Baby Bonanza! Homestead Review and Giveaway



I'm always looking for great skincare products that are made with natural ingredients. This is especially hard since I suffer from  eczema in the winter months.  If you're looking for the same thing, then look no further than The Homstead Company.  They have an amazing selection of products ranging from body butters to Diaper Rash Oil.  They specialize in products designed to help people with conditions like dry skin, rashes, weight problems, allergies, and other common illnesses.






In addition to the adult products, Homestead also has a great selection of products for babies. For my review, I received samples of the Diaper Rash Oil, Baby Wipes Companion and the Baby Balm. My other two children had sensitive skin when they were babies and I always had issues finding products that didn't irritate their skin . I think these products will be perfect for my new baby. The Diaper Rash oil is 100% fragrance free which is great for when there is a rash because strong scented creams will only make things worse. The Baby Wipes Companion, on the other hand, comes in a light orange eucalyptus scent that I found quite pleasant but not overpowering. And the Baby Balm goes on the skin smoothly and doesn't leave any sticky residue. Overall, I was very impressed with all three and will definitely want to use them for my baby when she is born.




And now for the exciting part! Homestead has offered one of my readers the chance to win a $30 Gift Certificate to their website to be used towards any product they choose!  To enter, you MUST visit Homestead and leave me a comment telling me what you would buy if you are the lucky winner of the gift certificate .  For additional entries you can do any of the following but you must complete this mandatory entry first.  Please leave a comment for every additional entry you complete.
