GudonyaToo Review and Giveaway

If you've read my Holiday Gift Buying Guide you might recognize GudonyaToo.  Also if you read the post I posted just before this one (the tour of my bathroom product) you will definitely recognize GudonyaToo.  So what exactly is GudonyaToo?  Why it's my favorite Etsy store!  That's what it is!

Tina is the genius who created GudonyaToo and all of it's fabulous products.  She uses mostly eco-friendly ingredients, and operates her extremely successful Etsy store out of her home.  You all know how much I love supporting hard-working individuals and their at-home endevors and Tina is no exception... except in the fact that she's my favorite.

I use several of her products and am dying to try several more!  The first thing I tried was her Salty Dawg Shampoo in So Delicious (my favorite so far!), Citrus, and Pumpkin Caramel Cheesecake.  It's a cream shampoo- with the main ingredient being salt- that takes a little getting used to at first, but once you do you will hopefully fall in love with it like I have!  I mentioned this in my last post, but since using GudonyaToo's Salty Dawg shampoo I have noticed a dramatic difference in my hair.  Both in how it feels and how fast it grows!  I'm not the only one, either.  Recently we discussed this on my Green Living board and several women reported noticing faster hair growth and almost everyone reported that their hair was dramatically healthier!

For Christmas I got a wonderful gift pack of GudonyaToo supplies that included Whipped Clean Shave Cream (in strawberry scent, LOVE IT!), Solid Perfume (in Spa Fusion), and Mango scented/flavored Lip Smoothie.  I am a huge chap stick fan, I've tried many, many brands, and Gudonya's Lip Smoothie has quickly become my favorite, especially for use at night because it's extremely long lasting!

Super Duper Stinky NO More Deodorant has both an amusing name, and 11 great scents to choose from!  When I place my next order with GudonyaToo, a stick of this will be included!  I love my other deodorants, but she has this available in So Delicious which is a scent I absolutely adore!

Opulance Hand and Nail Ccrub and Nail 9-1-1 Cuticle Sticks will leave your hands and nails looking fantastic!   The vegan formula INTENSE Conditioner will work wonders alongside the Salty Dawg shampoo in increasing the quality and feel of your hair.  And the sMOOchy (tm) All Over Skin Exfoliator and Conditioner will leave your body feeling clean and soft!  All of these (and a few more) are available in the Etsy Shop!

Not a fan of scents and dyes?  Worry not!  Tina takes custom orders and can do pretty much everything scent and dye free!

What I Love: The scents.  Everything I've tried so far I've loved.  Some more than others, but I have not been disappointed with anything.  The quality.  I really feel like I am getting a high end quality product when I use these.  I'm left feeling like I spent a million bucks when I really didn't spent that much at all!

What I Don't Love: It's not available in any stores near me!  I hate running out of shampoo, not realizing it, then having to go a few days without my every-other-day Salty Dawg fix!  I've learned to order BEFORE running out, or ordering two to always have a spare on hand.  Especially since my husband keeps sneaking the shampoo!

BUY IT!

Head on over to the GudonyaToo Etsy Store today, and pick up... EVERYTHING!  Seriously you will not regret it!  I do recommend maybe starting out with the smaller sizes of the Salty Dawg Shampoo ($4.50 for a 4 oz Jar, $8 for an 8 oz Jar) because some people have reported that it doesn't work with certain hair types.  For everything else, bigger is more affordable and will last you longer... you won't regret it!

The prices are fair and decent and range from $3.25 for a Lip Smoothie and Shaving Soap Sticks up to $9 for the Opulance Hand and Nail Scrub.  Take advantage of $5 Flat Rate US Shipping, too!  Seriously, she has sold over 20,000 products with over 15,000 feedback reviews left with 100% satisfaction!  You will not be disappointed!

SPECIAL DEAL!!!  When you order let Tina know you learned about her products from my blog and you will get 10% off of your entire order!  WOW!  Just enter "Eco-Friendly and Frugal" in the Comments to the Seller and she will refund you the discount after your order is completed.  This discount applies to orders made between March 9th and March 31st only!

WIN IT!

Tina is being AMAZING and offering one extremely lucky reader a free GudonyaToo gift pack that will contain a 4 oz Salty Dawg Shampoo, 4 oz INTENSE Hair Conditioner, and 4 oz Whipped Clean Shave Cream in winner's choice of scent!  That's an amazing price!
