I have been wanting to try Soap Nuts to wash my laundry for a while now, and finally got my chance. The nice people at BuySoapNuts.com sent me a bag to sample!

Eco-Friendly Friday: The Jury Is Still Out!
The Eco-Friendly product I have been reviewing for this week's Eco-Friendly Friday post is still undergoing rigorous testing in the Mom Always Finds Out "Lab" -- otherwise known as My Laundry Room! I am excited to share my experiences with this product, but decided to postpone my review for a week so that I could have a little more time to use the product and form my opinions. It is important to me to give you the best information I can, so ...
TheraBreath Oral Care Review & Giveaway (2 Winners!)
Most of us have probably wondered at one time or another if our breath really smelled fresh. Or found ourselves talking to someone and hoping that our breath smelled fresh, despite the fact that it had been hours since we last brushed our teeth and we didn't happen to have a piece of gum or breath mint. What if you learned about a line of all-natural oral care products, called TheraBreath, that were 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed to stop bad ...
Eco-Friendly Friday: Pamper Yourself With Natural Soaps
I am a handmade soap lover! I can browse online soap shops for hours, looking at all the beautiful colors and textures, and imagining what the delicious-sounding fragrances smell like. (Although I know EATING soap is wrong...doesn't "Orange Pound Cake" sound like it would taste SO good?) If you are looking for an easy way to incorporate natural products into your lifestyle, swap your old soaps for beautifully handcrafted soap like the ones ...
Naturally Fresh Deodorant & Lip Product Review & Giveaway (3 Winners!)
I have been actively seeking an effective all-natural deodorant for many months. I have used several different products, but was never completely satisfied.

Recently, I began using Naturally Fresh Deodorant and knew I had finally found “The One.” All of their products are 100% natural and contain no harmful aluminum or parabens ...
Should You Try an All-Natural Deodorant?
Would you use a deodorant if it had this label on it? I would hope not! But did you know that if you currently use deodorant that is not all-natural, you are exposing your body to dangerous chemicals on a daily basis? I challenge you to Google the ingredients list found on your deodorant. I guarantee that the scary facts you learn about those ingredients will have you at least considering a switch to a much healthier alternative: all-natural ...
Eco-Friendly Friday: Biokleen Floor Cleaner Review & Giveaway
I love a clean house! And as part of my resolution to incorporate Eco-Friendly products into my household, it only makes sense to begin replacing my mainstream cleaners with greener choices like Biokleen. This week, I had the opportunity to try Biokleen’s Citrus Essence Multi-Surface Floor Cleaner. Natural and effective, it is safe to use on all sealed and water-safe floors such as Hardwood, Marble, Linoleum, Ceramic Tile, Laminate, Stone, and ...
Eco-Friendly Friday Part One: Nancy’s Organic Whole Milk Yogurt (Review)
This week, Eco-Friendly Friday has a yogurt theme. Part One is all about Nancy's Yogurt - the Organic Whole Milk in "Plain" flavor. Part Two (You Can Make Your Own Organic Yogurt in a Crockpot) can be seen BY CLICKING HERE. My family LOVES yogurt. We ended up trying Nancy's Yogurt brand this week on accident -- I sent my husband to the store with a grocery list, and it is funny how he has no sense of brand loyalty and often brings home ...
