It isn't too early to be thinking of Spring cleaning! It may be the middle of winter, but that is not stopping me from cleaning out cupboards, drawers and closets. I am thinking of renting a huge dumpster to toss away everything, and simplify my lifestyle! One of my New Year's resolutions is to start fresh!
When I say that I want to start fresh, this also includes using only products that are environmentally friendly as well as non-toxic. I have a baby grand daughter, and another one is due in July. I want my home to be free of not only clutter, but dangerous chemicals that could be harmful to my loved ones.
I had heard so many wonderful things about Dr. Bronner's products, and I wanted to try them for myself to find out what the hype was all about. I had heard they were known for their soaps that are good for the environment, but I did not know that they also created and sold bath and body care products.
I was given the chance to review a few of Dr. Bronner's products. I chose their liquid soap, body lotion, sugar soap, shaving soap. Here is some information about each product I received.
Dr. Bronner’s 18-in-1 Pure-Castile Soaps are good for just about any cleaning task. Face, body, hair & food, dishes, laundry, mopping, pets—clean your house and body with no synthetic preservatives, detergents or foaming agents—none! Dilute! I am absolutely amazed at all of the uses this soap has. So far, I have used it on a damp wash cloth to dust my furniture, clean up sticky spills on my hardwood floors, and to bathe my cat. it has surpassed my expectations each time I use it. I just cannot get over the fact that I can use this miracle product on tough laundry stains as well as washing my fruit before I eat it! I love the pure peppermint scent.
Fair trade & organic sugar gives this Organic Pump Soaps a rich caramel color and sweet scent. The sugar combines with organic white grape juice to keep your skin nourished, hydrated and smooth. Organic coconut-olive-hemp oils blend for a creamy castile lather & soap making tradition! I have been using this heavenly soap in my shower. I use it to wash my face, hair and body. It works perfectly to remove my makeup without irritating my eyes. it is fabulous as a shampoo as well as a body wash! I imagine that it would be the perfect shampoo to repel lice since it contains tea tree oil. (That is not a pleasant thought, but with one child still in school,that has definitely crossed my mind.)
Get a close, comfortable shave with organic ingredients that nourish and cleanse the skin! Like organic shikakai powder from India, used there for centuries on hair and body. This Organic Shaving Soaps are great for both men and women. I simply squirt a little bit of Shaving Soap onto my hands (about the size of a nickel) and rub them together for a good lather. I apply it to my underarms as well as my legs (and bikini area-can't forget that!) and continue to rub soap into my skin, enhancing the lather so that I prepare my skin for a good, clean shave. It works perfectly in the shower, and leaves my skin feeling silky smooth.
Nourish and hydrate skin with good ingredients: organic jojoba oil to heal and soothe, organic coconut oil to moisturize, organic hemp and avocado oils to keep skin smooth and supple. Gentle enough to be used anywhere — hands, face or body. This lotion is highly emollient, so start with a small amount. I keep a bottle by my sink and always apply it after hand-washing. I also apply it from my shoulders to my feet right out of the shower, before my skin dries. Just a few squirts will cover the whole body and absorb quickly into skin. Nourishes and moisturizes organically. Massage slowly into skin for deep relaxation, always towards the heart. My skin is keep perfectly hydrated.

Parents, despite the numerous measures they take to keep their children in good shape, often overlook one of the most effective ways to help support their kids' health—essential oils.
Essential oils are concentrated plant extracts that are scientifically proven to provide therapeutic benefits to children. They are considered effective health boosters as their aroma can deliver instant effects to the brain. Aside from aromatherapy, they can be applied topically.
Proper Dilution of Essential Oils for Children
Since essential oils are highly potent extracts, using them for children requires extra care. Before applying essential oils directly on your child's skin, you must dilute it with any carrier oil (e.g. coconut oil, avocado oil, grapeseed oil) first.
Generally, the concentration should only be about 0.25%. This means 0.25% of the mixture is the essential oil while the remaining 99.75% is the carrier oil. In other words, four teaspoons of chosen carrier oil must be mixed with each drop of essential oil.
The 0.25%-concentration is the safest concentration level for children, but you can add a little more as your child gets older. For two- to six-year-old kids, the concentration may be increased to 1%. For six- to ten-year-old kids, the concentration may be increased to 1.5%.
