activated_charcoal_facemask_grande

charcoal into your beauty routine. I use Gold Mountain Beauty’s Activated Charcoal Facemask. It is all natural and for all skin types. It uses coconut activated charcoal, bentonite clay, aloe vera and a blend of flower extracts. The charcoal draws impurities from the skin to help fight breakouts and acne. Black Pearl protein is used to improve skin’s elasticity, smooth wrinkles and reduce fine lines. I also love their Tuxedo Natural Teeth Whitener for Sensitive Teeth. It  whitens,detoxifies, fights bacteria, cleans teeth and strengthens enamel.They offer a money back guarantee. So what are you waiting for? Get activated with charcoal, and get it girl…

coconut-body-butter

Trader Joes! No longer just my go-to for snack time, now they’re impressing me with their beauty aisle. I’m in love with The Coconut Body Butter. It smells like summer and is the perfect weight. Heavy enough to provide major moisture, but light enough to blend easy and let your skin breath. It is made with coconut oil, shea butter, and Vitamin E.

I am also very impressed with the Face Wash with Tea Tree oil. It removes all makeup, oil, and dirt, without over drying. It uses Tea tree oil, awapuhi, orange peel and lavender. I can’t wait to try more of their products. So stock up with TJ and make the aisles your runway…

and to the root. Craving longer,stronger,hair? I’ve got a two step plan for you. Start with Vitamins Shampoo by Nourish Beaute. It’s made with castor oil, coconut oil, biotin and procapil. It works by cleaning away sebum and preventing fungal infections that can kill hair roots. It promotes a healthy enviroment to stimulate hair growth and reduce breakage. It also works to thicken the roots and anchor hair follicles to the scalp.

and the earth. So I’m going to tell you about Pura Naturals Peppermint Volcano Soap infused active slice sponge. This product is very cool. It is a dry sponge, great to pack for the gym or camping. It is infused with ground pumice and peppermint oil. The sponge is infused with coconut oil, soybean oil, sunflower oil, shea butter, jojoba oil, cocoa seed butter, vitamin E, and lots more good stuff. It’s approved by the US environmental protection agency. The sponge repels water to inhibit bacteria growth, odor and other issues.

or just order the products online. I’m talking about Isa’s Restoratives skincare. This is a handmade herbal skincare line based in Brooklyn. I’m most excited about the Liquid Gold Facial Serum. “A superb line up of protective and regenerative rain forest sourced oils and butters, make this serum an effective youth preserving serum, that is fast absorbing leaving the skin soft and well nourished.” It is packed with vitamins and minerals like Maracuja,Vitamins C & A, Murumuru,Cupuacu, babassu, Sandalwwod, and Rose.

The power ingredients are Arjuna bark, Raw Cacao, Coconut Charcoal, Guava,and Palmarosa. You make the mask yourself by mixing the powder with water.

It is made of 100% natural botanical extracts to lock in moisture. it soothes and repairs skin. This oil is very lightweight and great for summer. I also like the Grape Stem Cell White tea and Seaweed body Butter.

So try out EmerginC skincare and go with the green, it will make you feel better…

pura botanica

cleanser from Pura Botanica is all natural. It cleanses and moisturizes with organic aloe and shea butter. It foams up well (where a lot of all natural products fall short). After the shower try the all natural Lotion to Love. It leaves skin super soft, with avocado, coconut, and olive oils. “Pura Botanica’s products embody a way of life that supports organic ingredients and sustainable products; it is for people who want to turn everyday rituals, like taking a bath, into an indulgent experience that is a true sensory escape from the stresses of modern life”. So indulge with Pura Botanica, and invite someone to as well….

peppermint_clarifying_hydrogel_120ml_288
There’s a new way to tone your skin. Astringents and Toners can dry out your skin, and leave sensitive skin red. If you’re looking for something different from the norm, try Heaven skincare’s self-healing hydrogels. They consist of a cross link network of organic polymer-style molecules that calm, soothe, and firm skin tissue. They deliver vital skin nutrients and hydration, making them more than just an ordinary toner. My favorite is the Peppermint Clarifying Hydrogel. It cools distressed skin and refines pores. Peppermint and spearmint essential oils calm, while the antiseptic and anti-microbial properties of lavender soothe and coconut moisturizes.

I’m a snackaholic. So I thought I’d share what I’m obsessed with lately. I live a mostly gluten free life. The below are all PMS approved, and in no particular order;

creamy_peanut_free_front1

NutZo nut butter I love this stuff. I’m sure it goes great on everything, but I eat it by the spoon straight from the jar. I like the creamy peanut free version. It’s made of organic cashews, organic almonds, organic brazil nuts, organic flax  seeds, organic hazelnuts, organic chia seeds, organic pumpkin seeds, and sea salt. They give a portion of proceeds to Project Left Behind.

Fudge-PretzelsGlutino Chocolate covered Pretzels. Do I really need to explain why I’m obsessed? This is the heavenly mix of sweet and salty while being gluten free.

theoTheo 70% dark chocolate with sea salt chocolate bars. These bars are amazing and they are organic, fair trade, non gmo, and benefit a great cause- The World Bicycle Relief. Theo is the ” first organic and Fair Trade chocolate factory in the country, our founding principle is that the finest artisan chocolate in the world can (and should) be produced in an entirely ethical, sustainable fashion.
