Gentian Violet: the BEST Treatment For Thrush, Rashes, Athlete's Foot, Ringworm, and MORE!

June 6, 2016 7:38 PM

Product: Gentian Violet

I found a product that used to be used quite frequently but for some reason, people stopped using! I had a strange rash that would go away, but then keep coming back no matter what I did. I would clear it up with tea tree oil, but then it came back a few weeks later. I’d put TTO on it again and it would go away but it would keep coming back! I did not know what else to try. I tried fungal creams, antibiotics, various essential oils, calamine lotion, benadryl, everything. Finally a friend of a friend suggested I look for gentian violet! And OH MY GOODNESS... IT WORKED!

Review of Yardley of London's Soap: The Only Bar Soap I Use Anymore!

May 11, 2016 1:16 PM

Brand: Yardley's Product: Soap Bar

I have (mostly) stopped using bath products with sulfates in them. It took a little searching to find a good replacement, but I finally settled on Yardley of London soaps.

Natural and Organic Shampoo & Conditioner Review

May 11, 2016 1:15 PM

Brand: Nature's Gate Product: Herbal Shampoo & Conditioner

A few years ago, I stopped using “traditional” shampoo and conditioner. I started avoiding parabens and sulfates. Most shampoo and conditioner has sodium laureth sulfate in it. I was in Austin one day and went to Sprouts. I thought maybe I should look for shampoo there since they have a lot of natural products there. I found this brand of shampoo and conditioner called Natures Gate and it was on sale where if you bought the shampoo, you got the conditioner free! Well, I had never paid that much for shampoo or conditioner before (I was always an herbal essenses girl before that), but I thought I’d give it a try.

How to HEAL your skin NATURALLY: Review of Antifungal Soap with Tea Tree Oil

May 11, 2016 1:08 PM

Brand: ArtNaturals Product: Body & Foot Wash

Sigh. Despite my best efforts, I have chronic athletes foot. It goes away for awhile, but it always flares up occasionally. I have products that help take care of the flare ups (I like Gentian Violet, Clotrimazole, and straight Tea Tree Oil and/or Lavender essential oil, but I like this soap from ArtNaturals to help with every day prevention.

Review of Infantino's Soft, Textured Balls for Babies

May 10, 2016 3:14 PM

Brand: Infantino Product: Textured Multi Ball Set

This is another toy that falls into the simple, but well-loved category. I recently wrote a review for Infantino’s Soft Squeeze blocks HERE. I noted how often times, Cocoa Puff’s favorite toys are the simplist. This is another go-to Baby gift for showers, birthdays, and holidays!
