The Purple African Violet, known as Saintpaulia ionantha ‘Devotion’ in its vibrant purple with white edge form, is a beloved and iconic houseplant known for its charming appearance and long-lasting blooms. With soft, velvety foliage and elegant, bicolor flowers that bloom in tight clusters. 

The African violet is prized for its long-lasting blooms and wide range of flower colors, particularly the classic, blue-flowered varieties, as well as striking burgundy, soft pinks, crisp whites, and colorful mixed-color blends.  

The African violet varieties stand out in any indoor setting. Its compact size and ability to thrive on windowsills and tabletops make it a favorite among houseplant enthusiasts, particularly those who appreciate color and form in small spaces. 

The foliage is one of its standout features: soft, deep green, and covered with fine hairs that give the plant its characteristic velvety texture.

The African violet purple Leaves are typically rounded with slightly scalloped edges, growing in symmetrical rosettes.

Mature African Violets purple stays compact, typically reaching 12 inches wide and up to 8 inches tall, making them ideal for small containers or decorative planters.

The African violets bloom is semi-double or double in form, with rich purple petals rimmed by crisp white edges, a stunning contrast that feels both elegant and cheerful.

A unique aspect of this plant is its ability to flower in lower light compared to many other blooming houseplants, making it especially suitable for apartments or homes with filtered light.

African Violets bloom repeatedly throughout the year under proper conditions, especially when grown indoors with consistent care. Purple African Violet flowers attract hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies due to their bright color and sweet nectar, making them a popular choice for gardeners looking to attract pollinators.  

When it comes to care, the purple African Violets require bright, indirect light, ideally from east- or north-facing windows. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while low light will hinder blooming. For soil, use a light, fast-drained, specialized  potting mix, opens in a new tab that retains some moisture but doesn’t stay soggy. Watering should be done when the top inch of soil feels dry—typically every 5–7 days during the growing season. These plants are sensitive to cold water on their leaves, so bottom watering or using room-temperature water is preferred.  

When grown indoors, they grow best in temperatures between 65–75°F and humidity around 50–60%.

Though primarily grown indoors in the United States, they can be placed outdoors in Southern Florida and Hawaii, during warm months in USDA zones 10–11, as long as they’re shielded from direct sun and temperature extremes.

According to ASPCA, the African Violet Saintpaulia, is non-toxic to humans and pets, which adds to their appeal as safe indoor greenery. When planted in a group or as a mixed arrangement with other African Violet hybrids of different colors, the contrast in blooms and textures can create a vibrant and living floral mosaic.

• Create a signature fragrance for a foaming dispenser
Scent: Palo Santo, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 2), Scent: Palo Santo, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
One of the features that I enjoy about liquid soap is its ability to quickly refresh skin. This Palo Santo product is certainly one of the most unique offerings on the market; it is warm and pleasant, albeit a short-lasting fragrance as should be expected of any body wash. While most customers will consider using this product exclusively as a body wash, my preference is to enjoy it throughout the day as a hand and face refreshment. Use a foaming soap dispenser This product can be used as a daily hand and facial wash. Now, you might be thinking that this would be pretty inconvenient because the product is contained in a talI bottle with a flip-up top that can be both clumsy to use and takes up counter space. To address these problems, transfer the product into a small, foaming pump, counter top dispenser. Now I know what you’re thinking; how is this possible? This product has a viscosity similar to syrup. It will never pass through a foaming dispenser. And you would be correct in that critique; so don’t use it straight-up from the Cremo bottle. Instead, dilute the product with water. Since I’ve used this method before with other liquid soap products, I know that it will work consistently by following a few simple steps. The goal is to make a diluted solution of at least 90% warm water and 10% product, in other words a 9-to-1 dilution. Using a smaller ratio with too much product will likely jam the pumping mechanism because the product is too viscous to transit the foaming mechanism. How would this be done? Step 1. Select an empty foaming soap dispenser. The brand is not as important as long as you are able to fill it with water and soap product. Step 2. Fill the dispenser with warm water to reach about three inches from the top of the bottle. Step 3. Pour in Palo Santo to raise the water level to about one inch above the existing water line. Step 4. Cover the top of the dispenser with your palm and gently mix the product and water by rocking the bottle, or stir the product until it mixes with the water. I don’t recommend shaking the bottle. Shaking will result in a lot of soapy lather escaping the container before the pump top is reattached. Note: When filling the container, leave enough air space at the top of the dispenser for the stem and pump mechanism to be returned to the container. Overfilling just means that some product will escape when recapped. Step 5. After the top is reattached, prime the pump a few times and the foam mixture should smoothly leave the bottle. Photo One shows the water and Palo Santo mixture. As you can see, the mixture is transparent. The result is an easy to use hand and face foam wash. This pump spray approach means that the Cremo bottle can be stored away until a refill is needed. This process should work for every clear Cremo product. Create your signature fragrance The Palo Santo fragrance is unique, but its colorless appearance in a dispenser is not inviting. The product could use some color to make it more appealing and some zhoosh fragrance from another product. To accomplish this, add an extra body wash product that is both colorful and has a complementary fragrance to the original Palo Santo. All it takes is this addition to Step 3: Step 3-PLUS. Add about a quarter inch of another liquid soap to the container and mix it as in Step 4. The result is now a colorful mixture with a more expressive fragrance. Three different combinations In my first trial, Palo Santo was mixed with sage and cedar wood that added an attractive teal color (see photo 2). In the second trial Palo Santo was mixed with mint and rosemary making a blue combo (see photo 3). The third trial was a mixture of coconut and black pepper creating a purple mixture (see photo 4). Each of these combinations produced a complex blend of fragrances that would appeal to family and friends. Blend Palo Santo to your personal taste Palo Santo has a reputation for being a “mature” fragrance. Fair enough. But it does need to be—like Old Spice(y) or Hai Karate. Instead, it can be developed into a more chic and modern choice. By adding a dash of extra ingredients, you can design a blended Palo Santo fragrance that is both more complex and appealing. Certainly, with a little experimentation, you can also create a variety of mixtures that enhance Palo Santo and broaden the spectrum of your daily hand and face wash products. Just start with your favorite Cremo product and zhoosh-it-up.

