Australian Made - French Milled Natural Soap Review

Fragrant Natural Soap from Australia..

 

 

 

Who would have thought this beautiful country would make and offer for sale premium and natural soaps that are available for purchase in  the USA.  Email inquires are welcome with questions to david@australiansoap.com

 

Australian Soap sent me three of their French-milled soap bars for review.  I first was curious what French-milled meant.  I learned this process produces a consistent premium quality soap bar.  It increases the lathering effect and makes the bar much more durable and long lasting.  So it creates a bar of soap that is worth its money and you will not wash most of it down your drain.

 

I also found out that Australian Soap is crafted with plant oil (no animal fats are used) so it will not dry out your skin.  So, if you skin is not dry you will need to use less lotions, which saves money in the long run.

 

I was delighted at the strong fragrances of the three bars I was sent to review.  I could actually smell them prior to opening up the package they arrived in.  Each time I have used my Australian Soap I am able to enjoy the fragrance throughout the day and my skin feels moisturized.  I did save one of the bars and have tucked it into my wardrobe cabinet.  It leaves my clothing smelling fresh and beautiful. 

Don't worry that you will not be able to afford Australian Soap.  They offer amazing deals like:

Perfective Ceuticals - Replenish Moisture Cream for Sensitive Skin

I am very impressed at how Perfective Ceuticals (can be found on Facebook) intermingles cutting edge science with nature (Naturally derived ingredients) and century old methods that have worked and continue to work.

This company understands the importance of working with experts like renowned biochemists, doctors and medical specialists.  By combining all this knowledge advanced formulas that target aspects of skin aging can be accomplished.

My skin is very sensitive, especially my face.  So, it is great to find a moisture cream that actually makes my skin feel nourished and refreshed. 

Perfective Ceuticals Replenish Moisture Cream for Sensitive Skin when on so nice and smooth.  It only took a few minutes for it to totally absorb into my skin.  It made my skin feel and look younger without any burning or discomfort.  My facial dryness is totally gone thanks to Perfective Ceuticals.  The only thing I would like to see is an unscented version.  I am not a girly girl so the pretty rose scent does not fit my personality.  But, I did receive compliments on how nice I smelled...so it wasn't a bad thing.  Maybe it is time for me to get in touch with my feminine side now that I look younger.

DaddyScrubs Giveaway / Review $54.95 Value - Perfect Daddy To Be Gifts

Anyone out there know an expectant father?  Or how about is a daddy too be?  Or even a proud Papa?

Well, I recently had the opportunity to share a review with my husband and father of our 3 boys (aka...Proud Papa).  And this product is a must have for any expectant father gifts or a great present for all Fathers. (Keep reading for your chance to win a pair of these too!)

 

DaddyScrubs

This practical and extremely comfortable creation was conceived when Robert Nickell a father of four children, remarried in 2007 and found out he was about to be a father all over again in the fall of 2009.

Robert did not want to have to go through wearing very uncomfortable street clothes while caring for his laboring love and wife.  So he came up with the idea of creating doctor like scrubs for himself...how perfect since Robert is a pharmacist by profession.

Robert wanted to make sure there was NO confusion between who was the Doctor and who was the Daddy so the concept of "I'm The Daddy" medical scrubs was born.

My husband was so excited to be able to show off his excitement around our house wearing his DaddyScrubs as they make perfect lounge wear or pajamas.  He can't wait to get done with work for the day to slip into his DaddyScrubs and relax.

But, they can also be worn around the hospital for those soon to be dads!

All DaddyScrubs are machine washable and come in sizes from small to 5X large.

I love how the pants include a drawstring so they can be adjusted for the perfect and very comfortable fit - I know I wish I had a pair for myself.

The top has a v-neck and a left chest pocket that has the word, "DADDY" on it.  The back of the top has the words "I'M THE DADDY" for all the world to see.

I love how DaddyScrubs are offered in two different styles (Edgy and Classic).  My husband chose the Edgy style and as you have ready above he loves them.  They also are offered in three different colors (Navy, Green and Khaki). 

 

I would love to know which style the man in your life would love to own.....as maybe you will be the lucky winner of a set of DaddyScrubs....Enter below for you chance to win!

 

And don't forget to check out DaddyScrubs and see all the other great products they offer.

Win 3 Piece Bamboo Accessory Bathroom / Kitchen Kit from TolietTree $39.95 Value Giveaway

Afforable, Beautiful and Functional are the top three words I have to describe this amazing TolietTree Eco-Friendly Product.

TolietTree 3 Piece Bamboo Accessory Kit

Once my Bamboo beauty arrived to review (and one lucky person will also win one of their own...keep reading to find out how to enter below)...I couldn't believe how functional this welcome addition to my bathroom was (but it can be used also in a kitchen).

