Get Clean with Amazingly Aromatic Castile Soaps from Dr. Jacobs Naturals! #spon

*DISCLOSURE* Thank you to Dr. Jacobs Naturals for providing product samples in order to facilitate this post.  All thoughts are strictly my own. 

I love natural body products that pull double duty and work as good as they smell.  Dr. Jacobs Naturals are some of the best smelling soaps I've found lately and they do an amazing job at cleaning up!


Dr. Jacobs Natural makes hardworking castile soap products.  If you have never tried a castile soap, you are missing out!  These soaps are plant-based and infused with amazing moisturizing properties.  They can be used as an all-purpose cleaner in any room of the house.  And, of course, they are mild enough to be used for cleaning any part of the body, head to toe!

Sweet Tea Tree Liquid Castile Soap

Tea Tree oil is good cleansing and purifying agent, gently lifting away daily debris from pores leaving skin feel.  Tea Tree Oil is recognized as one of nature’s most remarkable antiseptics and disinfectants. This oil is also known for its anti-fungal treatment or infection-reducing benefits. It has antibiotic properties and helps aid against ailments such as skin infections, rashes, burns, dandruff and much more.

I absolutely adore the smell of tea tree and this scent was fantastic!

Lavender Liquid Castile Soap

The timeless calming and soothing scent of Lavender is known to help purify the body and spirit and soothe and relieve stress. This essential oil also naturally balances the overproduction of oils. Lavender is particularly rich in aromatic molecules called esters, which are antispasmodic, pacifying and tonic, while other molecules give it its antiviral, bacterial, and anti-inflammatory powers. As well, this oil helps induce sleep and is also an excellent remedy for various types of pains including those caused by sore and tense muscles. 

Lavender is my all time favorite scent.  This soap is the perfect soap to use just before bed or after a long stressful day.  So soothing and relaxing!

Coco Loco Limeade Castile Bar Soap

Say hello to your tropical paradise. Your shower is transformed into a mini cabana in Hawaii while your body is treated to the indulgence of a pina colada bath. Hydrate and enrich your skin with coconut oil and allow the freshly peeled lime bits to exfoliate, brighten, and renew. The rich pairing will tease your senses and awaken you for the day ahead. Triple Milled Castile Soap with Organic Shea Butter is made with all-natural ingredients void of any chemical derivatives to give you an experience like you'd find in nature. No parabens, petrochemicals, sulfates, or phthalates. 

This bar of soap smelled phe-nom-e-nal!!  It works just as well as the liquid soaps and provided super moisturized results!

All of the products we tried from Dr. Jacobs Naturals were outstanding.  I absolutely adored the natural scents and the results after using the soaps...clean, smooth, moisturized skin and an aromatherapy experience you would pay big bucks for at a boutique spa! 

Treat yourself to some Dr. Jacobs Naturals castile soap products!

Move Over Gravy! World of Chia Fruit Spreads Are the Perfect Compliment to Biscuits!

*DISCLOSURE* Thank you to World of Chia for providing product samples in order to facilitate this post.  All thoughts are strictly my own. 

Being from the South, we usually like our biscuits with gravy, but occasionally we'll take a good jam.  Thanks to World of Chia, we recently found three amazing fruit spreads that are putting gravy on the back burner for now!


Wold of Chia fruit spreads are natural, nutritive and delicious.  These fruit spreads have just 4 ingredients, fruit, agave syrup, chia seeds and lemon juice. The agave lightens up the sweetness so you can get that full fruit flavor.  Thanks to the natural superfood chia seeds, no pectin is necessary.  Chia seeds thicken the spreads naturally.


We tried three premium spreads, Strawberry, Raspberry and Blackberry.  They were all amazingly fruity and delicious without being overpoweringly sweet.  I will say, I am not a huge fan of blackberries, but the blackberry spread was my absolute favorite of the bunch!  So super yummy!!

Say goodbye to industrially processed pectin, added acids, cane sugar, preservatives, colorants and additives and say hello to the natural, fresh, delicious chia fruit spreads!

 World of Chia fruit spreads are available in HEB (Central Market Banners) and Kroger (Signature)


Stay tuned for our upcoming giveaway of World of Chia Fruit Spreads!

Scrigit™ Scraper: Handy Cleaning Tool That Gets the Job Done! #giveaway #spon

*DISCLOSURE* Thank you to Scrigit™ Scraper for providing product samples in order to facilitate this post.  All thoughts are strictly my own.

I am so excited to share the Scrigit™ Scraper with y'all today!  This is one of the coolest, handiest tools I've seen in a while.


What is the Scrigit Scraper you ask?  It's a super handy cleaning tool that helps you save time, effort and most importantly, your fingernails!!  


The pocket-sized Scrigit Scraper is a multi-purpose cleaning tool that provides a quick alternative to fingernails and other types of scrapers as a way to remove small amounts of common substances, food, candle wax, soap, paint, adhesive labels, grease and grime, from flat and curved household surfaces, such as dishes, kitchen and bathroom counter tops and floors. 

About the size of a pen, the Scrigit Scraper is perfect for reaching into tight spaces, grooves, crevices and pretty much anywhere you have gunk!

As many of you may know, we recently moved in to a temporary rental house while our home is being rebuilt thanks to Hurricane Harvey.  As with many rentals, this one has a few years worth of, shall we say, use:)  We found plenty of ways to use our Scrigits...around the bases of toilets, in crevices of faucets, on several kitchen appliances and of course, around the kitchen sink.   

Along the kitchen sink, before:

During:

After:

I don't know about your kids, but mine are huge fans of homemade slime.  However, slime tends to get everywhere and since it's basically just glue, it dries hard and is a pain to remove.  Well, WAS a pain to remove...not with Scrigit!

 Slime container covered in dried slime:

After Scrigit:

The pile of dried slime from the table:

The kiddos love using our Scrigit too!  Anything that helps me get them excited about cleaning up after themselves is a winner in my book!

No more breaking or chipping nails scraping off who knows what. Make the Scrigit Scraper your essential scraper tool.
