American Made Cleaning Products from EverydayHappy

January 6, 2016 by Emilee Evans

You know how we love natural products. I was so excited to be introduced to EverydayHappy and shared what we thought of their personal care products in our EverydayHappy review and am so glad to review and share our thoughts on their American Made Cleaning products as well!
Disclosure: I received complimentary products to facilitate my EverydayHappy review. Regardless, all opinions are my own and those of my family. This post contains affiliate links.
EverydayHappy Cleaning Products
EverydayHappy offers a variety of great Eco-Friendly Family Products, and the best part is they are delivered right to your door each month. I don’t know about you, but I love simplicity, and getting products we use regularly right to our door is a great option! It’s a great option for any busy parent! EverydayHappy is on a mission is to make every day happy. In fact, they offer a Free Trial, and you only have to pay shipping! It’s not only a great opportunity to try the EverydayHappy products, but also to decide what kit is right for your family!
For our review we received EverydayHappy Home Care products including:

  • All-Purpose Cleaner 16 Oz
  • All-Glass Cleaner 16 Oz
  • Power Sponge

EverydayHappy American Made Cleaning Products
Although I was eager to try all of the products, I was especially excited to try the Power Sponge. Obviously, we have worked hard to rid our house of the chemicals, but finding a good cleaning sponge has been, well, impossible. I just haven’t found one like it. Other options I’ve tried in the past didn’t really fit my eco-friendly lifestyle and made my hands feel raw and irritated. I know, I know, they don’t mention having anything in them, but the sponges themselves contain formaldehyde, so I was so glad to try a sponge that is formaldehyde free!
The Power Sponge is a plain white sponge, and it works with water alone. So it’s not only great that you don’t have to use any chemicals, but it’s extremely convenient as well! I love that I can use it on anything from the sinks and tub to the walls and even floor. Scrubbing is hard on my hands, in general, so I also appreciate that I don’t have to scrub very hard!
EverydayHappy Power Sponge
The All-Purpose and All-Glass cleaners are both plant based and are also biodegradable, vegan and cruelty free. Of course, they’re also free of other harsh ingredients and chemical preservatives. They are both clear with a nice, light citrus scent. Simply spray and wipe. They both clean well and I particularly love that the All-Glass Cleaner doesn’t leave streaks!

American Made Cleaning Products

Overall, I have been impressed the EverydayHappy Home Care products. I love the care they take into offering natural products for families so we can clean our house with peace of mind. Additionally they have partnered with UNICEF to help those in need, which I think is amazing! Of course, I also love that they are American made!

Spark of Amber Review

August 15, 2013 by Emilee Evans

Amber jewelry

I received an adult Baltic Amber necklace from Spark of Amber for review. Spark of Amber sells all natural Baltic Amber teething jewelry (necklaces and bracelets) and also 100% natural Baltic Amber jewelry for adults. They offer a wide variety of beautiful Baltic Amber products such as: necklaces, anklets, pendants, earrings, bracelets, rings, and more from the best Amber from Lithuania and the Baltic region!
I have always heard of the benefits of Amber jewelry as well as the importance of making sure they are from a great source. So when I was excited to not only see all of the variety Spark of Amber offers as well as their source. I do regret we didn’t have a chance to try a teething necklace when the kids were younger! Regardless, I know Amber jewelry has benefits for adults as well – not to mention it looks lovely. I received my RAW Baltic Amber necklace and fell in love! Even the closure is Amber! It simply screws together and is very well built. I am very impressed by the quality. It is very light, and I barely notice I have it on!

Plus, it is so versatile. I can wear my Amber necklace with just about anything, which means I can reap the benefits and still be stylish as well! It is only 17″ so it is also the perfect fit where it looks nice, doesn’t dangle or get in the way. The color varies with each piece, which lets me know it truly is natural! I cannot attest to the benefits yet, but I am sure as I continue to wear it I will notice the difference!
I am really impressed by the variety of products offered by Spark of Amber and extremely happy with the quality of my necklace. Spark of Amber ships all of their items FREE in the US via First Class mail plus they ship them within 3 business days! I was surprised how quickly I received mine!

