PURA D'OR Products Help You Clean Up in Time for #BackToSchool

*DISCLOSURE* Thank you to PURA D'OR for providing product samples in order to facilitate this post.  All thoughts are strictly my own. 


I don't know about your family, but around here our summertime bath schedule is a little less routine than our schooltime schedule.  Our kiddos swim every day and one of them must shower after every swim while the other thinks swimming is sufficient as "bathtime" LOL!  I'm a little more flexible during the summer, but once we are back on a more reliable schedule this fall, they'll both be back to normal bathing routines.  That's where PURA D'OR comes in!


PURA D'OR offers up amazing hair and body products that use a proprietary blend of organic extracts and oils, including the gold standard for helping heal hair’s individual issues, Argan Oil as well as other natural and plant-based ingredients include Tea Tree Oil, Ylang Ylang, Lavender, Vanilla, vitamins and nutrients. This cold-pressed, preservation-harvested oil, known for centuries as pure gold, fuses inside each formula to help solve problems like thinning hair, hair loss due to breakage and dandruff.  Know what you won't find in PURA D'OR? No SLS, no parabens, and no synthetic fragrances.  Plus, these products are hypoallergenic and color safe! 

Check out our new favorite products from PURA D'OR:


This is called All-in-One Baby Wash, but really should be called All-in-One Human Wash:)  The Organic Aloe Vera based formula gently cleans any member of the family from head to toe without harsh cleansers, sulfates or parabens. It is , of course, free from artificial fragrance or colorants and is tear-free.  Just a little bit goes a long way.  I made the mistake of using 3 pumps and had a shower full of suds!  One pump should do the job:)  This wash leaves skin and hair silky and soft, while Lavender Oil helps calm your mood.  Love, love, love it!


Argan oil is like a miracle product!  Daily toxins such as pollution or over-exposure to the sun can cause damage to skin and hair. Antioxidants from Argan Oil add an extra layer of protection against these toxins and compounds.  


PURA D'OR Argan Oil is 100% Pure Organic Argan Oil. It's cold pressed and unrefined with no chemicals added.  This pure, natural, organic oil restores elasticity, softens wrinkles and fine lines, heals dry scalp stimulating hair regeneration, and restores nutrient content to skin cells treating an array of skin conditions. It is specially formulated to effectively treat all hair, scalp and skin types and is gentle enough for daily use.

We are loving using these amazing PURA D'OR goodies to keep clean without sacrificing our health!

If you are looking for some of the safest all-natural hair and body products out there this back to school season, check out PURA D'OR for some great choices!

Hands up if you love GOOD coffee!  If your hands are up, you NEED to check out JavaPresse!   JavaPresse is the only fresh-focused, specialty coffee club in the world!  What does that mean?  JavaPresse coffees are all natural, additive free and organically grown.  They are shipped within 2 hours of being roasted!  What?!  Yep, it doesn't get much fresher than that!

This grinder is built with a professional grade ceramic conical burr to heighten flavors of your favorite coffee. It is super easy to use and features a built-in adjustable grind selector with over 15 settings to ensure that you have 100% control over the coarseness of your grind. 


No batteries, power, or long cords are needed to operate your grinder which means it can literally go with you anywhere!  Camping, hiking, or any other trip, you can have amazing fresh ground coffee at your side!


The convenient hand crank mechanism eliminates over 90% of the noise that electric grinders produce meaning you can grind while the family is still asleep or while you are at work, without bothering anybody with the noise most grinders make.


The convenient see through window let's you keep an eye on how much coffee you've ground.  This grinder is also super easy to clean.


Now, on to the COFFEE!  We got to try Easy Street, a single origin coffee from Brazil.  This coffee boasts hints of luscious baker's chocolate, zesty lime peel and nutty cashew.


According to the info card that came with the coffee, this blend is from the farm Fazenda Santa Luiza in Campos Altos, Brazil.  The card gives info on the coffee and the farmer who is in charge of growing these amazing beans.


This coffee was amazingly good!  Super fresh beans grounded to perfection equals the perfect cuppa joe!  Careful though, once you start drinking JavaPresse coffee, you might find it hard to drink any other, lower-quality coffee. :)

With every purchase, JavaPresse partners with causes that spread joy to children in need.  It doesn't get much better than a company that offers up great products AND gives back.  We are JavaPresse fans for life!

Enjoy a Multi-Sensory Experience with a June and May Aroma Diffuser and Bluetooth Clock Speaker!

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

FRESHeTECH has an awesome line of stylish electronic home goods called June and May and their Aroma Diffuser and Bluetooth Clock Speaker is quickly becoming our favorite new toy!  


The design of this nifty multi-purpose gadget is simple, streamlined and gorgeous!  It would look great with pretty much any decor scheme and works wonderfully in the crazy rustic/beachy mashup decor theme in our new home.


 The June and May Aroma Diffuser and Bluetooth Clock Speaker practically exudes relaxation.  It provides a true multi-sensory experience!  The diffuser provides seamless aromatherapy, the lights keep the mood calm and relaxing and the speaker let's you wind down (or get the party started!) to your favorite tunes.


You  can set the timer for the diffuser for 1, 3 or 5 hours or keep it going without a timer.  You can use it with lights or without.  Just add water and a few drops of your favorite essential oil and you're good to go!  


The diffuser features whisper-quiet operation and the speakers offer high-quality sound so you can focus on your music, not background noise.


The unit comes with a wall cord for easy set up.  It can be removed easily for filling of the basin.


You can connect any Bluetooth-enabled smart device to play from your library or stream from your favorite music service.  This speaker works with iPhone and Android devices.


Here are a couple of your LED color-changing options:







Side note...I love that you can display the clock in 12 hour or 24 hour mode!  The kiddos have been learning how to read and use a 24 hour clock, so this is awesomely coincidental!

We are really enjoying our June and May Aroma Diffuser and Bluetooth Clock Speaker!  It's easy to move it from room to room as needed.  It really does help set the mood and has been a great tool for keeping the kiddos more chill this summer...a definite perk! 

I'm pretty impressed by the quality of the speaker and all of the other features don't disappoint!  If you are looking for a great speaker, make sure to check out FRESHeTECH!  They have a great selection of speakers for every budget!

Loved + Blessed: A Christian Faith-Based Subscription Box June Edition #partner


*DISCLOSURE* Thank you to Loved+Blessed for providing product samples in order to facilitate this post.  All thoughts are strictly my own.

We recently had the chance to review the June box from Loved + Blessed:


Loved + Blessed is a Christian faith-based subscription box service that delivers a box of encouragement right to your door each month.


Each box revolves around a central theme and comes with a mini poster, a sticker, a purse-sized scripture card and a gift.

The theme for the June box was Unstoppable:



The scripture card this month featured Ephesians 6:10-11 "Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.  Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes."





The special gift for June was an awesome bookmark!  


 This box also included an encouragement kit to pass along to a friend:


I definitely think there is room for Loved + Blessed in the subscription box market and I love that their mission is to deliver encouraging products that support a fantastic message!

If that wasn't enough, Loved + Blessed gives a portion of the proceeds of each box sold to Union Rescue Mission, a charity that offers hope and healing to the homeless.  What an amazing cause!

For just $15.99/month + $4 shipping and handling in the US, you can get your Loved + Blessed box or gift someone else with this monthly dose of encouragement today!
