Get Ready for Winter with Live Clean Natural Hand Soap and Body Wash

October 1, 2019 by Kathryn 172 Comments

Fall is here and for me, that means it’s time to stock up on essentials for the cold weather. With two boys in school, I like to make sure I always have plenty of hand soap to help keep cold and flu germs away. And for years now, Live Clean natural hand soap has been my go-to!

Recently, Live Clean sent me a care package of natural hand soap and body wash to help keep our family clean and healthy. I love having a variety of soap to choose from; one of my favourite things about Live Clean Hand Soap is that there’s a formula to suit everyone.

My husband most enjoys the light scent and cleansing of the Fresh Water hand soap, so we keep that one in our en suite. I prefer the sweet aroma and moisturizing of the Monoi Oil hand soap and always have it beside the kitchen sink. And the Coconut Milk hand soap is perfect for the main bathroom; it smells so good that my boys actually get excited to wash their hands!

May 6, 2019 by Kathryn 105 Comments

As much as I love using naturally-sourced products when I can, there are some occasions in which I simply can’t find one that works as well as I want it to.

One of the reasons I love Live Clean products is because I know that anything the company offers is going to work well. From the foaming hand soap to the shampoos and conditioners, Live Clean quality is simply unmatched.

So, when I recently opened a surprise package from the company and saw that Live Clean now offers a vegan deodorant that’s 99% naturally derived, I quite honestly gave a little squeal of delight! I’ve never found a natural deodorant that worked as well as I wanted…but I knew if anyone could get it right, Live Clean could! [Read more…]

When it comes to enjoying some indulgent time at home, I’m a sucker for a relaxing bubble bath. Unwinding in the warm water always helps to melt stress away, and when the bubble bath formula I use has an enticing scent, I get the added benefits of a bit of aromatherapy with my relaxation!

That’s why I’m so excited about the new line of Live Clean Aromatherapy Foam Baths. These three products are designed to make the already-great bubble bath even better with addictive scents to suit every mood: Fresh Water, Tropical Coconut and Lavender Vanilla!

July 3, 2017 by Kathryn 145 Comments

While Canada is gearing up to celebrate its 150th birthday, one of my favourite Canadian companies, Live Clean, is celebrating a birthday of its own! 2017 marks ten years since Live Clean debuted its first six eco-friendly shampoos and conditioners to Canadians and while the product line has expanded, the company’s values have stayed the same for the past decade. Today, the company continues to take pride in providing products that are cruelty-free, free of harmful chemicals and made of locally-sourced, plant-based ingredients.

Over the last few years, I’ve had the chance to try dozens of the products in the Live Clean collection for babies, children, men and women! And it goes without saying that I’ve got a few fast favourites after all my trials and testing. So, in honour of Live Clean’s 10th birthday, I’m sharing my thoughts on the top ten must-try Live Clean products!

Soothe Your Soul with Natural Scents of Avalon Organics Hair and Body Care-Giveaway

June 1, 2017 by Kathryn 119 Comments

There are a lot of things that I love about organic products, but one of my very favourite reasons for choosing organic when possible is the smell. A chemically-created scent is very hit-and-miss for me; some smell great while others make me feel dizzy and nauseous. But the natural scents of organic products never make me feel ill and, even better, consistently smell absolutely amazing!

So, when I was recently introduced to Avalon Organics, an organic line of hair and body care products, and the company recommended I start my testing by opening the bottles and taking a whiff, I knew I was in for a treat. Sure enough, the delicious scent had me captivated and I couldn’t wait to get into the bathroom to test every single product.
