Dr. Jacobs Naturals Product Review

I recently received a few of Dr. Jacobs Naturals products for review.  I had never heard of them before, but am really impressed with the quality of the items.  Their products are all natural, free from harsh chemicals, and safe enough to use on pets.

The first thing I took out of the box was a Castile Bar Soap in Luscious Lavender.  Lavender is my favorite scent, but it is very difficult to find products that actually smell like real lavender flowers.  Well, this Dr. Jacobs Castile Soap does! It smells just like the lavender that I grow in my garden.  It feels and smells great when using it and rinses off cleanly without any residue.

The second thing I removed from the box was the Dr. Jacobs Naturals Castile Liquid Soap in Eucalyptus.  The one I received came in a pump, making it perfect for a hand soap and face wash on our bathroom sink.  I think it smells a bit like tea tree oil, but only lightly; I find it a pleasant scent.  My son has a habit of still having soap suds around his wrists when he is done washing his hands, I haven't noticed that with this soap.  It rinses off cleanly and is gentle enough to use on our face at bedtime too.

The final item that I took out of the box was the Dr. Jacobs Naturals Castile Liquid Soap in Almond Honey.  It smells like candy or cookies! It would be a great winter scent.  It also, just like the other two rinses off well, without residue left behind.

Peppermint & Lavender Essential Oils Review

I worked at Bath and Body Works years ago.  While I was there I learned a bit about aromatherapy.  It was at that time that I fell in love with the smell of lavender and peppermint essential oils.  Not only do they smell wonderful they are very useful for so many things.

I received a bottle of lavender and peppermint essential oils from Insta Natural to test and review.  On their own the oils can be used for relaxation, stress-relief, and energy.  I personally don't use peppermint oil without adding it to a carrier oil; such as fractionated coconut oil.  I'm always worried that I will use too much and peppermint oil is strong.  However, with the lavender oil I don't worry about using it full strength.

For these two particular oils I bought two 6oz travel bottles from Target (one for each oil) and put fractionated coconut oil in, then added a dropper full of the lavender oil in one bottle and a dropper full of the peppermint oil in the other bottle.  You can mix them if you want to, but I chose not to.  The coconut oil has no scent and stays liquid.

The peppermint mixture I use for sore muscles and joints.

While I use the lavender for an all over body moisturizer. 

These particular essential oils from this company are 100% pure and steam-distilled.  They are high quality and all natural.  You can get a 4oz glass bottle for $19.95 on their site.  Essential oils are extremely useful for helping what ails you in a natural way.  I encourage everyone to check out the benefits of them.

I received these oils in exchange for my honest review, no other compensation was given.  All thoughts and opinions are my own. 

Suave Naturals Soothing Lavender Head to Toe Wash-Review

Does your family use Suave products?  Mine does.  There is one item that my two youngest kids can't live without.  It is Suave Naturals Soothing Lavender Head to Toe wash.  They both love the scent of lavender, thanks to it being my favorite scent.

This particular Suave product is great for many reasons.  The first being that it is tear free.  Even though my son is eight he still needs to use tear free products because he hates getting his face wet or getting anything in his eyes, so being reassured that the shampoo won't burn his eyes is really important to him.  Secondly it is a head to toe wash, that means that you only have to buy one product- say hi to saving money!  The other stand out reason that I like this wash for my kids is the scent, lavender, encourages relaxation.  That is perfect for showers and baths at bedtime to get your kids wound down and ready to sleep.

I know that Suave makes many great products, but this is our one must have Suave item.  What's yours?
