Kiss My Face Peace Soap - 100% Natural All Purpose Castile Soap

If you have some spring cleaning to do, why go out and buy a ton of products for the various jobs. Clean head to toe, ceiling to floor, and snout to tail with this all purpose castile soap by Kiss My Face. Here are just a few of the over 100 ways you can use this 100% natural concentrated liquid:

• Shampoo
• Body wash
• Dog bath
• Veggies
• Counter tops
• Dishes
• Laundry
• Walls
• Floors

Kiss My Face Peace Soap is available in four different scents, and three sizes. The scents are Lavender Mandarin, Grassy Mint, Lemongrass Clary Sage, and Pomegranate Acai. The sizes are a travel size 3.4oz for $2.99, a 17oz bottle for $9.99, or the best value 34oz for $15.99.

I love the fact that these are 100% natural, and you can use them on just about anything. I hate getting ripped off by buying a floor cleaner, a kitchen cleaner, and a bathroom cleaner. Like really?? What’s the difference? Then you are inhaling all those bad chemicals. No bueno. Have YOU ever used an all purpose castille soap?

A portion of each Peace Soap sale goes to the organization Seeds of Peace: Founded in 1993 by journalist John Wallach, Seeds of Peace is dedicated to empowering young leaders from regions of conflict with the leadership skills required to advance reconciliation and coexistence. Find out more HERE

Freedom Foamer has uplifting and refreshing scents of lemon, lime and grapefruit oils. It will sell for $5.95 and 100% of Proceeds will support Freedom to Marry.

…and any other store carrying the Soda OBJECT shoes.

The FIENDS are always on the look out for a good bargain.. but never when it comes to compromising integrity. What brand in their right mind would knockoff a company that with every sale, gives a child in need a new pair of shoes??

The Soda OBJECT shoe comes in many different colors and sells for around $35.

TOMS classics are a mere $9 more and, with every purchase, a child in need gets a new pair of shoes.

One for One. Purchasing and supporting the Soda OBJECT shoe is robbing children in need.

If I see you wearing the Soda OBJECT shoes, I just might rob YOU.

Just in time for Mother’s Day, TOMS will be releasing these limited edition TOMS Loves MOMS classics. If you are interested, get on the notification list HERE

I’m a MOM, and while I think the TOMS Loves MOMS shoe is adorable, I still prefer the cordones style. I recently treated myself to the new Grey Chambray cordones (above) for spring/summer. I got my first pair of cordones over a year ago and they have been steady on my feet since. Great comfort, quality and such a great cause.. definitely my dream shoe.

“With every pair you purchase, TOMS will give a pair of new shoes to a child in need. One for One.“

On the year that marks the Brand’s 50th anniversary, COVERGIRL Clean introduces limited edition Clean pressed powder compacts, available in African-inspired prints. Through COVERGIRL’s partnership with Children’s Safe Drinking Water, each limited edition Clean compact purchased provides a week’s worth of clean drinking water for a child in Africa, for a donation of up to $50,000.

COVERGIRL Limited Edition Clean Compacts are available now at most retailers until supplies last.
