Its The Balm Tropical Island Spa Kit Review and Giveaway, ends 3/26/15

Can you feel it in your bones? Have you caught the scent of it? Do you see the signs?

Spring. It's coming... it's just a few short days away...

Now, if you're like me, you change everything just as soon as the last frost of the season has come and gone.

I tend to wear deep, warm fragrances in the winter. Cinnamon, Apple, Bayberry... something intense and full of heat.

But come spring, I am SO ready for light, fruity, bright, and cool!

Ah... the joys of discovery! I found an Etsy shop called Its The Balm. WOW. They have the most amazing, home-made, natural bath and beauty products!   Lip balms, scrubs, lotions, sprays, and soaps!

I KNEW I had to share that discovery with you!

I received the amazing Tropical Island Spa Kit. The kit contains:

*Tropical Island Body Wash

*Island Sugar Scrub

*Tropical Island Organic Body Lotion

*Tropical Island Body Mist

Oh... the fragrance! It takes me back to my home on Tybee and the days spent walking the beach and swimming in the ocean. Seriously, it brought tears to my eyes.

You can smell the pineapple, coconut, vanilla, and citrus. It's sensual. It's heady. It's intoxicating!

I must admit to being particularly fond of the amazing Island Sugar Scrub. It employs sugar and sea salt to exfoliate the skin and essential oils to soothe and soften. I use it on my hands, elbows, and feet! I know Mike is happy as he is ALWAYS complaining about my rough heels.

Used together, you do feel as though you've received a total spa experience. I certainly do. Its aromatherapy, exfoliation, and massage all wrapped together.

All of the fine products produced at Its The Balm are made from natural ingredients such as purified water, essential oils, juices, and glycerin. These are quality products made with care and love.

With my Tropical Island Spa Kit, I am ready for Spring! Bring on the blooming azaleas, flip-flops, sandy beaches, and front-porch swings! I shall be bathed in the delightful scent of pineapples and coconut... sipping on my mint julep, er, sweet iced tea... and watching the world go by. :)

I give all credit to Nicole -- the owner and creator of the Its The Balm line!

Sun and Earth Review & Giveaway Ends 11/6/11

Cleaning. Laundry. Dishes.

It's the trinity of housework. We all do it. The difference is "HOW we do it and with what products.

I think most people today search for products that are environmentally friendly and non-toxic to our community and to our lives and the lives of our families and pets.

I am always searching for such products. Not always an easy task.

I have recently discovered the wonderful products of the Sun and Earth Company.

As a small company with only four employees, it’s extremely challenging to compete with billion-dollar, multinational corporations, so we do everything in our power to keep our costs down…passing-on the savings to consumers. We consider ourselves somewhat of a natural brand for everyone because our products are hypoallergenic, non-toxic, and eco-friendly!

The Sun and Earth™ Story:

Sun and Earth offers a full line of natural cleaning products and biodegradable detergents. Our green eco-friendly cleaners are organic, non-toxic, biodegradable, vegan, and better for the environment. We do not test any of our formulations on animals.

"It has been an exciting, challenging, and very interesting time of great change," responded John Mullins, President and CEO about the socially and environmentally-responsible company's nearly 25-year journey to develop, self-manufacture, and distribute natural cleaning products and green detergents.

A commitment to helping people live better…naturally has remained a key value over the years. By using biodegradable, powerful plant-based ingredients in our environmentally-friendly formulations, we are able to deliver effective natural cleaners that are hypoallergenic, phosphate-free, and ammonia-free. Their safe nature means you'll worry less at home around your children and pets. By using Sun and Earth green cleaners, you are making a healthy choice to keep your family and our planet beautiful.

I was very excited when asked to review the Sun and Earth products. I am equally excited to introduce this wonderful company to you!

I received three amazing products:

*** Sun and Earth Deep Cleaning Laundry Detergent

Sun and Earth Deep Cleaning Laundry Detergent:
Our Deep Cleaning Formula Laundry Detergent unlocks the power of nature to create a laundry detergent that out performs the leading national brands at removing odors, stains and dirt. You don't have to sacrifice cleaning performance to be environmentally responsible.

*** Sun and Earth All Purpose Spray Cleaner

Sun and Earth All Purpose Spray Cleaner:
Our All Purpose Cleaner works great at removing grease, grime and dirt in your kitchen, bathroom and all around your house. Its natural, non-toxic, environmentally-friendly formulation is free from petroleum-based solvents. We only use plant-based surfactants so you have the added peace of mind knowing you are not exposing your family, children or pets to harmful chemical residues or fumes. Because our All Purpose Cleaner is natural and biodegradable, it is safe for septic systems.

*** Sun and Earth Xtra Concentrated Dish Liquid

Sun and Earth Xtra Concentrated Dish Liquid:
Sun and Earth Xtra Concentrated Dish Liquid is great for:
*Dishes
*Fruit and veggie wash
*Washing car exterior
*Washing fine, delicate fabrics by hand
*Cleaning baby bottles and utensils
No animal testing. Vegan. Gluten-free. Soy-free. Casein-free. No tree nuts. No peanuts.

Sun and Earth products are available locally throughout the northeastern part of the U.S. as well as online at SunandEarth.com, Amazon.com, Soap.com, LuckyVitamin.com, and many others.

Each product definitely lives up to it's promises! The all-purpose spray cleaner works well on steel, wood, and tile surfaces and also cleans windows and mirrors. I LOVE the clean, citrus scent. It makes the whole house smell fresh and clean. It's a grease killer, too! I used it to clean my microwave oven and it just melted away the 'gunk' that accumulates so quickly there.

The Laundry Detergent is fab. I rubbed a bit on stains and, rather to my surprise, it lifted tough stains right out. The detergent is concentrated and you don't have to use so much to get your clothes clean. Because there are no harsh chemicals, the clothes have a lovely, lingering citrus scent. The detergent is safe for ALL washers, too, including the new HE washers!

And last, but not least, the wonderful Dish Liquid! Again, a lovely citrus fragrance that soothes your senses and no harsh chemicals to dry out and irritate the skin. It's mild on your hands but definitely gets the job done.  It cuts through greasy residue on pots, pans, and dishes.

I am very impressed with the items I received from Sun and Earth and fully intend to explore the other products they offer as well. When you find a good thing -- you keep it!
