Beauty By Shea sent me this Raw Shea Butter to review. Shea butter is rich in vitamins which makes it the perfect skincare product. You can use this product as-is, or even make lotions out of it etc.

Maybe you can't tell, but my skin is smiling in this picture!! This shea butter rocks

I chose to use Beauty By Shea's Raw Shea Butter to make homemade lye soap with. My mom helped me make the soap - she has made her own soap for several years now. This product was easy to work with - it is nice and soft. I absolutely love how this organic shea butter made the soap turn out. It leaves your skin feeling silky smooth and rejuvenated. This Raw Organic Unfiltered Shea Butter is awesome for your skin - and using it in my soap is great because store bought soaps are many times full of harsh chemicals that can leave your skin feeling dried out. This shea butter leaves my skin feeling moisturized and beautiful! 

If you would like a chance to win this product, please leave a comment below and tell me why you NEED Beauty By Shea's Raw Shea Butter.

Australian Tea Tree Oil Review

Disclaimer: I received these items in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to post a positive review. These are my honest opinions. Your experiences may differ

I was sent Apothecary Extracts' 100% Pure Australian Tea Tree Oil from EatGreenTea. Tea tree oil has many uses, which includes fighting acne, fleas, cold sores etc. - the natural way. You can even make lotion, shampoo, and toothpaste with it! Personally, I used this tea tree oil to make soap with.

My mom helped me make the soap - she has been making homemade lye soap for years now. She recommended we use "lemongrass" essential oils with it, and I could not be happier with that decision! This tea tree oil has such a great scent that paired perfect with the lemongrass. This 100% Australian Tea Tree Oil does not have an overpowering scent like some of the tea tree oils I have used before, which is a big plus!

I love this tea tree oil! It is not too harsh on my skin AND it has natural healing and cleansing properties. I give Apothecary Extracts' 100% Pure Australian Tea Tree Oil two thumbs up!

August PetBox - A Box of Surprises!

Disclaimer: I received these items in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to post a positive review. These are my honest opinions. Your experiences may differ

This month I received my very first PetBox! I got the "dog" box. PetBox is a great monthly subscription service that delivers premium products right to your home each month. Items are from boutique suppliers, meaning that much of what you receive cannot be bought at a large pet store chain.

My dad likes to take our dogs for walks, so I was glad to see a couple great items that will come in handy for him. There is an Alcott Essential Adventure Bowl (a fold out travel bowl for water) and Clean Paws Doodie Bags (lemon scented and made with recycled plastic!). Both items are fully functional and very convenient.

Unscented Dry Shampoo by fordirtydogs - 100% natural!! First ingredient is Colloidal Oatmeal, and so it smells like oatmeal! I love that - and it is essential oil free, so you don't have to worry about it irritating your dog's skin

Pizza Party flavored treats by Be Pawsitive. These treats smell great!! Exactly like pizza, one of my favorite foods! These treats are organic, made in the USA, AND they have a "buy one, give one" policy - when you buy a bag of these treats, a bag is donated to a shelter. Isn't that wonderful?? And most of my dogs loved them!

Even my cats had fun with this PetBox for dogs - above you can see Mykah checking out the Piggy Twizzies dog chew and a Pawtastic Fleece Pet Toy.

August's PetBox did not disappoint! Tune in later this month for a closer look at some of these products. Starting next month I will be featuring their cat box on my blog - so cat lovers, stay tuned!!

Number One Probiotic Review

Disclaimer: I received these items in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to post a positive review. These are my honest opinions. Your experiences may differ

I was sent to review Number One Probiotic. This is a dietary supplement that supports digestive and immune system health. You take two capsules with a meal each day.

I have frequent stomach aches (due to acid indigestion etc) and I will try almost any product to relieve my pain. I must say, this product has helped! I take it along with my medicine made especially for acid problems. Since I added Advanced Probiotic to my diet, I have had less stomach pains - and it just makes me feel better about my health in general. The pills are not too large and they are easy to swallow. I give this product two thumbs up!
