Is YOUR detergent allergen free?
I’m not sure what was more shocking.

Was it  the teen shriek or the fact I forgot to buy laundry detergent?

Detergent was on the list.  Of course, the list never made it to the market.  At least I remembered to buy beets.

In my teen’s defense, I promised to have her white shirt washed and ready for date night. There would be no date without the white shirt.  It’s the only one that goes with the indigo skirt.

There would be no time to run out for more detergent.  The night would be ruined.  One innocent lapse in memory would end the romance of the ages.  Because of me, the world would have to settle for lesser romances… Like that of Will and Kate.

Then, as fast as I had ruined her life, I rescued it. I remembered the box in my basement office. Inside, No Gluten Natural Girl Products awaited my review. One of those products was... LAUNDRY DETERGENT!
It might not surprise you that powdered laundry detergent hasn't made its way into my machine in years. I was skeptical Natural Girl's "Oxy-Prime" powder would be up to the task, but this was a white shirt emergency!

So, where can YOU find such fantastic gluten free products?

Visit my friends at No Gluten Natural Girl Products.

This company is the brainchild of two awesome ladies, Debbie and Amanda.

Debbie lived for many years with "mysterious" health issues before being diagnosed with Celiac Disease. After adopting a gluten free diet, she realized gluten was not only affecting her inside, it was affecting her outside, too!

That’s no surprise considering an estimated 60% of what we put on our body ends up in our body. Gluten is used in many cosmetics - from lipstick to lotion - under names like wheat germ oil, barley lipids, and fermented grain extract. Even natural products containing oat-derivatives may pose a risk due to possible cross-contamination.

Natural Girl co-owner, Amanda, also understands the need for gluten free products. A former special education teacher, she recalls parents' wishing for a one-stop shop where they could find safe, natural products for their children. At the time, no such place existed.

That is no longer the case now that Amanda and Debbie have opened their Natural Girl  business. You can find all the naturally gluten free beauty and household products you need in one convenient location. It's only a click away... and easy to afford!

Thank you to No Gluten Natural Girl Products for samples provided for this review. Opinions expressed here are my own.

Wow! This is great to find all these products in one place! I confess that since going completely g-f just a couple months ago, I've been putting aside the need to address beauty products. It seemed so very overwhelming! This is a big help! Thanks bunches!!

Oh my goodness, Gigi, that was such a close call for you and your daughter! So glad a product review opportunity saved the day. I'd hate for you to be labeled "terrible mom" and your daughter to not have all the romance she's entitled to for lack of a white shirt with her indigo skirt. ;-) These sound like wonderful products indeed. Thanks for the review, dear!

Jill,

You're in the same boat as so many - I think "going gluten free" means only food to so many of us at first.

It takes time to get into the groove of a new style of eating. Beauty and household products usually don't seem to be an area where we need to focus at first.

I love these products - so easy to use them because no worries of contamination.

Thanks for stopping by! :)

xoxo,
Gigi

Shirley,

I was *this close* to losing that Mom of the Year title! :)

Thank goodness that detergent was awaiting review!

They really are awesome products... I can't get past how the laundry detergent whitened the whites.

It doesn't hurt that these are some spectacular ladies!

Glad you stopped in!

xo,
Gigi

So funny the story! I remember times like that when I was the teen girl but my mom never had a rescue stash like I or you. Instead she just said use dish soap & wash it out in the sink & forget about it.
