Natural Skin Lotion Helps Dry, Itchy Skin

Skin MD Natural Lotion

Skin MD Natural Lotion

You know how they say, “Arizona is a DRY heat”?  Well, that is true – and, boy, does this “dry heat” do a number on my skin!  I’ve always had dry, itchy skin.  I was diagnosed with Eczema quite a while ago and have been lathering on moisturizing lotion every since.  Very cold weather irritates the condition.  So does the dry heat of Arizona.

I recently tried a natural skin lotion from Skin MD Natural, www.skinmdnatural.com.  The lotion came in a 4 oz bottle that I was told would last 1 – 2 months.  Well, I was immediately skeptical since I really lather on the lotion.  I’ve used the product for about 2 weeks now, and I am not even half way through the bottle – so, this 4 oz bottle will last me well over one month!  That fact alone makes this product, priced at $18, a great deal.  I spend more than that on moisturizes that don’t work as well!

When I opened the bottle, I was met with a subtle floral scent that was calming, but not overbearing.  My initial application was in the evening and I was very careful not to squeeze out too much lotion – after all, I didn’t want to use up all the lotion in a few days.  I was very surprised when a dollop, less than the size of an olive, covered my entire leg.  I completed the application and was pleased to see that the lotion went on very smoothly and was not at all greasy.

I continued using this lotion once or twice per day for about two weeks.  I LOVE this product!  It helps reduce the dryness and itch immediately when I apply it to my skin.  But, the best thing about Skin MD Natural Lotion is that it seems to create a barrier or shield to protect my skin from drying out throughout the day.  I think that is the biggest difference between this product and many others — Skin MD Natural Lotion stays with me long after I apply it, thus I didn’t need to use as much as often – and, my skin still feels great!

I also love the fact that this company posts all of its ingredients on it website.  They claim to have the “most transparent ingredient disclosure in the industry.”  And, I believe them – they post every single ingredient they put in their product, along with a description of what it is and what it does.  Check it out for yourself:  www.skinmdnatural.com/shielding-lotion/ingredients.html.  

Skin MD Natural Lotion can be ordered with Sunscreen SPF 15 as well – which, is really great news for all of us living in the very sunny state of Arizona!

If you have dry, itchy skin, Natural Dry Skin & Shielding Lotion may be just the product you have been waiting for!  Visit www.skinmdnatural.com to find out more about the company and the product!

Winalite: Giving Women More Choice and More Quality

winaliteBall
Ladies, have you ever put much thought into the feminine products you use for “that time of the month”?  I think I, like most women, have accepted what is on the shelf at the local convenience store and just tried different products until I found what would work.  I would venture to guess that most women aren’t asking much of their feminine hygiene products other than to “take care of business”.  If the product purchased can keep any embarrassing moments at bay, we are pretty much pleased as punch.

I have had the opportunity to not only learn more about the feminine napkin market but also had the chance to try out a product that is new to the United States from a company that really cares about women and their health.  I was invited to a demonstration about Winalite’s Love Moon feminine napkins.  How interesting can a talk about “pads” go, right?  Have you wondered what your “pad” is made of?  This is something that is extremely close to your most private of parts.  How do you store your supply of pads?  I hate to admit that I store mine in the bathroom.  It is convenient and I can always know what kind of supply I have.  You never want an embarrassing moment of need if you know what I mean. 

WinaliteAnionPads

If you happen to have feminine “issues” like urinary tract infections, does your current feminine product allow for air flow while keeping you dry?  Can you be certain that your napkins have been made in a sterile environment and never touched by human hands? 

Winalite’s Love Moon  Anionic Sanitary Napkin is far superior than other feminine napkins on the market for the following reasons:

• Love Moon’s napkins are the only feminine napkins on the market that I know of that can claim a superior sanitary product.  The napkin itself is made with strict standards and the packaging is so secure that you can leave it in the bathroom knowing it would be safe from all the germs exposed in that environment.

• Love Moon has made their napkins without bleaching and with sterile cottony soft materials.  They feel like a pillow for your privates!  The leading brands are made from recycled paper pulp which has been known to have high levels of lead, bacteria and microorganisms as well as abundant additives used during the re-processing stage such as industrial alkaline, bleaching powder, deodorizer, fluorescence agent and other chemicals.
winalite7layers

• A base film which is permeable to air but not water.

• Adhesive base layer used for food products. This is good to know for those of us who have allergies to quite a few adhesives on the market.

