The Honest Co. Baby Products: Ultra Calming Dreamy Lavender Review


  • Disclaimer
I want to say, these are my own opinions on this product review. I am not being paid to discuss these products in a positive manner. If I were, I would let you know up front. I do always say, even for common items, such as body wash, shampoos, and conditioners, and lotions, to always do your own research before buying or using a product and taking advice from online.

  •  Sensitive Skin
I put lotion on my children's skin, to help moisturize and prevent it from becoming dry and cracked. However, my daughter almost always says it burns or it's itchy, and immediately goes to wipe her skin, and wipes it off. At first, I didn't know if this was just avoiding bedtime antics, you know the "I'm thirsty" and "I have to go potty" when it's time to go to bed or really sensitive skin. Then her younger brother started to say the same things.

We have gradually begun switching to natural products, for the past 3 years when we first learned more about the chemicals present in our everyday products and environment. My biggest hang up is natural products can be so expensive and often leading us to buy what we can afford, products such as Vaseline, St. Ives, Jergens, and some that say sensitive or mild that really aren't, such as the supposed mild Cetaphil brand. This time I had a little more money and tried Jessica Alba's The Honest Company Baby products for the first time. (I have tried other natural baby soap and lotions that I like Burt's Bees, Shea Moisture, and Mommy's Bliss).

When it came time to use the product, my child was already shrieking away and expecting the lotion to make her itchy. How sad! And I prepared myself a little bit to hear her say, "Mom, it makes me itchy. Take it off". This time both kids said It felt fine. The next day we had a short discussion about why this other lotion felt better. I said we are blessed to live in a first world country and we have a lot of products to choose from. However, I said, "Not all of the products we have to choose from are good. Wouldn't it be nice if every person cared about the product that they made and only used the most natural ingredients?"

  • Bed Time Routine
We printed new bedtime routines charts for our older children that we found online and had them laminated. They are currently hanging on our fridge. We are incorporating a warm bath with The Honest Company Ultra Calming Dreamy Lavender Body Wash & Shampoo, followed by drying and applying The Honest Company Ultra Calming Dreamy Lavender lotion before putting on Pajamas. For my baby, I use the same two things I listed for my older children and I also use The Honest Company Ultra Calming Lavender Conditioner for his hair. (With my older kids, I do use different shampoos and conditioners). I've noticed since adding a warm bath and massage with lotion consistently to our children's bedtime routine, our children are sleeping better and going to sleep faster at night.

  • Scent
Also, the scent of Lavender is known to have a calming effect and it definitely seems to be working. I also like the way it smells. In my opinion, it is not an offensive smell or an over powering and strong smell. I am pretty impressed with this product so far that I have been using nonstop for the past 3 days on my children and would absolutely buy this again and definitely in this scent. I do know there are other scents.

  • Buying
I purchased this product from my local Target. I found it in the section of all the more natural baby products, such as Babyganics, Shea Moisture, Burt's Bees, and the mixed opinion California Baby. My only con is the cost of the more natural baby products. However, its worth it to see my kids doing well with it and there is no harm in trying a new product, right? The worst that can happen is, it's not the product for you.

Clear Blue Plus Pregnancy Test (Blue Dye)

Clear Blue Plus Pregnancy Test  with Blue Dye (+ / - ) This is what a negative looks like: Side Note: Blue dyes are often said to more frequently give false positives than pink dye. Some online boards that will tweak (alter) a pregnancy test photo to help individuals identify if the test is a faint positive or indeed negative, often will not do blue dyes.

Frida Mom for Post Laparoscopy Care

  My Frida Mom Basket for Post-Laparoscopy Care. Why I Love the Frida Mom Line (Even Beyond Motherhood) One of the things I’ve really come to appreciate is how versatile the Frida Mom line is—not just for new moms, but for anyone recovering from abdominal surgeries, such as laparoscopies for endometriosis. After surgery, comfort and gentle care are everything. That’s where the C-section recovery underwear comes in. Even if you haven’t had a baby, the design makes sense—when you have incisions on your abdomen, you need something soft, high-waisted, and non-restrictive. These disposable underwears are a lifesaver compared to standard disposable Depends. The big difference? You can build your own pad system . Start with the underwear. Add a menstrual pad. Layer on a witch hazel perineal liner, perineal cream, or both. Attach an optional heating pad for cramping. It’s completely customizable depending on what your body needs that day. I also want to mention the liners pack...

My Laparoscopy Recovery Essentials: What’s Actually Helping Me Heal

Disclaimer: Links to all the products I mentioned are included. I am not being paid to promote any of them and do not receive payments. Skin sensitivity may impact your experiences with these products. Recovering from my laparoscopy has been a journey, and honestly, some days are more uncomfortable than others. Over the past week, I’ve found a few products that have made a huge difference in how I feel—both physically and mentally. Here’s what’s been helping me get through it: 1. Body Wash That Feels Safe Before and after surgery, I wanted something gentle that still felt clean. I’ve been using Dove Antibacterial Body Wash , and it’s been perfect. It keeps the incision area clean without stinging or irritating my skin, which is such a relief.  2. Underwear That Actually Works I never thought I’d get excited about disposable underwear, but Frida Mom Disposable C-Section Underwear has been a game-changer. They’re soft, supportive, and don’t press on my stomach—exactly what ...