Screamo for Creamo! Update on Sage and Citrus and Cologne
Scent: Bourbon Oak, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
So first off the product came exactly as depicted. The smell was good but not strong or offensive. It has a pleasing woodsy smell. The name says it all. The lather is not particularly big but that doesn’t define how clean you get. I think it cleaned me up very well with one caveat. My face is a little oily so I did purchase the Creamo face wash. The body wash really didn’t do the trick for my face which is somewhat oily. The bottle is reminiscent of the past and stylish. It overall is a great product. I just bought the Sage and Citrus body wash. This is a great all season body wash with a more contemporary smell. It’s lighter than the Bourbon and Oak with, as stated, a citrus smell tempered with the earthy sage. Again it does not clean my oily face but I use the Creamo face wash and it does just fine. The rest of my body feels clean and the scent is light and not overpowering. Between both products I also use the shaving cream. I enjoy the original scent. I tried the Bourbon scent with the Bourbon and Oak body wash and felt it was a little overpowering. On a good note I combined all this with the Bourbon and Oak cologne. The shaving cream last a long time and should be used sparingly. The value is in the amount you use. It’s far less than a cheaper shaving cream but offers superior protection and excellent moisturizing elements. The cologne lasts all day and does not require but a single spray under both arms and a single spray on a wrist rubbed against the other. If you need an anti perspirant use one without a scent since this will conflict with the cologne. The value is definitely there as this cologne albeit simple in appearance has very delicate notes reminiscent of my more expensive cologne. I use Creed Vetiver for going out. This cologne has a very similar quality but is, of course, a different bouquet. Overall the whole line of Creamo products seems to be well thought out and outshines many higher end products such as Clinique or Brickell which I have also used. It comes down to value and quality. That’s where it really wins. It’s made in California where I live!

Smooth Lather and a Balanced, Refreshing Scent
Scent: Sage & Citrus, Size: 32 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This body wash delivers a rich, consistent lather and a scent that’s both clean and uplifting. The sage adds a subtle herbal note while the citrus keeps it bright. It rinses off without residue and doesn’t dry out the skin. A well‑crafted formula that feels premium without the premium price tag.

Does this beat Anthony Invigorating wash in the long last smell
Scent: Seagrass & Driftwood, Size: 32 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Anthony Invigorating wash (check out my review of that) has a very strong pine scent to it and is a very long lasting smell. How does Cremo's products stand up to it! I put deodorants, shampoos, and body washes through the same rigorous tests. I run 14+ miles 4-5 times a week, swim 20+ lengths (or laps) in a junior Olympic pool 3 days a week, use a Sauna 2-3 times in fifteen minute intervals 4 times a week, and use weights 4 days a week. All of these body washes and shampoos that I try out not only go up against Anthony's but also getting rid of that chlorine smell. I always will finish a product before reviewing it I'll be honest here as always, the Blue Cedar and Cypress at first whiff smelled weird. I can't explain the 1st whiff smell though you have my warning. I thought this was going to be my least favorite of the 3 different Cremo products (bourbon and oak, seagrass and driftwood, and this one) that I received. I have the policy to use all the products up in their entirety, so you don't have to. After using it up, I actually like the smell of it. The cedar smell comes out once applied. I actually use this with Anthony Blue Sea Kelp Body (check out my review of that). This goes great with it. So on my buy, borrow, or bury review rating system, this is a buy. The issue I have with it, is that Cremo products don't seem to be that moisturizing their smells are good and lasting. This beats the off the chlorine smell of the pool and works great in combination with Anthony's. Try it out, just get past that initial smell, you won't be disappointed. Now for Cremo's seagrass and driftwood. The First smell test of it is very pleasant. It's once you've put it on does that wood smell really come out. The smell is good and does last long though the issue I have that it is not moisturizing. This goes great with Anthony's other 2 products that I have viewed (please check those out). So on my buy, borrow, or bury rating scale, this is a buy. If they could make their products more moisturizing it would be fantastic. I'll be back here to review the Bourbon and Oak, I have not finished it yet though it's probably going to be my favorite of all the 3 Cremo products I've tried out. Please check out all of my other reviews!
