Choosing Safe Hand Sanitizers for Your Family

With COVID not going away any time soon, we’ve really worked on staying safe in a lot of ways: face masks, hand washing, six-foot social distancing and staying home. Still, we do need to leave the house and there are times we don’t have access to a sink. Choosing safe hand sanitizers for our family has been a project, because there are some that aren’t good for consistent use, and the USA faced a shortage for a while there. If you’re still looking for hand sanitizing products, take a look at these Smart Care products below!

choosing safe hand sanitizers

Smart Care sent me a big package of hand sanitizing products to try out so I can tell you about them. We’re a new fan, and so glad we found a line that we can trust. I’ve tried a lot of products in trying to find safe hand sanitizing products, and I trust these products. After repeated use, I didn’t feel like my hands were drying out, and I also didn’t get that tacky feeling some hand sanitizers leave you with.

We also really like the hand soap products. The scents are clean, not cloying, and they rival some of the higher priced specialty soap products I’ve purchased. (That Rose & Lavender scent! I could totally use a body spray like this one.) I feel comfortable with my family using these during the pandemic. Smart Care provided me some great tips to help you choose safe hand sanitizers for yourself and your family.

1.     Be Sure About Alcohol Percentage

The amount of alcohol in the hand sanitizer is critically important and the most effective hand sanitizers consist of 60-85% alcohol by volume, so be sure to check the alcohol percentage before purchasing.

2.     Check Alcohol Type

 Ethanol is proven to be more effective than isopropyl alcohol on its own against viruses. Be sure to check the type of alcohol to make sure you are purchasing the most effective hand sanitizer.

3.     Additional Ingredients

Check out the extra ingredients in the hand sanitizers as ingredients like Aloe, which is used in Smart Care hand sanitizers, help to smooth the skin upon application and reduce the dryness associated with alcohol.

4.     Proper Application is Important

In advance of application, make sure to clean all dirt and grease from your hands.  Apply a small dab of hand sanitizer to the palm of one hand, then rub your hands together. Make sure the sanitizer has dried before wiping your hands.

5.     Select a Brand with A Proven Reputation

Lastly, with the increasing number of brands on the market make sure to select a brand that has an established reputation for delivering performance and efficacy.

That’s a great crash course in things to consider when you purchase your hand sanitizers. They’re not all the same, and there are ways to use them to make them more effective.

Aren’t these Smart Care products cute? They are appealing to kids, to make it more likely they’ll use the products, and I love that there are favorite characters that everyone can enjoy. My favorite, of course, is the Marvel line, but Despicable Me is a pretty close second. You can purchase them (and their other products lines) on their website. Prices are affordable and it’s so nice to know that you have other options to help eliminate germs!

alcohol wipes

I stuffed that package of wipes into my bag, and the hand sanitizers got shared amongst the family. The sizes fit easily into my son’s pocket, as he works for a major retailer in their warehouse (where they’re very clean and safe, but a second line of defense is always a good idea.) I stuck one in my car’s glove box as well, because you just never know. It’s stowed in there now, right next to my spare face masks.

Life may be kind of weird right now, so we need to eliminate worry and stress wherever we can. One good line of safe hand sanitizers for your hands and wipes for your home’s surfaces can really contribute to that. Check out the Smart Care line and get your order in today!

As a person who cannot eat red meat, I've found my As a person who cannot eat red meat, I've found myself so badly missing some of my favorite foods, especially a good taco salad. Now I don't have to miss out anymore, thanks to the new Impossible™ Meat foods available at Rubio's!

Impossible Meat is made from plants, so you can eat less real meat but still get a delicious protein substitute while eating out! It's available in place of the chicken or steak in Rubio's entrees, or in the three below new additions to the menu as of January 6. 

  Impossible™ Taco Salad: Impossible seasoned ground meat made from plants, romaine lettuce, black beans, roasted corn, salsa fresca, tortilla strips, sliced Haas avocado and signature pickled jalapeno ranch dressing.

  Impossible™ Burrito Especial: Impossible seasoned ground meat made from plants, handmade guacamole, chipotle white sauce, roasted chipotle salsa, citrus rice, black beans and salsa fresca in a warm flour tortilla. Served with tortilla chips.

  Impossible™ California Bowl: Impossible seasoned ground meat made from plants, citrus rice, handmade guacamole, black beans, crisp romaine lettuce, salsa fresca, chipotle white sauce with your choice of salsa verde or roasted chipotle salsa.

The Impossible™ seasoned meat has all the protein of 80/20 ground beef but no hormones or antibiotics and it's gluten-free. Seasoned with the same Rubio's signature blend of Mexican spices you're used to, it's delicious! We're huge fans of Rubio's, usually going to our Ontario Mills or Rancho Cucamonga locations, and now we have more reasons to visit because we know everyone in our family will find something they like! So glad to continue to visit and support a restaurant that meets all our dietary needs while always expanding and keeping their menu innovative and healthy!

When you finally get a group photo of all the kids When you finally get a group photo of all the kids in one room but two get cut out and you look like a creeper, you still post it. Life’s short and we don’t get enough time with our loved ones. Take the silly pictures and share them, proudly, no matter how weird they are. This is my crazy family finally together and celebrating a birthday. Mama Bear will do anything for this group.

When I was a kid, I was a nerd. I read anything I When I was a kid, I was a nerd. I read anything I could get my hands on, and one day, it was a copy of The Old Farmer’s Almanac. I was hooked. I knew when the sun would set, when the moon would rise and when to plant what in my tiny garden of castoff seeds I’d find in my mom’s garden. I found an early interest in astrology and loved keeping track of full moons, holidays, tide patterns and more. 

Fast-forward to me being an adult and I still love this book. It comes out yearly and is just as much fun now as it was when I was eight. The accompanying website features snow prediction tools, zodiac profiles, word of the day and so many other things a fledgling gardener or suburban homesteader wannabe can use. 

I also received a copy of the Vegetable Gardener’s Handbook, providing step-by-step advice for vegetable growing success, full of photos for your easy reference. Not sure what to plant when? And where? This book will answer all of your questions for only $15.95. (And the almanac itself is a steal at $16.95.)

Let your inner nerd flag fly high — grab this book and settle in for a read. Then let me know what you think! At the very least, you will have a lot of good conversation starters and you’ll be a great candidate for Jeopardy!
