Live Clean Baby Organic Collection Giveaway & Review

The thing I found most pleasurable about Live Clean is their conciseness for the environment. Main focus how it works and protects babies with organic botanical ingredients. Not only do they make products almost completely plant based but, they are aware of their carbon print in packaging. Live Clean Baby eco-friendly hypoallergenic baby care products for baby and the earth. Check them out Earth Day is April 22.

Live Clean sent the whole line of their Eco Friendly Live Clean Baby line for us to try. I was heading out of town when it first arrived and in between trips I have tried it out on my boys. They aren't quite babies but, my 2yr old is close enough that he still has baby fat fingers. My oldest has sensitive skin and I was eager to see how his skin would react. Tearless Shampoo, Moisturizing Baby Bath,and Moisturizing Baby Lotion, where all light scented. My little guys did well with all these and I felt better with these clean products for my family. Children learn from imitation, so what better product to learn to use than earth & family safe products.

My finding on all the products we used is no over whelming smells, big plus for us with sensitive sinusitis issues. The bar soap was there and it is excellent, nice lather and good clean feeling. I loved the Non-Petroleum Jelly 100% natural ingredients on my dry cracked lips, no smell. The smooth diaper cream did great and also wiped away easy from my fingers. I hate when it's hard to wipe off diaper cream.

The line of Live Clean Baby products consist of the following: Tearless Shampoo & Wash, Moisturizing Baby Bath, Moisturizing Baby Lotion, Diaper Ointment, Non-Petroleum Jelly, & Bar Soap.

Check out the details on individual products:
•Some are 98% & 100% Plant Ingredients
•Petroleum Free
•Paraben & Phthalate Free
•Hypoallergenic
•Pediatrician Tested

Live Clean Baby Moisturizing Baby Lotion at over 8,000 Walgreens stores across the country and online at Walgreens.com. The certified organic botanical of chamomile and lavender, with natural emollients and aloe, ensure performance with natural, gentle ingredients with fast absorbing formula.

Thanks to Live Clean for sharing their great products in the Spring Fever Event. One US winner will win the complete line of the Live Clean Baby Products like we had the chance to review.

Crayola Outdoor Colored Bubbles Giveaway & Review

With my two boys, I know there will be messy play. I can tell you colored bubbles are nowhere as mess as their mud pit in the backyard and color bubbles are 100 times easier to wash off. Ways to ensure no clothing damage dark around the house clothes for sure. I had on a white shirt and it washed out. We got to try out the Crayola Outdoor Colored Bubbles 3 Pack and a Bubble Launcher.

It happened to be cold when our bubbles arrived and my sons have no patience. We headed outside wrapped up, first we tried the bubble launcher and it didn't produce bubbles as fast as they could blow them. I was impressed that it had a handle turn to make bubbles, which save on batteries. I must say it didn't make them that fast, kept clogging, and the kids wanted bubbles flying everywhere (FAST). They grabbed the wands and did what kids do best, have fun. I had them to stick the bubbles in this little trashcan I'd just bought in case of spills, so they wouldn't lose their bubble mix and it helped it from tipping over.

So happen my mom stopped in during this time and was dodging the boys, they chased her with bubbles. It was messy and one hint of advice make sure you open the plastic on the bubble packs all the way. Your hands will be so slippery and hard to remove extra plastic later.

This week with much better weather, in school clothes~! we did some video using the Crayola Colored Bubbles. It washed out, the rain washed the porch clean & the bucket, and color bubbles aren't so bad.


TIPS:
Simple tips that make playing with Crayola Outdoor Colored Bubbles and cleaning up, even more awesome and enjoyable for both kids and moms.


Dress for Mess. Wear washable play clothes and shoes. It’s best to not wear suede, leather or any other material that can’t be washed.
Play Outside. An open grassy area is best away from new concrete, decks and porous surfaces like marble. Don’t use at formal events like weddings.
Rub skin to remove color.
Launder clothes promptly with water and detergent. Repeat washing may be needed.
Hose off outdoor surfaces like sidewalks and driveways to wash away color.
