Jenny Lynn Soaps review and giveaway

I was so excited when I was asked to a review of JennyLynn Soaps.  Since I started blogging I have come to appreciate homemade products. I love getting to meet the person behind the product and I think it is amazing that most of them are made in someone's kitchen or basement. Where ever it's made I'm always impressed when something awesome is hand made. JennyLynn has been making soaps as a hobby for three years and has decided to make it a business. I'm even more excited to be one of the the first people to share her products.

All of the soaps are organic and GMO free. The oils are a higherquality of Olive, coconut, shea, organic sun, flower, organic palm, and essential oils.  Everything is kept simple for the most sensitive allergies.  There are 22 different scents , 21 of which are available on the website at this time.
The size of the soap is approximately 5 to 5.5 ozs and labeled in brown lunch bags with a few stamps, giving it a vintage look. The prices range from $5.50 to $6.50 per bar with with free shipping offered on occasion.

I received an amazing variety of scents to review. I can tell you the box smelled amazing before it was opened. My husband texted me  "you got a package that smells like flowers"  When I got home and opened it I was so impressed. The first one I grabbed was my new favorite scent Cherry Almond. The bar is very well made and smells unbelievable.  The combination of the two scents makes an aroma that is almost edible. I was very happy with the way the soap lathered and I love that it left me feeling clean without sticky residue. The scent was lasting and lingered on my skin for some time.  After using I feel clean and my skin feels super soft.

The other scents are Grapefruit Margarita which I love it has a light fresh hint of citrus but the citrus is not too overbearing. Oatmeal Honey Goatmilk I was surprised I liked this one but it is very pleasant. It doesn't smell like honey or oatmeal but the combination makes a unique fragrance, Organic Peppermint Tea Tree - I am always a fan of peppermint scents and this one didn't disappoint. With it's invigorating peppermint scent that i could smell all day. Lavender/flowers I will admit this was not one of my favorites. I thought I was a fan of Lavender but it appears pure lavender is a bit raw and too strong for my taste. If you enjoy the smell of lavender this soap would be perfect for you.

Rose Goatmilk is another one that I instantly liked but I have always been a fan of rose scent that has always been my go to scent. The smell of Rose Goatmilk is not too flowery it has just a hint of rose. Green Clover is another scent that I was surprised by, I really liked the smell with it's fresh smell.  To me This scent would be unisex  and could be used by the entire family. Lavender Lemongrass Castile Goatmilk made with 100% olive oil this one smells much better than I expected. I could see this one being unisex as well. I was very excited to try Pachouli I have heard of the scent but never smelled it. I am not a fan of this one, the smell is hard to describe. Although I am not a fan the smell is not unpleasant just not my taste, I think this one is a bit masculine. Lemongrass smells like well lemons and I have always associated lemons with a fresh clean smell. I would use this as a bathroom hand soap.  Evergreen Lavender has a hint of lavender but is a much sweeter smell than pure lavender, that is the smell I like. This one is very pleasant, slightly flowery but not too in an annoying way. The smell reminds me of the faint smell of flowers in a near by field. I could smell this one all day as well.

I have mentioned before I have eczema and this soap did not irritate my skin at all. In fact Peppermint Tea Tree is known to temporarily relieve itching from insect bites, eczema, and poison ivy. If you check out the JennyLynn website there is an in-depth description of the soap's ingredients and benefits of those ingredients.  Some of the benefits include improving acne and help relieving achy muscles.

Keep Buzzin Body Products review and giveaway

I have told you before I have this hand cream obsession I use it constantly so I'm sure it's no surprise I have tons of different fragrances and brands. I'm so excited to tell you about a new brand I discovered and fell in love with. Keep Buzzin Body Products is all natural products with no oxy benzone, phthalates, sulfates, paraben, lanolin, carmine, coloring, or petrolatum.

The ingredients are 100% vegan with no animal testing but when they say 100% natural they mean it the jars are 100% recycled made in the USA with no BPA plus the safety shrink SLEEVES are made from 100% compost and corn.  You can't get any more natural so this is a company you can feel great about buying from.

I was sent three hand creams and a foot cream to try so I dove right in. The box, packaging, and jars are super cute and colorful. My shipment was carefully packed to avoid any damage. Of course I opened the box and smelled them all when I pulled them out of the box. My sister was here and she agrees they all smelled so good they were almost edible. I received the Cherry-Almond hand cream, Tangerine Hand Cream, True Lavender Hand Cream and the Spearmint foot cream.

I liked them all so much I don't know which one to tell you about first. I guess I'll go with the first one I used. It's summer and I've been walking barefoot so I grabbed the foot cream first. I got the Spearmint and when I opened it the first thing I thought of was Double Mint gum. That is exactly what it smells like so of course it is amazing. The smell is very pleasant, distinct, and long lasting. This is one of my favorites I would buy this lotion for myself or a gift.

The next one I tried was the Tangerine Hand Cream which you guessed it smells JUST like a peeled tangerine so it smelled good. But I will admit this one was a little too overwhelming for me. The smell although a good smell was too strong but very LONG lasting. If you like tangerine and citrus I would recommend trying this hand cream, it was just not for me. I will give it my sister,she loved it when i opened the jar.

The next one I tried was the True Lavender I really liked this one as well. It smells a little more like it would be lavender spice but still a very pleasant smell. And since lavender is relaxing I used it after my hot bath. This one is very nice and I would purchase it for myself or a gift.

Last but in no way least the Cherry-Almond hand cream. I LOVED this one. It smells identical to fresh cherries which is a smell I am very drawn to. The almond scent is elusive but that was not a big deal to me. This is my favorite of all of the hand cream. The only problem is it may make you hungry because it smells edible.

I love the texture of all the lotions they are thick like body butter but absorb extremely quickly with no oily residue. If you remember, I have eczema and these creams did not irritate me at all . I have used them as a hand cream and body cream. The best part, they sell for only $10.00 a jar so they are super affordable. I hope Keep Buzzin starts making bath gels and body sprays I would love to layer these scents.

Keep Buzzin has generously offered to give one of you a chance to win your own four pack of lotions in the same amazing scents I reviewed!!  I think that is so awesome. So here are the rules:
