Sponsor Spotlight :: Jenuinely Pure

I'm excited to share this product with you.  I was able to try out Jenuinely Pure's bar soaps and just love them!  You probably already know how much I love natural homemade soaps made with pure & natural ingredients.  Jenuinely Pure soaps are exactly that!

I tried both the vanilla bean and pink grapefruit scents & I love them both!  The scent isn't overly powerful but gentle & wonderful.  I've never been one to like strong scents and perfume-y smells, these soaps have just the perfect amount of scents!  My husband likes them too!

They lather really well and leave your hands feeling moisturized yet clean!  They don't leave your hands dried out and are made from pure ingredients.

Pink Grapefruit: Distilled water, saponified oils of olea europaea (olive), organic cocos nucifera (coconut) and organic elaeis guineensis (palm fruit),confectioner’s sugar, ground paprika, citrus paradise (grapefruit) essential oil

Vanilla Bean: Distilled water, saponified oils of olea europaea (olive), organic cocos nucifera (coconut) and organic elaeis guineensis(palm fruit), vanilla planifolia (vanilla bean) powder, natural vanilla oil

Plain Jane Laundry Soap Review & Giveaway!

I am excited to share with you Plain Jane Laundry Soap!  I was sent 1 pound of this great laundry detergent to try on my own laundry.  My clothes turned out clean and fresh smelling every time.  I love how little detergent is needed in each load to get your clothes clean, only about 1TBS.  I even had great results with my cloth diapers (big plus!)!

Karen @ Plain Jane Soaps sent me 1 pound of her laundry detergent for hard water (we don't have a water softener so she recommends getting the one for hard water) and a sample of her Green Tea Sugar Scrub!

The laundry detergent has very pure ingredients and is safe for you and the environment.  Due to allergies and skin sensitivities I have to be sure to use only Natural and Non-Toxic cleaners and skin care products in our home.  Making sure our laundry is washed in natural detergent is very important here.

My husband is very sensitive to smells and he has really bad allergies, this detergent seems to bother him just a tiny bit when first opened but he hasn't been bothered yet by the clothes washed in it or anything.  He just stays out of the laundry room when I use it and has no problems! :)  Possibly this is due to him just not being used to our laundry detergent having a scent and not being used to the natural scent of this new detergent. :)  It hasn't bothered his skin at all so we're not worried about using it for his laundry.
 

The Green Tea Sugar Scrub is great! Softening and perfect for someone who's hands dry out from everyday work, working in the garden, sewing, etc!  It smells great too! :) It's just sugar, green tea, vitamin E, Sweet Almond Oil, along with just a little handmade soap.

You can purchase directly from Plain Jane on Etsy here.  Karen also has 2 other Etsy shops that I'm sure you'd enjoy browsing: Cotton Spice - selling PDF patterns of her own original embroidery patterns & Pretty Jane Dresses - selling little girls clothes, jewelry, and various things of interest to Mom's and Grandma's!  You can read Karen's blog here too!

Come back between January 16th - 30th to enter a giveaway for 3 pounds of Plain Jane Laundry Detergent and 1 jar of Green Tea Sugar Scrub during the Green Resolutions Giveaway Hop!!  Hope to see you there! :)

Dragonfly Soaps Review {And Giveaway!}

Dragonfly Soaps!

I love these soaps!  Made with pure ingredients these soaps leave your skin feeling clean and moisturized!  For this review I chose to try the Mango Rose & Tangerine Moisturizer Bars.

I loved both scents! I was most curious on how I'd like the Mango Rose one as I'm very sensitive to perfume smells and soaps scented with rose normally have a very strong smell.  Most perfumes give me a headache and make me stuffy. I was surprised at how much I liked the Mango Rose - I think the Mango in it really made it great and the rose added a feminine touch to it.

The tangerine moisturizing bar was a great option too!  This scent is under their "almost edibles" collection and that's oh so true!

Dragonfly Soaps make all their soaps with pure ingredients and each is hand cut and packaged.  They have soap for the whole family and everyone's needs!

• Unscented Soaps which include baby soaps. 
• Earthy & Mysterious Soaps - I think the Winterspice Soap would be great to try!
• Workhorse Soaps - for the men in our lives as well as the rest of us. :)
• Almost Edibles - There are so many in this collection that I'd love to try.  They look so great!  I'd love to try the Oatmeal Almond Soap
• Lavender & Flowers Collection - soaps made from your favorite flowers!

Dragonfly Soaps sell for $5.00 per bar which is great for homemade high quality soaps.  Dragonfly Soaps have kindly offered to giveaway some soaps to one of my readers!  3 soaps in your choices of scent, yay!!  To enter this giveaway simply follow the guidelines in the Rafflecopter form below!
