Natural Dental Care with Himalaya Botanique

December 14, 2016 by Emilee Evans

Probably one of the biggest challenges I have as someone who prefers natural products is finding natural dental care products. From wasteful plastic toothbrushes to toothpaste with questionable ingredients, it’s hard to sort through it all and find the ideal products! That is why I was excited to try the natural dental products
offered by Himalaya Herbal Healthcare.
Disclosure: I received this product for free from Moms Meet, May Media Group LLC, who received it directly from the manufacturer. As a Moms Meet blogger, I agree to use this product and post my honest opinion on my blog. The opinions posted are my own.
For my review I received a variety of products from Himalaya Herbal Healthcare – namely a variety of Himalaya Botanique toothpaste as well as a bamboo toothbrush, a sari bag and personal care bag.
Natural Dental Care with Himalaya Botanique
For one, I was impressed that they offer so many varieties of their Himalaya Botanique toothpaste. One of the biggest challenges I have found is I may find a natural toothpaste I like but it’s only available in one or two varieties. The varieties I received to review include: the Complete Care toothpaste in Simply Spearmint, Simply Peppermint, Simply Cinnamon, and Simply Mint as well as the Whitening Complete Care Toothpaste in Simply Mint and Simply Peppermint. They offer basic varieties as well as the whitening toothpaste, which I think is unique. Whitening naturally? Yes, with pineapple and papaya enzymes!
Of course, the biggest thing I appreciate is they don’t have all the questionable ingredients I try to avoid. There is no fluoride, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate or Carrageenan. They are also gluten-free as well. These ingredients are common in many toothpastes. Despite not having SLS, I found they all still “foam” a little bit. You really only need to use a little bit. It does go a long way!
They really have cleaning power, too! My mouth feels so refreshed afterwards! Unfortunately, two of my three children are sensitive to what they call “spicy” toothpaste, which essentially just means they are minty. My 9 year old daughter also loves this toothpaste, though, and often mentions how her teeth and mouth feel so much cleaner after brushing as well.
Himalaya Herbal Healthcare also put a lot of thought into their packaging. The toothpaste packaging is made with 100% recycled material and is printed with soy based inks.
Eco friendly packaging
Overall, I love what Himalaya Herbal Healthcare offers. I love that they offer such a great variety of natural dental products. Even better is that they are effective!

Drink Healthier with this Glass Water Bottle from MIU COLOR

November 24, 2016 by Emilee Evans

More attention has been brought to the fact that a lot of what we use every day isn’t good for us. We’ve also been learning more about what is good for us. When it comes to drink ware, glass is a good, healty option. Glass doesn’t contain harmful chemicals and is easy to disinfect. Plus, if you like to use citrus in your water (like I do), you can be sure it won’t leach.
Disclosure: I received a complimentary product to facilitate my review. Regardless, all opinions are my own. This post contains affiliate links. Please refer to my Disclosure Policy for more information.
MIU COLOR offers a variety of great eco-friendly products. In fact, I had the opportunity to try their foldable picnic blanket as well and loved it!
For my review I received a MIU COLOR 24.5 oz Glass Water Bottle, Nylon Sleeve and two Bottle Brushes.
MIU COLOR Glass Water Bottle
This glass water bottle has a metal lid that twists on and off and isn’t attached to the bottle. It doesn’t leak at all. I can turn it upside down and shake it up without any problems. I, personally, have a love/hate relationship with lids. I love lids that are attached simply for the convenience and knowing I won’t lose it. I also dislike lids that attached because sometimes they just get in the way. I have been using this water bottle as my everyday water bottle for around the house.
This glass water bottle is really easy to clean. It has a fairly wide mouth, though using the bottle brush is best for cleaning it out by hand. I love that glass is healthier and easier to clean, too! I do think the detached lid makes it even easier to clean because the lid itself is easy to clean. So I can feel good knowing everything is thoroughly cleaned each time.
I love the Nylon Sleeve because it adds an extra layer of protection. I think everyone’s biggest concern with glass is the glass breaking. With this sleeve the chance of breaking is reduced. Plus, you may also know glass becomes very hot or very cold with whatever the liquid is. I’m not sure why anybody would choose hot water, but I know many people may choose ice cold water. The sleeve not only helps keep it cold, but you don’t have to worry about your hand getting cold while you’re holding it. It is easy to put on and take off with a simple zipper.

Glass Water Bottle Review

Overall, I do like the MIU Color glass water bottle. It’s great for using around the house, cleans easily and allows me to use citrus in my water. The sleeve offers that level of protection from breakage and makes sure my hands aren’t freezing. Plus, the bottle brushes are very sturdy and definitely ensure the bottle is easy to clean!

