So I had this post (and title) in mind for the end of September, but time went so fast that here I am posting it with just three weeks left in the season! I figure if you’re a lover of fall like me, these products are great way to keep the season alive, not to [...]

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. Now after trying several of their topical products, I wanted to share my thoughts with you lovely ladies. Well first off, everything is paraben-free and cruelty-free. In addition, [...]

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, [...]

My Mother’s Day Gift
Hopefully, my mom won’t read this before she gets her mother’s day gift! I decided to give her the Nude Skincare gift set that I was given for my birthday this year.

Little Moon Essentials
Little Moon Essentials is by far one of my absolute favorite natural body care lines. Why haven’t I mentioned them by now? Honestly, I love so many of their products I just did not know where to start! Every single product from this line is just outrageously awesome and fun (interesting choice of adjectives I know, but [...]

A Natural Fragrance for Men & Women
Korres is known for their high quality natural formulations and they did not disappoint with their new line of fragrances. I’ve tried several natural scents before, but none of them have had the complexity and staying power (like conventional perfumes) the way this one does. The name – Pepper Jasmine Gaiac Wood Passion Fruit – [...]

Their Scalp Recovery shampoo and conditioner combine West African Neem oil (highly antifungal & antibacterial) with African Black Soap (cleansing) and Handcrafted Shea Butter (moisturizing & restorative) to encourage balanced oil production and to discourage flakiness.

Sure to be a Hit!
It’s funny how you can discover great beauty companies — sometimes it’s a really well-known one that you finally try out, maybe it’s a small blurb in a magazine, an unexpected find in a fun boutique, OR it’s your older sister in a small, New Hampshire town talking to the cousin of the company’s owners [...]

Such a Potent Little Berry
I recently discovered Sibu Beauty and tried their sea buckthorn liquid supplement. The serving size is small (1-3 ounces/day), but packs a powerful punch of tangy, sweet flavor loaded with antioxidants. The taste is quite enjoyable and reminds me of apricot nectar with a tart twist. This bright orange fluid is said to improve skin [...]

Exercise has never been this easy!
Yes, these “anti-shoes” by MBT Shoes really are as cool as you were thinking. I have been so, so curious about what they would be like. My initial thought when I put them on my feet: moonshoes! (Anyone else ever own a pair??) Granted, wearing these are not equatable to having mini trampolines strapped to [...]

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!
