Trillium *scent* me their Clementine and Clove Collection. There is not a better scent for this time of year out on the market. It is slightly warming, fresh and with a sweet & spicy kick. It energizing with the clementine and the clove, well clove is an aphrodisiac. So yes, it is quite sexy. The set included:
Botanical Body Soap
Organic Shea Butter
Organic Body Oil
Organic Body Polish
My favorite item? of course the Body Polish. It didn’t leave me too oily or greasy, yet left my skin so silky smooth! I actually used it, then applied just a tad more of the Body Oil over it and went to watch movies the first day I had it! I was as smooth as a babies bum for the longest time! I have been using the Shea Butter on my feet since it has the awesome warming effect. It is slight, but it helps take the chill out before I layer them up with socks!
Trillium truly specializes in organic bath products for Mom & Baby.
Their OGmama’s line includes:
Organic Belly Polish which helps to nurture and aid stretching skin.
Organic Moisture Oil, light and fast absorbing, healing for all skin types.
Organic Gentle Soap, just a simple, cleansing soap gel that cleans with out stripping.
Organic Belly Butter which is perfect for all areas of expanding skin, plus knees, elbows, cuticles and anywhere else you might need it!
Trillium carries two organic bath lines for babies. OGbaby’s Really Fragrance Free and OGbaby’s Breathe Free Tea Tree.
Breathe Free Tea Tree
I was able to try out the OGbaby BFTT is it ever so scented with just the right amount of Tea Tree. Enough to enjoy it and breathe deeply, but not so much to overpower the littlest of noses. The OGbaby’s BFTT carries an Organic Gentle Soap and an Organic Chest Rub.
OGbaby Really Fragrance Free Barrier Balm
The OGbaby RFF line does contain a very slight amount of essential oils, but no fragrance. NONE.
The OGbaby line includes:
Organic Gentle Soap which doubles as a baby shampoo.
Organic Moisture Oil with chamomile, calendula and lavender.
And Organic Barrier Balm, a zinc free, castor oil formulation to prevent diaper rash.
Trillium doesn’t even stop there. They have products for acne, eczema and skin care tips for anyone that needs a little steering in the right direction!
And Trillium would like to give one of you a chance to try their line out! They are offering one Prissy Green reader:

California Baby, Helps Adults and Babies Sleep! Review and Information
Getting at least 10 hours of sleep is extremely important in order for kids’ bodies and brains to restore lost energy. Not only can a lack of sleep leave kids unable to think clearly make it difficult to follow directions, but it can also negatively affect their growth and immune systems. Thankfully, Jessica Iclisoy, founder of California Baby, has come up with a few simple (All natural) Calming Bedtime Strategies to help calm your little ones before bedtime:
Calming Foods – Certain pre-bedtime snacks, such as a small bowl of plain yogurt, can help calm and soothe little ones.
The culturing process makes yogurt easier to digest than milk, but be sure to stay away from fruit flavors as the added sugar may cancel out the calming effect
Aromatherapy – Adding calming scents to a warm bubble bath before bedtime can help the body and mind unwind.
Try any one of the California Baby Aromatherapy Bubble Baths
Massage – Gently massaging children of all ages while they lie in bed can help set the stage for a full night’s sleep.
Try massaging gentle strokes with the California Baby Massage Oils
I personally have used the Calming Massage Oil. And currently use it. Rubbing it along my neck, temples and shoulders. Great to give myself a slight massage when I am feeling pressure and stress. This article may be geared towards little ones, but California Baby is one of my favorite lines and one of the first ones I ever started using!
