Review: Spider Repellent



This spider repellent seems to have such a strong aroma, which I like. I love essential oils! The smell is very inviting, and I can imagine it is the opposite for spiders. They don't like these scents. They tend to stay away from them. I noticed it on ants, when I spray with lavender or peppermint essential oils, they make a complete 180 and walk back to where they came from! I am confident that this spider repellent is doing the same. The smell of essential oils must be overwhelming for them. However, I don't like spiders. I tend to panic when I see one in my house. I don't want to kill them, either. I know they have an important role in this world. I just don't want them in my home. I feel comfortable leaving this sachet laying around the house, because I know it does not hurt us or them. Essential oils are something I use regularly around my house. I diffuse them, I add them to my cleaning products, and I use them for bath and body uses. Therefore, I will be purchasing some more of this spider repellent for my entire home. It really does smell very nice! And, I haven't seen any spiders since I started using it! I am definitely telling my family and friends about this!

Review: Dr. Bronner's Coconut Oil



A few weeks ago, I had gone online to do a bit of research on Dr. Bronner and the whole kernel virgin coconut oil. I knew about the Castille soaps; for I used them all the time in my household. Not only is Castille Soap used as soap, I also use it to clean my home and wash our laundry. It works great at taking out stains, too! So, of course, I was stoked to hear that my group and I would be testing the Whole Kernel Virgin Coconut Oil. Coconut oil does so much good in this world. I swear, if you Google it you are going to get a list of about 100 ways to use this oil. Not only is it used for cooking and baking, it is also used for the body as a body butter, lotion, hair masque, chapstick, toothpaste, deodorant, oil pulling, immune booster, and much more. There are so many health benefits to virgin coconut oil, that we can go days talking about this. Another great thing about Dr. Bronner is that they are Fair Trade. So, their products are organic AND they are Fair Trade! Dr. Bronner always wanted the people to be All One. He also felt strongly about being fair with his products, both for the consumer as well as the employees. He also wanted to help the earth and the animals! Let it all be fair! It is great to know that there are companies out in this world that are doing good in every way possible! It is very admirable and definitely a very good influence; for which I would like to learn more from and follow such great attributes. 

That time had come for our group to gather. We decided to hang out this past weekend, my family and I, for my brother-in-law's birthday. We had fun. We laughed. We sang. We then talked about Dr. Bronner's Coconut Oil and the lotions. I took the lavender-scented lotion that was provided to me for free for sharing the sample lotions and taste-testing the coconut oil-whole kernel. My family was more than thrilled to get started and learn more about Dr. Bronner. They were very pleased to know that Dr. Bronner coconut oil, lotions, and all of his products were organic and Fair Trade. They loved the way the lotions smelled. Then, they not only tasted the coconut oil, they also wore it on their skin. Some used it as lotion, another used it to over her eczema, while another used it on his cuticles. They liked the way it felt on their skin as well as how well it tasted. They said they would definitely purchase it in the exact size. I, too, really enjoyed tasting and using the oil. The lotions were so cool! They smelled really nice, and they didn't give you that feeling of thickness nor were they non-breathable. It made your skin feel so soft and smelled naturally good! 

Do you use coconut oil? If so, how do you use it?