I must share that this product is made from 100% Natural Eco-Friendly Bamboo...and it is so elegant yet durable and beautiful!!

We have been using our TolietTree 3 Piece Bamboo Accessory Kit in our bathroom for over a month now and have had not a single problem.  And that is saying a lot, as it is getting a lot of attention from my 3 boys and my darling husband.

I filled the pump dispenser with hand soap - but another option could be hand lotion and even dish soap.  It is very easy to fill, just by unscrewing the top. 

The toothbrush holder will keep four toothbrushes in place.  The silver covered top is easily removed and can be cleaned simply.  The top can also be taken off and this holder can be used with out the set spots for toothbrushes....humm it could be used to store so many different things. 

The soap dish is also easy to maintain.  The silver colored grate can be simply removed to access for cleaning or to simply leave off.

This set is a great size...7.5in H x 6in L x 7.25in W.

I want to make sure to mention that the pump dispenser and the toothbrush holder can be removed from the 3 piece set and used separately.  So this is very functional and can be adapted to many uses.

You can purchase your own TolietTree 3 piece bamboo accessory kit from Amazon.com and enter below for your chance to win one below!

Dial Antibacterial Foaming Hand Wash - A Must Have!

I can't believe Christmas is already over!  But I am so ready to Ring in the New Year in style.  I love finding ways to add seasonal, yet functional touches around my home.

As anyone who knows me and my family...you can only guess on how much hand soap we go through on a daily basis.  That is why I love finding creative and fun ways to decorate with hand soap.  Plus the more fun the hand soap is the more my boys use it.  And the more they use it, the more germs are killed on their precious hands.

So, when I was given the chance to try out Dial Complete Foaming Hand Wash which was all decked out for the Holidays; I quickly agreed.

 

Look at the great and festive bottles offered by Dial.

My boys couldn't wait to set one of our Holiday bottles out in the bathroom and get busy washing there hands (over and over and over).  There were many days I couldn't find them...they were lined up in the bathroom trying out the Dial Complete Foaming Hand Wash.  I was pleasantly surprised as it didn't dry out their gentle skin.  Plus, I loved the hand wash scent.  And a side note...I was excited to see how long a bottle actually lasted in our house with all the frequent uses.

I was pleased to learn Dial Complete is #1 doctor recommend antibacterial foaming hand wash.  It kills 99.99% of germs encountered in the household setting.

Learn more about Dial on their website and Facebook.


Dial provided a free sample of their Holiday Foaming Hand Soap so I could review them.  However, all the opinions expressed here are my own.

NEW On The Go Accessory Pouch Giveaway / Review $30 Value! Active Accessories

As a very active mom and fitness freak!  Yes, I said freak!

I am so addicted to working out!  But, one of the biggest challenges I have come across with being so active is keeping all the necessary items safe and with me during my workouts. 

Who reading this totally understands? 

Okay, here is my situation.  I am in my limited workout clothes...no pockets or very tiny pockets...no sleeves....So?  Where do I keep my keys?  My extra cash?  My gym key card?  My necklace that bangs around on my neck?  My rings?  Of course my phone??  How about any medications...especially if you suffer from asthma?

I don't have to worry about any of these things thanks to an amazing opportunity to review and GIVEAWAY a great and functional product....

The On-The-Go Accessory Pouch from Active Accessories. 

This workout necessity is available for purchase on Amazon.com and is even on sale right now at an amazing value....Only $14.95...its retail value is $30!!  And use Amazon Claim Code AAFREEI2 to get Free Shipping!

This brand new company has created a winning product in my world!  What a creative, innovative and sporty product...Perfect for your New Year's Resolution to get Fit!!!  You can find Active Accessories on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest (like for extra entries below for this great giveaway prize!)

This functional pouch allows you no more excuses to get fit and stay active!!

Let me tell you all about my new found workout friend...the On the Go Accessory Pouch...

It is so light!  Only weighing 2.4 ounces yet very durable and strong.  I love the size of this On the Go Accessory Pouch...as is it small, yet large enough to hold a smart phone and all your smaller belongings.

The exterior is made of Ripstop Nylon and the interior polyester. The reason polyester is used on the inside....it is strong yet can cushion your valuables.

Check out the snap button holder!!

You can secure your rings and even hoop earrings so they don't get lost!  And as you can see in the above photo the Ripstop nylon handle with hook is great so you can use this pouch as a clutch or clip it onto any bag.  I also love to clip mine on a loop inside my workout shorts and then I can tuck it securely into my waist band.

I love the two inside pocket options.  As you can see one zip open widely and...

The other pocket holds belongings with an elastic band across the top.  I like putting my son inhaler in this one..as I can get to it very quickly.

I can't imagine a workout with out having my On-The-Go-Accessory Pouch!  Great concept, Great Product!! Highly Recommended!
