Babyganics Mineral Sunscreen for Natural Protection

1069374_10152212575275865_1314609644_n Since my kids are not is school, they are spending most of their time outside. That means they are spending too much time in the sun! I choose to cover them with natural sunscreens, so I love trying out different brands. I have some that I consider my favorites, but I am always open to trying new ones. I prefer natural sunscreens because they cover and protect my kids, and no chemicals are absorbed into their skin.

Babyganics has designed mineral-based SPF formulas that provide broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection. They are non-allergenic and tear free, so no fear if a little gets in your little one’s eyes. There are no PABA, phthalates, parabens, fragrances or nano-particles.

Made with 100% natural NeoNourish Seed Oil Blend, the lotion helps nurture and nourish your little one’s skin. The lotions are all broad spectrum SPF 30 or SPF50+ and offer both UVA and UVB protection. The lotions are water resistant for up to 80 minutes.

Rockee Kids Toothbrush ~ It Rocks, Wobbles, and Spins!

Product was given to me in order to post my honest opinion.

Our apartment has one bathroom with one pedestal sink. Coming from a home with more than one bathroom, we have had to downsize what we have out on the counter. I am not a big fan of toothbrush holders, they get moldy and gross, especially in our not-so-ventilated bathroom! I have found a solution to our problem. The Rockee Toothbrush by VioLight is capable of standing up on its own. They wobble and spin, but won’t fall over!

Since the toothbrush won’t fall over they can stand on the sink and will dry quickly. Even better, the heads are replaceable so your Rockee Toothbrush can last longer than a typical toothbrush. Each Rockee brush comes with two extra brush heads. You can choose either a bright handle or blue dog or pink cat.

Get Professional Mosquito Control for Your Home

This is a sponsored post.

The mosquito transmits disease to over two million people every year and hospitalized 21,000 of the 26,000 workers building the Panama Canal in 1906. It carries dengue fever, yellow fever, malaria and a new strain of disease called Chikungunya that causes severe joint pain and high fever. Professional mosquito control can place mosquito danger in check when done properly.

With the exception of Antarctica, mosquitoes live on every part of Earth; they are known to have existed over 79 million years ago. Their reproductive cycle has generally remained the same, with the female mosquito planting her eggs in stagnant water or on aquatic plants. The stagnant water does not have to be a lake; it can be water in an old tire, a watering pitcher for plants or even a small plate. Mosquitoes do not need much water to breed.

6 Uses for Tea Tree Oil

I have been using essential oils for a year and a half now and I love all the benefits that go along with using them. One of the most commonly used oils is Tea Tree Oil. This versatile oil naturally fight acne, toenail fungus, lice, yeast infections, skin tags, cold sores, dandruff, ringworm, fleas, warts, psoriasis, and more.

Not only does it help with all these problems, you can use it to make your own shampoo, lotion, soap, face cleaner, body wash, and toothpaste.   Better yet, you can use it to make all your natural household cleaners, detergents, shower sprays, bathroom disinfectants, and kitchen sprays.   Amazing right?!?!?!

Get Some Help Organizing Your Garage

This is a sponsored post.

Get Extra Space in Your Garage with Overhead Racks

Even if you live in the house of your dreams, you might still find that you don’t have as much storage as you need. Many home buyers look at the closets, cabinets and other storage areas to determine if a home meets their needs, but they only think about the belongings they have now and not the things they’ll buy in the future. By the time you purchase holiday decorations, outdoor supplies for your kids and some patio furniture that you need to put away for winter, you might not have enough room in a two car garage for even a single car. Adding storage to your garage is as easy as installing an overhead rack.
