Sweetly Citron Natural Bug Repellent #naturalbugrepellent


Summer is not that far off and I know the bugs and flies lie waiting for me and my child. For some reason my husband is always spared. I try never to use those chemicals to repel the mosquitoes but some of the natural products don't smell so great. I try to look for an option that works great to keep away those nasty buggies but also smells appealing so we are more likely to really use it regularly.

I was excited to try Sweetly Citron but we still have snow on the ground so I will share with you more at this point about the scent and how it feels on my skin. In a few months I will give you the bug update. Sweetly Citron smells really nice. I love the blend of natural oils including lavender, lemon, citronella and vanilla...some of my faves. This concentrated blend the company shared can repel mosquitoes for up to 2-4 hours. I am really hopeful about that!

I do really like the pleasant scent of Lavender, Lemon, Citronella and Vanilla Extract which work synergistically to keep away the buggies while keeping you smelling fresh. This is a good option to protect against West Nile Virus by repelling mosquitoes, flies, ticks and fleas. I always suggest checking with your personal physician before using any new product like this.

The company shared that Sweetly Citron is highly effective plus it is free of DEET. It is safe for clothing and all your outdoor gear.  It comes in an 8 oz Pump Spray Bottle which will last for a good while. It has a great scent and feels good on my skin. I am looking forward to battling the bugs because I have the right tools with Sweetly Citron.

Wild Naturals Eczema/Psoriasis Shampoo plus Conditioner is a wonderful discovery #wildnaturals


I don't know where you live but this winter was very hard on the skin. My skin can be a little dry but this winter? Holy cow....my hands, my feet and even my scalp got so dry and itchy it was awful. The last thing I wanted to do was resort to chemical options for shampoos so I was really happy to hear that there are natural options that truly work. Wild Naturals line of shampoo and conditioner is a wonderful discovery that is great for kids and adults. This is a totally natural shampoo and conditioner that contains ingredients like Aloe Vera, Manuka Honey and Cehami. I love that it is perfectly pH balanced at 5.5 just like your hair and skin. I feel comfortable knowing that it is safe for sensitive skin and even for children and babies. I always advise checking with your own pediatrician first though just to be sure!
 


This is no watered down drugstore shampoo either. Wild Naturals shampoo has ZERO water added to dilute the key ingredients. Take a peek next time you are in the store and I think you will see what I did. Many commercial shampoos have water listed as the first ingredient. Who knew I was paying all that money for water? This luxurious shampoo is super concentrated so you don't need to use much at all. It is infused with luxurious, natural ingredients that keep your hair and scalp healthy. I have seen a big difference already in about a week. I am so relieved that the itching and dryness has abated plus my hair looks shiny and beautiful.


Chemicals, chemicals, chemicals. Icky, icky icky...at least I think so. As important as what is in a shampoo, what is NOT in it is just as important to me. Wild Naturals shampoo is totally sulfate free, SLS free, paraben free, fragrance and dye-free, preservative free and there are no harsh chemicals in the luxurious formula. That makes me feel even better about using it. It is safe for me to use even with my twice yearly keratin treatments to keep my hair smooth.
 

Some of the key ingredients include the special Manuka "healing" honey. This is an ingredient found only in New Zealand.  They included it because it has anti-bacterial and special healing qualities. Organic aloe vera is the first ingredient. This soothes and moisturizes deep into the skin and scalp. Cehami is another ingredient that is found only in Australia. This helps to naturally relieve itching and redness quickly. Wild Naturals also contains coconut oil extract. This helps to give a little bit of foaminess to the lather which I love. Most natural, sulfate-free shampoos have zero lather. That is nice that Wild Naturals found a way to add that benefit but keep it natural. Vitamin B5 is also included as this is essential for healthy hair and skin. I love that ingredient list and I have to say my hair and scalp loves it too.

Wild Naturals Eczema + Psoriasis Shampoo + Conditioner is great to help relieve scalp and skin conditions.  If you have a dry scalp or even eczema, psoriasis, dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, hair loss, dry hair, or simply red, irritated, itchy, flaky scalp you might want to give it a try and see if it helps you too. Wild Naturals comes in an 8oz Shampoo + 8oz Conditioner set. You can pick up this gentle Wild Naturals Eczema Psoriasis Shampoo plus Conditioner on Amazon for easy shopping anytime.

Brushbrite Replacement Toothbrush heads #Brushbrite



I am quite particular about taking care of my teeth. I brush and floss every day and use my Sonicare toothbrush every single night no matter how tired I am. The thing is, you need to change the toothbrush heads regularly. Branded replacements cost a bundle though. BrushBrite makes a great replacement head that fits perfectly. 

I really have noticed a difference over the years with healthy teeth and gums. There are a lot of other ultrasonic brushes out there but none of them come close to the Sonicare. I even converted my hubby this past year. He used to use another brand of "ultrasonic toothbrush" but even he says that there was no comparison. He loves to use his Sonicare so much he uses it twice a day as well. You need to be good about replacing the brush heads though....every 3 months or so. It is an important part of the cleaning process to change the toothbrush head. The one problem is that those branded toothbrush heads can be quite pricey. It can be a challenge when your goal is to truly protect your teeth and gums though, so up until recently there were no other options. Now we have options thanks to Brushbrite.

I recently had the opportunity to try out Brushbrite toothbrush heads that fit the Sonicare models. Brushbrite uses FDA approved quality materials. The brushheads are very soft and gentle on my teeth. Each Brushbrite brushhead is made from soft Dupont Tynex nylon bristles. The base is constructed from stainless steel covered in plastic. It looks and feels completely similar to the Sonicare brushheads but the cost is significantly less. I can't believe how much I save each time I buy the Brushbrite replacement heads for my Sonicare toothbrush. These are a safe option for everyone in the family.
 

This replacement toothbrush head from Brushbrite fits multiple models including: Sonicare Easy Clean, Sonicare HealthyWhite and Sonicare Flexcare.  These replacement brush heads even have the handy reminder bristles that fade when replacement is needed. It sure makes it easy to replace them in a timely manner for good oral health.  I like the contoured bristle field since it fits the natural shape of my teeth. These are a great budget option that saves me money while allowing me to optimize my daily dental health. You can pick up these replacement toothbrush heads on Amazon for easy shopping anytime.
