Uncle Harrys Products

01/15/2014

I love  love Uncle Harrys all natural products, their website is www.uncleharrys.com
They have virtually everything for skin care, they have simple organic ingredients  in there products.
My favorite products is the African Hair care Organic  Coconut  Oil .  It has in it coconut oil Hemp oil, burdock root nettes essential oils of geranium, lavender lemon rosemary and tea tree oil.  It smells amazing.
I also love their All natural Body Buffer Scrub.  This product is in a word amazing.  I have what you call alligator skin because I  think from  having both Type 1   Diabetes and also Celiac Disease.  This  product has done wonders for me.  I just wash with Uncle Harry's powdered soap then afterwards slather this on while being in the shower.  It smells so good.  I used the Citrus Delight.  It looks and feels like a solid coconut oil but with a lot of salt to it.  You just take a bit out rub it together on your hands and smooth it all over your body but  of course make sure it does not go into your eyes and rinse. This product is also great as a beauty treatment for your face.    Instantly my skin comes alive and smells wonderful.  my skin feels soft smooth and looks great.  Usually after I take a shower after about an hour I  am scratching away and my skin becomes red and hot, not with this product my skin stays well hydrated.  The ingredients are Sea Salt Apricot Kernel oil  orange, lemon and lime essential oils.  This is I feel my favorite of all their products.  My next favorite product is the African Hair Care Shampoo.  This is made with African Black Soap.  The full ingredients are African black Soap Castile  Soap Apple Cider Vinegar Organic Virgin Shea Butter hemp oil and essential oils of lavender rosemary lemon tea tree oil.  They have tooth paste powders that I also love and one of my top favorites is their Oatmeal and Coconut Soap Powder.  This  I love it comes in a small container and you just put a little soap powder in the palm of your hand mix some water  to it and there you have a rich creamy indulgent soap.  It comes in Peppermint and Lavender scents..  I personally love them both but if I  had to pick one over the other I  love the Peppermint the best it smells like a Peppermint and white chocolate scent to me.  This product I also love because if you are on a camping trip or even just in a long car ride you an pull this product out put a little in your hands mix with a bottle of some spring water and you can feel clean and refreshed without having to find a bathroom on the side of the  road or just running into a pit stop some where you have everything you need right with you .    One of the things I love about Uncle Harry's products is that they have a couple different sizes of their products.  So that if you are not sure if you would like a product you can just try out the smaller size and see how great it is and then get the bigger size.  Their products are extremely economical.   Their packaging is simple not fancy but the products themselves are fancy and amazing you will not be sorry.   My advise to you is to go ahead and try out these fantastic products..  The website once again is www.uncleharrys.com.  I do not work for this company at all I wish I did . I just wanted to let you know how great their products work.  I also have paid for every product I tried out.

Thank you again

Laundry Pills

12/07/2013

I think I just found the top dog in Laundry Detergents.  This Laundry Detergent is Hypoallergenic , Unscented Antibacterial .  It cleans extremely well and for an all natural Laundry Detergent is is cost effective.  This Laundry Detergent is not your usual Laundry Detergent it comes in a capsule.
You would use 2 capsules for a small load
                       3 capsules for a medium - large load of clothes
                       4 capsules for a large to extra large load of clothes.
This Laundry detergent also has a built in fabric softener in it.
I Love Love this Laundry Detergent
This Laundry Detergent can be found on the website www.shecology.com and you will want to look for the Laundry Pills.  You get 100 Laundry Pills for 10.00 plus shipping.  When you  want to reorder it again you  would save the jar that it came in and order the Laundry Pill Reorder bag.  Once you get it in the mail you would just open it and put it in the jar.  The reorder bag is even less money it  is 8.00 plus 1.00 shipping.
Mary  Fox the owner of the company has Goat Milk Soaps all natural Micro fiber cloths for cleaning.
and if you  love Soap Nuts like I do she also has them.
You  have to try this out you will not be sorry just go to her website www.shecology.com and order some of her great products particularly her Laundry Pills

