Rescue Irritated Skin with Pure Fiji: Review and GIVEAWAY!!!

· by · 2 Comments

There are certain people in this world that mosquitoes absolutely love and adore. I am one of those very lucky people. Evidently, I am the tastiest of all treats to any and all mosquitoes in the area, and every time I step outside, it’s like putting blood in a shark tank. They come from miles around, I swear, just to make a little snack out of me.

All this is to say that I’m covered in mosquito bites for several months out of the year. Fun times.

I have some anti-itch cream in my medicine cabinet, and I am not afraid to use it. But it smells so….medicinal. I was really excited to hear about a natural alternative from the company Pure Fiji. They have a Dilo Rescue Body Spray and it is pure indulgence! From the website: “Refresh, Revive and Replenish skin instantly with this soothing natural spray. Made with dilo, aloe and ngi grass extracts to soothe and hydrate skin for 24 hours, discover a gentle yet highly effective way to soothe, moisturize and nourish irritated skin affected by sunburn, dehydration, insect bites, rashes or shaving.”

I really love just how useful this product is. I have used it on razor burns and insect bites so far, and have been really pleased with the results. I am also glad to have it on hand should we experience any sunburns this season (hopefully not!). I love having something that is based on ingredients found in nature. After reviewing the Pure Fiji website, I also have to say that I’m excited to have a product from a company like this. They are doing great things in Fiji and have an excellent commitment to treading lightly on Mother Earth. Their packaging is eco-friendly and they use sustainable raw materials in their production. Good stuff!

Pure Fiji has a drool-worthy line of products for face, skin and hair that will leave you rejuvenated and hydrated, almost as if you are just returning from a fantastic vacation in Fiji! Many of their products make use of coconut oil, which I have learned is one of the very best ingredients for hydrating your skin and your hair. And the smell of their products is unbeatable. It takes me back to the few times when I have had the luxury of going to a spa for massages. I feel instantly relaxed when I smell my Pure Fiji product. That in and of itself is worth a lot to me!

Buy it!: Pure Fiji products are available online and free shipping is offered to orders over $79. The Dilo Rescue Body Spray I reviewed retails for $39.

Happy Feet Review and GIVEAWAY!!!

· by · 165 Comments

Lately my feet have been oh so happy with me. I’ve been treating them right! No, I haven’t been staying off of them or getting weekly pedicures. In fact, I’ve been doing just exactly what I’ve always done: making my feet work really hard for me!
But I’ve been using Happy Feet Therapeutic Massaging Insoles in my shoes, and that is making all the difference in the world. I don’t have any specific foot problems like heel spurs, corns or plantar fasciitis, although if I did, these insoles are meant to help with those conditions. Nope, I just have plain old sore feet, and I have noticed that the soreness has increased with age.
But it turns out that your feet don’t have to hurt! I honestly never considered getting insoles for my shoes until I heard other bloggers talking about what a difference it was making for them. I thought that I should give it a try, but I wasn’t expecting to notice any difference.
I’d say that I started noticing a difference in about 3 days. My feet weren’t nearly as achy as they normally were at the end of the day. After about 5 days, I started noticing something else: my back wasn’t as sore, either! There’s a connection between sore feet and a sore back, folks! I didn’t realize that!

Unless you are already battling major problems related to your feet, insoles are probably not on your radar as something that can help you feel a lot better every day. But I’m here to tell you that these are really nice, and now that I have a pair, I don’t think I’ll look back and will be getting some for myself every year or so. I love them so much that when I change shoes, the insoles come along with me. They even make versions designed to work with thong sandals! Pretty cool, huh?

Happy Feet Insolescost $44.90 (that includes shipping). That’s about what you would pay for a pair of shoes, right? What you are actually buying, however, is the ticket to turning every pair of shoes you own into shoes that are comfortable and help you thrive, instead of the shoes they likely are, which is uncomfortable at worst, and at best, comfy but unsupportive. Also, they can be put in the washing machine should they ever get a little stinky (but only air dry, please!). LOVE that!

Happy Feet are proudly manufactured in the USA and each pair comes with a one year warranty!
Win it!: One lucky Stuff Parents Need reader will win your own pair of Happy Feet Therapeutic Massaging Insoles! The contest will run until July 29th at 11:59pm EST when a winner will be selected via Random.org. The winner will have 48 hours to respond to winning notification before the prize is forfeited and a new winner is selected. Open to residents of the United States. Limit one entrant per household, please.

Mandatory entry: Your choice: either follow Happy Feet on Facebook or Twitter!
