Switch to Natural & Safe Household Products (Without Breaking the Bank!) with @RadiantlyYou!

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

I have come a long way in my journey to be a more natural mother and a more natural family in the last six years. Six years ago before my first child I wouldn't read ingredients, had no idea about high fructose corn syrup, artificial colors, phthalates, triclosan, chlorine, SLS and other harmful and toxic ingredients in common foods, body care and household supplies.

Now, I read every label on every item from food to household supplies to body care products. I know what to look out for and I know what companies make quality products that are safe for my family and for our health.

One of those companies I have trusted for a few years now is Radiantly You.

Radiantly You's most important purpose is to bring awareness to the chemicals used and their effects on our bodies - offering a cost-effective, healthier alternative for those ready to switch. Radiantly You is proud to be a family-owned business. Built literally from the kitchen (and garage) of the Brown family, RY now operates in Western New York, maintaining the integrity of handcrafted products at a much larger scale.

I love that the ingredients of every product are right on the product and I know every ingredient that is included. I also love that the products are not expensive so it makes it easy to switch to a healthy lifestyle! Check out some of my favorites below:

All Natural Laundry Soap

Custom choose your laundry detergent scent (Lavender, Sweet Orange and Unscented) and enjoy peace of mind knowing it's chemical free. This laundry detergent is made with all natural, organic ingredients. Perfect for skin sensitivities and works in HE washers! One bottle washes over 32 loads of laundry.

I love the sweet orange smell of this laundry soap and even more I love that the label is displayed and isn't about 100 ingredients long! I know each ingredient, I trust each ingredient and I love using this soap to clean our laundry!

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.

Let me tell you something...I have been using this Natural Herbal Decongestant for my kids and us parents for YEARS whenever there is a stuffy nose, cold or cough in our house and it works wonders! I apply it to the chest and feet and my children sleep so much better at night when they are sick! It is one of my favorite products!

Essential Oil Bug Away

Keep those nasty bugs away naturally! Effective against ticks too! Chemical, toxin and DEET free.

One thing we learned last summer in our new house is we have a lot of bugs and mosquitoes in our backyard which can make it hard for the children to enjoy themselves outside! I have been searching for a safe and effective bug spray and I have found it with this one! 

Hand Soap

Wash away the grit, grime and grease powerfully with the awesome scent of Grapefruit and Lemon while knowing that no toxins are going down the drain with it!

With winter germs in full force, I am constantly stocking the soap in our house to ensure the germs don't get the best of us! I love the scents of these soaps and it makes washing hands several times a day enjoyable! :) The lack of toxic ingredients helps too!

So if you are looking to switch to natural and safe products in your house, check out Radiantly You products! They are ones you can trust and they won't break the bank!

NEW Non-Toxic SOPHi Nail Polish & Giveaway

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

My daughter LOVES painting her toenails and fingernails! She is getting so excited because next week she is the flower girl in a wedding and she can't wait to get her fingernails and toenails painted for it! It is a great bonding activity for mommy and her and she loves to look like "a big girl"!

My favorite brand of kids' nail polish (and the only one I use on my daughter!) is Piggy Paint! It is all natural, non-toxic, SAFE, eco-friendly nail polish for kids and the only one I trust on my precious daughter's nails!

But have you heard the GREAT NEWS???!! 

Piggy Paint has recently introduced their brand new line of nail polish for adults: SOPHi by Piggy Paint is non-toxic, odorless, hypoallergenic, vegan and cruelty-free, and it is proudly made in the USA. It is just like the Piggy Paint used by kids, but it comes in rich, SOPHisticated colors for women. (We LOVE using Piggy Paint and SOPHi together for mommy/daughter time!)

This line for adults allows health-conscious women to have a worry-free manicure with no smelly chemicals. Better than 3 Free, better than 5 Free, SOPHi is a natural nail polish that is non-toxic, odorless, and hypoallergenic. This advanced water-based formula provides a safer alternative to chemical-laden solvent-based polish.

To be honest, I liked using my daughter's Piggy Paint polishes before because I loved how safe they were for me too! But I AM SO HAPPY to have more sophisticated colors to choose from with SOPHi nail polishes!!

For maximum durability, SOPHi is also launching their PRIME + SHINE + SEAL System. This revolutionary Primer + Sealer in one is a must-have for chip resistance, and the Shine Topcoat offers additional scratch resistance. When applied with SOPHi's 4 step system (Prime + Color + Shine + Seal), this water-based formula easily competes with standard nail polish durability. Though this polish can be removed with any standard remover, SOPHi offers an acetone-free, low odor Remover Gel that stays in place on the nail for easy removal.

As if that is not enough, you can also count on SOPHi nail polish to not cause nails to yellow or become brittle. Being that it is virtually odorless, busy jet-setters can enjoy painting their nails on the run.

Best of all, it is proudly made in the U.S.A., is vegan and cruelty-free, and is non-flammable, and contains no formaldehyde, toluene, phthalates, bisphenol A (BPA), or ethyl acetate.

It doesn't get much better than that!!! They care about our country, they care about our health and they are about our little one's health!!!

Check out some of the products from Seventh Generation that have a place in my house and are used often!

Conquering stubborn stains is easier than you think! Their safe & effective formula quickly cleans your bowl without creating harsh fumes.

This toilet bowl cleaner cleans as well, if not better, then other more toxic options, and I don't have to worry about the smell, chemicals, or other harmful ingredients when I am doing the already nasty task of cleaning toilets! :)

The unbleached and chlorine free Baby Diapers are better for baby's skin because they contain absolutely no fragrances, latex or petroleum-based lotions are hypoallergenic and made with an ultra-absorbent, natural brown core fiber.