Indie Lee Review

June 8, 2012 by Emilee Evans

Disclosure: I received free product(s) to facilitate a review on my website. This does not affect my opinion/review of the product(s). I share my honest opinion on products I feel will benefit my readers. My opinions are my own and may differ from your opinions. For more information please see my Disclosure Policy.
I was recently contacted by one of my readers (thank-you!) who noticed I do reviews for natural products and suggested I check out Indie Lee. I love learning about other natural products and continue to get excited when I see more awareness being spread about good ingredients and ingredients to avoid, and when I visited Indie Lee’s Website the first thing that stood out to me was this was not just a place to shop for natural products it also had a lot of educational value!
She is not only very informative on the good ingredients as well as ingredients to avoid she adds even more to her learning center by including wonderful Resources as well as tutorials on how to make your own natural products! I was just overall amazed by her website and so excited to have been introduced to it! I explored the whole site! I discovered her story and her mission to natural products began after having been diagnosed with a brain tumor. Our journey for natural products also began with cancer – my husband’s. I appreciate her passion for education, awareness, and overall natural beauty!
When I contacted Indie Lee I was given a choice of what product(s) I would like to try! Wow! It was so hard to choose! There are just so many wonderful products available! We had a pressing problem, though – our toddler was constantly battling a red bottom! When I saw there was a Diaper Balm, I knew I wanted to try it! The ingredients also appeared to be cloth diaper friendly! There are so many diaper treatments out there that are supposed to be cloth diaper friendly, but I still find myself using liners or just fully using disposables while it clears up. This just isn’t ideal for me, but I wanted to try everything! Not only that, but everything I had been trying wasn’t working!
Was it a yeast rash? No, the anti-fungal creams weren’t helping either! He just has super sensitive skin! I noticed the Diaper Balm didn’t have any claims to help diaper rash rather just apply between diaper changes, so I honestly didn’t know what to expect, but with ingredients that natural I knew I had to try it!

When I got the package – I was SO excited! I couldn’t wait to open it! I was also sent a couple of wonderful product to try for myself. The first thing that caught my eye was the beautiful packaging! I was excited to try everything! I tried the Diaper Balm immediately that night. I was very pleased with the balm consistency because, let’s face it, those creams can get out of hand! They’re messy, don’t generally smell good, and hard to wash off. This balm was not messy, easy to apply, smelled good, and didn’t leave a residue on my hands. I was about to put it to a BIG test, though! Night time is obviously hard when your toddler has irritation in the diaper area because they wear that diaper for a longer period of time. Wouldn’t you know he woke up and WASN’T RED!
I admit I was a little shocked! Because our toddler also has sensory concerns the irritation is pure torture for him. It was breaking my heart that he cried every time I changed his diaper! So not only was he not red, but I also didn’t have to fight him during a diaper change and feel horrible knowing he was hurting so much! Not only has it been wonderful for keeping his diaper area free of irritation I did not experience a single leak with our cloth diapers! Again, something I hadn’t experienced before. Even most “cloth diaper safe” creams caused a little bit of repelling, so I was extremely excited! What a pleasant experience!
The other products I got to try for myself were the Coconut Citrus Body Scrub and Lavender Moisturizing Oil. I have purchased natural Body Scrubs in the past, and although I appreciated the ingredients the consistency hasn’t always been desirable. Sometimes I loved the consistency of the Body Scrub, and the light Coconut Citrus scent was wonderful! The moisturizing oil glides on nicely and has the wonderful lavender scent – my favorite scent! πŸ™‚ It makes my skin feel so soft!

I am so excited to have found not only these wonderful natural products but also the wealth of information she has put on her website! Thank-you, Indie Lee, for this wonderful opportunity to review your products and sharing your passion and all the wonderful resources!

