I have always loved the scent of mint. It’s probably because when I was a little girl, my mother used to plant mint in the backyard. After I was done running around playing, I always used to break off a spring and smell it. So naturally when I was asked to review LifeTree Botanicals Smooth Peppermint Natural Soap, I was more than happy to do so.
I have been washing my hands with this soap all week, and my skin has been soft and smooth, never dry. The soap smells faintly of a stick of peppermint gum, but it is not pungent or overpowering. Also, I can pronounce all the natural ingredients, which are simply: water; olive, palm and coconut oils; dried mint leaves; and peppermint essential oil. There are no strange or harsh chemicals, and all the soaps are free of animal products.
If you visit lifetree-botanicals.com, you will find a company, run by Elizabeth Cappuccio, whose tagline is: Handmade soap is one of the worlds most natural luxuries. You will also notice a variety of other scents you can purchase individually or in a gift basket. These small soaps are also commonly used at favors at weddings and showers, which is a really cute idea.
These lovely little squares of clean will make you happy. I’d love to try more, especially the lavender oats soap! I highly recommend them.
Why spend money on cleaning products for your fruits and vegetables when you can just use tap water? The lotus Sanitizing System from Tersano makes this dream come to fruition. This countertop appliance resembles a large bowl and uses technology to oxygenate water. The Oxyshield technology uses ordinary tap water and allows you to effectively clean fruits and vegetables and even your countertops!
To find out more about lotus, check their website for all the details.
Oxyshield adds ozone to water thus creating a highly effective and environmentally safe cleaning product. The system that I am using contains a spray bottle for a few items or a large bowl for multiple items. It also contains refill cartridges and micro fiber cloths. Tersano also sells other parts such as toothbrushes and baby bottle cleaners.
I’ve been using the lotus sanitizing system for a few months and I have to admit, my produce is cleaner than it was just by using basic soap and water or vegetable wash. The best part is, NO chemicals are added to the produce.
The system takes a few minutes to oxygenate the water, but there is a handy percent counter to help you pass the time. I like how clean the produce not only looks but feels after the initial washing. Maybe it’s my imagination, but my produce looks cleaner and brighter then it did at the store.
You can purchase lotus systems online as well as retailers such as Linens n Things, Bed, Bath and Beyond and Costco.
Check it out on the web and see what other people think, but get it now before it sells out because it’s a great product!
