safeHands Alcohol Free Hand Sanitizer

Update: The winner is …. Danielle Petrella

Cold and flu season will be upon us soon.  To keep healthy, hand washing is always the best option, but when that’s not practical, hand sanitizers can do the trick.  With three little (and very active) little boys, I like to use a combination of both.

Recently, I was sent safeHands Alcohol Free Hand Sanitizer. While I love to keep my mine and my little ones hands clean I’ve always had a hard time using the some of the harsh sanitizers that are full of alcohol.  Recently I discovered that I have psoriasis which effects different areas of my body, especially my hands.  In the past, when I’ve used used other sanitizers I would wince in pain as the alcohol would get into the small cuts on my hand.  Not only that, but they would also dry out my hand which would cause more drying and cracking.  That’s no fun at all.

When I discovered safeHands alcohol free hand sanitizer, I knew I’d have to try it out.  I was able to try out two of their product lines, safeHands Classic (for adults) and safeHands Squirts (for children).  Both of these are the perfect size to fit inside your diaper bag, desk or purse. I loved that it comes out in a foam which stays put on little hands so they have a chance to rub it in.  This product also comes in a variety of pleasant scents that won’t leave your hands feeling slimely, dry or sticky.  Instead this non-toxic sanitizer left my hands clean, hydrated and free of pain (Did I mention that I love that it’s alcohol free??)

Designed by a doctor, I’m excited that this product is safe for children and the environment while still killing more than 99.99% of germs on contact.  Created with the active ingredient called Benzalkonium Chloride this sanitizer is tough on germs while still being gentle on skin.  No more dry and irritated skin!

SafeHands sanitizers come in 6 scents.  We loved them all:

Clean Linen
Fragrance Free
Cucumber Mint
Cool Blue
Bubble Gum
Tooty Fruity

With so many people getting sick, I like to do what I can to stay healthy.  I’m so excited that I found a product that is not only good for my kids but also the right fit for me. safeHands will not only keep our hands clean but will keep them soft in the process.  To snag your own safeHands or safeSquirts check them out online or at your local Target store.

Recently my friend suggested we take our boys on a day trip to the Cleveland Botanical Garden.  At first I was taken back that she would suggest such a place for 5 boys under 7 but man was I wrong.  What a fun day we had!

Conveniently located in University Circle and just minutes from downtown Cleveland, Cleveland Botanical Garden is a oasis filled with so many beautiful flowers and unique plants that it makes the city just slip away.  The Cleveland Botanical Garden boasts 20 gardens, Glasshouse Conservatory, a cafe, and gift shop and will keep you entertained for hours.

Our first stop was the The Glasshouse.  This large conservatory boasts two separate climate controlled areas which will make you feel like you have traveled half way across the world.  When we entered into the area of Madagascar, we were able to see some of the most unique plants in the world including one of the largest collections of Madagascan baobab trees.   My boys loved exploring the paths and meeting a real chameleon and cute tortoises.  You can even spot a few rare and colorful birds as well as touch “fuzzy plants”.

The Cleveland Botanical Garden has graciously offered a 4-pack of tickets to giveaway so you too can visit! The giveaway will end next Friday, 9/13 and you can enter each day. Please enter below. Good luck!