Announcement and giveaway *Giveaway CLOSED*

March 13, 2012 by Emilee Evans

OK, it’s time for the next giveaway – my own! I haven’t yet shared this one here, and I will be posting another under construction page with my link soon! I will eventually add content to my business pages instead of just the link to my websites with those companies, but with that big Expo coming up I have to make sure I’m totally prepared. Ultimately, though, I will always direct you to the websites provided by the companies because THAT is where you will get the most information and be able to purchase products. πŸ™‚
So I know I’ve mentioned I have Fibromyalgia – a chronic pain disorder with chronic fatigue. A year and half ago I discovered what better nutrition and fitness could do for natural management! I started drinking a whole foods shake regularly, and it made a world of difference! I started watching more documentaries about nutrition such as Food, Inc., Food Matters, King Corn, Forks Over Knives, etc. It was all so eye opening! I also started learning more about what super foods can do for us! After my husband got cancer we also became more aware of what we were eating and how we were overall caring for ourselves (more on this later)! I was so excited because I finally felt like I “got my life back.” I stopped taking medications I was taking for the pain, which was such a blessing because who wants to take a lot of medication? I wasn’t completely void of flareups because it is a chronic condition, and there are still flare-ups but nothing like I used to have. I was convinced I would have to use a wheelchair on some days because my legs hurt so badly I could barely walk! Now I’m not only back to “normal,” but I’m working on building up to the fitness level I was prior to having 3 kids! It’s been an exciting journey!
There was something that was still plaguing me – chronic headaches almost daily. I looked again to my nutrition first since I was now aware of how it can affect you. To be honest it wasn’t perfect, but it was MUCH improved. I started cutting out certain things that I knew were triggers and looked at ingredients more closely. Do you know how many products contain artificial sweeteners like Sucralose? Yikes, it’s a BIG trigger for me! I made sure I was staying away from the artificial sweeteners, preservatives, etc. to no avail. I turned to my friends with Fibromyalgia to see if chronic headaches plagued them as well and how they handle it. I went to the doctors and they simply said they’re tension headaches with a “migraine-like component.” I started a supplement of D-Ribose in hopes that it would help (because I was assuming the headaches were related to the FMS), and I noticed I was having even fewer flare-ups, so it’s definitely something I recommend for people with chronic pain. My headaches, though, still persisted. I tried other natural products with super foods, anti-inflammatory supplements, etc., still nothing. I was convinced it was just the one thing that I really would “have to live with.” I happened to notice a post in a networking group I was in on Facebook about a company that sells whole food supplements. I looked more into it (because I’m always interested in looking into whole food supplements and super foods), and I was intrigued by a product called Inspirin. I read the testimonials, watched the video, read the ingredients, etc. Wow, did it look impressive! It had the key D-Ribose I was looking to continue in my daily routine as well as a wonderful list of ingredients. With anything I figured it wouldn’t hurt to try it! If it doesn’t help my flare ups or headaches I will still get a big dose of nutrition. Visit this link for the full information on Inspirin. There is a brochure, testimonials, etc.
 
Antioxidants, Essential Fatty Acids, Amino Acids, our secret Virtual Massage blend, all in a convenient single-serving Whole Food Delivery!
Whole juicy Raspberry puree, Blackberry puree, Resveratrol from Grapes, Essential Oil of Black Cumin Seed, Essential Oil of Black Raspberry Seed, Hulled Hemp Seeds and Marine Phytoplankton all carry our secret Virtual Massage blend!
Hence… Lose the stress, Ease the pain!
No embalming fluids! INSPIRIN is naturally preserved!
Make Health a Habit, Not an Event… Pleasurable!
 
So, the news? Yes, I am now an Independent Distributor for Forever Green! What a difference it made for my headaches! The ONLY thing that has ever helped! I ran out of the Inspirin before I thought to order more, and I was plagued with the horrendous headaches again, so I knew it was no coincidence! I have it on auto-ship now, so I won’t have to experience that again! haha When a product has helped that much it was natural that I would want to share it, so now I will! πŸ™‚ (And it didn’t cost anything to become a Distributor! Bonus!!) Forever Green also offers other great whole food supplements and nutrition products, essential oils, natural beauty, personal and household care products.
