Jack n Jill - Organic Toothpaste

I have always been concerned about the unnecessary additives in our hygiene products and the affects they have on our bodies as well as our children's precious bodies.

My family used a 'chemical safe' toothpaste from an American company called Neways. It was a great product but was quite expensive, and always cost a whopping $14 for postage. I thought there had to be a better Australian product on the market!

I follow a blog by a wonderful lady called Lori who had recommended an Australian made and owned natural toothpaste, called Jack n' Jill. I jumped onto the website to check it out, and after seeing the generous price of the product I purchased a few tubes to try.







Let me tell you... I LOVE IT! And so do my children.

The cutely packaged toothpaste contains organic flavours with organic calendula.

I have the RASPBERRY and STRAWBERRY flavours...and they are YUM! Makes brushing your teeth a treat! It also comes in BANANA, BLUEBERRY and BLACKCURRANT.

The cost of the 50g tubes are just $5.85, and if you sign up to their newsletter you get 15% of your first order. BARGAIN!!

Ingredients:
Silica, Vegetable Glycerin, Xylitol, Certified Organic Calendula Officinalis Extract, Xanthan Gum, Certified Organic Natural Flavour (Raspberry, Banana, Blueberry, Blackcurrant, Strawberry), Purified Water.

Tomato: Amazing natural blackhead remover

I have always struggled with blackheads. I have quite large poors which get blocked easily from wearing makeup everyday.

Yes, I could go and buy expensive products that are full of chemicals and additives with names I dont dare to try and pronounce, but I prefer to try natural products first. Why put harsh chemicals on your face when you could use something out of your fridge...and save you a pretty penny too!

This is where one of our favourite summer vegetables come in... TOMATO!






















Tomatos are amazing at removing blackheads and oil. Its citric acid acts like a natural facial treatment.

Its simple as 1, 2, 3!

1 - Cut/peel a tomato
2 - Rub the juices on your face and leave for 15 minutes - feel the tingle!!
3 - Rinse!

Try it, what do you have to lose! Just one tomato....
