Dry, cracked and flakey lips have always plagued me. I love the idea of wearing lipstick and have always been jealous of the everyday wearer, but I generally avoid it because adding lipstick to that mess just plain doesn’t work. It creases, accentuates the flakes and wears off weird, not to mention it’s just hard to apply evenly. I’ve tried TONS of products over the years but many just mask the problem or make it worse or have terrible ingredients that you just end up ingesting. I have finally found a regimen that has healed things up and the results […]
Goddess Provisions Box: January
Dreams are something that can seem far away, or like distant past, child’s play. But as adults you should never stop dreaming, thinking positive or imagining something grand. That is in fact, the only way we move forward, have new experiences, and see different lands. How do you dream when there seems to be so much negativity in this world? You manifest. You manifest the hell out of your thoughts. Manifesting is the idea of visualizing and demonstrating positivity/success/happiness/whatever-other-word-you-like regardless of whatever else is happening. It’s choosing to think happy thoughts or finding the positive in the negative or believing […]
Goddess Provisions Box: October
Goddess Provisions delivered once again with their October box. October’s theme was “Money & Abundance” in which the items inside are intended to help you attract abundance in all areas of life (not just money). I’d like to think these products will bring me lots of love and good energy. Here’s what I received in last months box: Behatilife Money + Abundance Oil This intention oil is a blend of bergamot and patchouli oils with herbs of basil & thyme added in. It’s infused with reiki energy and has a small love-infused quartz crystal within that you can keep with you […]
Tried-It-and-Liked-It: October 2016
It’s that time again! I’ve tried a ton of samples this month and wanted to share my favorite finds. With winter around the corner I’ve been drawn towards all things moisturizing. Have you tried any of these? What have been your favorite finds for the last month?? Check out my finds below: Northlore – Rosehip and Rosemary Toning Spray It looks like the formula for this product recently changed to be solely a Rosehip Toning Mist which is A-OK in my book because that’s a powerhouse ingredient that I’m sure still refreshes the same. Rosehips are full of Vitamin A, […]
The Low Down: Deodorant
I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that deodorant is one of the top products on your “Never-go-a-day-without” list. It’s probably one whose brand you’re pretty loyal to as well, right? So I’m guessing it’s one of the last products you’d be willing to try in the natural department – who wants to risk smelling?!? I know! I’m overly-paranoid when it comes to smelling, I want to be the least obtrusive and noticeable as possible, so I totally get it! However, when I started looking into the ingredients in conventional deodorant and the possible harmful effects they […]
Goddess Provisions Box: September
This is delayed, seeing as we are 17 days into October already, but I’d be remiss not to post on these amazing goodies I received in my Goddess Provisions September box. Goddess Provisions is the first subscription box I’ve ever tried out and I liked the first box I got so much that I continued the subscription for another month (I’ve actually just received the October box and will be sure to post on it within a couple of weeks –it’s a good one too)! What originally caught my eye about this box was the theme – it’s “Good Vibes Only” with […]
Rachel’s Plan Bee: Body Care
I’ve always shied away from body oils, as I was afraid they would irritate my skin or cause unsightly blemishes. I think by doing that I was depriving my skin of the extra moisture it craved though. When I ran across Rachel’s Plan Bee Body Oil and found they have a mini size you can try before you buy I thought, what the hell? Why not give it a try. I’m so glad I did as it does everything I was hoping and smells amazing! While I was at it, I snagged a couple other mini size products too – […]
For the Teeth: Jason Toothpaste & Brush with Bamboo Toothbrush
We’re talking teeth and natural toothpaste today. Toothpaste is a sneaky little personal product with loads of convincing marketing behind it. Whether its “Remove Stains!”, “Whiten!”, or even the “Maximum Whitening!”, toothpaste companies know they’ve got us all by the teeth (pun intended) when it comes to our concern over how our pearly whites are presented. It’s easy to be convinced that something is needed to keep them clean, fresh and looking their best, for example: the ingredient Sodium Flouride – an additive in most conventional toothpastes. It’s said to help remove bacteria and reduce plaque build-up which sounds like […]
