This month I have discovered two cleansers that are instant favorites. I was impressed with both on first use, and will continue to buy them both. I am crazy about Indie Lee’s Brightening Cleanser. This gentle, foaming, cleanser completely removes makeup and dirt without drying out your skin. It is made with Strawberry Seed Oil, hydrolyzed wheat protein and Tomato extracts. You can leave it on for 5 minutes to use as an exfoliating mask. Skin is left brightened and softened. I am a huge fan of this brand in general. Every product is made from high quality ingredients that blend the best of nature and Science. The second cleanser I’ve gone crazy for is Bare Minerals Pure Plush Gentle Deep Cleansing Foam. Just a pea sized amount provides enough lather to deep clean your entire face. It uses mineral rich sea salts, rosemary, and elderflower to brighten and refine skin. This cleanser even removes my eyemakeup. Both of these brands deliver instant results. So get dirty, to get clean again…

my new body scrub from Olive+M. “Olive+M was created from the belief what you put on your body is just as important as what you put in your body.” It is a clean beauty line, where every ingredient used plays a role in the efficacy of it. The plant based oils in their formulas work to balance out oil production without stripping skin of its protective barrier. Olive oil resembles the molecular makeup of our body’s natural oils therefore it penetrates quickly and to the deepest level. The Body Polish also uses mineral rich sea salt to detoxify and exfoliate. It has a subtle scent of sweet orange and geranium. So get you Olive on with Olive+M and be healthy inside and out…

faster than ever, thanks to Kristin Ess Sea Salt Air Dry Spray. This is a product I will re-buy over and over again. It is a wave spray designed to go on wet hair. Though it is a salt spray, it leaves my hair soft and controlled verse crunchy. The bottle allows for a super fine, constant mist, to evenly cover your hair with the perfect amount. It contains their patented “zip-up” technology that strengthens split ends and weak areas of the hair.  An added bonus is that it makes your hair great for an updo, because it adds major volume and a touchable grit. It is only $10 and you can find it at Target. So get this affordable luxury for your hair, and get out there…

choc-bar_firecracker_1with Chuao Chocolatier firecracker Bar. My latest chocolate obsession. This dark chocolate is made with chipotle and a sprinkling of sea salt. As you chew you’ll notice popping candy explodes and starts a party in your mouth. It is ethically sourced cacao, all natural, and gluten free. So get with the wild side of chocolate.

 

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;

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.

IslandCollectionor just look like you did. I am currently obsessed with Alcame’s Endless Summer Beach hair Sea Salt Spray. It is part of their Island Collection- which, by the way, smells amazing! I have tried many salt sprays that advertise for the “beachy look” and none have delivered. They usually give my waves a little crunch and a lot of frizz. This product gave me zero frizz and total control, plus major shine. So look like an island girl with Alcame and do it in the sun….


Then you need to start using Cali Cosmetics Panarea Body Scrub. It exfoliates away dirt and dead skin cells, while improving circulation. It’s made with Malvasia Grapes, sea salt, white ginger, aloe vera, chamomile extract, and white willow bark. This stuff is very luxurious, smells great, and is super gentle.
