edible product


How it Works:

◦The lotus® system's Oxyshield® technology infuses tap water with ozone — a natural sanitizer that is safe and harmless to healthy cells.

◦Ozone-activated water is widely accepted as a safe and effective way to decontaminate all kinds of foods- meats, poultry, seafood, fruits and vegetables.


◦Washing produce in ozonated water significantly reduces pesticide residues on the surface of produce. With the lotus system, expensive "organic" isn't the only way to enjoy food with less pesticides!

◦Ozonated lotus water quickly kills germs all kinds of surfaces — cutting boards, kitchen counters, stovetops, knives, sinks, toilets, garbage cans or diaper pails.

◦Excellent for neutralizing pet odors in carpets, dog beds, upholstery or car interiors.

◦Sanitize everyday items like sponges, dish cloths, small toys, pacifiers, nipples, can openers, kitchen gadgets and utensils — in cool tap water.

I LOVE it!  I use it to clean the whole house and it feels cleaner than ever. The system is super easy to use - just fill the bottle or bowl with tap water in two to four minutes, you've got  liquefied ozone that is ready to be used for up to 15 minutes for optimal sanitizing and 45 minutes for a powerful cleaning solution. I love being able to make up the solution whenever I need it.
.
I am so pleased with the Lotus System - everything feels so clean and I feel good knowing I'm doing it without nasty chemicals. Lotus is good for my family & the environment. The clean feels really clean. It also saves you tons of money on cleansers.

I even water my plants with the water. I am planning on buying the Lotus water treatment system for our drinking water.

So if you're frugal, green, love a really good clean, I would highly recommend the Lotus System.

KINA Collection ~ Booties ~ GIVEAWAY!!! ~ Ends 12/16

Kina booties stay on.
And that is just the icing on the cake.

They are super soft, flexible and giving. This allows for natural foot growth and movement.

The 100% lambswool inner is beautifully soft and provides superior comfort and warmth. Lambswool is temperature regulating and breathable, ensuring little feet do not overheat.

Kina booties feature suede soles so they are safe and do not slip. With an elasticated ankle band they stay firmly yet comfortably in place.

Kina booties colour palate is simple. The all-natural lamb is the star of this show.

Sorry folks. They do not come covered in faces and animals and other random cute floral things. Nature has done a stunning job and your kid shall do the rest.

I use natural materials whenever possible - cotton, wood, stone, wool, leather - they're better for you, better for the environment - they're real , honest and most often naturally beautiful.

Kina booties are beautiful. They are high quality. They pose no threat to my baby's sweet little toes. I love them - I feel posh when she wears them out, as they are unique and obviously specialty.

I was so worried when I would take her out in them that I would loose one. Not a problem, they stay on very well.

I plan to keep her feet in Kina as she grows. We all know by now that soft shoes are best for growing feet - Kina are the ultimate soft shoe & wonderfully natural :)

Babo ~ Oatmilk Calendula Newborn Giftset ~ GIVEAWAY!!! ~ Ends 9/10

Tiny toes, tiny fingers, a brand new little belly button. What could be more wonderful in the whole world than a tiny baby?

All the firsts. New things to experience with your baby. It's quite magical and I'm under the spell now and trying to savor every moment.

In our birth plan we requested that we be the first to bathe our newborn. We were released in under 24 hours and Capri left the hospital without a bath and was able to share that special first at home with Mommy & Daddy.

Until her cord fell off, we did light sponge baths. Once it did, and she was ready for her first real bath, I made a nice warm bath and Daddy brought her in and put her in the tub with me. It's such a bonding time.

Gentle enough for newborn skin, we used Babo in Capri's first bath. It was really nice not having to worry for a second what was being absorbed into my baby's skin.

The newborn formula is the Oatmilk Calendula. Oatmilk helps comfort skin associated with eczema, dry patches or chafed skin. Calendula Oil is known to help soothe scalps with cradle cap or dry patches. Certified Organic Nutri-Soothe™ Blend rich in vitamins and anti-oxidants combines Chamomile, Watercress, Kudzu and Calendula -Extra gentle plant-based cleansers that soothe and nourish skin.
