Happy, Healthy, Odor-Free { Fresh Wave Review }

September 23, 2015 by Emilee Evans

With three kids and 5 pets, we’re bound to have a lot of unpleasant scents! Trying to keep everything smelling nice without the use of harsh chemicals is our top priority. That’s why I was excited to be introduced to Fresh Wave!

Fresh Wave introduced great new products last month that are available exclusively at Target. They offer natural odor removing products for happy, healthy, odor-free homes. In fact, their products have always been safe for people, pets and the planet. Awesome, right? I know I appreciate it!
For my review, I received the products that are available exclusively at Target. This includes the odor-removing Spray, odor-removing Gel and odor-removing Packs. It’s quite a power pack trio against odors!
Fresh Wave Review - Natural Odor Removing Products
Odor-removing Spray
This natural odor-removing spray is fantastic. It has a great scent. Only a few sprays makes a big difference! The sprayer can be turned on or off with a simple push of a button. It is a light spray and is perfect for freshening up any room!
Odor-removing Gel
The odor-removing Gel is a great solution for a stinky room. Simply open it up and place the slotted lid back on it and put it in the stinky area. For our family, this would be either by the litter box or by the gerbils. I chose by the gerbils because we have to be careful what we use next to them, and this Gel is the perfect product for the job!
Odor-removing Packs
The odor-removing packs are amazing for freshening up things like the car, shoes (particularly our boys’ shoes! Phew!) and my gym bag. One pack really gets the job done, but in the case of the shoes, I put one in each shoe. The bag reseals so the Packs stay fresh.
I am definitely loving these Fresh Wave products. They are available exclusively at Target

Eco-Friendly Products for a Healthy Home

September 28, 2014 by Emilee Evans

When looking for eco-friendly alternatives, I love when I can find multiple products all in one place. It simplifies the shopping process and offers a reliable resource for transforming (or continuing) our goal of having a healthier home.
Disclosure: I received the products mentioned to facilitate my review. Regardless, all opinions are my own and those of my family. This post contains affiliate links.

Recently, Mommy’s Club got a makeover – and added a wealth of new eco-friendly products! The new name is absolutely perfect because what they offer are eco-friendly products to improve the health of the whole home from supplements to personal care products and eco-friendly cleaners! Introducing the Healthy Home Company!
I was thrilled when I had a chance to review the eco-friendly products back in March and was SO excited for the chance to review a variety of the newer products!
The Healthy Home Company offers so much for families. Not only do they offer a variety of eco-friendly products, but they also offer an opportunity for families to live healthier and build an income promoting more natural, eco-friendly living! Right up my alley! Who couldn’t use improved health and a way to generate additional income!
For my review I received a variety of products. Because I’m excited to share them all, I will start with the cleaning products.

Eco-friendly Cleaning Products

Healthy Home Company Review
I was so excited to try the cleaners. I worry about cleaners because I have run across many that claim to be eco-friendly or “natural,” and they have some pretty scary ingredients! So first of all, I was impressed with the ingredients. Plus, I love that they have so many uses!
The Clean 10-in-One is an eco-friendly All Purpose cleaner that can replace over 10 products in the home, including the bathroom, laundry room and kitchen. I’ve pretty much used it on everything – to clean the bathroom, kitchen, floors, as a dish soap replacement, and on the mirrors. I love that one product can do so much – and do it well! This is such an ideal product. I can use it for almost anything and it contains ingredients that are safe!
Strong (formerly “Tough Stuff”) can also be used on almost anything, and is perfect for the tougher jobs! Strong is noted to be effective against many types of bacteria, mold and mildew, and together represent a potent formula that replaces more than 10 products in your garage, those used for the home exterior, as well as tough jobs and stain removal inside the home. We recently moved and had some pretty tough messes to clean up, and Strong really gets the job done!

Eco-friendly Personal Care Products

I also received a variety of personal care products: Bug Spray, Deodorant, Men’s Two-in-One, Grow Hair Gel, and Sunscreen 32 SPF. (These are the new/current names of the products) I will highlight each product.
Healthy Home Eco-friendly Personal Care Products

Bug Spray

I love this bug spray! It contains essential oils that repel many different bugs, and, of course, it’s natural! No scary chemicals in this bug spray! It smells great and sprays a gentle mist for application. Plus the ingredients can also help soothe bug bites as well, which we also used for that purpose when we forgot to put it on first! It served both purposes well!

