Review: Pure Body Naturals Peppermint Oil

What is it and how is it used?

This is a 100% pure and natural undiluted essential oil. Peppermint oil has SO many uses, I am only going to name a few. You can put some drops around the doors and windows of your home to keep mice and spiders away, you can place a few drops in your humidifier to help decrease symptoms of a cold(or any type of respiratory distress you may have at the moment), reduce dandruff, and help with migraines. You can also add this oil to your crafts, such as when you make sugar scrubs or candles.

First Impressions

I used a few drops of this oil in the humidifier in my daughter's room when she had a stuffy nose due to teething. I kept the humidifier for a good 2 hours before I had to turn it off, the smell was VERY overwhelming. We kept the humidifier off for the rest of the night and when we woke up the peppermint smell was still in her room, you could actually smell it just from walking by her room. The next night I just placed a cotton ball soaked in the oil in a small container on her dresser. The smell was there, but not as overwhelming. I plan on using this to make some sugar body scrubs and even plan to mix it with some coconut oil to make some scented lip balm. There really are lots of uses for essential oils, I can't wait to add more scents to my collection.

Where can I purchase?

This peppermint oil can be purchased on Amazon for $19.95. Follow this link to purchase.

Review: Baby More Co. wrap carrier

What is it?

This is a wrap carrier and is very similar to the top brands in feel and materiel. If you have a particularly clingy baby or want to practice attachment parenting, the Baby More wrap should be considered. Wraps are amazing if you have other children or household chores to tend to. Placing baby in the wrap will give them the bonding you want, but give you the freedom to get things done with BOTH hands. This wrap is made for a front carry and can easily carry a newborn-toddler(under 32lbs). This product comes in 3 colors, black, pink, and blue. 

How do I use it? 

Before you use a wrap, it's best to practice putting on it on because it is not something you want to throw on and put your baby in before you feel comfortable. I used a stuffed doll to put in the wrap instead of my daughter for the first few uses. 

The wrap does come with instructions, but if you need a visual on how to use the wrap, there are plenty of very informative videos on YouTube showing how to wrap your baby. 

First Impressions

While the wrap is great, I believe my daughter may be too old to enjoy this wrap. I think wraps are better used for under 9 months or before they become more mobile. My daughter is currently 17 months and she was not a total fan of the front carry because to give best support, their arms should be tucked into the carrier with baby. My daughter is more of a fan of a hip carry and we use a ring sling on particularly clingy days. I am looking forward to using this wrap in the future for my next child. I wish I bought this sooner because it would have saved a TON of trouble during the newborn stage. I am going to keep this in mind for future baby shower gifts for my friends and family.

Where can I purchase?

Right now this wrap can be purchased on Amazon for $35.20. With prime, there is no need to wait for your wrap. Follow this link to purchase now!

CLOSED! Review + Giveaway: Thermalabs Self Tanning Towelettes

What is it?

Thermalabs Glow 2 Go is your run of the mill self-tanner towelette. The pack comes with 20 towelettes, more than any other brand on the market. Each towelette last's for half of your body, unlike others who are made to go over your whole body. These towelettes give you quick, even, streak free, and a natural tan in less than 4 hours.

How is it used?

If you have used self tanners before, it's best to start with clean, dry, and exfoliated skin. You simply open the package using the "open here" section to dispense your towelette, rip open the package and rub over your skin. It's that easy! 

First Impressions

I have never used self-tanning towelettes before, i'm more of a tanning lotion type girl. While my results were not what I expected, I think mine was due to user error. There is a learning curve for sure when it comes to towelettes. Please do not get discouraged if you realize you missed a spot, just go over with another towel when you notice and it will even out. You do see some result after 4 hours, but it was best to wait overnight. The pictures I am linking below are after 15 hours.

As you can see, my application was VERY uneven, but the color payoff is great! If I actually applied the product right, I would be thrilled. I'm just glad it's winter so I can wear long pants and sweaters to cover up the uneven application. I will be trying this again in a few weeks to see if I can get the application process down. 

Where can I buy?
