NUTRIBIOTIC FRAGRANCE FREE SUPER SHOWER GEL

08/31/2011

Nutribiotic Super Shower gels is an all over moisturizing, hypoallergenic soap  free gel that moisturizes your skin and hair
it comes in fragrance free fruit or Vanila Chai scents This product has Grape Fruit  Seed Extract in it.  I do like this product very much
It is free of sodium lauryl sulfate it is free of chlorine derivatives colorings and paraben preservatives
It has plant moisturizers in it.  If you do not like the whole idea of shampoo bars this is not  one .  It's an all liquid gel that has 12 oz. and is super moisturizing for an all over head to foot spa like feel to it
The website is www.nutribiotic.com
Once you go on the website go to the heading of Body Care then go to The Nutribiotic Shower Gels
I chose the Fragrance Free Shower Gel since I am usually allergic to everything that has a scent to it.  I can have a few products that have scents in them but not many
I tried it out on my hair it was very nice it lathered very well and my hair was soft shinny and so far no reaction, always a plus with no reactions
I am impressed with this product it did  a great job and it is also all natural .
I like once again a product that does everything all in one.
I think you will be amazed with this product.
They also do have regular  moisturizing shampoos and conditioners but they  are not fragrance free
Once again the website is www.nutribiotic.com 
I just tried the Nutribiotic Fruit Conditioner and it was fantastic.
I had done a Henna coloring on my hair and my hair from it was a little bit fried from it I tried the conditioner and instantly my hair was like it  just got a jolt of steroids it  was soft and full of volume. I did not leave it in for very long it  was just a rinse through the difference was like night and day.   The shine to it is amazing and with the Henna the highlights are stunning you will love this product.
The Nutribiotic Shampoo Gel and Conditioner are like having a powerful boost in hair care .  The combination is like a knock out punch your hair is clean soft manageable and full of volume and shine all the aspects  of what you want in hair care .  T.he best part is that it is all natural


Thank You

UPDATES ON PRODUCTS THAT I HAVE REVIEWED

08/30/2011

Canyon Bake House Breads are finally coming to Pennsylvania
The company found a distributor for the Pennsylvania area
I ordered a case from Holly Hill Health Food Store
they are located at      1200 Welsh Rd
                                 North Wales Pa  19454
                                 215 361 7770
Their hours of operation are Monday Tuesday Wednesday and Saturday 10-6 Thursday and Friday 10 - 9 and Sundays 11:00AM - 5 PM
The Canyon Bake House San Juan Bread will be at Holly Hill Health Food Store on Thursdday afternoon of this week
This bread is outstanding it is soft like real bread and it is almost the same size as real bread this is my ultimate favorite gluten free bread
Holly Hill Health Food Store at the Montgomery Coomons Shopping Center  is trying out this bread in their store so let them know you want it .  This is the only store in Pennsylvania that is carrying this bread
We have to let them know we want this bread so that it can come into other stores.
If this store is not close to you please find a health food store that is close to you call that store ask them if they would try bringing in this bread
If they say we do not have a distributor to bring it in Pennsylvania all you have to do is let them know that a fairly new distributor company has come in and they do carry the bread.  The name of the distributor company is Garden Spot Distributors.  they are located in New Holland PA, their telephone number is 1800 829 5100
The store that you have called will ask you if you want a whole case in most cases you will not have to buy a whole case just tell them up front you only want 1 loaf in most cases they will say that they prefer you buy two loaves.  this is not bad you figure if you had it delivered it would be more money then the two loaves
I am so excited that we can have this bread in Pennsylvania

