“Mom, it smells like a tropical island in here! “Mom, it smells like a tropical island in here! It’s like a vacation” 🏝 ☀️ 

Anyone else's kids just want to spend the whole day in the bath? This squirt has been in the tub for over an hour with bathing suit and goggles! I guess if you leave them to it they will find their own fun!  And at least she is getting clean in there while she is at it! 

We knew she would love the @hellobello shampoo & body wash coconut scent! Just like a tropical getaway!

@HelloBello makes premium and affordable family care products designed to eliminate the choice many parents have to make – deciding what’s best for their kids and what’s best for their budget. Co-founded by Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard, the brand is built on the simple idea that all kids deserve the best, which is why they created products that give parents comfort about what they’re putting on to their child & bringing into their home. All products are carefully crafted with babies, parents & the planet in mind.

Sometimes it only takes a small shift to make a more nutrient-dense choice. ⠀
⠀
Here are some great swap out ideas from @justgo.smoothie : ⠀
⠀
🌱Switch from white rice to brown rice.⠀
🌱Replace sugary drinks with water, unsweetened tea, or coffee.⠀
🌱Instead of a big dollop of sour cream on your chili or baked potato, try plain Greek yogurt or better yet Plant-Based yogurts.⠀
🌱When adding toppings to pizza, tacos or sandwiches, think one more veggie instead of meat or cheese.⠀
🌱Snack on crunchy vegetables or nuts instead of chips.⠀
🌱Satisfy a sweet tooth with naturally sweet fruit instead of candy and cookies.⠀
⠀
Do you have a favourite swap-out swap-in healthy option to share ?⠀

Is it too early for spring cleaning? 🌷🌼🌻⠀
⠀
Sunny days like these make us just want everything to be sparkling clean and smelling good too! But we are not cool with being overloaded by harsh cleaning chemicals! ⠀
⠀
Thank goodness for @Sapadillasoap, the nice little eco-cleaners that do great things for you, your home, and your family. These smart formulations that use plant-based ingredients and essential oil blends leave your home sparkly clean and smelling wonderfully fresh. They are bursting with fresh & loaded with clean! ⠀
⠀
Now… do they have a formulation that loads the dishwasher and folds the laundry, hmmm? ⠀
⠀
We picked ours up at @londondrugs & here’s why we love them: ⠀
⠀
🌿100% Pure Essential Oil Blends⠀
🌿No fake fragrance or colour⠀
🌿Plant-Based, Biodegradable + Earth Friendly⠀
🌿Gorgeous scents of Sweet Lavender + Lime, Rosemary + Peppermint, Grapefruit + Bergamot that take you away to another, (better smelling) world! 
⠀
You can get a 15% coupon off your next purchase when you join their newsletter link in @sapadillasoap bio. ⠀
