Smells Good

annuinSo, over the months I've been replacing various household chemicals and personal products with earth/body friendlier versions as the other versions have run out, and as such a few reviews/recommendations.
Burt's Bees Vitamin E Body & Bath Oil with Sweet Almond Oil and Lemon Oil
I love lemon scents, I like lemon desserts and foods etc. It really is one of my favourite smells. This body oil I got as part of my two-pronged exterior approach to avoiding or minimising stretchmarks. If you don't mind rubbing oil onto your body, then this works well.
Alba's Hawaiian Kukui Nut Body Butter
The second prong of the belly care approach, a yummy smelling body butter. It smells a lot like the Body Shop's Nut Butter actually, but it was cheaper and Whole Foods is easier to get to than the Body Shop, and I believe that the Alba version has less chemicals and is more natural and organic. Another of those products that smells good enough to eat.
Nature's Gate Handsoap
From their Organics line, the Lemongrass and Clary Sage smells divine. I want to wash my hands ridiculously often because of the way that stuff smells, yummy. 100% vegan too. I bought this particular scent because it was on sale at Whole Foods, even though the other fragrances in the same handsoap line weren't. It certainly hasn't let me down choice wise, and I don't think that stocking up on 4 bottles was nearly enough :P
Lemon Mate Mist Air Freshener & Fragrance
Who knew air/toilet freshener could smell this good. Plus, all it is is natural lemon oils and lemon essence in a non-aerosol mist cannister. None of the gazillion chemicals that are usually in air fresheners, and you don't feel like you're choking after using it. There are also lime and orange versions that I will eventually try. And a tiny little bit of this stuff goes a really long way, and it's way more effective at actually getting rid of bad smells, rather than what ends up happening with most air fresheners, which just seem to add another layer on top of the unpleasant smell you were trying to get rid of in the first place.
