Being the rough and tumble boy that he is, Eben gets a lot of cuts, scratches and scraps. He is also prone to eczema on his face and arms. This leaves his skin looking less than fabulous and he is not a fan of having lotions or creams rubbed on his face or body and usually yells that it burns and runs away to wipe it off.
We received a package from Tilvee {Eco Ethical Skin Care} that contained a Kid’s Mandarin Remedy Balm {for Eben} and an Antioxidant Facial Bar {for myself}. I was very excited to try the Kid’s Mandarin Remedy Balm on Eben since he had recently scraped his shoulder at the pool and burned his arm on a lantern while we were camping. {Boys.} He also had a small patch of eczema on his cheek. After his bath, I rubbed the balm into all three areas, first off, no yelling…Eben actually giggled and told me I was tickling him. {Much better.} The eczema on his cheek was gone in the morning and the shoulder scrap, being the older wound of the two looked a lot better, the burn on his arm was slightly smaller and the redness was gone.
Jayson loved the Mandarin Remedy Balm as well, he gets horribly dry, cracked hands and used the balm, even after I told him it was for Eben only. {Men.} He loved it and wanted it for himself, he said his hands felt a lot better the next day and they did look clearer than they have been in weeks.
I used the Antioxidant Facial Bar for 3 weeks and love that it doesn’t have an overpowering scent and the bar lasts FOREVER. I have been using it for 2 weeks and I would say, it should last a couple more and I didn’t have any new breakouts or dryness while using it. Also, it is a steal right now at only $7.19.

Lately I have been thinking that it would be nice for Jayson and I to plan a quiet afternoon for the two of us. I was thinking that it would be lovely to take a drive to the countryside or mountainside and have a fabulous picnic lunch. Wouldn’t it be nice to lay out a large Eco friendly picnic blanket in a meadow and enjoy a quiet lunch together in nature? I am thinking Cibatta bread with olive oil, fresh tomatoes and basil, fresh fruit, a lovely salad and a bottle of Pinot Grigio. I would love to pack this all up in a wonderful Eco friendly picnic basket and spend the afternoon chatting, reminiscing and laughing in the breeze.
