Sweet Peanut Clothing Review

Both the American Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada give manufacturers of children’s apparel a choice:  Clothing may be treated with chemical flame retardants or be classified as 100% cotton and snug fitting. – For Sweet Peanut this choice was obvious!

Air ballons Sweet Peanut

Not only is their clothing 100% organic cotton GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certified.  It is never chemically treated and never will be. This is so reassuring to a mother like me. I try to reduce my children’s chemical exposure wherever I can. We eat as clean and organic as possible. I use organic bath products. We cloth diaper. All these are such great ways to reduce chemicals, but often people don’t even think about the amount of chemicals that could be in their children’s clothing. When you cloth your child in Sweet Peanut clothing, you can reset assured that they are 100% chemical free.

During their dying process they also use methods that are safe and non hazardous, while still keeping vibrate and bright colors as options in their clothing line. Sweet Peanut cares about your baby, the gift of health and reducing their global footprint. Because of these factors I have added them as a Simple Green Living company!

Air ballon full Sweet Peanut

Sweet Peanut makes the perfect variety of clothing options. Short sleeves, long sleeves, onesies, gowns, suits and pants. All the basics and more! Here are some of the lines they carry:

Each piece is perfectly made. My daughter and son love their Sweet Peanut Clothing. They are comfortable, easy to wear, wash wonderfully and look adorable on children. This company is an all around win.

Mama’s Experience

I feel in love with Gorilly Goods at first bite. Seriously. I called a friend like that instant they were so good. I like nuts. I mean they are good tasting and good for you, but totally not my go to snack. I need something “more” when I want a snack. There are that “more”! Gorilly Goods is packed with protein, which is what you want in a snack. Protein will give you that filling feeling you need. Otherwise you will keep snacking and the calories will keep adding up. Choosing a high protein snack like Gorilly Goods is going to help curb your appetite and help the health conscious like myself with my weight loss goals.

I have tried each of the 3 amazing snacks Gorilly Goods has created. Each has some awesome aspects to them

original Jungle (AKA Original)

This snack is their basic snack pack. Its a combination of organic bananas, organic cashew, organic pecans, organics coconut, organic walnuts, organic raisins, organics coconut nectar and sea salt.

That is it. Just good, plain old organic ingredients. This is what makes Gorilly Goods stand out. It’s not just nuts. It’s a cluster of nuts held together with nectar, amazing, healthy, nectar, and awesome bananas.

What I loved about this is how you can taste the light salt of the nut and the sweetness of the raisins and nectar. It was not sweet and it was not savory but it was satisfying and addicting!

Forest (AKA Chocolate)chocolate

This is the snack for us sweet toothed snackers. I love chocolate. Like I love it A LOT! I cannot give it up. I need to have a little bit of sweetness daily or every other day. If I don’t give myself a little fun I will ruin my hard work and eat a full blow chocolate cake! LOL! This is my perfect go to snack. I need to get that satisfied full feeling but I want my chocolate. The harmony between the two in this is mind blowing. My husband likes sweets like an average person does (not crazy-like like myself) and he really likes this treat. When he wants a special snack, this is what he reaches for.

This treat is made with organic bananas, organic chocolate, organic cashew, organic pecans, organics coconut, organic walnuts, organic raisins, organics coconut nectar and sea salt.

Sound familiar? It is just like the Jungle (original) mentioned above just this one is dipped in heavenly organic chocolate. Yuuuuum!

savoryHillside (Savory)

This is the snack that you want when you are not seeing that sweet tooth but need that fun, crunchy filling snack. I love how natural this snack tastes. I know its good for me, but it tastes like it is a full meal. It has such bursts of full flavors that you keep coming back for another bite. I love this for hikes, days out in nature and after a hard workout.

The Hillside is made with organic pumpkin seeds, organic kale, organics tamari, organic onion, organic nutritional yeast, organic cayenne *contains soy.

If you love kale chips or kale salad, you are going to love this snack.

