I have heard so many great things about coconut oil that I have been wanting to try it, so I was very excited at the opportunity to review Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil. Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil is certified organic according to strict USDA requirements. It is also hand-made in the Philippines the traditional way. This sets it apart from others. Find out more about what makes Tropical Traditins Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil different:

I love that it is not mass-marketed and USDA certified organic. That tells me they are serious about making a high-quality product!
coconut oilYou can use coconut oil for so many things – cooking, bath and body care products, for your pets, to polish furniture, and the list goes on! There really are SO many uses for coconut oil! I haven’t had a chance to try it out for everything I’d like to, but I have enjoyed using it in my cooking, and my family has enjoyed it as well! You can look up recipes using coconut oil or, what I did was simply substitute coconut oil for other oils. It’s really simple to do! You just need to heat up the coconut oil a little if it has solidified. Otherwise, I would just substitute the same amount, and it worked great! One of my favorite was a gluten free, dairy free cornbread. I had been wanting to make it, but I couldn’t fathom using that much oil. I felt so much better using the coconut oil instead, and we all enjoyed the cornbread!
Here is more information on How to Use Coconut Oil.
Although I have yet to use the coconut oil in any of my own bath and body care product recipes, many of the natural products I use have it in them, so when things start to settle down I’m definitely going to be putting it to use in bath and body care products as well – not just for myself, but for the whole family – including the pets!

Whitening Lightning Review

July 1, 2013 by Emilee Evans


teeth whitening
I received the Dial A Smile: Zero White Professional Home Teeth Whitening System to review. The biggest feature that drew me to this teeth whitening system is that it is eco-friendly and uses no peroxide. The biggest concern that has kept me from using a teeth whitening system is the ingredients as well as the peroxide. On top of that I have many dental concerns, which would make using most teeth whitening systems very painful. Plus, who wants to deal with that mess? Well, this teeth whitening system seems to have covered all of those bases. It offers an eco-friendly solution with botanical ingredients that are still effective without being harsh on sensitive teeth. They also offer a solution without the mess. There are no trays or strips to throw away! It definitely sounded appealing to me, so I was eager to try it!
teeth whiteningWhen it arrived I looked over the ingredients and was definitely pleased. The kit comes with a Handheld LED Light, Gel Syringe, Dispensing Tub, Applicator Brush, tooth wipes, and a shade dial so you can compare your results. I did opt not to use the tooth wipes that come with the kit because they contain ingredients that aren’t eco-friendly, but it was still possible to use the system without the tooth wipes. I just made sure my teeth were clean and dry before applying the gel. To use you simply squeeze some of the gel into the dispensing tub and apply to your teeth with the applicator brush. You hold the light up to your teeth for 20 minutes, and that’s it! When finished you just rinse everything off and brush your teeth. No mess, no big fuss!
On first application, I applied it liberally, which wasn’t a good idea. Unfortunately, my tooth sensitivity I think is beyond the “normal” definition of sensitive teeth, and it hurt quite a bit. I think I was so excited over the fact that this teeth whitener is made for sensitive teeth that I forgot I have issues beyond just sensitive teeth. The dentists (or doctors) aren’t sure what is causing said dental issues, but they are presuming it is either genetic and/or medical. Regardless, I have weak areas in my teeth – particularly near my gums where they have receded and have exposed these weak areas. I did eventually get the light up to my teeth and despite the initial sting I was able to make it through the 20 minutes. I started on the shade dial around an 8 (I drink a lot of coffee and tea) and was closer to a 5 when I was finished. In just that one application! I would say it was worth it!
I felt it wouldn’t be a fair review to base it on that first application alone, though, as I felt I didn’t really think it through. So, I waited a few days and applied it again this time paying careful attention not to apply it close to my gum line and the weak spots. This was a much better plan! I had no problems with the application this time and again noticed quite a difference when finished. My husband noticed a difference, too! One thing that was really impressive to me is that I have two crowns that are next to my front two teeth, so they are porcelain crowns that were made to be the same shade as my teeth. They have changed shades over time (I have had them since I got my braces off back in high school), and before I had totally given up on whitening products (and before I cared about ingredients) one of the biggest problems I had was the crowns wouldn’t whiten in the same manner as my teeth, and it looked so unnatural! I was really pleased that with the Whitening Lightning system that this was not the case! The crowns and my teeth started at about the same shade, and they finished at the same shade as well! Perfect!
whitening penAs an added bonus the kit also includes a Zero White Whitening Pen to help maintain and even further the whitening process. It can be used at any time, and you simply just apply it, smile for 60 sec, then brush your teeth several hours later! It’s extremely easy and convenient to use! It says each pen can be used for up to 15 applications.
Overall, I’m glad I gave the Whitening Lightning Dial A Smile: Zero White Professional Home Teeth Whitening System a second chance because I am really happy with the results, and I love that it uses natural ingredients and no peroxide!

Zeta Wrap Review

June 12, 2013 by Emilee Evans

wrap

I received the Zeta Universal Wrap for review. The Zeta Universal Wrap is a support wrap that can be used on any part needing support up to a 20″ circumference. It is recommended most for wrist, bicep, or tricep discomfort. I have been having particular discomfort with my wrists lately, so I knew that is what I would be using it on for my review. The wrap is very easy to put on even with one hand. It has elastic for flexibility, but it is also secure for support. It is soft and comfortable. As it mentioned, it has a gentle warming effect. I have to admit I looked it over a few times to figure out how that works because I’m just curious about that sort of thing. All I know is that it does, and it is helpful!

wrist wrap

I have worn the Zeta Universal Wrap on my left wrist, which is the one that has been the most troublesome, while doing my everyday housework as well as doing things here on the computer because oftentimes it acts up while I’m typing as well. I was able to wear it for long periods of time without feeling too limited (other products I’ve tried have been big and bulky) but still feeling like I had support. Between the warmth and support I definitely felt relief in my wrist. I noticed that I felt relief both while I was performing household tasks and while I was typing on the computer, so the wrap has been good for my wrist all around! As I mentioned, it’s a nice change from the bulky alternatives, and that little bit of warmth makes a difference!

Introducing Luxuriously Soft!

June 12, 2013 by Emilee Evans

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of White Cloud for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Please see my Disclosure Policy for more information.

When you hear "Luxuriously Soft" that just sounds great, right? Well, what about a Luxuriously Soft bath tissue? Well, here it is! White Cloud has introduced their Luxuriously Soft Bath Tissue. I am REALLY picky about my bath tissue, so when I heard the words "Luxuriously Soft" I knew I had to try it!  They use an innovative manufacturing technology called "TAD" or "Through Air Dried." It uses a special machine to blow air through single-ply sheets, creating a two-ply product with amazing thickness, softness, strength and absorption. Sounds pretty neat, right? With this super-premium technology they are able to create quality paper products without the premium price!

So what did I think? Here are my thoughts!

 

That's right! I only used ONE brand prior to trying White Cloud's new Luxuriously Soft tissue, and I have to admit it drove my husband rather crazy because he doesn't like my previous brand very much! It is pretty pricey and not very strong. White Cloud Luxuriously Soft was something we both agree on, which is another great benefit! I have to admit, I was skeptical because I really am THAT picky about my bath tissue, but I am really pleased with White Cloud Luxuriously Soft, and I'm glad it's something that works for our whole family!
