It’s been a long journey trying to find a shampoo that works for me. In the past, oh, perhaps 5 or 6 years at least, I remember dealing with a dry scalp, and sometimes dandruff too. Though the two aren’t the same thing, it’s not great having both at once. It’s often been so dry […] Read more…
With sleek modern packaging and ingredients like oats, almonds, and chamomile, I could tell this natural makeup and skincare range was created with passion. It really caught my eye and the folks at Ere Perez were very kind to send me a few items to try. Over the past six weeks I’ve been really enjoying […] Read more…
Full Unicorn may be my favorite natural skincare line in a long time, and that has nothing to do with the fact that this brand’s name includes my favorite mythical creature (though that is pretty cool). It is a fairly new brand and kindly sent me their Radiant Facial Set to try. At first I was excited […] Read more…
Over the course of the summer I’ve been trying a few skincare products from Shea Terra that I absolutely love! This is a great company that you can read more about here, but I especially love that Shea Terra Organics sources the most potent organic and wild-harvested ingredients from across Africa. They have a large product […] Read more…
Asking me if I want my beauty and skincare to be plant-powered is like asking me if I’d like time for an extra nap during the week. Um, yes please!

Sugar scrubs are one of my favorite things to make at home! They’re simple, quick, and you can save quite a bit of money if you make your own vs. buying them year-round. This week I created a recipe for a citrus sugar scrub that has a gentle blend of essential oils including tangerine, frankincense, […] Read more…

Over the past six weeks I’ve been trying out a few of their newer items including the Tea Tree & Willow Clarifying Cleanser, Green Tea EGCG Concentrate Serum […] Read more…
If you’re looking to simplify your skincare routine, you might give these complete organics oils a try. I’m a huge fan of facial oils and for the past six weeks or so I have been using only oils on my face as moisturizer. It might seem counter intuitive, especially if you struggle with oily skin, […] Read more…
I’ve tried a few things from Good Medicine Beauty Lab over the years, and have always thought highly of their products, so recently tried a few more samples. I took a chance on the Indigo Restoring Body Cream, Honey Bee Blossoming Revelation Mask, and Ashes Reincarnation Cleansing Grains. I was not disappointed and just ordered […] Read more…
Serums are one of those things you don’t necessarily think you need as part of your skincare routine, that is until you try a great one. I’ve tried many different face serums over the years and I can tell after using the Poetique Radiance Boosting Serum daily for two weeks now that this is one […] Read more…
I recently mentioned in my fall favorites video that I’ve been loving the Daily Face Cream from Lime & Lotus Organics. However, I don’t use it as a daily face cream – and I’ll explain in a minute. I’m a fan of how this product is packaged, and love the all natural ingredients including coconut […] Read more…