French Broad Chocolates Review

French Broad Chocolates Review

About French Broad Chocolates

French Broad Chocolates is not your average chocolatier. It all started when a young couple fell in love. So naturally, as all young couples in love, they took a fun and exciting trip to Costa Rica. After experiencing life in Costa Rica, they both dropped out of graduate school, bought a 40-foot vegetable oil power bus and hit the town running. Living in the area they did, they were exposed to cocoa beans as well as a town that truly understood the bean. The young lovers studied chocolate for over a year and opened a chocolate shop. They soon knew that they were meant to be chocolate people. And we are sincerely grateful that they discovered their calling!

Their first shop was Bread and Chocolate located in Costa Rice (has been since sold) this is where they bought one of their first chocolate tempering machines, this is the machine that mixes and heats the raw chocolate which helps makes their chocolate some of the best I’ve ever tasted, they are now back in the United States and own French Broad Chocolates Lounge in Asherville, North Carolina. When in Costa Rica they helped restored an abandoned cacao farm, as well as helped a friend build a fermentary. By helping their local friends, they now have the connections to directly buy small batches for always fresh and perfectly grown beans. This allows French Broad Chocolates to be miles ahead of any other chocolatiers as far as quality and freshness goes.

French Broad Chocolates are one of a handful of chocolatiers in the world to be bean-to-bar-to-truffle.

My Simple Green Living series is focused on all types of business and products that are in someway ‘green’. French Broad Chocolates supports local businesses by buying their honey from local sources. They strive to buy all their ingredients (like the fruit found in some chocolates) from organic suppliers to ensure the highest quality product to their customers. They even compost things like their egg shells and certain packaging. The most impactful (in my personal opinion) is their support of fair trade. “To ensure that this hard work is valued fairly, we can rely on direct contact, conscientious middlemen, association with like-minded chocolatiers, and fair trade certification.”French Broad Chocolates Website

French Broad Chocolate Review

I was able to review 3 amazing products by French Broad Chocolates: a box of truffles (Holiday Collection), Chocolate Sip and Hazelnut Dragée. Each was far more decadent than I would have expected. After researching the company I knew that this chocolate was not going to be any old chocolate. I knew I was going to be able to taste the difference when indulging in a French Broad treat.

Truffles

As the seasons change and the different holidays come and go, French Broad Chocolates keeps things fresh and current. By ensuring you always get the most fresh batch possible they have limited qualities of special edition treats (like the one I was able to review) and others that are (while still fresh) available year-round.

Currently they have 4 stunning collections of truffles to choose from:

My box was the 2015 Holiday Collection. This box featured the following truffles: gingerbread, peppermint, eggnog, champagne, fruitcake and pecan pie caramel.

truffle combo

These are not the type of treat you keep popping into your mouth one after the next, as you mindlessly watch a Chopped marathon. These are the real deal when it comes to top self truffles. Relax. Slowly take a bite. Let is fully melt in your mouth. This allows the palette to fully take in the depth of flavors as well as the silky smooth texture. By slowly enjoying these fine chocolates you will have so much respect for the love that was put into every cocoa bean.

Hazelnut Dragée

French Broad Chocolates makes 2 types of dragée: almond and hazelnut. I was able to review the hazelnut.

When it comes to sweet and salty snacks, French Broad hit the mark! These are one of the coolest chocolate treats I have ever tried. Its a simple yet stunning creation. A whole hazelnut was lightly dipped in chocolate and then dusted with the same soft chocolate flakes. This gives you 2 chocolate flavors to take in as well as the salty, crunchy nut at the center. These are great for that moment you are craving that tiny bit of sweetness but not wanting to ruin your waist line. You can have a little something without the guilt of slamming half of a chocolate bar. I highly recommend grabbing a bag to help you stay in check if you crave chocolate but watching your figure.

