Treat Yourself to Spring Indulgence with the Live Clean Spa Therapy Collection-Giveaway

March 30, 2017 by Kathryn 140 Comments

With the winter cold finally coming to an end, I’ve been in the mood for some extra indulgence. I know that hot summer days are just around the corner but for the moment, we’re still dealing with cold nights, freezing winds and a few too many grey days to suit me. Luckily, a little pampering with the Live Clean Spa Therapy line has me feeling relaxed, refreshed and ready to tackle even the gloomiest days with a smile!

The Live Clean Spa Therapy collection consists of body wash, body scrub, dead sea salts, foam bath and body lotion. All the products have a delicious light citrus and ginger scent and are enriched with nourishing ingredients including Aloe Vera, Jojoba Oil and Chamomile. And of course, like all Live Clean products, they’re free of parabens, phthalates, SLS and mineral oil! [Read more…]

Get Your Skin Summer Ready with the Live Clean Coconut Milk Collection-Giveaway

April 30, 2015 by Kathryn 175 Comments

About a month ago I had the chance to review the new Live Clean Coconut Milk Shampoo and Conditioner. I’m a huge fan of coconut so it wasn’t a big surprise that I loved these products. But even if I hadn’t been such a fan, I’m sure I’d still love this shampoo and conditioner since they leave my hair so soft, smooth and manageable! Now, Live Clean is expanding its Coconut Milk line even further with three fabulous new products! New Live Clean Body Wash, Hand Soap and Body Lotion are a treat for your skin that any coconut lover will adore.

I received the three new products to test out and I was pretty excited about it. Coconut Milk is so nourishing and since my skin is quite sensitive, I looked forward to some extra protection and moisturizing. The body wash had a nice foamy texture that cleansed without drying my skin, and when I hopped out of the shower, the lotion locked in moisture and protected my skin while also leaving behind a delicious light coconut scent.

Babies Have Sweeter Nights with Live Clean Baby Calming Bedtime Bubble Bath and Body Lotion-Giveaway

August 25, 2014 by Kathryn 108 Comments

When it comes to helping a baby to sleep through the night, most parents are willing to try anything and I was certainly no exception. From regular routines to soothing music to aromatherapy, I found all kinds of ways to try to maximize my boys’ sleep time. And for me, the most helpful tip I tried was setting a bedtime routine that included a warm bath and a soothing scented lotion.

Of course, I’ve always been a fan of natural products because easily-irritated sensitive skin is so common in our family. And Live Clean Baby was a line that I used even when my boys had reached the preschool and grade school years because its products were free of parabens, phalates, and petroleum while also being 98% plant derived with certified organic botanicals.

Refresh Your Spring Beauty Routine with Simple Homemade Body Scrub and Eucerin

April 24, 2014 by Kathryn 51 Comments

I am a member of the Collective Bias® Social Fabric® Community. This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper amplification for Collective Bias and its advertiser.

I have incredibly soft skin and it’s something that I want to maintain for as long as possible. So I’m quite proactive about making sure that my skin stays healthy and moisturized. Unfortunately, living in Saskatchewan and dealing with its harsh winter weather, that can be difficult to do! This winter was an especially hard one, but it’s finally come to a close and now that it has, I want to step up my beauty routine and ensure that I’m ready to bare a little skin this summer!

Healthy skin is something that I achieve in two simple steps: exfoliating and moisturizing. For exfoliation, I often make my own body scrub using kosher salt or sea salt, olive oil and essential oil. It works great and leaves my skin so smooth. And best of all, it takes just minutes to make! [Read more…]

Scandle Shimmering Body Candle-Review and Giveaway

December 15, 2010 by Kathryn 191 Comments

Holiday Gift for the Hostess or Mother

I love high quality massage products because of the way that they can take a simple massage and turn it into something decadent and extraordinary. In the past, I’ve reviewed sweetly scented massage oils and rich lotions, but I’ve never before tried a massage candle, though I’ve heard that they are quite amazing. When I was given a chance to try out the revolutionary new Shimmering Body Candle from Scandle, I couldn’t resist the opportunity.

I received a Warm Vanilla Sugar Shimmering Body Candle Travel Tin to review. The smell of this candle was absolutely mouthwatering. As soon as I took the lid off the tin the entire room seemed to fill with the scent. “What’s that smell, Mom?” Zackary questioned me eagerly the first time I opened it. “It smells like yummy food!” My husband agreed, completely captivated by the downright edible rich vanilla scent of this candle. I lit it that night to test it out and see exactly how a massage candle worked.

What makes the Scandle massage candle so special is the melting point of the soy wax. Unlike regular candle wax, which gets very hot before it melts, the Scandle wax melts at just two degrees above body temperature so that the melted candle can be applied directly to the skin without risk of injury. I lit the candle, waited about five minutes for the wax to melt enough to reach the edges of the tin and then poured a small amount into the palm of my hands. The wax was pleasantly warm, but completely tolerable and I rubbed the melted wax on my arms to see what kind of results it gave.

The melted soy candle left my arms feeling buttery soft, and the revolutionary touch of shimmer added an amazing glow to my skin. The vanilla scent was sensational, and I was thrilled to learn that all of the ingredients were 100% natural! I really enjoyed the way that the Scandle Shimmering Body Candle served two purposes by providing aroma and ambiance to the room while at the same time providing nourishment and relaxation for my skin. Best of all, the hydration my winter-dry skin received from the melted soy candle was phenomenal!

Scandle Shimmering Body Candles come in eighteen delicious scents and are available in a refillable ceramic container, a convenient travel tin like the one I received and a variety of great travel kits and gift packs. Scandle products would make the perfect pampering gift for a good friend and would also be a great hostess present or romantic gift choice. For a luxurious massage experience and a soothing atmosphere all in one, check out Scandle for yourself!