Health-Boosting Essential Oils
There are a variety of essential oils that can be used to help keep your kids at their healthiest. Their benefits range from treatment of wounds to relief of stress and anxiety. Below are some of the best essential oils for boosting your child's health.
1. Blue Tansy
Blue tansy essential oil is a great choice during seasons when diseases become more prevalent. It can stimulate your child's hormones and can give your child a boost of energy.
Blue tansy essential oil has a number of infection-fighting properties including antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory properties. You may diffuse this essential oil if your child is suffering from digestive and respiratory disturbances.
You may also dilute this oil and apply the mixture onto your child's skin. It helps heal a number of skin inflammation and disorders such as insect bites.
2. Thieves
Thieves essential oil is another child-friendly oil that can keep sickness at bay. Taking in this oil's aroma helps enhance your child's immune system. It also has antibacterial properties which help ward off symptoms of common diseases such as cold and flu.
You can create a DIY disinfectant spray by mixing distilled water, witch hazel, and a drop or two of thieves essential oil. This is especially handy when your child loves to play with things that potentially hold bacteria.
3. Valor
Your child's overall health is not always dictated by his physical shape. If your child is suffering from mental uneasiness such as excessive mood swings or difficulty in sleeping at night, diffusing valor essential oil would help.
Its calming scent can relax your child's mental state with an added bonus of boosting his immune system.
4. Frankincense
Frankincense essential oil is renowned for its cell-regenerating properties that help promote healthy cells and tissues in your child's body. It is also an effective cure for oral health problems such as cavities and toothaches, respiratory disorders, as well as digestive disorders.
If your child is suffering from or is prone to skin problems, frankincense essential oil is a good choice. Topical application of diluted frankincense oil can help moisturize and replenish dry, irritated skin and heal skin rashes.
5. Eucalyptus
Eucalyptus extract is commonly used as an ingredient in creams and ointments. This is because it has soothing properties that can deliver results instantly. Eucalyptus essential oil contains the same properties which are also known to stimulate the immune system.
Eucalyptus essential oil is a natural decongestant as well and can be used to soothe joint and muscle pain and relieve symptoms of asthma and respiratory tract infections.
During the seasons when proper exercise and diet seem to be not enough to keep your child in good shape, using these essential oils can help provide additional support to his health. Just remember, no matter which essential oil you use for your child, proper dilution and safe handling are a must!

I love natural skin care products. I can bet that you probably have someone on your holiday 'give' list this year who also LOVES natural skin care.EOskin care has products that are hand crafted with essential oils and natural, organic ingredients.
The folks at EO® are dedicated to making personal care products that nurture the people who use them, respect people who make them, and honor the planet we all share. Here's what they have to say about their products:
"We think what we put on our bodies is as important as what we put in our bodies. We like to know what’s inside our lotions, soaps, and shampoos. So, here at EO®, we research, develop, manufacture, and ship our own products. We didn’t dream of being manufacturers--it’s hard work and often thankless. But we learned that the only way to ensure that the quality inside every bottle was up to our standards was to make it ourselves."
I was sent a wonderful variety of EO products to review, and I am head over heels with them! Any of these (below) would make someone very happy this holiday season!

This trio works synergistically to support beautiful looking skin, at any age. All three Generation Ūth products combine the finest ingredients with the most advanced skin care technologies.

"Discover how naturally beautiful your skin can look and feel"
My thoughts: I was given the chance to review this amazing trio of Generation Ūth products to review. I have been using these products for a little over a month now, and I have definitely seen an incredible difference in the way my skin looks and feels. I begin this skin care regimen by cleansing my face using the Ūth Facial Cleanser in the morning and at night. The cleanser makes my skin feeling extremely clean, especially with the gentle exfoliators it contains. I love how it removes all of my makeup, oil and dead skin cells that may clog my pores.
Next, I apply the Ūth Skin Rejuvenation Crème, which absorbs perfectly into my skin without a greasy, heavy feel. It truly diminishes my fine lines, which I especially notice around my mouth and between my brows. These lines really seem to vanish!
