Waxelene Review & Giveaway



Waxelene is the petroleum jelly alternative. 
NO petroleum. Only natural & organic ingredients.
Moisturize, protect, and soothe skin all in one!


I had the pleasure of reviewing Waxelene a petroleum Jelly alternative that is eco-friendly and biodegradable. What's not to love about that?

Waxelene is like petroleum jelly except 10 times better its Natural, eco- friendly, Its made in the US. Waxelene is eco-friendly down to the glass jars they DO NOT use plastic which is awesome!! Waxelene contains no petroleum or paragons they also don't do animal testing. It smells amazing and it goes on so nicely, its not greasy which I love. Really only need a small amount it goes a long way, so your jar will last you longer. 
Also only contains four amazing ingredients Organic Soybean Oil, 100% Natural Beeswax,Organic Rosemary Oil, 100% Natural Vitamin E. Take a look below to see what each ingredients in tails. 
 
Organic Soybean Oil
Non-hydrogenated, non-GMO, and of the absolute highest quality, our certified-organic soy oil is full of anti-oxidants, soy isoflavones, and unsaturated fatty acids. Fatty acids are extremely important in maintaining and restoring the health and the balance of the skin. Anti-oxidants such as Vitamin E and Vitamin B complex are fantastic for helping to keep the skin naturally beautiful and to prevent the development of wrinkles. Soy isoflavones such as Genisten help to increase the firmness, elasticity, and suppleness of skin.

100% Natural Beeswax
 Our natural beeswax locks in moisture, which protects, softens and regenerates skin. Beeswax also provides superior and lasting chafe/friction prevention for sports such as running and surfing as well as restrictive clothing/diapers, etc. We use only unbleached raw beeswax so it retains all of its beneficial natural qualities. It is naturally anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and anti-oxidant. According to the Food and Agriculture Association (FAO), "even small quantities show effects of improvement...". The Mayo clinic recommends balms made from beeswax for prevention and care of chapped lips. It has been used in skin balms for centuries because it works beautifully


Organic Rosemary Oil
 A touch of Certified Organic, non-GMO Rosemary Oil rejuvenates skin by providing natural anti-oxidant properties and improves blood circulation. It also works as a natural preservative and anti-bacterial for Waxelene without having to use synthetic preservatives like paragons.

100% Natural Vitamin E Oil
Distilled from non-GMO soybeans, our natural unrefined Vitamin E oil (also known as mixed tocopherols) is wonderful for the skin. We don't use synthetic Vitamin E such as Tocopherol Acetate. Its renowned anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties help to protect and regenerate skin cells.



There is so many uses for Waxelene you can use it for Soothing and moisturizing chapped, dry skin,Make-up & removing make-up, hands and feet, on babies, hair, after shave. Its nice to be know that you are using something natural on your body, face that won't harm you now or later down the line. 

My Experience 

Waxelene is amazing I used it on my lips, its been really cold here in Texas and chaps sticks don't do much for me. So I went ahead and used it on my lips and yes sure enough the next morning my lips felt soft and didn't hurt anymore, I also still had some on even after having it on all night. It last for a long time which is also super awesome. 
I also used it for my heels I wear sandals a lot and I always get the cracked heel effect from it. Which if you have not experienced that (your not missing out) it hurts and your heels crack and they also get hard and it hurts a lot. Well I figured I try it on my heels at night with a sock over it so that it wouldn't smear all over my blankets the next morning my heals were a lot better so Ive been using it a lot on my heals I want them to get better. Definitely a must have in my house now.

"THE BALM" JUICE those WIPES Review



So as promised another awesome review from "THE BALM" Products
Today its all about an awesome cloth wipe solution brought to you by
  "THE BALM" called JUICE those WIPES

When I started cloth diapering Ashton which was 2 months ago I said to myself "if you cloth diaper Ashton, you must also use cloth wipes." then I thought " but how am I going to keep them moist and smelling good?? Well for the first month I searched for wipe solutions on google. I found a lot of products to purchase and tons of recipes to make your own handmade solution. So I found a recepie that worked for me using water, tea tree oil, and aloe vera gel. Used this solution till I was introduced to "THE BALM" JUICE those WIPES here are some facts about them.




Our Natural Cloth Wipes Juice Concentrate is formulated with Taylor's liquid soap to be sure all those parts get clean! We blend herbally infused oils & yummy essential oils to moisturize and smell good! Even in the most humid climates, where bacteria breeds, our wipes juice will not go bad! Perfect for changing baby's precious bottom, or as reusable "wet ones" for wiping hands & faces!


This is a sample size

citrus + bombness scent love it !!
You can use any mixing bowl, your solution, 
water, wipes and measuring tsp.

I also used Megaroos Wipes love her wipes !!

