From the UK, comes Hemp Garden , a company known for their use of hemp in their personal hygiene products. ... I don’t have much hair left, as genetics have caught up with me, however, I do have enough to use shampoo. ... Hemp-based shampoos cost more money compared to traditional shampoos, but you, again, get what you pay for.

If I had to choose between last year’s camping trips bug spray of choice, All Terrain Bug Spray, and Bugger Off by aS, I’d go with All Terrain. ... Some fun and useful features include; the pocket at the foot that lets fresh air in all the time, unless you close it of course; the mummy/hood area and the hanging straps for both drying it out and packing it tightly. ... In fact, the candles are positioned so they are actually in a holder mounted on a spring so when the candle burns down, it moves up and appears to be a the top of the lantern the entire time.

Not much else to say about this shampoo bar, but Serpentine seems like a cool, DIY company and [...]

australian Scent’s mission is to provide natural alternatives to personal hygiene products by not using harmful chemicals and other eco-friendly practices in their line of product. ... The package states it has cocoa butter, turmeric, honey and paprika and some added scents from orange, nutmeg, lemon and clove. I enjoyed the results of the body bar, but overall, the scent was not my thing and certainly not Lala’s cup of tea either.

I love the smell of the Kahlua in the morning. The shampoo bar is dark brown and accented with the aroma of coffee and vanilla. It makes my hair feels soft and smell nice while showering.

Barrier Reef soap from australian Scent (aS) comes packaged in what seems to be a recycled cardboard box. The scent smells like the ocean.  The main ingredients are seaweed, green tea & lemon balm but there is much more that makes up this wonderful aroma.  When applied to the skin the soap lathered up and became foamy which is a sign of a good soap.

So naturally when I was asked to review LifeTree Botanicals Smooth Peppermint Natural Soap, I was more than happy to do so.
