Bronzed FX Mineral Bronzing Powder
I am loving this bronzer by Cover FX. It goes on so evenly and the shade is really natural looking. I also love that it was developed with sensitive skin in mind (always a plus). It’s free of oil, fragrance, and parabens. Try it over foundation or by itself for a perfect, sun-kissed look!

Nature’s Cough Syrup
It didn’t surprise me at all when I recently read that the most effective cough syrup could not be bought in your nearest drugstore. Rather, it’s the simple yet extremely effective tonic of lemon and honey that has always been a staple in my house during times of illness. Even as a married woman, the [...]

Organic Essence
I recently tried Organic Essence for the first time. Their products are USDA certified organic and have some very unique biodegradable packaging. I now have 2 of their shea butter creams and as you can see from the picture, each one has this biodegradable “eco jar” as they call it. The Pure Organic Shea Cream [...]

Artichokes – How to Cook Them!
Here are several suggestions for how to cook a whole artichoke (just go to Basic Preparation under Recipes & Such – there’s even a video!) I usually opt for steaming, using a steamer set like the one pictured below, and I let it cook for at least 45 minutes or until the leaves pull off [...]

Artichokes for Detoxifying & More!
I was reading up on the liver today and some of the foods that are excellent for liver health/detoxification. I’m happy to say that one of my ultimate favorites are on the list – artichokes! These prickly green, flower-like veggies act as blood purifiers and contain both liver-protective and liver-restorative properties. Clinical studies have also [...]

Recently Added to the Lineup
A product that’s in CVS and has the word “organics” easily sparked my interest this past weekend. I was in the market for a new conditioner and this Renpure Organics was talking pure, organic, green tea, chamomile, soy protein and that was all before I even got to the ingredients list. I also somewhat enjoyed [...]

My Next Bath Mat
Gaiam’s Cork Bath Mat is naturally anti-fungal, nonslip, and dries quickly. What more can you ask for from a bath mat? Maybe that it feels nice when you’re standing on it…I won’t make any judgments about that until those are my 2 (much girlier) feet!

A Natural Beauty Must-Have
For a while, I didn’t have jojoba oil on hand and I really missed it! It’s definitely my favorite oil when it comes to natural beauty. Jojoba oil is just such a great, versatile natural beauty product to keep on hand. Chemically, jojoba oil is perfect for us humans because its molecular structure is identical [...]
