Cinnamon Vanilla Body Butter
Now that the weather is cooling off and the air is a bit drier, I find myself using more lotion. One thing I always like to have at night to put on before bed during this season is a good body butter. I’ve made my own in the past and I decided to again recently! […]
Tips For Going Vegan
Since a lot of people are going vegan for January, I thought I would do a post on the things that have helped me go vegan and stay vegan. I know not everyone is the same, but I want you all to succeed and not make some of the common mistakes that lead to failure. […]
Grapefruit Lavender Body Mist and Rosemary Mint Body Mist
I love essential oils. They make all the difference sometimes in terms of the way your body feels. For instance. Walking into a room to the aroma of lavender and grapefruit I am calmed and relaxed. I sometimes like to use this scent in my room at night for that reason if I am feeling […]
Cacao Mint Coconut Deodorant
Commercial deodorants can contain some nasty stuff like aluminum (linked to cancer and alzheimer’s disease), parabens (hormone disrupters), artificial fragrances, propylene glycol (can cause damage to the nervous system in large quantities), phthalates (hormone disrupters), triclosan (considered carcinogenic). I mean yes, they make you not smell or sweat, but sweating is normal and healthy, your […]
Non-Toxic Makeup and Body Care
Most of my life, I never even stopped to think about the products I was putting on my body. I tried to do everything else that was healthy, eating the best organic foods, not smoking, not consuming too much alcohol, but what never occurred to me is that the products I had been putting on […]
Green Tea Mint Scrub
I recently tried a facial scrub with peppermint in it, and I loved it so much that I decided to create my own mint body scrub. In the summer after a workout in the hot humid air, it is nice to pamper yourself while in the shower cooling off. The peppermint in the scrub cools […]
My Foods Journey
I have been asked by quite a few people to share what I eat on a daily basis, so I thought it was about time to share a post with you about it. But first, I thought I would share my background with you, so you know why I choose to live my life and […]
Rosemary Orange Coconut Deodorant and Reducing Chemicals in My Daily Life
This is not a food related post, but it is something that is important to me, and I would like to share for all who would like to read it. I recently read a book by Anna Victoria Rodgers called Toxic World Toxic People and it opened my eyes to the many chemicals we are […]
Toxic World Toxic People Review
When Anna Victoria Rodgers of Miss Eco Glam sent me a copy of her book Toxic World Toxic People, I knew it was going to be a good book, but I had no idea how shocking it would be to learn the dangerous things which we are all exposed to every day. I grew up […]
Citrus Cacao Butter Lip Balm
I go through a lot of lip products. When I was in high school I had the nickname “glossy” because I always had many different lip products on me at any given time, and my lips always had to be moisturized. I am not quite as obsessive about it now, but soft lips are still […]
2 Juices and My Tips For Glowing Skin
I start to crave juice in the winter. Maybe it is because I am not getting as many of my favorite fruits and veggies that are widely available in the summer, or maybe it is just because I am thirsty due to the drier air. But whatever the case, I love my juices lately. They […]
Home Made Flavored Lip Balms
When I was in high school at any given time, I had at least 5 different lip glosses or lip balms on me. In my backpack, pockets, purse. I could never go without it, dry lips are no fun and I could not (and still can not) stand the sensation. I was given the nickname […]
Mocha Almond Body Scrub
This is the time of year when I love the smell of freshly ground coffee. I no longer drink coffee, but I love the smell. It reminds me of when I was younger and my Mom and I would always stop at a local coffee shop after church to get a warm liquid treat. For […]
Grapefruit Lavender Coconut Deodorant
I sweat a lot. I have always been this way, since I was young, and my Grandmother would always tell me it was good to sweat. It releases the toxins in the body. Well, I am the girl that after a run when I am stretching I create a small puddle with the sweat dripping […]
Vanilla Bean Rose Body Frosting
If you come from a place like here in Minnesota where it was under 20 degrees below zero (Fahrenheit) on Monday, your skin is probably suffering a bit. No matter how much water I drink, healthy fats and eat, and lotions I put on, my skin hates winter. It does not help, working in a […]
