You might remember my previous post about Skincando’s Combat-Ready Balm — the wonder salve that’s even effective for troops in the harshest of conditions. Now, there is a version for babies and kids! This miracle cream has similar ingredients, which soothe and heal some of the most delicate skin on earth aka a baby’s. But [...]

Poppy’s Naturally Clean

I especially like the All Purpose Spray Cleaner, which of course contains only natural ingredients and is 100% toxin free.

I recently discovered another awesome green beauty line called Peacock Republic and it has quickly become one of my favorites. I’m especially loving having this gem in my shower right now – their lemongrass love body wash. The scent is just perfect – invigorating in the morning yet calming in the evening and enjoyed by [...]

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 [...]

Cool Glacier Candle
I love this candle by skyn ICELAND for so many reasons. First, it’s soy with a cotton wick, which means it burns REALLY clean. The scent? A relaxing, therapeutic mix of so many interesting fragrances including bergamot, peach, melon, lily, orris, cyclamen, white lavender, and sandalwood (just to name a few). Last but not least, [...]

All Natural Gourmet Ketchup
Ketchup is not my favorite condiment so I don’t usually get too excited about eating it, but Sir Kensington’s Gourmet Scooping Ketchup actually makes me want to talk about this sweet red sauce. How would I describe it? Well their classic version pretty much tastes like normal ketchup, just a lot better. And then there’s [...]

Detoxifying Body Wash
How about a body wash that not only cleanses your skin, but also claims to detoxify your entire body?! I’m talking about Collective Wellbeing’s Charcoal Body Wash. This sulfate-free concoction is definitely unlike anything I’ve tried before…It is very dark grey color (hello charcoal!) and has a very gooey, thick consistency. I like the idea that a capful [...]

Redtree Petite Sirah
I’m a huge fan of red wine, but I haven’t been that excited about one in a while…That was until this week when we picked out this Petite Sirah from Redtree. We found it at our local grocery store (Harris Teeter) for $7.99! We enjoyed it with our dinner and by itself (always love a [...]

Sibu Beauty
In a previous post, I talked about the drinkable form of Sibu Beauty, which is not only an excellent beauty-enhancing product, but it actually tastes good too.

Skincando
I think Skincando might be one of the most unique and altruistic natural lines in existence right now. Founder, Sara Damelio’s search for answers to her own skin ailments led her to the formation of her first and most acclaimed product - Combat-Ready Balm. This balm not only graces the pages of women’s fashion magazines, but has also been regularly donated [...]

(MALIN+GOETZ)
Has anyone tried the peppermint shampoo by (MALIN + GOETZ)? If not, this has to be your next purchase, especially for a summertime shampoo. It is by far, the most minty and refreshing shampoo I have ever used! I just love the way it clarifies my scalp, but still moisturizes my hair.

Pai Skincare
Pai Skincare is another organic skin care line definitely worth trying. Sarah Brown founded this company after becoming fed up with unshakable skin allergies. When doctors insisted the only treatment was masking her issues with numerous medications, she decided to quit her job and develop a plant-based line free of chemicals – Pai was born! [...]

PB of the Natural Sort
To answer a reader’s recent question, I wanted to share some of my favorites in the natural peanut butter department. My first pick would have to be Smucker’s, which was a staple in my house growing up. I always have opted for chunky over smooth, but that’s just my personal preference. As with all natural peanut butters, [...]

A Healthy Twist on Hot Dogs
I am a big fan of sauerkraut and Bubbie’s is definitely my new favorite brand. I love it for the taste and I love it even more for its high probiotic content. A reminder of what’s to love about probiotics: They improve immune function They help to produce vitamin K They suppress the growth of [...]

Yogurt – Icelandic Style
Has anyone else tried siggi’s? I noticed it for the first time the other day and I was curious. I decided to go with the Pomegranate Passion Fruit. My jury is still out on this one… I like that it’s sweetened with agave and hence not very sweet. There is a fruity tartness that seems [...]

The Original “Green” Cleaner
Way before there were “green” products there was Bon Ami. Developed over 120 years ago, Bon Ami was the gentle alternative to the harsh quartz-based cleaning powders around in the 1880s. Today, Bon Ami continues to make cleaning products that are gentle on both its users and surfaces – everything is biodegradable, nontoxic and hypoallergenic. [...]

JUARA Skincare
I have two new scrubs that I am loving right now. Both are by JUARA Skincare, a company that fuses natural Indonesian skincare treatments with modern science. The first is their Rice Facial Scrub, which is rice-based (of course) and has such a clean, fresh scent. It reminds of something I used as a teenager, [...]
