Wild Wind Soap Company believes one of life's simple luxuries is bathing with a soothing bar of natural soap. That's why all of their products are free of synthetic fragrances and preservatives.

The company offers a line of bath and body products that are deeply scented (naturally of course) and provide specific purposes such as moisturizing or exfoliating. The collection of bar soaps include Honey Oats & Almond, Lavender, Patchouli & Walnut and Prairie Mint, all of which contain essential oils. A liquid soap is also available that will not dry out skin as some products that contain harsh chemicals might do. Spa and body treats feature an olive oil lotion and a face cleanser, as well as Shea Butter Cream. The lip balms provide moisture with ingredients such as sweet almond oil, cocoa butter and aloe oil. There are also sample packs and gift sets which make the perfect present for someone special, including yourself!

As part of their ongoing efforts to be eco and socially responsible, Wild Wind Soap Company wastes as little as possible by re-using all boxes and packaging materials. Company print materials use 100 percent recycled, post-consumer waste paper and the soap wrappers are made of recycled paper and free of chlorine, acid and lignin. The products are never tested on animals and are biodegradable.

On a warm summer evening there's almost nothing more enjoyable than heading out to your deck to unwind after a long day.  Unfortunately that's also prime time for pesky mosquitoes to come out and start feasting on your inviting flesh, which of course turns the aforementioned enjoyable time into a frustrating experience of swatting, slapping and scratching.

Avoid this scenario by surrounding your patio with a few Amazon Lights Garden Candles to keep mosquitoes at bay. The all-natural candles contain ten per cent essential oils from Brazilian Andiroba, citronella (a natural mosquito repellent), rosemary and thyme, and are made from 100 per cent palm wax. The candles will last for up to 28 hours. That's a whole lot of sunsets you can enjoy itch-free!

Amazon Lights is a supporter of community trade in the Brazilian Amazon, acquiring the Andiroba oil they use in their products from the Amazon Co-op.  You can feel good by knowing when you purchase any Amazon Lights products, you're providing a means of trade for indigenous tribes, allowing the Co-op to promote sanitation, dental care and education programs.

It seems like just last week we were talking about Mother's Day and here we are in June already, less than a week away from celebrating Father's Day. Don't spend the next few days stressing about what to get dad because five days is still plenty of time to find him the perfect gift. Like Kiehl's Energizing Starter Kit, featuring some of their legendary and coveted skincare products.

The Facial Fuel Energizing Face Wash uses vitamin E, menthol and caffeine to remove dirt, surface oil and impurities, preparing the skin for a close shave without ever drying it out. Kiehl's Ultimate Man Body Scrub Soap features oat bran, oat kernel meal and pumice to exfoliate and cleanse fatigued skin. The Ultimate Brushless Shave Cream - White Eagle is the company's most popular shave cream, and contains menthol and camphor for a close, soothing shave. None of these products are ever tested on animals and they also come packaged in an earth-friendly bag made from 100 per cent EVA and biodegradable material.

The best feature of course is that this is the perfect gift for even the most practical father, since most men shave on at least a semi-regular basis unless they're going for that overgrown, caveman look (in which case this is a great opportunity to introduce dad to some grooming essentials). And it's all eco-friendly of course, leaving one less objectionable aspect for the father who swore up-and-down that all he wanted this year was a card (yeah right!).

Contrary to what your father says, duct tape is not meant to repair anything under the sun and that includes the wallet that's falling apart and would be held together on hope alone were in not for the unsightly silver strands holding it together. Time for a new wallet perhaps? There's no better time than Father's Day to give one to the dad who likes a practical gift he can get everyday use out of.

Hempy's is a self-described eco-technology brand that has an entire line of eco-friendly wallets in a variety of styles since as your dad will tell you, not all wallets are created equal. The Mesh Utility Wallet is a great option for the rough-and-tumble father who would live in his favorite fishing spot if only work weren't holding him back. The Tri-fold Corduroy Wallet has several card holders, ideal for the man that takes every single card and membership he owns every single place he goes. And if your father is one of those people who lives in perpetual fear that he may need to write a check at any given time of the day and carries his checkbook around like a lifeline, the Checkbook Wallet will at least allow him to do so in style while also providing space for his change, keys and (gasp!) credit cards, should he ever need to use one in a pinch.