The website www.all-gluten-free.com has many specials and sales  and some of them are free shipping so when you place order for them always look at their items that are on sale you might see free shipping for the item you want
I also wanted to let you know that their gluten free lipsticks are fantastic .  They ware very well and last a long time and they can be used as a blush also just put a dot or two on your cheeks and rub in You have instant blush




www.southlandsoap.com has come out with a Reality Conditioning shampoo bar you have a choice of having it with a coloring Henna bar or just a very rich herbal Conditioning bar.  I chose the Reality Herbal
conditioning  shampoo bar and it was great.  they also have a leave in conditioner called Smile which I really love  It is a very rich moisturizing leave in conditioner that you put a tiny dot in the palm of your  hand rub it in your hands after you towel dry your hair depending on how long your hair is and massage it into your hair.
My hair came out soft shinny and full of volume from both products

www.daddyjaxsoap.com  Still my ultimate favorite soap company you have got to try this soap my skin is back to normal and looks new again.  I also like this company because they do have an option for shipping that is free of charge so the only cost is the cost of the soap which is 6.95 plus tax.  I do not know of any company that has this option.  The soap feels like you are bathing with a soap and a cream.  I also use this soap as a shampoo and conditioner.  It is so nice to have one product that takes care of all my needs

I will be doing some more reviews on some new products this week and will let you know about them

Thank you

NATURAL CLOTHES DETERGENT

08/25/2011

As you know in the past I have posted a lot about being very sensitive to soaps and shampoos..
This time I am writing about that I am also very sensitive to clothes detergents
I even tried the fragrance free store bought  detergents that are out there but in about twenty minutes after doing the laundry and putting a shirt on  I would have a reaction to it.
I would be scratching and have tiny red bumps all over my shoulders back and arms..
I finally had solved my problem with soaps and shampoos now I realized I had to do something better with getting a more natural clothes detergent
Using an eery day store bought fragrance free detergent was not working.
I was thinking now where can I find a natural detergent .
On my blog I saw that someone had posted a comment about my blog saying how much they liked it
I never saw the website before and decided to take a look at it
The website was  www.all-gluten-free.com
I was redirected to a website called No Gluten Natural Girl
They had sub  titles on the left hand side and pictures on the right hand side of   Make up soaps lipsticks shampoos detergents mouthwash  tooth paste and of course all gluten free.  It is nice to have a website that has everything right there to get all your personal items and cleaning items that are gluten free.
The sub titles on the left hand side say things like
Girls stuff
Guys stuff
House hold Stuff this is where the detergents and the house hold cleaners will be
I tried out their detergents and loved them
The clothes came out very soft of course these are all natural and fragrance free
Some how the clothes looked better they looked new again when they were not
The clothes looked brighter and I really could not believe how soft they were
The true test I put one of my shirts on and after about an hour I realized no reaction
The cost of it is $15.00 for a 2lb container and I know you say to yourself this is just to much money but it is really not because it is so concentrated that you use  far less then you would with the regular detergent that you are using and it really cleans much better and best of all no reactions from using the product which is half the battle
I am finally beginning to feel like a happy camper again no skin issues from soaps and shampoos, no issues from using a clothes detergent.
They do have everything there for you in one spot I have not tried all the products but it is nice to have everything there to figure out what you  need in one spot to get your personal items for when you have skin care issues with allergies
Remember this website and try them out to see for yourself how your skin will come back to what it should be
The website again is www.all-gluten-free.com
1 more thought I thought I would say to you about the detergent, I make my very own crocheted all  cotton natural dish cloths.
The dish cloth I was using was grungy and really dirty after doing all the dishes that I did.  I decided to see how it would do with getting out the stains on it
I was doing a lot of pots and pans so it was really quite dirty.
I put it in the laundry that i was doing and when it came out it was as white as it was after I first made it
You would have never known that I had just done all those pots and pans it looked new again

Thank you

CUSTOM CHOICE CEREALS

08/21/2011


I thought I  had posted a post about these marvelous cereals, but I just checked my records and I have not
These cereals are amazing and the concept for these cereals is amazing too.
It is perfect for kids and adults with Celiac disease or for people with allergies.
The website is www.customchoicecereals.com
When you go onto the website there is a three step process to form your very own cereal concoction that at the end you name which is great for when you have children with celiac disease  they get to name the cereal that they have made

