Hey there y'all!
Sorry I've been MIA for a while, life caught up with me, we moved and I've been super focused on getting our new house in order, and let's be real, some things just took a back seat for a min. A last though, I have returned and things have kinda settled down........( I say that now) so I'm going to really try to get back into the swing of things back on here and maybe......maaaaybe possibly my YouTube channel. We'll see.
So The Honest Company, I know this is somewhat controversial to a lot of people out there to say the least. Just like any other product out , there is going to be rave reviews and reviews condemning the product and or company to the lowest depths of hell. Maybe particularly more in this case because this company was half founded and partly ran by a very well known and successful actress.
Now to be completely honest haha, no pun intended. I have watched YouTube videos of people expressing their opinions about the products and I've read articles on the internet about the recent lawsuits happening. Please know and believe none of these things have influenced what I think in anyway.
With that said, let's get into it shall we!
We've all seen the commercials and ads online for The Honest Company, lots of people were excited to learn when Target started carrying some of the products in store. I'll admit I was drawn in by the super adorbs packaging and the complete transparent want for the product because Jessica Alba co-created and co-runs the company. Don't judge anyone for this because we've all done it. A celeb creates or sponsors, endorses, collaborates on a product and we all lose our damn minds. This was no different. Jessica Alba, while a famous actress is also a mother and has stated many times that wanting good products for her children with out all the harsh chemicals was her main reasoning behind creating The Honest Company.
So I ordered 2 of the trial bundles, I only had to pay $5.95 for shipping and they mailed them out to me. I ordered the Essentials bundle and the Wellness bundle for kid's and infants.
In the Essential bundle I received 5 travel sized products including, honest multi-surface spray, honest hand soap, honest face + body lotion, honest organic healing balm and honest shampoo + bodywash and in the Wellness bundle I received a single does of the kid's multi-vitamin and a packet of the baby and toddler muti powder.
I have tried some of these products not all but most of them along with my children, and what I have tried............I do like and probably will purchase in the future.
Now here's the fine print...... well kinda. When you order your free trials you are automatically signed up to receive these bundles every 4 to 6 weeks (you can customize this yourself) They don't hide this fact from you and they tell you that if want to cancel you have 5-7 days after your bundle arrives to call them and say thanks, but no thanks. They also offer 2 other bundles I believe. A diapers and wipes bundle and a formula bundle.
For me personally, the Essentials bundle is where it's at. It's $35.99 for the bundle, that includes 5 full size products. They do give you the option to buy these products separately but the bundle is the best value.
Now I understand, lots of people are calling The Honest Company out claiming their products aren't as safe and natural as they would like everyone to think. That they still use harsh chemicals in their cleaning products. I can't comment on whether they do or not. But let's use common sense here. The cleaning products may say plant based or more natural but that still doesn't mean you should let your kids spray them or mess around with them. If you want something super natural use vinegar and water if your feeling daring throw a drop or two of dawn dish soap in there. Other wise stop complaining, stop buying the honest company products. If you didn't like them bummer but don't go on a shame campaign against the company because the products weren't what you thought they should be or you don't care for the co-owner/creator.
Those are my thoughts on my Honest Company trial bundles I ordered. I encourage you to order if you are on the fence about it or have been thinking about it. Try it, if its not what you thought or not for you just cancel and go on about your life if you love it awesome! Order more, or don't, do what you want. I like what I've tried, plain and simple!
I hope this helped y'all, I encourage you to still do research and ask questions about these products if you have them.
Stay Beautiful Y'all
XOXO
Emily
