Lemon Water=Pure Magic

Posted on July 5, 2011

Allow me to share with you an incredibly easy, uber beneficial way to start your day.  A way that I often mention and always get asked why.  As, you see it is part of my daily routine and I truly do notice it in my body when I am not doing it.
Best done right after waking, before brushing your teeth or eatting or drinking anything else. I am not telling you to give up your current morning fix, you can still have it….but start with your magical lemon water elixer first, okay?

No More Dirty Looks – Giveaway!

Posted on May 31, 2011

Alright! Alright!  Excited for this one!

If you have been following me at all it is very probably that you hear me speak, and speak highly about No More Dirty Looks.  I discovered these ladies, their book, and their blog in January and have since been CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN with my cosmetics, skincare, everything.

As I wrote about in this blog upon first finding them, for years I thought that I was using CLEAN products.  I bought products that boasted that they are all-natural and although was befuddled with the long, unrecognizable, unpronouncable indgredient lists, they said all natural and estheticians and beauty pros assured me that they were.

Then I found the holy grail of TRULY CLEAN products No More Dirty Looks: The Truth about Your Beauty Products–and the Ultimate Guide to Safe and Clean Cosmetics Continue reading →

W3LL PEOPLE Clean Cosmetics for Divas & Hippies.

Posted on May 17, 2011

I have been sticking on the C-L-E-A-N cosmetics, skincare, bodycare lifestyle to a T since reading No More Dirty Looks in January.  As I wrote (here) about immediately after reading the book, for years I have been buying “natural” products thinking that they are truly natural, but in reality they are full of chemicals with a few natural products added in.  So, really, in NO WAY NATURAL!  Boooo!

No More Dirty Looks turned me on to so many new products and they still are.  My favorite discovery is W3LL PEOPLE makeup.  I have been using Bare Escentials makeup for years and while they do seem to actually be natural I was rarely ever completely satisfied with the coverage.  Somedays I would think YES! I look good!  I love this makeup! But often times I was just feeling okay about it and I always felt that it wore if quite quickly. Continue reading →

Olie Biologique Giveaway!

Posted on April 27, 2011

Not along ago I wrote about my discovery of Olie Biologique and their amazing line of skincare oils.  I tried out their sample pack of Sweet Almond Oil, Virgin Hazelnut Oil,  Natural Argan Oil, Evening Primrose Oil,  and Rose Hip Oil and knew that I had stumbled upon a new favorite.  I was right!  I am now using the Hazelnut, Argan, and Rose Hip oils regularly.  No more skin creams for me.  I am all oils, all the time.  And, no, if you are wondering, I do not have incredibly dry skin and that is why I am using oils.  I have acne-prone, oily/combination skin.  These oils heal!

You know when I love something, I love to share it… Continue reading →

Nature’s medicine:Oil of Oregano

Posted on April 13, 2011

I always forget about the magic of Oil of Oregano.  I often turn to eatting raw garlic cloves when I get sick.  It is easily accessible, cheap and nature’s anti-biotic, but oil of oregano is also an easy thing to incoorporate into daily life and to take when sickness comes on, too.

Oregano Oil has similar natural healing properties as garlic, such as it being a strong antifungal, but it also provides many other health benefits and it treats many types of disease and symptoms including: Continue reading →
