Original Sprout Baby Care Products Review & Giveaway! US 7/4

Cade's 3rd Birthday Bash!

About Original Sprout
The Original Sprout was founded by Inga Tritt in 2003. The name Sprout was inspired by the birth of her daughter Maya in 2002. Inga was born in Germany, but grew up in Montecito, California. She has a love for nature, art and architecture, which led her to her successful career as a Master Stylist. She wanted to be a full time so she sold her salons and spas and moved to the country, where she lives creating safe professional products for families worldwide. 

Inga created a first of it's kind, ultra moisturizing natural baby bath and styling products for her newborn daughter's thick hair. She wanted to use the safest bath products, so she tried natural baby shampoos, however to her surprise all of the shampoos wreaked havoc on her daughter's hair and sensitive skin. Inga benefited from being a master stylist with professional experience and as a mother with real life experience bringing her adventure in finding the right shampoo for her daughter into Original Sprout, which is a globally trusted natural family brand. 


Hair & Body Baby wash
The Hair & Body Babywash is an extra moisturizing cleanser that gently washes away dryness, cradle cap, eczema, psoriasis, baby acne, heat rash, diaper rash and skin irritations.

I've used this on both of my boys when they have had diaper rashes, usually after just one bath using this awesome Hair & Body Babywash and a little air drying afterwards their rash clears up by the next diaper change. We use cloth diapers so I try to avoid using diaper creams as much as possible so I don't have to worry about the cream soaking through a liner or wondering if I should strip my diapers just in case, etc. 
Both of the boys also have sensitive skin and eczema, no matter how rough their skin is when they get into the bath tub, they always come out feeling as soft as a "baby's bottom"! Just for good measure, before drying them off I apply the Scrumptious Baby Cream to try and help extend the protection and softness of their skin til their next bathes.

Scrumptious Baby Cream
Scrumptious Baby Cream is a soothing protective barrier that helps keep skin sift and smooth. This cream has multiple benefits and is infused with Natural Zinc for Environmental Protection. Scrumptious Baby Cream has rosemary in it, which insects do not like, it also helps calm and soothe sensitive skin. A non-greasy and extra hydrating for any and all skin types, it also leaves skin soft, moist and as smooth as velvet. You can use this cream on babies, children and adults. 

With other lotions and creams I have tried on my two boys' skin they often seem a bit itchy after I've applied it. However, after apply this Scrumptious Baby Cream they do not seem to be bothered by, like they don't even feel it on their skin! I also love how the scent is like a fresh baby scent, not too strong, but enough that they still smell nice and clean even after a long day of playing or even a few days after the have had a bath. 
My skin is super moist and with out using any special moisturizing products I have always been told that my skin feels as soft as baby skin. Most lotions and creams that I have tried just sit on top of my skin and really bother me! With this Scrumptious Baby Cream I don't even feel it on my skin and I love that!

Deep Conditioner
Did you know that hard water, sun, wind and pollution can dehydrate your hair, which can make your hair prone to tangles, frizzies and flyaways? This specialized family formula Deep Conditioner cares for every hair type, transforming frizies into ringlets and flyaways into smooth, silky hair. This is a safe and effective natural choice for your whole family! This deep conditioner can be used for babies, children and adults with all hair types and textures. It is rich in moisture and protein.
 Jedilynn, my 7 year old daughter, has super thick hair and it is wavy, was very curly when before we gave her, her first hair cut at about 5 years old. Her hair becomes pretty frizzy during humid summer months as well as winter months as it becomes dry in our old house. Using the Deep Conditioner in her hair has really helped to tame her hair. 

Miracle Detangler
Miracle Detangler is a professional quick release formula that makes tough tangles history. Tangles release immediately making combing effortless! This non-greasy detangler leave hair silky, soft and naturally fresh. Combing is fast, painless and safe as the comb or brush glides through hair with organic and natural ingredients. You can also use the Miracle Detangler anytime for a fresh feeling or event o calm frizzies! Great for all types of hair styles and thicknesses, helps prevent breakage as well!
 Jedilynn's hair becomes so tangled so quickly! I can literally comb through her hair and if she walks, runs, twirls her hair is tangled like it wasn't even brushed! She also gets really bad tangles and brushing/combing her hair really hurts her head. The Miracle Detangler is just as the name says, Miracle! It truly has helped to make mornings a lot smoother! No more tears, no more fights and a lot less pain!! She still says ouch every now and then, but she is a 7 year old girl, a bit dramatic! You could toss a piece of popcorn at her and she would probably say ouch. But that is how girls are. 
 I also have hair that tangles super easy and I used to just deal with the pain and all the breakage from brushing my hair with out detangler because they are usually greasy and my hair is way more then oily enough by it's self. I really like using this Miracle Detangler though on my own hair as well! I don't notice added oiliness in my hair from it and it really does help release or loosen up those tangles. My hair is just above my waist, pretty long! So lots and lots of brushing, makes my arm pretty tired, especially with lots of tangles, but the Miracle Detangler helps a ton! Speeds up the process and lessens the soreness in my arm. 

