Ouch

Ridiculously useful

Yep that’s right. Goodbye Ouch has 80 plus uses and we’re still counting. (See the page 80 Uses and you’ll see we’re really not bluffing here).

What will your favourite use be?

Ouch

INGREDIENTS:
Goodbye Ouch is made of soothing + therapeutic ingredients such as:

  • Organic Beeswax from happy NZ bees.

  • Powerful essential oils of Eucalyptus, Tea Tree, Manuka, Frankincense and Geranium
  • Lots of Love

ABOUT GOODBYE OUCH

  • We have been using various versions of Goodbye Ouch for about as long as we’ve been married. This is not because we’re married, mind you! It’s also when Becky finished her massage therapy and products training.We use it in our family on a huge range of pains, aches, and injuries, as well as cough and cold ailments (see 80 Uses for our very extensive list!). We’ve even used Goodbye Ouch on our goat (he got a leg gash from being kicked by our cow) and one of our hens (who broke her leg). Even more ridiculous, we’ve used it to stop a squeaky hinge, lubricate a barrel pump and polish a scratch on our wood table. Among other things!

    Goodbye Ouch is a product that we’ve developed with love and care, right in our own kitchen. Our children are often our most important product critics. They know how to distinguish between the ingredients, consistency and texture and help us make a great product!

    We’re a very active family – sailing, tramping, working outdoors so we needed a product that was light, easy to carry and had maximum effectiveness. We hope you enjoy the product as we much as we have enjoyed making it for you.

    With love

    Becky, John, Helena and Isaac

Palmolive Ayurituel Shower Gels

home_ayurituel_promo

Palmolive Ayurituel

Find your sanctuary with Palmolive Ayurituel 
The exotic new Palmolive Ayurituel shower gel range was inspired by Ayurveda, an ancient Indian tradition. The indulgently scented shower gels create a harmonious body and mind experience that leaves you feeling balanced and energised.

    Rediscover your well-being and inner harmony with Palmolive Ayurituel Joyous. Its unique formula, with Indian Mulberry and Lotus Flower extracts, will pamper your senses and take you to a new level of sensorial experience!

 

 

tranquility_product

  • Palmolive Ayurituel Joyous
    Rediscover your well-being and inner harmony with Palmolive Ayurituel Tranquility. Its unique formula, with Indian Neem and Patchouli extracts, will soothe your senses and take you to a new level of sensorial experience!

 

 

 

When we were approached to review these new products from Palmolive, I didn’t know what to expect to be honest.
Ayurveda encourages us to take responsibility for our own health according to the different stages of our lives, the seasons, and the environment we live, work and play in. According to Ayurveda, the five elements of nature – space, air, fire, water and earth – combine in the body as three components, or doshas, known as Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. These three mind-body types express particular patterns of energy and unique blends of physical, emotional, and mental characteristics. Each of us will have a dominant dosha or mind-body type which each has a specific set of lifestyle and nutritional guidelines to help us achieve and maintain a good state of health.*
Now I have to admit that this didn’t mean a lot to me and I’m still looking into it as I do believe that there are a lot of things that influence our ‘being’ as such.
But for now, it was about the Shower Gels
First of all I loved the bottles. To me it had the ideal womanly shape and I’m not sure if that was intentional or not, but to a company like MUMSreview, that’s something we’re going to notice.
Next step was to take time to smell the roses, or in this case the fragrances that are ‘Palmolive Ayurituel’
I had already decided that I would share the Shower Gels with members so that we could each have the opportunity to try these gorgeous products and report back within a smaller time frame, but now the problem came……which one would I keep for myself ?
My favourite fragrance was actually the Joyous but there was something about the tranquilty that really appealed (perhaps it was wishful thinking) so I decided to keep this one.
I loved that you didn’t need to use a lot and it definately went a long way. I did however find that the aroma was a lot more subtle in the shower which was good considering the small shower space we have. There’s nothing worse than having an over-powering scent around you, it can almost become over whelming. But not in this case. The scent simply envelopes you gently and I did feel more relaxed afterwards.

I can’t wait to see what the others think of the products they had to try

“The new Liquid Sand nail lacquer – What Wizardry is This? – features OPI’s groundbreaking technology for a textured, matte finish infused with reflective sparkle,” adds Weiss-Fischmann. “This rich taupe hue was designed for James Franco’s character, the great Wizard of Oz, and is sure to make a bold statement this spring.”

With a mix of soft crème and warm glitter shades, the line is ideal for layering to create rich, complex looks.

Rating 9/10

I love the cooling feeling that it gave when you put it on, and even for a while afterwards it feels ‘cold’
I left it on for 15 minutes…strange for someone that doesn’t normally use skin care to have her face feeling tightish while it dried but at 42 I really do need to start looking after my skin more.
It washed off really easily at the end of the 15 minutes and left my skin feeling almost tingly. But it is smoother..definately smoother which is really nice
I think the only thing I would have liked was if I had a moisturiser to apply afterwards. It would have just completed the process as I did find it dried my skin a little
