A few weeks ago, I was sent a bottle of Babo Botanicals Swim & Sport Replenishing Bubble Bath & Wash. All products from Babo Botanicals are made in small batches on an organic farm, and contain Nutri-Soothe™, a combination of chamomile, calendula, kudzu and watercress, rich in vitamin A, C and D to deliver maximum nutrients, protection and moisturization. Swim & Sport is designed to help soothe your child’s skin after being out in the sun or swimming. The bottle I received was 13.5 ounces. The wash itself is a pale greenish/brown liquid. The first time we used it, my daughter loved the smell. I poured a small amount on wet scrub sponge. It made a rich lather, and left her skin very soft. It’s not only just for great for your kids. I’ve been using it the last week or so after getting my horrendous sunburn. It was the only thing I found that really helped cool it off and kept it from hurting. Overall, I really like the body wash. It’s great for sunburns, and I’m ...

Product Review – Gutsy Chewy
A few weeks ago, I was sent several tubes of Gutsy Chewy. Gusty Chewy is a large chewable tablet that you take to treat an upset stomach. It contains papaya, apple cider vinegar, licorice root, Xylitol, and minerals like calcium and magnesium. It’s available in two flavors: citrus and wildberry. I was sent both flavors to try out. Each tube has eight tablets…and they are huge! One tablet is about the size of a quarter, and has the thickness of for quarters stacked. To use, take one to two tables when your stomach starts bothering you. Chew them for as long as possible and then swallow. Don't take more than two in a 24 hours period. The first time I took one, I just about gagged. They aren’t the best tasting things, and even after using them several times, I’m still not used to the taste. They are very chalky. It reminds me of the white stuff they make you drink at the hospital if you are having stomach issues…only with a hint of fruit taste in the back. However, they are pretty ...

Article – Tips on Getting a Good Night’s Sleep
In order to have a good, productive day, you need a good night’s sleep. Being rested became all the more important for me since having a child…especially now that my daughter is four and a little bundle of never-ending energy. I have suffered from insomnia for years, and it got worse right after my daughter was born. My doctor gave me sleeping pills, but they only helped so much. The hardest part for me is being able to relax long enough for the pills to kick in. I spent hours tossing and turning trying to get comfortable. This not only kept me up, but my husband as well. Eventually, I decided to change up the bed a bit to make it more comfortable for me. The first thing I did was get a pillow. At the time, the pillow I was using wasn’t all that good. It was an inexpensive one from the store. I had gotten a set of down pillows for Christmas the year before, but hadn’t used them yet. I tried one out on the couch one day while watching television and liked it. I bought an allergy ...