Deodorant

Deodorants are products that can contain a slew of scary ingredients, so it is hard to find deodorants that are both natural and effective. Deodorant is for both men and women and contains a blend of essential oils and other natural ingredients with a natural mandarin and earl grey scent. It is very refreshing! Plus, my underarms get easily irritated, and I have had no problems with irritation while using it!

Men’s Two-in-One

The Men’s Two-in-One is for both hair and body. It has a thin consistency and contains a variety of amazing ingredients. My husband took some time to get used to the consistency, but it definitely grew on him, and he loves it. He always appreciates 2-in-1 products, but it has been almost impossible to find one with safe ingredients. As a 2 time cancer survivor, this is very important to him, so I’m thrilled we were introduced to this!

Grow Hair Gel

The Grow Hair Gel is noted to thicken, stimulate growth and help reduce hair loss. It can be used by both men and women and can improve the health of the hair and hair follicles. I haven’t used this product consistently because although I am losing more hair than I used to, I still have very thick hair. I did notice improvement in the health and shine of my hair, though!

Sunscreen 32 SPF

Sunscreen SPF 32 is made with purified zinc oxide with the highest rated purity level by the United States Pharmacopeia-1. It protects against both UVA and UVB, which is definitely important. It contains 8 organic ingredients. It rubs on smoothly, has safe ingredients, and keeps us protected – it’s the ideal sunscreen!
I am so glad to be a Healthy Home Company Member, and I am glad I had a chance to experience more of their great products. I am so excited to continue sharing my passion of eco-friendly living and equipping others with knowledge and products that all-natural, toxic-free, BPA free, vegan, Non-GMO, Cruelty Free, and made in the USA.

Nourish Your Body Naturally with Anna Naturals

September 3, 2014 by Emilee Evans

You know I am always on the lookout for natural products. When it comes to natural products, I look for products that are natural for both inside and out. What I find really exciting is when I run into a company that has a great variety of products and really makes an effort to provide products that are GMO-Free.
Anna Naturals Review
Disclosure: I received a variety of products to facilitate my Anna Naturals Review. Regardless, all opinions are my own.
That is why I am so impressed by Anna Naturals. I had a chance to review their herbal teas in my May Eco Emi Box on Deals of Sweetness, and I was impressed! When I was presented with the opportunity to review more of their products, I jumped at the opportunity!
Anna Naturals offers a variety all natural products for women that are truly enjoyable without all the scary chemicals. They offer products specifically for women’s needs including menstruation, pregnancy, breastfeeding, postpartum, and just the everyday products for things like energy and pampering – both things we need and enjoy! There are natural herbal teas, bath and beauty products, aromatherapy, and more!
Anna Naturals Review
I am in awe of all the products available – particularly for pregnancy, breastfeeding, and postpartum. I only wish I had products like these during my pregnancies and from breastfeeding through weaning. Unfortunately, we are unable to have anymore children, but looking over the ingredients in these products, I am impressed and can see how they would be extremely beneficial. The nipple cream is even food grade!
For my review I received two of their herbal teas, Goat’s Milk Soap, and Glowing Mama Face & Body Scrub.

Herbal Teas

Anna Naturals Review Herbal Teas
I am in love with the Herbal Tea from Anna Naturals. I fell in love instantly when I tried them in my Eco Emi box, so I was thrilled for the chance to use them regularly. The Energy Tea is amazing. I have Fibromyalgia with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, so energy is something that doesn’t come easily to me. I appreciate that with this tea I can feel energized naturally. Not only does it contain natural ingredients for a natural energy and stamina boost, but it also contains essential antioxidants!
The Cycle-Ease Tea contains cramp bark, which is a natural muscle relaxant that primarily targets the uterus. Although I didn’t receive this during my cycle, I tried it previously during my cycle and was amazed. I have extremely painful cycles and try a plethora of natural remedies for relief, and it, by far, provided the most relief. I am so glad I will get to use it for my full cycle now! It’s fantastic!
Both of the herbal teas have a nice taste, and if you have a sweet tooth like me, you can add honey for sweetening. It really enhances the flavor.

All Natural Goat’s Milk Soap

Anna Naturals Review Goat's Milk Soap
I kind of have a “thing” for goat’s milk soap. It’s amazing. It leaves the skin feeling so soft. Anna Naturals really outdid it, though, with their Goat’s Milk Soap. Not only is it all natural, but it is lightly scented with certified essential oils for this nice, light citrus scent. It is divine! It leaves our hands feeling soft and smooth – and clean! We are loving this soap! It’s creamy, cleans well, smells good, and leaves our hands feeling baby soft. What’s not to love?

