I was NOT compensated for this review. I received the products mentioned below FREE to review. All thoughts/opinions are my own.

When it comes to body and hair care products out on the market nowadays, a lot of them have harsh chemicals that aren't only bad for you, they could be bad for babies and children! It is a scary thing to think about, isn't it?

Original Sprout offers many different products ranging from body wash (for kids and adults alike), shampoo, and too many others to name that don't have all of those harmful chemicals. They even have a a Curl Calmer for those out-of control, poofy curls.

Cradle Cap can make any parent worry. The entire Original Sprout line of shampoos, conditioners, styling products and lotions was designed with sensitive skin in mind. They even offer a Cradle Cap Comb for that sensitive area.

The good thing about Original Sprout is that their products are really worry free! Not only are they eco-friendly, they are honey free, and free from other harmful ingredients such as formaldehyde, Propylene Glycol, and completely natural.Also, it is 100% Vegan. It is safer for you and your family.

Need more convincing Original Sprout is the way to go? Some celebrities like the McDermott/Spelling family and Brooke Shields use Original Sprout!

Right now, they currently have an Original Sprout Holiday Gift Set that is perfect for the person on your gift list.

WHAT I THOUGHT

I've been looking for an eco-friendly AND sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner that won't leave my locks feeling frizzy or dried out. But I hate the chemicals in traditional haircare because my hair is so sensitive. So when I found out I would be trying Original Sprout, I knew I wanted to try their new line of Tahitian Family Collection! I had the chance to try the Island Bliss Shampoo, Luscious Island Conditioner, and Original Sprout's Miracle Detanger.

Island Bliss Shampoo- It was a little on the thin side, which I guess accounted for it's lack of a rich lather. U will say that it did smell good and got my hair super clean. Plus it was a breeze to wash out- no left over residue!

Luscious Island Conditioner- It was thicker than the shampoo, and went on smoothly. It wasn't heavy on my hair at all. It rinsed off just as easily. Here is what I absolutely love about it- it left my hair feeling light! Most other conditioners made my hair feel heavy, even after rinsing. Loved the feeling!

Miracle Detangler- Call me dopey if you want, but for 5 minutes, I couldn't figure out how to get the damn thing to spray. I thought I had broken it. Nope- there is actually a trigger on-off toggle for it! Press left to keep you from spraying it or turn it right to allow you to continue spraying. Great idea if you have kids. But since I have tangles after every shower, I wanted a detangler that wasn't filled with chemicals but got the job done. It worked wonderfully, even detangling the worst of my tangles. It wasn't greasy, and I even noticed some shine to my just-dried hair. 

It is days later and my hair still feels great! No yucky residue and my hair is still light and airy. Yep- Original Sprout is true to their word!

Hear the Eco Review

As I’ve said in a previous post, I’ve been on a Spring cleaning kick. Tables, windows, and even the walls are getting a nice scrub down. But I wanted something that was not only eco-friendly, but pet and person friendly as well. 

Thanks to Hear the Eco, I can now clean with green! Hear the Eco has products that help you think and live green! They actually hand-pick all of their products to make sure that they are all natural and eco-friendly so that they are safe for your family!

If you are looking to clean your bathroom this Spring, why not get their Biokleen Bac Out Bathroom Cleanser Spray? Not only does it clean and deodorize, it also removes mold and mildew stains without those harsh chemicals that can make sensitive people very sick! Cleaning the toilet bowl is not only a nasty job, but some of those cleaners are extremely potent while stinking up the house. Mrs. Meyers Clean Day Toilet Bowl Cleaner actually cleans your toilet bowl while leaving a mild lavender scent!

Spring is also the time for gardening! I’m not much of a gardener, but I know that non-green fertilizer can not only be expensive, some of the chemicals can even harm your flowers and plants. Hear the Eco offers several choices for fertilizer, such as Neptune's Harvest Organic Kelp Meal Multi-Purpose Fertilizer, which contains minerals, carbohydrates and amino acids. 

If you’re looking to get those linens clean without those chemicals that can make someone itchy or even allergic, feel free to try the Biokleen Free & Clear Laundry Powder! It is fragrance free and it does not contain phosphate, chlorine, ammonia, petroleum solvents, alcohol, butyl, glycol ether, or dyes/brighteners. So it is perfectly safe for those sheets, shirts, and even socks!

Hear the Eco also offers products such as all natural craft supplies, glass cleaners, organic reusable items, and 100% recycled plastic food prep/storage items! So if you’re looking for something safe for you, your family, and fur babies, why not give Hear the Eco a look?

WHAT I THOUGHT

I hate to admit that I have been a little lazy as far as major cleaning goes. Dust had been collecting on the top of my shelves, TV, and even my AC (which is a window unit). As an allergy sufferer, that is a big no-no! I even noticed that my windows and walls could use a new cleaning, so I was kind of avoiding that as well.

When I found out that I was going to be reviewing Better Life what-EVER All-Purpose Cleaner, I practically jumped for joy!  I would finally be able to get things cleaned without wheezing from whatever cleaner I would have picked up from the store. First off, it comes in a nice big 32oz spray bottle. It sprays in a nice even layer. It doesn’t shoot out all over the place, getting things wet that wasn’t meant to be cleaned. It didn’t smell bad at all, and it contains ZERO alcohol and none of those chemicals that make your skin all rashy.

Now onto how it performed. Somehow, some candle wax ended up on my nightstand but water couldn’t get it off. The cleaner got it off within a few scrubs! It didn’t rub off any veneer or leave any marks. It took off any schmootz that was on my walls without peeling the paint. Now my walls are a somewhat sparkly white! It also took off any tape residue that had somewhat appeared on my walls. 

As soon as I was done cleaning, Smokie (my 9-year-old Tortoiseshell cat) stopped by to check out the nightstand and even sniffed it. Since she didn’t do the kitty “stinky face”, I knew I had hit the jackpot with this cleaner!

Now, I just need to figure out what else needs cleaning!
