Treat Skin to the Soothing Scent of New Live Clean Vanilla Oatmeal Products-Giveaway

September 16, 2016 by Kathryn 128 Comments

When it comes to appealing scents for body care products, I’ve always been in love with vanilla. The sweet, soothing aroma creates the perfect relaxing experience whether I’m scrubbing up in the shower, softening my skin with lotion or even just washing my hands before cooking supper. And when I can enjoy that scent without exposing my skin to parabens, phthalates or harsh chemicals, I’m one happy woman! That’s why I’m so excited about the newest Live Clean body care products: Live Clean Vanilla Oatmeal Soothing Body Wash and Liquid Hand Soap!

The smell of both of these products is absolutely decadent and I especially loved using the hand soap since it left my hands feeling soft and nourished. The oatmeal provides gentle cleansing while also helping to soften and moisturize hands, and the Vitamin E and organic botanicals help nourish for the healthiest hands I could have hoped for!

Help Ensure a House is Safe for Seniors in 3 Simple Steps #LSSS

April 15, 2016 by Kathryn 68 Comments

One of the hardest moments my grandmother had before passing away was admitting that she finally couldn’t live alone in her home anymore. She had lived in the same house since first moving to Brooks, Alberta. And even though she was in her mid-nineties and my grandfather had passed away years ago, she had remained in that house ever since and had no desire to leave it. She was lucky to have a boarder living with her in later years that helped her a great deal and a home care nurse that visited a few times a week to assist her with simple tasks, but we still worried about her living alone.

With so many members of the population reaching twilight years, senior safety is an important topic right now. And if your parents or grandparents are living unassisted, taking a few simple steps to ensure the house is safe just makes sense! Get started with these three steps: [Read more…]
