Seventh Generation Free & Clear Baby Wipes


I may not be a mother yet (well, maybe a fur-mom to two wonderful dogs), but I do know the importance of baby wipes due to my many years working in childcare, specifically with infants. A good wipe comes in handy when having to clean an icky, crusty nose, when there is a food spill, or even the unfortunate blowouts. Most importantly though, you want sturdy wipes for the everyday and sometimes hourly diapers that you encounter.


Seventh Generation Free & Clear Baby wipes gives you the comfort and transparency that you need when taking care of your most precious gift. Clearly labeled and descriptive ingredients give you peace of mind when caring for your child. What’s great about Seventh Generation, unlike other major brands, is that it does not contain Phenoxyethanol (a chemical compound that can be an irritant to the skin). With that said, the wipes do not contain other harmful ingredients such as alcohol, phthalates, fragrances, dyes, lotions and parabens.



The wipes are nicely sized, easy to hold and sturdy enough for any messy situation, while remaining gentle on baby’s skin. You may find other beneficial uses if you’re in a pinch, for instance using the wipe as makeup remover, cleaning up the counter or a spill when out of the house. What’s more is that these wipes are made with 70% less plastic than original wipes, made possible by the use of plant materials. So not only are they good for your baby, but our environment as well.


Thank you Seventh Generation & Generation Good

I received a sample size of Seventh Generation Free & Clear Baby Wipes as part of their Generation Good community www.generationgood.net

Let's talk, Period. Seventh Generation Accurate Labeling #ComeCean

Let’s talk, Period.
Growing up there was little talk or concern over my period. My mother wasn’t around much, and of course I was never comfortable speaking about it with my father. As long as I got what I needed (tampons and pads) there was nothing left to discuss. But things have changed over time, we need to be more forthright about what feminine products are made of. It’s very important for all women to know what ingredients they are putting into their body.
Seventh Generation Free & Clear Organic Cotton Tampons
An average woman in her lifetime will use 16,000 tampons. Currently there is no federal law that requires manufacturers to disclose ingredients in their tampons or pads. Protecting the right to know is important for all women in our lives. What’s the big deal? Check out what Seventh Generation has to say:

“Vaginal tissue is very sensitive, which means we should be extra careful about what’s coming into contact with it. The walls of the vagina are filled with numerous blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, which allows for direct transfer of chemicals in to the circulatory system. In fact, there is considerable interest in vaginal drug delivery systems because the vagina is such an effective site to transfer drugs directly into the blood without being metabolized first.

One study found that a vaginally applied dose of estradiol (an estrogen proxy) resulted in systemic estradiol levels in the body 10 to 80 times greater compared to the same dose given orally. So, you should really know what the heck is in the products you use around the vagina.

Right now, some companies tell you a little bit about what’s in their products. While tampon and pad manufacturers aren’t required to disclose ingredients, many do include some basic information on their packages about the ingredients — unless they use fragrance. A ‘fragrance’ in a product can be made up of 50-200 different ingredients, many for which health data simply doesn’t exist. This black box means that you could be exposing your body to fragrance ingredients without even knowing it.”

Some conscious companies are already doing what’s right for consumers by choosing to disclose which ingredients are in their products.

Seventh Generation made strides in advocating for transparency industry-wide by co-sponsoring a rally. On May 23, they joined with Women’s Voices for the Earth to tell Congress that we have the right to know what’s in the products we use so intimately. Congress can do their part by enacting a very simple, common-sense law proposed by Representative Grace Meng called the Menstrual Products Right to Know Act.


It’s past time that feminine care got the attention it deserves! #comeclean


Take Action!

Seventh Generation Free & Clear Baby Sample Kit

Salutations Cuppies,

Around the same time I received three samples of Free & Clear laundry detergent, I also received a fun little baby sample kit from Seventh Generation to give my honest opinion.