I added  2 tsp to 32oz stir it and this is what it looks
 like once you stir it in.
You grab your wipes and submerge them until they are drenched.
If you have a wipe warmer you roll them up and organize them 
in there like I did in the picture.
Then you close it and use your wipes for diaper changes, 
I do this maybe every 3rd day.

My Experience 

Where do I start?  So far I've loved every single product that "THE BALM" has to offer Im totally hooked on "THE BALM" products. I love there scent its very fresh, very earthy, very hawaiian. My husband took me to hawaii two years ago and I loved everything about the Islands, there culture, food, and crafts. So having these products in my home reminds me of great times. Not to mention they work amazing. I don't know if you all notice if you wipe your babies bum with just water like some of us have or do (NOT JUDGING) please just want to get my point across sometimes there bums still have a smell, with "THE BALM" Juice those Wipes your babies bum smells so nice and just knowing that my babies bum is nice and clean makes me happy.
There is nothing you won't like about "THE BALM" Juice those Wipes
I no longer make my own solution I use Juice those Wipes, and Im almost 100% I will always have this product in stock in my Son's MUST HAVES!

You all might laugh but this is my "THE BALM" Shrine
and defiantly plan to add more to it.

Packing up the House!!

So as you all might know we are
moving at the end of the month!! We are super excited I can't wait.

I am feeling a bit sad, just because Ashton was brought home from the hospital here at our current home but like all things we move on and on to the next venture. Being in the military we move so much I can't wait till we have our own home and just be settled and not have to worry about "oh in 4 yrs we have to move again".

So just getting things ready packing up the house which can be hard having a little one they need your full attention and I'm trying to pack but then he starts to cry, and then he is hungry.
So sometimes at night when I should be sleeping is when I'm packing only time I can sometimes do things!!

How do you all manage having a little one at home?

Eco-Nuts Review & Giveaway

Eco-Nuts 
"You'd be nuts to not try it"

What??? You can wash cloth diapers with "nuts"?
Finding the right detergent that works for you can be so hard some times, there are so many to choose from, but which one really works for you is the question?
I had the pleasure of trying out some Eco-Nuts 
let me say I was pretty shocked!!
I had some nice clean cloth diapers which is what every cloth diapering moms wants!!

What are Eco-Nuts let me tell you
(You can also find this on there site)


Eco Nuts™  Soap Nuts are a berry that grows in the Himalayas that naturally produces a soap.  The soap is called saponin, a natural cleaner that works as a surfactant, breaking the surface tension of the water to penetrate the fibers of your clothing, lifting stains from the fabric and leaving dirt suspended in the water that is rinsed away. Eco Nuts™ are gentle on both clothes and skin, making them ideal for those with sensitive skin, eczema, allergies and psoriasis. Because they are so mild, they are perfect for baby clothes and cloth diapers.

Eco Nuts™ are great for cloth diapers because they do not contain any dyes, enzymes, softeners, or fragrances which contribute to the deterioration and excessive wear/tear on diapers.


Why to Love Eco-Nuts?
Click on the image to zoom in.



Okay so your thinking How do I use these Eco-Nuts 
In my laundry? well this is how.

1. You get 4-5 nuts and you place them inside the baggie provided and you tie it up.
2.You toss it in with your Dirty Diapers or regular laundry.
3. Washing machine makes that loud noise "beeeppppp" your Diapers or Laundry is done you grab your Eco-Nuts and place them to the side to dry and you will reuse them for another wash.
 You can re-use them about 10 times until they start to get soft then you can dispose of them throw them in your front lawn, backyard wherever you'd like.



My Experience 


Reviewing these Eco-Nuts was great I do love the way Eco-Nuts work and they are totally natural which I totally love. I washed my dirty diapers and clothes with Eco-Nuts for 1 week and let me say I loved it my clothes and diapers were clean they have no scent to them which is a good and bad thing!! With my clothes I love for them to smell nice like a certain fragrance, but I also love to have clean clean clothes so smelling good was not a huge deal because they were nice and clean. 

Overall - they are super easy to use which  initially I  thought "OMG these look like there going to be hard to use " but "NO" super easy even easier then regular detergent.
Eco-Nuts washed my dirty diapers and clothes very well did not have any funny smell my towels and shirts I noticed fluffier!! They smelled clean!! I love that you can re-use the Nuts up to 10 times thats also a money saver!! I don't know about you but I love to say money !! I loved Eco-Nuts I'm sure you will too
Not to mention one of the Owners Mona was super nice, very helpful 
I'm sure she would totally help you with any questions you all may have.
This is just a quick thought: God is so amazing he even gave us soap in a form of a "nut"
God is great!!
Eco-Nuts is giving away a medium sized box of "nuts" to one 
of my lucky readers !!

