Method Body Wash - Follow-up Review

It's been almost 3 weeks since I started using my Method body wash and I have to say that I am still digging it as much as I did the first time I used it. My skin is soft and smooth and I smell good when I get out of the shower. I mean, what else is there to say?

I would recommend getting a loofah or a sponge or so meting to make the wash lather a little before you put it on. I usually just use my hands and get it all sudsy before I wash but this body wash doesn't lather all that great. The bottle will last longer and you'll be able to wash more of yourself if you use something.

Final Verdict:
I am really digging this product and I will buy it again when I run out. It smells great and it delivers on its promise to give you ridiculously soft skin. But, like I said, it's probably time to get a loofah.

Kiss My Face Deodorant - Follow-up Review

Well, so much for the two week mark. It's more like a 2 and a half week mark. I have been faithfully applying my deodorant everyday to make sure that I can get back to you with an honest review and because I care about you, my readers, I spent more time that anyone should smelling my own armpits. But after many a smell test and several sweat tests I have this to report back to you: This stuff rocks!

As you may know, I live in Kansas where it's not just insanely hot it's muggy too which means that any time spent outside in the sun means that you will be sweating like crazy. Last week while I was babysitting I decided to put the kids in the stroller and take a spin around the neighborhood to see how well my deodorant stood up to some real sweating. When we got back to the house I was soaked in sweat (and ready for a nap) but my armpits smelled just fine. I was shocked.

I even asked my mom to do a pit smell test, just to make sure that there were smells that I was missing. And let me tell you folks, she had her nose in my armpit taking some very deep sniffs and she says that she couldn't smell anything. She was so impressed that she has decided that she is going to start using it to.

I have found that it works the best when you apply it liberally to your pits, but even on days when you go a little on the light side you still don't have to worry about smelling bad. And while it might feel a little weird to put liquid in your armpits for the first few days you start to use it, you will grow to love it. I love it. My armpits have become quite sensitive (which is the whole reason that I bought it in the first place) and when I get out of the shower and they hurt from shaving, nothing is quite as soothing to them as rolling on that cool liquid. It's pretty awesome.

The Final Verdict:
I love this product and I am going to start recommending it to everyone I know. I mean, you know it's good ... I even got my mom to switch from her old spice stick (she has sensitive armpit skin too and it's all that used to work for her - until now!).

BPA Free Nalgene Bottle Review

A few of you might be wondering why I'm reviewing the BPA free bottles that Nalgene is making these days when I said that I wasn't quite ready to throw my old one in the trash just because of a little concern some people have with the possibility that the BPA might cause cancer in humans. If you want some more information about you, check out this old post.

Well, I ended up leaving my trusty Nalgene bottle at a friend's house and decided that instead of driving 45 minutes (one way) to pick it up I would rather go get a new one and spend $10 and get my other one this weekend when I can spend some quality time with my friend too. And if you're wondering why I didn't just tough it out, I was getting ready to go on a road trip to visit family over the 4th and not having a watter bottle was not an option.

So far I don't have any complaints. It holds water just fine (ha) and comes in the same pretty green color that my old one is. But the plastic is not as hard and that bothers me a little. The old Nalgene bottles were advertised as being indestructible and I've even heard that they come with a lifetime guarantee not to break because they are so heavy duty. My old bottle has some scratches on it, but none of them are deep and it looks fine.

My new bottle, however, fell out of the car during my trip and has several small dings on it from where it hit the ground, not that it's going to stop me from using it. Also, if you wrap your hands around the bottle and give it a squeeze, you can feel it give a little - something my older bottle won't do. It makes me wonder if these newer bottles will be able to hold up the indestructible reputation of the bottles that came before them. I certainly hope so.

Method Body Wash Review

I have been using Method's products since I saw an insert in a magazine that promised you could clean naked if you wanted to because their cleaners were natural and are much nicer to your skin than bleach or other household cleaners.

Well, several months ago a friend of mine brought to my attention the fact that Method is making bath and body products in addition to their home cleaners. I am an avid fan of their hand soaps and body washes. They are lightly scented (which is something that's important to me - too much smell and I will get a headache), never dry out my skin, and I can read the ingredients and understand the words. Pretty impressive. While I couldn't seem to find the body wash I usually buy (which is what the body wash link will show you), I did find some new body wash that Method is making now.

I decided to purchase their new Olive Leaf body wash last night. The packaging is beautiful, it looks like a pillow, and it perfumed but very, very lightly. My skin has never been so soft, and I'm not kidding. I can't stop touching myself! I would already recommend going with Method's stuff ... and I think I might be in love with my body wash. I even used it to shave my legs this morning and they feel amazing. I will write another review for you in two weeks to let you know if I'm still in love with my new body wash.
