Organic Cotton Natracare Panty Liners

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


Today, I am going to talk about something women probably don't think about very often but really should - what is in their feminine hygiene products!

Did you know that feminine hygiene companies don’t have to fully disclose the ingredients of their tampons and pads on their packaging? That’s because they are considered to be “medical devices."

Tampons and pads with odor neutralizers and other artificial fragrances are nothing short of a chemical soup laced with artificial colors, polyester, adhesives, polyethylene (PET), polypropylene, and propylene glycol (PEG), contaminants linked to hormone disruption, cancer, birth defects, dryness, and infertility.

However, we don’t know for sure if they are present, because companies are not required to disclose the ingredients in their products.


See what happens when we light two brands of sanitary pads on fire. The results are shocking!

Join Andrea Donsky and the Naturally Savvy team in putting an end to this breach of public trust by signing the petition to Procter & Gamble, one of the largest producers of feminine hygiene products, urging them to tell us what’s in their sanitary pads and tampons.

Noodle & Boo


This Earth Month, it is really a good idea to celebrate by looking at the skin and hair products you use on your children and yourself and make sure they are safe, natural and eco-friendly!

If you need help switching over, take a look at products from Noodle & Boo, the premier leader in luxury skin and hair care products for newborns, children and “mamas-to-be” is the answer for discerning moms who demand nothing but the very best for themselves and their little ones.

The innovative product line contains sustainable, plant-based ingredients derived from natural resources that won’t harm developing babies or nursing newborns, giving moms the peace of mind they crave. All product formulas are pediatrician and dermatologist tested for sensitive skin to ensure they are safe to use while still delivering outstanding results. In addition, Noodle & Boo products are recyclable, nontoxic and biodegradable, and never tested on animals. Products you can feel good using – inside and out!


Noodle & Boo is committed to creating the highest quality products using the finest ingredients. Ingredients are derived from natural resources and are 'certified organic' when available and safe to use.

  • Phthalates
  • Sulfates
  • PPG's
  • Dyes
  • GMO's
  • Triclosan
  • Formaldehyde Donors

  • Essential Oils
I received two great products from Noodle & Boo: the Baby Balm and the Healthy Hand Wash.


The Baby Balm provides long-lasting moisture and intensive care for extra dry, chapped or chafed skin.
Calendula provides natural soothing and comforting properties for irritated skin. It is ultra-rich and soothing and really soothes my daughter's dry cheeks! Not many products work as well as this Baby Balm for my daughter's face!

  • Ultra-thick cream offers intensive care for severely dry, chapped or chafed skin.
  • Calendula provides soothing and comforting properties for irritated skin.
  • Provides long-lasting moisture.
  • Dermatologist and pediatrician tested; hypoallergenic.

  • 4.5 ounce tube.

The Healthy Hand Wash is gentle wash for little hands. Make good hygiene fun and help keep little ones germ-free and healthy with this safe hand wash. Many soaps out there contain A LOT of harmful ingredients but not this Hand Wash from Noodle & Boo! It is a soap-free formula and is fortified with vitamins A, C and E, which nourish skin between washings. I feel great having this in our bathroom for my son to use all day long!

  • Cleans without stripping natural moisture leaving little hands soft and fresh.
  • Soap-free formula fortified with vitamins A, C and E.
  • Perfect in frequent wash environments.
  • Dermatologist and pediatrician tested; hypoallergenic.

Brush Your Teeth At Work! and Giveaway


I don't leave the house to go to work everyday but I do work at home..and I am sure my family (and my teeth!) would love if I would brush my teeth during the day!

The 3rd annual Brush Your Teeth At Work Day brought to you by ARM & HAMMER Spinbrush ProClean battery-powered toothbrushes occurred on April 19th but I don't think you need a holiday to remember to brush at work! It is not only healthy for your teeth but great for your breath..and I am sure your co-workers appreciate it as well! :)

This annual holiday encourages people to add a third brushing occasion to their day, because whether you're hard at work or a hard-working mom, oral health is important in order to maintain a healthy and white smile.

Sadly, less than half of U.S. office workers keep a toothbrush at the office so that they can give their pearly whites a cleaning during the workday. And if they do have a toothbrush at work, about half of them are not USING them on a daily basis!


To encourage more Americans to add a third brushing occasion to their day, ARM & HAMMER Spinbrush ProClean battery-powered toothbrushes has declared the third annual “Brush Your Teeth At Work Day” for Thursday, April 19, 2012.

There is no greater toothbrush to use and bring to work for your third brush in the day than the Spinbrush ProClean! It provides a more efficient clean than a manual brush, removing up to 70% more plaque in hard-to-reach places! Plus, it is a battery-powered toothbrush so you don't have to worry about keeping it charged or carrying around a cord at work!

So don’t let another year pass until the next national ‘Brush Your Teeth at Work Day’ without pledging to improve your brushing routine! Grab a Spinbrush ProClean toothbrush and find a great spot for it at work!

Win It: Arm & Hammer  is generously offering (1)  "Brush Your Teeth at Work Day" toiletry kit (which includes an Arm & Hammer Spinbrush toothbrush and Arm & Hammer toothpaste) to a lucky winner!
