Love True Natural: Natural Cosmetics Review

Image Credit: Ashley Rose via Flickr

I know I’ve mentioned before that I don’t often wear a lot of make up. When I do put make up on it’s usually just a little eye liner and eye shadow. I tend to avoid mascara like the plaque...for one every mascara I’ve ever used has irritated my eyes, made them itchy, gave me the urge to rub my eyes and two I’d I forget I was wearing it and I WOULD rub my eyes and end up looking like I had a black eye...you know THAT look...

Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil Hair Treatment {Review & Giveaway}

Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil Hair Treatment from Tropical Traditions has been an amazing treatment for D’s hair. Just this past week, after I washed, conditioned, and detangled D’s hair, I added some Bee Mine Luscious moisturizer then sealed with the Gold Label Coconut Oil Hair Treatment, I banded her hair in 4 sections to prepare it for styling the next evening. The next morning I took the 4 banded sections down and did 2 banded ponytails, I needed her hair to stay as stretched and untangled as possible because that evening I was going to straighten her hair. Her hair was extremely soft and moisturized and I felt it was going to be protected from the heat of the flat iron by the coconut oil treatment.

Exfoliating Minerals Facial Cleanser Review

When I first tried the Exfoliating Minerals Natural Facial Cleanser I had a few problem areas, a small breakout from wearing make up the day before. I don’t often wear make up and when I do it isn’t natural, I haven’t made the switch to a natural make up, yet, so that cause my skin to break out at times. I was surprised at how smooth the cleanser is...not gritty like most exfoliators... to be honest I wasn’t sure if it would actually exfoliate my skin.

Natural Hair & Product Journey: Bee Mine Deja's Hair Milk Review and Discount

Last month marked our one year "Bee Mine-iversay"...we discovered their amazing natural products in October of 2010 and have been using them ever since!

Before we discovered natural products, D's poor hair was lacking the moisture and hydration it needed. The retail store bought products we were using contained mineral oil and petroleum, which can make the hair shiny, so it may appear to be hydrated and healthy, but there is no true nutrients in petroleum based products. Once I realized this and read studies linking petroleum and mineral oil to cancer, I threw out all of D's hair products that contained those ingredients!