Glowing Mama Face & Body Scrub

Anna Naturals Review - Glowing Mama Face & Body Scrub
The Glowing Mama Face & Body Scrub is a walnut scrub. It is thick and creamy with exfoliating beads. It smooths on nicely, and I scrub it in well to really exfoliate my skin. I have problem skin and exfoliating is really important. It’s always nice to find a product that is natural that has exfoliating properties. To be able to use it on my face is a huge advantage. My face has been feeling so soft! It doesn’t feel greasy or too rough, it’s a nice blend. It almost has the consistency of a lotion! This is, by far, one of the best scrubs I have ever used.
Overall, I am definitely impressed by the Anna Naturals products. It’s not common that I receive a variety of products and really love every one. I love that they put so much effort into offer products that are all natural, GMO-free and perfect for women and our needs. I would definitely recommend their products!

TruKid Review

March 18, 2014 by Emilee Evans

Disclosure: I received the products mentioned to facilitate my TruKid review. Regardless, I only recommend products I feel would be good for my readers. All opinions are my own and those of my family. This post contains affiliate links. Please see my Disclosure Policy for more information.
TruKid Review
As an eco-conscious consumer, I am careful about the products I choose for our family. Something that has always been challenging is sunscreen. Even when most people are still holding on to winter (sorry!) we’re moving into Spring and have already been out on the jet skis and the boat. Sunscreen is SO important. Since my husband is a 2x cancer survivor, we are also cautious about sun exposure and using sunscreen consistently. What are we to do when so many sunscreens also have nasty chemicals that are risky as well?
That is why I was excited for the chance to review TruKid products. Not only do they offer all-natural sunscreen, they offer a whole line of products that are all natural, eczema-safe, mineral based and non toxic. They are also Pediatrician and Dermatologist tested. Plus I know I don’t have to worry about parabens and phthalates and other harmful ingredients. They are gluten-free as well! I can also appreciate that they are biodegradable, and the bottles are BPA-free.
For my review I received the Sunny Days SPF 30+ Sunscreen and Hero Stick.
TruKid Review

Sunny Days SPF 30+ Sunscreen

Not only is the Sunny Days Sunscreen all natural, but it has a broad spectrum SPF of 30+, which is definitely what we personally prefer. Because it’s natural and also non-irritating, I can feel good about using it on the kids every day. It has a nice, light scent and a thicker consistency, which helps me (as well as the kids) see where we have put it before we rub it in completely. It rubs in nicely, and doesn’t bother any of their sensory concerns like some lotions do. If lotions are particularly thin or greasy, our younger two children in particular will complain. The Sunny Days Sunscreen, though, rubbed in nicely and didn’t leave a greasy feeling.
TruKid Sunscreen
I also like that my husband can use this sunscreen as well. He does have to be careful about sun exposure, but he’s also very cautious of the chemicals in products. The TruKid Sunny Days Sunscreen is a sunscreen we not only feel good about using for our kids but for him as well!

Hero Stick

The TruKid Hero Stick is an easily portable all natural “boo boo” stick. It has been said many call it “Mom’s Kiss in a Stick.” The Hero Stick can be used on boo boos, bug bites, eczema, and rashes. I have also used it on areas our youngest was complaining of being itchy, and it has helped his itchies, too! This is fantastic because he often feels itchy. Mostly this is because of his sensory sensitivities, so it is so nice to have something he feels is soothing that I can also take with us!
TruKid Hero Stick
Between the three kids, there are also a lot of cuts and scrapes around here, and the Hero Stick really does come in handy! Just swipe it over the boo boo and they’re ready to play again! Sometimes I think they even make up boo boos just to have an excuse to be “treated.” The good news is, with natural ingredients, I feel OK about using it often!
I even use it on my own scrapes and bug bites. I actually react dramatically to bug bites. It doesn’t take long until a basic mosquito bite is really swollen. As long as I keep the itching under control, I can keep it from getting too out of control. The Hero Stick really does soothe my bug bites, which keeps them from flaring up dramatically. It’s definitely something we will always keep on hand!
Overall, I’m really excited that TruKid offers so many products that are safe for the whole family. I’m glad we’re protected from the sun without compromising ingredients in the products and that we have a go-to remedy for boo boos and itchies that can go anywhere with us easily!
TruKid also offers great resources and fun activities for kids like earn a star checklists for using sunscreen regularly on their website!
TruKid products can be purchased on Amazon.