 Even more benefits of using Original Sprout?!
 What could be better then a baby cream made with Organic Rosemary, which lice and insects do not like?

Ellison's Organics: Firetruck Soap Review & Giveaway! US 7/4

Cade's 3rd Birthday Bash!


About Ellison's Organics
You will find healthy and handmade beauty products including organic kids' soaps, bath salts, body balms, healing salve, soy wax tarts, lip balm and so much more at Ellison's Organics! All products are carefully formulated wiht the finest of ingredients to cleanse, nourish and pamper your body and home. 

  Carleigh uses organic essential oils, organic base oils (like organic coconut oil, organic unrefined shea butter and organic mango butter), as well as natural colorants with every opportunity! Despite her efforts of trying to only use organic ingredients some products are just not available in a certified organic form, but in those cases she will always use the closest-to-nature products available to her.

With that taken into consideration, you can definitely rest assured that all purchases from Ellison's Organics will help protect yourself as well as your family and friends from those harsh chemicals and additives that are predominant in the mass market today. Also, all ingredients are made in the USA, so you'll be supporting several US based small businesses with every purchase.

Ellison's Organic Story
 Carleigh and her husband have two handsome little men, Elliott and Harrison. Along with the birth of their second child Harrison, Ellison's Organics was born as well! Carleigh realized that she cared about not being able to pronounce most of the ingredients on the back of the bath wash bottle, so she decided she'd better do something about it. So she created Ellison's Organics to ensure that the things she was putting on her the skin of her often messy boys was going to do more for good for them than it would harm. She began searching and researching to find the most natural, finest and organic ingredients out there to create Ellison's Organics with. She was very pleased to find ingredients that she understood, such as, Mango Butter, Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter, Almond Oil as well as Coconut Oil. they were all safe and even beneficial for our bodies as well as sounding delicious.

 Organic Firetruck Soap

 How awesome! Organic unscented Firetruck soap and it actually looks like a Firetruck! Ellison's Organics firetruck soaps are unscented and can be made in a variety of colors, but of course they are usually made in red. They weigh about 2 ounces and are about 4 inches long, they are also shrink-wrapped.

Cade loves his firetruck soap! We are potty training when he is up for it, forcing wont help him potty train any soon, however back to my point. When he does use the potty then he washes his hands with his new firetruck soap. He also uses his firetruck soap in the bath tub and because loves for his hands to be clean I have a feeling I'll be purchasing more of these awesome firetruck soaps very soon! Before we had this soap he would ask for a baby wipe or napkin after each cheesy piece of food he ate or other type of food that would leave stuff on his fingers or leave them sticky. Literally after every piece! Now that we have this firetruck soap in our bathroom he runs into the bathroom to wash his hands very often! The soap does get his hands nice and clean and he is satisified with the cleaning ability of this soap. When he would ask for a wipe I'd have to wipe his hands many time before they were clean enough for him to go back to eating. 

Meltaway Lip Balm

 Ellison's Organics Meltaway Lip Balm provides soothing, moisturizing and smooth lip balm that is specially formulated to penetrate your skin quickly, leaving nothing behind except for healing and moisture. This is awesome for kids as it contains no chemicals, additives or scents!

Carleigh uses three powerhouse ingredients to create her awesome Meltaway balm, these ingredients are a combination of Organic Unrefined Shea Butter, Natural Pure Beeswax and Organic Virgin Coconut Oil. 

This lip balm is also available in a handy slid tin and can be used for soothing dry lips, elbows and cracked heels. Due to the nature of this balm and the fact that it does not contain any preservatives it should be stored in a cool and dry place, like a nightstand, drawer, purse, etc. It should not be left in car as it could melt, it may also melt in your pocket due to your body heat. It lasts for about six months, but I don't see how you could not have used it all before then. Each tube contains about .15 ounces of lip balm.

I'm not big on chap sticks, carmex or other mass produced lip products, but I love this Meltaway Lip Balm from Ellison's Organics! It does not need to be applied every five minutes like other lip products and it does not dry out your lips. I've used this lip balm for myself as well as on Ezio, my one and half year old. Jedilynn, my 7 year old daughter has also used this lip balm and tried to hide it from me because she wanted it to be hers and didn't want me to use it all!