After the Rejuvenation Crème has fully absorbed, I then apply the Ūth Moisturizer, which completely seals in the moisture on my face, neck and upper chest/ cleavage area. This cream is also very light and absorbs very nicely so that I do not look like an oil slick. I am even able to apply my makeup over both of these face creams without my skin looking shiny. I am really impressed with Ūth products. I am very intrigued by the science behind this brand's formulation and I am excited to see the long term effect it has on my skin to keep me looking youthful. This is definitely a brand I will be purchasing in the future.

Philip B. Botanical products have been A list hair care treatments for years, turning the driest of locks into luscious, healthy heads of hair. Although Philip B. products are well known for what they can achieve for the hair and scalp, we’ve dug a little deeper into what these formulas can do beyond what they promise on their labels! It’s time to rethink the way you spray, lather and dab.
MEET THE MULTITASKERS:
Peppermint & Avocado Volumizing & Clarifying Shampoo ($28): It’s known for leaving scalps tingly clean. But high levels of naturally antiseptic peppermint oil make it a genius makeup-brush cleaner.
I absolutely love this shampoo! It makes my hair feel so very deep-down clean. I love the minty tingle on my scalp. It definitely strips away all build-up, yet does not remove the natural oils of my hair.
Oud Royal Forever Shine Shampoo ($75): This leaves hair – along with your favorite cashmere sweaters – soft and superluxe. (Cashmere’s woven from hair shorn from cashmere goats’ underbellies.)
Rejuvenating Oil ($30) & Lovin’ Leave-In Conditioner ($26): Perennial bestsellers, these leave your hair soft, piece-y and frizz-free. But they work wonders on parched skin, too—especially elbows & knees.
Russian Amber Imperial Shampoo ($140): This vitamin-dense cleanser gives you incredibly full, shiny-smooth hair. Due to its healing properties, a prominent burn doctor even orders it for his patients.
Katira Hair Masque ($40): The unique, clear-gel conditioner smoothes coarse or curly hair, leaving it bouncy and lush. Worked through damp hair, it makes blowouts unbelievably soft and swingy. Bonus: It can be used as a strong hold gel for sleek, slicked-back looks.
This hair masque is wonderful! After shampooing, I leave it in my hair for about ten minutes until it kind of feels 'crunchy' in my hair, like styling gel. After rinsing, my hair is amazingly soft, silky and perfectly hydrated. My son uses it on his curly hair as a gel to keep his tresses nice and tame.
Anti Flake Relief Shampoo ($35): To itchy, flaking scalps, this delivers lasting relief. And used in the shower as a spot treatment for dry skin, psoriasis or “chicken skin” on the upper arms, it’s just as brilliant.
I have psoriasis on the very back of my scalp. When I am shampooing, I add this shampoo onto my affected area and just massage it in really well for about three minutes. It has worked miracles on my psoriasis. I have not had any flaking at all since I have been using this product. My daughter swears by it for her dry scalp, too. It works so much better than any dandruff shampoo we have ever tried.
Russian Amber Imperial Dry Shampoo ($40): A cult favorite, this lends limp hair major volume and a powdery-clean feel. With its luxe mix of essential oils, it makes a gorgeous room fragrance, too.
I am completely smitten with this dry shampoo. It is so unbelievably amazing! When my hair needs a quick pick-me-up, or looks oily and flat, I spray this product into my dry hair. First of all, it doesn't make my hair look white like some dry shampoos. Secondly, it has a wonderful cooling feeling! It gives my hair beautiful texture without the residue that other texturizing products give me. My hair is left looking très chic and voluminous! This is the best dry shampoo I have ever used.
Oud Royal Thermal Spray ($25) & Mega Curl Enhancer ($50): These leave-in treatments protect your hair while leaving it super-soft and glossy – plus, they double as good-for-you body lotions in a pinch .
I often flat iron my hair, so this thermal protection spray has been heaven sent. I apply it to my damp hair and wait for it to air dry before straightening my hair. My hair looks so glossy and sleek.
My girls love this Mega Curl Enhancer. It makes their curls look like beautiful ringlets!

Happy hump day! It’s time for the beach! This winter was a long and brutal one, but summer days have finally arrived. Whether you relax by the pool or take a dip in the ocean, you can do a lot of damage to your hair and scalp. The heat and salt water can strip vital vitamins and moisture from each follicle causing split ends and dry scalp.