Soapnuts

12/03/2013



I did a post about a year ago on Soap nuts
I thought I would write about it again , I thought maybe not everyone saw the posting .
Soap nuts are really a type of  berry in India.  In India they use Soap nuts to do their laundry and to bathe.  Soap nuts  look like an Acorn. When they are boiled they release suds.  This is not like a rich shampoo type of suds this is a very mild type of low sudsing action  but it does the job. They can be used for all types of things in your house hold.  They can be used for doing your laundry by putting about 5 Soap nuts in a small sock or canvas draw string bag, pop this into your washing machine and that is it.  You can reuse the bag about 4 more times to do your wash.  These Soap nuts are so economical.  You can also use them to make a shampoo.  All you would do is once again when you take the canvas bag or sock out of the washing machine  place it into a sauce pan and fill it with hot water.  Place this on the stove and let it boil for about a half of an hour.  Take it off the stove and let it cool down.  Once it has cooled down take the canvas or sock out of the water.  Now what I usually do is get an empty hand soap container that has been well rinsed  and then I put the water from the soap nuts into the bottle.  This is now my shampoo.  You can use it as is or you can make up your own concoctions.  I have dry hair so what I usually do is put it about three quarters the way up the bottle then add to it  a tablespoon of honey and a teaspoon of olive oil and if I feel like a fragrance then I pick out an essential oil and put about 15 drops in and that is my shampoo.  You  can make house hold cleaners with soap nuts.  Where I usually buy my Soap nuts is from a website called Laundry tree www.laundrytree.com  I like the way she sells the Soap nuts.  She has starter kits that are 14.95   They come with a choice of an  essential oil .  So you get the Soap nuts and a essential oil to make your  own  home made laundry cleaner shampoo or house hold cleaner .  You can even make your very own pest controller with them.    If you  put in your search engine all  the uses for Soap nuts you can see all the things you can make to make your household more economical using Soap nuts and more safer to the environment  It is like having one item to make almost everything you will need or want with having all natural products in your household

EO EVERYONE SOAP FOR EVERYONE AND EVERY BODY BY EO PRODUCTS

11/03/2013

Everyone  Soap  for everyone and every body  is a Shampoo , Body Wash and Bubble Bath
It is from a company called EO Products.  
This product and most of all the EO Produts are gluten free
I love this product I use it for everything,I use t for bathing , cleaning the house and even I use it for doing the laundry and of course washing my hair. 
.  . 
They do have a product for laundry and doing  the floors that is the EO All Purpose Soap
The EO all Purpose Soap is fantastic  to do laundry,  wash your dishes, your floors,  and also your furry friends. .
  
I love that the  products are all  natural and they have great scents like Citrus / Mint ,   Lavender ,  and they do have and unscened one.  The cost for the Everyone Soap for everyone and every body is at  some of the Giant Food Stoes in their Organic Aisle it  is $ 9.99 for 32oz.  This is a  fantasic price for such a great product and the amount you get for it.  They aso have other locations in the area that carry thee products. Most Target  stores carry these products too.   

The Evryone Soap for everyone and every body is an all natural plant based soap made with pure essential oils.
One of the main reasons whyI love  this  product and all of these  EO  products is that they are just simple all natural products that work  They put right on their bottles that they are Gluten Free
They are also extremely moisturizing.  When I  use the Everyone Soap for everyone and every body after showering I do not have  to use a moisturizer after I get  out of the shower

When I get out of the shower before using this product I would have to slather a lot of moistuizer on but with this product  I don't  have to do that, my skin just feels soft and feels great without having to put anything extra onto my skin

The website for all the great Eo Produts is www.eoproducts.com

I hope you will try out these products and see how well they will work for you

ATLAST FLY SPRAY

10/01/2013

Hello All:

I know I do a lot of blogs on natural skin care and today I  am doing the same but for our furry friends for Flea and Tick control plus to help out with itchy skin for dogs. 
I was looking for a product for my dogs for flea and tick control plus skin issues that was all natural.
I strive to find natural products for myself for skin care and I just thought I  need to do  the same for my animals.  There are a lot of natural products for pets but it is hard to find one that does basically everything I  want it to do such as help with my dog's skin keep fleas and ticks away and does not smell like a chemistry lab.and is safe for my animals
I found that product with Atlast Fly Spray which is a deterent for flies  but for dogs it acts as a flea and tick deterent and killer. 
My dog has a lot of skin issues she scratches all the time and her hair has begun to fall out.  I received the Atlast Fly Spray as a sample to try out.  I sprayed it on my dog and instantly she stopped scratching.  Her hair now is begining to come back in now and of course no more fleas or ticks yeah ! . 
The scent to the Atlast Fly Spray to me is very pleasant it does smell like Cedar and it looks like milk.  It is all natural which I love and the best part is it works
The website is www.atlastflyspray.com
On the left  side of the page you will see that is helps out for the control of flies, fleas ticks for dogs horses and is a natural pest control plus it helps with skin issues to soothe and clear any skin issues that your dog might have of course you should not spray it on his or her face but everyting else is fine. 
I do have one dog that does not like to have the spray sprayed on him, he is my demented one so with him I always need a bit more care with everything I do.  For him I shake the bottle spray a little on my hands and then put it through my dog's fur.  He then is a happy camper and once again no fleas.  I also shake the bottle and spray it on my dog's little beds plus our couches but of course always spray a little in an in a spot where no one will see just to  make sure it does not change any colors to your couches.  For me this has not happened I just want to put it our there just in case. 
All I can say is I  love this product.  They also say that if you do use Frontline or any one of those types of products and you are still having issues with fleas and ticks you can get this spray and spray it  on your animals for extra protection without harming them with putting more of the Frontoine type products on your animals.
It is just nice to find a product that works and is safe for my animals
It does not say anything on their website or on the bottle but I  have noticed since I started using this product no more spiders which I am quite happy with.  I hate with a passion spiders and of course fleas and ticks

Thank you