GREEMU Beauty Oil {Devonian Review}

April 28, 2016 by Emilee Evans

Emu Oil has a lot of great benefits including benefits to the skin. There hasn’t been a suitable vegan alternative, though. That is why Devonian has developed GREEMU – a blend of plant oils and butters that exhibit the same properties of emu oil. A green alternative to emu oil.
GREEMU Review
As someone who regularly uses green products, I was definitely curious about and interested in the opportunity to try and share my GREEMU review. On top of that, I have problem skin, so I’m always excited to try products that may help improve my skin! I definitely appreciate plant-based products, but I did wonder how it would compare as far as the consistency, color, texture, etc. Although I haven’t used emu oil by itself, I had the blessing of reviewing products that contain emu oil from Koru Naturals. I was excited to see GREEMU is available at Koru Naturals as well!
When I received my 4 fl. oz. bottle of GREEMU, I was looking forward to integrate it into my skin care routine right away. It includes detail descriptions for how it can be used on the skin as well as the hair and scalp. Upon reading the label for the directions, I also noticed one of the ingredients is organic and certified sustainable.
The consistency is a thicker but oily consistency. It is slightly cloudy. It’s noted to start with only a few drops at a time, which I found a little difficult. It does have a standard pour-type cap, so getting just a few drops is a bit of a challenge, but it did come out slowly, so you can get drops rather than a lot at once if you squeeze slowly.
GREEMU Review - Consistency
I, personally, felt there was a learning curve to using just the right amount. I have mostly been using it on my face, and, at first, I tried to only use a few drops total, but I found it wasn’t enough to cover my face. If I use too much, though, it leaves a greasy feeling on my face. It does take quite some time to absorb, but once I got into a routine with the right amount, I no longer had the greasy feeling after it absorbed completely.
I have definitely seen a difference in my skin. Although I haven’t seen much of an improvement with my blemishes, I am so pleased with how it has balanced out my complexion. I have wildly uneven combination skin. The area over my nose and cheeks is usually a little oily and my forehead is extremely dry. When I put on powder foundation, my forehead looks flaky! It’s awful. GREEMU has been great for resolving this! I make sure I put it on right upon waking up so it does have time to fully absorb before putting on makeup, and I don’t have the flaky forehead!

Greemu Review

Overall, although I felt it took about a week or so to get into a routine with when it was best to use it and the best amount for my skin, I was so happy with the results. I think with continued, regular use I will see more benefits as well!

Healthy Home Cleaning with Murchison-Hume #MurchisonHume #MomsMeet

February 23, 2016 by Emilee Evans

Finding cleaners with safe ingredients can definitely be challenging. Although there are more options available, healthier cleaners are generally limited to one or two purposes. Although “All-Purpose” cleaners generally clean most things well, there are definitely exceptions. When I was presented with the opportunity from Moms Meet to review a variety of cleaning from Murchison-Hume, I was excited to try them out!
Safe and Effective Cleaners from Murchison-Hume
Disclosure: I received this product for free from the sponsor of the Moms Meet program, May Media Group LLC, who received it directly from the manufacturer. As a Moms Meet blogger, I agree to use this product and post my opinion on my blog. My opinions do not necessarily reflect the opinions of May Media Group LLC or the manufacturer of this product.
Murchison-Hume was created by a mom who was concerned about ingredients in common household cleaning products when her son developed allergic sensitivities. Former Fashion Editor and mother of two, Max Kater made it her mission to create cleaning and personal care products that would be safe, easy to use, beautiful, and effective. All of their ingredients are of the highest quality and are 99% or more natural and are always free of ammonias, bleach, dyes, formaldehyde, parabens, and phthalates. Their formulations are designed to be highly effective, while maintaining product safety and stability.
As an eco-friendly consumer, I can definitely appreciate everything Murchison-Hume has to offer. Here are just a few of the great features:

  • They are made in the USA.
  • They rapidly biodegrade into harmless by-products after drain disposal.
  • They can be used on any surface not harmed by water.
  • They never test on animals and are 100% Cruelty Free.
  • They are powerful, natural germ fighters that also eliminate odors without the use of harsh chemicals.
  • Refill and Bulk Buy options are available, and can be delivered right to your door at significant savings every day.

For my review I received the Murchison-Hume Home Starter Kit which retails for $59 and includes:

  • Boys’ Bathroom Cleaner (If you select Original Fig) OR Ladies’ Bathroom Cleaner (If you select Australian White Grapefruit) – I received the Ladies’ Bathroom Cleaner
  • Premium Glass Cleaner (Fragrance-Free)
  • Everyday Furniture & Upholstery Cleaner
  • Effortless Floor Cleaner
  • Spit & Polish Stainless Steel Cleaner (Fragrance-Free)
  • Counter Safe All-Purpose Cleaner
  • (1) Murchison-Hume Jute Tote

Murchison-Hume Home Starter Kit
I love the variety and love that it includes such a great tote! The one thing that I was most excited about is the fact that there really is such a variety. I truly am used to two options – all-purpose and glass. Now I was presented with so many options I got so giddy I had to tell my husband all about it!
A floor cleaner? We have all hard floors, and this is something that is so appreciated! When they say effortless, they really mean it! With kids and pets, I am constantly cleaning up messes, and it has become so much easier! Everyday Upholstery? Stainless Steel Cleaner? These are things a typical “All-Purpose Cleaner” just can’t cover.
I have found the cleaners to be easy to use, and I have really found all of them to be effective. As a homemaker concerned about natural ingredients, the Murchison-Hume products have really filled a void in our home. Our bathroom smells wonderful, and the mirrors are clean and streak-free. The floor spills are a quick clean up with no fuss. The kitchen counters look great, and the furniture is easy to clean now, too. There really isn’t anything missing from the Home Starter Kit! The bottles just look sharp, too!
Murchison-Hume Cleaners
Overall, I have been so pleased by the Murchison-Hume cleaners. I love that I’m able to clean our whole home using products that are safe as well as effective. I love that they offer fragrance options and such a variety of products, so I can take care of my whole home and do so safely.
In addition to the great home cleaners, Murchison-Hume has a dog care line. “Best in Show” products are scented with essential oils that keep your fur babies naturally pest free without the use of synthetic fragrances or silicone!
