Review and Giveaway: Joy of Soap!!!

If you like to be clean raise your hand!!! ( I can see youuuuu.....lol)

Well, If you like to be clean The Joy of Soap is where it is at! The Joy of Soap is a company that stands on their Green Practices and provides moisturizing, organic, natural soaps and other products. They are made of sustainable ingredients and fine craftsmanship.

I love naturally made soaps and have tried a few, but Joy of Soap soaps are impressive. Firs,t they solidly made. I've had natural soaps in the past that fall apart when you get them. They also are moisturizing which some natural soaps don't provide that extra softness.


I tried Lay Me Down Lavender and Two in the Shower Tea Tree. I like the natural, authentic scent of the lavender bar. I've used it for a month and it still has most of its original size, too....
Two in the Shower Tea Tree is great for problem body skin such as acne.I have shoulder and chest body acne and notice when I used this, it stayed away.:)

Green Glam: Seventh Generation....Part One...

I'll admit, as big a fashion junkie that I am, I wear the same clothing over and over. My palette of colors are basic: black, white, grey, and cream.This Fall ,I'll be throwing the demin back in ( wayyy too hot to wear jeans here this summer) .So, I like to take care my clothes and my kids' clothes, which where all the money for clothes goes!

Seventh Generation has a great line of laundry products that work wonders and are safe for the environment. I tried their Natural 2X Concentrated Laundry Liquid,Natural Fabric Softener Sheets in Blue Eucalyptus and Lavender,Chlorine Free Bleach, and100 % Recyclable Bathroom Tissue.

The 2X Concentrated Laundry Liquid got some of worst stains( like marker stains and dirty socks) clean despite the small amount you used for a full load. I'm so use to using so much detergent,I was nervous that things would not come clean with a small amount! They did. Same with the Chlorine Free Bleach.I believe in bleach for my and the kids' whites. Worked great!

The Fabric Softener is actually a paper sheet with the softener on it. Its very scented on the sheet but the scent doesn't stick to the clothes which I like. So if you are a' scented' fabric softener person, this would not be your product but on the other hand, the product is neat. After the clothes are dry the sheet comes out as a ball of paper that are compostable and great for the environment.

The Bathroom Tissue wasn't really any different that your basic bathroom tissue. I normally use the softest there is in bathroom tissue ( if you see what I'm saying;)lol) which also can be super thick and bad for your septic system. Even though the Bathroom Tissue is thin,it flushes fast and lessens the expected costs of sewer repairs. That's a good enough reason to use it!!

Check out Seventh Generation Online, Twitter, and Facebook! And COUPONS!!!!

And stay tuned for Part II ( especially for the ladies) when I review Seventh Generation feminine products!!!

Glam Grub: Yogavive....

Getting all my fruits and veggie intake for the day is hard work for me! I'm such a carb head...I honestly think that's what's keeping my weight so stagnant.

Yogavive Organic Popped and Baked Fuji Apple Chips are a great way to get your fruit in and have a tasty sweet dessert or snack. The small serving size of 0.35oz bag is equivalent to one fuji apple! The larger 1.76 ounce bag is equivalent to FIVE apples.

They come in flavors of Original, Caramel,Peach, Cinnamon and Strawberry. I love the Original washed down with fresh, cold water. They are crunchy and very fresh tasting.The boys enjoy these and even my mom likes them. We gifted my gluten allergic cousin with some and she automatically wanted more!

Visit Yogavive at http://www.yogavive.com/

You can buy them on Amazon, Whole Foods and STARBUCKS!!!

Also they are on Facebook and Twitter! ( they are always doing giveaways!)

My Birthday Wishlist!

On September 23, I will be a gleeming 33, if its Lord's will!

I'm not afraid to speak my age. If anything I'm proud and blessed.I never, EVER imagined my life in my 30s, often didn't think I would make it. That's why my first birthday wish is to be alive with my family intact.

HOWEVER...I love gifts and to be showered with love. I dont have a significant other and none of my real close friends live by so my'celebrating' is limited. That's ok, though. Each year that passes, God shows me who's loyal and who's not on September 23. I smile when i think He is a God of restoration. You lose some and gain better.

That's my sermon for today! ***shouting music roll on the piano***