• Negative ions courtesy of the anion strip in each pad.

Wondering what negative ions have to do with your feminine health?  Well, I had never really heard about the effects of negative ions on our body.  I remember vaguely discussing negative and positive ions in school and there was certainly no discussion of putting any of them in my feminine napkin!   Winalite has really great information about how the effects of the anion strip’s negative ions can greatly benefit your health.

I was excited to try out this new innovative product.  I mean, I was hoping to just “take care of business” a bit better than I had in the past with other products and that is about it.  I listened to and was shown the effect of negative ions during the demonstration.  One point stressed is that the negative ions has a different effect on each person and could have a detoxifying effect at first before you receive the real benefits of the anion strip.  I was told that the Anion tape embedded in each sanitary pad may help to eradicate odor, reduce stress, strengthen immunity, enhance metabolism, remove fatigue and enhance hormonal balance. 

I began my trial by using the panty liners.  They were very nice and performed well.  It seemed like a tiny pillow for my private area.   The true test for me was when I used the day time as well as the nighttime super long and absorbent pads. 

I have to say that using the Love Moon feminine napkin I had a great experience.  Absorbency was much greater, the odor control was much better and I felt much better during this monthly “stay” than in months past.

Scientifically I can’t say after one month that I could point directly to the ion strip for a more pleasant period experience.  I just never thought I would ever say the words, “pleasant period experience” so that is my own proof!

If you use feminine napkins and would like to get greener, cleaner, healthier or experience superior quality, then you will want to try these napkins for yourself.  I encourage you to see the short demonstration where you will hear bountiful information and have the opportunity to ask a lot of questions and stay as long as you want to find out more about feminine health.

Saving Time and Money with the Frigidaire Affinity Washer and Dryer

I have had my Frigidaire Affinity front loading Washer and Dryer for close to six weeks now.  I have read all the paper work and have set the washer and dryer settings to my liking.  I have tried those settings out more than a few times now.  So, I bet you are wondering if I am still in the honeymoon phase, right?

frigmetimebuttonad2

I am still in love with the new time saving and eco-friendly washer and dryer.  I did have to change a few ways of washing clothes since I have had a top loading washer all of my life.  For instance, I used to use a partial liquid and partial powder detergent ratio in my wash.  I did this because the liquid washed well but I felt the results from adding a little powder detergent got more stains and dirt out.  With front loading washers, you are instructed to only use liquid or only use powder detergent as using the two together would result in a caked up mess in the detergent reservoir. 

frig-washer_dryer

I find that just one of the many features about the Frigidaire Affinity front loading washing machine is that it is provides more agitating force so I don’t need to use powder detergent to get the same results.  I also don’t use the same amount of detergent.  It appears and says in the paperwork that it doesn’t need as much water to wash a load as well.  In every aspect that I can tell it is saving me money to wash with this machine.

I wanted to share with all my blogging friends a small video I made showing you the new additions to my home.  Watch the two and half minute video to see just a couple of reasons why I love the new washer and dryer so much.  Stayed tuned when I will tell you more about the dryer, the time saving settings and more features that I just love!

Time Saving Frigidaire Affinity Washer and Dryer

I have had the privilege of trying out the new Frigidaire Affinity line front loading washer and dryer.  This energy efficient and beautiful piece of machinery has changed the way I view washing clothes.
It has only been 3 days since I received the washer and dryer and while I know I will have more to report on my experiences with these incredible new appliances, I can already tell you what I really like about them.  The first thing I enjoy is the color.  I was able to choose my color and I chose the bold color red.  It has always been my M.O. to choose white appliances but I wanted to spice things up and even though red won’t go with anything in my house, no one sees them except for me and my family.  The color is a vibrant red that cheers me up and adds something to the experience of washing and drying.

Frigidaire Affinity Front Loading Washer and Dryer

It takes some getting used to for me since I have always washed in a top loading washing machine.  I like that once you determine the exact parameters you like for washing in each cycle, it remembers and you never have to set it up again.  That is a big time saver. 

The dryer is quiet and allows many more settings so you get the drying power you need and no more than you need.  That is very energy efficient!

As I use it more and more and get used to it I will let you know how these appliances can help save you time AND money.  I will even video tape my experience for you!  Please write me comments about what you don’t like about your current washer and dryer and I will let you know if the new Frigidaire Affinity washer and dryer can help you!