First you have a choice of what type of base  you would like to have such as a couple different types of flakes or granola
Then you pick out what type of dried fruits you would like in the cereal and if you would prefer it to be organic
When you make your choice to have it organic or not there really is not much difference in price if you want it to be organic

Then you pick out what nuts or seeds you would like
There are many different choices to choose from for the fruits nuts and seeds and you  can put together any combination yu would like
At the end you get to name your very own blend of cereal and also on the package after you have made up your choices it has all the nutritional values that are in your cereal
I can not give you a cost for this since it is going to be what you come up  .
I love love this company everything is all natural and it is so nice to be able to form a blend that you would like to eat for a snack or for a meal
It is also nice to be in control on what you are eating instead of having it that the disease has the control I can  imagine  when you are a child and you get this disease suddenly all their control on what they want to eat is taken away saying sorry you can not eat that and seeing other kids eating it.  I know when I was little I became a type 1 Diabetic and I had to do a total change in what I was eating  and how to control my Diabetes.  It was very difficult my brothers and sisters were eating everything I used to eat and I could not I had no control with what I was eating.  The  children do have control they get to pick out what they would like and best of all if they are a Celiac and a type 1 Diabetic this is good for both conditions
I wish there was something like this for when I was little I think it would have made it a little bit easier on me and my paarents. 
This approach kind of makes you feel special since it is something that you or your child made up and there is so much to choose from you will never get tired of it
Since you are dealing with Flakes Granola Nuts Fruit Seeds you are getting a bountiful of fiber which is great for us Celiacs and for that matter type 1 Diabetics
The owner of this company is amazing that he thought up of this philosophy.
He is not a Celiac  but he had Celiac friends that had told him that there was not much out there that tasted good and that it was good for them
He came up with this idea and it is now  an online business to help out people with Celiac Disease
Once again the website is www.customchoicecereal.com

Thank you

GLUTEN FREE SANDWICH PETALS

08/20/2011

I rediscovered my favorite gluten free flat bread sandwich wrap
These are really fantastic and do not need refrigeration.  they can be stored up to a month but I know once you have tried these sandwich wraps they will not be sitting on the counter they will be gone in no time at all.
Your friends and family that do not have Celiac disease will be jealous of you  they are that good
I bet if you did an experiment and put these out for your friends or family they would be gone in a second but I would not recommend doing this because you will want them for your self
They are not just good tasting but they are good for you too.
They have 10 Ancient grains in each tortilla
They have prebiotics to aid in digestive health
They have heart healthy Omega 3's in each tortilla
They are also loaded with fiber with all this in them they taste magnificent .
They are also allergen free
They come in three different flavors
My ultimate favorite Spinach Garlic Pesto
                               Chimayo Red Chille
                               Agave Grain
These tortillas  are also very good if you are also a type 1 diabetic with all the fiber they have in them
They come in three packages for a total of 36 tortillas 12 in each package
The website is www.sandwichpetals.com, their email address is info@sandwichpetals.com
They do cost 25.00 but they are worth every   penny you will be glad you tried them
I am working in trying to get them in Pennsylvania stores they are based in Colorado

Thank you

EASY GLUTEN FREE PEANUT BUTTER /CHOCOLATE COOKIES

08/19/2011

I love these cookies I saw these cookies online but I changed them a little bit for what I like in a peanut butter cookie, to me you can not have just peanut butter without chocolate
This recipe is super easy and great for when someone comes over unexpectedly and you want something quick and good for a desert.
the recipe is as follows you can double this recipe if you know you are having more people over

1 cup gluten free peanut butter I use Skippy Peanut Butter

1 cup Sugar

1 egg

1 package plain Hershey's Chocolate Kisses

Mix together the peanut butter the egg and the sugar drop by 1 table spoon per cookie onto greased cookie sheet
Bake at 350 for 10 to 12 minutes take out cookies and place 1 Hershey Kiss on each cookie
It will melt into the cookie and it is delicious, it taste like a Reeses candy bar  yum

One of my friends suggested occasionally to put a recipe in so I decided to do  this one,  it is quick easy and really very good

Thank you
