Soft, Healthy Skin For You and Baby with Lavanila! (AND A Giveaway!)

From l-r: The Healthy Baby Butter, The Healthy Body Butter (in Vanilla Grapefruit), and The Healthy Baby Block (SPF 40)

Lavanila has done it for me again! I'm almost as obsessed with body butters as I am with oils, and I'm already a fan of the intoxicating variations of vanilla they use in the entire line. So their Healthy Body Butter is a no brainer!

So... Don't tell my hubby (he sort of despises them), but I occasionally keep up with the Kardashians (don't judge me). So I happened to catch one of the early episodes of the latest incarnation of the family's myriad of "reality" TV shows, Kourtney and Kim Take Miami (and in the name of full disclosure, when I say "happened to catch" what I really mean is covertly recorded the episodes so that could watch them once the hubby was out of the house and the lil bits were napping), where we discovered that Kourtney was suffering from a bit of a body odor issue. Apparently she abstains from anti-perspirants and deodorants while breastfeeding so that her body stays chemical free. Now as a mother of 3, who has spent 5 total years of my life breastfeeding, and thus staying free from things deemed harmful for my girls (it had actually become such a way of life for me, that even now that I've stopped, I have to remind myself that it's okay to take certain medications when I'm feeling ill), I totally understand sacrificing for the benefit of your children. But I know well enough that there is a better alternative to funk...