Hazelnut dragee

Chocolate Sip

This is not a hot chocolate. This is a chocolate sip! French Broad Chocolates make their Chocolate Sip with house-ground chocolate, and suggest that we steam it with just enough water to be sippable. I boiled 1/4 cup of water and poured it over 3 tablespoons of this house-ground chocolate. I quickly whisked it to make a deeply flavorful sipping chocolate treat. You can also make it with milk, for a thicker treat or heavy cream for a full on party in your mouth.

Be sure to drink it sooner than later if you only make it with 1/4 cup of liquid. this is because it will go cold faster due to the small amount of liquid in the cup.

sipping raw

(PS – the sipping chocolate bites are good enough to eat raw! )

Being a fellow Christian, owner and founder Cassandra knew that her business was more than a source of income, instead it is her ministry. “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord” – Col 3:23 She strives to have the most humble brand a parent can choose to buy from. “Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.” – James 4:10 With many online retailers selling baby products, I really feel that From The Earth Baby stands out. Their ethics, honesty, loving kindness and sincerity take them to a level of respect I can really support.

Mama’s Experience

From the moment I was in contact with From The Earth Baby I knew there was something special about them. Kindness, easy-to-talk-to, fun, joyful…these are some of the thoughts that come to mind when thinking about my experience with From The Earth Baby. Online retailers have become a dime a dozen. They are everywhere. What makes From The Earth Baby so different and why they stand out are: their ethics, their choice of selection (organic and eco-friendly companies) and their global mission. Being a Christian myself, I love supporting another Christian companies.  Knowing that they donate on a monthly bases makes me know that not only am I helping another Christian business, but a Christian family in the mission field as well. “In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’” Acts 20:35

When browsing their full selection of products I was instantly impressed with the huge selection of beautiful products. I did not see one product that I would not consider buying. Oftentimes I have wanted to look for an eco-friendly product but not known where to look. I am so excited that I now have a go-to place to search for products. Being a blogger, I am the person who always gets asked the kind of questions like “What is the best organic this” or “where can I buy an eco-friendly that”. I can now confidently send my friends, family and readers to the one place I want to support: FromTheEarthBaby.com

Among the plethora of awesome products that From The Earth Baby carries, one of them is the LILLEbaby Airflow Baby Carrier.

LILLEbaby Airflow Complete Carrier

lillebaby 1

LILLEbaby makes several versions of the soft-structured carriers. The one I will be discussing here is their new, Airflow Complete.

What makes this carrier special is the breathable 3D material, which allows for airflow between baby and the carrier. In the hot summers and during extended wearing periods, you and your baby can get stuffy. By using a carrier like the Airflow Complete you give yourself the ability to feel the gentle breeze flow between the mesh-like material, cooling you down. This allows for maximum airflow and increased comfort.

I love to front wear my children up to age 1.5. Then, at 1.5 years of age, I like to wear them on my back. While both children and I still do front carries for those extra cuddly days, I like to be able to use my arms and have a more broad range of motion, therefore the back carry is best for us. This carrier allows for an easy to wear back carry. I use the ‘superman toss’ to get my child on my back.

More about LILLEbaby’s Airflow Carrier:

1. SIX ERGONOMIC CARRYING POSITIONS – Includes every carrying position without the need for an infant insert: Front-fetal, Front-infant, Front-outward, Front-toddler, Hip and Back carry. The COMPLETE grows with your child through all the baby wearing years from 7lbs to 45 lbs. The patented cupped seat adjusts to keep baby ergonomically seated in all six carry positions through every development stage.

2. LUMBAR SUPPORT – Increases comfort, maintains healthy posture and alignment, and prevents lower back strain. Combined with an extra sturdy waist belt to maximize parent’s comfort.

3. TWO WAY-STRAPS NEW! – Enables wearer to carry “backpack style” or with straps crossed on the back. Dual adjustment buckles simplify breastfeeding and adjusting straps on the go.

Who is BANJOrganics?