Leap Year !!

Leap Year!!

PLEASE READ !! God is Amazing!!!

What is it to you?? This is what I BELIEVE!!



NASA finds evidence that the Bible is TRUE!!!

For all you scientists out there and for all the students who have a hard time convincing these people regarding the truth of the Bible...here's something that shows God's awesome creation and shows that He is still in control.

Did you know that the space program is busy proving that what has been called "myth" in the Bible is true?

Mr. Harold Hill, President of the Curtis Engine Company in Baltimore Maryland and a consultant in the space program, relates the following development:

" I think one of the most amazing things that God has for us today happened recently to our astronauts and space scientists at Green Belt, Maryland. They were checking the position of the sun, moon, and planets out in space where they would be 100 years and 1000 years from now. We have to know this so we won't send up a satellite and have it bump into something later on its orbits. We have to lie out the orbits in terms of the life of the satellite, and where the planets will be so the whole thing will not bog down.

They ran the computer measurement back and forth over the centuries and it came to a halt. The computer stopped and put up a red signal, which meant that there was something wrong either with the information fed into it or with the results as compared to the standards. They called in the service department to check it out and they said, "What's wrong?"

Well, they found there is a day missing in space in elapsed time.

They scratched their heads and tore their hair.

There was no answer.

Finally, a Christian man on the team said, "You know, one time I was in Sunday school and they talked about the sun standing still."

While they didn't believe him, they didn't have an answer either, so they said, "Show us." He got a Bible and went back to the book of Joshua where they found a pretty ridiculous statement for any one with "common sense."

There they found the Lord saying to Joshua, "Fear them not, I have delivered them into thy hand; there shall not a man of them stand before thee." Joshua was concerned because he was surrounded by the enemy and if darkness fell, they would overpower them. So Joshua asked the Lord to make the sun stand still! That's right - "The sun stood still and the moon stayed---and hasted not to go down about a whole day!"

The astronauts and scientists said, "There is the missing day!"

They checked the computers going back into the time it was written and found it was close but not close enough.

The elapsed time that was missing back in Joshua's day was 23 hours and 20 minutes--not a whole day. They read the Bible and there it was "about (approximately) a day."

These little words in the Bible are important, but they were still in trouble because if you cannot account for 40 minutes you'll still be in trouble 1,000 years from now. Forty minutes had to be found because it can be multiplied many times over in orbits. 

As the Christian employee thought about it, he remembered somewhere in the Bible where it said the sun went BACKWARDS. The scientists told him he was out of his mind, but they got out the Book and read these words in 2 Kings. Hezekiah, on his death-bed, was visited by the prophet Isaiah who told him that he was not going to die. Hezekiah asked for a sign as proof. Isaiah said, "Do you want the sun to go ahead 10 degrees?" Hezekiah said, "It is nothing for the sun to go ahead 10 degrees, but let the shadow return backward 10 degrees."

Isaiah spoke to the Lord and the Lord brought the shadow ten degrees BACKWARD! 

Ten degrees is exactly 40 minutes !

Twenty-three hours and 20 minutes in Joshua, plus 40 minutes in Second Kings make the missing day in the universe! Isn't it amazing?

This is my Review & Awesome Experience 
with "Mad Rash/Sunscreen"

(Let me start off by saying both my 
daughter and son have sensitive skin)

My son Ashton had a horrible rash on his booty about a week and half ago or so. I honestly tried everything that I had in my houshold butt paste, desitin, cj's butter, and none of those were cutting it the butt paste actually burned my son and made it worse, CJ's normally always works but not this time. I wanted to cry, pull my hair because nothing I was doing was making his rash better. 


So I post a status on Facebook "Ashton has a rash what to do??" By this time I already had "the balm" products. Malena saids "girl rub some mad rash on him put a fleece liner and that will do it" she told me and I honestly was thinking of doing it but because I know Ashton's skin is sensitive I honestly was kinda scared to tell you the truth, but this was the perfect time to try out this Mad Rash out so, I go looking for a scrap of fleece I cut a piece out ( you can buy them already made or if you have a scrap of fleece that will do it just cut it big enough to cover baby's booty) I applied the Mad Rash /sunscreen put a fleece liner over his cloth diaper and prayed  that his rash go away!! 

Second changing came and let me just say I wanted to cry of joy!! His booty was already looking so much better!! I I think any mama hates seeing there baby's booty have a rash or in pain!! I took some pictures to show you mamas,  I know I like to see pictures to prove to me that something does work!! Well here they are!! 


That's what it first looked like. 

Later That Night
 Next day early morning


This is the reason why I stand behind  "THE BALM" products,
 it really does work!!The smell of "MAD RASH/SUNSCREEN" 
is so amazing you will love it. Its a great gift for yourself or for someone
