This Giveaway Has Ended -- Dr. Woods All-Natural Soap Review and Giveaway
My family tried two bar soaps (baby mild and peppermint) and the Dr. Woods tea tree facial cleanser.
The bar soaps were mild, but definitely lathered well and weren't irritating to your skin. I don't think my skin is sensitive, but in the winter some soaps can be drying. Dr. Woods wasn't.
The tea tree cleanser is for those with combination or oily skin, in my opinion--or you might want to use it if you're having a breakout. I have teenagers, so I am having them use it. It isn't harsh, but as it says on Dr. Woods' website, this cleanser is great for absorbing excess oil and declogging your skin.
It is important to me not to put a long list of chemicals and artificial ingredients on my skin. If you feel the same way, you'll be glad to know all of Dr. Woods' products are
- All natural
- Have no animal ingredients
- Have no artificial colors
- Are not tested on animals
- pH balanced
- Biodegradable
- Have no lauryl/laureth sulfates
- Paraben and phthalate free

This Giveaway Has Ended -- Ottilie & Lulu Skin and Hair Care for Tweens Review and Giveaway
I was recently sent some hair products from the tween skin and hair care line Ottilie & Lulu. I gave the "Feel Good Shampoo & Body Wash" and "Shiny Silky Detangler & Conditioner" to my niece to try while our families were spending a week at the beach for a wedding.
The shampoo and conditioner have a very minty and fresh scent. That was our first impression. We were also curious to see how these products would work on my niece Elise's hair since she was spending time in the ocean and in the chlorinated pool--not to mention the humidity.
After washing her hair and using the conditioner, Elise, her mom, and I all thought her hair had a light fresh scent. More importantly, her hair was soft and manageable. This was extra important because she was IN the wedding, and wanted her hair to look its best!
If your tween girl is like my niece, she will love having her very own special skin and hair care products. What a great way to encourage your daughter to start taking care of herself.
The Ottilie and Lulu line includes face wipes, everyday moisturizer with SPF20, shampoo and body wash, detangler and conditioner (all in one), and a body glow lotion. The products are created with gentle formulations without, Parabens, Phthalates, Sodium Lauryl Sulfates, Mineral Oil, or Petroleum by-products. Instead, Ottilie and Lulu offers natural ingredients that are less harsh and more nurturing to younger skin and hair including:
• Anti-oxidants for protection against environmental stress • Vitamins, Wheat Protein and Jojoba Protein to keep young skin nourished and healthy
• Chamomile Flower, Lemon Extract and other Botanicals that soothe
If you'd like to check out all of Ottilie & Lulu's products for your tween, find them here.
You can also WIN the products my niece tried: the "Feel Good Shampoo & Body Wash" and "Shiny Silky Detangler & Conditioner."

Easy, DIY Laundry Detergent -- It's Simple to Make, So Inexpensive, & It Works!
I recently took the plunge and tried a frugal experiment I'd been thinking about for awhile. Some of you may want to try this one yourself.
I'm talking about making my own laundry detergent! It was incredibly easy and very inexpensive. I'm wondering now what took me so long to try it.
I'm talking about making my own laundry detergent! It was incredibly easy and very inexpensive. I'm wondering now what took me so long to try it.
I used a simple three-ingredient recipe I found online for a powdered detergent. The liquid ones seemed like too much work, but this recipe is as easy as mixing together dry ingredients in any baking recipe. If you can mix flour and sugar, you can do this!All of my ingredients cost about the same as just one bottle of good quality liquid detergent, but should last for several months, may-be longer. The recipe I used only requires two tablespoons of detergent per large load, since it's so concentrated. By the way, all the ingredients were available at my local grocery store. (I'll give you the recipe below.)
So far, after many loads of laundry, this detergent's doing a great job for me. It smells like "soap" but the clothes come out of the washer with almost no scent.
If you'd like to add scent, you can use dryer sheets or liquid fabric softener. Many people with sensitive skin like this detergent because it is free of artificial dyes and fragrances. And, I should mention my family's clothes are coming out clean--may-be even a little brighter than before.
If you want to save money--and you can save quite a bit--don't be afraid to trying making your own laundry detergent. It is so easy!
Here's the recipe I'm using--

Here's the recipe I'm using--
Mix together:
Use 2 tablespoons for a large load (adjust for smaller or less soiled loads of clothes)
I found all these products at the end of the laundry area up on the top shelf in the grocery store. They are also available in Walmart. My parents are giving this a try too, and they found these products at Ace Hardware.
Update: I have been using this detergent for over three years, which tells you I'm very pleased with it. I use dryer sheets in the winter to cut down on static cling and to add fragrance. By the way, I cut them in half, and they work just as well.
I hope you'll consider giving this recipe a try. It's so easy to make a part of your routine, and you'll feel great when you get to walk past those expensive laundry detergents.
