Lemon Essential Oil By Simply Earth

My Rating: «««««

This oil is made from the peel of the fruit and has a sweet lemony aroma. I cannot get enough of this essential oil it smells just like lemons!!! Not only does it smell good but it has great properties: anti-depressant, antiseptic, anti-fungal, antioxidant, antiviral, astringent, invigorating, refreshing, and tonic. It is so versatile making it a great oil to keep around the house. Here are some ways I have used it:

• Cuticle oil: 2 tbsp. olive oil, 1 tbsp. coconut oil, vitamin E oil, crushed up biotin, and 10-20 drops of lemon essential oil (I like the scent to be very strong). *shake bottle before using*
• Add 1 drop onto a toothbrush and swish around in water then rinse leaves it clean and sanitized 
• Diffuse: lemon cleans the air, improves your mood, and invigorates 
• All-purpose cleaner: Combine 5 oz. each of white vinegar and water, slowly add in 1 tsp of baking soda, and 20 drops of Lemon EO then pour into a spray bottle

I tend to mess with my nails when I am nervous so instead I grab the cuticle oil. I have noticed it calms me (applying some as I write this post!). When I was searching ways to use this oil I came across the one for cleaning my toothbrush and so glad I did because honestly I never cleaned my toothbrush besides running water through it (EEK!). Whenever I notice a room in the house smells musty I like to diffuse the lemon EO because it clears it right up making it smell fresh. The all-purpose cleaner is so great it does the job without having to use harsh chemicals.

I love that it comes with euro dropper cap making it easier to use just the right amount. I am trying to find a con but it is impossible with this product. Simply Earth's Lemon Essential oil is a steal because of the quality, quantity, and price!

A little bit about the company: 

Simply Earth not only has essential oils but also deodorizers (for shoes, feet, and sports gear), air and fabric fresheners, and mosquito repellent. Additionally, they donate 13% of profits to help end human trafficking. #simplyearth

Natural Finish Wood Hangers - J.S. Hanger

My Rating: «««««

 I was excited to get these in because I have only ever used wire and plastic hangers. J.S. hangers are made of real wood, from Gugertree, and have a chrome hook that turns 360 degrees. With slight curves and U-shaped grooves this hanger can hold many styles of clothes. 

Pros:
Made of real wood
Well made and sturdy - I can hang light or heavy clothes
Looks a lot better in closet than plastic/wire hangers
Natural finish and smooth
Many types of clothing styles will stay on the hanger
U-shaped grooves to keep straps / sleeves on
Has a round bar with a clear non-slip plastic to keep pants hanged

Cons:
Although it's smooth when I hang some clothes I could hear some snagging
U-shaped bar is not smooth at all
Not delicate cloth friendly so be careful

When I switched out my old plastic and wire hangers for J.S. hangers I was also able to get rid of some clothes! I was able to hang shirts, dresses, and pants. I love that my closet looks more uniformed with these beautiful hangers! At a price of $36 for a set of 20 hangers I would buy more because of the quality. Now I just need to get some more clothes and J.S. Hangers ;).

Aloe Vera Gel - Beauty By Earth

My Rating: «««¶¶

The Beauty By Earth company uses all natural ingredients and when it can organic ingredients too. This is one of the reasons I wanted to try their Aloe Vera Gel.

When I opened this Aloe Vera gel I could smell a unpleasant smell. Later when I emailed Beauty By Earth I was told it was the natural preservative system they use so that the aloe does not grow bacteria and that in the future they would change it or add essential oils. I have been applying this gel to my arms and legs. It helps refresh and moisturize my dry skin. Although the smell is unpleasant it does fade a little after the gel dries. Besides the smell the gel is sticky on my hands so I end up having to wash my hands. To extended shelf life  and for best results it says to refrigerate after opening. It also warns that this gel is for external use.

Aloe Vera Gel is a great product to have handy because of all the uses you can get out of it. Here are a few that I have used:

1. Moisturize Dry Skin - I tend to have dry skin and this aloe vera gel has helped smooth my skin
2. Healing Razor Burns - I always use some aloe to help heal superficial cuts that happen even if I do not know it 
3. Treat burns - for those few times I get burned when cooking

I do love that this product only has 6 ingredients. And it does have one organic ingredient: 95.7% organic Aloe Vera.

Ingredients:
Organic Aloe Barbadenis (Aloe Vera) Juice, Ascorbyl Glucoside (Vitamin C),
Xanthan Gum, Radish Root Ferment Filtrate,
Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Sodium Citrate

As of now I would not add this product to my shopping list but as soon as the company finds a way to improve the smell it will be added! If you would like to check out this company on amazon for some natural products click on the image below~
