Treat Skin to Gentle Nourishment with the Live Clean Fresh Face Collection-Giveaway

October 28, 2016 by Kathryn 137 Comments

The more my skin starts to mature, the more I need gentle, yet effective cleansing and moisturizing to keep it looking its best. Whether I’m on the go or lounging at home, taking care of my face is always a priority. That’s why I’m so happy that I discovered the Live Clean Fresh Face collection some time ago. The products are gentle, contain organic botanicals and are so effective for revealing skin’s radiance. In fact, the only skincare products I took on my recent two-week trip to Ireland were the ones in the Live Clean Fresh Face travel collection.

So, what makes this skincare line so great? For one thing, it provides thorough cleansing, nourishing moisture and protection against the elements, all without leaving skin feeling greasy or weighed down. Since I get hormonal breakouts, a good lightweight cleanser is a must for me and the Live Clean Fresh Face Foaming Cleanser is ideal. I love the way the foam provides a deep clean without drying out my skin.

Children Will Love Washing Up this Summer with New Live Clean Kids Products-Giveaway

June 17, 2015 by Kathryn 119 Comments

Warm weather is here to stay for another year and that means that my boys are spending a lot of time outdoors now. While I love all the extra physical activity that they’re getting, there’s something else that I have to deal with as a result of all that outdoor play…dirt! Like most kids, Zackary and Benjamin are like magnets for dirt and even though I’m pretty easy-going about kids getting messy, it sometimes amazes even me when I see how dirty my boys have become.

Live Clean products have been a fixture in our house for years; my boys used the Live Clean Baby line as infants and I adore the Live Clean haircare to keep my tresses soft and healthy. Now the company has expanded its products further to include four fabulous Live Clean Kids products just in time for summer fun! The Live Clean Kids Foaming Hand Soap and Body + Hair Wash in Tropical or Mixed Berry scents are an easy and fun way to help kids stay clean.

Treat Baby’s Skin Gently with Live Clean Baby Perfume Free Lotion and Wash-Giveaway

March 31, 2015 by Kathryn 92 Comments

When it came to choosing baby products for my boys, I was pretty picky about what I put on their skin. My family has a history of eczema and allergies, so I didn’t want to risk any potential irritation. That being said, I do love products that have a light, sweet scent. It made finding the perfect baby shampoo and lotion tricky at times, to say the least!

Live Clean Baby has been offering gentle and effective baby care products for years now and its brand new Perfume Free Baby Lotion and Perfume Free Tearless Shampoo & Wash are exactly the type of products that I would have loved for my boys. With no scenting agents, I can rest easy knowing that sensitive skin won’t be irritated by harsh chemicals. But the products still feature a delicious light aroma created using natural extracts of apricot, rosewood, orange peel and vanilla! [Read more…]

Help Care for Your Family’s Sensitive Skin with New Tide Pods Free & Gentle-Giveaway

October 21, 2014 by Kathryn 224 Comments

Skin sensitivity is something that I’ve known quite a bit about ever since I was a child. My younger sister suffered from severe eczema when she was little and used to wake up screaming in the night because she was itching so badly. When we grew up and had our own children, my boys dealt with some mild irritations and allergies of their own and my oldest niece suffered from the same severe eczema as my sister once had.

Needless to say, I’ve done my fair share of research into ways to minimize skin irritation. And if your family ever has negative skin reactions, Canadian dermatologist Dr. Sandy Skotnicki has some great tips to help avoid allergic reactions and other skin sensitivity issues!

Parents and Little Girls Will Both Love the Eco-Friendly Nail Polish from Piggy Paint-Giveaway

November 3, 2013 by Kathryn 189 Comments

One of the gifts that almost every little girl gets excited about is makeup, since it gives younger girls a chance to feel like grown-ups. But so many sets designed for little girls feature cheap, harsh cosmetics that don’t work well and contain questionable ingredients. That’s why I’ve been a long-time fan of Piggy Paint when I’m shopping for my nieces or any other little girls.

Piggy Paint offers kid-friendly nail polishes that are non-toxic, hypoallergenic and eco-friendly. But despite the gentle, water-based formula, the polish still dries to a hard durable finish, so even though it’s ideal for children, it’s a great choice for adults as well!
