Seventh Generation Natural Laundry Detergent - Free & Clear

A couple of us in our house have a sensitivity to dyes and fragrances. I myself have eczema that likes to act up from time to time, I honestly have yet to figure out what triggers an outbreak. So we tend to stick to soaps and detergents that are dye and fragrance free. So when I was able to try Seventh Generation’s Natural Free & Clear laundry detergent (thanks to Seven Generation & Generation Good) I was eager to give it a go. I received 3 samples of Seventh Generation Natural Laundry Detergent - Free & Clear. Two to try at home and one to give to a friend to try.

I was delighted by the results after the first wash. It works amazingly well, it does a decent job with stains (although we haven't had any big set-in stains yet), and I haven’t had any trouble with colors fading. All my laundry is left smelling fresh and clean. I love that I don't have to worry about if I used the wrong detergent, or if someone accidentally threw their wash in with someone else's. Everyone can use this without it irritating our skin.

I also think it is fantastic that Seventh Generation Natural Liquid Laundry Detergent is plant based, kosher, cruelty-free, and gluten-free. As well as hypoallergenic, free of dyes & synthetic fragrances, and made for sensitive skin.

Overall I'm extremely happy with this product and will continue to use it.

Silk Protein Nutmilk

With the goodness of almonds and creaminess of cashews Silk Protein Nutmilk is delicious over cereal, in smoothies, as part of a favorite recipe or served straight up in a glass. And it packs 10 grams of protein per serving from 100% peas.

 

I recently got to try Silk Milk from CrowdTap for the first time and it wasn't as bad as I was expecting. I received a free coupon for Silk's new Protein Nutmilk for free and a cute little Silk truck magnet. There are two kinds of the Silk Protein Nutmilk to chose from, Vanilla (which is what I tried) and 2g Sugar.

Silk Truck magnet

I'm surprised by how delicious it is. It has wonderful vanilla taste with just a hint of nuts, it is quite yummy. It's a great alternative to milk and even half & half. I used it in my coffee and it just added a lovely nutty aftertaste. I also used it instead of milk in some of my homemade recipes and again it just adds something fantastic to the taste. I'm extremely impressed with the taste.

However I wasn't a fan of the texture, it just feels wrong on my tongue. That is the only way I can honestly describe it. The taste is wonderful, it just the feeling is off. Although I only notice this when I was drinking it by itself from a glass. Nonetheless if it's in a recipe or with something else I had no problem it. I really loved the added taste it gives. I definitely recommend this Silk and will continue to use it. This post was sponsored by Silk® as part of a sampling activation for Crowdtap.

We played a bingo game which gave us the opportunity to discuss how to improve indoor air quality, manage pests in your garden, and which produce to buy organic.

I was able to provide my guests with goodie bags filled with great information regarding the #comeclean initiative, and petitioning companies to inform consumers about what ingredients they use in their products. Along with samples from Plum Organics, Seventh Generation, American Meadows, and Zarbee to start making there homes.

Jingle VoxBox

Shortly before Christmas Influenster sent me their awesome Jingle VoxBox. My box had a combination of products from food to beauty. I'm so excited to share with you what I received.

In my Jingle VoxBox was a coupon for a free bag of Ore-Ida tater tots, Biscoff cookies, a Hallmark Itty Bitty, a little sample tub of Cetaphil Moisturizing cream, a bottle of Pure Ice nail polish, NYC New York Color 24HR Waterproof eyeliner, a pair of Kiss True Volume Lashes and Strip Lash Adhesive.

Ore-Ida: I was given a coupon for a free bag of any Ore-Ida tater tot product. And of course I ran out and got a bag as fast as I could! I love tater tots especially Ore-Ida's mini tater tots. They are so yummy! I'll normally have some for lunch with a bit of melted cheese on top! Yummy Yummy!

Biscoff: I received 3 packs with 2 cookies in each pack. Their tag line "Europe's Favorite cookie with coffee." is quite right I do like them with coffee but I actually like them better on their own. They are nice and sweet but not overly so. They have a good texture and taste so good. I'm eating some right now. I think I found my new favorite cookie. And they remind me of cookies I use to eat when I was young and they bring back all those memories! 

Hallmark Itty Bittys: Oh my goodness these are so cute and so soft. They are awesome. I got Olaf but they have tons of others. They have Disney, Star Wars, Marvel, DC, Rainbow Brite, Barbie, and Scooby just to name a few. I see myself have a huge collection in the near future. There are so many I want.

Cetaphil Moisturizing cream: This cream is thick but not heavy. It absorbed very quickly and left no weird lotion feeling like some creams leave. I was genuinely happy with this cream. I have really bad eczema on a couple of my fingers and this cream did an amazing job of moisturizing them. They stopped hurting and never cracked like the normally do. It even made my 13 year old tattoo look awesome.

Pure Ice Nail polish: My polish was in the color Shore Bet, which is a nice beige color. I was happy with this color. Lately I have been into neutral colors and this is a great one.It goes on nice and smoothly. And it lasted longer than I thought it would. I had it on for just over a week before it started to chip.

NYC New York Color 24HR Waterproof eyeliner: The eyeliner I received came in black. I have to say I've had this eyeliner for about month now and use it almost daily. It goes on smoothly and evenly. It last all day long and doesn't smudge. 

Kiss True Volume Lashes & Strip Lash Adhesive: Last but not least I received a pair of Kiss lashes and clear adhesive. Now I have never used fake lashes before but I was excited to try them out. I have wanted to try lashes for a long time but never got around to getting any.  I was a little nervous when it came to putting these on and truth be told I had a difficult time trying to get these on. It took me awhile to get these on and I was never sincerely happy with them once they were on.  But they were definitely soft to the touch and felt real and looked as real as they could thanks to their tapered ends. Even though I haven't mastered these (yet) I had fun with them and plan on trying to use them again.

Overall I loved my Jingle VoxBox. It had amazing products to try and I had a blast trying them!
