A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

Have someone on your list that always seems to have to have the latest and greatest beauty items?Then gift them some of these awesome natural beauty products this holiday season:

Glow-ology Hand Wash & Body wash

Glow-ology® was imagined to inspire women to feel Positively Beautiful. Their luxurious body lotions, refreshing body washes, and gentle hand creams feature skin-nurturing formulas with uplifting scents. Their commitment is to provide women with a complete line of wholesome and natural bath and body products that pamper and improve the appearance of their skin, while indulging the spirit through relaxation and restoration. They are made in the USA from wholesome ingredients and with environmentally safe processes.

My two favorites are the Hand Wash and Body Wash from the Smile Collection!

The mild formula cleans hands leaving them oh-so-soft and smooth. Perfect for frequent use environments. Especially formulated for sensitive skin. Dermatologist-tested.

Smile Body Wash

White tea, chamomile and clover extracts revitalize and gently cleanse the skin. This invidorating formula is enhanced with nourishing allantoin and protective vitamins B5 and E. Dermatologis tested for sensitive skin.

I received the Spring VIP Box and it contains something for everyone! It is filled with uh-mazing, full-size, premium products! From a fitness tool that you can take anywhere to one of the trendiest new accessories around — get ready to spring into style with the FFF VIP spring box!

And my favorites from the VIP Box: 



MERRITHEW MINI STABILITY BALL AND DVD $28.94
Get a workout, and have a ball doing it! This 7.5” Mini Stability Ball is the perfect traveling exercise tool. Just pop in this DVD from The Merrithew Health & Fitness team, and breathe out all the tension while building core stability and creating better posture. Hello, washboard abs!

THE BETTER CHIP SPINACH AND KALE WITH SEA SALT $1.99
A healthy chip? Sounds more fake than an MTV reality show. But guess what? This time it’s for real! Snack smart this spring with these spinach and kale chips sprinkled with sea salt. Made of all-natural, healthy ingredients, these little babies are super tasty on their own, and equally yummy in a healthy homemade dip!

Radiantly You Natural Skincare & Cleaning Products & Giveaway

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.



I have mentioned many, many times how we have consciously changed all our cleaning, personal hygiene, skin care, cosmetic products...pretty much everything we use on a regular basis to products that are safe, natural and free of chemicals, parabens and sulfates!

One of the companies I trust most and use regularly is Radiantly You! They are an up and coming company that provides GMO, Gluten and chemical free organic cleaning and skin care products.

All of their products are made using only the finest organic and natural ingredients. They care deeply about what goes in and on your body! They source as many of our ingredients locally as we can and make sure that everything they use is sustainably sourced. All of their products are Gluten Free, GMO Free, Paraben and Sulfate Free. Only the best for the best!!

We received three great products from Radiantly You:

All Natural Laundry Soap

I am always searching for safe, natural laundry detergents because what we put on our skin and on our clothes gets absorbed so easily! I definitely trust this Laundry Detergent because they list the ingredients right on the bottle and I know ALL the ingredients!

Plus, you can custom choose your Laundry Detergent scent (Unscented,Lavender, Citrus, or Sweet Orange) and enjoy peace of mind knowing it’s chemical free. This laundry detergent is made with all natural, organic ingredients. Great for skin sensitivities and works in HE washers! Bottle is 64 oz. of handmade liquid laundry soap. Bottle washes over 32 loads of laundry!

Cleaning Your Clothes With: Water, Handcrafted Castile Soap, Super Washing Soda, Borax


 Healing Calendula Balm


My children suffer from really dry skin on their cheeks during the winter! So I am always searching for a natural, soothing solution! I have found that in the Healing Calendula Balm! Calendula is the only thing that truly soothes and moisturizes their precious cheeks during the winter! Plus, I LOVE that it is made with organic ingredients!

Problem Skin? Eczema? Psoriasis? Healing Calendula Balm to the rescue! This balm will heal, moisturize and soothe any skin issue. There are so many eczema “treatments” on the market but once you do your research, you realize they are full of chemicals. Not this one!!

Healing you with: Unrefined Shea Butter*, Calendula Infused Pomace (Olive Oil), Beeswax*, Vitamin E

*Certified Organic


Natural Herbal Decongestant
One of my go-to natural solutions during cold/flu season for stuffy noses is herbal decongestants on my children's chests and feet..natural ones like this Natural Herbal Decongestant!

Perfect for year round, this petroleum free, 100% natural vapor salve is safe for the entire family. Great for easing cold/flu symptoms and sinus/respiratory congestion. To apply: Rub thin layer on chest and/or throat. Even massage into the bottoms of the feet or a dab under the nose. For young children, use on chest and throat. For external use only.
