This year when we went to Kauai on vacation, I decided ahead of time that I did not want to spend my precious vacation time in the tourist- trap stores hunting for cheap souvenirs for my loved ones back home. I’ve already been there and done that! The beach is where I want to be! There are, however some shops in Kauai that are worth a visit if you have the time to spare, and that is ho...

For years I've suffered with eczema on my face and neck. My dermatologist has prescribed one cream after another, usually a form of steroids. These creams can only be used for a short time and can negatively affect your skin if used too much.Plus, they're expensive.  During a routine visit to my eye doctor, I mentioned the eczema on my face, which was an embarrassment to me. He&nbs...

There are lots of natural, handcrafted soapmakers on the internet. If you soap with pretty colors and swirls, it's out there. If you want soap with great fragrances, it's out there. While Chagrin Valley's soaps smell good and look okay, these are not their strong points. However, if you want soap that treats your skin, Chagrin Valley soaps are for you.As evident by the ingredients l...

Over the last year or so, I've been making an effort to replace everything I purchase regularly with more eco-friendly options.  One thing I had an interesting time with was laundry soap - it didn't make sense to me to be buying something that was mostly perfume & filler... not to mention the residue it would leave on your clothes even if you used less than a full scoop.While r...

Last June I received a box of Neiman Marcus French milled soap as a gift. I love fragrant bath products and I really love this soap.First, it has a wonderful fragrance that is delicate and subtle so I can use it before using my favorite perfume and it does not compete with it. Second, it lasts a very long time. In a years time I have only used two bars of this soap. It doesn't "melt&qu...

When is a bargain not a bargain? When it doesn't work! I purchased this liquid hand soap because it was on sale at Target, and my favorite scent of lotion is Peppermint. However, when I got it home, and tried to open it, all the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't get the pump working properly.  It would not release like it should. So I decide to use a pump from a...

Murphy Oil Soap is hard to beat to clean wood, painted surfaces, leather, vinyl, marble, cars and most any thing you can wash with water.  If you can’t use abrasives, get out the Murphy’s!I first met Murphy Oil Soap 44 years ago, and it had already been around for about 60 years before that!  It’s still quietly cleaning dozens of items with biodegradable, natural ing...

What did we do before liquid hand soaps? I cannot stand to see a bar of soap out on a counter, for hand washing, as it spreads germs, and it gets so messy. I love the liquid soaps, and I've always been a fan of Softsoap. I've tried many fragrances, and antibacterial Softsoaps, but I had never tried a foaming hand soap until the Christmas holidays. We were away on vacation, and I always ...

When you're tired irritable or ready to scream, turn on the taps, pour in the bubbles and sink in a nice hot tub. Then.. grab a big fat fragrant bar of Roger et Gallet's perfumed soap and let the dreamy fragrance melt your cares away. Yes, they are that lovely. I got my first box at 16 years old from my mother, and have been buying these soaps ever since. These are not just soaps, but a...

I have a very dry and sensitive skin so I must carefully choose which soap to use based on their active ingredients.  I've tried Dove because I was hooked by its advertisement in our local television.  When I used it for the first time, I was immediately satisfied.  I didn't get any allergy and my skin was cleansed and moisturized the way I wanted it.  Thus, I've...

I don't know what possessed me to buy Lush's Retro soap, Soap Sod. The description of the soap should of kept me away, but something about it said BUY ME. Soap Sod is descibed as smelling like grass, and meadow flowers. The soap itself is nearly the same color as grass, and for some reason I thought it would make for an excellent summer scented soap. Well, Soap Sod did not lie. It arriv...

  I have very sensitive skin. Because of that fact, it can sometimes be very difficult to find a soap that is gentle enough to use on my skin, but tough on dirt and grime. My husband and I normally purchase Ivory brand hand and body soap but on our last shopping trip, we decided to try something different. We came across a promotional offer for Irish Spring deodorant soap. There were eight...

I was really excited when I got my sample of Bodycology items from Walmart.com. The 3-pack sampler included Bodycology Anti-Bacterial Soap Brown Sugar Vanilla, as well as a body lotion and body mist in the same scent. I hadn't tried Bodycology before and the scent Brown Sugar Vanilla really appealed to me. I really liked how each sample looked like a product bottle.The s...

I like hygiene. Sometimes it bothers me when there’s no soap available at the public toilets or sinks just when I want to wash my hands. I don’t think tissue is enough for cleaning hands at those times. When I came across a stationery store, I found this product, Lavender paper soap, made by Fancy Lobby. I asked the salesgirl about this product, and she answered that this paper soap...

I once bought this soap, Oriflame Mango & Yoghurt Soap Bar. I like to try new soap bars and since this soap is intended for sensitive skin, I decided to buy it. This soap bar is about 75 gr, and round-shaped and soft yellow-colored. I bought it on a discounted price at $0.8 (of normal price at $1), so it’s pretty cheap for a soap bar. The mango extract is meant for softening and moist...

I used this product to fight the grasshoppers off of my day lilies. During a bad infestation of grasshoppers a few years ago I used this product to save my day lilies from total destruction. Since I was having to spray every day I wanted something less toxic than the regular posions available. I chose this product for it's saftey, it washes off with water from a hose or rain and leaves no r...

This review is for Bath & Body Works Anti-Bacterial Gentle Foaming Hand Soap.  This soap comes in many different scents, but the one I am currently using is Japanese Cherry Blossom.  I'm a big fan of this scent because it isn't too heavy, its light and only slightly sweet.  One of the biggest selling points to me about this type of soap is that it comes out as a foam,...

I was very disappointed with Tone Exotic Fusions Hand Soap. It cleans your hands just fine and smells good too, but the pump is messed up! I purchased it because it is a foam soap and these tend to make washing hands more fun for my kids. They must have changed the bottle design and particularly the pump. I have purchased it before and it worked fine, but the two most recent bottles do not...

Kandoo Foam Soap is a useful product designed and marketed by the Pampers company for cleaning hands and various body parts for your little one. The soap is in a small and convenient size, and it is easy to use the hand pump on the top for dispensing. My little one, who loves to wash her hands, has no problem utilizing the soap to wash her own hands. We keep it right next to the bathroom and ki...

Kandoo foamy soap wash is a new product for cleaning and washing up your little ones from Pampers. We have had a lot of exposure to dirt, grime and other things that get my little ones hands and arms very dirty. I have found that this soap works better than most any other soap we have used. The advantage of this soap is the foam aspect. The foam is pumped out from the liquid inside. You have to...