Luckily, Teadora recently launched the finest, most unique line of bath and body products crafted with sustainably harvested natural and organic ingredients from the Brazilian rainforest. The Teadora Nourishing Shampoo and Conditioner contain the Rainforest Youth Elixir composed of a unique blend of Brazilian ingredients that add shine and softness to any hair type.
Antioxidant and vitamin-rich Buriti, Açaí and Cupuaçu combine for stronger, shinier, moisture-infused hair. The focus of the washes is to provide intense hydration, shine, and softness, with the unique quality of protecting your hair against UV rays to help prevent split ends. There’s no need to take the beach back home with you in your hair!
It’s available in two 100% natural signature fragrances
Rainforest AT DAWN / Wake up in the rainforest: Vibrant & lively, woodsy, yet floral aroma that will awaken your senses and ready you for the day ahead.
Rainforest AT DUSK / Relax in the rainforest: Flowery, smooth aroma with a hint of fruit that soothes and revitalizes your senses after a long day.
Teadora’s products are cruelty-free, 100% vegan, sulfate, paraben and harsh-chemical free so you can feel good inside and out.
Teadora also dedicates part of the proceeds to help fund a program the company has trademarked as “Earth for you. You for Earth.” funding a philanthropic exchange between the U.S. and Brazil to support youth education, leadership development, health, and rainforest conservation.
My Experience: My hair has been extremely dry lately with really ugly split ends, I know it is time to get a trim, but I have not had the time! I was sent Teadora shampoo and conditioner to review, and I hoped my hair could benefit from it.
I keep the Rainforest at DAWN fragrance in my upstairs shower, and the Rainforest at DUSK fragrance in my downstairs shower because I use both showers. First of all, the shampoo lathers up luxuriously and leaves my hair intoxicatingly fragrant and beautifully clean. The conditioner leaves my hair so very soft and perfectly hydrated. My daughters and son love it as well. I cannot decide which fragrance I like the best because they are both completely invigorating and leave my hair smelling amazing. I have definitely noticed that my split ends look so much better. My hair does not feel parched anymore. I absolutely love Teadora hair care products!
The washes are available in 12 oz bottles and retail for $35.00.
Teadora is available at www.teadorabeauty.comand soon at a favorite department and beauty specialty store near you.

Driven by their passion for a healthy lifestyle Baby Mantra was founded by Nupoor and Vinnie, two sisters committed to a natural and organic lifestyle. A deep appreciation for natural skin care was ingrained in them at a very young age as their mother relied greatly on the use of all-natural home-based remedies growing up. This not only enriched them with an incredibly healthy lifestyle but also gave them great passion for all things natural. It was only “natural” that they would utilize the same techniques when they had children of their own. It was at that moment, Baby Mantra was born.
Made in the U.S.A from only top quality all-natural and organic ingredients, Baby Mantra hosts an entire product line of baby lotions, baby oils, Mommy Body butter, shampoo & body wash all tested and approved by Nupoor and her beautiful baby girls. These products safeguard baby soft skin by forming a natural barrier to lock in moisture and guarantee soft, supple, healthy skin for years to come. With such phenomenal results, they simply could not resist sharing this lush line of products to all the caring mothers & beautiful babies of the world!
Baby Mantra's naturally low foaming 2-in-1 Shampoo & Body Wash brings you our favorite bath-time essential. Moisturizing coconut oil paired with antioxidant rich aloe make this a favorite for mom & baby. The convenience of a shampoo and body wash in one refreshing foam free preparation. Guaranteed splashes and smiles! Perfect for babies. It contains all natural and organic ingredients and NO toxins, NO artificial preservatives, dyes, chemicals. In addition, Baby Mantra's Newborn Shampoo & Body Wash is Gluten Free and Vegan.
My Experience: Although my baby is seven years old, I am still very concerned about his skin. I am always very cautious and careful when it comes to choosing shampoos and body washes for him. I will not use products on my child that contain harmful chemicals and ingredients. Baby Mantra 2-in-1 Shampoo & Body Wash is made with only natural ingredients. I love how moisturizing it is, and the fact that I can wash his hair as well as his body. It smells so fresh, soft and sweet and makes my little boy smell like a baby again. (I miss those baby days.)