BANJOrganic’s is founded by Nicole, who is above all else, a mother. As a mother, Nicole wanted what was best for her children, just as myself and many others. She made sure to keep her son and home clean. She fed him and cared for him with all the love a mother can muster. Over time her son got more and more sick. After visits to more doctors than you can shake a stick at, Nicole decided to take matters into her own hands. Something was causing her child to be sick and she needed to find out. She slowly made the switch to an organic and chemical free lifestyle. The switch doesn’t happen overnight. It was a process. Slowly, as her family and her house became more and more natural, her son became better and better. Now, he is medication free!

Having a background in engineering Nicole took to her kitchen and began making her own products so that her son would stay healthy. Making her own shampoo, lip balm, hand soap, just about anything you would need.

“I want to help people provide a chemical free life for themselves and their family, as well as show people that it doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg to live an organic lifestyle.” – Nicole with BANJOrganics

BANJOrganics is able to custom make products for customers. If your skin is irritated by, let’s say, vanilla. You can contact them and they will make a special batch just for you! This service is so above and beyond. I am so glad that a company like this exists. To read more about this please click here.

Mama’s Experience

BANJO set

I first found out about BANJOrganics at Mommy Con in Columbus, Ohio. I was able to meet Nicole and talk to her about her product line. I was so interested in her ability to create household products. When chatting she mentioned that her husband would say something about needing more itch relief cream next time they went to the store, but instead she would think out how to make her own. That way it would be without all the nasty chemicals and other no-no’s. That is ingenuity at it’s finest.

 

itchAnti Itch Paste

This anti itch paste is just what you need this fall. With fun fall campfires and pumpkin patches comes mosquitoes and aggressive bee’s. This paste has a clay base and is very easily applied and smoothed over your skin and the effected area. It felt slightly sticky, doe to the clay, when applying. Then after a few minutes I forgot about it.

 

 

 

 

mag

Magnesium Lotion

Most women are deficient in magnesium. Often, then taken in pill form, your body is not able to fully absorb all the nutrients from the pill and you urinate the remains. When you apply magnesium topically (like a lotion) your skin can slowly absorb all the goodness from the vitamin and get into your bloodstream more efficiently. Magnesium lotion is not a perfumed lotion that you would put on to smell nice instead of a perfume! It has a very potent small. This is because this lotion is REAL! It has true magnesium flakes as one of the primary ingredients. It is not something I was used to, so I just put it on when I knew I was going to be busy and not just sitting around smelling it.

If you are a women who suffers from morning sickness when pregnant, you may find relief by increasing your magnesium. This lotion is the perfect way!

shower pods

Shower Disks

These shower disks are to be placed on the floor of the shower. They are a one time usage and perfect for quick or long showers. I try to only use them when I know I am going to really relax and have someone home to watch the kids. I don’t often get alone time, and showering is actually a precious thing in my life now. These pods give me an indulgence in my fun 7 minute vacation from life. They easily and evenly dissolve and they have never harmed my tub because they are so natural!

I was once able to indulge in a an eucalyptus sauna in Las Vegas. Man, that was amazing. This was like a fun home style version of that! The eucalyptus helps open your pours and sinus cavities. I highly suggest this to, like everyone.

This is a brand new product!

bath teasBath Teas

The bath teas are just that, a small bag stuffed with items you would find in a bag of tea, plus a few other treats. The BANJOrganics bags have lavender, chamomile, oats and lavender essential oil. The directions are to tie the bag to your bath spout so that as your water fills, the bag is being soaked with fresh water. My spout is being occupied by a blue whale cover to protect myself and my children from unnecessary bath time injuries (they find enough other ways to collect band-aids, right?!), so kept it in the water float by holding it there. After my bath was filling up I noticed that the water was starting to turn the color of a lovely cup of tea! I was so giddy by this and felt like it was such a treat. Every so often I would pick up the bag and squeeze it to allow more “goodness” to spill out of the bag. This is the perfect gift for the hard to shop for friend or relative. Fun, useful and affordable.

