3 Ways to Spoil Mom Naturally

I often talk about products for kids or the home, but what about mom? Are you looking for something special to put in her Easter basket this year? Here are 3 ways to spoil mom naturally!

MommyCon Tickets

MommyCon is the mecca of natural parenting. Sign her up for a day devoted to babywearing, breastfeeding, and cloth diapers. She’ll receive a gift bag and experience worth far more than the $40 price tag. You can even make her day extra special by adding guilt-free spending money for a MommyCon t-shirt or specialty baby wrap. Don’t forget to use the code INQMOM15 for $5 off any regular admission ticket. Plus, I’m giving you a chance to win 2 tickets to any MommyCon of your choice!

Moody Sisters Skincare

Sisters Jess and Whitney hand make their natural skin care line their home studio. They  are committed to using only natural, fresh and earth-derived ingredients, with select products that are organic and vegan. Their luxurious line is a great way to treat mom.

The weather wreaks havoc on my family’s skin every winter. The bitter cold makes for dry, cracked hands and lips. The dryness never seems to go away for my daughter, who deals with dry, itchy skin all year long if we aren’t diligent about using moisturizer. We were excited to try the Winter Best Sampler because the natural ingredients are safe for our entire family.

The Moody Sister’s Winter Best Sampler comes with the following items in a cute, reusable bag:

• Full-sized jar (4 oz) Dreamy Orange Dry Skin Cream
• Straight-Laced Vanilla Lip Balm
• Sample-sized ½ oz Face Cream
• Travel-size 2 oz Goat’s Milk and Oats Cleanser in Lavender
• Mini Soap Bar in Moody Mint Julep scent

I discovered that my skin loves handmade soap in France. A great handmade soap can keep sensitive, dry-prone skin soft and clear. The Moody Mini Soap Bar proved no exception, creating a refreshing experience every morning.

We were most excited to try the Dreamy Orange Dry Skin Cream, a thick, rich moisturizer. I had high hopes for the orange scent, but I would recommend going with unscented – the orange proved universally unpopular. The moisturizer itself is thick and soothing, leaving a smooth barrier against the elements.

Overall, I enjoyed using this sampler of high-quality, handmade products. I especially like how they were created by two sisters seeking safe, affordable solutions to their own skin care issues. The products also reflect the sister’s humorous side, with tongue-in cheek descriptions and honest talk about acne and dry skin.

The Moody Sisters prices can’t compete with your local drug store, but they do offer a high-end product for a reasonable price, especially consider the following:

• Moody SistersNatural Skincare Supports: Organic, Fair Trade, Non-GMO, Small Businesses, NO Animal Testing, Handcrafted in the USA.
• Their products Do Not Contain: Chemicals, dyes, fragrances, parabens, or sulfates.

Ecocentric Mom Box

Do you have a mom in your life who would love to have an eco-conscious box of goodies curated especially for her every other month? The Ecocentric Mom company does just this, sending subscribers a surprise box with the following:

• 5-9 hand selected products, gentle on your body and the earth
• Natural, sustainable, organic, and ethical products
• Mix of large sample sizes and full size products
• Shipped every-other-month
• Gift options available, shipped on demand
• Free shipping included
• Retail value of $24-$50+ per box

Ecocentric Mom sent me the February box to try, filled with eight products and one coupon. While I was skeptical that a sample box could be worth the subscription cost, I was pleasantly surprised. The box contained four items that really caught my attention, three of them full sized. The remaining items were of less interest, including an herbal supplement, bean snack, and reusable food pouch.

The Vapour Vernissage 5-Free Nail Lacquer in a stunning red is by far my favorite. This non-toxic, cruelty-free polish retails at $16 and something I would definitely buy again. Vapour polish goes on without drips, has a smooth finish, and dries quickly.

I also liked the Pura Essentials Pouch ($18 retail), made with PETA approved Vegan faux fabrics. The Natural Seal Liquid Bandage also intrigued me and I was excited to try it because I probably wouldn’t take the risk for a 1 fl oz bottle at $12.99. Lastly, even cloth diapering moms use disposable wipes sometimes, so I am looking forward to trying out the Bum Boosa Bamboo wet wipes.

You can spoil the mom in your life with a subscription ($24 every other month) or purchase a one, three, or six time delivery. Subscription options included Mom, Mom and Baby, or Pregnancy.