Baby Mantra Calming Massage Oil
Baby Mantra Calming Massage Oil gives you the essence of Avocado, Apricot, Grape seed, & Jojoba to leave your little one feeling nothing short of elated. Rich in Vitamin E, a few drops of this oil will work wonders in baby’s sensitive skin, forming a lush moisture barrier that is surely to last throughout the day. Also it can be used as a pre-bedtime massage oil to help soothe baby into sweet slumber. Avocado moisturizing oil is also beneficial for rashes and eczema. Your new bundle of joy deserves to be wrapped in Baby Mantra’s Calming Massage Oil.
Baby Mantra Calming Massage Oil contains all natural and organic ingredients and NO toxins, NO artificial preservatives, dyes, chemicals or fragrances.
My Experience: I wish I had this amazing product when my baby was actually a baby! I have been using Baby Mantra Calming Massage Oil on my little boy's skin right after he gets out of the bath tub. His skin has been so dry lately and I had not found any lotions that do not irritate Braxton's skin. It seems that every product I have ever tried, no matter how 'gentle' the formula claims to be, always further aggravated my son's skin and made the dryness worse. That was until we tried Baby Mantra Calming Massage Oil. I love how it completely absorbs into the skin and leaves it soft and supple without being greasy. It seems to penetrate the skin in a way that no other product has ever done for my child's sensitive skin. His dryness has completely vanished! It leaves 'my baby' smelling soft, sweet and very cuddly!

It works perfectly to remove my makeup without irritating my eyes. it is fabulous as a shampoo as well as a body wash! I imagine that it would be the perfect shampoo to repel lice since it contains tea tree oil. (That is not a pleasant thought, but with one child still in school,that has definitely crossed my mind.)
Organic Shaving Soap in Lemongrass Lime:
Get a close, comfortable shave with organic ingredients that nourish and cleanse the skin! Like organic shikakai powder from India, used there for centuries on hair and body. This Organic Shaving Soaps are great for both men and women. I simply squirt a little bit of Shaving Soap onto my hands (about the size of a nickel) and rub them together for a good lather. I apply it to my underarms as well as my legs (and bikini area-can't forget that!) and continue to rub soap into my skin, enhancing the lather so that I prepare my skin for a good, clean shave. It works perfectly in the shower, and leaves my skin feeling silky smooth.
Lavender Coconut Organic Body Lotion:
Nourish and hydrate skin with good ingredients: organic jojoba oil to heal and soothe, organic coconut oil to moisturize, organic hemp and avocado oils to keep skin smooth and supple. Gentle enough to be used anywhere — hands, face or body. This lotion is highly emollient, so start with a small amount. I keep a bottle by my sink and always apply it after hand-washing. I also apply it from my shoulders to my feet right out of the shower, before my skin dries. Just a few squirts will cover the whole body and absorb quickly into skin. Nourishes and moisturizes organically. Massage slowly into skin for deep relaxation, always towards the heart. My skin is keep perfectly hydrated.

Keeping Kids Healthy with Essential Oils
Parents, despite the numerous measures they take to keep their children in good shape, often overlook one of the most effective ways to help support their kids' health—essential oils.
Essential oils are concentrated plant extracts that are scientifically proven to provide therapeutic benefits to children. They are considered effective health boosters as their aroma can deliver instant effects to the brain. Aside from aromatherapy, they can be applied topically.
Proper Dilution of Essential Oils for Children
Since essential oils are highly potent extracts, using them for children requires extra care. Before applying essential oils directly on your child's skin, you must dilute it with any carrier oil (e.g. coconut oil, avocado oil, grapeseed oil) first.
Generally, the concentration should only be about 0.25%. This means 0.25% of the mixture is the essential oil while the remaining 99.75% is the carrier oil. In other words, four teaspoons of chosen carrier oil must be mixed with each drop of essential oil.
The 0.25%-concentration is the safest concentration level for children, but you can add a little more as your child gets older. For two- to six-year-old kids, the concentration may be increased to 1%. For six- to ten-year-old kids, the concentration may be increased to 1.5%.
Health-Boosting Essential Oils
There are a variety of essential oils that can be used to help keep your kids at their healthiest. Their benefits range from treatment of wounds to relief of stress and anxiety. Below are some of the best essential oils for boosting your child's health.
