Honest Company

I've been meaning to make this post, but if you noticed from Brody's 5 mo pictures he was sporting a very cute butt that day. ;-) Thanks to Honest Company!
I am HIGHLY impressed with every product I've tried. You can get a trial of both lines for only $5.95 (shipping and handling).

The baby line includes: travel size wipes; Sample pack of diapers (7)
The essentials line includes: laundry detergent (1 load); travel size of Shampoo & Body Wash, Butt Cream, Face & Body lotion, and Hand Soap.

I fell in love with their Shampoo and Body Wash when receiving it with our Citrus Lane subscription, and everything else smells just as YUMMY! I don't use it as shampoo because of my psoriasis, but I do use it as body wash, but both boys use it.

I was really interested in their diapers, since my sensitive skin baby started developing rashes caused by his Pampers Sensitives. No butt paste would heal it. And after 1 day of switching to these diapers with no butt paste it was gone! I was SOLD! (Really dreading the thought of having to switch to cloth diapers....don't know if my sensitive nose could take that. haha) Happy baby= Happy mommy!!

The nice thing about the Essentials Bundle its only $35.95 a month. You can choose whatever 5 products you want. AWESOME! Last month I received $56.75 worth of products for only $36 bucks! Awesome!
  • Fruit/Veggie Wash- Since I now juice every day for breakfast I use this instead of vinegar to wash because I don't like the vinegar aftertaste. Def recommend!
  • Laundry Pods- Haven't tried yet since I still have some Tide Clean and Clear left, but I did like the trial sample. Just like Clean and Clear, no smell just clean.
  • Dishwasher Pods- I'm a big fan of pods. Easy to load and no mess. These get the job done.
  • Conditioner- Smells just as yummy as the Shampoo. Leaves Aiden's hair feeling great after a bath. Def recommend!
  • Bug Spray- As you know me and Aiden are highly allergic to mosquito bites (hope Brody doesn't get this curse!), and I HATE to spray bug spray on Aiden bc of the chemicals and the smell. We used a ThermaCELL last summer, but that thing was too bulky and Aiden always wanted to take the box off. I haven't seen too many mosquitoes yet, but in due time. But the smell is SOOOO much better! We will see how effective it is in about a month. TBD
Next month I'm ordering: Bug Spray (That way we have 1 for our house and 1 for Gabby and Grande's); Bubble Bath; Floor Cleaner; Sunscreen; and Organic Lip Balm Trio. $53.76 value for $35.95

Now for the Diapers Bundle its only $79.95 a month. You get 4 packs of wipes ($4.95 each- 70 count) and # of diapers depends on the size. We are in size 3 so that's 216 diapers. You can pick out 6 different patterns. I loooove the skull, hippo, and Lumberjack. Cutest butt around. Leaving the diapers at $0.28 each. I definitely don't use 4 packs of wipes each month maybe 2, so the extra 2 get thrown in the car and diaper bag. (Travel size wipe containers I think are SILLY because they only include like max 20 and what if you have an EXPLOSION?! A couple times in a row. 20 wipes won't cut it. haha!)

 Right now with my Amazon discount I get diapers at $0.24 each, so it's not THAT big of a different. Just 4 cents. And it keeps Brody's butt clear and I don't have to switch to cloth...so I will take it!! Wipes I'm paying more too $0.02 for Pampers and $0.07 for these, but these are alot sturdier than Pampers so it takes less during use.
This month they threw in a sweet card and a thank you extra. One of their Lip Balms...Amazing! Smells so good and it lasted too. Even Wes commented on liking it, so you know it's good then ;-) I got the Sweet Orange Vanilla (but sold in a 3 pack)
Nice packaging too, reminded me of Vera Bradley's shipping. Yes I would comment on this since I do work for a paper company. haha ;-) When I received the items I was actually home so I spoke with my mailwoman and she was like "Dang you get alot of boxes." hahahaha I guess I do, because I order all my essentials (laundry, diapers, wipes, pull-ups, diaper pail bags, formula, etc.) If it's bulky I order it.
  1. Saves me money (subscriptions; free shipping, no driving so no gas $ spent) 
  2. Saves me the hassle of trying to remember what I need (mommy brain)
  3. Shopping for bulky items with 2 boys isn't going to happen with 1 cart
  4. One less thing I have to worry about because I know the 1st week of the month everything is arriving on my doorstep.
As my parents say. We have it so easy these day ;-) I might have to agree! haha
