This Movement is This Mama Approved!

I admit that I’m a skeptic when it comes to new products on the market that claim to help protect against leaks and odour when it comes to that time of the month. I have always been a sanitary pad girl with the ideology that even tampons are too technical...

Delicious Alternative to Popcorn!

I have tried popped lotus seeds in the past and really liked them as a healthier for you popcorn substitute, but the Karma Bites Caramel Popped Lotus Seeds are game changers. These, I WOULD give up popcorn for! Caramel popcorn is one of my ultimate weaknesses but everyone knows good...

Perfect for the COVID Crazy!

As someone with a newborn baby, I can safely label myself as one of those people who has gone COVID crazy. I have been wearing masks long before they were mandated and have been using hand sanitizer to an extreme degree. My skin already gets extremely dry in the winter...

Nice to Meet You, Salsola Stocksii!

I had no idea what to expect when I received the Lumiere de Sel Fine Black Salt "infused with Salsola Stocksii for a savory egg-like aroma". That is literally what it says on the box and literally what it smells like. Not too pungent, just enough to think how odd,...

Proud to be Chewsy!

I am just going to come out and say it - Chewsy, I love you. As a self proclaimed gum addict, I am embarrassed to say that I have never tried a natural gum before. Thanks to Chewsy, I can now not only say I have tried and love natural...

Simple, Healthy & Delicious!

I am a HUGE snacker and spending the last few months mainly locked inside the house has not helped my case any. I normally reach for the oily, greasy, deliciousness of fried potato chips but decided to try something a little healthier for me... Kaley's Dill Pickle Kale Chips! Kaley's...

Earthy Goodness For Your Mouth!

I am brand new to the whole 'natural toothpaste' fad so trying the Bentodent Premium Mint toothpaste was an exciting new adventure for me and my family! I had to do a little research and was astounded at what the mainstream toothpastes' contain in their ingredients and what those ingredients...

Great for ALL periods!

Just recently having a baby and being period-free for the last year, I forgot how nerve wracking it can be to be unsure of whether or not you are being fully protected by your pads and liners. The first period after baby is no joke and it was much heavier...

Better For You Couscous!

My family LOVES the Chicken & Herb Barley Couscous from the Alaska Flour Company! We are avid carbohydrate eaters in our household and still have them at every meal, despite being told they are bad for you... especially prepackaged ones. The addition of Alaskan barley makes this a healthy alternative...

Tangy & Delicious!

Growing up in a Ukrainian household, beets and horseradish were staples in my childhood. Many people have probably not tried them together but we often ate roasted or boiled beets with a homemade horseradish cream... delicious! I was intrigued to see that Rudolfs came out with a Bio Organic Beetroot,...

The Natural Way to Look Naturally Radiant!

Natural skincare is so important to me but is also some thing that I am very picky with. I get frustrated with products that claim to be all natural but aren’t or that are all natural but break me out or don’t work as well as their non-natural competitors. Ellie...

We use oils everyday in our cooking but up until now we had never experimented with Pumpkin Seed Oil. I haven’t heard of or seen this type of oil in grocery stores so I was pleasantly surprised to discover that not only is Pumpkin Seed Oil good for you, it’s...

I have found my new favourite nut butter! I incorporate the classic peanut butter into my breakfast every morning and although peanuts are one of my least favourite nuts, it’s the only nut butter I’ve tried! Pistachios, on the other hand, are one of my favourite nuts yet I’ve never...

Delicious, Healthier Energy Drink!

Caffeine is a vital part of my daily routine. The first thing I do in the morning is brew myself a strong, hot cup of coffee. Then, I usually brew myself one more right after. In the afternoons I find myself needing yet another cup of coffee or I end...

They contain only real ingredients and are made without artificial flavours, preservatives, GMO’s, and refined sugars and alcohols. Still not sold? What if I also told...

Strawberry Smoocha

Lip balms are essential for me year round and if I was stuck on a deserted island with the ability to only bring 3 things, you can bet a good lip balm would be one of them... more specifically, the Strawberry Organic Smoocha Lip Balm would be one of them....