1. Blue Tansy
Blue tansy essential oil is a great choice during seasons when diseases become more prevalent. It can stimulate your child's hormones and can give your child a boost of energy.
Blue tansy essential oil has a number of infection-fighting properties including antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory properties. You may diffuse this essential oil if your child is suffering from digestive and respiratory disturbances.
You may also dilute this oil and apply the mixture onto your child's skin. It helps heal a number of skin inflammation and disorders such as insect bites.
2. Thieves
Thieves essential oil is another child-friendly oil that can keep sickness at bay. Taking in this oil's aroma helps enhance your child's immune system. It also has antibacterial properties which help ward off symptoms of common diseases such as cold and flu.
You can create a DIY disinfectant spray by mixing distilled water, witch hazel, and a drop or two of thieves essential oil. This is especially handy when your child loves to play with things that potentially hold bacteria.
3. Valor
Your child's overall health is not always dictated by his physical shape. If your child is suffering from mental uneasiness such as excessive mood swings or difficulty in sleeping at night, diffusing valor essential oil would help.
Its calming scent can relax your child's mental state with an added bonus of boosting his immune system.
4. Frankincense
Frankincense essential oil is renowned for its cell-regenerating properties that help promote healthy cells and tissues in your child's body. It is also an effective cure for oral health problems such as cavities and toothaches, respiratory disorders, as well as digestive disorders.
If your child is suffering from or is prone to skin problems, frankincense essential oil is a good choice. Topical application of diluted frankincense oil can help moisturize and replenish dry, irritated skin and heal skin rashes.
5. Eucalyptus
Eucalyptus extract is commonly used as an ingredient in creams and ointments. This is because it has soothing properties that can deliver results instantly. Eucalyptus essential oil contains the same properties which are also known to stimulate the immune system.
Eucalyptus essential oil is a natural decongestant as well and can be used to soothe joint and muscle pain and relieve symptoms of asthma and respiratory tract infections.
During the seasons when proper exercise and diet seem to be not enough to keep your child in good shape, using these essential oils can help provide additional support to his health. Just remember, no matter which essential oil you use for your child, proper dilution and safe handling are a must!

Nothing is Better than the Gift of Natural Beauty! Skin Care for Everyone!
I love natural skin care products. I can bet that you probably have someone on your holiday 'give' list this year who also LOVES natural skin care. EO skin care has products that are hand crafted with essential oils and natural, organic ingredients.
The folks at EO® are dedicated to making personal care products that nurture the people who use them, respect people who make them, and honor the planet we all share. Here's what they have to say about their products:
"We think what we put on our bodies is as important as what we put in our bodies. We like to know what’s inside our lotions, soaps, and shampoos. So, here at EO®, we research, develop, manufacture, and ship our own products. We didn’t dream of being manufacturers--it’s hard work and often thankless. But we learned that the only way to ensure that the quality inside every bottle was up to our standards was to make it ourselves."

Mannatech Introduces its Generation Ūth™ Skin Care System!
Mannatech, a global provider of skin care and wellness products, introduces its newest 3-step skin care system in the U.S. to provide a way for customers to experience their best skin yet with one set of products.
This trio works synergistically to support beautiful looking skin, at any age. All three Generation Ūth products combine the finest ingredients with the most advanced skin care technologies.
Crocus chrysanthus , a flower from the iris family, is a source of a special ingredient in Mannatech’s Ūth Skin Rejuvenation Crème. The nutrient-rich Crocus bulb extract may enhance the production of collagen and elastin necessary for skin firmness.
Start by gently cleansing and exfoliating the skin with the Ūth Facial Cleanser . Next, apply the nutrient-rich Ūth Skin Rejuvenation Crème to help restore a youthful appearance. Lastly, lock in daily hydration with the Ūth Moisturizer for a winning combination . It’s that simple!
"Discover how naturally beautiful your skin can look and feel"
My thoughts: I was given the chance to review this amazing trio of Generation Ūth products to review. I have been using these products for a little over a month now, and I have definitely seen an incredible difference in the way my skin looks and feels. I begin this skin care regimen by cleansing my face using the Ūth Facial Cleanser in the morning and at night. The cleanser makes my skin feeling extremely clean, especially with the gentle exfoliators it contains. I love how it removes all of my makeup, oil and dead skin cells that may clog my pores.
