The Honest Co.

I honestly love Honest!   This love affair started over a year ago when I picked up a magazine with Jessica Alba on the cover.  In the feature, Jessica talked about raising her two daughters, her philosophy on keeping life healthy and clean, her new company, The Honest Co., and her views on nutrition.  Also included was a reference to Jessica's upcoming book, The Honest Life:  Living Naturally and True to You.   I immediately pre-ordered the Kindle version and gave a few copies as gifts to family and friends.  I loved the book so much that I also bought the paperback version for easier reference on the vast variety of subjects Jessica covers in it.  If you are still cleaning with mainstream cleaning products, don't believe organic foods are better for you, and using regular cosmetics, please do yourself a favor and check out Jessica's book.

About five minutes after I got the book, I signed up for a trial product shipment from honest.com.  I then became a regular cleaning "bundle" subscriber.   My bundle arrives every 8 weeks and I can adjust the date of shipment and the contents as the date of regularly scheduled shipment gets closer.  I've spent years hunting for natural products and a lot of them, unfortunately, were either too pricey, didn't work well, weren't pretty, or all of the above.  The Honest Co. products suffer from none of that.  They are very reasonably priced, easy to look at, and they get the job done!  I have an allergy to house dust, the kids can't handle the regular detergent, and none of us do well with the chemical cocktail known as "fragrance," which is liberally added to pretty much all mainstream products.   The kids' doctor also recommended at several visits that we use only natural cleaners, since the stuff you spray in the house, stays in your house and can affect breathing.   Using clean products is very, very important to me.  Of course, I also care about the environment and these products are environmentally friendly as well.  All around winners.  The Honest Co. also has the coolest diapers in cute patterns (my year-old nephew is rocking those now) and training pants (Alexis was a recent fan for night time).

My last bundle:  4 in 1 laundry pods (LOVE!), rinse aid, light mandarin foam soap, dish soap, glass + window cleaner -- all ROCK STARS!

The laundry pods go really well with the oxy boost for when the kids (ahem, husband) decide to spill strawberry sauce on their clothes.

These were some extras I ordered to add to my regular bundle:  scrubber sponge and dishwasher pods (just got the pods yesterday and will start using them tomorrow)

And I am not opposed to a bit of child labor in my house.   Emily loves putting the Honest multi-surface cleaner to action.  She begs me to let her use it.  Honest.

Thank you, Jessica and The Honest Co.!