In my life I have pursued a career and education with children for six years plus I have learned a lot about the products that mothers and caregivers alike care about for their little ones. Learning more about Seventh Generation, I am excited to pass this information along and also keep in mind for when I am ready to start a family of my own.


The packaging of each of the three products I received are incredibly adorable and would definitely be something that would catch my eye. Although the packaging is adorable, it’s so much more than that. I was glad to learn about how each product is made, and how they not only keep your baby in mind, but also the parents and the environment.





The Free & Clear diaper is made for a baby’s sensitive skin, ultra-absorbent and contains zero percent lotions or fragrances. I received two pairs of size 1 diapers, and out the bag they are noticeably soft inside and out. I like the fact that the quilted liner inside expands with more surface area to catch everything. The liner is evidently well thought out with a quilted design and softer material for newborns up to size 2, and is also made with unbleached cotton. The tabs are large enough and easy to use. The best feature, in my opinion, is that each diaper is made with sustainable sourced materials (wood fluff pulp) meaning it’s natural, renewable and biodegradable. Thinking about how many diapers get dumped into a landfills in a year this is a step in the right direction to reduce waste.









I pleasantly surprised that the texture was silky smooth and great for a baby’s sensitive skin, and it spreads very easily. Just using a small dime size goes a long way and instantly my hand felt cool, hydrated and soft to touch. There is a very faint scent of coconut from the organic coconut oil. It’s made from sustainable ingredients that are plant-based so it’s great it contains NO sulfates, phthalates, parabens, formaldehyde donors, mineral oil or petrolatum. Overall, a lightweight, lightly scented moisturizer from a trusted brand.





I can’t even count how many wipes I have used in a day at the daycare, so I know the importance of how a good wipe handles any situation, from an unfortunate blowout to an icky nose. These wipes are labeled fragrance free and I truly don’t smell anything. I think it is unnecessary for wipes to have a fragrance anyways because it just adds useless chemicals. These are made for sensitive skin like most products from Seventh Generation. It’s very important to think about the ingredients because every time you wipe you are essentially applying it directly onto your baby’s delicate skin. What’s great about Seventh Generation, unlike other major brands, is that it does not contain Phenoxyethanol (a chemical compound that can be an irritant to the skin). With that said, it also removes other harmful chemicals such as alcohol and parabens. Out of the packaging the wipes are definitely thicker than most I have used, but I love the fact that you are able to clean up more with a single wipe and still have the softness factor.




Overall, I'm very satisfied and thankful try out the sample pack I received from Generation Good. It’s a brand that I now trust and will turn to when I do have little bundles of my own someday. I love the transparency and the effort Seventh Generation gives to its products, consumers and production of the materials with sustainability and safeness in mind.

Seventh Generation Free & Clear Laundry Detergent



Happy Holiday's cuppies!!


I was fortunate enough to try Seventh Generation Free & Clear laundry detergent for free in 3 small fun packages for my honest review.

I love that Seventh Generation stands behind it's products that are made better not only for us as consumers, but for the environment overall. The Free & Clear detergent is all natural that contains no dyes, optical brighteners or synthetic fragrances. It's not only great for people with sensitivities, but for anyone really. All the ingredients are listed on the bottle (even the sample pack) as to inform the consumers what's in their detergent is safe. #comeclean

The ingredients are plant-based and USDA Certified 97%. To be honest I was a little skeptical about being all plant-based and being able to clean sufficiently, but I was pleasantly surprised after using the samples through different loads (types) of laundry. I decided to try the samples on colors, darks and whites to see if I would notice a difference in any load.

The sample size was just the right amount for a medium/large load of laundry. There is no scent to the product and the liquid detergent is clear in color. It's made for HE washer like ours, but will work just as well for regular washers.

I am impressed with the results from all 3 loads of laundry. There was a fresh neutral scent (not perfume) before loading into the dryer and I'm happy to say all my clothes came out clean and soft.  It's definitely a brand I will be switching over with trusted natural ingredients, a honest company and to help out the environment in the long run.