Next, I apply the Ūth Skin Rejuvenation Crème, which absorbs perfectly into my skin without a greasy, heavy feel. It truly diminishes my fine lines, which I especially notice around my mouth and between my brows. These lines really seem to vanish!
After the Rejuvenation Crème has fully absorbed, I then apply the Ūth Moisturizer, which completely seals in the moisture on my face, neck and upper chest/ cleavage area. This cream is also very light and absorbs very nicely so that I do not look like an oil slick. I am even able to apply my makeup over both of these face creams without my skin looking shiny. I am really impressed with Ūth products. I am very intrigued by the science behind this brand's formulation and I am excited to see the long term effect it has on my skin to keep me looking youthful. This is definitely a brand I will be purchasing in the future.

You’ve been underestimating your Philip B. favorites!
Philip B. Botanical products have been A list hair care treatments for years, turning the driest of locks into luscious, healthy heads of hair. Although Philip B. products are well known for what they can achieve for the hair and scalp, we’ve dug a little deeper into what these formulas can do beyond what they promise on their labels! It’s time to rethink the way you spray, lather and dab.
MEET THE MULTITASKERS:
Peppermint & Avocado Volumizing & Clarifying Shampoo ($28): It’s known for leaving scalps tingly clean. But high levels of naturally antiseptic peppermint oil make it a genius makeup-brush cleaner.
I absolutely love this shampoo! It makes my hair feel so very deep-down clean. I love the minty tingle on my scalp. It definitely strips away all build-up, yet does not remove the natural oils of my hair.
I am completely smitten with this dry shampoo. It is so unbelievably amazing! When my hair needs a quick pick-me-up, or looks oily and flat, I spray this product into my dry hair. First of all, it doesn't make my hair look white like some dry shampoos. Secondly, it has a wonderful cooling feeling! It gives my hair beautiful texture without the residue that other texturizing products give me. My hair is left looking très chic and voluminous! This is the best dry shampoo I have ever used.

Take Care of Your Hair this Summer with Teadora! (Review)
Happy hump day! It’s time for the beach! This winter was a long and brutal one, but summer days have finally arrived. Whether you relax by the pool or take a dip in the ocean, you can do a lot of damage to your hair and scalp. The heat and salt water can strip vital vitamins and moisture from each follicle causing split ends and dry scalp.
Luckily, Teadora recently launched the finest, most unique line of bath and body products crafted with sustainably harvested natural and organic ingredients from the Brazilian rainforest. The Teadora Nourishing Shampoo and Conditioner contain the Rainforest Youth Elixir composed of a unique blend of Brazilian ingredients that add shine and softness to any hair type.
Antioxidant and vitamin-rich Buriti, Açaí and Cupuaçu combine for stronger, shinier, moisture-infused hair. The focus of the washes is to provide intense hydration, shine, and softness, with the unique quality of protecting your hair against UV rays to help prevent split ends. There’s no need to take the beach back home with you in your hair!
It’s available in two 100% natural signature fragrances
Rainforest AT DAWN / Wake up in the rainforest: Vibrant & lively, woodsy, yet floral aroma that will awaken your senses and ready you for the day ahead.
Rainforest AT DUSK / Relax in the rainforest: Flowery, smooth aroma with a hint of fruit that soothes and revitalizes your senses after a long day.
Teadora’s products are cruelty-free, 100% vegan, sulfate, paraben and harsh-chemical free so you can feel good inside and out.
Teadora also dedicates part of the proceeds to help fund a program the company has trademarked as “Earth for you. You for Earth.” funding a philanthropic exchange between the U.S. and Brazil to support youth education, leadership development, health, and rainforest conservation.
My Experience: My hair has been extremely dry lately with really ugly split ends, I know it is time to get a trim, but I have not had the time! I was sent Teadora shampoo and conditioner to review, and I hoped my hair could benefit from it.
