PITS! Natural Deodorant by Taylor's + Giveaway

Disclaimer: Product was provided in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.

It's been a while since I've stopped using store-bought deodorant and I'm not going back. All thanks to my favorite natural deodorant from Taylor's - PITS! It does sound a bit comical but this product is the real deal. Even the natural deodorants you buy at the store don't compare.

What's in It?

The list of organic ingredients used include:

• Shea butter
• Extra virgin olive oil
• Deodorizing herbal blend (calendula, rosemary, chamomile, lemon balm, and comfrey root)
• Hawaiian macadamia and coconut oil
• Baking soda (aluminum-free)
• Arrow root

The essential oils used to give the deodorant their fantastic scent depends on which variety you get. The one I currently use is Rose Vanilla which is made with pure vanilla bean extract and rose geranium essential oil.

The deodorant gives up to 18 hours of protection and absorbs quickly. Plus, you won't get that gunky residue that mass-made deodorants leave behind. No need to scrub your underarms off to get rid of it.

What Else Makes It Special?

-Not tested on animals

-Vegan

-Made in Hawaii

-No harsh chemicals or additives

-Plastic-free

-Made with Love ❤

It can also be used to keep stinky feet not-so-stinky. It might even help soften them!

The Bouqs Company - Fresh, Affordable Flowers

Disclaimer: I received this beautiful bouquet of flowers in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. This post contains affiliate links.

"A bouq is a bouquet, stripped of all the terrible baggage that typically goes with bouquets ordered online in the past – no bait and switch pricing, no long check-out process and endless upsells, no big and complicated supply chain, no waste and no wasted time or money. It’s bouquets, simplified."

If you're a lady you know that most of us love receiving flowers. I know I do! As much as I love having flowers to decorate my home with, I don't like that they wilt within a couple days and have to be discarded. Also, most online flower companies are expensive. I've browsed other online flower companies and noticed that even with their specials and sales, shipping is what really burns a whole in your wallet.
The Bouqs Company Flowers ordered from The Bouqs Company are as fresh as you can get them. They are cut on the day you order them and sent right from the farm to your door. No need to worry the condition your flowers arrive in - they are carefully packed in a box with lots of love. :)
What about shipping? The Bouqs Company offers a flat fee of $40 with shipping included and no hidden fees! Shipping is available in all 50 states.
Eco-friendly and Sustainable The Bouqs Company exclusively works with farms that are independently certified by 3rd party agencies such as Veriflora and The Rainforest Alliance as being sustainable and eco-friendly.
The Great Pumpkin I had the pleasure of receiving The Great Pumpkin (Orange Lillium Asiatic) bouquet a day before my birthday. These flowers are part of the Volcano Collection and are perfect for the fall season. They are a vibrant orange color.
When the bouquet arrived, the flowers were still in their bud form. It took about 2 days for them to bloom.

The flowers do last a few days longer than a lot of the other bouquets I've received in the past. Mostly in part because they are delivered fresh to your door. Their flowers are fed by pure volcanic snow melt and mineral-rich soil. How cool is it that they grow on a volcano in South America?

BALM! Baby Diaper Balm and First Aid Being a mom, we know all too well the pain that comes with diaper rashes. They range from mild to severe and make for a very cranky baby. I've used a few different diaper rash creams before but none of them compare to this one!

BALM! Baby's Diaper Balm is organic and made with 100% natural ingredients. It's even safe to use with cloth diapers and gentle enough for newborns! This would make the perfect gift for new and expectant moms. I loooove the way it smells too. :)
It doubles as a first aid balm with its unique healing properties. What else can you use it for?

• Eczema
• Cuts & scrapes
• Burns (including sunburns)
• Cradle cap
• Bug bites

The balm (which is made in Hawaii) is also vegan and cruelty-free.
So far I've used it on my 2-year old's diaper rash and a few scrapes. The healing time is fast - I saw great results within a few hours after application.

BALM! Baby Teeth Paste - Cleaning Little Teeth Naturally!

Disclaimer: As a BALM! Baby blogger, I received the mentioned product to share my review with you. All opinions are my own.

Finding the right toothpaste for my toddler can be a hassle sometimes. I'll usually look for fluoride-free products. The problem is when I look at the ingredients, the paste contains parabens and other weird ingredients I can't pronounce. Or if it happens to be paraben-free, it contains fluoride! 

Many store-bought toothpastes have way too many harmful chemicals in them, which is why I avoid buying them.

My new favorite way to get Z's teeth fresh and clean is by using BALM! Baby's Teeth Paste.

The BALM! Baby Teeth Paste is natural and contains no harmful ingredients or artificial flavors. Pure essential orange oil (safe blend) is used to flavor the paste. I use a pea-size amount (as directed) and let Z brush his teeth. I'll always help him out to make sure his teeth have been thoroughly cleaned.

• GMO-free
• Vegan
• Made in the USA

I'm really impressed with BALM! Baby Teeth Paste - it smells so good, it's safe, and I know my little guy loves brushing his teeth. I also love that his breath smells like he ate a bunch of oranges. ;)

BALM! Baby Teeth Paste can be purchased online here. You can also use the Find a Retailer button on the site to search for a store.
