IRecently I decided to go on an all natural kick. You know, all 100% certified organic products and food. So, one day, while surfing the web for the newest line of organic products I stumbled upon natracare. I was blown away by the fact that there were actual organic feminine products! Clever, I mean, who would have thought? So, I researched the website: www.natracare.com (I printed the information below), and found out the most interesting facts about these special all cotton feminine hygiene must-haves, and most importantly, the major differences between natracare and the other feminine products I've always used. I was so intrigued by the information given that that very same day I ran out to Whole Foods and picked up a box of tampons and a pack of wipes to try out. I noticed a difference right away. The usual painful cramps that come with my cycle every month seemed to be far less achy and way more tolerable. I could actually go through my day without having to give into Midol or Tylenol. It's as if the tampon itself was more comfortable and less irritable. I assume that it is the bleach in regular tampons that makes the menstrual experience more painful. The wipes are terrific! Not only do they have enough moisture on them to wipe with ease, but they leave you with the fresh feeling of just washing with a body wash. Surprisingly, the wipes do not irritate or sting. It's all natural and odorless and convenient. I make sure to use them daily, even when I'm off my period, as a daily hygiene maintenance. The packet of wipes is small enough to throw into my makeup bag or my purse to use whenever I'm in class, out dining, or need a quick wipe-up after a gym workout. I also like that natracare's non-applicator tampons are small enough to throw into my change purse, totally discreet! After only a half year of using just the tampons and wipes, I'm so satisfied with natracare that I recently purchased the pads for bedtime use, or the days that I'm just not in the tampon mood. The all natural pads provided a totally different period experience for me. I felt a lot cleaner. Not only did these products provide comfort, but they are actually healthy for the female body as well as the environment. Then and there I made a commitment to protect my body, therefore using only what is best for it.

If you're like me, too afraid to have the laser surgery done, then you must still be wearing contact lens. There are a lot of contact solutions that have left my eyes dry and irritated, and sometimes even burn my eyes leaving them red, bloodshot and itchy. The Opti-Free Replenish does none of those things. It's very gentle, cleansing and refreshing, even when I'm not wearing contacts and want to wash my eyes out after a sweaty day. Opti-Free is definitely my choice and has been for a very long time. Besides, at only $18.00, it's a no-brainer of a savings!
Since I've been on this whole all-organic or nothing kick I've purchased more organic products than I ever have. Yes, even toothpaste. I do like that this product is all natural and earth friendly- (and that it's made in Italy!) But, aside from that, I've seen real results. Every morning I drink a cup of organic tea; and because of that I experience stains at times. This product is excellent for removing any unwanted discolorations on my teeth. And, it's totally a great buy (only $5)!
