Every House of Steep product is designed with relaxation in mind including their Cleansing Calm Foot Spray and Herb Soak Salts (below) made by Branch & Vine, my new line! If you try anything out, I would love to hear what you think.

In addition to the move, I’ve been meaning to tell everyone some other exciting news… I’ve previously mentioned a relatively new company called blissmo, which is an amazing site for finding and purchasing the best organic and eco-friendly products at up to 70% off. Well, I’m very excited to announce that I recently became one of the blissmo curators helping to find the fab lines and products being featured on a daily basis! (That’s me bottom left)

Have a great rest of the week (in case I’m not back from unpacking before it ends)!

FYI – today’s blissmo deal is $44 worth of Enzoskin for only $19! My readers can receive an extra 5% off of this toxin-free cosmetic and skincare company when they enter code “trybliss” at checkout.

For starters, I would love to try their Coffee & Cream Soap ~ soothing and nourishing goat milk soap infused with blend of coffee bean butter, cocoa and organic ground coffee. Doesn’t that sound great?

A 100% natural and organic line, My True Nature is a perfect start to every baby’s beautifying routine, and it’s especially perfect for sensitive skin conditions. But I wouldn’t say it’s just for kids. With products rich in organic botanicals like aloe, plantain and white peony tea extracts, adult skin (especially sensitive) will love it too!

In addition to letting you know about today’s 50% off deal, I’m also doing a giveaway! The winner will receive this combo gift set, which includes a 12oz bottle of Bobo’s Bubble Bath and an 8oz bottle of Milo’s 2-in-1 Shampoo/Body Wash. It’s a perfect introduction to the line for yourself or someone you love (adorable baby shower gift).

I’ve never been one for online shopping, but this is one website that makes me want to skip the health store.  Shipping is currently free on First Class USPS orders over $25 and it’s just so fun to see how much you can put in your shopping cart for that price point (my order below).  Also, if you’re a first time buyer use Discount Code FTC5DO to get $5 off your first order. Writing this post is really making me want to place another order today! I highly suggest checking them out - healthdesigns.com

This is exactly what I got for $25:

• Avalon Organics, CoQ10 Facial Cleansing Milk 8.5 fl oz
• Yogi, DeTox Tea 16 Tea Bags
• Now Foods, Unsweetened Medium Coconut 10 oz
• ShiKai, Hand & Body Lotion Honeysuckle 8 fl oz
• Chandrika, Ayurvedic Soap 2.64 oz
• Queen Helene, Aloe Deodorant 2.7 oz
• 6 free samples (like Nordic Naturals, DHA Sample Pack 500 mg Strawberry 2 softgels)

Well first off, everything is paraben-free and cruelty-free. In addition, none of their products contain dairy, wheat, gluten, sodium, yeast or preservatives. The main ingredient in this line is the super berry sea buckthorn, which is sourced through fair trade agreements with local harvesters in Tibet (an effort the Dalai Lama has taken notice of).

My favorite product of theirs right now is the Sea Buckthorn Age Defying Eye Cream, which features sea buckthorn and pumpkin seed. This botanical blend is the perfect trifecta – it reduces puffiness, dark circles and fine lines.  Personally, I often find that eye creams seem to irritate that ultra sensitive area, but I’ve been using this one for weeks with no complaints. It’s a perfect consistency, easily absorbs into the skin and as with most eye creams, a little goes a long way. I’m so happy to have found this eye cream because I was getting concerned after so many natural eye creams irritated me!

I also love the Cleanse & Detox Facial Soap (a very sweet, earthy scent and gently exfoliating) and the Body Cream (a bright, citrus scent and a perfectly creamy consistency).

Has anyone tried any of Sibu’s products yet?

• If you want to avoid high sugar content just go with plain! Even the plain varieties naturally have 12 g of sugar. The sweetened have up to 35 g!
• Greek yogurt, which is much thicker, can contain up to twice the protein of a non-Greek brand, but it has less calcium.
• Yogurt contains probiotics, which is healthy bacteria. Probiotics are linked with a healthy digestive system and a stronger immune systems.
• Do not drain out that top watery layer! That liquid is pure protein (specifically whey protein).
• Some of my favorite additions to plain yogurt: a drizzle of honey (a prebiotic which encourages the activity of probiotics), walnuts, fresh berries, sliced banana, and wheat germ.
• Since yogurt has probiotics, a lot of people that are lactose intolerant do not have issues with consuming it!
