Holistic Honey Body Lotion

Hubby is the main lotion user in our house. His skin gets really dry. He doesn’t like me to tell people that he USES lotion, but that he NEEDS lotion. Men.

When I heard about a natural lotion with healing powers I wanted him to give it a try. It sounded great…

made from earth is the company ~ product is holistic honey body lotion ~ the bottle states organic, holistic, chem-free. Sounds amazing right?

We are big honey users in this house. Here is a little info about why it’s a great additive to lotion…

Honey is a natural humectants, which means it attracts and retains moisture. The natural hydrating and antioxidant properties of honey trap and seal the moisture, rejuvenate the skin, cleanse the complexion leaving it soft.

Honey in its purest organic form is suitable for all skin types, and has amazing holistic healing properties.

Our Organic Honey is produced, processed, and packaged in accordance with national regulations and independent organic farming certification organization. This means that the land is organic and within a radius of 4 miles from the apiary site, and, nectar and pollen sources must consist of organic crops or uncultivated areas. According to the USDA, organic honey is quite rare to find because most beekeepers routinely use sulfate compounds and antibiotics to control bee diseases, carbolic acid to remove honey from the hive and calcium cyanide to kill colonies before extracting the honey.

Do you want that on your skin? Please use holistic honey instead.

Well said!

Hubby will start using it everyday and I can’t wait to hear what he has to say!

Holistic Honey Body Lotion from made by earth is on sale for $14.99 ~ let me know your thoughts!

 

Watch for a future post where I will chat about why ALL our bath & body products should be all natural.

 
I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Mother’s Day Idea ~ Keurig Mini Plus Brewing System

What has been the number one product on this mama’s Christmas, Birthday, and Mother’s Day list? A Keurig Brewer! I’m guessing that it may be on many of your lists too!

What makes it so attractive? A couple of things…first, you brew a single cup of coffee at a time. Are you the only coffee drinker in the house? I am and that is what makes the Keurig perfect for me! Even if you weren’t the only, maybe you both like different flavors? This is the second attraction…all the choices…so many yummy ones…

Wolfgang Puck Hawaiian Hazelnut

Green Mountain Wild Blueberry

Timothy’s German Chocolate Cake

Do I need to keep going? Even if you aren’t a coffee fan, there are still great drinks to try…

Green Mountain Naturals Hot Apple Cider

Swiss Miss Hot Choclate (for the kids!)

Mandarin Orange Spice Herbal Tea

 

The most affordable Keurig is the Mini Plus.

Instead of filling your brewer with water to last for a few days, the mini only allows you to fill it for one cup.

Also, because it is smaller in size, it does not fit your taller travel mugs.

It is just as easy to use though!

Place your K-Cup inside, shut it, push Brew, and out comes hot coffee. I am in love.

The Keurig Mini is available in four colors ~ the platinum I have, the red on top, plus white and black.

What color would you want?

 

For my eco-friendly mamas ~ worry about the K-Cup waste? When I’m not lazy I do clean them out and throw them in the recycle bin, but you can grab the reusable My K-Cup and you can pour ANY coffee in the cup to brew.

Did you hear that everyone? ANY ground coffee, not just K-Cups, can be made with this!

How can a coffee maker get any better?! :)

 

The Keurig Mini Brewer in Black is on Amazon right now for $86.00 ~ this is gooood!

Otherwise, they retail for around $99.95

I received a Keurig for this review and all opinions are my own.

Mother’s Day Idea ~ Epson Artisan Printer

I believe every mama needs a good printer. A printer specializing in superb color photo quality is a huge bonus! Love photography or just love taking lots of pictures? Are you crafty?

Meet the Epson Artisan 1430 Inkjet Printer. Let me tell you about some of my favorite features.

Wireless. Very important to me as I have a laptop that I carry all over my house, but even neater as it allows ALL wireless devices in the house to connect and print. Which leads me to the…

Epson Connect. An app available on my iphone, or any tablet, that allows me to print whatever is on my screen. I can go to my blog page and print out my newest post…in perfect color…in seconds. Perfect for instantly printing out those camera photos!

Comes with Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 ~ a $65 program on Amazon. Click on that link and you will see everything that it does! Repair photos, make your own photo books and cards, and get tons of ideas for your projects.

AMAZING quality photo prints. First thing we did was print an 8×10 photo. Then we printed one to surprise our friends! We had just taken one of their family and were so impressed we wanted to print more more! Photos are smudge, scratch, water and fade resistant thanks to Claria® Hi-Definition Ink.

 This picture is actually from my camera phone. Look how awesome it turned out! Amazing!

Print on any paper or directly on CD/DVDs. This printer is large for a reason. It will print up to 13×19 paper! I can not wait to get out my scrapbooking again (I am years behind!) and print titles and text on 12×12 cardstock. Wahooo! And just think of the cool color graphics you can now print out instead of purchase at the hobby store? Definitely a printer for crafty mamas!

No more Walgreens or Shutterfly for me. I can print beautiful 4×6 all on my own!

Cartridges. Instead of buying one color cartridge ~ you have six! That way when you use up a color you don’t have to replace the entire cartridge. Just the color you need! Neat!

Fast. The first thing Hubby said as we printed our first project was, wow this thing is fast!

Eco Features. Of course I have to share these with you ~ Energy Star, print multiple pages on one sheet, & the machine itself is designed to be recycled! You can visit eco.epson.com to see their whole environmental vision.

 

The best place to buy the Epson Artisan 1430 Printer is on their site for $219.99 ($80 rebate)

or Amazon (today’s price $298)

 

Do you need a good photo printer?

 

I received this printer for review. All opinions are my own.
