Raw Organic Unfiltered Shea Butter

Having a large family we have lots of skin to take care of so we are continually buying different products for our skin. Most of the time when I buy lotion, I actually look for it to have Shea Butter as an ingredient. My favorite before this was lotion with oatmeal, or with the scent of baby powder. 

Before this review I had never seen  Raw Organic Unfiltered Shea Butter and was even asked by the representative if I was ready for it to be different then what you see in the stores. I said sure, because how bad could it be. No bad at all, actually quite wonderful. 

Raw Organic Unfiltered Shea Butter can be used for skin, hair or as an ingredient in homemade products such as soaps, and conditioners. 


The bag in the picture above looks like it may be fabric but in fact is is a thick paper bag  with a protective aluminum type lining. The bag has a zip lock closure to keep your  Raw Organic Unfiltered Shea Butter fresh. 



Inside this bag there is another plastic bag which holds your Raw Organic Unfiltered Shea Butter which also has a zip lock closure. This company really wants to make sure their product gets to you as fresh as possible. 

When we opened the plastic bag the first thing we smelled is the  Raw Organic Unfiltered Shea Butter which smells a bit nutty to me. The texture because mine was solid was like sand when we took pieces of it off but quickly softened into our hands.

I use as many experiences as I can to educate my daughters so they were the first to try it. My 11 year old put some on her dry knees, and my 6 year old put some on her fathers knees, and then what was left over in her hands she rubbed in her hair. 

My 6 year old keeps asking me if she can play with it so I guess I will have to find a hiding place for it, or else she will have it all over her body and any other willing unsuspecting object or person.

Ecosak Nut Milk Bag Review



Product Description

Ecosaks are Premium Custom-Made Mesh Bags that are specifically designed for making the Richest and Creamest Nut Milks. Guaranteed. 

Traditional Cheese Cloths Fall Apart and Cost Too Much To Replace. Today, there's a New Bag.

No Ordinary Nut Milk Bag
One look and feel of an Ecosak and you know it’s no ordinary nut milk bag. It feels super soft on the hands but just one pull or tug anywhere on this bag and you know it is tough enough to withstand the most extreme stresses.  Now, making large batches of nut milk is quick, easy and fun.

Rest Assured
Ecosaks are custom made mesh bags that are specifically designed for making nut milk bags knowing they will be used in food preparations like soaking, straining, juicing and sprouting among many other uses.  

FDA Certified Food-Grade Mesh 
that is BPA Free and Non-Porous and will not harbor odors or bacteria like other materials making it the safer and greener choice in that it does not require harsh chemicals for cleaning or need to be continually replaced.


MarksvilleandMe reviews Ecosak Nut Milk Bag

Before trying out the Ecosak Nut Milk Bag, I had never heard of a nut bag before, but I had heard of cheese cloth, and the Ecosak Nut Milk Bag said it was easier to use then cheese cloth, and could be reused over and over again. Sounds both Economical, and Eco conscious to me. 

All the rage today about Greek yogurt if only people knew how easy it is to make yogurt or Greek yogurt they would make their own too. I had heard of almond milk before, but had no idea you can pretty much make it from any kind of nut. This intrigued me so I am going to be doing another blog about our families first time making nut milk. 

OK back to this Ecosak Nut Milk Bag, it was much bigger then I thought it would be about the size of 8 by 11 piece of paper but round in shape rather then rectangular. The Ecosak feels satiny, rather then stiff like I thought it would be and has a draw string top. 



Right now for a limited time you also get a free Ebook filled with recipes and ideas to use your Ecosak Nut Milk Bag on. I found a few recipes I want to use because once you are done making your nut milk you save the pulp and can mix it into other recipes such as cookies. No waste, very economical. Now I know why they call it the Ecosak Nut Milk Bag. 

You can buy yours at Amazon.

MarksvilleandMe reviews Natural Sleep X - The All-in-

One Natural Sleep Aid

Usually I don't have a hard time falling to sleep but it does happen from time to time and in the past I have just either taken a bath, read a book, watched a movie, cleaned house, or just tossed and turned trying to get to sleep.

I do have a daughter though that since she was a baby would be up all night until the wee hours of the morning, and then be up bright and early and take no naps. She still does this at the age of 11. She doesn't make messes so we kind of just let it go. 

My husband and I kept hearing about Melatonin and finally asked our Dr. if it would be a safe option to try with our daughter. He had us start out with a small dose  and told us to try it for a couple of weeks. Most people don't realize this is not meant to be taken every day it is just supposed to be taken long enough to reset your bodies sleep schedule. 

So here I am with this bottle of Natural Sleep X - The All-in-One Natural Sleep Aid waiting for a night where I can't get to sleep. Well lets just say that I have been in pain since I got it and have not been able to try it out first hand, because by the end of the day I am so tired i go right to sleep, although my husband says every time I roll over I cry out in pain. Another reason is that I was already taking pain medication and a muscle relaxer did not want to add any thing else to mix. 

Since I didn't actually take it I can't give it a bad or good review but what I can say about Natural Sleep X - The All-in-One Natural Sleep Aid is that is made in the USA, I do plan to use this evening since I haven't taken any pain medication today, and hope to report back that it did a good job. Of course I am not sure it is something that takes a while to work or something that works right away so give me about two weeks to put updates below on how it is working. 

You can purchase Natural Sleep X - The All-in-One Natural Sleep Aid on Amazon. The regular price is 35.95 but right now you can get it for 18.95. Remember prices are subject to change.
