When Alex from Andalou Naturals emailed me a few months ago, I’d heard of Andalou Naturals, but had never really taken a second glance at them before. I spent some time poking around their website and became really intrigued with their Fruit Stem Cell Science. Finding out about their organic and fair-trade ingredients only sealed [...]

Natural Beauty Tips

Cleanser Eliminate the chemicals & sulfates in your store-bought cleansers and switch to the Oil Cleansing Method (OCM). OCM is a great way to dip your toes into organic skincare and also treat your skin while dissolving makeup, oil, and dirt. For an even easier, one-ingredient cleanser, try the honey challenge and cleanse with raw [...]

Haircare Challenge: ‘Poo & Product-Free

11 Comments 04 September 2011

I have never been one of those people who wanted my hair’s texture to be something that it’s not. I’ve always embraced my curls, and rather enjoyed the fact that the only thing I had to do to “style” my hair was scrunch some gel into my wet locks and let it air-dry. Really, my [...]

Make Your Own Deodorant

No Comments 13 August 2011

Of most anything you could make yourself and go organic with your skincare routine, deodorant was high on my “no way, Jose” list. But…since I’ve had so much fun messing around in the kitchen trying other skincare recipes and remedies, I decided to give it a try. I tested this on a Saturday when I [...]

Skincare Game-Changer: Honey

1 Comment 24 July 2011

It’s been a week into Crunchy Betty’s Honey Challenge, and my skin already is showing SO much improvement! In fact, when I woke up this morning, I had ZERO new blemishes! I still have several acne spots that are healing from past blemishes, but today marks probably the first day since before puberty that I [...]

One of my favorite blogs, Crunchy Betty, is hosting a “Honey Challenge”…washing your face with honey for 2 entire weeks! I know, that sounds so weird–and scary!

My Current (Organic) Skincare Routine

2 Comments 27 June 2011

It’s been about two months since I decided to try out organic skincare, or more specifically skincare with organic oils. Not only do I have more room in my bathroom cabinet (and my wallet), I have to say that my skin has never looked and felt better! What I was using before (insert cringes here): [...]

New Obsession: Hard Lotion

No Comments 14 June 2011

After getting lost in a tangled web of some amazing blogs last week, I happened to stumble on three different mentions of MadeOn Skincare describes hard lotion this way: The hard lotion bar has three simple ingredients: shea butter, coconut oil and beeswax. That’s it! Shea butter and coconut oil are known edible emollients. They [...]

Miracles By Coconut Oil

2 Comments 20 May 2011

Apparently I am on a “slippery slope” of natural oils. It started with the sample of Argan oil that I received from Sephora, moved through the oil cleansing method, and has brought me to extra virgin coconut oil (EVCO). I read about EVCO online and the “miracle” properties it has to cure everything from dry [...]

The Oil Cleansing Method

No Comments 14 May 2011

After having such amazing results with Argan oil, I’ve been spending the last couple of weeks researching oils for skin treatments. I’ve stumbled across several articles & blog posts about the Oil Cleansing Method (OCM), a.k.a. “washing” your face with oil. Acne.org describes the OCM this way: “Oil dissolves oil. One of the most basic [...]
