A while back, I told you about the absolutely coolest water bottle I’d discovered from ThinkSport. Well, they’ve done it again with a new safe and healthy line of body care products that is perfect for the whole family! And I’m super happy that they sent us some to try so that we could tell you all about it!

If you’re like us, you have a space-hogging assortment of shampoos, conditioners, body washes and soaps for different members of the family. One is too floral for him, another to harsh for her, etc. Plus there’s the whole issue of ingredients. I’ve got bottles of stuff sitting around that I thought were natural or healthy only to discover that they irritate my skin or scalp anyway or just don’t live up to their claims! Have you ever read the label on some of the stuff you’ve been using??? In addition to the false promises made by many companies, there’s a large number of ingredients that are unhealthy and shouldn’t even be in products we use on our bodies! ThinkSport has solved all of this with their new line.

Don’t let the name fool you. I was concerned when I first heart about these products that the scent or strength would be too “sporty” for me but both the ThinkSport Shampoo and the Conditioner smell amazing and are gentle yet effective at the same time. I LOVE that the shampoo was designed to double as a body wash! I use it to shave my legs, and with my Clarisonic brush on my arms, elbows and knees to gently exfoliate those rough spots. The hubby started training for a marathon, and he commented recently on how the grapefruit scent is a nice pick-me-up after a long run.

In addition to being really nice hair and body products, it’s important to point out that all the ingredients are clearly listed on the bottle and are 100% safe. There are no parabens, PABA, phthalates or 1,4 dioxane…which are all things that you want to avoid according to the health experts from the Environmental Working Group that studies this stuff.

ThinkSport has even gone so far as to publish the EWG ratings for each ingredient, right on the bottle’s label! As you can see, every ingredient has a 0-1 hazard rating which is the BEST according to the EWG Skin Deep Database and rating scale for product safety. Try comparing your current shampoo or body wash ingredients and learn more about the Skin Deep Ratings here.

Compared with other similar quality natural shampoos I’ve seen around, ThinkSport has priced these pretty well at $12.99 for a 16 oz. bottle of shampoo/body wash or conditioner. I always tend to run out of conditioner first, but with the shampoo also doubling as a body wash, my bottles are staying about even which makes it easier for restocking. They also make a baby shampoo and an after sun/sport body lotion. You can find out more and browse everything at the ThinkSport online store.

I received the products mentioned so that I could use them and let you know what I think. All opinions are 100% my own and I was not told what to say. 

Pledge to Help Stop Puppy Mills—It Starts With YOU!

Pet stores that care about puppies don’t sell them. That’s because the majority of pet stores that sell puppies carry dogs from cruel and inhumane puppy mills. Puppy mills are like dog-making factories with the mother dogs spending their entire lives in cramped cages or kennels with little or no personal attention or quality of life. When the mother and father dogs can no longer breed, they are discarded or killed. Consumers who purchase puppies from pet stores or over the Internet without seeing a breeder’s home firsthand are often unknowingly supporting this cruel industry.

Help Stop Puppy Mills

Help stop this cycle of cruelty simply by choosing to adopt your next pet from a shelter or rescue. And that’s not all—you can do even more by refusing to buy pet supplies from any store or website that sells puppies. Where you spend your dollars makes a difference. Make a statement when you shop!

Summer Fun with Tommy Bahama and PetSmart!

Woohoo! Daisy and I love everything tropical…luckily we live in Florida and have palm trees, beaches and even pink flamingos to enjoy year round! And since PetSmart invited us to sample their exclusive new Tommy Bahama collection, it’s really turning into tropical pet paradise around here!

Daisy enjoying Tommy Bahama for pets

Daisy got so laid back enjoying her island-style living that I couldn’t even get her to look at the camera and say Aloha, so I’ll just have to tell you a little bit about the collection myself!

First off, we want you to know that Five Percent of the sales from items in this line go to PetSmart Charities to benefit grant recipients and adoption partners to save homeless pets. We love that, since every pet deserves to live the good life, too!

The Tommy Bahama pet collection at PetSmart includes beds, toys, and tropical apparel all designed to bring the island lifestyle to you and your dog wherever you live!

In addition to cool colors and patterns, the collections is made with great attention to detail, just as you’d expect from Tommy Bahama. The dog bed is soft and squishy and has a no-skid backing which is great if you’ve got hardwood flooring rather than carpet. It’s the perfect bed for chilling and relaxing island-style but maybe not quite firm enough for dogs with special orthopedic needs. You can see that Daisy had NO problem falling right asleep in the middle of our photo shoot!

Before she did though, she had a ball playing with the fun Pink Flamingo and the Plush Bungee Tennis Ball Toy…both incorporate the signature style floral patterns Tommy Bahama is known for. I didn’t notice at first, but check out how this toy even matches our dining room rug!

We love the unique tropical flavor of this Tommy Bahama collection and can’t wait to pick up a few more items as gifts. You can check out the full range of tees, dresses, beds and toys at PetSmart.com and give your pet a piece of paradise, too!
