GretchenA says "This soap is NOT boring vanilla!" about Indigo Wild Zum Bar Goats Milk Soap

I love vanilla... I received some Indigo Wild Zum Bar Goat's Milk Soap last Christmas and I loved it! It smelled sooooo good, and was so creamy and luxurious... best present ever!

I’m pretty picky about my soaps and shampoos and lotions, so it was important to me that it was all-natural. It has natural vanilla, and olive and coconut oils, plus the goat’s milk, which contains natural fats that make your skin feel soooooo soft! Zum Bars are all natural and they don’t have artificial fragrance or coloring added. When I ran out, I went to Whole Foods for more, and they wanted major bucks... Sorry, but I’m on a budget... I went to the website, and it really wasn't any less money, so I looked some more and found this company called Soap Hope at www.soaphope.com . The prices were great ($3.99 -- TONS less) and the shipping was low (and FAST!). The packaging was cute and environmentally-friendly. Also, the flyer that came with the soap mentioned they contribute...

GretchenA says "I know this feels good, but..." about Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Renew Daily Moisture Lotion - Anti-Sun Damage

I used to use Garnier products too, and I loved them all (and the coupons in the paper), but then a friend told me about this website: http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/product.php?prod_id=98533

I know a lot of people will question the information, but I don't think this database profits any specific company -- it's just for your info. And some of it is pretty scary! After looking at the ingredients, and the hazards, I switched to something else. I started researching everything in my bathroom, everything I put on my body, and my kids' bodies. Just wanted to share...

GretchenA says "Nothing comes between me and my Burt's Bees" about Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm

Not that this needs another endorsement, but I'm a newbie so I thought I'd start out here... I can't live without Burt's Bees Lip Balm. It's a good foundation for lipstick and lipgloss. I don't leave the house without it; I buy two and three at a time and keep them throughout the house and in every purse. I even keep one in the car (except for the dog days of the Texas summer!) I give them as gifts, stocking stuffers, etc. I'm so glad you can find it in almost every store now. I heart Burt's Bees Lip Balm!
