So many personal care products at home? Yes? Since I want to practice minimalism at home, I would start with these products. Before, I would use different  products for my kids' skin (they got sensitive skin) and mine when itching, a different lotion for me and my kids for massage at night to put them to sleep, a special oil for  Mr. MITD, to relax his tensed muscles after a long day at work. Now, I have found a product that can be used by my family for our skin rashes, insect bites and for massage. Good thing that it is also paraben free since it uses all natural ingredients-- The  Vaniderm VCO Essential Oil with Lavender. It has a calming and relaxing effects and helps relieve muscle and joint pains; can also be applied to minor burns, insect bites and stings. Vaniderm VCO Essential Oil with Lavender  Whenever I see insect bites on my kids' skin or mine, I use this product and voila! Itching's gone in no time. Tested and proven by me and my fa...

Thinning hair? Falling hair? Dry scalp?  Fret not! Vaniderm has got you covered. Were you born and raised in the era where our elders would use aloe vera and gugo to help thicken hair, make it shiny and smooth? I am! Maybe the reason why I also have thick hair when I was small. I can still remember my mom would pick up aloe vera in our relative's yard to use on us (my sibs and I). In this day and age that even our #1 trusted shampoo for our kids is not safe, I always make sure that the products I use for my family is all natural. Lately, I was given this product by a friend as a token. Upon knowing the ingredients, I used it or rather my family started using it. The more it made our bonding time in the bathroom fun and relaxed. We love the smell of the shampoo as if we are in a spa while taking a bath - very calming. I took a photo of my mom's hair as some part is thinning. She has also started using Vaniderm . Will update this post as we continue to use t...
