{Stork Report} Giveaway #5: Garden Of Holly

This contest is now closed. Thanks for entering!

Natural products for babies AND the rest of us? Yes, please!

Pregnancy is full of “dont’s”. Don’t eat this, don’t do that — for 9+ months, a woman’s life is on hiatus as they grow their precious baby, trying as hard as possible not to eat or do anything that will harm the little one. And then they are born, and we smear them with an array of lotions and powders and baby washes and diaper creams and goodness knows what else they come into contact with. Have you ever read the label of some of these products? There are so many ingredients, most of which are not natural. Kinda scary, right?

Ahhhhh, but there’s an alternative. Garden of Holly has organic natural skin care, baby products, candles, perfumes, and cleaning solutions. Their products are nontoxic and synthetic free. You won’t find parabens or other nasty chemicals in them. They are a natural mamas {and of course non-mamas, too!} best friend!

Baby Dew Breathe Easy– this natural alternative will soothe a congested little one

Baby Dew Body Oil: moisturizing help for baby’s sensitive skin!

Of course, there are SO much more than baby products at Garden of Holly. How about some “Deep Sleep” massage oil?

I tried one of the lip balms, too, and let me tell you– bliss! It was easy to apply, great smelling, and it kept my lips soft in all this winter weather. No small feat!

I was thrilled to review Garden of Holly’s Baby Dew Baby Powder with my little Noodle. She has sensitive skin, so we were on the lookout for a natural and safe powder to use. This blend does not contain harmful talc; instead, it has ingredients such as Arrowroot Powder, Baking Powder, Lavender, and Chamomile. Lavender is a calming scent, so we love to use this baby powder after Noodle’s bath and before bedtime. I believe it helps her sleep! The texture was a little different than previous powders we used, but it went on smoothly and she loves it. So do I– I’m thrilled to have found such a wonderful and natural product to use on my baby!

{As a side note, I ordered the Psoriasis and Eczema Salve to try out on my extremely dry “winter elbows”. I used it this morning, and as of 8PM tonight they are still moisturized! I haven’t been able to use other topical products on my super-dry skin due to the harsh ingredients so I’m BEYOND thrilled to have found an alternative.}
