Recently I was introduced to a really neat skin and body care product called Spongeables! This product most definitely has the ability to make your shower or bath experience that much better for many reasons!

So what is a Spongeable? It’s basically a one of a kind all in one sponge that’s infused with cleansers and skin care ingredients that make for a superb cleansing, exfoliating, massaging, and moisturizing experience unlike any other!

Each Spongeable is formulated with the finest skin care ingredients that include:

OLIVE OIL: The perfect hydration for all skin types.
GLYCERIN: A gentle cleansing agent that prevents moisture loss & helps skin maintain a good moisture balance
SHEA BUTTER: The optimum daily moisturizer for dry skin
VITAMINS A & E: Two powerfully healing antioxidants prevent premature aging and skin damage
each chosen to enhance the body’s complexion from neck to toe.

My Experience…

I was sent a Spongeables® Lavender Nectar in the 20+ uses 3.5 oz unit and a 1.2 oz, 5+ use travel size to share my thoughts on.  I found that this product lathered well and left my skin looking and feeling great. It made for a great shower experience and smelled so good without being over the top. I am usually pretty sensitive to smells so the fact that this product didn’t bother me was wonderful.

The exfoliating part of the sponge worked great on rough spots and I was really happy with the fact that I didn’t have to use multiple products while showering. Usually I have to reach for my body wash, sponge, and exfoliating things . The all in one properties of the Spongeables makes for great convenience in time saving and it’s perfect to carry a long when traveling! In fact, I am planning on taking a long the travel size Spongeable I received next month when we are on vacation!

Spongeables® come in variety of designs and scents to meet the needs of everyone in the family. I’d be interested in trying out the Grapefruit Spongeable and perhaps getting the Ducky Duo for my kids!

If you are interested in purchasing Spongeables® for yourself you can purchase them from their website and also from many well known retailers such as Walgreens, Amazon, and more. These products also are offered in already pre-made gift baskets that are great for giving to someone you love!

One thing that is at the top of my list to treat myself to at the end of the day when I am feeling the need to be pampered is warm soothing bath. A bath gives you the ability to relax and unwind at the end of the day and it also gives a good, sound, restful sleep at night. The San Francisco Bath Salt Company knows how important caring for the body can be as they offer the very best of all sorts of bath salts, scrubs, and gourmet salts. 

Some of the benefits of bath salts are helping to ease stiff, sore, muscles and aching feet and legs.They can open the pores, purifying the skin, cleansing away dirt, sweat, and toxins. They also help to heal dry skin, making skin softer and more supple. Salts can also help improve irritations such as rashes, eczema, insect bites, etc. They can improve the appearance of scars. Salts made with essential oils offer the added benefit of aromatherapy with their pleasant, soothing scents and have been shown to induce calmness and promote relaxation.

I was overjoyed when this company gave me the opportunity to review a 16 ounce jar of their Muscle Soak Bath Salts. The Muscle Soak salt blend is the perfect treat for your tired and achy muscles. Made with pure Epsom Salt and eucalyptus and peppermint essential oils the Muscle Soak salts are sure to relieve even the most overworked muscles.  This is the ideal salt for people with physical jobs, athletes, and for anyone who needs to give their muscles a pick me up. Trust me, after delivering a baby not to long ago by body needs this pick me up as it’s getting back into a routine! I didn’t have to use very much in my bath to feel and know that the salts were working!  My body not only felt great after my bath but my skin smelled nice and felt softer too!

I sent the link to this site to my husband for a  gift idea! I would love to receive more bath salts! There are so many different scents and different types of salts available. And hey Mother’s Day is coming up soon! Trust me, any mom would love to receive a gift that has the power to rejuvenate the body and lift the spirits.  I think the  San Francisco Bath Salt Company’s Bamboo Refillable Jars are really cute!

I’d like to introduce you to Motherlove, a herbal company that just celebrated it’s 20th birthday. This company is dedicated to making and offering  naturally safe and effective products for mothers.

Products available at Motherlove include those for pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding and babies, which are all formulated to soothe and nurture both body and soul. I was very pleased to see that all of their products rated zero on Skin Deep for toxicity which is the lowest possible rating!

This is a company that also gives back to the community by offering over 10% of after tax profits to the Nurturing Life Foundation. This foundation is set to assist mothers in need promoting benefits of breastfeeding and create greater opportunities for children.

Our Thoughts…

Being one to lean toward using skin care products that use organic ingredients  I was given the opportunity to review a couple of products from Motherlove to not only use for myself but to also share with my readers here at Connecte2Christ.

The two products I’m here to share my thoughts on today are Motherlove’s Diaper Rash and Thrush Salve and Green Salve. One is a must have product if you have a little one in your home and the other is perfect for the entire family.

Motherlove’s Diaper Rash and Thrush Salve is a product I plan on turning to for all my diaper rash needs! I cloth diaper baby so we rarely see rashes but on occasion a little redness can occur which is quite undesirable for my little guy.  A need to know is that typical diaper rash creams on the market aren’t recommended for cloth diapering because it can cause unwanted build up on your diapers because of the zinc they contain. It’s just really difficult to get that stuff to wash out and it’ll leave diapers needing to be stripped and having to be replaced a lot sooner than it should be!

The Diaper Rash salve from Motherlove is completely cloth diaper safe as it contains no zinc whatsoever. I used this on my son last week and the redness on his little bum cleared up within a few hours, talk about fast and super effective! This salve is available in a 1 ounce container making it the perfect size to just throw in a diaper bag without taking up much space. And though it only comes in 1 ounce know that a little will most definitely go a long way.

The Green Salve from Motherlove, I’m equally impressed with! This product works well for taking the itch out of insect bites, bee stings and poison ivy. It also is great for soothing the discomforts of rashes, chapped and irritated skin.

During the winter, my lips get pretty chapped so I decided to try the Green Salve out on my lips. It worked wonderfully re hydrating my lips and easing any discomfort I had! I honestly am very glad to have the salve on hand for when any bug bites occur and also for any other unwanted skin discomfort my family and I may suffer from.

Overall I encourage you to check out Motherlove for a number of great products for mothers and babies. I found everything reasonably priced starting at $8.50 and up. They have a nice set up whether you want to purchase one product or a gift set for yourself or for someone you know.

-Win it!-
