My Thoughts

Old Spice has been a top brand in my family for three generations. The newest fan is my teenage son who will be heading to college this year.  He was thrilled to try our some of the newest additions to the Old Spice family.  First, he tried the Sea Spray Body Wash. This body wash can be used on all your body parts from face to toes. It  leaves skin feeling soft and smelling fresh.  The formula is gentle and won't irritate your skin. It goes on smooth and has no greasy residue. It comes in a pump bottle for easy access and the bottle is  large enough to last for months at a time. The scent is light enough that it leaves your skin smelling fresh, but isn't overpowering.

We also tried out several deodorants including the Ultra Smooth and the Sea Spray. I love my son, but when he gets up in the morning or goes out for a jog or works out at the gym, I  have to hold my breath when he comes back.  We really needed a way to cut back on the body odor, and Old Spice is the perfect way to do that.  It's specifically designed for men with a proven non-irritating formula that has an amazing scent both men and their women will enjoy. With Old Spice antiperspirant deodorant, men can get fresh and stay fresh before or after their morning exercises. The powerful formula leaves body odor at the door, which is exactly where I want it to stay.

My son loved these new Old Spice products, and he's looking forward to trying  out the other varieties in the near future. Whether you're sending  a son off to college or have a new high school student, a gift set of Old Spice products is the perfect way to start the school year off right. You can find Old Spice Products in stores nationwide or online at Walmart.

Thesis Beauty all-natural deodorant review.

From celebrities making the switch to natural deodorant, to how-to’s on detoxing armpits, underarm health is all over the news this summer. But not all-natural deodorants are created equal, and that’s why Thesis Beauty’s award-winning organic spray-on deodorant is making waves.

At Thesis Beauty, we believe in using only the best ingredients nature has created. Named Best Deodorant by Healing Lifestyles and Spas, our unisex deodorant harnesses fresh botanicals like organic peppermint, eucalyptus, and lavender to keep skin feeling fresh and smelling great. 100% vegan and cruelty-free, our products NEVER contain synthetic chemicals or harmful artificial preservatives and additives.

My Thoughts:

Ever since I read about the harmful effects of antiperspirant, I have been a user of all-natural deodorants. The only issue is, there are so many brands. Finding one that works for me has been a bit of a challenge. My skin is very sensitive. Some brands on the market have given me rashes, dry patches, and discoloration. When I heard about Thesis Beauty and their award-winning formula, I knew I had to try it.

First and foremost, the packaging was beautiful. Such calming colors and the bottle was so pretty. You could smell the delicious essential oils right when you open the box. If you're someone who loves a good fragrance in your deodorant, you will love Thesis! The scent is earthy and welcoming.

Upon using the product, I was thrilled. It's wonderful and truly works. The smell lasts and the formula easily fights the odors of sweat no matter where it is on the body. I had no harsh reactions thankfully. Spraying this product on verses the stick method I'm used to was so much easier during my morning routine. I would highly recommend Thesis to our readers!

Time to Shake Up Your Beauty Routine with Humble's All Natural Deodorant.

SOMETIMES, THE TRUTH STINKS.

Grocery store antiperspirants have become the most common solution to bromhidrosis, or what most of us affectionately refer to as B.O. We smear these sticks of who-knows-what on our bodies day in and day out, often unaware of the havoc they may be wreaking internally. You see, most antiperspirants out there contain chemicals like aluminum chloride and parabens that have potential links to breast cancer, lymph node cancer, Alzheimer’s disease and liver disease. The American Journal of Public Health published a report showing that on average, 64% of what we put on our skin is absorbed into our body and some studies show nearly 100% of what we put on our armpits is absorbed into our body. Where does it go after being absorbed? Right into your bloodstream. We think this stinks pretty badly.

ENTER HUMBLE. HUMBLE WAS CONCEIVED IN THE KITCHEN OF OUR FOUNDER WHO WAS FRUSTRATED WITH THE EXISTING SELECTION OF ANTIPERSPIRANTS AND ALL-NATURAL DEODORANTS.

After countless concoctions and tests, he finally created a product that works. Humble contains four to five organic and all-natural ingredients that you can pronounce (and might, in fact, have in your own kitchen). Humble is both effective and safe, containing no aluminum or parabens while still keeping you dry and free of offensive odors. We take the care to manufacture our deodorant in small batches right here in America. With the fewest ingredients of any deodorant on the market, Humble is the simple solution to a stinky problem.

My Thoughts: 

Ever since I started reading about the dangers of store bought antiperspirants, I have been on the search for a good alternative. Going through the aisles of my local supermarkets and drug stores, almost no all natural brands were being sold. I was extremely surprised by this. After trying one I did come across a few months ago, I ended up breaking out in a horrible rash. I was left disappointed. I knew there had to be a brand that worked somewhere. 

When I heard about Humble's products, I was thrilled to give them a try. A completely natural, cruelty free line of deodorants with ingredients I actually recognized? Count me in!  

Humble has created three signature products in their deodorant line: Essential Cedarwood, Essential Lavender, and Simply Unscented. All are created using Organic Cornstarch, Organic Bees Wax, All-Natural Baking Soda, Organic Olive Oil, and Organic Essential Oil (Scented products only). Upon opening them they smelled fantastic! I loved the relaxing smell of Lavender. The Cedarwood was an nice uplifting woodsy scent. Although the Simply Unscented did not have essential oils in it, it had a very light clay type fragrance. It was nice! 

I tried each one for an extended period of time to know how they worked in terms of longevity and wearing power. Each had a nice thick consistency. The application was a little chunky, but that was easy to solve. If you take a paper towel and wipe off any excess you will be fine. They dry pretty quickly after applying and are not sticky or uncomfortable. The Cedarwood and Lavender left a nice scent after application. Each one lasted a different amount of time for me, but all three did indeed last! Another plus, none of them irritated my skin. 

The one that gave me the longest lasting performance was the Essential Cedarwood. I absolutely love this one. It worked all day long for me and still smelled fresh before bed. No matter how much I sweated after a long day of running around, it stayed put. I was amazed! 

Essential Lavender lasted almost as long, but the smell was close to being gone by the time I was ready to go to sleep. Simply Unscented needed an extra application after a few hours, but it is still a wonderful pick for those who are sensitive to essential oils or are not looking for a scented deodorant. Each did leave a slight residue on my clothes, but again, if you take a paper towel to remove any excess product before putting on your clothes, that should reduce any marks. It is easy to fix.  

    

If you are looking for an all natural deodorant option, Humble's products are for you! These are wonderful products that are long lasting, wonderful smelling, and just as effective as store bought (if not more)! Thank you Humble for providing me with my new go to products!

Not only is it a great choice in the winter, but it has the strength to carry you through the hot & sticky summer months as well.

My Thoughts

These are some pretty neat cloths. I like to shower in the evening but I workout in the morning at home. I'm not a heavy sweater, so I can get away with not showering after my workout. Since I work from home too, typically after I workout, I just go into my office and get my day started. However, there are days when I do go out and my skin has that sticky feel to it. These wipes are awesome for that or anytime you need a little clean feeling. Such as sitting in the sweltering sun while the kids play their hearts out at the park.

I actually felt clean with this cloth. And I liked the scent a lot. The type of Ban cloth I tried was Energize and it has a light citrus smell that gave me a little perk of energy. Maybe I should sniff these during my workouts. 

I was pleased with this. The clothes were about the same texture and feel as a baby wipe. They didn't leave me feeling wet. It also left my skin soft, which I credit to the powdersilk technology the bag mentions. I will definitely be picking these up and keeping them in my purse during the days of summer.
