I also love to give Pacifica products for these same reasons plus their colorful and eye-catching packaging just make them perfect for gifting.

Love Lavender?
If you’re a big fan of lavender then you will love this Lavender Aromatherapy Stick by Aura Cacia. It is made with 100% pure lavender essential oil so it smells just like the real stuff. I’ve been using it as my everyday perfume lately and I’m really loving it. Some pluses (aside from the wonderful [...]

Best Natural Deodorant
It’s so easy to go natural when it comes to lotion, shampoo and many other beauty products, but I think deodorant is the hardest yet most worthwhile natural switch to make. Yes, it’s true that the natural brands don’t actually stop you from sweating like the commercial brands do, but they definitely can keep sweat [...]

Dry Skin?
I hate to bring this to everyone’s attention, but we are now just a month and a few days away from the official start of winter! With that said, the colder weather has already been shocking a lot of us and that shock often comes in the form of dry skin – like really, really [...]

Acure Organics
I recently found a new line and new product that I’m seriously impressed with. The line is Acure Organics and the product is their brightening facial scrub sea kelp + chlorella growth factor($14.99). This scrub thoroughly, but not harshly, exfoliates skin through two main ingredients — sea kelp and walnut. After using this scrub your [...]

Fall-Ready Skin Care
As the colder weather crawls in for many of us, there are definitely two things you’ll want to have on hand – lip balm and hand cream. No one wants chapped lips or rough hands so here are two recommendations to keep them both smooth, bright and well-hydrated. {Certified Organic Cocoa Powder with a hint [...]

Undo Summer Hair Damage
As summer winds down, your hair is probably looking less than its best after beach and pool time took their toll. But have no fear because it’s nothing a good hair mask (and a trim) can’t fix. One ultra nourishing hair treatment I recently tried is by California Sunshine. Their three ingredient “Radiant Beach” hair [...]

Hello! Hope everyone has been doing great. I’m slowly trying to get back into my usual routine, but it’s been hard.

HollyBeth’s Grits & Honey Scrub
To me, an ideal facial scrub is one that thoroughly exfoliates, but in the most gentle way. With HollyBeth’s Natural Luxury Grits & Honey Scrub, that’s the exact balance you get — it has the perfect grittiness (thanks to the grits :)) with a calming and antibacterial base of sweet honey. This super natural scrub [...]

The Wonders of Neem
Neem is an ancient herb from India, which is known for its medicinal benefits externally and internally. Neem’s extremely high antioxidant content, high levels of fatty acids as well as its anti-inflammatory properties and antibacterial abilities makes it an excellent choice for people with chronically dry or irritated skin. Some people have even reported healing [...]

DOLLY&MILA
Dolly and Mila originated in a tiny kitchen in NYC after the founders traveled through Central America and spent years studying Indigenous remedies, anthropology and holistic nutrition. The founders are best friends from childhood, but they’re names are actually not Dolly and Mila. The line was named after two special women who inspired them throughout [...]

Improve Your Toothpaste
Here is some great info from The 1Dental.com Blog on a very common ingredient found in most toothpastes, as well as many beauty products. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate: This strange-sounding chemical is actually SOAP. Unfortunately, you would never consider brushing your teeth with soap, but billions of people do it every day because it’s a very [...]