 

fash wash

Face Wash

When I opened the container saw that the contents of the face wash was straight liquid I instantly thought, “well this isn’t going to work.” I have been breaking out due to stress and my crazy schedule. Zits have formed colonies on my face and are currently in a civil war. I was hesitant to try this wash, but that is my job! I use a Clarisonic scrubber so I poured a small amount (about a dime size) onto my brush. I was surprised I felt a little something. I added a little more half way through my washing because like I said, I wasn’t so sure. I felt clean. I didn’t feel slimy like there was residue from makeup/sweat/cleaner was still on my face. Hmm….Then I took a small amount and put it in my hand and applied to directly to my skin. I could feel the wash this time a lot more. It doesn’t lather, which a truly organic face wash should not (due to the lack of the bad stuff – which is good). It could feel the wash spread evenly across my face but not in an oily or heavy way. I have been washing with this face wash for over a week now and my civil war zit zone is coming to a halt! I am so excited that this stuff actually works! woot woot!

moisturizer

Moisturizer

Like the above mentioned face wash, this moisturizer is also a liquid and I didn’t believe it. I have to apply lotion after I shave my legs. Its just how I am. I applied a small amount, like a nickle worth, to each leg. I was surprised that it spread as much as it did. I figured that because it is so water-like that I would have to reapply in a half an hour after it fully soaked in and I was itchy….30 minutes…60 minutes…then I lost track of time. I never got itchy! It’s cold as bones out in Ohio and getting pretty dry and I only had to apply a super small amount to my just shaved legs. This stuff rocks.

 

 

 

waterless hand soap

Waterless Hand Soap

With fall here and flu season approaching I am so not ready for that whirlwind. My 3 year old just started preschool and I am just waiting for the stampede of germs, colds and who-knows-what to come walking through my door along with her. I love being able to not clean my families hands on the go. I cant always lug both my kids into a tiny restroom to wash their hands what out and about. Plus, once they are clean and I am washing the other ones hands, they already touch the floor, wall and probably somehow scaled the wall to touch the ceiling too! This product comes in full size and travel (Roadies) size so you can grab a few and always have them accessible.

 

 

headaceh rollon

 

Headache Rollaway

This product is very different. As I mentioned above, the lack of magnesium in your body can cause a whole bunch of oddities. This rollaway is made up of magnesium and a blend of essential oils so that no matter if the headache is due to stress, barometric pressure, loud children or what have you, there is going to be something in the ingredients that will help you out. The reviews (updated for 2020) of CBD oil products also show them to have been effective in clearing the headaches or nausea of the people who tried them out and found them to have provided them with a positive experience.

ava 400

Ava Anderson is the premier provider for non-toxic & safe personal and home products. Founder Ava Anderson, at the spry age of 14, noticed that the market is flooded with “organic”, “natural”, “safe” and “pure”, yet there were almost always toxic ingredients included as well. Ava had become truly disturbed at how consumers were unaware of the risks of common brands and how those who thought they were making safe choices often did not know what was really in the products they were purchasing. After months of research, Ava realized that she needed to create her own products. Through a family friend, she located a manufacturer with research facilities that could develop and produce products to her standards. It was a great challenge to develop these revolutionary formulas, but with her vision and persistence she succeeded.”Ava’s Story

My order included a fun little extra fact sheet that I just love. It tells you how to store, apply and use the product. They even include a quote from the Centers For Disease Control, “Sunscreen is not meant to allow children to spend more time in the sun than they would otherwise. Combine sunscreen with other options to prevent UV damage. Sunscreen reduces damage from UV radiation, it doesn’t eliminate it.” 

The sun screens do not contain extra perfumes, so the smell is really refreshing as the natural scent of the product. I know that I won’t get a headache when re-applying it on my children all day. It goes on smooth and wants to absorb into your skin, it doesn’t just move around on the top layer of skin like some other brands of lotion do.

So please do yourself a favor and tryout a few of Ava Anderson’s products. You will not regret it.
