Goddess Provisions Box: June

July 19, 2018 No Comments

So…going on vacation to NYC recently reminded me to disconnect from the world for a bit but also made me forget to post about the June Goddess Provisions box. Whoops. I can’t not post about it though because June’s theme was all about sacred womb wisdom and I’m all about tending to the womb being an infertility sister and all. So here I am in mid-July throwing it back to last months box and sharing all the awesome goodies that came in it. These items are for anyone with a womb, or ya know what, really for anyone that wants […]

Put to the Test – Round 4

May 17, 2018 No Comments

I’m here with another samples post, aka: the low-down on my first impressions of another round of fab products. Samples are a great way to try products you’re unsure about or might have never otherwise tried. I think that’s why I love them so much. Maybe I’m a product commitment-phobe, but whatever, I just like to be sure before I spend my money on something. Not only because I hate wasting money, but I also hate wasting products. I’m sure there’s some stat about how much we Americans waste every year by throwing away half used products (I couldn’t find […]

Goddess Provisions Box: April

April 18, 2018 No Comments

Another great box arrived this month from Goddess Provisions! I’m sure I sound like a broken record but they just know how to do it over there. This month’s theme continues the theme from last month but at a more in depth level. Last month’s theme was Ayurveda wellness which is the practice of ensuring health through connection and harmony of the mind and body. In order to keep energies symbiotic and flowing smoothly, Ayurveda suggests ensuring that your chakras (or energy centers throughout your body) are open and aligned. This month’s box is the “Higher Chakra Ascension” box and […]

Goddess Provisions Box: Past Box Favorites

April 12, 2018 No Comments

I just can’t get enough of this subscription box! I told myself that I’d stop the subscription once all this fertility business is over but “lucky me” it just keeps going on therefor so does the subscription! It’s like my little treat for getting through the months and for motivation to keep going too. I love nothing more than getting surprises in the mail and while I always know it’s coming, I try not to sneak peek what’s in it. It makes it feel like a Christmas present when it arrives (it’s for my inner child obviously). Since I’d taken […]

Goddess Provisions Box: March

March 22, 2018 No Comments

Ok, this just might be my favorite Goddess Provisions Box yet! It was jam packed with goodies this time and the theme was so timely and on point – Ayurvedic Wellness. If you’re not familiar with Ayurvedic medicine it’s the world’s oldest holistic healing system developed in India over 5,000 years ago. It’s applies the notion that total body wellness requires a delicate balance of the mind, body and spirit. It’s principle is promoting good health, not fighting disease, so it’s a proactive health approach, not reactionary. I just read a quick description recently explaining that it’s basically the science […]

General, Personal Care, The Sunday Scoop

The Sunday Scoop 3

March 11, 2018 No Comments

BotanicGal here with your weekly round up of readings and ramblings. It’s March 11 today and if you’re the rounding up type (that’s me) then we’re basically halfway through March! And today is the first day of daylight savings so we’re finally getting more glorious sunlight too. Has anyone else started seeing the crocus flowers reaching up through the winter sludge and almost getting ready to bloom? I’m waiting with baited breath! I think spring is really right around the corner. Hooray! I have to start by asking how everyone thought the Bachelor Finale went this week. My hugest complaint was […]

Winter Favorites

March 9, 2018 No Comments

It’s starting to warm up a little bit here in Chicago but I have a feeling winter is going to drag it’s butt all the way to June, teasing us with warmer weather along the way. That means the arrival of humidity is a ways off so my skin is going to stay in winter mode until then too. Due to that I’m sure I’m going to need to keep my favorite winter products handy until June rolls around. Since some of you might still be in dry skin mode too I thought I’d share what my favorite products […]

Put to the test – Round 1

March 6, 2018 No Comments

Samples you guys! They are like candy to me. Like if Halloween was just trick-or-treating for skincare samples you couldn’t stop me. I’d be all over that. I’m not joking about my love for samples, I even had a dream last night that I was at a parade and they were throwing skincare samples instead of candy. Can you imagine?! I mean, don’t get me wrong, I LOVE candy too, but I love trying new products even more (ok, maybe it’s a tie). I love sample so much that I will order from companies who sell them or include them […]

Deodorant Faves – Part 1

February 22, 2018 No Comments

In the past I put up post on why I made the switch to natural deodorants, which you can read here. In case you didn’t read my post, the in-a-nutshell of it is that I switched over because many conventional deodorants are fully of nasty chemicals that can disrupt normal hormone function and affect ones fertility factor, among other things. Also, sweating is completely natural and is the body’s way of eliminating those toxins that can wreak havoc. I know the switch can be a hesitant one because, you know- smelly BO, but some of them really work!! Since it […]

Goddess Provisions Box: February

March 9, 2017 2 Comments

The weather last month was so uncharacteristic of a typical February and March has been off to an interesting start too. I’ve loved being able to soak up some vitamin D here and there. It’s been fantastic for my mental well-being! This of course is not necessarily a good sign for the future of our planet, but that’s a topic for a different day. None-the-less it’s got me thinking all about spring and the good things that come with it like flowers and sun! This month’s Goddess Provisions box fit right along with those thoughts of spring. The theme was “Flower […]