I keep the Rainforest at DAWN fragrance in my upstairs shower, and the Rainforest at DUSK fragrance in my downstairs shower because I use both showers. First of all, the shampoo lathers up luxuriously and leaves my hair intoxicatingly fragrant and beautifully clean. The conditioner leaves my hair so very soft and perfectly hydrated. My daughters and son love it as well. I cannot decide which fragrance I like the best because they are both completely invigorating and leave my hair smelling amazing. I have definitely noticed that my split ends look so much better. My hair does not feel parched anymore. I absolutely love Teadora hair care products!
The washes are available in 12 oz bottles and retail for $35.00.
Teadora is available at www.teadorabeauty.com and soon at a favorite department and beauty specialty store near you.

Pamper Your Sweet Little One With Baby Mantra Organic Baby Products (Review)
Driven by their passion for a healthy lifestyle Baby Mantra was founded by Nupoor and Vinnie, two sisters committed to a natural and organic lifestyle. A deep appreciation for natural skin care was ingrained in them at a very young age as their mother relied greatly on the use of all-natural home-based remedies growing up. This not only enriched them with an incredibly healthy lifestyle but also gave them great passion for all things natural. It was only “natural” that they would utilize the same techniques when they had children of their own. It was at that moment, Baby Mantra was born.
Made in the U.S.A from only top quality all-natural and organic ingredients, Baby Mantra hosts an entire product line of baby lotions, baby oils, Mommy Body butter, shampoo & body wash all tested and approved by Nupoor and her beautiful baby girls. These products safeguard baby soft skin by forming a natural barrier to lock in moisture and guarantee soft, supple, healthy skin for years to come. With such phenomenal results, they simply could not resist sharing this lush line of products to all the caring mothers & beautiful babies of the world!
I received samples of Baby Mantra's Newborn 2-in-1 Shampoo & Body Wash and their Calming Massage Oil to review.
Newborn 2-in-1 Shampoo & Body Wash
Baby Mantra's naturally low foaming 2-in-1 Shampoo & Body Wash brings you our favorite bath-time essential. Moisturizing coconut oil paired with antioxidant rich aloe make this a favorite for mom & baby. The convenience of a shampoo and body wash in one refreshing foam free preparation. Guaranteed splashes and smiles! Perfect for babies. It contains all natural and organic ingredients and NO toxins, NO artificial preservatives, dyes, chemicals. In addition, Baby Mantra's Newborn Shampoo & Body Wash is Gluten Free and Vegan.
My Experience: Although my baby is seven years old, I am still very concerned about his skin. I am always very cautious and careful when it comes to choosing shampoos and body washes for him. I will not use products on my child that contain harmful chemicals and ingredients. Baby Mantra 2-in-1 Shampoo & Body Wash is made with only natural ingredients. I love how moisturizing it is, and the fact that I can wash his hair as well as his body. It smells so fresh, soft and sweet and makes my little boy smell like a baby again. (I miss those baby days.)
Baby Mantra Calming Massage Oil
Baby Mantra Calming Massage Oil gives you the essence of Avocado, Apricot, Grape seed, & Jojoba to leave your little one feeling nothing short of elated. Rich in Vitamin E, a few drops of this oil will work wonders in baby’s sensitive skin, forming a lush moisture barrier that is surely to last throughout the day. Also it can be used as a pre-bedtime massage oil to help soothe baby into sweet slumber. Avocado moisturizing oil is also beneficial for rashes and eczema. Your new bundle of joy deserves to be wrapped in Baby Mantra’s Calming Massage Oil. Baby Mantra Calming Massage Oil contains all natural and organic ingredients and NO toxins, NO artificial preservatives, dyes, chemicals or fragrances.
My Experience: I wish I had this amazing product when my baby was actually a baby! I have been using Baby Mantra Calming Massage Oil on my little boy's skin right after he gets out of the bath tub. His skin has been so dry lately and I had not found any lotions that do not irritate Braxton's skin. It seems that every product I have ever tried, no matter how 'gentle' the formula claims to be, always further aggravated my son's skin and made the dryness worse. That was until we tried Baby Mantra Calming Massage Oil. I love how it completely absorbs into the skin and leaves it soft and supple without being greasy. It seems to penetrate the skin in a way that no other product has ever done for my child's sensitive skin. His dryness has completely vanished! It leaves 'my baby' smelling soft, sweet and very cuddly!
